The palace man came out and told two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The good news is that the Crown Princess's life has been temporarily saved.
The bad news is that the Crown Princess's life was only temporarily saved.
"The deputy court judge said that the queen is likely to have a fever later. Whether the queen can be completely rescued depends on whether the fever can be reduced!"
The palace man came out and reported a letter.
After a while, the imperial doctors withdrew one after another, and the judge led the deputy judge to report to the prince. Mother Chang appeared at the end of the crowd and asked Qiu Yilan with a tired look to come to the end of the corridor to speak, "Not yet. Knowing how the empress will be burned, I am afraid that I can only rely on the Jiang family’s ancestors to protect me from the vice-president’s words... The princess should go back first!”
Qiu Yilan really wanted to stay and help Chang's mother and take care of her mother-in-law, but she also knew that now that Jiang Jingheng's assassination of her grandmother had to be concealed, she would not be able to stay in the East Palace overnight. So after hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Then shall I take An'er away? I think my father must be thinking about my mother now. Mom, you are even less likely to be away from your mother for too long. Although the palace people around him will definitely take good care of him, I'm afraid He becomes naughty and neglects his homework, which will disappoint his father and mother! "
In fact, Jiang Jingkun is still young now, even if he is not young at all, and his ultimate goal of training is not to get the top prize in the examination. Something happened to his biological grandmother, and his mind as a legitimate grandson is disturbed. It is not a big deal to delay his homework for a few days - that is called filial piety!
Chang's mother knew that the real reason Qiu Yilan said this was because she was worried that Jiang Jingkun would be cheated after the prince and his wife had no time to take care of Jiang Jingkun. If she was purely considering Jiang Jingkun, Chang's mother would agree with Qiu Yilan's proposal.
But considering the political situation, Chang's mother could only sigh: "The princess has good intentions, but I can't make the decision in this matter, so I have to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for instructions!"
Of course, the prince would not agree to let Qiu Yilan take Jiang Jingkun away. Even with King Yongyi taking the lead, most of the courtiers who support Prince Hui now do it for Jiang Jingkun's sake - Prince Hui is a bastard in their eyes. Transitional - So Jiang Jingkun will be sent back to Chongjun Prince's Mansion to be raised. How do the civil and military officials understand this
Qiu Yilan frowned, but she had no choice but to do the next best thing: "Then I'll go see An'er later and give him a few words?"
"Princess Princess, please do as you please!" Chang's mother can make the decision on this. Thinking of Qiu Yilan's quick reaction to save the princess and helping to hide the truth, Chang's mother is very close to her now and will give her all the conveniences she can. He gave it readily, "I'll let any palace official here show you the way!"
Qiu Yilan nodded and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to say about this now when you get out? Do you have any instructions from father?"
"You go to see the Crown Prince of Hui County first. I'll go and report to His Highness the Crown Prince. I'll talk to you later?" Chang's mother shook her head - in the process of treating the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince didn't know if he was afraid of disturbing the doctors. No. The message had been passed in, so to know the official statement about today's matter, she would have to go and see the prince.
Hearing this, Qiu Yilan looked at the sky, and without further delay, she got up and found a palace servant to take her to see Jiang Jingkun.
Jiang Jingkun was very surprised to see her. He hugged and called her for a long time, then happily asked her, "Auntie, why are you here?" He stretched his neck and looked around, "Brother 17 and sister 23." Are they here? My nephew hasn’t seen them for a while!”
"They didn't come today. I'll bring them to see you in a few days." Qiu Yilan pinched his cheek and coaxed him for a while, then consciously or unconsciously reminded him to be more alert these two days - but this was not the same as In the end, it was not enough for a child, so she hit the people around him a few more times.
When Jiang Jingkun was raised by Qiu Yilan, he had a group of servants to serve him. But when he was taken to his grandparents, he didn't take any of them with him. So at the moment, these are the people of the Crown Princess who don’t know what happened in the main hall. Following the attitude of the Crown Prince and his wife in the past two years, they will not take it seriously. Not only do they not take it seriously, but they also have some "I need to be on guard and I should be on guard against you." That's right" means.
Qiu Yilan looked at it coldly and didn't care - she believed that the prince would send someone to teach these people later, so he had to at least find out what she said when she came over, right
She didn't care much about the wariness and distrust of these people, but since these people were guarding her as if they were a thief, they certainly didn't give her a chance to be alone with Jiang Jingkun. Qiu Yilan originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask her nephew what he had not finished last time, but now she had no chance. She accompanied Jiang Jingkun to Chang's mother to send someone to invite her, so she had to say goodbye to her nephew with regret.
Of course Jiang Jingkun was very dissatisfied with this. He was raised by his uncle and aunt, and he was already close to Jiang Yashuang and his wife. At that time, Jiang Yashuang and his wife had several children, and they lived in a single-family house with three entrances and a garden. In the yard, the whole family looks at each other all day long. It is very cordial and lively. He also has younger brothers and sisters as playmates.
When he arrived in front of his grandparents, he was unfamiliar and resentful because he was suddenly carried over. It took a lot of effort for the grandparents and grandchildren to become intimate with each other. Not to mention, the prince and his wife raised him as a grandson. He had no identity and seemed to be old. Children feel lonely and boring when they have close friends.
So I miss my uncle, aunt, Jiang Jinglang and others doubly. Now that Qiu Yilan has been here for a while and then leaves, the child suddenly started crying: "I don't want my aunt to leave! I don't want my aunt to leave! What's the point of staying in the East Palace? How come? Genius met my grandfather once. When he met, he would either ask me about my homework or give me homework assignments - unlike Uncle Nineteen, who would tell me and Seventeenth Brother stories and play with us... "
He cried and made a fuss, rolling all over the floor - Qiu Yilan could only stay and coax him, and finally coaxed him away. When he went to see Chang's mother in the main hall, it was almost dark.
So Chang’s mother made a long story short: “His Royal Highness, just like the words you used when you took Miss Eleven Sun to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the Imperial Doctor, Princess Huijun was pregnant but didn’t know it. Today, because of some things, I There is fetal movement in the East Palace, and it is not appropriate to move now! The Crown Princess felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, so she simply kept her in the East Palace until she was able to move, and then sent her back to Huijun Prince's Mansion. In order not to hurt you, let's talk about Huijun to the outside world. The reason why the princess got pregnant was because of Princess Jingjun’s carelessness. Princess Jingjun was so remorseful that she even went so far as to frighten the tenth grandson and the eleventh grandson!”
Since it is well known that the Crown Princess loves her legitimate daughter-in-law, Princess Huijun has given birth to a child since she entered the house. She finally gave birth to Jiang Huibao, who was just a daughter. Now that she is pregnant again, the mother-in-law pays special attention to it. , which is also reasonable. This also explains why the imperial doctors will be stationed in the East Palace for a period of time.
As for Jiang Jingheng and Jiang Huizhu being frightened, Qiu Yilan estimated that these two nieces and nephews might be put under house arrest for a period of time. Jiang Huizhu should have warned her to shut up if she shouldn't say anything; Jiang Jingheng... I guess it's possible that after being frightened, she became ill.
"I just don't know what will happen to Princess Huijun?" Listening to Chang's mother's words, Princess Jingjun must be doomed - she was just a concubine in the first place, but now she is seriously injured and can't leave the palace decently, the prince said Determined to be cannon fodder, no matter whether she can survive after being raped, the crime is fixed anyway!
But Princess Huijun…
Even though she was not the one who ordered Jiang Jingheng to assassinate his grandmother, it was the bastard she brought into the palace who did such a treasonous act—according to common sense, she should be even more tragic than Princess Jingjun!
"But the father-in-law is now urgently supporting his precious eldest son. If Princess Huijun is not given a way out, how can King Yongyi continue to work for Prince Huijun?" Qiu Yilan felt a little uncertain, "Now in the court, Prince Huijun The core of the party is King Yongyi. If King Yongyi loses heart, then the Huijun Wang Party, which was finally brought together, will probably fall apart!"
"But it doesn't matter if my father-in-law doesn't execute her. Anyway, I have no intention of letting her return to Prince Huijun's Mansion alive!" Qiu Yilan walked out of the palace gate, sneered and looked back at the direction of the main hall. After getting on the carriage, she left the palace. She took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her fingers carefully - taking advantage of the mess just now, she had already hidden the small porcelain bottle that she had persuaded Princess Huijun to take in hibiscus in a small tree hole near the main hall.
Stuffing the handkerchief back into her sleeve, Qiu Yilan's eyes flashed coldly, "I'll let you live for one more night!"
When she returned to the gate of the mansion, the guards responsible for guarding Prince Chongjun's mansion were really relieved: "My lord, look, the princess has come back well?"
Qiu Yilan was puzzled at first. After lifting up the car curtain, she saw Jiang Yashuang, whose face was ashen on the threshold. She suddenly realized that her late return had made her husband worried. She wanted to go to the East Palace to look for him in person, but was stopped by the guards - but the guards also knew His identity is difficult, so he is very embarrassed.
There was a stalemate, but fortunately Qiu Yilan came back.
"Let's go in and talk!" Seeing his wife entering the door calmly, Jiang Yashuang breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to ask, he saw her wink at her, and with a sudden change of heart, he remained silent.
The couple went all the way into the backyard and calmed the children who were also worried. It was already past dinner time. Jiang Yashuang and the others had not eaten yet because they were waiting for Qiu Yilan, so the whole family happened to be eating together. Afterwards, they chatted and laughed with the children for a while before sending the wet nurse to send them back to their rooms to settle down.
Only then did the couple have time to talk about serious matters: "My mother was assassinated!"
"Who?!" Jiang Yashuang was worried about how wronged his wife would be when her mother called her to the East Palace today, but she didn't want to be shocked when she first heard that her mother had been assassinated!
"Jingheng did it, but don't worry, my mother has been rescued." Qiu Yilan looked at him, "Father meant that this matter should not be spread to outsiders - now he is using the eighth sister-in-law as a cover to say that she is pregnant. I didn’t know it, but I had fetal convulsions in the East Palace! I’m afraid it’s not convenient for you to visit me in the open!”
Jiang Yashuang's expression changed for a moment, and she said calmly: "I just want to go there, but I can't just go if I want to!"
Qiu Yilan suddenly thought that he didn't want to go to the East Palace to find her just now? But in the end, she was blocked in this mansion. Because her mother-in-law was not in good condition, her mood became even lower. She was silent for a while and then said: "On the way back just now, I stopped the carriage in front of the Eighteenth Sister's house, and Mu Jin got out of the car. I went to talk to my sister's door, and I will go to the palace with my sister tomorrow to visit my mother - of course, in name only to visit the eighth sister-in-law. Before I left the East Palace, I made an agreement with Chang's mother. Sister-in-law, there is absolutely no reason why Sister Eighteen and I should not go and take a look. "
"..." Jiang Yashuang seemed to be thinking about something. Hearing this, he just nodded, "I know!"
Qiu Yilan had always been worried about him - afraid that he would lose control of his emotions after learning about his mother's injury. After all, when things happened to Empress Dowager Jiang, Princess Yongfu and Empress Tao, Jiang Yashuang's reaction was very violent.
But now I saw that although he couldn't say it lightly, he didn't have the heart-wrenching sadness that he had a few times before, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "I think it's because we haven't been together for a long time?"
Anyway, as long as nothing happened to her husband, she didn't worry about it anymore. She was thinking about what she had to do the next day, so she couldn't be in a bad mood, so she washed herself and went to bed.
