Chapter 597 Jiang Lingzhou knows Shen Zhinian’s identity
They said they had no idea that the person was Concubine Xian. Would anyone believe it?
At first, Zhan Weiran certainly didn't believe it. He just thought that these people were making up excuses to torture them!
However... when the punishment was severe, everyone's confession was the same, they really didn't know the identity of Concubine Xian!
Zhan Weiran then began to believe it a little.
It turns out that when people are extremely speechless, they really can't help but laugh.
"...You don't even know the identity of the target, yet you dare to do this? You really dare to take any order!"
The second in command of the Mighty Hall was covered in bloodstains. He gave Zhan Weiran a flattering smile: "Didn't we just have a prosperous New Year and spend all our money..."
"Someone paid a large sum of money to buy a person's life. This is the kind of business we do at Weiwu Hall. How can we just push the money away?"
"Sir, we in the Mighty Hall only take money from people and help them get rid of disasters. If you want to find someone, you should find the culprit. Just release our brothers in the Mighty Hall..."
Zhan Weiran had investigated them a long time ago and knew that this second in command usually looked like a coward, but when he saw powerful people, he would lower his posture and speak in a very flattering tone.
In fact, he is the most ruthless person in the entire Weiwu Hall, and he has taken countless lives.
Zhan Weiran's eyes turned cold, and he whipped him: "Stop laughing here!"
"You dared to assassinate the virtuous concubine, and you still want to leave the prison safely? If you don't want to suffer physical pain, then quickly confess everything you know!"
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Sun had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Shen Zhinian, she hurried over and said, "Sister Xianfei, are you okay?"
"I heard that you were injured. How is your wound being treated?"
"I cannot enter the Yangxin Palace, so it is not convenient for me to visit you. I have no choice but to wait here..."
Shen Zhinian raised her eyes and met the concerned look of Concubine Sun, and her heart warmed slightly: "Sister Sun, don't worry, I won't be in the way."
There were all kinds of rumors in the palace, but it was not until she saw Shen Zhinian that Concubine Sun's heart finally settled back into her chest.
She really wanted to know why Concubine Xian and His Majesty went to the people? And how did they suddenly encounter assassins?
But thinking that Sister Xianfei had gone through such a thrilling thing last night and was injured, what she needed most now was a good rest. Concubine Sun had no choice but to swallow all the words in her stomach.
"As long as it's okay! Just as long as it's okay!"
"Sister Xianfei, please never put yourself in danger again!"
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Go back and rest."
Shen Zhinian smiled at Concubine Sun and said gently, "Don't worry, Sister Sun, I won't let anything happen to me."
"As for you, you are pregnant now, so you should pay more attention to your body."
Concubine Sun nodded: "Sister Xianfei, I understand."
The palace maids in Zhongcui Palace were naturally worried about Shen Zhinian's safety. Seeing that she returned safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Nanny Lin has always treated Shen Zhinian as her own daughter, and she was so worried that she burst into tears.
But she didn't want to frighten the virtuous concubine while distracting herself to comfort herself, so she quickly adjusted her mood.
Fuqiu came in and reported, "My lady, I have already put the Jade Rabbit Lantern into the storeroom."
Shen Zhinian nodded disapprovingly: "Got it."
Handan asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, when we were in the Yangxin Palace, didn't you regard the Jade Rabbit Lantern as more important than any rare treasure? Why is it that now, now..."
You seem so unconcerned?
Shen Zhinian just smiled and said nothing.
She didn't believe that Nangong Xuanyu hadn't won a lantern for Concubine Shu when he took her out to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Given Concubine Shu's past personality, she would have regarded that lantern as a treasure.
But this year, the person that Nangong Xuanyu brought became her.
Maybe one year, Nangong Xuanyu will do the same thing for other women, and other people will also have similar lanterns.
If that’s the case, what’s so precious about it?
In Shen Zhinian's eyes, the Jade Rabbit Lantern was like the emperor's love, fickle and unreliable.
When she was in the Yangxin Palace, she was ecstatic and treated it as a treasure, but she was just pretending for Nangong Xuanyu to see.
Shen Zhinian carefully recalled what happened last night.
She really didn't expect that the emperor would make such a big fuss in order to find her. So much so that now, the whole capital knew her identity.
Well, with Jiang Lingzhou's intelligence, how could he not guess it?
She couldn't let that man ruin her plan!
However, in this life, Shen Zhinian and Jiang Lingzhou have not yet become close friends. Many things cannot be said openly, so Shen's father can only test his attitude.
Jiang Lingzhou is a smart man and should know what to do.
Fortunately, she only injured her left arm, which did not affect her ability to write.
Shen Zhinian walked to the desk, wrote a secret letter and handed it to Fuqiu, saying, "Have someone deliver this letter to father as soon as possible."
Fuqiu bowed and said, "I obey your command!"
……
Jiangzhai.
The butler kept Jiang Lingzhou's instructions in mind and kept an eye on the assassin.
After the news spread, he immediately reported the whole story to Jiang Lingzhou.
"...Sir, I never imagined that the assassin last night was targeting Your Majesty and Concubine Xian!"
"I never expected that a distinguished person like His Majesty would have the leisure to enjoy the lanterns on the streets of the capital like us."
"We met so many people last night. Who knows, we might have passed by His Majesty and the Concubine Xian at some point..."
Listening to the housekeeper's words, Jiang Lingzhou's thoughts gradually drifted away...
It turns out that the girl in blue last night was not a noble lady from some family, but...the Empress Xianfei.
He looked at the handkerchief on the table with a complicated expression...
The housekeeper was talking to himself, but he found that Jiang Lingzhou didn't respond at all, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Young Master?"
Jiang Lingzhou lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids. His slightly pale face made him look fragile.
"... Lei Bo, I understand. You can go down first."
The butler thought the young master was acting strange today, but he was just a servant, so he couldn't ask too much. He lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Jiang Lingzhou looked at the handkerchief on the table, slightly distracted.
Not knowing how much time had passed, he sighed, turned around, took out a brocade box from the cabinet behind him and put the handkerchief in it.
Things that do not belong to him should be returned to their original owner.
The next day.
Lei Bo came in and reported, "Sir, Lord Shen sent someone to deliver a letter, inviting you to come and be his guest."

I'm leaving for my hometown today to celebrate the New Year. I'm writing the remaining two chapters in the car. My kids can come and read them later.
During the Chinese New Year, Jiujiu will still update three chapters every day, but there are many things to do during the year, so the update time may be unstable. Thank you for your understanding!
