Chen gonggong was a servant brought by Imperial Consort Chen's maiden family. Ever since Imperial Consort Chen entered the palace, he had been promoted from a young eunuch to a gonggong. He was Imperial Consort Chen's trusted aide. Chen gonggong was also aware of Jiang Ruan's situation. Although he did not approve of his Young Miss's feelings towards Xiao Shao, Chen gonggong would not hesitate to help Imperial Consort Chen clear away the obstacles before her eyes.
Zuo Jiang clenched his fists. His heart was filled with anger. Just now, the matchmaker and the maidservant's shouts had attracted many people to watch the show. Last night, some of the guests in the mansion had made too much noise and were too drunk, so they rested at Lang Zhong's mansion. Just now, they all ran over to see what was going on, but now there was a bunch of people gathered at the door. What a joke!
Eunuch Chen hurriedly walked in and was shocked to see the things on the ground. He bent down to pick up Xuan You's head and put it into the box. He glanced at the palace maid. "Leave!"
His newlywed wife had sex with another man on the first night, but he was still by her side at that time. If word got out, people would think that he, Zuo Jiang, had some special fetish. Now, he had lost all of his face! Zuo Jiang couldn't figure out why this had happened. The one who had a joyous night with Xuan You should have been Jiang Ruan. Since Xuan You was here at this moment, it meant that Jiang Ruan was definitely safe. If news of this were to reach the palace, the Imperial Consort would definitely blame him for his incompetence.
Because of this matter, Jiang Li was unable to raise her head in the capital. Like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, she stayed in her room all day, not daring to go out. Even the servants of Lang Zhong's residence would look at her strangely, not to mention Zuo Jiang. He would beat and scold her at the slightest provocation, so her days were very difficult. Moreover, Jiang Quan also flew into a rage because of his relationship with Jiang Li. The courtiers looked at him with disdain. The Imperial Censors submitted a memorial to accuse the Minister of External Affairs of messing up the inner courtyard, and at the same time, they also accused him of not teaching his son well.
More and more people gathered outside the bridal chamber of the Lang Zhong's residence to watch the excitement. Two people squeezed out of the crowd. One was dressed as a matchmaker, the other was dressed as a maidservant. They were Jin San and Jin Si.
Xuan You was so scared that he took two steps back and accidentally knocked over the screen behind him. As the screen fell back, the person inside fell straight down. Xuan You cried out in alarm. That person fell to the ground, his entire body covered in blood. It was his personal servant, Xiao Li.
"What task?"
For a concubine-born daughter to have such a bright future, she was a model for the entire Great Jin Dynasty. They only knew that the guests had enjoyed themselves last night and the host had served them well. There were some secrets that no one knew.
The palace maids and eunuchs looked down in confusion. At first glance, they were so shocked that they almost screamed. The thing in the box was none other than the head of Xuan You, who had been killed a few days ago!
The matchmaker glanced at the bed and was stunned. Suddenly, she let out a high-pitched scream, causing the maid beside her to also raise her head to look at the bed. At first glance, she was also stunned. The two of them looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. Without another word, they screamed and ran out.
Jin Si nodded. "Not bad."
Xuan You was startled and stopped at the door. The heat he felt just now instantly receded and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He called out several times, "Xiao Li, Xiao Li!"
Ever since Ye Feng had been transferred to the Yi Bao Pavilion three years ago, Xiao Shao had never used him again. Everyone knew that Ye Feng had committed a grave mistake. He had almost caused the future Young Madam and the Young Master to become estranged, like fire and water. The Young Master had already been very merciful not to kill Ye Feng in a fit of anger. Now that he had used Ye Feng again, it was really strange.
"Slut!" Zuo Jiang ruthlessly slapped him across the face!
The atmosphere in the Hall of Dreams was very strange today. It was not as gentle as it used to be. There seemed to be a trace of impatience in the air. Even the beautiful and gentle woman on the main seat was now impatiently throwing away the scroll in her hands.
Jiang Li was on the verge of collapse. At this moment, she was completely naked. Even her exposed skin was covered in bruises. Those red marks were imprinted on her fair skin, making it even more obvious how crazy the events of last night had been.
Jin Er covered his head with his hands and said lazily, "Ye Feng has received a good task this time."
As the saying goes, when Xiao Shao smiles, the King of Hell takes a detour. The nobles of the Great Jin Dynasty's capital had been living too comfortably these past few years, and had long since forgotten about this matter. There was no harm in taking this opportunity to let them see clearly, to see whether the legend was true or not.
However, at the moment, Zuo Jiang could not care about Imperial Consort Chen. The current situation made it difficult for him to advance or retreat. If he let Xuan You go like this, the spittle of the common people in the capital would be enough to drown him tomorrow. The imperial censor's report would also make an issue of this matter. But if he did not let Xuan You go …. This matter was originally ordered by Imperial Consort Chen, how could he deal with Xuan You now? Now, Zuo Jiang was incomparably regretful. Why did he promise Imperial Consort Chen to help Xuan You obtain Jiang Ruan? Even if he had agreed, why did he choose to do it on his wedding day? Although he did not like Jiang Li, she was still the wife of a doctor. If he wanted to maintain his good reputation, he could not divorce his wife at this moment. But in this way, the image of affection that he had deliberately created would be destroyed!
There were actually two naked men sleeping on that spacious bed!
Xuan You sang loudly all the way back to the fu. Last night's torment was too much, so he went back to his room. When he returned to bed, he felt a little thirsty. He casually picked up the tea on the table and drank it clean in one gulp.
They were going to silence him. Eunuch Chen bent down and replied respectfully, "Cover."
Jin San fiddled with his hair, "Master has called Ye Feng back. Is he going to use him again?"
Naturally, Jiang Li did not know that in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Xuan You had poured a sufficient amount of 'Spring Breeze Crossing' into both cups of wine. Regardless of whether Jiang Ruan had switched the wine cups or not, she would still have fallen into the trap!
At this moment, listening to Tian Zhu's words, Jiang Ruan's heart sank. In the capital, who else besides the Imperial Bodyguards would dare to openly kill a prince of a country? This thunderous method, like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, was in line with Xiao Shao's character. She originally did not intend to let go of the doctor's family and Xuan You, but Xiao Shao had acted first. It had to be said that he had acted very quickly and saved her a lot of trouble. However, would it bring him trouble?
The crisp sound of that slap not only woke Jiang Li up, but also made Xuan You understand. Yesterday, when he had caught Jiang Ruan, it had been Xiao Shao who had rushed over with his men. At that time, Xiao Shao had looked very scary, and then …. Then he did not know anything. When he woke up, he was already on Zuo Jiang's bed.
Xuan You was dead, dead in his own fu. From top to bottom, there was no one left alive, all of them killed with a single slash. Xuan You's death was the most tragic. His whole body had been chopped into pieces, but his head had disappeared without a trace. If it were not for the clothes and the official seal, no one would have guessed that this was Xuan You. The other party had acted so cruelly that everyone guessed that Xuan You's enemies had come to seek revenge. The patrol office had already sent people to investigate the matter, but unfortunately, there had been no progress.
Leaving Jiang Ruan alive would be a disaster, but Xiao Shao was not a kind person. This could be seen from today's matter. They had long known that Xuan You's death was caused by him, but they did not know that Xiao Shao had no scruples to this extent. He even dared to openly present Xuan You's head to Imperial Consort Chen. Was this a warning, or a sign?
Jin San glanced at Jin Si, "Did I shout loudly just now?"
Jin One, Jin Two, Jin Three, and Jin Four sat on a tree not far away and looked at Jiang Ruan. The incident at the Lang Zhong fu made Xiao Shao vigilant. Just one Tian Zhu was not enough. Xiao Shao had ordered them to protect Jiang Ruan for the next few days.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. This was just the beginning. Once their master was angry, there would be a reign of terror in the capital. The Lang Zhong fu had only lost face, but what would happen next would definitely cause everyone involved to be unable to extricate themselves. Those who needed to die would die. As for that person in the palace, she would not be able to escape.
As soon as she entered the room, the tip of her nose was filled with a lewd and ambiguous smell. The servant girl lowered her head and called out, "Ye, Furen."
When these matters in the capital reached Jiang Ruan's ears, Jiang Ruan was also somewhat stunned. These past few days, she had been staying at Jinying Wang fu. Xiao Shao sent someone to send a message to the General fu, saying that Jiang Ruan had been plotted against and was now resting in his fu. To the outside world, Jiang Ruan had returned to the General fu to see Zhao Guang and his wife. Jinying Wang fu had always kept this matter a secret, so no one had discovered it.
The Si Yi Palace was the most diligent in sending clothes to Mengmeng Palace. Everyone knew that Imperial Consort Chen was deeply favored by the Emperor, so naturally, she would be more attentive. Today was the same. When the palace maid returned to her bedroom, she saw the box and thought that it had been sent over by the servants.
"Who are you? Someone come! This prince is an imperial prince, what do you want to do? "Xuan You panicked. The two of them walked towards him, and after a while, a blood-curdling scream came from the room.
Imperial Consort Chen stared at the box in Chen gonggong's hands and suddenly laughed loudly, "He actually wants to oppose me! Defying the laws of the world to oppose me! " She gritted her teeth and the crazed look in her eyes gradually receded, returning to her icy beauty. However, upon closer inspection, one could see the burning jealousy in her eyes. She said in a low voice, "Alright, since he has done this, don't blame me for being ruthless. I want to see how far he is willing to go for that woman!"
For example, on the second day, when the sun was high in the sky, the maid and matron of honor from the Lang fu came to collect the red petals from the night before. The maid called out a few times, but there was no response. She thought that the master of the house was tired and pushed the door open to enter.
The palace maids hurriedly pushed the door away. Imperial Consort Chen gasped and looked at Chen gonggong, "Old Chen, it's him, it must be him." There was a rare sense of anxiety in her voice.
Jin Si frowned, "Better not, Ye Feng is too stupid." Although Jin San and Jin Si looked exactly the same, their temperaments were very different. Even if they wore the same clothes, it was still easy to distinguish them. Jin San was flirtatious, while Jin Si was heroic. Jin Si and Ye Feng had never been on good terms, so he naturally did not want Ye Feng to work for Xiao Shao again.
Over the years, Xiao Shao had become more and more calm, and it was rare to see him so murderous. Before Xuan You died, it could be said that he had experienced the most painful methods in the world. To be able to die at Xiao Shao's hands, it was really worth it.
Jiang Li staggered from the blow and covered her face, not daring to speak. What was going on? How could she sleep with two men? And one of them was her new husband?
Yesterday, the Jiang fu's daughter had married off, and the Third Miss, who was born of a concubine, had become the wife of the Left Minister of the court.
Xuan You's scalp went numb and he immediately rushed out the door to escape. Who knew that before he could move, the door would be kicked open from the outside. Two men dressed in black stood at the door, looking at him expressionlessly.
Jiang Li shrank back in horror. No matter how stupid she was, she understood at this moment that she had lost her virginity in front of Zuo Jiang. Now, even if she stood on the title of Lang Zhong's wife, in this lifetime, she could forget about gaining her husband's respect and favor.
After waiting for a long time, no one answered her. The matchmaker also felt strange and boldly looked towards the bed. On the spacious bed, the gauze curtains were gently swaying, and music could be heard. Two naked bodies could be seen intertwining. The matchmaker's old face turned red, and she cursed in her heart. Sure enough, a concubine's daughter was unruly. How could there be a new bride who was so restless, like a prostitute?
Yesterday at the wedding banquet, she had seen Jiang Ruan drink the drugged wine, and her heart was at ease. However, when the person who had toasted her left, she felt that something was wrong with her body. Her whole body was on fire, and now that she thought about it, it seemed like she had just been drugged? Could it be that the wine had been switched by Jiang Ruan?
…
Xuan You knew that this was certainly Xiao Shao's doing, but Xiao Shao did not take his life. Xuan You breathed a huge sigh of relief. Although Jiang Ruan was very unwilling to escape from his hands, Xuan You did not have the guts to oppose Xiao Shao.
The matchmaker smiled and said, "Grand-aunt?"
'Spring Breeze Crossing' was worthy of being the best aphrodisiac. Even after a crazy night, he still felt a little restless. Xuan You got up, wanting to go out and grab a concubine to relieve his fire. Just as he was about to leave the room, his footsteps suddenly stopped. Since he had returned to the fu, not a single person had come to welcome him. Manservants, maids, and beautiful concubines, there was not a single person. The entire fu had sunk into a deathly silence, without the slightest sign of life.
…
Zuo Jiang gritted his teeth as he watched Xuan You put on his clothes and swagger away. Xuan You had never been afraid of the gossip of outsiders, so he was very free and at ease. Zuo Jiang, who was left behind, had to face all kinds of colors alone. In a fit of anger, he looked at Jiang Li's dazed appearance and could not help but kick her, "Slut!"
Chen gonggong's lips moved, but he still did not say anything. Imperial Consort Chen glanced at him and coldly said, "Today, the palace maids present, you know what to do."
Perhaps it was because she had finally heard the matchmaker's voice, the person on the bed moaned. With a hand, she lifted the curtain and said in a daze, "Who is it?"
On the second day of Zuo Jiang's marriage, the whole city was filled with lively rumors. One was that Zuo Lang Zhong was a good man who valued relationships and did not think that one could not judge a book by its cover. In private, he had some despicable hobbies. He liked to play with his wife with outsiders. In this world, there was nothing wrong with a man having hobbies, but the wife was the legal wife. To play with her like this was very immoral. Rumor had it that Zuo Lang Zhong was willing to be cuckolded. He did not divorce his wife, nor did he find trouble with the perverted prince.
A man on the bed rubbed his sleepy eyes and woke up. He said unhappily, "What are you making a racket about? This prince will punish you later." It was Xuan You.
The Third Prince, Xuan You, bullied men and took women. In the capital, he used his status as a prince to act tyrannically. He had harmed many girls and wives. He had long been a street rat that everyone wanted to beat up. When the commoners heard of Xuan You's death, they all praised him. They all vented their anger and celebrated. But because of this, Xuan You had made too many enemies. No one knew who did it. As a result, Zuo Jiang, who had been slapped in the face by Xuan You a few days ago, became the biggest suspect.
Zuo Jiang was very helpless. With Xuan You's death, if Imperial Consort Chen suspected that he was the culprit, it would be a public display of dissatisfaction with her. Imperial Consort Chen was a ruthless person and it was inevitable that she would be unhappy with him. It was precisely because he had become the biggest suspect that his every move was being monitored. Many pairs of eyes were staring at him in the dark. How could he dare to act blindly without thinking? His days were very sullen.
Seeing the box, Imperial Consort Chen's expression improved. She ordered a palace maid to bring the box over and gently open it. It was a normal thing to do. However, she only heard her scream, "Ah!" The box in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. A round object fell out and rolled on the ground, leaving a trail of red spots on the ground.
The Brocade One and Brocade Two had just massacred the Third Prince's residence yesterday. As assassins, they seemed to have some bloodthirst in their bones. Yesterday, Xuan You had been personally dealt with by Xiao Shao. A hundred and eight cuts, each cut deep into the bones. It was only after the last cut that Xuan You finally stopped breathing. The Brocade Guards had many methods of torturing people. It was just that the coldness in Xiao Shao's eyes last night caused these personal bodyguards to be shocked.
As for the other person … Jiang Li's entire body started to tremble. Zuo Jiang opened his eyes and was stunned.
The manservant did not reply. No one in the entire residence answered him. It was as if there was no one in the residence. Xuan You did not dare to rashly go out. He walked to the window and looked out. He saw a large patch of red spreading out from the window. It was a ghastly sight.
"Your Ladyship, the clothes that were made yesterday should have arrived." A palace maid brought over a small box.
If this was already very shocking, then what happened next would set off a huge wave in the capital. It was all because Xuan You was dead.
He looked at Zuo Jiang and Jiang Li with a frown. It seemed that Jiang Li was the one who went crazy last night. Fine, she was still a virgin. Xuan You stretched, "Miss Jiang, you should now call me Madam Zuo. Thank you for your hospitality last night. This prince is very satisfied."
Xuan You still had a frightened and angry expression on his face. His mouth was wide open as if he had suffered a great deal of pain before dying. Everything below the neck had been neatly chopped off. There was blood everywhere, but his face was very clean. It seemed that he had deliberately cleaned it. At this moment, Xuan You's eyes were wide open as he stared at Imperial Concubine Chen. Imperial Concubine Chen's face paled and she almost fell to the ground.
The scream was too ear-piercing and almost attracted the attention of all the servants in the Lang Zhong's residence. The woman on the bed seemed to have woken up a little. She suddenly felt that something was wrong and looked down. Then, she also screamed.
However, she had been in the bridal chamber the whole time. It was one thing for Zuo Jiang, but why was Xuan You here?
…
Her scream finally woke up the other two people on the bed, and they slowly woke up.
"Your Ladyship, please spare me." The palace maid knew that she had made a big mistake and quickly knelt down and kowtowed. The palace maids of the Hall of Dreams all knelt down. Imperial Concubine Chen screamed, "Old Chen, Old Chen!"
Jin Er smiled, "Go and give Imperial Concubine Chen a big gift."
