Zhu Rong shook his head, "I don't know about this kid. However, I brought a lot of soft things with me, enough to fill five cars."
"Five cars?" Qingguan murmured softly, "Did the concubine also follow?"
"this… "
"Who will be waiting in the house?"
"This..." Zhu Rong couldn't answer.
Qingguan's expression changed several times, "Zhu Rong, go ahead and get busy."
When Zhu Rong heard this, he felt relieved and said hurriedly: "Miss, if you have any errands, just give me your orders."
"I won't be polite."
Zhu Rong bowed and exited. Qing Guan sat on the edge of the Kang and sat there for a full cup of tea before getting up.
She walked to Zhao Jingyan's bed, stretched out her hand to check her pulse, and her face relaxed slightly.
"How is it?" Sheng Fang stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Four points of poison are removed and six points remain, which is a good sign."
"Wanwan, how are you? Is your fever gone?"
At some point, the person on the pit opened a pair of deep eyes and looked at her softly.
Qingguan let go of his hand and stroked his forehead, "I was sweating all over, and my fever has gone down."
"Where are the legs?" Zhao Jingyan asked again.
How did he know about the leg? Qingguan was stunned for a moment and didn't want to say more: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Liu Jian from Beifu has a problem."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jingyan and Sheng Fang's eyes darkened at the same time, with a chill on their faces.
The three of them sat down, Ye Qing made hot tea, closed the door and quietly left.
Zhao Jingyan pointed to the bamboo chair next to the pit, her eyes lingering, "Sit down and talk, I'm tired of standing."
Qingguan deliberately turned a blind eye to his gaze, but sat down as he was told.
"Hu Yong, help me up."
When Hu Yong saw Qingguan nodding to him, he gently helped him up. Finally, he took a mat and placed it behind King Shou.
He took a deep look at King Shou and quietly retreated to the window.
He just called her "Wan Wan", a name that even someone with his status would not dare to say.
My sister is engaged to the Seventh Master, and the Seventh Master and the Prince are brothers. It is said that one should not tease a brother's wife, so how can the Prince address her like that
Why did these three words circle around Sheng Fang's tongue before swallowing them.
Zhao Jingyan didn't know that one of her names had caused waves in Sheng Fang's heart, and his eyes were all on the woman beside him.
"Wan Wan, I have a feeling that from the time I was poisoned until now, I feel like I have fallen into a huge pit. And this pit was dug deliberately by someone."
How could Gu Qingwan not know this feeling? The snake in the dream spitting out wormwood, and its sinister eyes made people's hair stand on end.
"Tinglin, in the final analysis, the matter is actually very simple. To put it bluntly, someone wants you dead."
"Exactly!" Zhao Jingyan nodded.
Sheng Fang answered: "Who is it?"
"That's a good question, that's what I want to ask too."
Qingguan glanced at him and said, "Wise King? Most likely. Except for Tinglin, he has no rival."
Zhao Jingyan thought: "Though it is possible for Third Brother, he does not have the courage to collaborate with the enemy. Those barbarians should not be his handiwork. In the continuous plan, the shadow of the barbarians cannot be escaped everywhere."
Qingguan saw that he was thinking calmly and did not make random judgments even though he was in trouble, and was slightly impressed.
"Apart from him, there is another person who is the most suspicious. Just now the rice store owner told me that there are many more officers and soldiers patrolling the streets outside."
Zhao Jingyan's expression turned sharp, "At this time... I think it's for me."
"There is another news. Liu Jian's wife, children and concubine left the city with Xinruan a few days ago. How could there be such a coincidence?"
Zhao Jingyan's eyes turned cold, and she said to Qingwan very calmly: "If it is really him, then this person is determined to die. Hongwen is in danger!"
Qingguan bit her lip, raised her eyes and said, "Before leaving, I asked him to bring some good things for self-defense. As long as it's not an intestinal poison, he won't be able to withstand it."
Nip problems in the bud.
She's so good!
Zhao Jingyan raised the corners of her mouth and there was heat in her eyes. Only such a woman deserves to be by his side.
"Hongwen is also a fox. If he doesn't show up, he must have discovered something, or he is waiting for the opportunity."
Qingguan smiled softly and expressed what he was thinking, "I think he is waiting for you, Prince, to save him."
Zhao Jingyan's heart moved, and there was deep affection in her eyes. What a smart woman. This way, she has reason to lead troops into Beifu to find out.
He looked straight at Qingguan and said word by word: "Hongwen and I are good brothers, and his safety cannot be compromised. This place is only a hundred miles away from the Zhenbei Army, so I immediately wrote a letter to Yu Gui to lead the troops. Enter Beifu."
"etc!"
Sheng Fang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "We are just guessing and there is no real evidence. What if we are wrong?"
Zhao Jingyan turned her eyes to him, smiled faintly and said, "Then these soldiers from the Zhenbei Army can also protect me and return to the army safely."
There is a way out before and after. Sheng Fang's eyes moved, "In that case, I'll go to the Zhenbei Army."
Qingguan did not say anything to stop him, but stood up and walked forward step by step, his voice as low as a tomb gnat.
"Go back quickly, be careful along the way."
Sheng Fang looked back and whispered: "Okay!"
"I'll give it to you." Qingguan looked reluctantly.
Sheng Fang smiled, "Yeah!"
At the moment, the capital city is calm.
The wooden clappers of Xu Shi were knocked, and the Jiang family held lamps one after another.
In the west courtyard, the ancestor was leaning on the couch with rosary beads wrapped around his hands. His usually kind-hearted face looked a little more worried.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Madam Zhu helped her mother-in-law Madam Zhang in. She glanced at the maid who was standing by, and the servants filed out immediately.
Mrs. Zhang sat down sideways and stopped talking.
The ancestor slowly raised his eyes, glanced at her, and said, "What are you doing here at this hour?"
"Ancestor, why has Lao Qi been grounded for so many days and can't even see his wife? What on earth did he commit?"
Mrs. Zhang was worried. She just went to Lao Qiyuan, but was stopped by someone.
The majestic lady of the Jiang family cannot even look at her own son. What's the point? Only then did he rush to find his ancestor.
"Even though I'm old, I still can't help myself. This is a rule from above." The ancestor didn't want to say more.
Mrs. Zhang was even more confused when she heard this. Even if there are rules from above, they only exclude people and cannot go out, but they do not say that they cannot test people.
Seeing that she was entangled and afraid of bad things, the ancestor immediately said in a stern voice: "It's just a grounding, and there is not enough food and clothing. Why do you feel bad about it?"
Mrs. Zhang was scolded and did not dare to speak. She was so angry that she added: "Old ancestor, if your daughter-in-law is not talkative, then the British prince is not decent either. Why should you only ban the seventh person?"
The ancestor looked at her coldly and said: "There is a noble concubine in the palace, what do you have? Live a peaceful life, don't find yourself unhappy. There is no need to go to the seventh courtyard anymore, when the time comes, he will naturally come out."
Madam Zhang had never seen her ancestor speak so sternly, she lowered her eyes in aggrieved manner and said, "Daughter-in-law, please retire!"
Mrs. Zhu was well aware of the ban.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was looking down, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her. She couldn't say it clearly, so she just whispered: "Madam, don't take it to heart. My ancestors may not be happy in their hearts!"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she felt a little relieved.
Mrs. Zhu added: "I'll quietly send someone to send more delicious food and fun things later. I won't stop at Gu's house either."
"Good boy!"
Zhang patted her hand. This wife is still considerate.
Mrs. Zhu sent her mother-in-law away and then came back. Her eyes fell on the Buddhist beads in the hands of her ancestors.
chuckle.
I haven't touched this prayer bead for more than ten years. I am holding it in my hand now because I am worried, but I pretend to be nothing in front of my wife.
The ancestor saw her staring at the beads and knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he said harshly: "I'm worried about Qingguan. The girl's body is not as valuable as Lao Qi's. Her skin is thick and her flesh is rough. She is soaked in mud and water. fine."
Zhu laughed angrily and said, "Ancestor, just coax me."
When the ancestor heard this, he was immediately discouraged. He felt as if his heart was fried these days, and he was just putting on airs.
She sighed and said, "For ten days, I didn't even get a letter back. I don't know what happened."
Mrs. Zhu stroked her ancestor's back and her eyes darkened.
Others didn't know how worried her ancestor was these days, but she knew it clearly. Those three are all the ancestors' favorites, and nothing can happen to any of them, otherwise...
As her thoughts moved, she lowered her voice and said, "I wonder if the palace has received the letter?"
"It's hard to say!" The ancestor shook his head.
Just as he was thinking about it, the curtain suddenly opened, and someone came in. His face was very angry, and he didn't look like he was from the mansion.
Who are these unruly people? Madam Zhu was about to scold her when she saw her ancestor’s eyes light up from the corner of her eye, “Is there any news?”
The visitor clasped his fists at the ancestor and said, "The seventh master has entered the palace as a letter has arrived."
The ancestor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you okay?"
The visitor coughed lightly and said, "Nothing in danger, farewell!"
now.
The palace door is closed.
Zhang Yunlong, the leader of the Forbidden Palace, looked at the palace gate with gold nails and red lacquer, took out his token, showed it to the guard guarding the gate, and hurried in from the south gate.
"Eunuch Li, I have something important to meet with the emperor. Please inform me."
Eunuch Li rubbed his groggy eyes and went back inside.
After touching about half a cup of tea, he left and came back again. Eunuch Li smiled and said, "General Zhang, your Majesty has invited me!"
After entering the room and kneeling down to salute, Zhang Yunlong's eyes swept over Eunuch Li.
The emperor waved his hand and signaled for people to leave.
Eunuch Li took advantage of the moment he turned around, frowned slightly, glanced at Zhang Yunlong's expression, bowed his head and exited.
Zhang Yunlong took a step forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is news from the northwest."
"Say!" the emperor said simply, without even opening his eyelids.
"Chiang Shilang and his entourage were attacked, but there were no casualties. King Shou was also attacked when he entered Yonghe Town, and all his followers were wiped out."
"What?" Emperor Baoqing was shocked and opened his eyes suddenly, "How is Lao Ba?"
"Lucky King Shou, he was rescued by Deputy General Hu. He has already met up with Dr. Gu to perform acupuncture to extract the poison, but..."
"Just say what, say it!" Emperor Baoqing suddenly changed his color.
Zhang Yunlong knelt down quickly and said bluntly: "It just seems... there are still people secretly chasing and poisoning the horses' feed." As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp sound fell at his feet and exploded, and the jade cup fell into pieces.
