Due to the separation and disappearance caused by the earthquake, most families were reunited one after another until the next day.
What made Queen Jiang relieved was that when the earthquake occurred, Princess Yongfu was arguing with Oubicheng in the garden. Although Oubicheng was not worth much in terms of military force, she had been thrown to train in northern Xinjiang by her elders in the past few years, and she was often trained by enemy raids. , so the alertness and reaction speed are far beyond ordinary people!
Immediately after the earthquake, he hugged Princess Yongfu and rolled her into the flower garden!
According to the description of the surviving chambermaids and maids, almost at the same time that Princess Yongfu screamed and tried to push Oubicheng away, a rockery as high as one person rumbled and hit the place where the two of them were standing!
Jiang Yashuang took people back to the palace before the news of Princess Yongfu's safety was reported to the queen. After roughly understanding the injuries of Xiajiang's family, she was immediately ordered by the queen who was worried about Princess Yongfu and had no time to take charge of the rescue to take charge of part of the rescue. Already working.
... After Princess Yongfu was sent back to the Queen by Oubicheng, which made the Queen and Mrs. Tao feel a huge stone in their hearts, Jiang Qizheng was the only one who still worried about them.
But late that night, the pure-blessed princess was personally sent back to the Jiang Family Courtyard by Qiu Yilan: "After Her Royal Highness fell into the water, she happened to be discovered by my maid, so she helped her. Because the place is close to Green Snow Villa, we invited His Highness went to the villa to change his clothes. I originally wanted to ask His Highness to stay there for the night, but His Highness was concerned about his family, so he sent His Highness here now."
Since Mrs. Tao stayed in the palace to accompany Queen Jiang, the female family member who took the lead in the Jiang family's business was the eldest lady Dou.
She sent Qiu Yilan away with gratitude, hugged Jiang Qizheng and comforted her as she entered, repeatedly ordering people to come and wait on her - but when she walked into the courtyard, she saw Jiang Qizheng holding a leather bag in her hand. , the workmanship looks very rough, it doesn't look like something from a wealthy family, and it also has the word "风" embroidered on it.
Dou was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Zheng'er, this thing...?"
After Jiang Qizheng was rescued by Qiu Feng, she was abandoned by him again.
Until late in the evening, Qiu Feng, who was sure that she was looking in the wrong direction, turned back and found that she had only walked a few steps without saying a word. She was squatting in the forest holding her head and crying. When she stopped and asked, she found out that this person was Her Royal Highness is afraid of bugs, snakes, spiders, and mosquitoes, but she still doesn't know the way... Anyway, if she is allowed to go back to the palace alone, she will probably be in limbo until next month!
Qiu Feng, who couldn't laugh or cry, had no choice but to take her with him - and then they arrived at a place close to the palace and the Jiang family's villa. Jiang Qizheng looked at the messy clothes on her body and couldn't muster the courage to go back - especially since she fell into the water in full view of everyone. Yes, everyone also knew that she couldn't swim. How did she come back? How could she do it if she didn't have an explanation
Seeing this, Qiu Feng simply took her to Green Snow Villa, found Qiu Jinglan, and discussed with Qiu Yilan that the credit for saving people should be given to the Qiu family brothers and sisters.
It's just that Jiang Qizheng didn't notice that she kept holding the skin bag Qiu Feng gave her before!
He even hid secretly while bathing and changing clothes at Green Snow Villa...
Now being discovered by Mrs. Dou, Jiang Qizheng was shocked and said hurriedly: "I grabbed it when I was at Green Snow Villa... I took it back without knowing it! Send it back tomorrow!"
Mrs. Dou was relieved: "Poor child, you were scared... An Anxin, now that you are back home, you don't have to be afraid of anything!" She stretched out her hand to pick it up, "I'll keep it for you and send it tomorrow." When giving a thank you gift, return it by the way.”
"No!" Jiang Qizheng hid subconsciously. Seeing that Dou's hand was frozen, she was very embarrassed and said quickly, "I think... I want to go to Green Snow Villa tomorrow to say thank you and return it myself!"
Because she had always been well-behaved and quiet, and this time she almost escaped death, it was unavoidable that she had a weird temperament, so she didn’t think much about it. After agreeing, she said: "I will prepare a thank you gift for you. You can sleep well." Sleep."
"Thank you, auntie!" Jiang Qizheng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had gotten through. She held the bag tightly, but she felt a little warm behind her ears...
Early the next morning, just as Jiang Qizheng got up, the maid came to tell her that she must go into the palace after waking up to let the Queen and Mrs. Tao see it with their own eyes. So after washing up, she entered the palace first, and was pulled into the arms of her aunt and grandmother, touching her almost from head to toe. After confirming that she was safe, both the queen and Mrs. Tao shed tears: "Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise what would you do if you called us?" manage!"
Jiang Qizheng was deeply moved when she saw this. She knelt down and cried, "It's all my unfilial piety that makes my grandmother and fourth aunt worry about me like this!"
"No one thought about the earthquake, how can I blame you?" Empress Jiang stretched out her hand to help her stand up, and sighed, "I don't know what the people in Qintian Prison do for food! Before the banquet yesterday, Fu Bing , the Cheng family girls, actually noticed the abnormality, but the two girls didn't understand it, so they hid it because they were afraid of disturbing the Wanshou Festival. But they didn't understand it. Could it be that the people in Qintian Prison didn't understand it either? Waste…”
Mrs. Tao wiped her eyes and advised: "Let's talk about this later. We haven't found all the people yet! And those who were injured... Especially the old concubine Puyang is old, and her leg was broken again this time. Send him down the mountain for treatment immediately! I don’t know if there is another earthquake? If it happens while walking on the mountain road, it could be fatal!”
Jiang Qizheng asked in surprise: "Old Concubine Puyang—that is, the old Concubine Qin whose leg was broken? Didn't she come to the banquet?"
"It just happened when I didn't come to the palace! The main hall of the palace is still in good condition! The old concubine is very frugal in running the house. There has never been an earthquake in Dizi Mountain for so many years. The main house of the Xiao family's villa has not been repaired for several years. , it collapsed this time!" Mrs. Tao sighed, "Xiao Su and Princess Puyang were also buried inside, and the three of them were rescued after Xiao Mu rushed back and brought people to dig out the earth and rocks!"
Xiao Mu is Xiao Su's younger brother. Unlike Xiao Su, who is weak, Xiao Mu is strong and has been fond of wielding swords and guns since he was a child. He has wanted to join the frontier since he was a child - but his predecessor, King Puyang, died young and his descendants With just two sons, Chengjue's legitimate son was still very sick. If one of them failed, he could only count on Xiao Mu. How could Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Chu be willing to let him go to the army
I didn't expect it, but I hit it right. Without Xiao Mu this time, the three masters of the Puyang Palace would have been buried, and the servants would be wandering around like headless flies. If one of them failed, all three of them would be in trouble... Now only one old concubine is in danger. , considered good.
The old concubine Qin's virtuous reputation spread far and wide, and she was one of the most popular ladies in the capital. Empress Jiang had a good impression of her, and said with emotion: "The old concubine's age, I'm afraid it would be a bit..."
At this point, he frowned and cursed lightly, "It's really unimaginable that Mrs. Qin suffered this disaster! But the one who was said to have smashed the entire rosewood screen yesterday actually just fainted and then woke up. , the imperial doctor also said it was okay... If I had known this, I should have replaced the screen with a whole piece of marble!"
Mrs. Tao smiled bitterly and said, "What did you say in front of the child?" Of course the Queen was scolding Queen Mother Gu.
Empress Jiang was a little embarrassed when her mother reminded her. At this time, Jiang Qizheng proposed to resign: "Princess Meng Ningyi helped me yesterday, today I should go to Green Snow Villa to thank her in person!"
"Go, pay attention to safety on the road, and try to stay in an open place." Empress Jiang warned, "Although there will be no movement since yesterday's earthquake, we can't say for sure, so be careful!"
Jiang Qizheng agreed to step back.
She arrived at the place behind Green Snow Villa where the Qiu family brothers and sisters were staying temporarily, and found that large and small tents had been set up here - obviously the Qiu family brothers and sisters spent the night in this tent.
Seeing her coming, the servants outside the tent hurried in to report her.
After a while, Qiu Yilan came out and asked, "Why did His Highness come here in person?"
"I have nothing to do. It was all thanks to you yesterday..." When Jiang Qizheng said this, she looked around at several tents with some disappointment in her eyes.
Qiu Yilan understood the idea and whispered: "Master Qiu is in the tent in the southeast corner."
Jiang Qizheng's cheeks turned red involuntarily. She forced herself to calm down, then pulled her aside and said, "It's not convenient for me to go find him again. Please convey your gratitude to me."
"Okay." Qiu Yilan happily agreed and smiled, "Actually, he won't care."
"Are you familiar with him?" Jiang Qizheng couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
"My brother is familiar with him, and I have only met him a few times." Qiu Yilan thought to herself that I was stupid to admit in front of my future sister-in-law that I was familiar with an adult man who was not related by blood, and said calmly, "I My brother said he was a true knight. I heard from the Ling family brother that he saved several people yesterday. "
Hearing this, Jiang Qizheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed: "Why am I nervous? I was just saved once... Speaking of which, although he was trying to save me, he also took advantage of me!"
After hesitating for a moment, he took out the skin bag and said, "He...he gave it to me yesterday. Please help me return it to him."
Qiu Yilan accepted and asked casually about the safety of the Jiang family. Jiang Qizheng said: "My grandparents are a little sick, but they are all fine. Fortunately, the others were not injured... I was called to the palace for a meeting by my fourth aunt just now." , I heard that not many people were injured this time, but the old lady of Puyang had her leg broken. It seems that she is not in good condition. "
"This is really..." Qiu Yilan had never met the old concubine, so of course she just wanted to hear the news. She said a few words in a meaningful way. Seeing that there was no other topic to talk about, Jiang Qizheng left.
I just glanced at the southeast corner when I was leaving. I didn't see anyone, so I couldn't help but sigh again...
Qiu Yilan didn't pay much attention to these thoughts of hers - even if she did, she would pretend to be confused. After all, Qiu Feng and Jiang Qizheng's origins were too different, or for special reasons, it was impossible for the two to get together. Qiu Yilan didn't want to cause such trouble for herself.
After sending Jiang Qizheng away, she returned to the tent and continued to comfort Xue Nongying. Although Xue Nongying was temporarily suspended, he was so seriously injured and had been soaked in the water for so long. God knows whether he can survive. Qiu Jinglan Naturally, the Xue family was notified immediately.
However, because Xue Nongying was obviously assassinated before or during the earthquake, the Xue family was shocked when they learned the news. After urgent discussions, they decided to temporarily conceal Xue Nongying's traces to prevent him from being poisoned again!
...After all, the entire Dizi Mountain is now in panic due to the earthquake, and the Xue family does not have particularly powerful guards, so there is no guarantee that Xue Nongying can be fully protected.
In addition, the Xue family has no doctor now, so they simply let Xue Nongying stay with Qiu Jinglan, and they can also use Qiu Jinglan's cover to ask Qi Shuluo to prescribe some prescriptions - of course without telling Qi Shuluo, who knows who will do it. Not from the Jiang family
The Xue family considers themselves to be kind to others and have a middle-of-the-road stance, but the most valued junior is inexplicably dying. This will make a direct leap from "What enemies can our family have?" to "The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty cannot be trusted." Now we can only trust Qiu. Jinglan.
"Sister Qiu, is my brother really going to be okay?" No, Xue Nongying is temporarily placed here. The rest of the Xue family are afraid of being exposed. They are young, a girl, and a pure person in the circle of nobles. Xue Nongqing came in handy as she was called over to visit her brother and deliver news.
It's just that when the sixth grandson of the Xue family arrived and saw the injury on her brother's chest, she fainted without even a word. After being rescued, she hugged Qiu Yilan and cried till now!
However, Qiu Yilan didn't find her annoying at all, and if it was Qiu Jinglan who would be in trouble, she herself wouldn't be much better off. Xue Nongying and Xue Nongying have a deep relationship. If something happens to one, it is normal for the other to lose his temper.
So even though Xue Nongqing had asked this question dozens of times, she immediately changed to a firm tone: "Don't worry! He will definitely get better!"
Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, Dong Ran hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, saying solemnly: "Princess, Miss Xue, Mr. Xue is vomiting blood! The young master has sent someone to ask for the old doctor Qi - but it is best to go down the mountain immediately, because the mountain There are not enough medicinal materials, and now we can’t live in a house, it’s really not good to go on like this!”
Xue Nongqing was stunned for a moment, and then she fell towards Qiu Yilan!
