Chapter 115 Clues
Chapter 115 Clues
With Xiao Jinrui's hospitality, Bei Yize and his group stayed in the Rui Palace. Bei Yize thought he had hidden himself well, but he didn't know that Xiao Jingchuan had already found some clues about him.
Looking at the mark that belonged only to Beilin Country, Xiao Jingchuan could not help but frown. It was the time to receive the Crown Prince of Nanmo Country. He did not know how Beilin Country got involved. The two countries were in a tense moment. Beilin Country came to Kyoto now, and its purpose was self-evident.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingchuan's eyes turned slightly. Since the distant guest had come from thousands of miles away, he naturally had to show his hospitality. He just didn't know who was coming this time, but no matter who it was, he couldn't take it lightly.
Xiao Jingchuan looked at Yun Chi and said, "From today on, strengthen the inspections at the city gates. In addition, secretly search for the location of Beilin Kingdom in Kyoto. Remember not to alert the enemy. I want to know who dares to provoke trouble between the two countries at this critical juncture.
"Yes, Master, rest assured, I will do it right away and will definitely not give Beilin Dog a chance to breathe.
You must know that everyone in Prince Jing's residence hates Beilin Kingdom to the core. When the two countries were at war, Beilin Kingdom deliberately provoked the incident, and many innocent people in Dongli Kingdom died under their cavalry. Now they dared to enter Kyoto alone, so he would make them pay the price.
Yifeng watched Yun Chi leave, and couldn't help but feel impatient. He looked at Xiao Jingchuan and said, "Master, the Beilin people have now sneaked into Kyoto. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why don't I lend a hand to Yun Chi? This time, we must wipe out the Beilin Kingdom's base in Kyoto!"
They had suffered losses at the hands of these people in the past, and now that they were able to follow the clues and find them, they would naturally not let go of this good opportunity.
"Not for now. Wait until Yun Chi finds their base. Then it won't be too late to find them. I want to see how many termites are involved."
Xiao Jingchuan spoke calmly. Although he was not afraid of Beilin Country's evil schemes, it would be a good start if he could catch all the spies hiding in Kyoto.
"Yes!" Yifeng nodded in agreement.
Xiao Jingchuan tapped the table lightly, his mind full of thoughts. No matter whether it was the Nanmo Kingdom or the Beilin Kingdom, there would definitely be a tough battle to fight. However, Dongli was now facing internal and external troubles, so naturally it was impossible to confront them head-on. For now, he could only retreat and recuperate, and make plans when the time was right.
In the following days, Xiao Jingchuan also started to get busy, and Jiang Shuyu was naturally not idle either. Since she knew that Jiang Wanrong was under house arrest by Jiang Hongtai, Jiang Shuyu would naturally not let her act so rampant.
As the saying goes, "When you are ill, you will be killed." Since Jiang Wanrong is so conceited and thinks that being granted marriage to His Royal Highness Prince Rui will make everything fine and that she only needs to wait to become the Princess of Rui, then she naturally has to present her own great gift.
You know, reciprocity is the key. She keeps causing trouble for me. If I don't teach her a lesson, I'm afraid she won't learn her lesson!
Watching Yu Lan chattering about Jiang Wanrong's situation, Jiang Shuyu's eyes flashed with a smile. She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Feeling the fragrance of the tea spreading in her mouth, Jiang Shuyu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yu Qiu and said:
"This tea is great. I'll send some to the young master later. He hasn't been seen for a while, so he must be very busy!"
Ever since they moved out of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the servants had tacitly called Jiang Yanzhou the eldest young master and Jiang Yanxu the second young master. This was much more convenient, so when Jiang Shuyu said this, Yuqiu quickly agreed.
"Don't worry, young lady. I'll have someone deliver it to the young master in a moment. This summer has been hot and rainy, which is good for the growth of green tea. The tea we just delivered is emerald green, soft, fresh, and fragrant. It's just what the young master likes!"
Seeing that Yuqiu and Yuqiu were talking happily and not listening to her, Yulan hurried forward and said:
"Miss, did you hear what I said? The second young lady is so blatantly framing you and making up all these nonsense outside. It's really hateful. If she really marries Prince Rui and becomes his concubine, then the second young lady will make things even more difficult for you! How can you still have the mind to discuss tea here? I am so anxious!"
Jiang Shuyu looked at Yu Lan with worry in her eyes and couldn't help but said:
"Don't worry, Jiang Wanrong hasn't married yet, right? Jiang Wanrong is very concerned about her image. Even if she really marries Prince Rui and becomes his princess, she won't dare to cause trouble for me without any reason. She will only do some small things behind my back.
But you are right. Although it can't hurt me, it will become annoying after a long time. I have to find a way to dampen her enthusiasm, otherwise she will have nothing to do all day and can only stare at me.
There's no use keeping her around right now, so I can't let her go so easily. Since she's so worried, I'll give her a big gift. Let her know that even if she becomes the Princess of Rui, she can't rest easy. I'll make her constantly aware of the dangers, so she won't just stare at me anymore!"
After Jiang Shuyu finished speaking, she called Jinshu over and gave him some instructions. Seeing the surprise in Jinshu's eyes, Jiang Shuyu raised the corners of her lips slightly, then looked at Jinshu and said, "Go! Since Yuan Bingfei is so anxious, I will lend her a helping hand. That way, when Jiang Wanrong marries into Princess Rui's mansion, she won't be too bored!"
"Don't worry, young lady. I'll do it right away," Jinshu hurriedly bowed in response, then turned and left, preparing to secretly help Yuan Bingfei.
The more Yu Lan listened, the more she thought this method was feasible. She immediately looked at Jiang Shuyu and said happily, "In this way, when the second young lady marries, she will face Concubine Yuan, who holds great power in the Rui Palace, and Wang Xianglin, who married into the Rui Palace with her. I can already imagine how colorful the second young lady's life will be."
You must know that no matter whether it is Yuan Bingfei who is backed by Concubine Yuan, or Wang Xianglin, the daughter of a general, neither of them can be beaten or scolded by Jiang Wanrong at will. As long as the two of them are in the Prince Rui's Mansion, Jiang Wanrong's life will certainly not be easy.
Seeing Yu Lan's change from worry to joy, Jiang Shuyu shook her head helplessly. You know, what she wants is not just this.
Since Xiao Jinrui and Jiang Wanrong were so affectionate and loving in their previous life, they should naturally be a loving couple in this life!
