That night, news that shocked everyone spread throughout the capital. Legend has it that Princess Ji'an lost a box of beautiful jade. The white walls of the jade were flawless. It was the latest output from the mine and was of unparalleled beauty. .
The news spread rapidly among the people, and by the time it reached the Fanzhuang Teahouse, it had become the most common topic of conversation that night.
Who dares to steal Princess Ji'an's things? Or is it such a valuable thing? Don’t you want your head anymore?
Finally, the rumors reached Jingzhao Yin Xu Jingyuan's ears. He did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to the princess's mansion to get confirmation. After it was confirmed that Feng Yuheng had indeed lost a box of beautiful jade, and when he learned that the jade was taken away by a lady who claimed to be the magistrate of Lanzhou in Nirvana Pavilion, he already knew in his heart that this must be a trap done by Feng Yuheng. But he is not afraid of the consequences. He is a subordinate of the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua. Taking the position of Jing Zhaoyin, in addition to ensuring the safety of the people in the capital, he is also responsible for cooperating with Princess Ji'an Feng Yuheng in various matters. .
So Xu Jingyuan nodded and went to handle the case without saying a word.
Huang Quan didn't follow Feng Yuheng during the day, and now he couldn't help but sweat when he heard her say this: "Miss, what if the wife of the Lanzhou magistrate doesn't return it, or breaks the jade?"
Feng Yuheng said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, she doesn't dare."
Just one sentence that she didn't dare to, determined Huang Quan's heart.
At this time, such big news naturally reached the Beijing Post House. As the eve of the lunar month is approaching, and this year's Thousand Weeks Great Victory is approaching, the palace holds a grand banquet, and many officials from other provinces come to the capital. The post house was suddenly filled with people, regardless of big or small officials, they all gathered together and waited for the arrival of the moonlit night.
The news that Princess Ji'an lost the beautiful jade quickly spread here. Everyone who heard about it was guessing what kind of person could lose the beautiful jade under Princess Ji'an's nose. Little did they know that on the third floor of the post house, Mrs. Jiang, the wife of the magistrate of Lanzhou, was looking at a box of white jade with her eyes wide open. She didn't even notice that the maid Jixiang went out and came in again. It wasn't until Jixiang walked up to her quickly and called her twice with a raised voice that she said angrily: "What are you making the noise about? Don't you know that Yu is the most well-informed? If you act like this, you will disturb it. Yu Xinyi If there is chaos, the jade appearance will change accordingly."
How could Jixiang know such profound things? She was just anxious, especially looking at this box of jade, she was even more anxious and stamped her feet. "Madam, I'm afraid we are in trouble."
"Hmm?" Mrs. Jiang didn't understand, "Getting into trouble? What kind of trouble are you getting into?"
"This is this box of jade." Ji Xiang pointed to the things on the table and said, "My wife has been guarding these things since she came back. Naturally, she has not heard the rumors outside. It is said that Ji Xiang in Beijing has been guarding these things since she came back. Princess An lost a box of beautiful jade, and its appearance is 80% similar to our box!"
Miss Jiang frowned when she heard this, "Princess Ji'an? What does the beautiful jade I bought have to do with her?"
Jixiang was so anxious that he had no choice but to remind Mr. Jiang: "Did Madam buy it? Did you give me any money? You didn't even pay an IOU! How did you get this jade? How can you explain it clearly?" ”
"But..." Mrs. Jiang also heard some clues and couldn't help but ask again: "But I didn't see any Princess Ji'an today! Even if this jade belongs to her, someone else stole it first. Then sell the stolen goods to me."
"Oh madam!" Jixiang stamped his foot, "Don't you understand? We were all fooled! The girl selling jade today is probably Princess Ji'an herself! I just went to inquire about it. , that Nirvana Pavilion is a business under the name of Princess Ji'an, she is the owner, so it is very possible to appear there!"
Jiang was horrified, but she still couldn't believe that such a thing could happen in the world. She asked Jixiang: "But Princess Jian and I had no enmity in the past, so why did she want to harm me?"
Jixiang lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Just when Mrs. Jiang was about to ask a few more questions, he saw the little girl in front of her kneeling on the ground. I really made the princess angry."
One sentence brought Jiang's mind back to the scene in the jewelry shop. It didn't matter that he didn't want to think about it, but he couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought about it. Isn't that right? From the beginning, they did not regard each other as equals to themselves, and they made rude remarks many times during this period. Now that I think about it, it is not impossible for them to plot revenge.
Ms. Jiang was a little worried, "What should we do now? Jixiang, get up, the matter has already happened, it's useless for you to kneel down, think about how to solve this matter quickly. How about we do it now? Send the banknote over?"
Ji Xiang said helplessly: "But the master hasn't come back yet, where will the madam collect the 80 million taels?"
Jiang was stunned when she heard this. She didn't have enough money and the things were in her own hands. What did the other party want to do?
"Then Princess Jian is a princess with a different surname, right?" She thought of a key point and asked, "After all, the princess with a different surname is not a real royal person, and she doesn't have much ability after all. Let them go and let the master When you come back, this matter will be decided." The reason why Jiang has so much confidence in his master is because Lanzhou is the southern boundary of Dashun. Although they are all magistrates, how can the magistrates of the border states be the same as those in the middle-earth region? In order to ensure the peace of the border, the imperial court looked at the border state capitals in a different light. Although a magistrate of Lanzhou is not as high as a prime minister, he is still comparable to ordinary first- and second-grade officials. She calmed down and told Jixiang: "Don't worry! It's okay."
Jixiang feels a little powerless. They have been at the southern border all year round, far away from the capital, so naturally they know little about things here. In addition, women don't care about political affairs, so they don't know what everyone in the capital is like. But as soon as she heard the news, she went to inquire about Princess Feng Yuheng of Princess Jian. It was better if she didn't do anything else. After asking about it, the little girl was so frightened that she almost sat down on the ground and cried! She had never imagined that a princess with a different surname would have such a powerful position. What was even more terrible was that not only was she capable of achieving her goals, but her life was also better, and she was actually the future concubine of the Ninth Prince of Hell. No matter how arrogant they are, the Lanzhou magistrate's family, they cannot afford to offend such people!
The little girl was so anxious that she cried. The more she looked at her wife's calm composure, the more anxious she became. So while crying, she told her what she had learned about Feng Yuheng, Princess of Ji'an. , and finally reminded: "Madam, do you still remember how the Duanmu family, the former capital of the three provinces in the Northern Territory, was defeated? It was Princess Ji'an and the Ninth Prince who sent troops to capture the Northern Territory!"
Ms. Jiang's heart trembled when she heard this. How could she, a harem woman far away in the southern border, know about these things? Now it sounded like a fairy tale, and she couldn't believe it at all. "Is there such a woman in the world?"
Jixiang nodded, "Yes, Princess Ji'an is. Master, what should we do? I heard that Princess Ji'an is very petty and will retaliate. She let it out and said that she lost the beautiful jade, which is clear. They are declaring war on us! What if the master comes back later..."
Just as he was talking, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open with a "bang". The two people in the room were startled, and they saw Ji Lingtian, the magistrate of Lanzhou, pushed the door open and came in with a gloomy face, and his eyes were fixed on the table. The box of white jade on the top.
Jiang subconsciously covered the jade with her arms and timidly called: "Master!"
Ji Lingtian signaled to the servants following him to close the door. He quickly stepped forward and pulled Jiang away. When he looked into the box, he couldn't help but pound the table, "I remember you said you were going out to buy jewelry this morning. After hearing about this, I was afraid that you would go to the jewelry shop opened by the princess, but I didn't expect that you would go anyway." He loved this eldest lady very much. After all, they were a young couple, even though there were countless people in his family now. Beautiful concubine, this first wife is still the most important person in his heart. "Why are you so confused, madam? Since you know that Nirvana Pavilion is the largest and best jewelry store in the capital, why don't you ask who owns it? How can someone who runs the best store in the capital be an unknown person?" Generations."
Ms. Jiang was also very aggrieved, with tears in her eyes, "It's just a piece of jewelry. How could I have imagined that there was such a big shot behind the scenes, and how could I have imagined that the noble princess would not stay in the house honestly, but actually... Hanging out with a man? Wait..." She suddenly paused, and recalling the scene during the day, she couldn't help but ask: "A princess actually had a private meeting with a man?"
Ji Lingtian was confused when he heard this, "Why are you having a private meeting with a man?"
Jixiang also reacted at this time and quickly described the man who was with Feng Yuheng during the day to Ji Lingtian. They originally thought that this was a reason to catch Feng Yuheng, and they thought that if the other party pushed too hard, they could threaten him. But he didn't expect that the more he said these words, the more ugly Ji Lingtian's face became, and he even turned pale in the end.
He asked: "You said that man was wearing a purple robe and was handsome?"
Jixiang nodded, "Exactly."
Ji Lingtian sighed, "It's okay to be handsome, but do you know what that purple robe represents?" Seeing the two of them dumbfounded, he continued: "The Ninth Prince preferred purple at that time and always wore purple clothes. Nothing has changed in so many years. Thinking about how Princess Jian could have a private meeting with another man, the man beside her must be the Ninth Prince."
While he was talking, there was a lot of noise outside, as if a large group of people were rushing into the post house. The entourage brought by Ji Lingtian came to the door and took a look, then turned back and said: "My lord and madam, it's bad, they are officers and soldiers."
As soon as they finished speaking, the officers and soldiers were already on the third floor and rushed towards the room where they were.
Jiang was powerless to defend herself against Jingzhao Yin Xu Jingyuan's personal arrest. Ji Lingtian could not influence Xu Jingyuan's law enforcement. He could only watch his wife and maid Ji Xiang being taken away. He could only say one thing to Xu Jingyuan: "I will give an explanation to the princess on this matter. I also hope that Sir Xu will work hard while I am stationed in the southern border and will not embarrass my wife."
The officers and soldiers came and went as quickly as they came, and within a short time, the post house returned to its usual calm.
Ji Lingtian sat in the room with a frown, thinking repeatedly about where to start with this matter. He also remembered what the Eighth Prince, who had been stationed in the chaotic area of Biannan, told him when he came to the capital. He should keep a low profile when going to Beijing, especially don't conflict with Lao Jiu and his wife. Good times will come later, so don't rush for the moment. Unfortunately, something bad happened to his wife.
Ji Lingtian clenched his fist and punched the table hard, "Princess Ji'an, how dare you lay such a trap for me, do you really think that everyone is afraid of you?"
