Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 191 Ying Shang 2

Under the instigation of the Princess of Ji'an County, Yuan Ying told Ji'an that the jade seal was given to Jiang Feng.

Yuan Ying wanted to come forward to ask Jiang Feng for the imperial seal, but Ji An said that if she showed up, he was afraid that Jiang Feng would get into trouble, and he assured her several times that he would never hurt Jiang Feng.

Therefore, the Princess of Ji'an County pulled Shen Guxing into the game.

Her original intention was to take both the imperial seal and the man, but she didn't expect that Jiang Feng would be one step ahead and give the imperial seal to Li Longye.

She then instigated Yuan Ying, saying that Jiang Feng had broken his promise and acted treacherously for the sake of family honor and personal gain.

Yuan Ying naturally didn't believe it.

Ji'an began to lobby Mingque again. Mingque also felt sorry for Yuanying, she had endured the pain that Jiang Feng should have endured, trapped in purgatory, but that woman married into a wealthy family and was dazzling.

So, she carried out the hunting in Zhongnan Mountain without telling Yuan Ying.

Once, Yuan Ying accidentally saw a man visiting the Princess of Ji'an at night.

The man had a tall stature and a face like Pan An, but to her he was the King of Hell.

It was that man who kidnapped Yuan Ying and Ming Que and tortured them until they were neither human nor ghost!

Only then did Yuan Ying realize that she had fallen into Ji'an's trap.

Just then, news came from the court that His Majesty intended to pass the throne to Crown Prince Li Longji. She remembered the agreement with Jiang Feng and decided to withdraw.

But somehow, she got news that Ji An was going to harm Jiang Feng, so she had to continue to pretend to be nice.

By the time she knew that they were going to attack Jiang Feng after Mrs. Zhong Shaojing's grass-fighting banquet, she had already been exposed and couldn't escape.

Only one magpie escaped and ran to tell Guan Shanyun the news.

Guan Shanyun got the letter and set out quickly, thus saving Jiang Feng's life.

When he rescued Jiang Feng and went to rescue Yuan Ying according to the address provided by Mingque, the place was already deserted.

Guan Shanyun used all his connections to find Yuan Ying and finally got the news that a female corpse had been transferred to the charity cemetery, with a tragic death.

Sure enough, it was Yuan Ying who was murdered.

After Ming Que finished telling them what happened, she was already in tears. She wailed in pain and beat Jiang Feng unwillingly: "Why! Why!"

Jiang Feng let her beat her and she couldn't answer.

Every time she encountered danger, every time she thought of the trouble the jade seal had caused her, she hated Yuan Ying and hated her for entrusting that thing to her.

Especially when she knew that Yuan Ying had once wanted to kill her and even blamed her for not being able to keep the imperial seal, her hatred became even stronger.

But when she paid for her life, she felt really ashamed of herself. Compared with Yuan Ying, she was always a timid coward.

She was a villain in vain!

Seeing that Mingque was becoming more and more crazy and unconscious, Guan Shanyun knocked her out with a knife and had someone take her to rest.

There were only two people left, and Jiang Feng's tears rolled down under Guan Shanyun's gentle gaze.

Guan Shanyun could not suppress his emotion, with regret and love mixed together, and finally he held her in his arms.

She had not shed a single tear since Jiang's mother passed away. But now, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

The next morning, Jiang Feng asked Youran to put on some light makeup for her. Then, facing the bronze mirror, she put on the white jade hairpin that her mother loved the most when she was alive.

First go to kowtow to Old Lady Jiang, she is very ill.

Then she went to Jiang's father's place, where Jiang's father was talking to Jiang Youzheng with a serious look. When they saw her come in, they smiled and carefully comforted her.

Finally, they went to Jiang Zuo's room. Jiang Zuo carried the coffin back home, and only Zhang Yuyue was coaxing the child.

The originally wrinkled little girl is becoming more and more beautiful, and looks more and more like Jiang Feng.

The aunt and sister-in-law chatted for a while before Jiang Feng said that he wanted to go to the temple to light a perpetual lamp for Jiang's mother.

Zhang Yuyue's eyes were slightly red, and she said, "I have not been feeling well these days, and I am afraid of offending the Buddha. You must wait for me for two days, and I will go with you."

Jiang Feng said, "But I can't wait any longer. I can go with my sister-in-law once she gets better."

Zhang Yuyue knew that Jiang's mother had been feeling depressed about her mother's death, so it was not appropriate to stop her at this time, so she sent the maids and servants to follow her.

Jiang Feng refused and only said that Li Longye would go with him.

After he went out, Li Bian and the guards of the palace followed him.

Jiang Feng said to Li Bian, "I am going to the temple to light the eternal lamp. Give me your horse. If you are worried, send someone else to accompany me."

Li Bei's expression remained unchanged: "The prince has ordered that I cannot leave the girl's side for even a step."

Jiang Feng sighed, took out a letter, and said, "Give this to the prince. The content of the letter is very important, and I don't want to let others do it."

Li Xian thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the girl going to light the eternal lamp?"

Jiang Feng said: "Who else? Ganye Temple!"

Li Xian said, "All four of them are with the girl. After I deliver the letter, I will go to Ganye Temple to meet you immediately."

After saying that, both teams rode their horses in two directions without hesitation.

Li Bian didn't know that Jiang Feng turned his horse around at the end of the road and ran in another direction.

Baoji Temple doesn't look like a temple at all, but rather like a magnificent palace.

Jiang Feng got off his horse, and two monks came up to him, saying bluntly: "This is a nobleman's private nunnery, outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Jiang Feng pointed with his whip and said, "Whether it's a Bodhisattva or an evil ghost inside, tell her that there are two wronged souls who need her to save their souls!"

The two monks looked at each other.

Someone went in to report.

After a while, the door of the nunnery opened and Jiang Feng stepped in fearlessly.

Two women dressed as nuns came forward and searched him. They took away a dagger and a bag of mixed powder.

The guards from Prince Xue's mansion were stopped outside.

The interior of Baoji Temple is more like a paradise on earth. Pavilions, towers, flowing water, carved beams and painted pillars are all worldly wealth, without any trace of spiritual practice.

There was a sound of flute coming from the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix". Jiang Feng was led by someone, following the sound of the flute, to the meditation room of the Princess of Ji'an County.

Someone in black clothes and a black hat came out of the meditation room in a hurry. Jiang Feng didn't see his face clearly, but he felt that his movements were familiar.

It turned out that he was also an old acquaintance: Princess Taiping’s male favorite and now one of the six prime ministers, Cui Shi.

She was not wrong. The "An Qing" in the correspondence between Cui Shi and Zheng Yin was the Princess of Ji'an County.

When Princess Ji'an saw that Zheng Yin had a miscarriage, she was not frightened by the cruel torture of lingchi, but was worried that her conspiracy would be exposed.

Jiang Feng walked into the Zen room calmly.

The jade flute that Ji'an played was exactly the same one that Princess Taiping played with Shen Guxing in her villa that day.

The Princess of Ji'an County kept playing the flute, and Jiang Feng sat on the futon.

A nun brought tea to Jiang Feng, and he did not refuse. He just raised his hand and drank.

Today's piano music, perhaps because there is no accompaniment of the Yaoqin, unexpectedly has a sense of desolation and solemnity in this magnificent scene of early spring.

The song is over.

Someone came up and took the jade flute away.

The Princess of Ji'an sat across from Jiang Feng and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that the tea might be poisonous?"

Jiang Feng smiled and replied: "When the county lady does something, she always wants to clear herself of all charges. In your territory, you poisoned someone..."

Jiang Feng shook his head and said sarcastically: "It wasn't the county lady's doing!"
