Watching her husband go straight to the East Palace without looking back, Qiu Yilan took a deep breath and waved to Mu Jin: "Try taking a few people out of the palace and take Lu He to the East Palace to find Nineteen!"
Mu Jin took the order and left - before she came back to reply, news came from Jiang Yashuang, saying that he was called away by the new king before he went to Chengdong Palace!
Qiu Yilan almost wanted to vomit blood when she heard the news: "Father-in-law, what do you mean?! My mother is about to die, and my son can't take a look at it?!"
Then he quickly sent people to chase Mu Jin, "Nineteen is not going to the East Palace anymore. Quickly tell Lu He that he doesn't need to go either, lest he, a scholar, enters the East Palace rashly and gets tricked!"
She was angry here, and Pian Jiang Qizheng came over again and asked: "Is someone restless again?"
"Restless?" Qiu Yilan was surprised, "No, nothing happened these past two days!"
"Still hiding it from me?" Jiang Qizheng frowned, "If no one is uneasy, why did you ask Shijiu to go to the East Palace to find mother? Let me tell you, although mother is recovering well, she is not completely healed after all! My father said Please don't bother me too often... If you can't solve any ordinary troubles, just tell me and I'll be the villain for you! Why don't you bother me there?"
Qiu Yilan looked at her sister-in-law, who was kept in the dark, and twitched her mouth. After a long struggle between heaven and man, she didn't know whether she should tell her the truth or not. After a while, she said: "What my sister has taught me is that I will not do anything in the future." So reckless!"
Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Qizheng softened her tone: "I don't mean to blame you, and I also know that you have a lot of difficulties in pushing you to take charge of the situation this time. It's just that my mother is old after all, and it's really uncomfortable to ask her to worry all the time. good!"
"I know." Qiu Yilan said gloomily and perfunctorily, "I will pay attention!"
After sending Jiang Qizheng away, she bit her lip and thought for a while, then asked Mulian, "Where did your father call Nineteen?"
"It seems to be the Nuan Pavilion of Funing Palace?" Mulian said uncertainly, "I heard from the palace people who saw that scene that the prince was very reluctant to obey the imperial edict at the time, and almost attacked the person who delivered the oral edict... I didn't know what happened later. What did he say, and the prince followed him with an angry look on his face! "
She was very worried, "The prince has been in a bad mood these days, and now he is blocked by your majesty from going to the East Palace. When your majesty meets him... nothing will go wrong, right?"
For example, getting into a fight with the new king in anger or something...
Qiu Yilan rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I'm going to take a look. Just keep an eye on this side - if you can't stand it, go find Princess Fuling!"
She dropped the matter and rushed to the Nuan Pavilion of Funing Palace to ask for an audience. She thought that the new king would most likely ignore her, so she was mentally prepared to be entangled with him. Who would have thought that after the palace servants went in to report the matter, they came out very quickly: "Your Majesty has summoned the Princess of Chong County to see you!"
Qiu Yilan straightened her filial piety clothes and walked in with her head held high - she almost got pricked in the foot as soon as she stepped through the door. Jiang Yashuang, who was confronting the new king a few feet away, quickly reminded her: "Go around over there!"
She looked down speechlessly and saw broken porcelain, broken glass, broken jade... It was so messy that she didn't know how many good things had been wasted! Looking around again, there was a puddle of water stains under a bouquet of flowers. Apparently Mulian's previous worries were not groundless - the conversation between father and son in the Tian family was really not harmonious!
"Fortunately, I came in time!" Qiu Yilan saw this scene and her father-in-law, who looked ugly and still seemed to be calming down his violent breathing. He was obviously very angry with her son. She couldn't help but feel lucky in her heart, " If it were a little later, these two people wouldn't be able to get started!"
He quickly walked a few steps forward, saluted his father-in-law, and said to smooth things over: "Father, please calm down, it's all my daughter-in-law's fault..."
"It's none of your business!" Unexpectedly, she just opened her mouth, and Xinjun impatiently waved her sleeves to shut her up!
"I just said that you didn't just come back from the East Palace, why did you just tell me about my mother's situation?!" Jiang Yashuang was also furious, "Father, you did it on purpose?! Father, what do you mean? !”
"...What did I say wrong?" Qiu Yilan secretly swallowed a mouthful of blood. Looking at her father-in-law and her husband who were once again in a stranglehold, she felt at a loss what to do, "What on earth is this father-in-law thinking?!"
Since Jiang Qizheng had already asked Qiu Yilan about the news that Jiang Yashuang wanted to go to the East Palace but was summoned by the new king to Nuange of Funing Palace, others would certainly know about it.
For example, Prince Hui had the same worries as Mulian, so he pulled Prince Jing and rushed over to plead for mercy. Just in time for Xinjun to break into the palace before he could continue smashing things, the two brothers just took one look at the mess in the palace. He knelt down in a hurry: "Father, please calm down!"
Before he finished speaking, Xinjun and Jiang Yashuang shouted in unison: "Don't kneel!"
Okay, it's already too late - the two county princes didn't know whether it was because they were begging for mercy, or they didn't see the situation clearly, or it might be intentional. In short, they knelt down neatly and were both stabbed by the broken porcelain. On!
... This time it was a mistake. Although Xinjun and Jiang Yashuang were extremely depressed, they definitely couldn't continue the quarrel. They quickly called for the imperial doctor to take care of the wounds of the two princes!
Qiu Yilan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, thinking that this conflict was over, right
Unexpectedly, after Prince Hui and Prince Jing were carried away, the new king pointed at Jiang Yashuang and said angrily: "I know what you are thinking! But I tell you! I have made up my mind! If you dare to play tricks again , carefully I will lock you up now, you won’t even go to your imperial grandfather’s funeral!”
Qiu Yilan's face darkened, and before Jiang Yashuang could reply, she shouted: "Father! It is a matter of human ethics to see the emperor's grandfather off on his last journey. You..."
"You know this matter is urgent, so that's best!" Unexpectedly, Xinjun snorted coldly and interrupted her again, "Then from now on, keep a close eye on your husband! Don't ask him to play tricks again! Don't forget that obeying your father's orders is also human ethics. It’s also righteous!”
At this point, he glanced at Jiang Yashuang coldly and sneered, "Don't do it for a long time and you will be worse than your wife!"
After saying that, he didn’t care about the reaction of his son and daughter-in-law, just rolled up his sleeves and left!
"..." Qiu Yilan frowned and glanced at her father-in-law's back, turned around and asked her husband suspiciously, "What on earth do you want to do to hide your mother's injury?!"
Jiang Yashuang's eyes were cold. After a long time, Qiu Yilan thought that he didn't want to talk anymore, so he said calmly: "He said that my mother was hopeless anyway, so it would be better to hide the truth and cheat someone!"
"..." Qiu Yilan was stunned for a while, "Who are you cheating on?"
"The remnants of the previous dynasty are the silverfish of this dynasty." Jiang Yashuang took a deep breath, "And, myna!"
Qiu Yilan thought nothing of the first eight words. When she heard the word "Myna", her eyes widened: "Myna?!" Isn't that my father-in-law's darling
At this time, with no way to go to the East Palace and no notification from his confidants, Jiang Yashuang was no longer in a hurry. He took his wife outside and found a deserted corner to wrap up the matter. Even though the husband and wife were one, there was nothing It's hard to talk about it, but when it comes to the personal ethics of elders and the matter of a father stepping on his son to seize power, Jiang Yashuang still took a lot of effort to hide it and talk about it with other words - just like Qiu Yilan from Qiu back then. After Bao Zhu found out about Kuang Shihan's unrequited love for Princess Ruan, she remained tight-lipped and didn't mention it to her husband. It wasn't that she didn't trust the other person, but she just felt that she couldn't tell her.
He finally finished speaking, and Qiu Yilan was dumbfounded!
After a while, he became furious, kicked him hard, and asked in a deep voice: "Since you have seen the truth a long time ago, why didn't you tell me anything?! Is it funny to see me worrying about my family?! Or are you afraid that I will stop you? You ask your father to take back your life and refuse to fulfill your brotherly love!"
"..." Jiang Yashuang lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this, Qiu Yilan became more and more angry. She kicked him a few more times and gritted her teeth and said, "How nice it was to say that back then! We are one husband and wife. I am just a fool. I have wasted all these days worrying about you. You are sitting on the Diaoyutai." , You can pretend to be innocent, why do you want to tell me the truth now? Are you tired of watching this
"Do you know why my father allowed you to enter the Nuan Pavilion just now?" Jiang Yashuang saw her getting more and more angry as she spoke. He reached out to hold her arm and whispered, "My father didn't expect you to go in to smooth things over! He actually..."
"Don't change the subject!" Qiu Yilan just wanted to think about the life she had lived in the past two years, the depression and burden in her heart, and she felt angry. Then she was not happy to be touched by him and threw him away. He held his hand and said with a sneer, "Prince Chong - no, he will be the prince soon! You can't restrain your pride and want to find someone to share it with, so you tell me? I'm really sorry, I don't feel honored at all!! !”
Jiang Yashuang sighed after her hands were opened, and regardless of her strange mood, she just said lightly: "My father just told me not to be worse than you. What do you think it means? What he means is that you have been with Ba for the past two years." I had a few fights with my sister-in-law, and my eighth sister-in-law passed away not long ago!”
Looking at his wife's frowning eyebrows, he said slowly, "And I know my father's intentions, so of course I won't really trick Bage, so I just deal with it. Even when my subordinates target Bage, I don't Always restrained... So when I argued with my father, he let you in, which was actually a warning to me! "
"My father has always planned to pass the throne to me, so I disobeyed him. Although he is angry, he will not really do anything to me!"
"but you… "
As long as the new monarch didn't lose his mind, he could only choose Jiang Yashuang as the heir apparent. Therefore, although he was not happy with Jiang Yashuang's disobedience and cooperation, he could not do anything to his biological son - but his daughter-in-law was different!
In particular, Jiang Yashuang loves his wife very much and has not even taken a concubine for so many years. Since the new king can use his eldest son as a stepping stone, how can he not see the weakness of his younger son? !
"But what does this have to do with the fact that you haven't told me the truth for the past two years? Did my father ask you to hide it from me?!" Qiu Yilan still didn't understand.
"My father hopes that you will know the truth and help him persuade me!" Jiang Yashuang's lips curled up with a hint of ridicule, "But what do you think you would do if you knew the truth? You feel the same as me. I can't bear it, those people my father wants to plot are not fools, how can they not see that they have completely ruined my father's plan? How could my father let us go?"
"If you knew the truth, the consequences would be exactly what my father expected. You would not only persuade me to target Brother Eighth, but you would also add insult to injury to Sister-in-law Eighth..."
He looked at his wife and couldn't help but sigh, "But the problem is, how come the eighth brother is the biological flesh and blood of the father and the mother, the eighth sister-in-law was chosen by the mother herself, and the children under their knees are all our nephews and nieces! If you do this, of course I complied with my father's arrangement, but after the dust settled, my father and mother... "
The next words were not very respectful to the new king and the princess, and he, as a son, did not say them out loud.
But talking about this is enough for Qiu Yilan to understand: "What parent doesn't hope that the children will be harmonious and the sisters-in-law will get along with each other?! Even if the father-in-law takes the initiative to create a pretense of brothers competing for position to deceive others, he must also hope that the daughter-in-law will be the same on the outside. They are all gentle and virtuous! So if I know the truth, if I follow my father-in-law’s wishes, he will think that I am too selfish and vicious! At least, I will give me a few people, or at worst, I will simply change him to someone who is gentle and virtuous! My good daughter-in-law! If you don’t comply, he won’t be able to take out his anger on me!”
Even the mother-in-law and the princess who would never trick her daughter-in-law, knowing that the younger daughter-in-law knew who the couple really chose, would deliberately trick the elder daughter-in-law - even if this was a hint from her side, she probably felt guilty in her heart It will also be unpleasant!
This situation is like a pair of parents with many children. One of them makes a mistake. Even if the parents really want to beat him, if the other children do not help to plead for mercy, but tell the truth: "Well done! He deserves it!", normal parents I feel bad in my heart!
These are other children, let alone the daughter-in-law
Thinking about it this way, the best choice is to do what Jiang Yashuang did and simply hide it from his wife!
So Qiu Yilan complained that her father-in-law was partial, hated her elder brother-in-law, and cheated on her sister-in-law... Anyway, all her actions so far are logical: Those who don't know are not guilty!
"So, the parents-in-law only allowed them to set fires, and the daughter-in-law was not allowed to light the lamps!!!" Qiu Yilan looked at the direction that Xin Jun left just now, and really wanted to throw a brick in the way! ! !
