C45 The Mysterious Man Peeped at the Orange Fungus at Night

When Jiegeng opened her eyes, the sky was already bright.

"Jiegeng, you finally woke up!" She did not see him, but heard his voice. Rani Yi's worried voice immediately entered Jiegeng's ears.

"Aunt?" Jiegeng sat up and only then did she see Rani Yi who was guarding by the bed.

"Why don't all of you let me worry? "Rani Yi's face was mixed with worry and anger. "Not only did Shihan not find anyone from yesterday until today, even you have been injured frequently."

"Sister Shihan disappeared again?" Jiegeng was not surprised. In the short period of time that she lived in King Yi's Mansion, Duan Shihan had already been unable to find anyone for several times, two or three days.

"I also do not know if the two of you sisters made an appointment to work together to anger me!" Rani Yi was angry.

Due to Duan Shihan having too many previous offenses and with Yue secretly protecting her, Rani Yi was not very worried about her but this repeatedly injured Jiegeng made her very worried.

"Aunt knows that you like Zhen'an King so these few days you have been running to Zhen'an King's Mansion every day. I will not say much." Rani Yi was serious.

"Aunt, what are you talking about?" This was the first time Rani Yi had exposed the matter between her and Duan Shuang. Jiegeng was still a little embarrassed. After all, she was the first elder to directly ask about it.

However, Rani Yi could be considered to be open-minded. Ever since she found out about the news that Duan Shuang deliberately made it public at Eldest Imperial Princess's banquet, not only did she not ask about Jiegeng's feelings, she also did not ask about it. He had even faintly restrained Eldest Imperial Princess. This was to prevent this matter from quickly causing a huge uproar in the royal family. It had given Jiegeng sufficient time to calm down.

"But in the future, you should not be together with Zhen'an King." Rani Yi suddenly changed the topic. "Both of your assassinations were related to that kid. Such a dangerous person, no matter how much you like him, you can't think about it."

"No, Aunt..." Jiegeng was anxious. Only now did she know that Rani Yi misunderstood these two incidents. These two assassinations were clearly aimed at her. Duan Shuang saved her every time.

"Alright, there is no need to discuss this matter." It was rare for Rani Yi to have such an obedient attitude towards Jiegeng.

Jiegeng also hesitated. She could tell that Rani Yi really cared about her so Jiegeng did not say anything as she was not willing to let Rani Yi know the truth.

Jiegeng nodded her head. At this moment, the best method was to follow the elders' wishes. Anyway, they would not be able to leave these few days, so they should just treat it as recovering well.

Jiegeng's obedience formed a sharp contrast with Shihan's rebellious actions. Rani Yi also felt at ease as she rubbed Jiegeng's head.

After Rani Yi left, Jiegeng took out the medicinal wine that Duan Shuang gave him and lifted her left foot. She smiled sweetly.

"You are injured and you are still so happy? You are really strange." A teasing voice came from outside the door.

Jiegeng stuck her head out and saw that it was actually Jiang Wanxin.

"Why are you here?" Jiegeng was overjoyed. "Oh right, I didn't even have time to ask you last night. Are you hurt?" Jiegeng lifted the blanket and hurriedly got off the bed.

"You have to be careful of your feet." Jiang Wanxin sneered.

"My feet are nothing. It's just that His Royal Highness is making a big deal out of it." Remembering that Jiang Wanxin was also present last night, Jiegeng's heart was extremely ashamed. "Quickly sit down. Xia, quickly prepare the tea fruits. "

"I'm not injured. If you hadn't protected me last night, I wouldn't have been able to escape calamity." Jiang Wanxin sat beside Jiegeng.

"I am afraid this is the first time that someone who knows me on the first day has stood up for me. Thank you, Jiegeng." Jiang Wanxin was sincerely moved by Jiegeng's actions last night.

"Don't say that. If I didn't get into your carriage, you wouldn't have been frightened." Jiegeng felt guilty, "In the end, these people came for me. It was me who implicated you."

Jiang Wanxin didn't think it was a big deal. Among the people she knew before, under such circumstances, if she didn't push her out and escape, it would already be a "kindness" in her heart, not to mention protecting her behind her back.

"Wanxin, why did you come to find me today?" Jiegeng asked.

"I know you hurt your leg and was afraid that you would be bored, so I came to talk to you. Why? You don't welcome me?" Jiang Wanxin took a ginger plum fruit.

"Of course not. You are the first person in the capital to come and find my friend. I am grateful to you!" Jiegeng smiled.

"By the way, I will help Jing Anshi to the poor villages in the outskirts of the city to give rice and crops seeds to him in a few days. Are you willing to come along? You have medical skills, and you can treat those people. " Jiang Wanxin sent an invitation to Jiegeng.

"Of course I am willing. But are there such poor families in the villages near the capital?" Jiegeng thought that the people under the Son of Heaven's feet, even if they were not rich and wealthy, would not have to worry about food and clothing.

"Why not?" Jiang Wanxin shook her head. "Although it is close to the capital, the land around here is the private property of the powerful. The land that ordinary people can use to work is rare. Even if the wealthy families rent out the land, the rent they collect will take up more than half of the year of hard work. Once they encounter a natural or man-made disaster, the people in the villages will suffer even more."

" Is there really no good official in the capital who can do things for them? " Jiegeng was immediately filled with righteous indignation.

"How can it be that easy? The powerful and influential people in the capital protected each other from head to toe. Furthermore, they did not violate any of the laws. Even if they wanted to, they would not be able to do so." Jiang Wanxin explained in detail.

Jiang Wanxin had been intelligent since she was young and had been nurtured by the people of Jiang family as the next "Empress." Fortunately, Jiang Wanxin was weak since she was young and was often sent to Master Jing An's place to rest. This was the reason why she was spared from the tragic fate of being a daughter of the family and burned her life in the harem without any value. She left behind tears of sorrow.

"Alright, three days later, I'll come here to pick you up." Jiang Wanxin smiled gently.

That night, Jiegeng was bored alone in her yard, looking up at the stars. In the evening, Xia ordered people to move the chaise concubines to the courtyard. Jiegeng was also comfortably lying on it.

It was a pity that Ms Shihan was not in the residence at the moment, otherwise she could discuss with her now and ask what she should do next.

In Jiegeng's heart, the method that Duan Shihan gave her last time was quite effective.

"Who?" Jiegeng was originally just looking at the sky when she suddenly got up to get some snacks when she suddenly saw a figure flash past the chair in the shadow of a big tree.

"Miss Biao? What's the matter?" Xia heard the news and rushed over.

"Nothing much, you can leave first." Jiegeng chased Xia away.

"Now that there is no one else, can you show yourself?" Jiegeng waited for Xia to leave and asked again in the direction of the tree. It had been a long time since they had done anything to hurt him. She guessed that the other party was not an enemy.

But after a long time, that person still did not appear.
