Qiu Jinglan hummed, "That's it."
"Why should I carry the Kuang family's things with me?" Qiu Yilan asked in confusion.
"It was sent by Kuang Qingwu, not from the Kuang family." Qiu Jinglan shook her head with an indifferent expression, "It belongs to our father!"
Qiu Yilan was startled.
"The same goes for the medicine inside. I used one this time and there is another one. You should take it with you just in case." Qiu Jinglan warned.
"Did Kuang Shihan rob our father?" Qiu Yilan immediately guessed.
Qiu Jinglan avoided answering and only said: "I asked someone to make a small gold lock on this jade box, which can be hung on a chain."
"You didn't tell me!" Qiu Yilan complained angrily, "I have several chains in my makeup box. I'll look for one later."
"Sir, it's time to drink medicine." At this time, Dongran came in with an ebony lacquer tray.
Qiu Yilan hurriedly went up to take it: "I'll do it!"
She waited for Qiu Jinglan to take the medicine, and when she saw her brother looking tired, she stood up and said goodbye: "Brother, please rest, I'll leave first."
"Well, you go ahead and see if eldest sister is feeling better and tell me later." Qiu Jinglan nodded.
As soon as Qiu Yilan went out, his lack of expression completely disappeared, and he asked Dong Ran, who was closing the door: "My nephew killed my aunt?"
"The news from when we were boiling the medicine just now." Dongran reported in a low voice, "Queen Jiang blocked Qiu Mengmin and his wife in the Taishi Palace, and was making a big fuss with Queen Mother Gu. She must punish Deng Yi!"
He added, "After General Jiang left our house, he seemed to have gone straight to the palace gate."
Qiu Jinglan nodded and said nothing, thinking: "My mentor promised to help with this matter, and the Jiang family is determined to give their sister to Jiang Yashuang... In this way, no matter what happens to Deng Yi, this family There should be no problem in dissolving the marriage. "Qiu Jinglan doesn't care too much whether Deng Yi dies or not, as long as it doesn't hinder his sister's path.
Just as he was thinking about whether the Queen Mother's party could make a comeback in this matter, suddenly there was a surge of blood in his chest. Without any time to say anything, he asked Dongran for a handkerchief, and he just vomited a mouthful of blood on his clothes!
"Master!" Dong Ran was shocked and quickly came up to support him, stroked his back for a while, and handed him tea to rinse his mouth... After a while, Qiu Jinglan, whose face was obviously pale, lay down again and sighed. Noise, said nothing.
He didn't say anything, but Dongran couldn't help but ask: "Is the young master still looking for that jade box?"
"I picked that jade box back then, and the medicines in it were also put in one by one by holding my sister's hand before my father went to war." Qiu Jinglan closed her eyes and said indifferently, "Grandma said that I told Having a son and a daughter is a good word. When we pack our father's things, we will definitely be able to bring him back well... In the end, not only did his father not come back, but even the jade box did not come back after so many years! "
"You can't be excited about it anymore!" Dongran knelt down beside the couch anxiously and advised worriedly, "If you don't do it for yourself, think about the hatred of the prince, princess and dowager! Think about the princess!"
Qiu Jinglan whispered: "I know. So when I woke up that day, when Qi Shuluo praised the good medicine Kuang Qingwu gave me, although I vaguely guessed what the medicine was, I didn't ask more, but changed the topic... etc. After the injury stabilized, I sent someone to bring it over for verification... No matter what, I must not let anything happen until my sister finds a good home!"
Dongran breathed a sigh of relief and made up his mind to go back and remind Qiu Yilan to keep the jade box close to his body and not let Qiu Jinglan see it again.
This jade box is of great significance to the brother and sister, but it is a great stimulus to Qiu Jinglan - seeing it reminds him how his originally prosperous and smooth life as the heir to the throne ended up in a nightmare that he still cannot wake up from. !
Fortunately, he was mentally strong enough and cared deeply about his sister. Otherwise, as Kuang Qingwu hoped, he could not help but let go of the excitement!
"Master Ling Xiaohou has been coming here every day these days. I knew you were awake two days ago, but he didn't dare to see you because he was afraid that you would be upset." Dongran was afraid that Qiu Jinglan would not say anything but continued to think in her heart, so she hurriedly interrupted. Opening up the topic, "Since I met General Jiang today, will he... tomorrow?"
Qiu Jinglan thought for a while and said: "That's it. If he comes early tomorrow, please ask him to wait for me until noon. I can't see him until I have regained my energy."
Dongran nodded: "My servant remembers it!"
... At this time in the palace, Queen Jiang was returning to Beique Hall.
I just had a fierce fight with Queen Mother Gu. Even though the Queen was still in her prime, she felt a little tired. So when he returned to his palace, he immediately removed his phoenix crown and Zhai clothes, loosened his bun and put on his regular clothes, and hurriedly asked people to pinch his shoulders and beat his legs.
But just after he asked the little palace maid to squeeze his shoulders, his nephew took over the job of beating his legs.
Of course it was Jiang Yashuang who was so attentive. Before he started beating, he smiled and asked, "Auntie, what's that about?"
Queen Jiang glared at him: "Didn't you mean to beat my legs?!"
Jiang Yashuang hurriedly thumped: "Thumping! Does my nephew still dare to lie to my aunt?"
"There should be no problem in breaking off the engagement, but Deng Yi will probably be freed from guilt." Empress Jiang deliberately let him beat her for a while before telling him slowly.
"Really?!" Jiang Yashuang was so happy that she almost didn't jump up!
The queen immediately glared at her again: "Where's the leg beating you promised?!"
"Thumping, beating!" Jiang Yashuang quickly knelt down again and continued to serve her aunt, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, "Auntie, you are so kind!"
Empress Jiang hummed: "You know how to talk sweetly!"
"He'll beat your legs, right?" Jiang Yashuang said sweetly, beating her legs a few times faster.
The queen chuckled, picked up the whisk at her hand and hit him lightly, and said angrily: "You are so glib! You must have learned it from Dan'er's careless way!"
"How can I learn from Bage?" Jiang Yashuang smiled slyly, "What my nephew said is true!"
Empress Jiang teased him a few more words, then suddenly stopped smiling, dismissed the palace people, and said in a low voice: "Don't be too busy to be happy that your sweetheart is free! Let me tell you, Deng Yi and Na Qiu Yu had no grudges in the past and have no grudges in recent times. Damn it, why did he do this? Many people in the government and the public know this! So Princess Ning Yi may have a reputation as a snobbery this time - she thinks that Deng Yi is not as good as you because you have a good background and a bright future. Those who deliberately encourage you to plot against him... probably most of them!"
Jiang Yashuang was stunned for a while and said, "Thank you, aunt, for the tip. My nephew will think of something."
"Originally, I wanted to help you to the end." Empress Jiang was a little regretful, "However, your grandfather had sent me a message before, telling me not to protect you too much about this matter, and to leave some things for you to finish. "
Jiang Yashuang said with a smile: "That's how it should be. This is my nephew's business. The days when my aunt and grandfather are working together make my nephew feel guilty."
Empress Jiang leaned back comfortably: "What are you feeling guilty about? You grew up under my aunt's watch, so if I don't care for you, who will I care for?" She pondered for a moment and then asked, "By the way, you have been running around for your sweetheart these days. If you are running away, don’t delay your serious business... How are you preparing for the provincial examination? "
"Ruozhong understands what Aunt Yuan rewards her nephew for?" Jiang Yashuang asked immediately.
"So sure?" The queen laughed. "It's okay to say this in front of me. If you dare to say this in front of your grandfather, you have to take the exam to understand the Yuan Dynasty. If you fail the exam, it depends on how you explain it!"
Jiang Yashuang said with a smile: "Isn't there still aunt here? If you miss, run to aunt. No matter how strict my grandfather is, can he not give you face?"
Empress Jiang laughed and scolded: "Oh, I thought you were really confident and planned to win three yuan in a row! He said something to make us happy first! He also said that he didn't imitate your bad brother, you were so honest that you could tell lies before. No, now I have even learned big words - to be serious, forget about these small details. If you are like your Bage, who neglects his homework and only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and plans to live on the shadow of the Jiang family... Don't blame your aunt for not caring about you and letting your grandfather Let me go and teach you the rules!"
After saying the next few sentences, the queen sat up straight and said seriously!
Seeing this, Jiang Yashuang also suppressed a smile and said seriously: "My aunt's teachings, my nephew dare not forget! He will definitely live up to the painstaking cultivation of his grandfather and aunt for more than ten years!"
The queen then softened her expression and said sincerely: "Don't blame us for being harsh on you alone. There are some things that I can only tell you when you grow up and we are only two aunts and nephews: Your eighth brother has been there since he was a child. In fact, he is no less intelligent than you. Like you, he grew up in front of your grandparents in Beijing. Speaking of which, your mother personally taught him for two years when she didn't go to the north! Why did he look like this when you were a child? Or maybe I haven’t thought about it, but I should know it now. Your parents only have three sons, and your sixteenth brother is no worse than your eighth brother. From now on, all the people in the fourth house will have to count on you!"
What Jiang Yashuang was about to say was stopped by the queen, "Stop talking about those clichés, what kind of tricks did Tao Yinsong use back then? Your grandfather must have told you, right? But after his death, he can ensure that the Tao family is safe... The problem is that Tao Yinsong has never been married to the royal family, and he has never been involved in the fight for the crown prince while he was alive! But our Jiang family is different. From the moment I entered the palace, it was already destined that I would not be able to live in Taishi Palace in the future. , Our Jiang family is not to mention that everything is in ruins, it is the worst thing to be unable to recover! "
"However, although you have many brothers, you have few upbeat ones, so for someone like you who is obedient and sensible, we can only teach you more severely!" The queen sighed, "Although I often feel sorry for you children, for the sake of the entire Jiang family..."
"Auntie's words are untrue." Jiang Yashuang stood up, made a cup of tea on the table not far away, brought it to the queen with both hands, and said sincerely, "Without my grandfather and aunt, how could our family be as good as it is today?" Days? It is said that deep love leads to deep responsibility, so how could my grandfather and aunt be sorry for us? I just regret that my nephew is young and has not taken the provincial examination yet, so he can't help my aunt immediately! "
Empress Jiang took the cup of tea happily: "Good boy, you go back and study. It's a waste of time and you have to stay up late to make up for your homework! Let's share the worry - my aunt can still afford to wait for a year or two!" This is tantamount to a clear promise, as long as you have to stay up late to make up for your homework! If Jiang Yashuang is named on the gold list, the queen will immediately pave a blue cloud road for him!
... After resigning from Beique Hall and leaving the palace gate, Jiang Yashuang did not return to the Duke of Qin's Mansion or the other courtyard where Mrs. Tao lived. Instead, she rushed her horse to Jingzhao Mansion.
Hearing that the 19th son of the Jiang family was coming, Feng Rugui from Jingzhao did not dare to neglect and hurriedly welcomed him out in person. Although there is a saying that "Three lives of misfortune, the county magistrate is attached to Guo; three lives of evildoers, he is attached to the provincial capital of Guo; full of evil, he is attached to the capital of Guo", which is enough. It was difficult to deal with the situation in Beijing, but with the support of the Jiang family, he was determined to be a qualified queen... Feng Rugui's life was not difficult at all.
As for the bad reviews... Feng Rugui didn't expect to be famous forever anyway.
So when Jiang Yashuang asked to see Deng Yi who was detained here, he immediately understood and said: "There are several people under the official who are quite good at torture tools... Do you want the Nineteenth Young Master?" He emphasized, "I promise not to stay. Leave traces, even if the Queen Mother wants to say anything!”
Jiang Yashuang shook his head: "Let's wait until I see him first."
Feng Rugui smiled and accompanied him to the cell where Deng Yi was locked up. At the same time, he gestured for the torture experts to be called over. The Nineteenth Young Master did not refuse, so he probably acquiesced. As a noble man, you must behave magnanimously. , besides being generous, that is Lao Feng’s thoughtfulness...
The absent-minded Jiang Yashuang didn't know that Jing Zhao was planning to "take care" of her. When he arrived at the place, he saw that Deng Yi was alone in a room with no one around him. He nodded secretly, ordered to unlock the door, and said: "Feng Yin, you are busy with your affairs. You should go and take care of your official duties. You don’t need to accompany me. I’ll just talk to him and leave.”
"Don't worry, Young Master, we'll be here soon... eh?" Feng Rugui said half-way before he woke up. This Young Master really didn't mean to show off to Deng Yi directly. He couldn't help but be startled, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Then, I'll tell you, sir. Please excuse yourself first. If you have any instructions, sir, can I ask them to wait at the door? "
"Go." Jiang Yashuang waved her hand, "Don't come over and disturb us!"
