Chapter 785: County Lady, One of Us
Keep your original intention?
It is easy for her to keep her original intention, but the key is whether Concubine Shu will believe it?
As expected, some things are destined to happen and cannot be avoided just because you want to.
After waking up, Concubine Shu quickly called Ruyi and asked her to rub her head. Her head was swollen and painful: "I had a nightmare."
Ruyi immediately stopped rubbing her gently, turned around and poured her a cup of warm water: "Master, please drink some water first."
Concubine Shu, who had calmed down a little, took the cup and took a big sip. After handing the cup to Ruyi, she continued, "I dreamed that Jiahe stood beside Prince Ning, looking at me with a ferocious expression. Behind them was the captured Jin'er. Their men stabbed Jin'er with knives, and her whole body was covered in blood..."
"She said that everything was my own fault. How could I be willing to give the family honor to others?"
"Ruyi, she is unfaithful!"
Ruyi actually wanted to persuade her master that "what you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night", but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips: "Master, she is married into our Duke's Mansion after all, and is also listed in our Duke's Mansion's family tree. Where is her home and who are her family members, Jiahe County Lady will also think about it herself. However, we must be on guard against others, or let someone keep an eye on her?"
If she has any evil intentions, get rid of her before the wedding, so that the prince won't be accused of being a wife-killer.
She will make plans after she marries into the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, as there is no guarantee that the prince will not protect her.
Concubine Shu thought about it and felt that what Ruyi said was feasible: "Not only should we keep a close eye on Princess Jiahe, but we should also send someone to keep an eye on Prince Ning."
It would be even better if we could arrange for that person to live in Prince Ning's mansion and be by Prince Ning's side.
Ruyi helped her to sleep and comforted her, "I will send someone to do it tomorrow morning."
"Also, pick two more maids for Xing'er, as he is getting married soon..."
"Okay, I'll do it together tomorrow. Master, please get some more sleep. It's almost dawn."
……
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
Although it was a period of national mourning, the Empress Dowager had already been buried, and the atmosphere in Kyoto was gradually becoming lively.
There is no lively New Year's Day, but by the Lantern Festival, the streets are already filled with plain-colored lanterns.
Compared with previous years, the styles of lanterns are more diverse and the colors are brighter and more festive, but this year's Lantern Festival, all the big red lanterns are hidden.
The streets and alleys are filled with white lanterns.
Xiangling and several maids persuaded Jiang Hao to go out for a walk tonight. After all, such a lively occasion only happens once a year.
This is the day when young boys and girls meet and date openly on the streets, so the streets must be very lively.
Jiang Hao couldn't stand the verbal bombardment and responded with a smile.
After dinner in the evening, the master and his servants went out together.
Ji Zixuan originally wanted to stay in the mansion to study, but on a whim, he followed Jiang Hao out.
Two carriages slowly drove out of the Ji Mansion, and Vanilla chattered excitedly incessantly.
Jiang Hao leaned back in the carriage and dozed off with his eyes closed, but unexpectedly, he vaguely sensed someone following them on the roof behind them on the left.
Although she was far away, her alertness had already improved. As long as she wanted to listen, she could hear and distinguish sounds within 50 meters.
However, she did not alert the enemy and continued to take a nap.
She stopped the carriage only when they were almost at the busy alley.
get off.
The carriage moved on.
The "tail" didn't know how she came down alone and went into the night, so he hurried to chase her, but unexpectedly, a man appeared behind him with an astonishing speed. In an instant, a cold short blade was placed on his neck: "County lady, we are one of you."
