After Jiang Yashuang was called back and heard Qiu Yilan explain the reason, she readily promised: "I'll send someone to take care of it right away!"
"The Gu family hasn't collapsed yet!" Qiu Yilan reminded him not to take it lightly, "And I don't know what they are thinking? Don't forget, Swingset held me hostage back then. Maybe they will think we have bad intentions!"
Jiang Yashuang said with a smile: "With the current situation, even a blind person can see that Gu's family can't help it. Unless they are determined to die, even if they suspect that our family has bad intentions, they will definitely give it a try. Besides, if you want Kill them and why bother with them?"
Qiu Yilan thought about it and said: "Then I'll wait for your news - you can also think of a way for me to arrange the person after he is found. I don't understand the matter of establishing an heir. I want to wait for my brother to come back. Let him decide.”
"Just find some other courtyard to hide them." This didn't matter to Jiang Yashuang at all. "Send a few people to take a look. Isn't their martial arts useless anyway? Just call a few guards."
As a result, the young couple here settled the matter easily, but Queen Jiang, who was waiting for the Guangyang Palace to fall into the trap, caught Mei Xue and the swing!
Simply speaking, Jiang Yashuang was second only to Qin Guogong in the Jiang family regarding the news from Queen Jiang - after hearing the news, she quickly went to the palace to plead for mercy!
Empress Jiang would definitely not agree before putting it aside. Although Mei Xue and Zhuoqian were not members of the Gu family, they had been staying in the Gu family for so long, so she was not afraid that the fire would not burn the Gu family! How can one care about the face of a niece-in-law in such a big event like a court battle
However, the discovery of General Ruan's tomb made the queen feel guilty and guilty all the time. In addition, what Jiang Yashuang said made sense: "Gu Yan did not let the Gu family do it himself, nor did he send any family members to have children. It can be seen that he also expected By the time we sit back and wait, these two women are also abandoned - they are in the same group as Qiu Nie and the others. Now that Qiu Nie has not come forward, he is obviously being held hostage by Gu Yan. It is said that Mei Xue is in love with Qiu Nie, and that swing is even more important. Her brother took Ning Yi seriously, even though he knew it would anger his cousin Qiu Jinglan, just to save Qiu Nie's life! What do you think these two people can ask, they are so desperate? Most likely I would rather die!"
"Come on, these two women are very lucky, so I will give them to you and take them back to your wife!" Empress Jiang rubbed her forehead. It was so easy for her to set up such a trap, but now it was in vain. Naturally, she felt a little resentful. But he still said, "But since Qiu Nie is held captive by Gu Yan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rescue him... Qiu Zhongyan's heir... His family must have an heir elsewhere. I will ask people to pay more attention to Qiu Nie and do my best after finding out." Preserve his."
Jiang Yashuang smiled and said: "I know Fourth Aunt loves us!"
"Fourth Aunt also knows that you love your wife the most now!" Empress Jiang picked up a candied fruit from the fruit plate angrily and hit him, "Go back and talk to your wife!" If you give the Qiu family an heir, even if Qiu Yilan later The brother and sister suspected that the Jiang family had manipulated the excavation of General Ruan's grave, so there shouldn't be any hatred, at most, displeasure, right? After all, this is a major matter for succession!
The queen watched her nephew laugh and accept the candied fruit before leaving, thinking silently in her heart.
After Jiang Yashuang came out of the palace, he received Mei Xue and Zhuoqian - because they were both young and beautiful women, he didn't meet them, so he asked Jiang Tan to make arrangements, and he returned to the Duke's Mansion to report to his wife.
After hearing the result, Qiu Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: "Gu Yan is so vicious! He just grabbed Qiu Nie! Now it's trouble!" Qiu Nie is the key to establishing an heir!
"Don't worry. Didn't Fourth Aunt promise to help keep an eye on them in the future and rescue them immediately if found?" Jiang Yashuang comforted, "Besides, I'm afraid Gu Yan can't control that much now. Mei Xue and the others will take action." If he is caught instead, he is too busy dealing with Queen Mother Gu! Not to mention that he has always been the one who makes the decision about the entire Gu family. It must be enough to bother him, so why bother to trouble Qiu Nie? "
What he said was right - when Gu Yan learned that Mei Xue and Swing Qian had just sneaked into Gu Wanna's yard and were taken away, he broke out in a cold sweat: "Sure enough!"
His palace has always been deep-tempered, and he has handled many private matters for Queen Mother Gu over the years that cannot be publicly announced. If you do too many secretive things, people will naturally become suspicious. Therefore, even though the news was delayed due to being banned from entering the palace for more than half a year, and it was not discovered that the queen's party had deliberately leaked the news to Queen Mother Gu, Gu Weina's fake death was not discovered, but she still instinctively sent two people who were not closely related to the Gu family. , and someone with a handle to test the waters.
Now it seems that I have saved my life, otherwise the Guangyang Palace might have been surrounded by the Royal Forest Army!
Gu Yan was both happy and worried at the same time. Although Gu Shuo, who was waiting for the news with him, was his father, he had always been mediocre and incompetent. He basically listened to others all his life. At this moment, as usual, he asked in confusion: "Yan'er! What should I do now? ?”
"... My aunt's orders must be followed. Otherwise, it will be a big deal to offend my aunt. We have never avoided graceful things in our family before! The queen will be unable to do anything about my aunt for a while, and she will definitely take advantage of our family. Start first!" Gu Yan was confused when he thought of this, but he knew that Gu Shuo was timid. If he saw his son who was usually the best at making decisions panic, he wouldn't be so frightened that he would seek his own death first - he would have to force himself. She comforted him and said, "But father, don't worry. The child has just thought of an idea. Now I'll tell someone to do it. I think everything will be fine when I turn around!"
Gu Shuo asked worriedly: "What's the idea?"
"My child is just thinking about it now. I will have to discuss it carefully with the people below before I can make a decision." Gu Yan coaxed and deceived, "Don't you still believe my father? How many troubles have arisen over the years that were not settled by my child?"
Of course, mediocre people have no chance of being shrewd. Gu Shuo thought for a while in confusion: "Well, then you go ahead and do it... Okay, tell me!"
"Father, please don't worry!" Gu Yan stood up and respectfully sent his father off. As soon as Gu Shuo left, a hint of sinisterness flashed across his face, "Go and find Qiu Nie!" At this point, he didn't want to use the last step. My hands can’t do it either!
After Qiu Nie was brought over, he knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Gu Yan's face, and subconsciously asked: "Sister Xue and Qian'er?"
"They fell into a trap!" Gu Yan looked at him with a sinister expression and said happily, "They were caught by the Queen's people! It is said that Jiang Jiujiu personally took away the heels - I thought about it carefully , could it be that the trap was intentional, and they just took the opportunity to escape? Otherwise, why would Jiang Jiu go to pick her up? I remember that Jiang Jiu's wife, the very beautiful Ning Yi, is your brother and sister's cousin, right? "
"If she hadn't had a good brother, she would have been killed by Qian'er earlier!" Qiu Nie frowned, "Both Princess Ning Yi and Qiu Jinglan are not tolerant people! The three of us had offended them so much, and they How could he let us go? It's probably because Ning Yi heard that Sister Xue and Qian'er were captured by the Queen and remembered her past grudges, so she asked Jiang Jiu to arrest them for revenge! "
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "If that's the case, what use do you have?"
Qiu Nie's face changed slightly: "In the past few years, we have worked for the Gu family..."
"I did something!" Gu Yan sneered, "But the Gu family also protected you, didn't they? Otherwise Qiu Jinglan would have crushed all three of you to death with one hand!"
"The asylum was promised by the Queen Mother herself when she first defected to the Gu family!" Qiunie's scar-covered face twisted, "The things she has done for the Gu family over the years..."
Gu Yan glanced at him sarcastically: "I only said that I would protect you, but I didn't say that I would support you! Do you want to be the Gu family's firewood and rice for free?"
He made it clear that he was going to burn the bridge across the river, and he was doing so with confidence. Qiu Nie knew that it would be useless to talk more, so he could only sigh: "If the prince is worried about the current situation, Nie is willing to do the hard work!"
"What use do you have in today's situation?" Gu Yan asked with a sneer, "Even though you had some strength before, all your martial arts were lost to Qiu Jinglan... Now you are not as useful as Mei Xue and Swing, and those two are useless anyway. What a beauty!”
Listening to his harsh words, Qiu Nie calmed down: "If Nie is really worthless, with the dignity of the prince, would I still have a word with Nie Luo?" He had already directly ordered his subordinates to present my head, okay?
Sure enough, Gu Yan didn't get angry but smiled instead, and even glanced at him with admiration: "You are worthy of being the right protector of Tianya. How many times have you been... This prince does have something for you to do, but now Mei Xue and Swing Everything has fallen into the hands of the Jiang family, and I am really worried about letting you go out to do things alone! What should I do?"
Qiu Nie smiled nonchalantly: "Since the Crown Prince has called Nie to come, he has obviously thought of everything. Nie has nothing but respect for the Crown Prince's orders!"
"When the three of you betrayed Qiu Jinglan and held Ning Yi hostage, although you did not succeed, the hatred has been forged!" Gu Yan took a sip of tea, "My Gu family is here, even if you are driven, it is okay! I, Gu If your family is lost, what will happen to you, Mei Xue and Swing are just examples today!"
It was obvious that he also thought that Mei Xue and Zhu Qian would not end well after Jiang Yashuang asked them to leave.
Qiu Nie said calmly: "So if it's about reversing the situation, Nie will naturally go all out!"
"Very good!" Gu Yan flicked his sleeves, dismissed the others, and then said slowly, "I want you to do something!"
"A big deal!"
"Kill the king!"
"What?!" As soon as Gu Yan finished speaking, Qiu Nie, who was about to express her determination, looked up in shock!
Gu Yan looked at him expressionlessly: "What? Didn't you just say you were willing to go all out?"
"But does this have anything to do with the current situation?!" Qiu Nie looked like a madman.
"The current situation is not something that people like you can consider!" Gu Yan sneered, "You just have to do what I ask you to do!"
Qiu Nie said hysterically: "How is this possible?! If it were Nie Wugong who was still there, there would be no hope of sneaking into the palace to assassinate His Majesty - let alone how much better would Nie be now than a useless person?!"
"Don't worry about entering the palace!" Gu Yan said indifferently, "Although the Queen Mother is at a disadvantage now, there is no problem for me to take you into the palace! Especially after Chu Weisang was established as the Crown Prince, the Queen was very concerned about Her Majesty's safety. Don’t worry about it anymore… It’s just the right time for you to take action!”
Qiu Nie took a deep breath: "If that's the case, why use Nie? In the palace..." Does your Gu family lack manpower in the palace? !
"I have my own plans!" Gu Yan's eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Just tell me, will you do this or not?!"
"...Is it because of Nie Naiqiu's bloodline?" Qiu Nie was silent for a while and asked quietly, "After Nie kills the king, the crown prince can announce that Nie pretended to defect to Qiu Jinglan or the Jiang family, but in fact In order to wait for the title of crown prince to be determined, he committed regicide and framed the Gu family - but was discovered by the Queen Mother or the Crown Prince? "
Gu Yan's pupils shrank, but he regained his composure in the blink of an eye: "In fact, the only ones sent to clean up the house were Mei Xue and another maid."
Qiu Nie was startled.
Gu Yan continued: "Your sister Zhuqian, I placed her in another place."
"... Dare I ask the prince, when will you bring Nie into the palace?" Qiu Nie was silent for a moment and asked calmly.
