A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 12 Dress up as a pig and eat a tiger
The north gate pavilion was arranged early in the morning, so there should be no need to worry.But I don't know why, on a rare day off, Shen Zaiya didn't go anywhere, but just lay on the recliner in the yard in a daze.

Zhanlu stood aside, looked at his master's erratic eyes, and coughed lightly: "The weather is fine today, don't you want to go into the palace to have a look?"

With his eyes in focus, Shen Zaye turned his head sideways, half of his eyes were blocked by his messy black hair, and he looked extremely lazy.

"I'm a little tired and don't want to move."

From getting up to now, I just went to Zhengchun Pavilion to send someone off, so why bother?Zhan Lu felt that he couldn't understand, so he couldn't help but reached out and touched his master's forehead.

are you okay...

Slapping his hand away, Shen Zaye frowned: "You have time to stay here, why don't you go and see how things are going."

"Master, don't worry." Zhan Lu said: "Everything is in plan, Lady Jiang is unprepared. After the meal prepared at noon, it's time to go on the road."

"What if she doesn't eat?"

"No, the mansion deliberately didn't prepare breakfast for Mrs. Jiang, and King Jing was here, even if it meant something, she would definitely move her chopsticks. Even if she really didn't want to eat, the maid standing next to her would give it to her. Feed it." Zhan Lu thought for a while and said, "But I should be able to eat it myself."

That's it, Shen Zaye nodded, continued to lie flat and looked at the clouds in the sky, and sighed softly.

The sigh sounded normal to others, but Zhan Lu was startled, his pupils narrowed, and he looked at him in surprise.

Zhanlu has been with Shen Zaye for too long, so long that he can feel the change of his mood from his tone.The last time I sighed like this seemed to be when I left that place two years ago.Heavy and full of regret, the final sound fell, but it was firm and decisive, as if some difficult and necessary decision had been made.

It has been two years, and the master's mood has never had any huge fluctuations. How could it happen today...

Frowning, Zhan Lu pursed her lips, turned around and took a few steps back, beckoning the people standing at the gate of the courtyard to ask: "What's going on at the North Gate Pavilion?"

The servant looked panic-stricken, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Just now a message came from the Yamen in the capital, saying that the carriage of the Prime Minister's mansion was assassinated on the way...the situation is being investigated."

What? !Zhan Lu was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to report the situation, but almost hit Shen Zaiye's chin.

"Something happened, why didn't you report it earlier?" Shen Zaye stood behind Zhanlu, his face a little gloomy: "If you don't ask, are you planning to keep it a secret?"

The servant's face was pale, and he quickly knelt down and said: "Master Xiang Mingjian, the news just came, the slave is going in to report..."

"How long has it been?" Shen Zaiye asked impatiently interrupting him.

"It's been... half an hour."

"waste!"

Pulling his cloak angrily, Shen Zaiye walked out with a sullen face: "When did the news from the Xiangfu become so slow?"

Zhan Lu hurriedly followed behind, whispering: "You closed Wenfengtang two days ago."

The people in Wenfengtang were in charge of delivering the news of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but there were spies and they were shut down by Shen Zaiye in a rage.At this moment, no one was able to send news back as quickly as they did.

With a cold snort, Shen Zaiye went out and got on his horse, and ran towards the North Gate Pavilion without saying a word.

People from the Yamen of the capital are looking at the situation at the intersection of the street. Seeing that it is the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one dares to move, but the three people next to them are all unconscious, and there is no one in the car. What if some important person is hijacked? , That would be a big trouble, so the people in the capital were anxious to find a solution, and they didn't notify the prime minister's mansion immediately.

There were not many people coming and going on this street, no one knew what happened, and it was very difficult to track it down.

The head catcher was staring at the carriage in a daze, when he suddenly heard the neighing of a horse behind him, and before he could turn his head, his clothes were ripped away.

"What about people?"

The expression on Shen Zaiye's face was very relaxed, as if he was asking casually, but the coldness in his eyes made the little catcher's legs go limp in fright, and he quickly said: "I don't know about the humble job! Something seems to have happened here, Che The people inside are gone..."

Frowning slightly, Shen Zaiye let go of him, and patted his clothes lightly: "The person is gone, won't you look for him?"

"...Yes!" The head catcher shook his body, and quickly waved his hands to scatter the catchers present, sending people to chase him in every direction of the street.

What can you get after chasing like this?Suppressing the anger in his heart, Shen Zaiye lifted the curtain of the car and looked, and then looked at the three people lying beside him.

"Zhanlu, wake them up."

"Yes."

He found a basin of water and poured it on the faces of the three of them, and immediately woke up two of them.

"Prime Minister!" The two guards knelt down in panic.

"What happened?" Shen Zaiye looked down at them: "You don't have any resistance at all?"

Startled, the guard hurriedly said, "It's not that the subordinates didn't resist, it's because they were unprepared. Someone knocked the subordinate unconscious from behind, and there was no time to react."

from behind?Shen Zaye was taken aback, then glanced around again: "How many people did you bring with you when you came out?"

"Master Hui, four."

four?Pursing his lips, Shen Zaiye narrowed his eyes slightly.

There was no sign of struggle on the car, and two guards were missing. Compared to being kidnapped, it is more likely that the woman escaped with her own people, right?

But what is she running for?Is it possible that such a foolish person can still sense the danger ahead?
"Zhanlu, go and stabilize Prince Jing first." After thinking for a while, Shen Zaiye ordered in a deep voice: "I'll go back and change my clothes first, and then go to the appointment. The rest of the people, go back to the prime minister's mansion to clean up the people. If there are two less guards, Immediately lead people to search all over the capital. If there are no shortages...then let the Kyoto Yamen find people."

"Yes!" Everyone present moved, and did things according to the instructions.

Shen Zaiye got on the horse again, held the rein for a while, shook his head slightly, and galloped back.

I hope it's not what he thinks, that woman Jiang Taohua is already dangerous enough, if she is a smart person, it will be really troublesome.

Before noon, the sky became inexplicably gloomy, the sun disappeared, and the wind became stronger.The side door of Nanwang Mansion was ajar, and someone ran out after a while.

"Jiang's?"

Looking at the person leaning against the door, Mu Wuxia was shocked: "You, how could you..."

The blood stains on Jiang Taohua's body stained the plain skirt terribly, and there was no blood on her face, as if she had suffered a serious injury.

"My lord." Seeing him, Tao Hua immediately blushed, "Maybe my lord can save my life?"

"What happened?" Mu Wuxia panicked, squatting beside her, frowning tightly: "Why didn't you tell Prime Minister Shen when you were injured like this?"

"I can't tell him." Taohua shook her head, panting, "For the details, my lord can listen to me slowly after entering the house. Now please think of a way to tell everyone about the situation without anyone finding out." I'll put it in your house."

Mu Wuxia was taken aback for a moment, then calmed down: "I understand."

Since she sent her maid to sneak into the palace to spread the word, she naturally didn't want others to know about it.Mu Wuxia turned around and went in and drove all the slaves to the backyard, saying that he would give a lecture later, then wrapped the peach blossoms in a cloak and let Qingmoss carry them inside.

"The people in this mansion are all smart, this king has to deal with it first."

After placing her in the inner room of his room, Mu Wuxia said, "Wait a moment."

"Okay." Jiang Taohua nodded, watching Mu Wuxia go out.

"Master." Qingmoss sat on the side of the bed with some trepidation: "Will the prince believe us?"

"Other princes definitely won't." Taking a breath, Taohua covered her waist, pursed her lips and said, "Nan Wang is different, he is completely young at heart, full of sense of justice, and he has doubts about Shen Zaiye .”

As long as she guessed half right, he would definitely believe it.

Qingmo sighed, and couldn't help muttering softly: "I thought it would be a good thing to marry this big Wei, but I didn't expect it to be a life-and-death. I knew..."

"Don't talk about those useless things." Taohua curled her lips: "Fate is determined by God, and no one has the right to know it in advance. It's already like this, why don't you think about how to live well."

She thought that getting married by mistake was a good thing, but she didn't expect to fall into a bigger pit.Shen Zaiye is an inhumane person. She has a good-looking skin for nothing. She doesn't need to have other expectations of him. If she should be framed, she can be framed. It is important to save her own life.

Moss was silent, looking at her with distressed eyes.Tao Hua didn't care much, she was thinking about things while waiting for Nan Wang to come back.

Mu Wuxia really didn't leave for a long time. When he came back, he closed the door tightly and strode to the bed: "Are you okay?"

Jiang Taohua smiled: "Maybe it's not very good, but it surprises me that the prince trusts me so much. Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"

"This king is very accurate at seeing people." Pulling a stool to one side to sit down, the little prince raised his chin and said confidently: "The last time I saw you, this king knew that you would not be a bad person."

How do you know she's not bad?Taohua was taken aback for a moment, and looked down at herself suspiciously.

"Do you want to see a doctor first for your injury?" Mu Wuxia frowned.

"After I finished speaking, if the lord believes it, then he can call the doctor. If he doesn't believe it, there is no need to call." After taking a few breaths, Tao Hua looked at him with burning eyes.

After a slight pause, Mu Wuxia nodded: "Tell me, what happened."

"Prime Minister Shen is going to kill me."

"..." Taking a light breath, the little prince's eyes widened: "Why?!"

"Because he wants King Jing to bear the charge of killing Princess Zhao, so that the rift between the emperor and King Jing will worsen, and he can also get rid of me by the way, lest I stay in the prime minister's mansion and disturb his mind. "Looking directly at Nan Wang, Jiang Taohua said word by word:
"The most important thing is probably because of you. It is in your best interest to kill me, Lord Nan."
