Chapter 54 I like to beat up mandarin ducks the most~
unlucky.
Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows, lowered her eyes to look at the fragile and helpless woman in front of her, and crossed her chest with her hands in a leisurely manner.
There was no one around in the spacious palace, and even the servants who came and went deliberately avoided the two of them.
"Miss Xia, didn't Pei Du make it clear to you?"
Xia Yurong bit her lips lightly, with tears in her eyes: "What?"
"Let you stay away from me. I am too lazy to deal with you."
With that said, Jiang Jinshuang raised her feet to leave.
But behind her, Xia Yurong's voice was a little louder: "Sister, are you still blaming me for taking Brother Pei away from you?"
Jiang Jinshuang closed her eyes slightly, her patience running out.
"Yu Rong admits that Yu Rong should not have fallen in love with Brother Pei when she was still a maid in the Princess Mansion. But at that time, sister, you were so insistent on Brother Pei that I really couldn't bear it..."
Having said this, Xia Yurong bit her lip slightly, her eyes clear and innocent: "Your Highness, you know that Brother Pei has no intention of you, but please let go and make Brother Pei and I happy..."
Jiang Jinshuang snorted slightly and leaned forward slightly, with coolness and ridicule in her eyes: "Don't Miss Xia know that what I like to do most is to beat up mandarin ducks?"
She raised her chin and said in a cold tone: "I put my words here. As long as I am alive, you two can't make it happen."
After a pause, as if remembering something interesting, Jiang Jinshuang smiled: "Since Miss Xia and Lord Chief Assistant are so in love, why not go and beg your brother Pei to see if he is willing to take you as a concubine? Room?”
Hearing this, Xia Yurong seemed to be greatly humiliated. Her eyes widened with disbelief: "There is no way I will marry Brother Pei as a concubine."
Looking at the righteous and serious Xia Yurong in front of her, Jiang Jinshuang laughed unconsciously.
Xia Yurong bit her lip slightly: "Why are you smiling, Your Highness?"
Jiang Jinshuang sighed lightly and looked at Xia Yurong with undisguised mockery in her eyes: "Xia Yurong, I have been wondering if I have pampered you."
Xia Yurong was stunned and did not react: "What does this mean, Your Highness?"
The smile on her face faded, and Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows: "You always tell others that I made you a slave in the princess mansion."
"But in the princess's palace, I only ask you to do light work, and I will not miss out on your food and clothing."
"Later you said you wanted to live in the capital, and I wanted to find you a suitable family to adopt as your adopted daughter, so I put you in touch with the Xia Mansion."
After a pause, Jiang Jinshuang sneered: "If I hadn't saved you, you would have been eaten by those refugees by now."
People's hearts are not enough.
Some people have seen the life of royal nobles and think that they can become one of them.
"Not a concubine?" Jiang Jinshuang sneered, "Miss Xia, have you ever thought that if you weren't my concubine, let alone a concubine, you wouldn't even be qualified to carry Pei Du's shoes."
Xia Yurong stayed with Jiang Jinshuang for two years.
In the past two years, Jiang Jinshuang thought that she had not treated her harshly. Because she had not had a good life in the past, Jiang Jinshuang also took care of her in every possible way in the house.
But instead of being grateful, she actually resented her because she worked as a "servant" in the princess' mansion.
Xia Yurong's face turned ugly.
"Xia Yurong, don't put yourself in the perspective of a victim, no one owes you."
Jiang Jinshuang had told her this before, but obviously Xia Yurong didn't listen.
"What does Your Highness want to prove by saying these words now?" Xia Yurong looked at Jiang Jinshuang steadily, her eyes serious and firm, "No matter what, now I have a heart-to-heart connection with Brother Pei, and His Highness is still entangled with Brother Pei. Aren’t you afraid that others will say you don’t know how to be honest——”
There was a "pop-" sound.
Xia Yurong was slapped to the ground by Jiang Jinshuang.
As this slap fell, Jiang Jinshuang's mood instantly became lighter!
She raised her chin, moved the wrist she had just shot, and looked at Xia Yurong, who was kneeling on the ground, with ridicule and contempt in her eyes: "Xia Yurong, remember, no matter how miserable I am, I am still a princess of the same country."
"And no matter how much you are loved by the Queen Mother, you are nothing more than a daughter of a boudoir."
"There are worlds of difference between you and me," Jiang Jinshuang said coldly, "Being your 'sister' is really priceless."
The fair face quickly swelled with red marks. Xia Yurong touched her red and swollen face and bit her lip, determined not to let her tears fall.
She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Jinshuang decisively: "Yu Rong has remembered the humiliation of kneeling today."
Jiang Jinshuang sneered disapprovingly: "Then you must remember carefully, I can make you kneel down once, and I can make you kneel down thousands of times."
After saying that, Jiang Jinshuang turned and left without giving Xia Yurong a look.
——
As soon as she got the privilege of entering and leaving Dali Temple, Jiang Jinshuang went to the Archives Pavilion of Dali Temple.
After showing the token to the guard, everyone in Dali Temple must have heard that Princess Zhaoming wanted to personally take over the assassination, so they let her in without much obstruction.
In the archives cabinet, various cases and processes recorded in the archives over the past thirty years are displayed from far to near.
If you want older files, you have to go to a storage room farther away.
Shen Huaihe has been the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for more than five years. All cases handled by him in the past few years have been recorded in detail and can be used as testimonies.
According to the year and time placed on the file shelf, Jiang Jinshuang quickly found the case of King Ruiyang three years ago.
In fact, the case of King Ruiyang was originally planned to be handed over to Dali Temple, but evidence of the crime was handed over overnight, and the officials quickly imposed the death penalty.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
——Dali Temple was not even given a chance to intervene.
Jiang Jinshuang opened the file.
A blank.
Apart from the objective description of the events that year, the rest of the sentence and evidence of guilt are all blank.
Jiang Jinshuang frowned, her expression slightly cold.
——Shen Huaihe did not record the decree passed down by His Majesty back then.
Does that mean that Shen Huaihe knows something?
Thinking of this, Jiang Jinshuang held the file's finger bones a little tighter.
The guard's voice came from outside the door.
"I have met the adults."
After hearing this, Jiang Jinshuang hurriedly put the file back to its original place.
The door to the Archives Pavilion was pushed open.
Just now the guard called "Sir", Jiang Jinshuang originally thought it was just Shen Huaihe who came.
——But she never expected that Pei Du would also come to the Archives Pavilion.
Jiang Jinshuang was so happy just now that she almost forgot: in order to get the right to enter and leave the Archives Pavilion, she also promised His Majesty to allow Pei Du to assist her.
Some headache.
Neither of the two people in front of them were wearing official robes.
Shen Huaihe wore an azure round-collared robe. He had half-tied his hair today. A jade crown in the shape of a lotus leaf held his long hair. Even his eyebrows looked gentle.
Pei Du was dressed in a moon-white robe, his eyes were cold and indifferent, like a spotless immortal.
Shen Huaihe was not surprised to see Jiang Jinshuang here.
He bowed slightly towards Jiang Jinshuang: "I have met Her Highness the Princess."
A smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Jinshuang's lips: "Master Shaoqing, and...Master Chief Assistant, why are you two here?"
His Majesty's decree asking Jiang Jinshuang to pursue the assassin on behalf of the Crown Prince has been passed down. Regarding His Majesty's decree, Shen Huaihe did not say much.
"The Chief Assistant just came here with His Majesty's instructions. I also heard that His Highness had come to Dali Temple earlier, so I guessed that His Highness should be in the Archives Pavilion."
Jiang Jinshuang smiled, she glanced at Shen Huaihe, and her eyes slowly moved to Pei Du.
——Since entering the door, his eyes have never fallen on her.
