Her guards

Chapter 219 Miss Jiang's Request

Jiang Rui came to the outside of the Academy of Chinese Studies once again. She looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost dusk.

She came here three times today, and each time she had a different feeling.

Initially anxious and resentful, she said nothing. Then, panic set in, and she couldn't say anything. At this moment, she was dazed and confused, with no chance to say anything she wanted to say.

Because the maid Ah Sheng brought them, but told them to wait while she went to ask her mistress, and then came back to say that Miss Yang was missing.

"Oh, the chief priest is back, checking the young lady's homework." The maid, Asheng, looked distressed. "The young lady was delayed by something and is now busy catching up on her studies."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Rui, Yuan Cheng, Zhu Yunxiao and the others.

"Just do as Young Master Zhu said before. You can thank my young lady outside the door, and I will pass on the message."

Zhu Yunxiao glanced at Asheng, then at Jiang Rui, and said softly, "That's fine then. It's enough that the sentiment has been expressed."

Jiang Rui looked at Yuan Cheng: "Uncle Yuan, let's express our gratitude here."

Yuan Cheng nodded and bowed deeply towards the door.

Jiang Rui and Zhu Yunxiao both bowed in response.

The maid stood at the door, curtsied, and turned to go inside.

"Arui, let's go home quickly, I'm going to see Ameng," Zhu Yunxiao said urgently.

Yuan Cheng spoke first: "A-Meng is fine. She is being cared for by military doctors and imperial physicians. Prince Zhu, why don't you come with us to investigate the origins of the thieves?"

Zhu Yunxiao nodded and said okay, then looked at Jiang Rui: "Arui, you should go back first. Your aunt must be very worried."

Jiang Rui, who seemed lost and dazed, seemed to finally come to her senses when she heard the word "mother." She nodded and got into the car without Zhu Yunxiao's help.

"I'll come see you when I'm done with my work."

Zhu Yunxiao only had time to say one sentence before Jiang Rui's carriage sped away under the escort of the Changshui Camp guards.

"Your Highness," Yuan Cheng said, mounting his horse. "Let's start from where the incident occurred."

Zhu Yunxiao said "Okay," mounted his horse, and followed Yuan Cheng away.

……

……

"This must have been done by Zhu Yunxiao!"

Inside the National Academy dormitory, Yang Luo looked at Mo Zheng writing and said.

"Although he didn't admit it, his words implied that Miss Yang would benefit greatly from Jiang Rui's death."

He gritted his teeth and spoke with resentment.

"He killed for himself, but he insisted on saying it was for Miss Yang."

Mo Zheng put down her pen and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I've known what kind of person he is for a long time."

Yang Luo lowered his eyes and said softly, "But even knowing what kind of person he is, we still can't get rid of him for the time being."

First, there was no conclusive evidence; second, Zhu Yunxiao was used to incite the Li and Chai families.

She feared that immediately eliminating Zhu Yunxiao would cause unrest in the power struggle between Lady Li and Marquis Yichun...

Although Consort Li is dead, the Marquis of Yichun's power has not diminished and he still poses a great threat to her.

Mo Zheng said, "The situation is alright now."

"Are you alright?" Yang Luo looked at her anxiously and expectantly.

“Jiang Rui died silently in her previous life,” Mo Zheng said. “In this life, she was framed twice but was thwarted. This time, in particular, she and those who truly cared about her saw the danger.”

I chuckled as I said this.

"They will all be on high alert, and it won't be so easy for Zhu Yunxiao to harm Jiang Rui again."

"I see," Yang Luo said thoughtfully. "So that's why you specifically called the people from Changshui Camp to save Jiang Meng this time."

When she returned, Mo Zheng told her that she had indeed had the Imperial Guards notify the people of Changshui Camp, but she had already rescued the person before the notification.

She was the one who instructed Jiang Rui and the people of Changshui Camp to keep this matter a secret.

“That’s right.” Mo Zheng smiled, holding her pen. “Didn’t Zhu Yunxiao say that the people of Changshui Camp are loyal to the Jiang family and that it would be very beneficial to subdue them? Of course, I have to come and rescue them myself.”

"That's not all," Yang Luo smiled at Mo Zheng. "Even if there's no benefit, A Sheng isn't the kind of person who would just stand by and watch someone die."

……

……

Night fell over the courtyard, and all was quiet.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Meng let out a soft gasp, raising her hand beside her to grasp...

"elder sister-"

Sitting by the bed, Jiang Rui quickly grabbed her hand and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your sister is here."

Jiang Meng opened her eyes groggily, looking at Jiang Rui in the dim light with a somewhat blank expression, as if she didn't know what day it was. The next moment, her eyes focused, and she struggled to get up.

"Sister!" she cried, "You—"

But when she exerted force, the pain from her leg and body injuries caused her to cry out and fall to the ground.

Jiang Rui repeatedly reassured her, "Don't move, you're injured. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm fine. Besides, Uncle Yuan sent a lot of people to guard the house, so the bad guys won't dare to come..."

"Sister! I'm not afraid!" Jiang Meng shouted, her face pale from the pain, but her eyes were filled with excitement as she grabbed Jiang Rui's hand. "Did you see that? Miss Yang can fly! She flew down and caught me in mid-air!"

Jiang Rui was taken aback by what she said, her heart softening. Her sister was stronger than she had imagined.

Surprisingly, I wasn't afraid, but rather excited.

Jiang Rui wanted to laugh, and gently stroked her cheek: "I not only saw her leap off the cliff to save you, but I also saw how she killed those three thieves."

He even gestured with his hand as he spoke.

She leaped from her horse, flicked her wrist, and a throwing knife flew out, piercing the thief's throat!

Jiang Meng's eyes lit up. She was so dizzy that she couldn't see anything and didn't even know when Miss Yang arrived.

It turns out that Miss Yang also killed the thief!
"Was she afraid when she killed him?" Jiang Meng asked excitedly again.

Jiang Rui shook her head: "I'm not scared, she's even smiling."

Jiang Meng murmured, "She really wasn't lying, she's really amazing." Then she grabbed Jiang Rui's hand, "Sister, can I go see her? I...I want to thank her!"

Jiang Rui gently placed her hand down and smiled, saying she could. "But you need to recover first," she said softly. "How about you sleep a little longer and then take your medicine?"

Jiang Meng nodded, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and although she was a little excited, she quickly fell into a deep sleep due to her injury and the medication she had taken.

Jiang Rui sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her younger sister whose brows furrowed from time to time due to the pain, and said softly, "A-Meng, you are also very amazing."

Her sister saved her!

If my sister hadn't used a slingshot to shoot the thief, causing him to drop her, she would have been the one captured... no, she was the one they were originally going to capture.

If she were captured, she knew Jiang Meng's stubbornness; she wouldn't ask for help but would chase after her herself. In that case, both sisters would be doomed.

Those thieves were quick to flee and even kill.

Fortunately, Ms. Yang was faster.

He didn't even go all the way to the National Academy to meet her.

After running around unsteadily for a short while, Miss Yang appeared with seven or eight people.

Miss Yang was wearing a veil, and before she could even see her clearly, she pulled her onto the horse.

“Point the way!” she said.

Her horse runs so fast!

Jiang Rui felt like she was flying. In fact, apart from pointing in a direction at the beginning, she didn't know which direction the thief went afterward, but Miss Yang seemed to know everything.

"Look at the horse's hooves!"

"The Taste of Ginger"

“There’s a commotion among the birds over there.”

She kept shouting to the group around her, and they were flung out and pulled back like whips in her hand. Her direction kept changing, and soon Jiang Rui saw the figures of the three thieves in her sight—

so fast!
Everything seemed to happen in an instant!

The thief kidnapped the younger sister, and in the blink of an eye, she and Miss Yang caught up. In the next blink, Miss Yang killed the thief. In the next blink, Miss Yang jumped off the cliff with the younger sister, who had been thrown off by the thief before he died. In the next blink, Miss Yang came up carrying her younger sister, who was covered in blood from being hit by rocks...

My sister is still alive.

Jiang Rui reached out and covered her face to stop the tears from flowing.

Miss Yang is amazing!

"Yes, I'm very good."

Miss Yang's smiling face reappeared in her mind's eye.

"But you have to keep it a secret, don't let anyone know how amazing I am."

Aside from her hidden abilities, she is already very capable; otherwise, how could she be the disciple of the chief priest?

Everyone previously thought Ms. Yang was arrogant, but in fact she was actually very humble.

Jiang Rui couldn't help but laugh again.

As she laughed, she suddenly stood up, turned around, and went outside.

The voices of maids could be heard outside the door.

"Miss, are you going to rest?"

"Miss, please have something to eat..."

"Oh, miss, where are you going?"

……

……

"Miss Jiang is here again?"

As dawn broke, Mo Zheng, who had just gotten up and was stretching, heard Yang Luo come in and say something.

“Just her alone,” Yang Luo said. “The guards outside said they were waiting outside before dawn.”

Mo Zheng smiled and said, "Let her in. We didn't see them yesterday because Zhu Yunxiao was there, so we didn't give him a chance."

Yang Luo nodded and personally went outside to fetch Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui saw Miss Yang sitting and combing her hair, with books, paper, and pens scattered on the table...

“Miss Jiang, you’ve already thanked me,” Mo Zheng said with a smile. “You can’t thank me every day.”

Jiang Rui looked at her, then suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

Mo Zheng chuckled, "This is even a grand ceremony of kowtowing..."

“I’m not here to thank you,” Jiang Rui said, looking up. “I’m here to ask for your help.”

Help? Mo Zheng looked at Yang Luo, who also looked puzzled.

"Miss Jiang, just tell His Majesty what you need," Yang Luo said calmly. "His Majesty will send people to look after you now."

Jiang Rui shook her head, looking at Miss Yang who was sitting down.

"I would like to ask Ms. Yang for help so that I can become as capable as you."

"To become someone who can save my sister and not be a burden to her."

"Become someone who doesn't panic or feel helpless when faced with problems, and can only rely on others."

When Jiang Rui thought back to the moment she saw her sister being taken away, her heart was filled with thoughts of Zhu Yunxiao, but Zhu Yunxiao was so far away...

And what if, after I find him, he says, "Ah Rui, I'm busy and can't see you..."

The person she once relied on has become unreliable to her these days.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like to hear those words.

So she changed direction...

Thus she also saw that there was such a remarkable woman in the world.

Jiang Rui looked at Miss Yang sitting down, then bowed and kowtowed again, her voice hoarse.

"I want to become someone amazing in my sister's eyes."

He is no longer the person his younger sister constantly thinks about and protects.
