The person who opened the lock seemed to have little patience and made the chain rattle.
The door was pushed open with a bang, hitting the wall and shaking up a cloud of dust.
Dust was flying in the sunlight, and a tall figure stood at the door.
"Oh, why is my poor good disciple here?"
The old man stood at the door and looked into the house. When he saw Jiang Yanning, he smiled, even with a hint of amusement.
When Jiang Yanning saw the person coming, his tense nerves relaxed.
Even though I was finally saved, I felt a little empty inside. I couldn't tell whether it was a sense of loss or something else.
"What? Are you unhappy to see me?"
The old man had his hands behind his back and had no intention of entering the house, probably because he was disgusted by the dirty and messy environment inside.
Jiang Yanning pulled the corners of his mouth, as if trying hard to force a smile, but failed.
"Master, how did you know I was here?"
He hadn't spoken for many days and his voice was a little hoarse.
Jiang Yanning walked out of the house, holding on to the wall.
Two women were lying at the gate of the yard, and it was not known whether they were dead or unconscious.
The old man took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and threw it to Jiang Yanning.
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know how long you would have been locked up!"
The old man stood far away, with undisguised disgust in his eyes, and even covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.
Jiang Yanning: “…”
Jiang Yanning took out two pills from the porcelain bottle and chewed them with some embarrassment.
He's become a bit smelly after being locked up here for so long.
After going out, Jiang Yanning discovered that the place where he was imprisoned was some distance away from the capital.
This is probably an abandoned farmyard.
There are not many people guarding outside.
All of them were solved by the old man with medicine.
Those people went to such great lengths to capture him, yet they only sent a few people to guard him...
-
On a street in Beijing.
Jiang Yanning changed his clothes and tidied himself up.
The old man took out a fan from somewhere and waved it slowly.
He stopped Jiang Yanning who was about to leave and asked, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Yanning suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said, "Go back."
"Hey, where are you going back to?" The old man laughed in an ambiguous tone. "The Princess's Mansion?"
"Um."
Where else can he go?
The old man stared at Jiang Yaning's face for a while before he stood up and patted Jiang Yaning on the shoulder.
"Do you want to find out the situation first?"
“…”
Jiang Yanning didn't respond, but the uneasiness in his heart grew heavier.
From the time he entered the city until now, he hadn't noticed any signs of the person he was looking for.
The princess is missing, but no one is looking for her.
This is so abnormal.
Besides, he has been missing for so many days. If he just goes back like this, I don’t know what people outside will say.
Will she believe in her innocence?
Seeing Jiang Yaning's worried and hesitant look, the old man took him to the teahouse and called a waiter over to question him.
Teahouses with a constant flow of people are always the most up-to-date on news, and of course the waiters know everything.
"The princess? She went up the mountain to pray and got injured. Your Highness went to pick her up personally!"
"I heard the injury was pretty serious."
The city is so small, gossip spreads quickly.
"Your Highness, whenever you have time recently, please stay with me in the mansion."
I don’t know where this news came from, but the waiter spoke very seriously.
"Many men in the capital are envious of her... they wish they could offer themselves to her."
Jiang Yanning couldn't believe what he heard, "Is the princess in the mansion?"
How could he be in the mansion when he is here?
But judging from the waiter's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
The waiter looked at Jiang Yaning strangely. Jiang Yaning was wearing a veil, so she couldn't see her appearance clearly.
"The princess is not in the princess's residence, where else could she be?"
The waiter said a few more words, but Jiang Yanning didn't hear any of them.
A lot of things happened during the days he was detained.
The princess was in danger and the servant beside her was killed. She was very angry and ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
As a result, before anyone was found out, they heard that there was a spy in the mansion.
Someone wants to poison the princess.
The last two things were investigated together and the result was that the Fourth Princess was responsible.
This matter was brought to the attention of the Emperor.
The fourth princess ordered someone to poison her, and there is evidence from both witnesses and objects. She has now been locked up.
Jiang Yanning didn’t know whether the person behind the scenes was the Fourth Princess. He was more concerned about whether there was really another princess in the mansion.
Jiang Yanning clenched his hands, as if his heart was being tightly grasped.
He clearly didn't go back, so why did Mo Qin spread this news?
Is she afraid that the princess' disappearance will bring her a scandal?
That’s right, the princess has been missing for so long, if others knew about it.
The Four Princesses Were Captured...
She also took this opportunity to deal with the Four Princesses.
Jiang Yanning felt dizzy and his thoughts were in a mess.
He seemed unable to think.
The old man's eyes darkened, and he waved his hand in front of Jiang Yanning, "Do you still want to go back?"
I don't know when the waiter went out.
"Master..." Jiang Yan came back to his senses, "The Princess's Mansion really has..."
Jiang Yanning didn’t know how good the old man’s martial arts were, but he could come and go freely in the Jiang Mansion.
"I can't enter the Princess's Mansion." The old man knew what Jiang Yanning wanted to ask, "But that day, they did bring someone back."
Not only that, the imperial physician from the palace also visited the princess's residence.
And more than once.
The princess is not yet able to cover the sky with one hand.
He speculated that there was indeed such a person in the Princess's Mansion.
