The ancestral graves of Kuang Shihan and his son were dug up - it is impossible for the Queen Mother's Party to ignore such a big matter, but the Jiang family deliberately obstructed it, and their response was a step too late. When Princess Changping arrived with Yi Zhi in the wind and snow, the coffin had already been exposed. In broad daylight!
Princess Changping witnessed all this and almost went crazy with anger: "You... you are so brave! Are you going to fight to the death?!"
To be honest, Princess Changping's feelings for her husband's family, even her husband Kuang Qingwu, are not very deep. After all, her decline was not only due to Chi Guoguo's political marriage, but also the consort Kuang Qingwu had previously engaged in a marriage proposal to Princess Ningtai. Even if Kuang Qingwu later tricked the princess to death to express his determination... Who has any brains? What kind of woman would trust such a husband
But feelings belong to feelings, and positions belong to positions - after all, the princess is also the daughter-in-law of the Kuang family, and the wife of a tomb!
Now that Kuang Shihan and his son are not in Beijing, she is the only person in charge of this lineage. How can she not be angry when she sees this scene in front of her!
"What did your Highness say?" However, no one in the Jiang family took Princess Changping's anger to heart. Jiang Yashuang was busy comforting his wife and didn't even bother to pay attention to her.
That is to say, Jiang Yadan, who is always in the mood to talk to beautiful girls, approached the princess with a playful smile and said with ill intentions, "The Kuang family is not allowed to disturb my sister-in-law's biological grandfather, but my sister-in-law is not allowed to be filial and take care of my mother-in-law. Isn’t it unreasonable to come back for revenge?”
Princess Changping screamed: "The matter has not yet been investigated clearly. Why do you think it was my father-in-law and his consort who did it?! Now the war is raging in Western Xinjiang, and it is all up to my father-in-law to resist the invasion of the Western Barbarians! You are trying to destroy the Great Wall!" What!”
"Don't be ridiculous, Your Highness!" Jiang Yadan looked at her from head to toe for a while, especially looking at her chest again and again, and said with a smile, "The Qiancheng of the country is talking about my grandfather - Kuang Shihan, he is not enough Ge! And how did the war in the Western Barbarians begin? Do you really think that everyone in the government is dead?"
Hearing this, Princess Changping's heart sank - she was not surprised that Jiang Yadan knew that the war in Ximan was deliberately provoked by Kuang Shihan in order to pave the way for his son. She was surprised that Jiang Yadan actually said this directly! This is obviously a plan to completely break up the relationship!
"The Jiang family is so sure, how can Qiu Jinglan, who is only in her early twenties, be able to control the situation in the west?!" You must know that no matter how small the war in Western Xinjiang is, it is still a war, and the Western barbarians are such a brutal and fierce race. For the rich Darui and the others didn't make up their minds in a day or two!
Although the scale of the current war is not large, it is because the Western Barbarians have not seen enough benefits!
If they find an opportunity, Western Xinjiang will fall into a full-scale war at any time - after all, the characteristics of the nomadic people as all soldiers and cavalry make them prepare for war much faster than Da Rui!
The commander-in-chief of the Zhenxi Army, Kuang Shihan, had his ancestral grave dug up and was charged with crimes. This was of course a great time to invade Dali!
Jiang Yadan's current actions and remarks did not take Kuang Shihan and his son to heart, and he did not care about the war in Western Xinjiang at all. Princess Changping really couldn't imagine where the Jiang family's confidence came from? !
"It's impossible to rely on Qiu Jinglan, that's the old Jiang family?!" The princess, like Jiang Yashuang, suspected the real culprit who dug up General Ruan's grave was the old Ruan family, "These people are actually sure to take over the Western Barbarians How many of them are there?! How could those people dare to take action at this time despite their seemingly high position? The Kuang family’s ancestral grave!”
Princess Changping's scalp felt numb when she thought that these people were willing to sacrifice the grave of General Ruan to perform cruel tricks!
But now is not the time to be frightened - as the wife of the Kuang family, how can she let go of the Jiang family when her ancestral grave has been so humiliated? !
"The Queen Mother's decree!" The princess shouted sternly, and her high-pitched voice instantly suppressed Feng Xue!
… It’s just that Princess Changping relied on the Queen Mother Gu’s decree to force the Jiang family to apologize and restore the ancestral graves to their original state, and then return to Beijing to receive the punishment. Of course, the Jiang family could not agree. Not long after the stalemate between the two families, support from the Queen’s Party arrived: “The Queen Mother’s Yi decree !”
In this way, both sides had Yizhi, and the guards were almost the same. Princess Changping came here alone in a hurry. She thought that she would be the one who suffered the most if she continued to fight hard, so she had no choice but to agree to Jiang Yashuang's suggestion: return to Beijing and fight again!
The reason why Jiang Yashuang was willing to settle the situation was entirely because he was worried about Qiu Yilan's health.
So after returning to Beijing, he accompanied his wife back to the Duke's Mansion. As for the fight with Princess Changping... Anyway, Jiang Yadan was there to take care of it.
Qiu Yilan was really tired after all this running around, so she went back to her room and fell asleep.
She slept for a whole day and night before she woke up. Su He, who was standing by the bed, had bloodshot eyes, but he was very excited when he saw her wake up. While helping her wash up, he called Shen Shui to bring the white fungus and bird's nest to Qiu Yi. Lan is hungry.
Before Qiu Yilan could finish the cup of bird's nest, Su He happily told her: "Young madam, the murderer of Your Majesty has been found! Who do you think it is?"
"Are they from Queen Mother Gu's side?" Qiu Yilan asked with her long eyelashes twitching.
Su He immediately pouted: "It's so boring that you won the first guess..." He was stepped on by the sinking water before he remembered that General Ruan's grave had been dug up just two days ago, even if he is now a The good news should not be too easy.
He quickly straightened his expression and continued, "It's His Royal Highness King Zhou!"
"The son killed his father? Interesting, what's going on?" Qiu Yilan knew that Xue Chang would never let the Yingu Queen Mother go as early as the second queen handed over the matter of the emperor's poisoning to the three prime ministers to lead the investigation. of opportunity!
After all, Xue Chang himself can stabilize the alliance between Tang Zimo and Jiang Tianao, and the entire Queen's Party is on his side in this matter. If he can't trick Queen Mother Gu, he has been in vain as the leader of the neutral party for so many years!
But Qiu Yilan didn't know what Xue Chang would do - now that she heard that he had chosen King Zhou, she asked Su He to be more careful.
"It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is dissatisfied with His Majesty's plan to appoint the Seventh Prince as the Crown Prince!" A clear voice came from outside the door. Su He and Shen Shui quickly stood up and saluted: "Young Master!"
Jiang Yashuang, who looked tired, waved to them and motioned for them to get down. She sat on the edge of the couch and touched Qiu Yilan's forehead, reassuringly, "How do you feel now?"
"Very good." Qiu Yilan said in surprise, "Am I getting a fever?"
"No, I'm just worried that you work too hard and don't know if you're sick." Jiang Yashuang shook her head, "Use the bird's nest quickly, don't let it get cold."
Qiu Yilan scooped up a silver spoon and put it to her lips, and urged: "Is the King of Zhou plotting to kill Your Majesty?"
"Not only did he want to harm His Majesty, he also planned to create auspicious things to promote himself to power. For example, he would imitate his predecessors and stuff rare treasures into the belly of fish, and obtain them for the King of Zhou in full view of the public. Some of his men thought that Grandfather Ruan was buried with him. A rare luminous pearl among things would be nice!" Jiang Yashuang smiled faintly, "Princess Zhou and Princess Changping have always been on good terms. Princess Changping is the wife of Kuang's family... That's the whole story. Xue Xiang has already done this. Ironclad case!"
"... What about Queen Mother Gu now?" Qiu Yilan asked after swallowing the bird's nest and frowning.
Jiang Yashuang stroked her long hair hanging down her shoulders: "It's just a dying struggle!"
How could Xue Chang give Empress Dowager Gu any chance to make a comeback with such a hateful attack that she had been dormant for so long
In fact, both Qiu Yilan and Jiang Yashuang suspected that King Zhou was not the scapegoat originally prepared by Xue Chang. Because the incident of General Ruan’s grave being dug happened, Xue Chang decided to bring the two incidents together. He was chosen as a breakthrough.
Well now, the King of Zhou murdered the emperor in order to seize the heir, and the Kuang family dug the grave to help the King of Zhou—that is to say, the Kuang family not only dug up the grave of their adoptive father in a frenzied manner, but also participated in the regicide!
Now any Darui citizen can legitimately kill the Kuang family and his son, and receive a reward or something from the court... The premise is that they don't go to the wrong yamen and go to the Queen Mother's party, which will be a tragedy...
But just having a righteous name is not enough - Qiu Yilan looked solemnly: "Where is Shazhou?"
"It's only been a few days? The news hasn't arrived yet. The latest news over there is that my brother is fine." Jiang Yashuang frowned when she said this, "But the eighteenth brother-in-law..."
"What's wrong with him?" Qiu Yilan was of course most concerned about Qiu Jinglan's safety at the moment, but Qiu Feng's safety was also his concern. Hearing that Jiang Yashuang's tone was wrong, he quickly asked.
Jiang Yashuang's expression was not so good: "Sister Shiba said that he received news from his brother's subordinates. In order to rescue his brother, he deceived Sister Shiba to go to Shazhou - but this morning I sent someone to send a message. , said that after chasing for these days, there was no trace of Qiu Feng traveling westward! It is suspected that he went to the south! "
Qiu Yilan was greatly surprised: "How could it be?"
"And after I heard the news, I made a special trip to Ruan Mansion to ask Uncle Ruan." Jiang Yashuang frowned, "Uncle Ruan was shocked when he heard about it. He summoned people to ask questions in front of me. Finally, Confirmed, no one has ever gone to the eighteenth brother-in-law!”
He pondered, "Although I haven't met Uncle Ruan many times, I don't think he is lying to me. Among other things, when my brother was in Beijing, he was very close to the eighteenth brother-in-law, which was quite helpful. But when he went west, The eighteenth brother-in-law asked to go with him, but he was refused! In this case, why would my brother ask his subordinates to ask for help? "
There was another sentence that he didn't say because he knew that Qiu Yilan and Qiu Feng had an old friendship: Although Qiu Feng is a famous hero in the world and his martial arts is indeed very good, the current situation in Shazhou makes it difficult for him to go alone. It really doesn't have much effect.
On the contrary, it was a bit of a hindrance - after all, he was his uncle. While protecting Qiu Jinglan, he had to be more or less distracted by looking after him.
This is not to belittle Qiu Feng. What Shazhou is fighting for now is not the force of one or two people at all. In the final analysis, it is IQ and planning.
Qiu Feng is not stupid, but his character is really not suitable for playing tricks.
Qiu Yilan thought for a long time and murmured: "What does he mean?"
She has a deeper understanding of Qiu Feng than Jiang Yashuang. Now when Jiang Yashuang said that Qiu Feng did not go to the west, but went south, she was reminded: Although this eighteenth brother-in-law said that he always followed Qiu Jinglan before, in fact he I don’t like Qiu Jinglan. Although Qiu Yilan still doesn’t know what method Qiu Jinglan uses to tie Qiu Feng to her side, Qiu Feng will definitely not be concerned about Qiu Jinglan’s life and death—unless Qiu Jinglan is interested in Qiu Jinglan’s life and death. What will his own death leave behind to restrain the autumn wind!
Emotionally, Qiu Feng may not deceive his wife and rush thousands of miles to help Qiu Jinglan for her near-death encounter!
In addition, the role of the autumn wind in Shazhou and the possible counter-effects are not something that can be thought of with any profound thinking. Without anyone's persuasion or reminder, Qiu Yilan felt that this eighteenth brother-in-law could understand it on his own, and this brother-in-law was not ignorant. Even if he really wanted to save Qiu Jinglan, how could he make such a common-sense mistake
But it was impossible to say that he deliberately harmed Qiu Jinglan - this person was aboveboard and disdainful of such tactics.
So if you think about it carefully, it is really impossible for the autumn wind to go to the west.
"Does he really want to avoid Jiang Qizheng?" Qiu Yilan bit her lip, doubting this. She knew that Qiu Feng had been trying to avoid Jiang Qizheng since they got married - well, before they got married. Mainly because he didn't know how. Getting along with this princess wife, the huge gap between the two growing up environment makes Qiu Feng feel all sorts of uncomfortable with the life of a consort!
"But when it comes to lying, misleading, and cheating..." Qiu Yilan sighed and leaned weakly on her husband's shoulder, "Qiu Feng, have you become so bad after getting married?!"
