... Qiu Yilan cried and made trouble for most of the day at Green Snow Villa, but finally returned without success.
Returning to the Jiang family courtyard, Jiang Yashuang, who had realized that Qiu Jinglan had made up her mind long before she tried to dissuade her, couldn't bear to see his wife enter the house with red eyes, and comforted him: "Brother has always had ideas, and he He once revealed that there was a complete arrangement in the Zhenxi Army, otherwise neither our grandfather nor Prime Minister Xue would have allowed him to take this risk. "
This is true. If Qiu Jinglan was just talented, Xue Chang and Qin Guogong would not be reluctant to let him become a dead soldier - after all, for them, as long as they can deal with the Zhenxi Army without any use of blood, let them Even if a few of his biological descendants die, as long as they are not carefully cultivated successors, it is worth it!
But Qiu Jinglan is not only talented, but also scheming and capable. It can be said that she is an excellent and powerful minister!
As his teacher, how could Xue Chang be willing to give up? Especially Xue Nongying, who narrowly escaped death last year and is still pretending to have amnesia. Who knows when she will re-enter the official career! Xue Chang is also old, how can he afford to waste time? If you are unable to cultivate your grandson for the time being, of course you can work hard to pave the way for your disciples. This will not delay the development of your own power, but also provide Xue Nongying with a helping hand in the future!
For Qin Guogong, his grandson's daughter-in-law is Qiu Jinglan's biological sister whom he regards as a treasure. This means that no matter whose disciple Qiu Jinglan is, he must be tied to the Jiang family's chariot!
This kind of natural ally who is young, talented, good-looking, scheming, has a good teacher, and does not even need to provide training resources himself. Only the Duke of Qin would be stupid not to pay attention to or cherish him!
Therefore, if these two people allow Qiu Jinglan to travel westward, they will definitely make a comprehensive assessment of his entire operation to ensure his survival rate before agreeing. Otherwise - Qiu Jinglan certainly has "Tianya" in her hands, but in front of these two powerful bosses, there is really no possibility of sneaking to the west.
And with Qiu Jinglan's IQ, how could she naively think that she could single-handedly kill the current commander-in-chief of the Zhenxi Army without the support of the court bosses
"No matter how perfect the strategy is, the west side will always be the territory that Kuang Shihan has managed for many years." Qiu Yilan sat down listlessly and said, "So many armies..."
"So now I want to reveal my brother's life experience and let the government and the public know. How can Kuang Shihan openly attack my brother in front of the scene?" Jiang Yashuang sat next to her, made her a cup of tea, and said slowly, "As for Secretly, my brother is not helpless, and my grandfather also promised to send his best confidants to help. "
Qiu Yilan pursed her lips and asked, "When will this be done?" "Tianya", who is an expert in assassination, changed his career to a guard. He would not be like the last time he took Princess Yongfu and his entourage to the Ruan Mansion on the Thousand Autumn Festival. This is an example of luring a wolf into the house. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any big problems.
In particular, the Jiang family sent people to assist—the elite members of the Jiang Banchao family couldn't be worse than the people in Kuang Shihan's hands, right? In terms of background, Kuang Shihan is far behind the Jiang family.
After calming down and calculating, it cannot be said that Qiu Jinglan has no chance of survival when traveling westward: As for his purpose, Qiu Yilan is not in the mood to calculate at the moment. The words are very cold but it is the truth - the dead are worse than the living after all. important.
"There should be news in the evening." Jiang Yashuang pondered for a moment before saying.
Qiu Yilan couldn't help but be startled: "So soon?" She finally realized after she finished speaking. Wasn't it only a few days before Qin Guogong got up? If you don’t take action now, then why were you planning this before
"If you don't hurry up, the fourth aunt, the uncle, the third uncle, and the sixth uncle can hardly hold it anymore." Jiang Yashuang sighed, "If I hadn't been worried about my brother's safety, I wouldn't have been able to do it until the results of your personal efforts to persuade him came out. Determined, I planned to do this two days ago.”
Qiu Yilan was very surprised: "I heard that King Guangyang's political affairs were mediocre, not as good as the Crown Prince Guangyang's scheming ones. The people Empress Dowager Gu relied on the most in the court were Tang Zimo and Qiu Dian - on our side, the fourth aunt is in the court, There are three uncles in our family, and even more in-laws!”
Jiang Yashuang shook his head and said: "You don't know that it's because there are so many in-laws that the Queen Mother is at a disadvantage right now! My grandfather hasn't shown up in the past two days, and many in-laws are also confused and frightened. Uncle and the others have to do it every day Trying to find a way to appease—"
"The foundation of the Queen's Party..." Qiu Yilan opened her mouth and then fell silent, almost vomiting blood in her heart, "Qin Guogong became like this when he got sick... How did he become evenly matched with the Queen Mother's Party for so many years?!"
"It's not entirely to blame that they are now without a master." Although she didn't say the words, but by observing her words, Jiang Yashuang also knew what she was thinking now, and explained, "The foundation of the Jiang family was laid by my grandfather. In terms of prestige, , of course no one can compare with my grandfather!”
The voice lowered, "Below the grandfather, there are the fourth aunts! Then the younger uncle, the eldest uncle, the third uncle, the sixth uncle... except for the grandfather, it is impossible for the fourth aunts to choose one to call the shots. In-laws , Gujiu is naturally worried about what to choose if something happens."
In general, most members of the Queen's Party are now worried not only about how the Queen's Party can defeat the Queen Mother's Party without him if Duke Qin is really seriously ill; they are also worried about the Queen's Party who are at a similar level after Qin Guogong. Numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6... If they can't choose one in a short time, which one among them should they follow
Can this prevent people from becoming distracted
"Fortunately, my grandfather will be fine in a few days." Qiu Yilan sighed, "Since there will be news in the evening, how about I go change clothes and prepare to go out now?"
Jiang Yashuang waved her hand and said, "Don't worry. After all, Princess Ningtai's parents and brothers are here. Wait until the request comes to your door before you come forward!"
Qiu Yilan was a little uneasy because of Qiu Jinglan's insistence on traveling westward. When her husband stopped her, she suddenly realized: "Indeed, it doesn't make sense for my married cousin to charge into the battle." Moreover, it would be better to wait for the Xihe Palace to come to ask for help so that she could take the initiative.
She is not worried at all that the Xihe Palace will not come to find her - the Xihe Palace was once the most prominent among the kings with different surnames in the founding of the country, but it was only in the hands of the direct descendants.
Qiu Mengmin's mother and son were kicked out of the palace in their early years and lived in the market. For the first three years after returning to the palace, they had to observe the filial piety of their aunt, which made it inconvenient to socialize. In addition, Qiu Zhongyan was defeated and died in the war, and neither Princess Lian nor Princess Ruan could do it. He was given the real foundation of the palace - so Qiu Mengmin basically didn't get anything from his early connections.
What's more, Princess Lian and Princess Ruan also took away all the sellable properties of Xihe Palace and their dowries to Qiu Jinglan. Now Xihe Palace is really an empty shell!
It's just that no matter how empty the shell is, Qiu Jinzhu, the daughter-in-law of the princess, has been secretly interacting with Kuang Qingwu for a year... How could she not want to explain it? ! In terms of political importance, Kuang Qingwu is incomparable to Qiu Jinzhu, but in terms of status, he is a new scholar, and he actually wants to play the role of a princess for nothing!
When word of this spreads out, how will everyone in Prince Xihe's palace behave in the future
As for the Xihe Palace, which is now an empty shell, the only relative who can hope to seek justice for Qiu Jinzhu is Qiu Yilan. This was doomed from the time Qiu Jinzhu and Kuang Qingwu began to interact privately.
"Qiu Jinzhu..." Thinking of the cousin who was once eccentric and mean, but after the death of Princess Huainan, she showed sincere sympathy and guilt for Princess Lihui Chu Yitong, Qiu Yilan shook her head slightly, "I don't know if the Yang family How did you teach her? After what happened to Yang Yifu and the others, didn't Yang already take her seriously? Why would something like this happen again? "
She didn't know that Princess Yang, who had just learned the news, was also going crazy about it: "... A woman's reputation, how important this is! Have you forgotten the lessons of your two cousins?!"
Princess Yang felt pain and anger from the bottom of her heart. Isn't the loss to her mother's family big enough
"Although Yifu was born as a concubine, it was not difficult to find out about the marriage of the official family, but in the end, because of rumors that he had a secret meeting, he even died! Yifu is even worse! She is your uncle's most beloved legitimate daughter , all your cousins combined were not as good as she was in front of your uncle! Just because she couldn't hold back, she let Ding Qingyan seduce her, and ended up being killed in the Ding family, which was even more harmful to you! Your eldest uncle lost his official position, and your third uncle made a fuss and broke up the family. Not to mention how prominent your maternal family was in Beijing, it was still considered a wealthy family. However, because of your two unworthy cousins, your eldest uncle So many years of hard work have been wasted, and I still can’t get it back today!”
Princess Yang couldn't stop crying as she spoke, "Even if your third uncle has now separated from your eldest uncle and second uncle, Yinian and Yimian have not been able to get married until now... Such a bloody example is before you. Not one or two, I always tell you, how can you do such a thing?"
Qiu Jinzhu covered her left cheek, which had been slapped by Princess Yang when she just entered the door, and whispered: "My daughter is guilty!"
"What's the use of knowing your guilt?! Now the outside world knows that you and Kuang Qingwu have been dating - and they started dating last year!" Princess Yang was going crazy. "Since Qiu Yilan left the cabinet, your boss has disappeared. Sister, if you can't stay at home, would I tell you in advance? Why haven't I seen you since the beginning of this year? And you keep saying that you are not in a hurry to get married! He wanted to serve me for a few more years, but he turned around and threw himself into Kuang Qingwu's arms... Do you think I live too long?"
This was the first time Qiu Jinzhu saw her mother-in-law so hysterical. Although she was careful to be ruthless, but as she grew older and gained more knowledge, she was no longer so arrogant. Instead, she knew she was afraid, so she timidly said: "Kang Lang, he said he My father wanted him to marry Princess Changping, but he didn't like Princess Changping at all. He only wanted to marry me. He was afraid that the Queen Mother and Princess Changping would do something bad to me...and our family if they found out, so he hid it..."
"Snapped!"
Princess Yang, who had always doted on her own children, uncontrollably slapped her again: "Idiot! I told you that you didn't know that he must be the master of the Lord. So you knew?! You knew and still believed in him?! What on earth do you think? Do you have any brains!”
"Mother, he treats me sincerely!" Princess Yang didn't hold back in her fury. Qiu Jinzhu was beaten so dizzy that she fell down on the floor tiles. It took a while before she could see the scene in front of her clearly. She was so weak. Defending, "He..."
"When Ding Qingyan seduced your Yishi cousin, I guarantee that he was sincere in what he promised. I have told you again and again that nothing anyone said to you in private before naming or dating was credible. Why did you listen? Don't go in! If Kuang Qingwu really cares about you, shouldn't he give you a name before getting close to you? How could you be so stupid after being with you for a year! "
Princess Yang stood there, looking at her with her whole body trembling. She only felt that she was afraid that she had done all kinds of evil in her eight lifetimes to give birth to such a debt-collecting daughter. Things had reached this point and she was still stubborn. Princess Yang didn't know how to beat or scold her. At this moment, Qiu Jinzhu was chopped alive and she felt like she couldn't let out the tight breath in her chest!
But Yang Yishi’s example is certainly shocking, and Qiu Jinzhu also has her own reasons: “Last year when we were on an outing, we encountered heavy rain on Jinxiu Slope. When we rested on Jiang’s village, I saw with my own eyes the fifth sister and the fifth brother-in-law hugging each other! That moment Weren't they anonymous and statusless? At that time, the fifth sister had just come out of mourning, and she hugged the fifth brother-in-law outside the house where we lived. I'm afraid they had a private relationship during the mourning period, and there was a period of time when people outside were talking about Mr. Xue. The legitimate daughter was promised to the fifth brother-in-law! But it turned out that the fifth sister was not the one who carried her in the Jiang family's sedan chair!"
So what happened to stealing someone before you had no status? Isn't Qiu Yilan a successful example? The Duke of Qin gave him an extra phoenix hairpin as a token of his love for his granddaughter-in-law when he came to the house, and the backyard was extremely clean with her husband. Don't live such a good life!
Qiu Jinzhu thought aggrievedly that although her talent and appearance were not as good as those of her cousin, Kuang Qingwu was not as handsome as Jiang Yashuang? What my cousin can do, why can't I do it myself
