Qiu Yilan took a sip of tea, and with a wink asked Su He to go out in person to lead people to check the door, and then asked cautiously: "Tell me the truth, how far have you and Tong Qingwu gotten in the past year?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Qiu Jinzhu immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
She hesitated, but Qiu Yilan didn't have much time to spend with her. Just as he was about to urge her, Xiuyan answered in embarrassment: "The Sixth Princess is really young and ignorant... But Kuang Qingwu also used his sweet words to trick the Princess into thinking that he was sincere... "
So everything that should happen and shouldn’t happen happened
Although this was expected by Qiu Yilan, she still sighed: "All the advantages have been taken, and there is no trace of my identity. Just like this, I still want to speak for Kuang Qingwu... How did Yang teach her daughter?" "Even if Qiu Jinzhu is only fourteen years old now, people get married early these days, and fourteen is the age to get married. It's time to know something!"
Shaking her head, Qiu Yilan asked again: "Then... let me ask again, are you... pregnant?"
This was a straightforward question. Not to mention Qiu Jinzhu and Xiuyan Wudi's appearance, Xia Ran, who was left to serve, was all red in the face. After a moment of stalemate, Qiu Jinzhu said weakly: "Ying... probably not!"
"Do you know what counts as pregnancy?" Qiu Yilan was still worried.
"The princess just now asked her mother to feel her pulse." Xiuyan said cautiously, unable to raise her head.
Qiu Yilan nodded: "That's the case, then it doesn't matter if you work harder when it comes to the theory later." The Queen's Party's strategy to deal with the Queen Mother's Party's crazy offensive is a series of tricks. The incident between Kuang Qingwu and Qiu Jinzhu Being exposed was just the introduction.
The reason why I chose this introduction is not only to directly and quickly burn the flames of the Zhenxi Army, which is the most sensitive part of Empress Dowager Gu, but also because this kind of personal affair between men and women is the easiest to attract attention and the easiest to move the topic. Get up - this can not only share a large number of rumors about Qin Guogong's illness, but also remind the Queen Mother Party of Qiu Jinglan's life experience, distract their attention, and fundamentally reduce the pressure from the outside world on speculation about Qin Guogong's illness!
As for Qiu Jinzhu being innocently involved in this matter... To be honest, from the day she interacted with Kuang Qingwu, she was destined to be dragged into this vortex. Even if Jiang Yashuang doesn't plan on her, sooner or later she will be quietly killed by the Queen Mother to clear the way for Princess Changping! Now that things are getting serious, she still has a slim chance of survival!
And Qiu Yilan is very sure that Kuang Qingwu deliberately seduced his cousin, and his purpose is definitely not simple - it is not just to play with Qiu Jinzhu, I am afraid he has a deeper intention, but Qiu Jinzhu is just wishful thinking and immersed in finding The good son-in-law didn’t notice it at all!
"The next step is to seize this excuse to stand up for this stupid kid." Qiu Yilan thought in her mind, "I hope she wakes up soon and her IQ returns to normal. Otherwise, if I support her for a long time, what will happen later? Qingwu's words made her change her mind again... How else can this play be sung?"
"I'm not afraid of getting tired!" Qiu Jinzhu said timidly.
"And after I teach you, you must listen to me. Don't be coaxed by Kuang Qingwu's few words and trick me instead!" Qiu Yilan glanced at her and put on a serious expression. He said, "This must be agreed upon. If you disobey me, don't blame me for letting you go!"
Sure enough, just after she finished speaking, Qiu Jinzhu showed a lot of struggle on her face, unable to agree!
Xiuyan saw Qiu Jinzhu actually hesitated, almost vomiting blood: "Sixth Princess, have you forgotten what the princess told you when you came?! Calculating the time, the prince should have been called back by Concubine Bian and the young lady. I don’t know how the princess will explain to the prince—don’t you care about the princess’s life or death? She is your own mother!”
He cried again, "What the Fifth Princess said just now is absolutely correct! If Kuang Qingwu wants to be sincere to you, things have reached this point, how can he not come out and give you an explanation!? Such a person, After lying to you for a year and harming you for a lifetime, do you still want to ignore your biological mother and concubine and your younger brother, the Seventh Young Master?"
Qiu Jinzhu and Kuang Qingwu have been dating privately for a whole year, and they are in love for the first time. Even if she knows that she has been cheated miserably, she really can't do it if she is asked to cut off the relationship immediately - after all, it is difficult for girls to live in a family. Cutting off the emotional mess quickly - Xiuyan cried and questioned her. Although she was a little panicked, she still couldn't say anything about ignoring Kuang Qingwu from now on.
Seeing this, Xiuyan just wanted to stand up and shave her big ears to wake her up!
But before she could grit her teeth and continue to force Qiu Jinzhu, Su He outside the door raised his voice and reported: "Someone has come to the palace, and it is the Queen Mother who has summoned Princess Ningtai to the palace for an audience!"
"Princess Five, Princess Six is crazy. You must save her! My servant is kowtowing to you!" Xiuyan was shocked when she heard this. She had no choice but to kowtow to Qiu Yilan - she was Princess Yang's confidant and Princess Yang both prospered and suffered losses. If Princess Yang was tricked to death by Qiu Jinzhu this time, she would not have a good life!
So these people kowtowed with great piety. After a few times, bright red blood flowed from their smooth foreheads!
"I will stand by her!" Qiu Yilan stood up and asked Xia Ran to hold down Xiuyan, sneering, "How could I let go of the opportunity to cause trouble for Kuang Qingwu?! So you don't have to give it to me! Now that you’re kowtowing, you’d better save your energy and get along with your sixth princess, and give her a hard slap to shut up when she says something she shouldn’t say!”
After saying this, he told Su He, "Tell the person coming to change our clothes and come over!"
He called out again, "Where's Nineteen? Go find him personally and ask him to help invite Fourth Aunt!"
Hearing that the queen was going to be alarmed, Xiuyan believed that Qiu Yilan was really going to stand up for Qiu Jinzhu. Thinking about the prominence of the Jiang family, even though there were rumors outside that Duke Qin was critically ill - but since he was still alive now, he would not be able to survive until he came to the Xihe Palace. Having solved this big trouble, it should be okay, right
Qiu Yilan asked Xia Ran to call in the little maid to serve Qiu Jinzhu, embroider and wash her. She went into the inner room to change into the princess's dress. After everything was packed, she took her cousin out.
The servants sent by the Queen Mother in the flower hall had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they finally saw them coming out, their tone was naturally not good: "The two Princess Qiu have figured it out! Our family thought that they escaped through the back door, right? Know how to report to the Queen Mother!"
This was obviously a satire on Qiu Jinzhu who dared not see anyone for what he had done, and the title "two Princess Qiu" also insinuated Qiu Yilan into it.
When Qiu Yilan saw this, she glanced at Su He. Su He understood immediately and quickly said harshly and coldly: "Oh! This father-in-law is so angry! But what is the identity of the Queen Mother? What is the relationship between my young lady and my wife? Princess Ningtai cleaned up her appearance before the audience, which is a sign of respect for the Queen Mother - why does the father-in-law mean that we don't need to respect the Queen Mother so much?"
The waiter did not expect that Qiu Yilan not only did not take her anger seriously, but even only hinted that a maid would come out to fight back. He was startled for a moment, and a murderous look flashed across his fair face, and he said sadly: "Ning Yi Does the princess mean this too? Although our family has not been lucky enough to see the princess in the past, we also know that when the princess stayed at the palace two days ago, her meeting with the Queen was not as formal as today. Could it be that Princess Ningyi only respects the Queen Mother? But you don’t respect the Queen Mother? In this case, our family will definitely mention it to the Queen Mother later, so that the princess’s hard work will not be in vain!”
Su He was shocked when he heard this. She only wanted to make things difficult for the servant, but she didn't realize that there was a huge loophole in her words! Just as she was thinking hard about how to make up for it, she heard Qiu Yilan say lightly: "Isn't this the same as usual? My cousin was deceived by Kuang Qingwu's false reading of the sage's book. Even if the Queen Mother didn't come to summon people, I wouldn't I’m about to bring my cousin into the palace to ask the Queen for her decision! How can I wear a homely dress for such an occasion!”
The chamberlain said happily: "Now the Queen Mother is intervening in this matter. The princess will hand over Princess Ningtai to our family and take her in. Just go to the Queen Mother!"
"Joke! Who are you to be qualified to speak on behalf of the Queen Mother?!" Su He finally found the opportunity to make up for his previous mistakes and shouted, "And how noble the Queen Mother is! You actually want to send me home with just a casual word?" The Princess goes to see the Queen—I don’t know if you can meet the Queen so freely! Why? Do you dare to order the Queen?”
"...The palace carriage is at the door. Please come with us!" The waiter's face was filled with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. After all, he was someone who was close to the Queen Mother. He knew that he might not be able to quarrel with Su He, but now The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, and there is no point in further quarreling except for causing more self-humiliation. Quan Zuo did not hear Su He's unpleasant words at that moment, and secretly felt cruel in his heart: "When I am in front of the Queen Mother, there are bastards like you. nice!!!"
The waiter flicked his whisk with an expressionless expression and walked out of the gate of the other courtyard first!
Seeing this, Su He looked at Qiu Yilan very proudly - the latter also gave her a look of approval, and after coaxing her confidant maid, the smile on the corner of Qiu Yilan's mouth suddenly faded: "Qiu Jinzhu is so stupid. The girl's attitude is wavering. We must be careful not to let her change her side before the battle... And the Queen Mother must have already reported that Kuang Qingwu came to the palace to inquire about the incident. Now that Qiu Jinzhu is being reported, I'm afraid it has already been reported first. I think of some way to settle this matter, but I can’t let them do it!”
She really guessed this wrong - of course the Queen Mother's party immediately discussed a countermeasure after learning about this matter, but this way of settling the matter...
We are still arguing about it till now!
Empress Dowager Teruya, a mere princess from a fallen palace wants to steal her husband from the granddaughter she raised personally? Why don't you die quickly! Therefore, the Queen Mother thought: "The Ai family of Princess Ningtai still remembers how her two cousins and the two girls from the Yang family died, and how Yang Tao was implicated and demoted by these unfilial juniors. You also know. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, so it’s no wonder that this cousin is not a woman and leads her to evil... She has been flirting with others at a young age. If this girl doesn’t die, where will the Prince of Xihe’s face be? "
That is to say, all the responsibility should be passed on to the lax goddaughter of the Xihe Prince's Palace and Qiu Jinzhu's licentiousness.
But Qiu Dian, who came in a hurry, disagreed: "Mother, although the Xihe Palace is not as good as before, after all, our ancestors have a deep connection with the Zhenxi Army! Kuang Shihan's debt to General Ruan in his early years is the legacy of the two generations of Zhenxi Army. What people have witnessed with their own eyes is that if Kuang Qingwu’s lover is the daughter of another family, it would be fine. Since he is the princess of Ningtai, it is better to appease him so as to prevent the Zhenxi Army Center from missing the old commander’s heart. "
Of course, the hearts of those people had already gone cold when Qiu Zhongyan died and General Ruan was questioned. Now Qiu Dian is thinking about it mainly because, "After all, the Jiang family still hasn't let him show up in Green Snow Villa..." How do you know it’s not for this reason?”
Originally, the old men in the Zhenxi Army were all thinking that Kuang Shihan had avenged his kindness to General Ruan, but now that the chaos has begun again, the princess of the Qiu family has finally been abandoned - Qiu Jinglan stepped forward, took off her waistcoat, and acted as the victim... In this world Although it is impossible that there will be people who help others do evil, most people’s moral principles are still normal, okay
This will not only shake the morale of the military, but also cause the Queen Mother Party to lose popular support!
Empress Dowager Gu and Qiu Dian argued for a while but failed to reach a unified view. They both turned their attention to Tang Zimo, who arrived before Qiu Dian but remained silent: "Mr. Tang?"
"Kuang Qingwu is nearly a generation older than Princess Ningtai. When this incident came out, the world despised Princess Ningtai, but I'm afraid it's more likely that the former seduced the latter... Moreover, there is definitely something behind this incident. Because of Jinglan!" After all, Empress Dowager Gu wanted to repair her relationship with an important minister even if she married someone else. Tang Zimo's suggestion was superior after all, "Why not use the trick to get Kuang Qingwu to admit that he was secretly dating Princess Ningtai? Reveal that Princess Ningtai was ordered by Qiu Jinglan to use sex to meddle with the military power of Zhenxi and even murder important ministers? "
