Chapter 13 I just ask for His Majesty’s mercy
Lu Xiao's voice was clear and moist.
Jiang Jinshuang turned around and looked intently.
At some point, Lu Xiao was already dressed in white robes, standing behind her with a smooth body.
He dusted his sleeves, and the smile on his lips was just right.
"Your Highness, Su Xiu is willing to follow you."
Hearing this, Jiang Jinshuang glanced at the bustard behind Lu Xiao.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Lu Xiao smiled: "Su Xiu was willing, so he used his savings over the years to redeem himself."
Jiang Jinshuang's eyes widened: "Did you redeem yourself?"
Lu Xiao nodded: "Yes, I just ask His Highness to show mercy and not abandon me."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar and discussed a lot.
"W-what does Mr. Su Xiu see in the princess?"
"That's right! I'm willing to spend all my wealth to redeem myself!"
"Master Su Xiu, such a pure and charming person, actually wants to go with her!"
"..."
Jiang Jinshuang clearly heard those comments, but she just smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Su Xiu, I will live up to you."
After saying that, Lu Xiao bowed his hands in the direction of the bustard mother and said goodbye. Jiang Jinshuang took Lu Xiao and prepared to leave.
But as soon as she took a few steps out, she was stopped by Pei Du from behind.
"Your Highness."
His voice was cold and low, and his emotions were unclear.
Jiang Jinshuang stopped but did not look back.
Fallen flowers are colorful.
The bluestone road in front of the Nanfeng Pavilion is paved with a shallow layer of peach petals.
It is deeper and more exposed, and when one steps on those petals, one can even feel some moisture.
The petals stained with soil brushed past his shoes, and the dust and dirt seemed to have nothing to do with him.
for a long time.
"Chang'an is different from Bai Yujing. Your Highness's behavior should be more thorough."
"Thank you, Mr. Chief Assistant, for reminding me."
Jiang Jinshuang chuckled and led Lu Xiao out of Nanfeng Pavilion.
The huge pavilion was decorated with lights and colorful, and it was as lively as a ghost.
——
When Jiang Jinshuang returned to the princess mansion, Chuntao saw the man following her at a glance.
Her eyes widened and she stammered: "Your Highness, Your Highness! This young master is..."
"You can call him Su Xiu for now," Jiang Jinshuang ordered. "Go and clean up the side hall for Young Master Su. Young Master Su will stay here for one night."
"Yes."
Chuntao didn't dare to ask anything and stepped back cautiously.
In the main hall, Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "His Highness just said...'stay one night'?"
Jiang Jinshuang nodded as expected: "Of course, it's too late today, so you can stay at home for now."
"I will ask someone to find a house for you tomorrow."
Lu Xiao raised his lips and said in a bright voice: "Your Highness...don't you plan to keep me in your house?"
When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she frowned and shook her head seriously: "No."
"Why?"
"I have just returned to Beijing now. Many pairs of eyes are watching. I want to overturn the case three years ago. I am taking risks and facing many difficulties."
Lu Xiao chuckled: "Your Highness regrets it?"
Jiang Jinshuang sighed: "I mean, I can be in danger, but I want to keep you safe."
As if he didn't expect Jiang Jinshuang to say this, the smile on Lu Xiao's lips froze for a moment.
He pursed his lips slightly, and a flash of emotion flashed in his eyes: "Does Your Highness trust me so much?"
After hearing this, Jiang Jinshuang lowered her eyes and smiled: "Lu Xiao, I know you can't completely trust me yet."
"I can wait until you believe me and then tell me what you know."
Lu Xiao's posture was upright, and his originally gentle and elegant eyes were a little more calm.
The candlelight in the main hall flickered a few times.
"I heard that before the general was executed, His Highness went to see him in prison." Jiang Jinshuang did not hide anything and nodded: "Well, the conspiracy case back then was complicated and confusing, and the emperor's uncle must have some inside information."< br>
"I went to see the emperor's uncle at that time, just to see if I could find some clues to help him solve the case."
Lu Xiao said calmly: "What did the general say to His Highness?"
Jiang Jinshuang shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "He just pulled me and said with a smile that I had grown taller again and told me to eat more meat and not get sick."
The parents are short-sighted, Jiang Buhuo and Jiang Jinshuang gave many instructions.
But he kept silent about the conspiracy.
Lu Xiao looked at the graceful girl in front of him and said after a while: "Your Highness, you know that King Ruiyang died three years ago and his military talisman was confiscated. King Ruiyang's 200,000 black-armored cavalry are still guarding the northern border. They cannot obey orders. Listen to the announcement.”
Jiang Jinshuang's eyelashes trembled a few times: "Yes, I know."
After the emperor's uncle died, the military talisman was supposed to be in the hands of the Tian family, but who knew that the military talisman disappeared the next day and disappeared!
King Ruiyang's 200,000 black-armored cavalry will only obey the emperor's orders if they don't see the military talisman. But if they have the tiger talisman in hand, they will only obey the orders of the one who holds the tiger talisman.
——In other words, whoever has the Tiger Talisman can command these two hundred thousand invincible black armored cavalry.
Lu Xiao paused, and he observed Jiang Jinshuang's expression calmly: "Does your Highness know where this military talisman is now?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Jiang Jinshuang shook his head: "Ever since I learned that the Tiger Talisman disappeared, I sent people to look for it secretly, but after so many years, there is still no news."
Naturally, she is not the only one who wants to retrieve the Tiger Talisman.
Above the government and the public, there is a turbulent undercurrent of power, and officials are all over the place.
In the past few years, during her search for the tiger talisman, she had encountered many forces, all of whom were not ordinary people.
——There are too many people who want to get these 200,000 black armored knights.
Not noticing anything strange on Jiang Jinshuang's body, Lu Xiao bowed slightly and said, "The Tiger Talisman is particularly important to our black armored cavalry. If Your Highness has any news about the Tiger Talisman, please be sure to inform me."
"I understand."
After chatting with Lu Xiao for a few more words, Jiang Jinshuang asked someone to take Lu Xiao down to rest.
Not long after Lu Xiao left, the candle shadow in the main hall shook, and a black shadow appeared next to Jiang Jinshuang.
The man held the sword with both hands and said in a cold tone: "He is lying."
Jiang Jinshuang smiled indifferently: "He doesn't trust me, so it's reasonable for him to tell lies."
After all, they had only met once before.
Her previous reputation was bad and her character was bad. It would be good for Lu Xiao to be cautious.
The man in black didn't say anything after hearing this.
The night wind blew along the courtyard into the main hall, and the man's high ponytail fluttered gently.
I took a look at the sky outside and saw a hint of fish belly white faintly visible in the distance.
It's almost dawn.
Jiang Jinshuang stretched and asked with a smile: "When will Si Ning arrive in the capital?"
"The day after tomorrow."
Calculating the time, Jiang Jinshuang was a little surprised: "Can we arrive on the same day as the Yichun Banquet?"
The man in black nodded imperceptibly.
"That's all. Si Ning is not in good health to begin with. It won't be a big deal if it's delayed."
Not hearing the man in black speak, Jiang Jinshuang asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Someone was watching just now."
When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she frowned slightly: "Has our conversation been heard?"
"No, it's far away. You shouldn't hear anything."
Jiang Jinshuang heard this and muttered in confusion: "Why are you monitoring me when you can't hear anything?"
——
Wenshan Pavilion, study room.
"The Mr. Su and His Royal Highness the Princess stayed in the main hall for a while and then left."
"I never appeared next to His Highness again."
Jingmo lowered his head and reported respectfully.
In front of the desk, the man looked at the books in his hands and said in an indifferent tone: "I know, let's go down."
"Yes."
The window is bright and clean, with purple smoke swaying.
Paper rustled, and the man's eyes involuntarily shifted to the corner of the table.
In the white jade vase above the table, there are several brightly blooming peach blossom branches.
——Pei Du doesn’t like peach blossoms.
