Chapter 34 I want it too
What Xiao Cui was talking about was the assassination incident in the palace before.
"The man who was released that day was the former Left General who had just been promoted. Originally, this general had made outstanding military achievements and would have lived a good life after returning to the capital with the rewards he received. But it was discovered that he had the blood of a Xiling national.
If he was an ordinary Xiling citizen, it would be fine, but he happened to be the descendant of the criminal who massacred the city 20 years ago."
Twenty years ago, when Ye Jinshu's parents were still alive, the emperor of Chen Kingdom ascended the throne and took over a precarious country.
Later, under the confrontation between the Ye family and the Zhang family, that is, the entire clan of Ye Jinshu's parents, the country was saved from the hands of Xiling Kingdom at the cost of almost the complete annihilation of the direct lines of both clans.
The massacre of the city was what the Xiling Kingdom did during the war between the two countries.
Not only did they massacre the city, but they also buried the prisoners alive.
At that time, the general of Xiling State believed that food for the prisoners was a big problem, and a large number of prisoners would also pose a threat to the army, so he killed all the more than 8,000 prisoners, regardless of age, gender or sex.
The same is true for massacres.
Because of the brutal behavior of Xiling State at that time, even though Xiling State was defeated and asked for peace, Chen State did not establish diplomatic relations with Xiling State.
As luck would have it, this General Zuo was the descendant of the evil general who ordered the massacre.
It seems that someone stole the child in revenge and deliberately threw the child to the Chen State, which had a blood feud with him.
Unexpectedly, the child did not die, but survived, and now he can even go into battle and kill the enemy.
General Zuo grew up in Chen State and received Chen State's education. He never thought that he would be a Xiling citizen, and he himself could not accept it.
"After this incident got out, the people were very dissatisfied. They all said that General Zuo should be executed. Some people even said that the reason General Zuo became a general was so that he could pass on information to Xiling Kingdom in the future."
"Perhaps they were afraid that it would be unsafe to lock General Zuo in a cell outside the palace, so they locked him up in the dungeon of the imperial palace. Unexpectedly, he was rescued by someone."
"There are rumors that the man in black who rescued General Zuo was originally from the palace. He knew that General Zuo was innocent and deliberately wanted to let him go."
Hearing this, Ye Jinshu recalled what Xiao Cui had told him that day about the Fourth Prince disguising himself as an assassin, and he suddenly understood.
She said that in a place like the imperial palace, if a mosquito flew in, it would be slapped to death instantly. How could the Fourth Prince escape from the dungeon to Anping Palace so smoothly with his ability?
You have to know that Anping Palace is right next to the Queen's and the Emperor's bedrooms, and a mosquito would die with just a slap.
Ye Jinshu thought that he had always underestimated the Fourth Prince's ability, but unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince was let off the hook.
Jiang Sisi also discovered the blind spot after hearing this: "I know about this matter. There is even a betting game outside the palace to guess who will rescue General Zuo. I bet that the murderer will not be caught, and I made a lot of money."
Ye Jinshu didn't expect that there was such an interesting gambling game outside the palace, and immediately said, "I want to play too."
"Okay, I'll call you next time."
Ji Yanqing frowned as he listened to this. He did not quite agree with Ye Jinshu getting involved in these things. After all, there were many things to consider in a gambling game, including human interference. People like Ye Jinshu would be cheated out of all their money.
But now Ji Yanqing is not in a position to directly interfere with Ye Jinshu's decision.
At this moment, Ji Yanqing began to think about the possibility that he could interfere with the princess's decision.
Ye Jinshu asked again: "But how do you know that the murderer cannot be caught?"
The palace was heavily guarded, so it was almost impossible for the murderer not to be caught.
If the person who should be caught is not caught, someone else will lose his head because of this incident.
Jiang Sisi looked at Xiao Cui and asked Ye Jinshu: "Is Anping Palace a place where you can talk freely?"
Ye Jinshu nodded.
"The secret guards around you."
Ye Jinshu then remembered that there were secret guards beside her.
Since she is not afraid of anything she does, she has long regarded the secret guards as nothing. But Jiang Sisi is different, and she still has to live a good life.
So, after such a long time, Ye Jinshu gave the order for the first time, asking everyone around her except the Ye family's secret guards to stay outside Anping Palace.
Jiang Sisi originally thought that the secret guards around Ye Jinshu were there to monitor her and she might not be able to order them to do anything. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said that, the secret guards left immediately.
They were so well-behaved as if Ye Jinshu was really their master.
"I thought those secret guards were here to monitor you."
Jiang Sisi lamented that she seemed to have thought too much, but she didn't expect that Ye Jinshu's words told her that she didn't think too much.
"They are here to monitor me." Ye Jinshu did not notice how shocking it was that he said this calmly.
"I used to cause trouble for others often, and sometimes I would meet someone I couldn't get over. The secret guards that my uncle and aunt gave me would come out to help me at such times."
"When I was wronged, they seemed to report it to my uncle and aunt right away. Usually, they wouldn't tell everything. But like today, if I don't want them to hear it, I can let them leave."
After listening to Ye Jinshu's words, Jiang Sisi realized that the emperor and empress seemed to be really kind to Ye Jinshu, and not just pretending to be nice to him as they, as outsiders, imagined, because Ye Jinshu was the last direct descendant of the Ye and Zhang families.
Ye Jinshu does have pure capital.
Because she has no shortage of people protecting her.
After confirming this, Jiang Sisi whispered what she was about to say to Ye Jinshu: "That General Zuo is the master who taught the Fourth Prince martial arts."
Jiang Sisi just mentioned it briefly and didn't say any more conclusions.
But after saying that, Ye Jinshu looked at her with admiring eyes, which made her feel embarrassed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Sister Jiang is really amazing!"
Ye Jinshu only barely connected the two things after he knew that the Fourth Prince was the man in black that day. He didn't expect Jiang Sisi to guess it directly.
She is worthy of being Sister Jiang!
Jiang Sisi never took other people's flattery to heart, but when faced with Ye Jinshu's compliments, she felt inexplicably touched.
Perhaps it was because those people all had their own purposes, while Ye Jinshu was praising sincerely.
Looking at Ye Jinshu like this, Jiang Sisi felt that she had to worry more about her.
"Did you know that the sachet that Ye Ruoyan gave to the Queen at her birthday party cured her headache?"
"know."
"That sachet has the effect of detoxification. The queen was unwell before because of poisoning, but now she has been detoxified. Because of the sachet, many officials and noble ladies want to get in touch with Ye Ruoyan and ask her to help make some."
"Oh, Sister Jiang, do you want to do it too?"
Jiang Sisi was very disappointed: "After hearing this, don't you have anything else to say?"
Jiang Sisi hoped that Ye Jinshu would consider the threat that Ye Ruoyan would pose if she hooked up with the noble ladies, but Ye Jinshu said, "Okay, I admit that I actually want one, but I don't know if Ye Ruoyan is willing to give it to me."
The prince, who had not been to Anping Palace for several months, was in a dilemma when he heard this.
I thought the two would tell you some plan to torture Ye Ruoyan, but I didn't expect Ye Jinshu's mind to be so simple. Chu Yi felt guilty for his own mean-spiritedness and lost his composure.
His breathing became disordered for a moment and he was discovered by Jiang Sisi.
From now on, I will post on time at 8 o'clock every night!
