Princess Ruining realized that she had asked a stupid question and nodded with a red face.
Her opinion of Shen Yubai also completely changed.
Originally, it was thought that this imperial uncle was a ruthless person who only cared about seizing power and grabbing credit, but now it seems that he is just using his own way to protect the Dasheng Dynasty and the royal family members like them.
If you always consider personal relationships, you will never get anything done.
The mansion was full of servants gathered for interrogation, and there was no peace in the front and back yards. Rui Ning thought about it and simply took Jiang Xiancao to the garden.
Just before they arrived, Jiang Huaizhu, who was about to collapse due to inner anxiety, stood up and walked under the eaves alone to relax.
She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her chest heaving violently, not understanding what was happening to her.
Even if the situation was extremely critical, she should have been worried about the risk of Tan You being exposed, but how could she be so anxious that she couldn't even control her emotions?
She considered herself to be someone who had seen many ups and downs, and had always been proud of her calm and self-controlled character. Now that she was so impatient, she felt like a waste.
Feelings of uneasiness, anxiety, and self-deprecation mixed together. Just as she was about to kneel on the ground, gasping for breath, a familiar voice rang out:
"what are you doing here?"
Jiang Huaizhu suddenly raised her head and saw Tan You standing in front of her.
At this moment, she was so excited that she lost all her strength and tears came out of her eyes. "It's great that you were not caught by them..."
Tan You frowned fiercely and scolded, "Why are you crying? Wipe your tears!"
If it were usual, Jiang Huaizhu would never quarrel with Tan You.
This girl was incredibly strong, and she was her superior, so she didn't dare to disobey her at all.
But this time, she was affected by the intense emotions in her heart and said without caring:
"I brought you to Prince Cheng's mansion. Everyone knows you're my maid! If anything happens to you, I won't be able to escape! The Imperial City Bureau has come to search the mansion. Do you know how anxious I was while waiting for you? Do you want to kill me?!"
Tan You was stunned by the yelling. Is this woman crazy? How dare she talk to her like that?
Her face turned cold, and she reached out and pinched her arm hard.
Just as Jiang Huaizhu was about to cry out in pain, Tan You covered her mouth.
Tan You leaned close to her ear and said in a cold voice:
"You are nothing more than a pawn in the hands of the Tianming Pavilion. You will be in whatever position Mr. Xuan wants you to be. Therefore, your only responsibility is to cooperate with me, your superior, and you have no right to question me!"
Jiang Huaizhu was almost suffocated by her. She tried her best to pry Tan You's hands apart, but couldn't move her at all.
Tan You looked at her painful expression, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and continued slowly:
"Don't forget, without the Tianming Pavilion, you would have died in the Imperial Prison long ago. Your current body, and even your life, are gifts from the Tianming Pavilion. If you fail to carry out the mission as required, we will take it back immediately."
There was deep fear in Jiang Huaizhu's eyes. She was afraid of death and also afraid of losing everything she had.
"Before I came here, I ordered you not to care where I went. You must stay with those noble ladies for a moment. If anyone asks me, just say that your maid had diarrhea and went to the toilet."
Tan You said gloomily:
"But you seem to be confused and almost ruined my plan! I'm only going to say this once, so listen carefully. When you return to them later and someone asks you where you were, just say that the flowers here are in full bloom, so I came over to take a look. Do you understand?"
After she finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming from a distance and immediately let go of Jiang Huaizhu.
Jiang Huaizhu coughed violently several times, and Tan You urged him impatiently, "Hurry up, put on your clothes, and get back home."
…
Jiang Xiancao walked into the garden and saw the noble ladies surrounding her and Chu Yusu standing beside her, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Chu Yusu, no, it should be Jiang Huaizhu, she was indeed wearing the jade bracelet she gave her.
In fact, Jiang Xiancao couldn't guess which piece of jewelry Jiang Huaizhu would choose, so she not only tampered with the jade bracelet.
Every piece of jewelry in there was made by her using secret methods. Others would just feel uncomfortable when wearing them, but as long as Jiang Huaizhu, a person with a special fate, wore them, his emotions would be constantly exaggerated, and he would gradually lose his sanity and become more and more paranoid and crazy.
Doesn’t Jiang Huaizhu like to pretend to be a considerate little white flower in front of others, driving others into a crazy shrew?
Then she would let Jiang Huaizhu experience what it felt like to be driven crazy.
The noble ladies were surprised that Princess Ruining actually brought back the Ninth Prince after her trip, and they were all a little surprised.
Finally, Sun Bijun took the lead and they bowed to Jiang Xiancao, "Your servant greets the Ninth Prince."
At this moment, Jiang Xiancao felt someone was spying on her.
She turned her head as if not paying attention and saw the little maid standing behind Jiang Huaizhu with her head lowered.
This maidservant didn't look very old, only fourteen at most, and her appearance was pretty and cute, but that was all.
She should have been an inconspicuous green leaf among the group of noble ladies, but Jiang Xiancao inexplicably felt that this maid had a strange temperament.
She couldn't put her finger on what it felt like, but this person made her feel uncomfortable.
Princess Ruining pulled Jiang Xiancao's sleeve and found a place for her to be out of the wind. Then she said, "Ninth Brother, please wait a moment. I'll ask the maid to find some medicine to stop the bleeding."
