"My mother-in-law and brother-in-law before I adopted the Ruan family have been found and are now secretly on their way to Beijing?" Ruan Qingyan frowned and asked, "Did Hua say that?"
Qiu Yilan nodded: "She also said it was because Queen Mother Gu's attempt to snatch the Lian family's letter from Princess Xihe failed one after another. Someone had an idea and started targeting you, cousin!"
Ruan Qingyan sneered: "Start with me? Am I such an easy person to bully?"
"Cousin, when you adopted the Ruan family before, did you tell your family about it?" Qiu Yilan said thoughtfully, "From what Hua Shen said, your aunt and uncle planned to say that you gave up your original identity as a civilian in order to become the son of the general's mansion. And the ancestral hall…”
I have to say that this plan by Empress Dowager Gu is extremely vicious!
The crime of abandoning the ancestral hall is more serious than regicide and patricide at this time!
"Don't worry, the ones they are looking for are definitely not my former aunt and uncle!" Ruan Qingyan sneered, "They are probably looking at my former aunt and uncle since no one in Beijing knows my former aunt and uncle... I looked for two southern ones. Someone with the same accent and age is here to disrupt the situation!”
Qiu Yilan was surprised: "How do you know?"
"...I'll tell you later." A flash of pain flashed through Ruan Qingyan's eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "What's fake is fake. I'm not afraid that they won't reveal their true nature!"
"I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Gu and the others knew that once the letter from the Lian family arrived, Qiu Mengmin was doomed to be in the wrong, so they grabbed you here and wouldn't let you go - it was you who proposed the letter from the Ruan family and the Lian family." Qiu Yilan sighed, "Right now, the Jiang family's attention is focused on the Lian family's letter. Even if they knew that Queen Mother Gu was targeting you, they probably wouldn't be able to spare many manpower - the person who gave Queen Mother Gu this idea is really insidious!"
Ruan Qingyan smiled: "Don't believe too much in Hua. Now many people know that I am going to end soon. She rushed here to tell the news. Who knows whether it is true or not? Maybe it is just to make me uneasy. , What about those who didn’t do well in the exam?”
Qiu Yilan was stunned for a moment - then she heard Ruan Qingyan continue, "People's hearts are unpredictable, not to mention that Hua has been reduced to a gangster since she was a child. Although she is only a few years older than you, her experience is beyond the reach of ordinary people. You see, she seems to be protecting me everywhere. , But have you forgotten? Regarding Sai Huakui, I am on the side of her arch-rival Penglai Yue because of Ling Xiaohou. Do you think she is so repaying kindness with kindness? "
Seeing Qiu Yilan looking at him but hesitating to speak, Ruan Qingyan gave a serious lesson, "So don't think that someone is a good person just because he treats you well on the surface!"
Finally coming to the topic, "Jiang Yashuang, that kid is pretty good-looking and polite when talking to you. But you think, if you don't say that your engagement hasn't been terminated yet, even if it is resolved, you haven't left the court and are not intimate with him. Girl, he invites you to be alone again and again. Is this what a gentleman does? It shows that he is not a good person, he has ulterior motives and is sanctimonious... "
Listening to Ruan Qingyan spare no effort in smearing Jiang Yashuang, Qiu Yilan coughed: "I was just thinking about how to remind my cousin that Huashen may not be trustworthy... I didn't know that my cousin had already thought of it."
"Do you still need to remind me about this kind of thing?" Ruan Qingyan sneered, "I've probably groomed more famous prostitutes than anyone you know... cough cough cough cough!"
Suddenly realizing that he seemed to have said something that would pollute his cousin's soul, Ruan Qingyan retreated in embarrassment, "Anyway, when Hua Shenshen comes over from now on, don't go see her. With her status, how can she be qualified to talk to you directly?!"
Before he finished speaking, he randomly found a reason to continue studying and left...
"Ahem, there are more famous prostitutes with combed hair than the people I know?" Qiu Yilan smirked behind him, "No way? I can't tell that you are too drunk, okay? You still spend money Are you just chatting when everyone is covering up with quilts?"
"Princess Princess, if your cousin hears what you say, he will definitely punish you again!" Su He reminded with blinking eyes.
The corner of Qiu Yilan's mouth twitched: "If you dare to complain, I will make you a blind, dumb and deaf lame pockmark from now on!"
Su He smiled and said: "My maid is not afraid! The princess loves my maid, so she will not cheat her on important matters in life!"
Sure enough, you can’t teach your maid to be too smart
Qiu Yilan said fiercely: "Then I'll fine you this month's money!"
Su He immediately burst into tears, raised his hands and said, "I will never spread the word!"
"Hmph!" Qiu Yilan raised her head proudly, "Okay, it's time to serve grandpa and drink the medicine!"
General Ruan's body was not in good shape to begin with, and this sudden violent vomiting of blood destroyed the last bit of his vitality. The old man was lying in a luxurious brocade quilt, looking so skinny and lonely that it made people cry.
The bloody handkerchiefs were taken out one after another. Although it gradually stopped after a few days, it was still shocking enough.
There were heavy clouds all over the General's Mansion, and everyone felt like a big stone was weighing on their hearts.
Ruan An, the housekeeper, after knowing that the old general's time was running out, he didn't even want to take care of things, and stayed by the couch silently weeping.
He is a servant of the Ruan family and the servant of General Ruan when he was a boy. Accompanying General Ruan in battles all his life; accompanying him to the death of his children and grandchildren; in the end, General Ruan was defeated and was questioned. He also took off his armor and returned to the Ruan family as a servant, continuing to accompany the old general to guard the whole country. Spend the rest of his life in the general's mansion, which is declining day by day.
This kind of master-servant relationship, although not brothers, is deeper than ordinary brotherly love.
"Uncle Ruan, please go and have a rest. I'll take care of my grandfather's medicine." Ruan An was relieved of his burden. The General's Mansion could not be left unattended or left to Ruan Qingyan, so Qiu Yilan had no choice but to take over as the temporary housekeeper and let Ruan An have more free time. Accompany Old General Ruan.
However, looking at Ruan An's dejected and sad look, she decided to advise Ruan An to rest, "Grandpa is like this. From now on, the Ruan family will have to rely on my cousin. If you don't take care of yourself, will your cousin win the Jinshi? Do you want to continue to manage things inside and outside? How can he be so busy?"
After saying this several times in a row, Ruan An raised his head blankly, and was half-supported and half-pulled by Xishuo to rest. Qiu Yilan fed Old General Ruan the medicine for a while, and suddenly thought of something, and his face couldn't help but change!
She absent-mindedly waited for General Ruan to finish drinking the medicine. It was rare that she did not stay to chat with the speechless old general. She thrust the bowl into Xisong's hand, got up and walked out: "Where is my cousin? I have something to ask. he!"
"You want to know why grandpa is like this?" Ruan Qingyan was next door. When he saw Qiu Yilan rushing in, he stood up slightly in surprise, "Old doctor Qi said that the main reason is excessive worry and anger. The so-called anger hurts the liver and thinking hurts the spleen. The liver stores blood and is the official organ of the general; the spleen governs the blood of all meridians..."
"I don't understand what you are saying!" Qiu Yilan directly admitted that she was uneducated, "Anyway, didn't Dr. Qi say that my grandfather had been poisoned?"
Ruan Qingyan's face suddenly became serious: "Poison? Are you sure? What kind of poison is it?"
"I'm not sure! That's why I'm asking you." Qiu Yilan's heart sank! His face remained calm, and he said blankly, "I just thought that my grandfather has been taking good care of himself, so why did he suddenly... vomit blood? During these days, Queen Mother Gu and the others are trying their best to deal with us. Are you not careful? What loophole did they take advantage of?"
After watching her for a moment, Ruan Qingyan couldn't find any flaws, so he said: "Old doctor Qi was invited by Jiang Yashuang. If there are traces of my grandfather being murdered, he will definitely tell it! After all, once it is found out, It was Queen Mother Gu who did this, and the Jiang family has another handle."
Since Mrs. Qi did not say anything, it means that General Ruan was not poisoned—or, in other words, he did not discover that General Ruan was poisoned!
But General Ruan was clearly poisoned!
Sleeping fragrance!
Qiu Yilan had just passed through, and when sorting out the memory of the original owner, she noticed that the most profound memory of the original owner was that Princess Ruan resolutely chose to commit suicide so that she could leave the Qiu family without worries!
Secondly, it’s the Sleeping Fragrance!
"But regarding Youmianxiang's memory, not only did Princess Ruan tell the original owner that she and Old General Ruan were poisoned by this poison... but also Princess Ruan sternly warned the original owner not to reveal this secret!" Qiu Yilan left the study. , on the way back to Green Rose Garden, her heart was ups and downs, and she was thinking quickly, "You can't even mention the words 'mnemonic fragrance' in front of anyone! Because if you mention it, there will be huge disasters." !”
Qiu Yilan asked Kang Jinzhang specifically at the beginning, but unfortunately at that time, she estimated that the thickness of the snow under the cliff would definitely not kill Kang Jinzhang, but this guy had committed too many sins, and he was so desperate that he was buried alive as retribution...
If I had known this, I should have asked everything I wanted to ask on the cliff...
In short, because of Princess Ruan's warning in her memory, Qiu Yilan carefully concealed these three words. She would rather expose Qiu Mengmin's disrespect for her aunt, Princess Xihe, than dare to tell the truth about Mrs. Lu's plot to murder Princess Ruan and her daughter!
Originally, she thought that she could not mention these three words but could let others say them.
but…
"If the poison of Youmianxiang cannot be detected at all, how did Princess Ruan know about it? Considering the Ruan family's downfall, they probably couldn't find a good doctor at that time. It would be good to hire an imperial doctor with an average status."
"Qi Shuluo, the old doctor from Qi who was invited by Jiang Yashuang, is said to have a high status in the hospital - it is said that he cannot fail to see the real reason for General Ruan's appearance!"
Qiu Yilan carefully recalled the changes in Qi Shuluo's expression when he diagnosed and treated General Ruan...
Suddenly, she remembered that at that time... When Jiang Yashuang asked Qi Shuluo whether General Ruan could still be saved, Qi Shuluo looked solemn but a little uneasy...
At that time, Qiu Yilan thought that General Ruan was in serious condition. Now that he thought about it, he might have noticed the scent of Youmian...
But this old doctor actually chose to shut up!
"What kind of major event is this Mianxiang involved in, or does it have such a remarkable origin, that it is so threatening?!" Qiu Yilan felt extremely confused and deeply fearful, "The problem is, such a taboo Poison, how could Mrs. Lu have an abandoned concubine?"
Originally, after boarding the boat of the Jiang family, and with the concubine's autographed letter collected by the Ruan family and the Lian family as a killer weapon, Qiu Yilan already felt that she had a chance to win, and a better life was beckoning to her - now in this misty and mysterious world... Mianxiang once again made her feel the danger everywhere...
"No matter what, let Mrs. Lu die first." After all, there are too many precarious days in the apocalypse. When he stepped into Green Rose Garden, Qiu Yilan had already adjusted his mentality, "Take one step at a time... Well, eat and sleep." Hitting my cousin—at least life was good back then..."
