The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 147: The Past (3)

Xiao Shao was very focused on roasting. This person's appearance has always been nothing to say. Now he happened to be in front of the fire, and the fire light reflected his side face. I only felt that his facial features were exquisite and romantic, but he was also very heroic, worthy of his eyebrows. It is picturesque, and the shape of the thin lips is especially beautiful. Even though the appearance of roasting rabbits is like a grass in the rivers and lakes at the moment, it still looks like eating in a wealthy family's house. The black brocade clothes outlined his tall and slender figure, usually cold and distant, but now the firelight softened his complexion, showing just the right amount of warmth.

This man is truly unparalleled in appearance and unparalleled in style.

He handed the roasted rabbit meat to Jiang Ruan, and seeing Jiang Ruan looking at him without blinking, he asked, "What?"

Jiang Ruan came back to her senses and stared at the roasted charred rabbit meat, which gave off a rich aroma. The rabbit meat was just a mouth-watering golden color. She was already extremely tired today, and she was already hungry. He took it bluntly, temporarily forgetting his vigilance towards Xiao Shao, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao is very good at cooking."

Xiao Shao roasted his share, his expression was still indifferent, as if he was treating a stranger, and he didn't say much.

Jiang Ruan took a bite of the rabbit meat and said, "Prince Xiao is so precious, it is unexpected that he can do these trivial things."

The son of a nobleman with a golden spoon in his mouth not only kills, but also does these things. Jiang Ruan couldn't help but think of the rumors about Xiao Shao in his previous life. After the death of the ten-year-old King Jinying, he took over the Jinyiwei. At the beginning, everyone was waiting for him. Seeing his jokes, he thought that a young boy would only smile generously. Who knew that after he took office, he was full of iron and blood, and it didn't take long for him to establish absolute prestige among the Jinyiwei. Hundreds of thousands of Jinyiwei bowed their heads to this young master. Glory does not see the pain behind it, Xiao Shao must have suffered a lot for this achievement. Such a tough-minded person is not to be underestimated.

She turned her head to look at the young man by the fire. She was only in her early twenties, but she was not at all impetuous or frivolous. It was the calmness and indifference after years of precipitation. It seems that there is a sense of security because of this person.

However, it is impossible to distinguish between friend and foe.

Could Xiao Shao save her because of the prime minister's residence?

In the previous life, Xiao Shao was on the side of the prince, and Ye Li and him were at odds. When she dealt with the Prime Minister's House, she was like Xiao Shao's friend, isn't that true?

Jiang Ruan opened his mouth softly, and asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Master Xiao, why did you save me?"

...

Jiang's mansion seemed to be turned upside down at this moment.

Four identical carriages headed in different directions, except for Jiang Ruan's carriage, the other three hit the stone wall or tall trees in the end, and the people in the carriage rolled all the way along the mountain.

The people Guan Lianghan sent to rescue Jiang Li and Jiang Dan were more or less injured, but they didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and finally found Jiang Susu, who was still the most seriously injured.

Butterflies and dragonflies scratched their foreheads, but Jiang Susu's carriage fell on a long steep slope. When the carriage turned over, Jiang Susu fell out and happened to land in a bush of thorns. The thorns were full of barbs. Wearing heavy clothes, she never had any injuries, but her face. Under the veil, only a shallow scar had healed. The face was riddled with thorns. When the guards found Jiang Susu, her face was covered with blood. He looked horrified, shouted for help in a hoarse voice, and looked like a ghost.

Guan Lianghan ordered someone to send the injured Miss Jiang's family back to Jiang's family.

Xia Yan was waiting anxiously, and suddenly saw the servant report, saying that the officers and soldiers had brought the carriage back. There was a thump in my heart.

How can it be so fast? It will take half a day for the government to walk to the point of the cliff. How can it be so fast?

It was obviously more than this that made her shudder, the young man said: "Second Miss is also injured."

Xia Yan stood up all of a sudden, and when she saw Jiang Susu unconscious, her heart twitched again, and she almost fainted.

How could Jiang Susu be injured so badly? It was still hurt on the face. If this happened in the future, who would dare to marry a disfigured woman as the head wife?

She grabbed an officer and said, "Officer, what happened?"

Seeing that she was the mistress of the Jiang family, the soldier had a gentle attitude: "The prime minister's mansion, Li An, secretly raised troops for rebellion, and has been taken down. Several young ladies were injured. The general ordered us to send them back."

Already taken down? Xia Yan's face turned pale, Li An failed? Such an elite soldier actually failed? However, she suddenly became anxious again, if Li An was really captured, would she give her a confession? A charge of colluding with the imperial court again, she felt terrified when she thought about it.

She said cautiously, "Why did you suddenly rebel?"

The soldier saw that she didn't care about the injured lady in the house, but cared about these irrelevant things, so he couldn't help but look at her suspiciously. Seeing this, Xia Yan immediately said: "What does this villain's rebellion have to do with my girl, and my girl has been wronged so much, I can't wait to take his skin off and send him to prison."

The soldier didn't doubt that he was there, so he said: "I have been escorted back to the capital, the other young ladies in the house are safe, but the young lady..."

Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat, only to realize that Jiang Ruan hadn't come back, and forced himself to suppress the surprise in his heart, his face was already extremely anxious: "What does the official mean by this? What's wrong with Ruan'er?"

The soldier looked at her apologetically: "The eldest lady of the family was forced into a dangerous situation by Li An and jumped into the cliff by herself. The general has already sent someone to look for her. Madam, don't worry too much."

Xia Yan swept away the haze of disfigurement on Jiang Susu's face in his mind, and felt that he could only laugh out loud, Jiang Ruan is dead! Jiang Ruan is dead! How can you survive jumping off a cliff? I'm afraid that the corpses were eaten by wolves with no bones left.

The expression on her face changed, and she suddenly burst into tears, as if she had suffered a great blow, she murmured: "My Ruan'er..."

"Ma'am, don't worry. If you really want to worry, you can worry about the Second Young Master."

"Chaoer?" Xia Yan's laughter stiffened, and an ominous premonition crossed his mind: "How is Chaoer?"

"The group of rebels chased and killed the four young ladies in the mansion, but they never touched the second young master of the mansion. When the general found the second young master, he was still drinking tea leisurely in the carriage. The general suspected that he was in collusion with the rebels, and he was already with Li An Imprisoned."

Xia Yan couldn't get back to his senses: "What? How could Chao'er be a traitor? You must have made a mistake. Chao'er is innocent."

The soldier bowed to her: "We will only find out after the interrogation." After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly thought of something, he turned around and said, "Although the eldest lady of the family fell to the bottom of the cliff, King Jinying I have personally descended to the bottom of the cliff to save people, and I should be able to return safely, Madam, don't worry." After saying that, he left without looking back.
