Chapter 279 Marriage (2)
Jiang Ruan looked at her with a smile, her skirt was slightly raised by the breeze, but her eyes were as bright as a spring, and there were other things in her arms. She felt that the coolness was like the winter wind, whirling across her heart, leaving a piece of ice there, covering her body without a trace of heat.
Xuan Lang spoke with difficulty: "The princess... is he unwilling to get married to his eighth brother?"
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "What are you talking about?"
Xuan Lang was stunned.
Tianzhu did not move, Dewzhu looked serious, Jiang Ruan looked at him lightly. She knew that every word today would eventually reach that person's ears. He personally directed such a good show for her to show, and she might as well let him not get out of the stage.
Who can't calculate?
"My elder brother is fighting bravely on the front line. How can I be willing to get married in the capital? Even if I get married, I will definitely be a dignified man. This Dajin Dynasty is not something that I want my daughter's family to protect. How can your eighth brother not know about a path I know? Then, even if you ask Your Majesty to send troops to help and protect the people of Dajin Dynasty, you will not be able to say such words easily. How can I guarantee that I will give him my life? Will those who do not even have the courage to protect the country, even I can't protect me one day?"
"I want to marry a man, not a soft boy." Jiang Ruan smiled.
Xuan Lang was speechless, but the cold sweat on his forehead became more and more. Today's words reached Xuan Li's ears. How could Xuan Li not be angry? In the end, the anger was vented on him, wouldn't it be anger?
"The princess's words are really serious." Xuan Lang said: "The eighth brother is also helpless."
"The relationship between the Fourth and the Eighth Highness has also improved a little." She said lightly: "Go back and tell your master that the delusional thing is called daydream!"
The good conversation ended in an unhappy way. When Xuan Lang left, his face turned pale, as if he could not bear Jiang Ruan's gaze. Even when he left, he had a bit of a sign of running away.
When he arrived at the mansion, as expected, although he did not lose his composure on his face, the smile on the corner of his mouth became stiffer. After a long time, the man on the seat slowly picked up a cup of tea in front of him, opened the lid and took a sip, his expression was as cold as a river: "Miyamoto wants to be merciful. Since he is so ungrateful, there is no need to hesitate anymore." A cruel sneer passed through his eyes: "Closing the net."
This night in the capital was no different from the past. In early autumn, the sky was always dark earlier. In the dark and colorful night, the Jinying Palace was brightly lit. Xiao Shao sat in a high position, and his face was rarely seen with a bit of coldness.
Ye Feng and Jin Yi Jin Si were both standing on both sides. Xiao Shao put the letter in his hand into the flame as usual and burned it. The flames jumped, reflecting his dark eyes like a high-quality black gem.
"Qi Si's news is not wrong." He said indifferently: "Xuan Li has taken action."
"The Eighth Prince is too brave. This transaction is so dangerous, and he is not afraid of attracting wolves into the house." Jin Si couldn't help but speak, with a little contempt in his eyes. As the son of the Jin Dynasty emperor, he did such a thing that was worse than pigs and dogs. He treated the lives of tens of thousands of people in the border like a joke, but just to satisfy his ambitions and selfish desires. Such people are despised everywhere they go.
"The news will reach the court tomorrow morning." Xiao Shao did not answer Jin Si's words and reached out to knock on the table: "This matter is of great importance. It is really the same as Qi Si said. Boss Guan is also in danger."
"General Guan?" Jin frowned: "Master, do you want to remind Mr. Mo that the Eighth Prince may be in danger of doing this."
"You go to Mo Cong's mansion to go." Xiao Shao stood up and picked up the outer skirt with the bench: "I'll go to the palace first."
When she woke up the next morning, Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi served Jiang Ruan to get up. As the weather gradually became cold, Bai Zhi picked a long robe for Jiang Ruan, and then she felt relieved. After breakfast, because the weather was comfortable and comfortable in the yard, Lian Qiao moved the chair to the yard as usual. Jiang Ruan sat in the yard and flirted with books. Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao took advantage of the weather to spread the old books in the book box to dry.
It was the most normal behavior on weekdays, but today it was a little strange. The eyes of several palace maids who were cleaning up in the yard looked at Jiang Ruan, but the eyes of the princess palace were a little different from those on weekdays. On weekdays, the servants of the princess's palace were given by Empress Dowager Yide, which was a rule. Today, these palace maids looked at Jiang Ruan with some gaze and thought. The palace maids were not clever. Jiang Ruan noticed that they did not make any noise and continued their own affairs without silence.
Jiang Ruan was calm, but Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao also felt something strange. Just as they were about to find a palace maid to ask, they saw Luzhu rushing over with an anxious look on her face. She looked very nervous and came to Jiang Ruan and said, "Girl, I have something to report."
Bai Zhi understood and waved her hand to send a few palace maids watching the fun in the yard, and helped Jiang Ruan back to the house. After closing the door, before Jiang Ruan asked, Luzhu said, "Girl, news came from the front, confronting Tianjin State. Jinchao's army was ambushed, and the 100,000 soldiers were wiped out, and less than 30,000 people left to support him. General Guan was seriously injured, the eldest young master..." She looked at Jiang Ruan worriedly: "The whereabouts of the eldest young master are unknown, and he may have been captured by Tianjin State."
Jiang Ruan's hands couldn't help but tighten, and Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao also changed their expressions.
It is unknown what the outcome of returning to the court will be. I am afraid the emperor will be furious at this moment. The whereabouts of the battlefield are unknown. Either they are already in danger or are captured by the enemy. Turning back will be just two outcomes. If they surrender, the whole family will be implicated and will be dealt with by all spies who are supposed to be the enemy country. With Jiang Xinzhi's temperament, he will never surrender, and then the ending will be torture and death.
Since the news was passed back to the court, it must be 80% true. Unknown speculations came true. Jiang Ruan's face was as deep as water, holding the armrest of the chair tightly with one hand, and her lips were slightly white.
"Girl," Luzhu held Jiang Ruan's hand and felt a little unbearable. Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi depended on each other for life. Everyone around them was obvious to everyone. If there is anything else in this world that can touch Jiang Ruan's thoughts, Jiang Xinzhi is the first one. Now Jiang Xinzhi's life and death are uncertain, and the ending is so confusing. Jiang Ruan didn't shed a single tear. She said, "If you want to cry, just cry. What's in your heart is your own."
Jiang Ruan lowered her eyes and slowly pulled out her hand. She had cried too many times in her previous life, but in the end she ended up with a tragic ending. She had not revenge in this life, so what qualifications are there to cry?
She slowly raised a smile, her smile was thrilling and cruel, as if the evil flower bloomed from hell. In an instant, the bones came with gloomy revenge: "Since that's the case, there is no need to wait any longer."
