The day before, Qiu Yilan was still full of resentment and concluded that the assassination of Prince Hui was nothing but a self-directed and self-acted drama - maybe the mastermind was not Prince Hui or even the prince, but the target of the attack would definitely be on her husband!
Who would have thought that Jiang Shan would tell her that her husband's subordinates and students did this!
"Then the news of the assassination reached Beijing, but except for some reactions on the scene, there was no movement!" Qiu Yilan felt dizzy at the moment, "I said they were planning to collect evidence to slander Nineteenth There is no way to refute it. Now it seems that the assassin has been caught directly and there is irrefutable evidence, so he is not in a hurry to cause trouble for the 19th—simply wait for Bage to bring the assassin back to the capital? "
"How far has this matter come to now?!" After being frightened and angry, Qiu Yilan thought of her husband's current situation, took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and asked Jiang Shan in a deep voice, "Is there any hope of recovery? No , to escape?"
Jiang Shan's face turned pale: "I don't even know! This matter was done by Mr. Tang and Mr. Lu. From what they said, it seems that they didn't even tell the prince! However, these two have never been able to stop things. People, the Queen has just passed away, and the death knell has been heard throughout the capital, they will not know it! At this moment, they are still in a hurry to find the prince, I am afraid... "
I'm afraid things have reached an irreversible point, and I can't do it without notifying Jiang Yashuang!
"You watch from outside, I'll go in and tell Nineteen first - I don't know if he can listen now or not! Even if he listens, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave the palace to deal with it himself!" Qiu Yilan bit her lips and thought quickly. After a while, he said, "If that's the case, then I will find a way to get out of the palace to see them!"
Jiang Shan opened her mouth, but stopped talking.
"You guard the door first!" Qiu Yilan understood what he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it: Jiang Yashuang may not be able to handle this situation well, so what can she do as a prostitute
She had no intention of explaining to Jiang Shan, but she made up her mind: "If the proof is solid, then I will admit that I was the one who instigated Tang Sipeng and Lu He behind Nineteen's back!"
After all, Emperor Zhaode is still alive. With this old emperor here, even if Jiang Yashuang makes a big mistake, it is impossible to be sentenced to death! And no matter how partial the prince and his wife are, they can't be so partial that they kill their son, right? Prince Huijun is not dead again!
"The most important thing is that Prince Hui loves Jiujiu very much. He would definitely rather believe that my unrelated sister-in-law wants to kill him than that his biological brother wants to kill him!"
Of course, in this case, Jiang Yashuang would have no hope of competing for the position of grandson.
"However, even though my father-in-law and mother-in-law do not want Nineteen to ascend the throne in the future, they still hope that he can assist Prince Hui. In this case, they will not be too unfair to Nineteen - Nineteen's status is preserved, and the children will not even think about it. I feel so wronged. Besides, my brother, Man’er, and Sister Shiba are watching!”
As for what situation he has fallen into, whether he assassinated the emperor's direct grandson or was the future grandson candidate whom the prince tried his best to support, how could he not pay the price
"But Chu Yitong... I don't trust her! If I really need to go out to protect Prince Chongjun's Mansion, I will drag her and Prince Yongyi's Mansion with me no matter what!" Qiu Yilan made a plan in just a few breaths , pushed the door open and entered the tent. She saw her husband lying on the couch with his eyes closed. She didn't know whether he was asleep or awake. She sat down beside the couch and reached out to shake his shoulder.
"..." After a while, Jiang Yashuang opened her eyes.
A side hall is also a hall, and a room that can be called a hall is deeper and wider than an ordinary house. Therefore, even if two lamps are lit in the room, it is still very dark in the tent, and only the outline can be seen. At this moment, his eyes, which were always as bright as stars, were slightly dim, but his expression could not be seen clearly. He asked hoarsely, "Are you going to keep a vigil?"
"No, something happened between Mr. Tang and He'er." Qiu Yilan said as calmly as possible, "They..."
Who would have thought that before she said this, Jiang Yashuang suddenly turned over and sat up - he moved so quickly that Qiu Yilan was shocked and hurriedly supported her: "Be careful!"
Just now outside Bei Que's dormitory, even Emperor Zhaode and the Crown Prince were carefully supporting him! How could I endure such an exciting event
But Jiang Yashuang put one hand on her forehead and seemed to have calmed down her dizziness. Then she gently broke away from her support and pulled her into her arms with her backhand!
Before Qiu Yilan could react, she heard his lips opening and closing, almost covering her earlobe, and asked inaudibly: "Bago was assassinated, was it really them?"
There was no need for his wife to answer. She only felt her whole body tremble in an instant. Jiang Yashuang had already sneered, "I asked them before when the news of Bage's assassination came back, but they still refused to admit it... Now that the secret has been exposed, I know how to confess." ?”
Qiu Yilan was about to speak when her waist relaxed and was released.
"Go and tell your mother that I want to stay in the courtyard where the emperor's grandmother lived in the imperial grandfather's mansion for a while. She will allow it!" Jiang Yashuang stood up, took off her robe from the hanger next to her, and He quickly put on his clothes, belts and other items while saying calmly, "I'm going out of the palace to clean up their aftermath... Don't worry, nothing will happen! I knew they would do this, so I was on guard against it earlier!"
"But your body..." Qiu Yilan was prepared to take care of this matter on his behalf, but she didn't expect him to act so resolutely, and even though she was relieved, she also felt worried.
Jiang Yashuang did not answer the words and only said: "Don't tell brother about this yet!"
Qiu Yilan wanted to say something more, but he had already finished dressing and strode out!
... After a while, Qiu Yilan returned to the main hall, found the Crown Princess, and quietly told Jiang Yashuang the reason for leaving the palace. Sure enough, the Crown Princess sighed and said: "Leave him alone! As long as he feels better!"
"Since you value your son so much and feel better, why do you support your husband in going against the wishes of your two biological sons?" Qiu Yilan looked at her lamented mother-in-law and almost asked this question - but in the end, she said: " If mother has no other instructions, my wife will take care of the children first!"
"Go ahead!"
Qiu Yilan found Ou Qinglan in the crowd and saw her and Zhuang Man standing together and talking in a low voice. The four children beside them, Jiang Huiying, Jiang Jingjue, Jiang Jingxuan and Ling Guoguo, were held by their respective wet nurses. The family doesn't know how to grieve yet, and even if they do, they probably won't feel sad as they have basically never had any contact with Queen Tao, so they all look curious, looking around and even a little excited.
Seeing her mother coming, Jiang Huiying smiled and rolled her eyes, shook off the wet nurse's hand, and rushed forward to hug her: "Mother!"
"Be good!" Qiu Yilan picked her up casually and stepped forward to say hello to Ou Qinglan and Zhuang Man. Ou Qinglan asked, "How are you, cousin 19?"
"It's weird that it's okay!" Before Qiu Yilan could answer, Zhuang Man interjected and sighed, "Who doesn't know that the eighteenth cousin and the nineteenth cousin were both raised by the Queen herself? The eighteenth cousin just entered the palace. It’s not like we didn’t see him crying like that. If the prince-in-law hadn’t been holding him up, he couldn’t even get out of the carriage! He just took a look at the queen’s coffin when she entered the palace, and wasn’t she helped to rest in the pavilion to avoid being overly grieved? A few breaths before the 19th cousin entered the palace, and my aunt sent someone to call the imperial doctor! Speaking of which, the Queen loved the 19th cousin more, but now the 19th cousin is probably even more uncomfortable than the 18th cousin!"
She finished what Qiu Yilan wanted to say, and Qiu Yilan didn't bother to waste any more words. She just nodded: "I'm going to ask you to go to the courtyard where the Queen used to live for a while."
"well!"
As we all know, Jiang Yashuang spent the most time with Queen Tao in Qiandi - after all, Queen Tao was already too ill to see anyone before she was granted the title of Queen. Now that the queen has passed away, it is understandable that Jiang Yashuang went to her hometown to commemorate her instead of condoling in the palace.
Ou Qinglan and Zhuang Man looked at each other and sighed.
... On this day of condolences, Qiu Yilan's thoughts were not in the mourning hall at all. After all, although the death of Queen Tao was regrettable, the assassination of Prince Hui was of greater concern.
Fortunately, everyone thought that her uneasiness was due to the influence of the Queen's death, and no one suspected it.
According to the rules, when the queen dies, both the wife and the married woman must go to the palace to cry for at least seven days. Only those whose health is so bad that they cannot enter the palace, or those who are so old that they will end up in Weeping Spirits if they try too hard can make exceptions and be exempted.
As a young grandson-in-law, Qiu Yilan naturally cannot be exempted.
Three or five days passed after crying like this. During this period, apart from occasionally going to the side hall to freshen up, and taking a break with my sister-in-law at night, I had no time or reason to do anything else. Even asking for information about her husband was not smooth, because at this moment, except for the Crown Princess, no one else knew about her.
The Crown Princess only said that she would send someone to take good care of her son and let her take care of her son and daughter wholeheartedly.
So after a few days, Qiu Yilan had no idea what happened to Prince Hui's incident.
It was not until the last few days of mourning that she heard the news that her husband had returned to the palace to keep vigil.
At this time, there was still no abnormality among the people around. Qiu Yilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Should Nineteen have settled the matter?"
It's just that things are unpredictable - she was glad that a big trouble seemed to be solved, but then came another bad news: Emperor Zhaode had an old illness!
This news has not been announced for the time being. I think it is because the queen has not been buried yet. It would not be good if news about the emperor followed. It would be easy for everyone to think whether these two will go together
Although the prince is already in his fifties, his ascension to the throne will not cause any suspicion to the young master. But the Qin Dynasty was newly built, and the successive national funerals were not a good sign!
Moreover, Emperor Zhaode's reputation, whether in court or in opposition, or in the military, was honestly better than that of the prince. Now that the civil unrest in the south has just subsided, if Queen Tao hadn't passed away, Prince Huijun, who was also responsible for appeasing the people, would have stayed there for a while to take precautions!
If Emperor Zhaode suddenly disappears now, the place that was just pacified may be in trouble again!
Therefore, the prince decided to only inform a few trusted veterans in private about the fact that the emperor suddenly fainted while dealing with political affairs, and although he survived the treatment but was still paralyzed on the bed, he asked them to help cover it up.
The reason why Qiu Yilan knew this was because her eldest son Jiang Jinglang had been raised in Funing Palace for the past two years. Even when the queen passed away, he didn't ask him to come and follow his parents. He was still taken in and out by Emperor Zhaode - Something happened to Emperor Zhaode At that time, there was no servant around, so the grandson was left to study ink and listen to his suggestions. If Jiang Jinglang hadn't gone out in time to call the imperial doctor, I'm afraid Da Qin would have had no choice but to directly organize the funeral ceremony for the emperor and empress.
But Jiang Jinglang was young after all, and he was greatly frightened by this. He was originally raised by Emperor Zhaode himself in Funing Palace. Now Emperor Zhaode has no time to take care of himself. The prince is busy covering up Emperor Zhaode's condition, and the princess is busy taking care of things. The queen's funeral ceremony... I was really too busy, so I had to send him back to Qiu Yilan!
When the frightened Jiang Jinglang saw his mother, how could he still remember the warnings of his grandparents? At that moment, Yiwuyishi said everything: "...Mother, great-grandfather will get better, right?"
"Of course!" Qiu Yilan smiled to comfort her son, but her heart felt cold!
