A month has passed in the blink of an eye. The cold winter has completely left, and the breath of spring is spreading across the earth with the impending arrival of May.
The grass and trees are green, the flowers are in full bloom, and a warm atmosphere suddenly envelops the air. People can take off their cotton clothes without any worries and put on their graceful spring dresses.
Jiang Ling and Zhou Jing'an lived a peaceful and happy life. Wanran was still detoxifying at Yunwu Peak. It would take another six or seven days to completely eliminate the poison. Doctor He was also very pleased.
Zhou Ning'an was peacefully taking care of her pregnancy in the palace. The baby in her belly was more than five months old. Her belly was bulging like a ball, and the fetus was stable. Feng Yu and Hua Xu accompanied her for a walk every day.
Zhou Huanan successfully broke into Jiang Ling's small group. Cheng An, Wu Wanying, Jiang Fei, and Jiang Ling made a total of five golden flowers. Sometimes they came out together to try the new dishes of Xinyue Tower, and sometimes they went for a walk in the suburbs to relax.
The Empress Dowager's illness did not improve and continued to drag on. Feng Yu also sent more people to various states and counties to look for famous doctors. Fang Juexia was undoubtedly the first person to be searched for, but so far nothing has been found.
Although the Queen Mother was ill, she didn't want to see Su Wantang crying beside her all day, so she asked her to find a lady she could talk to, and Jiang Ling became the first choice.
So sometimes when the five golden flowers go out to play, they also bring a delicate little jasmine with them.
Fortunately, although Su Wantang looked very delicate, she had a cheerful personality. Girls of the same age always had something to talk about with her, and they gradually felt that this ill-fated princess seemed to be a very strong and positive woman, a delicate flower on the outside, but a rock pine on the inside.
The new year's scientific examination is about to begin. Ye Xuan and Meng Junyao will both take the exam this year. Before the two parties are involved, the whole family has started to get busy.
After all, the imperial examination is a top priority. Both the Ye family and the Meng family are scholarly families, so naturally their descendants cannot be bad either.
After Jiang Ling got married, she sent a lot of things to her two cousins on behalf of the Zhou family, and also added some more thoughtful items as a cousin.
In the returned letters, both cousins were very happy. Jiang Ling also asked about Xingxing's situation, but got the same result as before. She couldn't help but worry, and tried to ask Xiaojia and others to send people to some places where there were many people to inquire about Fang Juexia's whereabouts, hoping to get good news soon.
After Jiang Ling married into the Zhou family, the Jiang and Zhou families were tied together. The status of the two families rose rapidly. With both civil and military talents, they joined forces and had more say in the court.
In addition to the fact that the two families were more respected and admired by their colleagues in the court, Jiang Ling also felt something different.
When she walked with Jiang Lan and Xia Zhixian, those young ladies were very polite to her and praised her openly and secretly.
She thought that some ignorant minions would come over, but she was so famous now that she scared those people away just by standing there.
She was happy and comfortable, feeling like she had a sword of justice on her head. It was also very easy for her to attend gatherings among young ladies. After all, there were so many people praising her, and no matter what she said, there would be someone to respond.
Life was so easy and comfortable that Jiang Ling couldn't help but sigh: "No one is picking on me, and no one wants to kill me. This life is too comfortable."
Zhou Jing'an, who was standing by, paused when he heard this, and the pastry he was about to hand over almost fell on the table.
A group of assassins were just dealt with last night, and Xiao Bing was injured. He even made up an excuse to send Xiao Bing to track down Fang Juexia in order to hide it from Jiang Ling and prevent her from being scared or worried.
Now that she suddenly said this, Zhou Jing'an felt a little guilty.
He handed over the steamed cheese. "Isn't it good to live comfortably? If Ling'er is not comfortable one day, it will be my fault."
This was bought at Qinxiangju. Jiang Ling likes the sugar-steamed yogurt there the most.
Jiang Ling took a bite and her mouth was filled with sweetness and fragrance.
"It's fine, but it's strange that they haven't made any movement."
They both knew exactly who "they" were.
Zhou Jing'an pursed his lips, picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide his panic.
After Jiang Ling married him, she did live a leisurely life, but Zhou Jing'an, Jiang Lianshan and Jiang Yi were not at all leisurely.
In fact, before the two got married, Jiang Lianshan had a private chat with Zhou Jing'an. In addition to asking him to take good care of Jiang Ling, he also discussed the deployment with him.
After Meng Wanjie visited Master Puhui, the two had already started preparing. Now they have become a couple, and those preparations have not been in vain.
Zhou Jing'an finally had a soft spot, which undoubtedly made them extremely excited.
In order to restrain Zhou Jing'an, and even to restrain the Jiang and Zhou families, and more importantly to avenge the failure of the previous plan, they have worked very hard over the past month.
But since he has decided to marry Jiang Ling and promised to protect her, how could Zhou Jing'an let them succeed so easily?
However, their several assassination attempts also allowed Zhou Jing'an to glimpse some clues.
For example, they have a large number of people, all of whom have been trained uniformly by people with high martial arts skills. For example, their martial arts moves have traces of both Da Gan and Nanzhao. This was confirmed in previous investigations and over the past month.
In addition, Zhou Jing'an can now confirm that his guess at the time was correct.
The man named Chi Yu was the person he was thinking of - Prince Zhao Pei Yu.
Zhou Jing'an was very familiar with Pei Yu's martial arts moves.
In other words, they are both very familiar with each other.
Among the group of assassins yesterday, the man in black who injured Xiao Bing and escaped had some of Pei Yu's moves. Maybe he was a guard taught by him.
Zhou Jing'an continued his investigation using the information he had found, and believed that he would soon get more useful clues.
But Jiang Ling doesn't need to know these things.
This is also what Jiang Lianshan and Jiang Yi meant.
She just needs to be happy and leisurely, and she doesn't need to know or worry about the rest of the dark side.
Zhou Jing'an poured her a cup of warm tea and asked her with a smile what she wanted to eat for dinner. Jiang Ling was thinking with her face supported when Ye Song walked in quickly, with anxiety and joy on his face, indicating Zhou Jing'an's intention.
"Just say it here if you have something to say." Since it was a good thing, there was nothing Ling'er couldn't hear.
Just as Ye Song was about to report, Ye Bai hurried in again, also with a look of surprise on his face.
"Sir, we have tracked them down," said Ye Song.
"Our people sent back news that Fang Juexia has been found." Ye Bai bowed.
Zhou Jing'an raised his eyebrows slightly. It was indeed good news, and two of them.
He asked in a deep voice, "Where is it?"
Ye Song and Ye Bai said almost at the same time: "Suzhou!"
