Jiang Yi's arrival and declaration of ownership made the originally subtle situation suddenly clear, but also more subtle.
However, Jiang Yi still came here under the pretext of handling official business. After finishing the work, he and Shao Jingyu would escort Nangong Xuan, and "escort" Yan Yiming and Jian Yuyan back to Beijing. For a while, only Jian Yuyan and Yan Yiming, two idle people, were left in the mansion.
Jian Yuyan heard from the maidservant that Princess Lin'an usually stayed in the house because she was injured. Only in the evening when Jiang Yi came back would she have dinner with him, and sometimes they would go out for a walk together.
Jian Yuyan thought carefully about the relationship between Princess Lin'an and Jiang Yi, but he couldn't figure it out.
In the previous conversation with Yan Yiming, Jian Yuyan sorted out a lot of things. For example, Princess Lin'an and A Ming had known each other for a long time, and maybe A Ming had helped A Ming, so A Ming wrote a letter to help Princess Lin'an, so he should be grateful to Princess Lin'an; for example, Princess Lin'an was not actually in the same mind as King Jiangxia, she was the biggest undercover under King Jiangxia, she used A Ming to force him to tell Jiang Yi the secret of Prime Minister Jian, and finally overthrew Prime Minister Jian.
Following this line of thought, Jian Yuyan slowly convinced himself, but now seeing Jiang Yi and Princess Lin'an being so close, everything seemed to be starting to make no sense again.
Since the two of them had known each other for a long time and had such a close relationship, why didn't Princess Lin'an tell Jiang Yijian all of Prime Minister's plans in person, but instead used him to achieve her goals? Why did she go to such lengths?
Jian Yuyan had inquired and found out that Princess Lin'an had never seen Jiang Yi before she came to the capital. So he wondered when the two of them met.
According to the Crown Prince, Princess Lin'an tried her best to protect Jiang Yi because of his instructions. She was willing to sacrifice her own life and even betray her family just to fulfill Jiang Yi's expectations. What did Jiang Yi do to make her so devoted to him?
He couldn't help but think of what Princess Lin'an had once said to him. She said that there were too many things in this world that were more important than love. How could she give up everything for Jiang Yi when she could say such a thing?
What's more, he had met Princess Lin'an before. This woman seemed to be smiling warmly but actually looked more like a cold-blooded bystander.
So rather than thinking that he had misjudged the person, he felt that the relationship between Princess Lin'an and Jiang Yi was not as simple as they saw.
The prince had a long talk with him after all the truth was revealed, and the two seemed to have returned to the time when they first studied and played together. The day after Jiang Yi arrived, the prince suddenly mentioned Princess Lin'an when they were chatting casually. Jian Yuyan discovered from the prince's words that even if the prince was unwilling to admit it, his efforts to save her clearly moved him.
Unfortunately, the prince didn't notice it before, and only understood it after Jiang Yi appeared.
Jian Yuyan wanted to tell the prince that maybe everything was not as he imagined, but he changed his mind and gave up the idea.
If Princess Lin'an was truly devoted to Jiang Yi, she would definitely not marry the Crown Prince. If she and Jiang Yi had other plans, then such a scheming woman was not suitable for the Crown Prince.
What's more, even if Princess Lin'an saved the prince, she is still the daughter of King Jiangxia. It is a great kindness for Your Majesty to spare her life. He will never put such a dangerous person next to the prince.
After some thought, Jian Yuyan lowered his eyelashes and sighed, "I heard that it was Lord Jiang who went to Hangzhou to welcome the princess to the capital. Maybe that was when the opportunity arose."
Nangong Xuan waved his hand and said no.
Because Lin'an clearly expressed his affection for him after coming to Beijing.
If there hadn't been such a cold rejection then...
Jian Yuyan looked at the expression on Nangong Xuan's face and said calmly, "If the Crown Princess knew that His Highness had finally let it go, she would rest in peace in her grave."
A piercing irony suddenly woke Nangong Xuan up. The scene of Ah Ming standing in front of him on the wedding night suddenly appeared in front of him, and the overwhelming sense of guilt overwhelmed Nangong Xuan in an instant.
Nangong Xuan suddenly closed his eyes, and after a long while he said weakly, "I am confused."
After Ah Ming's death, he swore that no one would ever take her place, but now, only a few years later, he has become obsessed with her.
The two of them suddenly fell silent. After a while, Nangong Xuan suddenly said to Jian Yuyan, "Everyone said that you fell to this point because of an actor, but I think it is rare that you are so loyal."
Because he had deep feelings for the deceased Crown Princess, Nangong Xuan admired people who valued love, such as Jian Yuyan and later Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi rejected countless excellent marriage proposals for the sake of his deceased wife. He did not marry or take a concubine for eight years, which was even more rare and precious than his relationship with Jian Yuyan.
But he didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of Princess Lin'an.
Nangong Xuan wanted to mock her, but then he sighed. It was too easy for a woman like Lin An to be attracted to her, not to mention that she was so devoted to Jiang Yi.
After leaving, Nangong Xuan walked to Yan Yiming's courtyard intentionally or unintentionally. Coincidentally, he met Yan Yiming who came out for some fresh air. Nangong Xuan's face looked a little bad when he thought of what he had just said to Jian Yuyan. However, Yan Yiming greeted him very naturally.
It was clear that he didn't want to get involved anymore, but when he saw her, Nangong Xuan couldn't help but ask her, could she really sacrifice her life and betray her family for Jiang Yi?
Yan Yiming was happy to push all the inexplicable reasons onto Jiang Yi. Moreover, Jiang Yi was not around at the moment, so Yan Yiming admitted it very readily with a thick face.
Nangong Xuan felt even more uncomfortable, and his tone was inevitably a little sharp, "You know that Jiang Yi has not remarried for many years because of his deceased wife. No matter how much you give, it can't compare to his deceased wife."
Yan Yiming blinked and said sincerely, "It is because he is so affectionate that I like him even more. As long as I can stay by his side, I don't care about anything else."
Nangong Xuan looked at her, and in his anger he didn't even notice that this Yan Yiming was completely different from the Yan Yiming he had been with some time ago. Yan Yiming looked at Nangong Xuan's back as she left with her sleeves swung, and was happy for a long time before limping back to the courtyard.
When Jiang Yi came back, the spy hidden in the dark conveyed Yan Yiming's words to him in a serious manner. Even though he knew that Yan Yiming was deliberately trying to anger the prince, he was still in a good mood after hearing this exaggerated "love".
After finishing this matter, the spy told Jiang Yi that there were spies everywhere around Princess Lin'an's residence and even around Princess Lin'an.
There is not only the prince, Jian Yuyan, but also Shao Jingyu.
What surprised him the most was that the maid who was hiding beside Yan Yiming and serving Yan Yiming personally was not sent by the prince as he expected, but was Shao Jingyu's person.
Shao Jingyu and Princess Lin'an had never met each other before, but after all, Princess Lin'an was the daughter of King Jiangxia. If he was worried, he could just arrest her directly. If he had to take a step back for the sake of the prince, he should send someone to guard her strictly.
Now he has sent a maid to serve her attentively.
This puzzled Jiang Yi and made him suspicious.
Jiang Yi did not alert the enemy. He continued as usual, only ordering people to keep a close eye on the whereabouts of the maid who served Yan Yiming, and also ordered people to secretly investigate Shao Jingyu's recent movements. After a few days, he actually found some clues.
The maidservant beside Yan Yiming would probably go to see Shao Jingyu every day. The time happened to be after Jiang Yi went to see Yan Yiming. Jiang Yi had bad intentions and that night he deliberately played with A Ming and "accidentally" knocked over the stool beside the bed. Yan Yiming screamed but was pressed under him and had his earlobe bitten.
When the girl rushed in, she saw him and Yan Yiming "making a fuss" on the bed. She immediately blushed and ran out. It was said that the prince was very angry that day, and one of the bookshelves in Shao Jingyu's room was broken.
Jiang Yi heard from the secret guards that Shao Jingyu had been investigating Princess Lin'an's past recently, and even sent someone to find a very prestigious Yin-Yang master.
Jiang Yi tapped the table with his fingers and ordered someone to check on someone.
The female general who was famous in the court and the country four years ago, Yiyong Hou.
Compared to Shao Jingyu's investigation into the past of Princess Lin'an, the female general was much simpler. She didn't even need to go all the way to the capital. She could just ask the Dingbei Army who had fought side by side with Shao Jingyu and Marquis Yiyong to find out the details.
When talking about the famous female general, some of her former comrades still speak excitedly of her. For example, they thought she was skinny and small like a rabbit at the beginning, but she fought harder than men. Another example is that the female general's name was not the later one. Her original name was actually easier to remember because it was the same name as the crown princess of the crown prince.
Jiang Yi repeated the words "having the same name as the Crown Princess" several times, thinking of Shao Jingyu's attention and Yan Yiming's martial arts skills, and finally wrote down three words on the paper.
Yan Yiming.
After that day, Jiang Yi found an opportunity to "accidentally" meet Yun Xiao, who had followed Shao Jingyu for many years. Yun Xiao is now a fifth-rank general, but he is still the same talkative and cheerful person.
Jiang Yi had been in the officialdom for so many years, and there was always someone he could make friends with as long as he wanted to, not to mention Yun Xiao, who had a very simple mind. He started chatting with Yun Xiao in just a few words.
Yun Xiao was surprised that among the civil officials who now looked down on military men, there were still important officials who admired military men so much. After several exchanges, he had developed some respect for Jiang Yi. In the cool autumn wind, Jiang Yi casually told Yun Xiao that he was very interested in the famous female general, but General Shao seemed reluctant to mention it, and wondered if General Yun could tell him.
Over the years, many people have asked Yun Xiao about Marquis Yiyong. When they first arrived in the northwest, many new recruits were curious about the "Mulan". However, now facing Lord Jiang, the most respected person in the court, Yun Xiao put away his usual boastful tone and became serious.
Yun Xiao praised Yan Yiming's Kung Fu over and over again, saying that she was not at all confused when facing thousands of troops, and that she was clearly born in a poor family, but was well-read and good at calligraphy and painting, and had read countless military books. She was many times more powerful than the so-called famous ladies in the capital.
"Women are indeed as good as men," Jiang Yi praised sincerely. Yun Xiao nodded in agreement, not noticing the waves in Jiang Yi's eyes.
When Jiang Yi came again that night, Yan Yiming invited him to sit aside and have dinner together as usual. The maid stood aside and diligently arranged the dishes. Jiang Yi twisted the soup spoon with two fingers and shook the ginseng soup in the bowl, without even raising his eyelids, he ordered the maid to leave.
The maid walked out of the room, looking back three times. Jiang Yi put down the soup spoon, and the spoon made a crisp clash sound when it touched the soup bowl. He raised his head and looked at Yan Yiming and said with a smile, "Guess whether the girl is hiding by the window or outside the door now."
Little Apple reminded positively, "It's outside the door."
Yan Yiming smiled and said, "Probably outside the door."
"I think so too," Jiang Yi drank a mouthful of ginseng soup, then put down the spoon, propped up his chin with one hand and looked at Yan Yiming, and said very casually, "But I thought this girl was sent by the prince, but I found out recently that she is not the prince's person."
Yan Yiming hid the hesitation in his eyes and said calmly, "If it's not the prince, then who is it?"
"I find it interesting too," Jiang Yi said with a smile, "It turned out to be General Shao."
Yan Yiming's heart trembled slightly, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy, but he tried to remain calm, "General Shao? How could it be him?"
"Maybe," Jiang Yi raised his head when he said this, his deep eyes fixed on Yan Yiming's eyes, he gently lifted Yan Yiming's cheek with his fingers, and stroked the red mole at the corner of her eye with his thumb,
"Perhaps, the female general who made General Shao willing to leave the capital and live in the northwest also had a red mole in the corner of her eye." Jiang Yi smiled so gently, "A Ming, do you think it makes sense?"
