"What the hell is going on?!" Seeing that Jiang Yashuang and others were far enough away that they would not be heard, Qiu Jinglan's face suddenly darkened, "Today is the Qianqiu Festival! You actually brought these people here... Are you afraid that no one will find trouble with you?"
Qiu Yilan hurriedly said: "Brother, let's not talk about this for now, we are in a big disaster!"
Qiu Jinglan was not surprised when she heard this, and said with a sneer: "Even if there is no trouble in the first place, you will definitely be in trouble when you bring these people here!"
"...That's it." Qiu Yilan was choked for a long time before she could speak, "I misunderstood Princess Yongfu's words and thought that Queen Jiang knew about your life experience and wanted to use you. I was worried about your safety, so I ran out of the palace - Those people insisted on following me, and I was so anxious that I had no time to chase them away. Only when I got here did I realize that I had gone astray!"
She said frustratedly, "So, we can't do anything without a showdown now!"
Seeing her dejected look, Qiu Jinglan softened her heart and said in a slower tone: "The matter is over, let's tell them."
He frowned and looked at Jiang Yashuang, who was eying this side from a distance, and snorted coldly, "I hope you didn't deliberately deceive me because you were afraid of that kid misunderstanding!"
"How could it be?" Qiu Yilan quickly acted coquettishly, tugged at his sleeve and shook it, and said coquettishly, "Brother is the most important, who is he?"
Qiu Jinglan laughed and scolded: "It's duplicity... that's all. I don't care about you. Do you want to go over and tell him clearly now? I see that kid is already eager to come up and chop me."
"He dares!" That's what Qiu Yilan said, but she couldn't help turning her head and glanced at Jiang Yashuang, only to see that he was indeed staring here with bright eyes. He couldn't see his expression clearly from a distance, but his face was It must be nowhere to be seen!
Qiu Jinglan muttered: "It really doesn't matter?"
Qiu Yilan hesitated in embarrassment: "If you don't wear something so revealing... Okay, okay, he's still a bit important, but how can he compare with his brother, right?"
"That's more or less the same." Qiu Jinglan was very satisfied with her sister's obedience. After thinking for a while, she added, "Since you want to have a showdown with him now, I think I'd better invite him to the study to talk. Otherwise, here at the Ruan family, It's not easy for you to get along with him in private. If you enter the palace, you may not have a chance, and you might even get others to listen to you. "
He frowned and asked, "Where is that Miss Ou from?"
"Didn't I tell you all her details just now?" Qiu Yilan immediately seized the opportunity to tease her back.
Qiu Jinglan glared at her: "You brought me here!"
"I didn't bring her... She came here on her own!" Qiu Yilan curled her lips and said, "I still don't know what her name is!"
Qiu Jinglan frowned and said, "Really? Don't give her a chance to come over in the future. I'm very busy now and have no time to pay attention to her."
Qiu Yilan naturally agreed: "This is the first time I met her, so I will avoid her from now on." She was not surprised at all that Qiu Jinglan didn't want to respond to Ou Qinglan's enthusiasm. After all, Qiu Jinglan was currently in her filial piety period - for the sake of morality, he Can't respond either.
What's more, there are so many beauties chasing Qiu Jinglan. Although Ou Qinglan may be the most noble one... But Qiu Jinglan has never taken women other than her sister too seriously - she made friends with him in the first place. Hua Shen, a descendant of a noble family in the capital, is an example of this: she introduced Ling Zui to Qiu Jinglan, and then competed with Oiran, but Qiu Jinglan abandoned her to help Penglai Yue...
So Ou Qinglan, a straight-tempered eldest lady, fell in love with Qiu Jinglan, and she might be in trouble in the future...
"Then you have to be careful!" Qiu Jinglan reminded, "This master is not easy to avoid, so don't help her pester you!"
"How could I not help it!" Qiu Yilan said proudly, "I am very hard-hearted! Besides, how many years has it only taken you such a good brother to hurt me? There are people who want to shoot me. I am being polite by not beating her up!"
These words sounded comfortable, Qiu Jinglan smiled and said: "Don't worry, anyway, now that eldest sister is here, it will be easier for you to come and go. I will wait until you leave the palace before marrying a wife, and I will never be left out in the cold because of my own marriage." you!"
"Brother, you are so kind!" Qiu Yilan had a bright smile on her face, but she was secretly bitter in her heart: I wish you would get married soon, okay? Now half of your attention is on dealing with the current situation, and the other half is on taking care of me...
The two brothers and sisters got to know each other's current situation, then ended their private conversation and walked towards Jiang Yashuang and others.
As soon as she got closer, Jiang Yashuang stared at Qiu Yilan closely and said in a deep voice: "Lanlan?!"
"I'll tell you, you come with me!" Qiu Jinglan said, turned around and left - his sudden attitude was so arrogant, naturally because he was about to reveal his identity as his biological brother-in-law, and of course he had to show off. After all: After all, not to mention his own natural hostility towards his brother-in-law, the Jiang family is now very powerful. As Qiu Yilan’s natal family, his attitude is too modest, and he must be considered to have succumbed to the influence of the Jiang family. Qiu Yilan lost face.
It's just that Qiu Jinglan expected Jiang Yashuang, but she didn't expect Princess Yongfu. Princess Yongfu, who had long been unable to bear it and was only restrained by Jiang Yashuang's constant comfort, immediately sneered: "How dare you talk to my nineteenth cousin like this?! You really think that my nineteenth cousin likes your cousin, so you treat my nineteenth cousin as a slave, don’t you?”
Qiu Yilan was startled and quickly smoothed things over: "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand..."
"Misunderstanding?!" Princess Yongfu said angrily, "We saw with our own eyes that you two were arguing in broad daylight. Do you think that my nineteenth cousin is dead?! My nineteenth cousin is soft-hearted and tolerates you, my princess. This can’t be tolerated!”
Seeing that Qiu Jinglan and Qiu Yilan were unable to get off the stage, Ou Qinglan hurriedly stepped forward to stop Princess Yongfu who was about to go berserk: "Your Highness, please stop your anger. This Young Master Ruan looks like a very smart person. How could he do this in front of us?" What if they did something unwise? I think they are just like biological brothers and sisters... Isn't there an explanation after all? "
Princess Yongfu has always been pampered, so how could she be so angry and willing to listen to her? ! He shook her hand away forcefully: "Shut up! Ruan Qingyan, please explain to me what is your relationship with Princess Ningyi?! If you don't understand clearly, I will... "
"Yongfu!" Seeing that the scene was about to freeze, Jiang Yashuang closed her eyes and shouted, "I've been waiting for so long, so what if I go with him again? Stop talking!"
Princess Yongfu had no biological brothers, so she followed Queen Jiang to get close to her maternal cousins. Among them, Jiang Yashuang was her biological brother's cousin. Although her face was still full of anger when she heard this, she still bit her lip and sighed bitterly - Although the eyes he looked at Qiu Jinglan's brother and sister were always so unkind.
However, because she defended Jiang Yashuang so much, Qiu Jinglan gave her an appreciative glance, and then said to Jiang Yashuang, "Let's go to the study and talk."
Jiang Yashuang nodded expressionlessly.
Unexpectedly, just as the two of them were about to move away, another servant came over wiping cold sweat and reported: "Two father-in-laws came at the back door. They said they had urgent matters and wanted to see General Jiang and Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu!"
"Meet us? Why?" Princess Yongfu asked in surprise.
Jiang Yashuang immediately came to her senses: "It must be our sudden visit to the Ruan family. The palace knows about it - since we used the back door, it's probably someone sent by Fourth Aunt to smooth things over for us!" He immediately stopped and went to the study. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Let them come in quickly and ask what's going on!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They temporarily put aside what Qiu Jinglan was about to say and hurriedly greeted the two chamberlains. They saw that their robes were messy and they had obviously run all the way. One of them was holding a brocade in his arms. box.
Seeing Jiang Yashuang and Princess Yongfu, she didn't even have time to salute. She raised her hand and stuffed the brocade box over her, saying over and over again: "You came to Ruan's house specifically to get this, because Master Ruan bought it for Princess Ningyi." Later, I was worried that Princess Ningyi was young and accidentally dropped it, so I collected it for the princess - but she actually forgot to send it to the princess before she entered the palace. The princess only remembered it when she arrived at the palace today, and hurried back to get it. , the others were all curious and wanted to see it early, so they came together.”
Another chamberlain said: "Remember, you have never entered the main gate of Ruan's house. You are all waiting at the back door! Now all your carriages and horses have been moved to the back door, and the doors of the front and back doors have also given instructions. Passed—anyhow, you will definitely not come in today!”
Everyone quickly nodded together - when it was over, Princess Yongfu asked: "In the palace?!"
"The Queen Mother is furious!" The chamberlain wiped his sweat, "It's too late to elaborate, let's go back first - later someone will ask why it took so long to pick up something, so they said... the key to the warehouse can't be found for a while!"
Princess Yongfu recited her confession several times: "You all remember it, we all have to say this... Never reveal your secret in front of my royal grandmother!" She looked at the two chamberlains again, "You look at me, don't think about it before I come here." Not a valet? This report is a success, and I will speak kindly to you when you return!"
The two chamberlains were overjoyed and fell to their knees with a plop, thanking the princess for her kindness.
"Okay, okay, come on, let's go back quickly, so that the Queen Mother will not be picked on by the Imperial Grandmother during the Qianqiu Festival!" Princess Yongfu waved her hands towards them and urged them distractedly - but Qiu Yilan was anxious: " But my brother..." Who knows if Queen Mother Gu will wait for them to leave and then send someone to kill Qiu Jinglan
The reasons are all ready now: the Gu family suspects Qiu Jinglan of seducing Deng Yi’s fiancée!
"Go back first..." Qiu Jinglan was only halfway through her words when the two chamberlains who were kneeling not far from him and slowly getting up suddenly moved like rabbits!
With one backhand, he pulled out an exquisite powerful crossbow, and the crossbow arrows had a touch of dark green color. Even a blind man could tell that they were smeared with poison!
The other put his hands into his sleeves and pressed hard, and a large cloud of pink mist suddenly sprayed out from the sleeves!
This change of events was extremely sudden - after all, everyone was now focused on Empress Dowager Fu Yangu's questioning after returning to the palace. In addition, they did not suspect the two chamberlains at all, so they let them get closer. When they realized something was wrong, the thick pink color The fog instantly filled a radius of several feet, almost covering Qiu Yilan and others, including their master and servants!
Just accidentally inhaling a little bit, Qiu Yilan suddenly felt dizzy!
Among the people who were plotted, the ones with the highest martial arts skills were of course Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang.
They also reacted the fastest, and almost instantly held their breath. At this time, with their Qinggong, they had enough time to withdraw from the poisonous mist.
But the assassin has obviously considered everything: Qiu Jinglan cannot leave Qiu Yilan alone!
Jiang Yashuang cannot leave Qiu Yilan, Princess Yongfu and Ou Qinglan alone!
So they can't retreat at all! There is no way to fight back! We must save people first!
Relying on the memories before the poisonous mist spread, Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang cooperated for the first time - Qiu Yilan and Princess Yongfu were almost simultaneously thrown to the rear, out of reach of the poisonous mist!
The difference is that Princess Yongfu was held up by a soft force when she landed, and she staggered for a moment before regaining her balance. On the contrary, Qiu Yilan, who was rescued by Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang at the same time, fell due to the simultaneous action of two internal forces. When I clicked on the choice, it was different. I was thrown so hard that I lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up!
After a few breaths, it was Ou Qinglan who was already unconscious when she was thrown out!
"Imperial grandmother?!" Princess Yongfu was frightened and angry. She clutched her sleeves tightly and looked into the fog with her feet up - the princess was powerless and couldn't help at all now!
"What a ruthless Queen Mother Party!" Princess Yongfu only said that her royal grandmother couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in attacking the Queen Mother Party. But Qiu Yilan knew that this assassination was aimed at Qiu Jinglan!
How long had it been since she hurried to Ruan's house after the misunderstanding? The Queen Mother's Party actually planned such an assassination in the name of Queen Jiang. It is conceivable that if the assassination was successful, Queen Mother Gu would just blame the Queen's Party for murdering the former Prince of Xihe. The tragedy of the Qiu and Qiu families will also be framed as the work of the Queen’s Party!
Qiu Yilan stood up with trembling lips, looking at the poisonous mist that made dull sounds from time to time, but she didn't dare to go in - she was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of becoming a burden!
After all, 90% of her martial arts relies on exquisite skills; in this environment where internal strength is needed to resist the poisonous mist, she is no different from ordinary people!
Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang have not yet emerged from the poisonous mist, and she also understands that now that they are on the path in the garden, the poisonous mist has become a barrier. The two older brothers were worried that once they exited the poisonous fog, the assassin would chase them out. By then, Qiu Yilan, Princess Yongfu and Ou Qinglan would all be directly exposed to each other's attacks!
So they would rather drag each other into the poisonous fog!
"Princess, drag Miss Ou to hide in the flowers over there, and then you hide too... I'll call someone!" Qiu Yilan took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and warned Princess Yongfu, regardless of whether she would If you don’t know how to do that, just run to the place with the most servants in your memory!
