With the queen here, even if they were talking in a circle, everyone would know what was interesting and not disturb them, but they would always keep an eye on them. Earlier, when Jiang Qizheng and He Shuijin went out, some people started talking and speculating; then Fan Sulian hurried over with Li Gen in his arms, and the discussion became louder; now Qiu Yilan was about to leave, and was dragged by the Queen and Zhuang Man In a hurry, all the eyes in the palace looked over!
Empress Dowager Jiang, who was talking to a group of concubines and old ladies, was pulled down by Ms. Lin's sleeves. She turned around and saw Qiu Yilan's back walking away in a hurry. She asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
When she spoke, Qiu Yilan had already hurried out of the palace. The queen and Zhuang Man, who were about to catch up, had to stay and explain to her: "Shao'er is naughty. Just now he suddenly left the palace with his cousins." The man ran towards the imperial garden, Princess Ningyi was worried and wanted to catch up and take a look! "
Empress Dowager Jiang smiled when she heard this and said nonchalantly: "It's normal for children to be naughty. Ms. Lin, please go out and call the two teams of servants to help. Let's just eat our wine!"
Everyone heard that the Queen Mother did not want this incident to disturb the atmosphere of the banquet, and they all raised their glasses to cooperate.
After a while, the Queen Mother saw that everyone was no longer paying much attention to Danchi. Fang summoned the Queen to her side and asked quietly: "Although Shao'er is a bit delicate and willful, he is not a reasonable person. Why are you acting so nonsense tonight?"
The queen said helplessly: "Actually, I don't know if it was Shao'er who started it, but he has the most noble status, so naturally he takes the responsibility - I think when the children get excited when they come to play together, they are all fond of holding hands. Baby, are you acting more and more nonsense?"
The oldest child, who is less than six years old, will come up with ideas one after another. When they cause mischief, cats hate dogs. When people go crazy, their ideas are boundless. How can they guess accurately
The Queen Mother frowned and said: "Chunfu and Shuijin will just go and pay it back. My nineteenth daughter-in-law is pregnant. If something like this happens next time, you'd better stop her! The snowy road is slippery today. If you fall, What should I do if I encounter it?”
"My daughter-in-law didn't think well!" the queen thought to herself, why didn't I stop her? But even if Qiu Yilan was pregnant, I, a weak and authentic woman, couldn't stop her - but she still meekly admitted her mistake and offered to make amends, "My daughter-in-law is sending someone to get her back now?"
"I just told Ms. Lin to do it." Empress Dowager Jiang was very satisfied with her attitude. She patted the back of her hand and said gently, "Just remember it next time!"
"Concubine Lin?" The queen thought a little when she heard this. At first, Concubine Lin wanted to give the palace lady Niguang to Jiang Yashuang as a concubine. This matter was delayed for a long time. In the end, the Duke of E's wife wanted to repay Qiu Yilan for her favor. The queen's suggestion solved Ni Guang's problem once and for all - of course the queen knew that Ms. Lin had long planned to get involved in Jiang Yashuang's backyard!
At this moment, I heard that the Queen Mother had sent Miss Lin to recover Qiu Yilan, and I was quite uneasy. "Isn't Miss Lin taking the opportunity to do anything to Yilan?"
But then I thought, "How dare she do this on the bright side?" Besides, Qiu Yilan is not a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken. If Miss Lin confronts her head on, who will suffer the loss
"The Queen Mother Lin is an old man who has been with the Queen Mother for many years. I can't say that there is something wrong with her without proof..." The Queen returned to her seat from the Queen Mother. She still felt that she could not rest assured, but she had not been intimate with her since ancient times, and she did not dare to. Go tell the Queen Mother about Miss Lin. While hesitating, he suddenly realized that Fan Sulian was not there. He asked in surprise: "Where is Miss Fan's family?"
"I just went out with Mrs. Ruan." Zuo Zuo said, "It seems that I am going to change clothes with Young Master Li."
Li Gen didn't need Fan Sulian's help at all to change her clothes. She probably had to clean up herself. The queen did not take this matter to heart anymore, and frowned, worrying about Qiu Yilan again. At this time, Qiu Yilan, relying on her long steps, had already left Hibiscus and Mulan who had followed her out of the palace far away. Arrive at the Royal Garden!
As soon as they entered, they saw bright lights. Following the voices, it was easy to find Jiang Qizheng and He Shuijin, as well as a few small figures beside them.
Qiu Yilan was about to breathe a sigh of relief. After taking a closer look, she couldn't help but be shocked: "Where are An'er, Lang'er and the eldest prince?!"
The eldest princes Chu Shao, Jiang Jingkun, Qiu Yeming, Li Zhen, Jiang Jinglang, and Jiang Jingya were having a snowball fight together before. When he ran towards the imperial garden, Li Zhen was hugged back by Fan Sulian, and now he is standing beside Jiang Qizheng and He Shuijinshen. Yes, surprisingly only Qiu Yeming and Jiang Jingya were missing, but Chu Shao, Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang were nowhere to be seen!
"We're looking for this group of little guys. As soon as they came in, they dispersed and burrowed everywhere. They lit up the lights and searched the cave garden one by one before they found them!" Jiang Qizheng's face turned red, and He Shuijin's face was also livid, and he was grabbing They looked at their sons and shouted sternly, "Speak quickly! Where are the eldest prince, An'er, and Lang'er?! Do you still want to be beaten if you don't tell me?!"
Qiu Yilan lowered her head and saw that both Qiu Yeming and Jiang Jingya's young faces were a little red. If you look carefully, you can see the traces of fingerprints - she knew that both Jiang Qizheng and He Shuijin were very doting on their children, and they usually didn't To say that he was beaten was to say that he was reluctant to even say harsh words. This time, she actually started to fight. Firstly, she wanted to give her an explanation to save her relatives' face. Secondly, I'm afraid she was really anxious!
"Since we lit up all the lights and searched all the cave gardens, how could we not find the three of them?!" Qiu Yilan felt frightened when she thought about it. Children are indeed very dexterous and easy to hide, but no matter how dexterous they are, how can they hide easily? There are three people! The Royal Garden is so big, how could it be possible to hide even one person? !
She suppressed her anger and fear, squatted down, and asked kindly: "Fu'er, Ya'er, don't be anxious, think carefully, which way did the eldest prince and your Jiang family brothers and brothers... run in before? Don't panic, carefully." I think you must have seen it since you were all together, right?”
He also thought about the ignorance of children. Don't think that you will be beaten if you are found now. You are worried that Chu Shao and the others will be beaten as well, so I made a show of loyalty and promised, "After you find them, you continue to play, and you will definitely not beat them." OK?"
Who would have thought that Qiu Yeming and Jiang Jingya hesitated for a long time, and finally cried "Wow": "I don't know... I really don't know... At the beginning... the eldest prince and the others... in front... and then... I didn't see them..."
Three-year-old Jiang Jingya was still at an ignorant age and didn't understand anything at all. He just did whatever his brothers did, and even when he was beaten, he didn't understand why. Where can this be made clear? Five-year-old Qiu Yeming was a little better than him, but even though he was crying and talking, it took a long time for adults to understand what he meant:
It was true that Chu Shao took the lead and ran towards the Royal Garden. He did run at the front at the beginning - including Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang. The problem was that these three people fell behind for some reason. Qiu Yeming and Jiang Jingya only knew that they were behind them, so after running into the imperial garden, they saw the pursuers approaching and did not bother to look back in their panic. , just found a place to get in and hide!
So now I ask them where Chu Shao and the other three are hiding... They really don't know!
Originally, he was holding back his temper to coax Qiu Yeming to talk, but after listening, Qiu Yilan couldn't bear it anymore! He straightened up and asked Jiang Qizheng and He Shuijin in a deep voice: "Are you sure you have searched the entire garden just now?"
"I've looked for them all!" The aunt and sister-in-law looked pale, and their voices trembled when they answered, "Even the lakeside..."
Just as he said this, a chamberlain suddenly ran over. Before he arrived, he shouted out of breath: "Your Highness, two madams! Ms. Lin was ordered by the Queen Mother to bring people to help find the princess." The prince and several young gentlemen... seemed to have found a line of children's footprints by the lake! "
There was a "buzzing" sound in Qiu Yilan's head. Under the drastic change of mood, even a feeling of discomfort immediately rose in her lower abdomen!
She gritted her teeth, stepped forward and asked, "Where's the lake?!"
The waiter turned around and ran: "Over there!"
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Qizheng and He Shuijin were also stunned. They quickly thrust their son into the wet nurse's hands, picked up their skirts and ran after him, "We also searched the lakeside over there just now, and there was no trace at all!"
But where could Qiu Yilan hear these words at this moment
With her nephew and son in her heart, she pressed her belly and rushed to the lake pointed by the waiter. Sure enough, she saw a line of small and exquisite footprints, seemingly stumbling into the lake - the lake was covered with ice this season, and now those There were also traces of being trampled on the ice. Qiu Yilan almost stopped breathing when her eyes touched a small, half-wet sachet on the ice: Originally, Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang were only this old, and Qiu Yilan hadn't prepared anything for them yet. sachet.
But when we drove into the palace today, the two children were bored in the car and played with her sachet. Qiu Yilan couldn't help but untied it and gave it to them - although she didn't know that the sachet later fell into Jiang Jingkun's hands. It's still in Jiang Jinglang's hands, but now that it appears here, then...
She bit the tip of her tongue hard to regain her consciousness. Through the palace lantern hanging on the willow tree by the lake, she could vaguely see a white thing floating in the middle of the lake!
Without thinking, Qiu Elan jumped in without hesitation!
Jiang Qizheng and He Shuijin were both weaklings. Although they tried their best to follow her, they arrived a step too late. When they saw her jumping into the lake and swimming towards the center of the lake, the two sisters went crazy: "You Don’t you want to die? You’re still pregnant!”
After all, Jiang Qizheng was a person who had been tempered by the trip to Shazhou. She was shocked and suddenly thought: "Didn't you say that Ms. Lin found traces?! What about Ms. Lin?" At this moment, the surroundings were quiet. Where was Ms. Lin? shadow
"And why didn't the chamberlain who reported the news earlier go to rescue him?!" He Shuijin also blurted out - at this time, they looked at each other and realized that the chamberlain who reported the news just now had disappeared!
"Oops!!!" Both my sister-in-law and sister-in-law are accustomed to conspiracies. How could they not know that Qiu Yilan was being plotted against? ! Quickly order the people around, "Quick! Go down and save people! If something happens to the nineteen brothers and sisters, none of you will be able to get over it!!!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Jiang Yashuang's frightened and angry shout from not far away: "Lan Lan?!"
The man in the red robe and golden crown was at his peak at that moment. The strong wind brought by his clothes brushed the weeping willows on the shore, causing the original jade tree to rustle. In a moment, all the snow on the tree was gone, and it returned to its original state. Xiao Suo - She had already lost all consciousness due to the freezing cold water of the lake on New Year's Eve. She held on to the small body in her arms with only one breath in her heart. The last thing Qiu Yilan saw in her eyes was her husband stepping on the ice like a crane. After treading water several times, he appeared in front of him almost in a snap of his fingers, grabbing his arm tightly!
Her heart relaxed, and she felt her body become extremely heavy, as if there was a huge force pulling her to the bottom of the lake. The moment she fell into darkness, she used her last strength to push the person in her arms towards Jiang Yashuang: "First …Save…the child!”
