Chapter 184: The Governor wants to raise a man-eating plant?
Canglang looked at his own governor who was full of leniency and teasing like a child, and couldn't help but look at him twice more out of curiosity, and then he got a cold look in his eyes.
After leaving with Jinyun, Canglang could still see Xiao Yan leaning against a table and chattering casually when he turned his head, while Song Tangning responded from time to time. When there was a break, Xiao Yan would pick up chopsticks and add more dishes for her.
Question and answer, if you can't hear what is said, it can still feel quite nice, but if you can hear clearly what your own governor says, I am afraid your jaw will drop.
Canglang bumped into Jinyun and asked, "Master, are you planning to raise a man-eating plant?"
Look at what is being taught.
Digging a trap and setting a trap will only lead to failure.
Cang Lang could almost see the originally pure white crabapple blossoms dyed dark, and couldn't help muttering, "The Governor is cunning enough himself, even going to great lengths to raise a little fox. If this girl learns all these tricks, the Governor won't be afraid of not being able to subdue her."
Jinyun glanced at him and said, "You can speak louder."
Canglang quickly shrank his head and shut up.
Jinyun glanced back at the room and said calmly, "The Governor has never intended to keep this girl as a vassal, and she is not someone who can be confined to the backyard. If she wants to venture out, she must learn how to protect herself."
A treasure that is too simple, if no one takes good care of it, will be reduced to ashes when it falls into the hands of others.
Canglang rolled his eyes: "You are the only one who knows how to flatter."
Not only did he take pictures of his master, but even his future mistress got ahead of him.
Jinyun didn't bother to pay attention to his mumbling. He just glanced at the night outside and lowered his voice, "The situation with the Empress Dowager is very bad. Lu Zhao has been imprisoned. I'm afraid the Governor will speed up his actions. We previously investigated Prince Cheng and the aristocratic families and found some unclear information. If the Governor and the girl take action tonight, it will probably be a big move. Be vigilant."
"You tell me."
Canglang curled his lips upon hearing this, touched the White Phosphorus Jade Peak Sword hanging on his waist, took it off and held it in his arms in a somewhat showy manner, stroking the sword blade gently: "My sword has long wanted to be stained with blood."
“…”
The serious atmosphere just now collapsed in an instant, and the veins on Jinyun's forehead popped.
Oh shit.
Sick in the brain!!
"Hey, where are you going?" Seeing Jinyun turn around and leave, Canglang asked hurriedly.
Jinyun had a blank expression on his face. He had to stay away from him, otherwise he was afraid he would not be able to control himself and beat him to death!
…
At Prince Cheng's mansion, after Ayane passed the news back, she stayed in the corridor outside the door to guard Princess Cheng.
Princess Cheng was unable to calm down because of the sudden "truth". After finally getting a short rest, she was awakened by a nightmare.
Seeing Nanny Jiang hurried forward, supporting the somewhat uncomfortable Princess Cheng and asking questions with concern, she hurriedly poured water for her and helped someone to help her calm down.
Ayane tilted her head slightly and kept her eyes fixed on Nanny Jiang, as if she wanted to see through her. She didn't look up until someone came over in the yard.
That person was the secret guard from the Governor's Mansion who came with her.
"The master has sent a message."
The girl dressed as a maid stood beside Ayane and whispered a few words. Ayane raised an eyebrow and said, "Alerting the enemy?"
"The Governor said we can make a bigger noise."
Hearing this, Ayane glanced towards the inner room and whispered, "I see."
After the maid stepped aside, Ayane walked straight into the house. When she reached Princess Cheng and the other woman, she lowered her voice and said, "Princess, the young lady and the governor sent a message saying that they found something."
Princess Cheng was about to send Nanny Jiang out when she heard Lingyin say:
"The people sent by the Governor have found another family that was once engaged to Prince Cheng. They are the family that eloped with the opera singer and then hanged herself. They learned from the brother of that woman that she did not commit suicide, but was murdered..."
Clang——
Before Princess Cheng could react, there was a loud noise beside her. It turned out that Nanny Jiang, who was putting things away, kicked the leg of the table, and the cup in her hand fell onto the table.
The two people in the room looked over, and Nanny Jiang hurriedly explained, "This old servant was frightened."
When she stood up by supporting herself on the table, her hands were shaking a little, and her knuckles were pale from the effort. She pretended to put the cups on the table in order, and when she looked up, her face had calmed down a little, but there was still a trace of astonishment.
"Master Xiao and the others have really investigated thoroughly. Could there be something wrong with what has been going on for so long?"
"Once it's done, no matter how long it's been, there will be traces left."
Ling Yin seemed not to notice that Nanny Jiang's face had suddenly turned pale at these words, and she continued, "The third family that discussed marriage with Prince Cheng was the Wei Yuchi family of the Sikong Mansion at that time."
"The elder brother of the Yuchi family said that when they found his sister, she had already died by hanging from the beam. However, the actor was still breathing and was rescued. He told the story of the two of them committing suicide for love before hitting his head against the pillar and dying. Prince Cheng was there at the time, and that confirmed the Yuchi girl's elopement."
"But the Yuchi family said that their daughter had known Prince Cheng since she was still a girl, and before the two families wanted to discuss the marriage, the Yuchi family first asked the daughter's opinion. She personally agreed and expressed her affection for Prince Cheng, so the Yuchi family agreed to the marriage and instructed Prince Cheng to come and propose."
How could a girl who had personally agreed to the marriage and was deeply in love with her future husband elope with an actor before getting engaged and even commit suicide for love?
Princess Cheng naturally understood what Ayane meant. Her face turned pale and she staggered and fell into the chair.
Ayane quickly supported her: "Princess!"
Princess Cheng said hoarsely, "What else?"
Ayane hesitated.
"You said I can handle it." Princess Cheng looked at her.
Ayane then spoke, "Your acquaintance with Prince Cheng back then was no accident. That chance encounter was premeditated. He had already secretly investigated you. And that heroic rescue of the beauty later wasn't a coincidence. He knew something bad would happen to you."
"As for the matter between you and Mr. Gu, I'm afraid someone is interfering..."
Ayane only said a few words, and out of the corner of her eye she saw panic in Nanny Jiang's eyes. She had a plan in mind, and said no more. Princess Cheng's face became paler and paler. Fearing that something really might happen to her in her anger, she quickly avoided Nanny Jiang by trying to support her, and pinched Princess Cheng's sleeve. The pinch was so big that Princess Cheng couldn't help but feel it.
"Princess, Princess, are you okay? What happened to you? Please don't scare me..."
Princess Cheng looked up with red eyes, and saw Ayane blocking the people behind her. She looked very calm as she pinched her wrist and said something to her silently.
"Fainted."
Princess Cheng was stunned for only a moment before she reacted, closed her eyes and fell directly into Ayane's arms.
"princess!"
Ayane seemed to be in a panic, and Nanny Jiang standing behind her also had a changed expression: "Princess!!"
