Half an hour later, Lu Tao suddenly woke up, saw the peony next to him, and instantly opened his eyes: "Peony!"
Wen Qingzhu hissed and pointed to the inner room next to him.
Lu Tao quickly looked over and saw Liang Pingshu's maid keeping moving behind the screen.
After a while, Qinghu hurried out and cried with joy: "Thank you Miss Wen, the county master is fine!"
"It's okay. If nothing happens, the county master will wake up in a quarter of an hour." Wen Qingzhu comforted Qinghu softly.
Gratefully glanced at Wen Qingzhu, Qing Huyou ran into the inner room.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways and saw that it was Pei Zhixuan!
When Pei Zhixuan walked in, Wen Qingzhu did not miss the flash of surprise in her eyes.
However, Pei Zhixuan quickly calmed down, stepped forward, and asked with concern: "I heard that you met an assassin, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, Miss Pei, the poison in the county master's body has been cured." Wen Qingzhu had already stood up, holding back the discomfort and looking at the uninvited mother-in-law Pei Zhixuan.
Why did she come back here
At this moment, Liang Pingshu suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted at the same time: "Where can the little thief escape!"
Wen Qingzhu ignored Pei Zhixuan, hurriedly ran into the inner room to take a look, and gave Liang Pingshu a quick wink.
Just as Liang Pingshu came over understandingly, Pei Zhixuan followed.
"Is the county master okay?"
Seeing Pei Zhixuan, Liang Pingshu suddenly became weird: "Miss Pei actually appears here? It seems that my matter has been spread?"
"No, don't worry, County Lord, I just happened to hear it from my brother." Pei Zhixuan hurriedly explained.
While saying this, Pei Zhixuan kept looking at Wen Qingzhu from the corner of her eyes.
However, Pei Zhixuan was disappointed. She could not see any change in Wen Qingzhu's expression.
Liang Pingshu's poisoning was not serious, and it was just an ordinary Ruanjin powder.
After detoxification, she got up immediately.
When the three of them arrived in the outer room, Pei Zhixuan and Liang Pingshu were at odds with each other. After saying a few greetings, they left with their servants.
Looking at Pei Zhixuan's back, Liang Pingshu asked Wen Qingzhu thoughtfully: "Does Pei Zhixuan also like Fu Lie?"
Wen Qingzhu almost spit out a mouthful of tea and waited for a while.
She looked at Liang Pingshu helplessly: "County Lord, Miss Pei has a high regard. She doesn't even look down on Fu Yu, but she still looks after Brother Fu?"
Liang Pingshu nodded: "That's the same, but I'm curious. She never pays attention to things that have nothing to do with her. Although she seems to be here to see me, her real purpose should be to see you."
Liang Pingshu looked at Wen Qingzhu quietly.
"Maybe she knows that her brother and I have met several times." Wen Qingzhu put down the tea cup and said something ambiguous.
"Pei Yi?" Liang Pingshu seemed to have mentioned it to Lei Shuo.
Looking at Wen Qingzhu's slightly melancholy expression, Liang Pingshu was not a person who liked gossip, so she asked about other more important things.
"Qingzhu, tell me, is the person who came here just now a member of King Shou?"
Wen Qingzhu laughed in surprise: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the county master."
Liang Pingshu frowned so hard that she could kill a mosquito: "You shouldn't have anything to do with King Shou, he..."
Wen Qingzhu shook his head, looked at Peony, whose eyes were glowing with a faint purple light, and sighed: "There is nothing I can do."
Liang Pingshu followed her line of sight and suddenly asked: "Isn't Shaoyao -"
Halfway through his words, Wen Qingzhu's expression became serious.
King Shou suddenly changed his mind, which made her very embarrassed!
She turned to look at Shaoyao, only to see Shaoyao saying something in sign language: Miss, don't worry, this slave will definitely complete the task!
About an hour later, Wen Qing, Zhu Liang and Pingshu returned to the banquet.
As soon as she sat down, Jiang Yue's father-in-law came over to invite her.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and asked Shaoyao to follow him.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Wen Qingzhu saluted.
Jiang Yue waved his hand and motioned for Wen Qingzhu to come forward.
Wen Qingzhu smelled the smell of alcohol floating in the air and felt very resistant.
She glanced at Jiang Yue's side, but Fu Lie was not there.
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and walked up.
"Come closer." Jiang Yue waved again.
Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to take two steps forward.
This time, she was almost standing in front of Jiang Yue's orange feet.
Jiang Yue looked at her obsessively, and his mouth was murmuring. Others couldn't see it, but she could see it clearly.
He kept calling Concubine Zhou.
Although everyone at the banquet was drinking and chatting on their own, their eyes were trembling as they looked above.
Wen Qingzhu lowered his head slightly, feeling like a light on his back.
Shaoyao stood not far away, very nervous. Once the thing in her sleeve was released, Jiang Yue would lose half of his life.
"Father!" The prince next to him, Jiang Yuansheng, finally couldn't stand it anymore.
In fact, Jiang Yue was never drunk, he just wanted to pretend to be crazy by being drunk.
Jiang Yuansheng's voice brought him back to reality.
Jiang Yue pointed to the golden throne next to him and said, "Qingzhu sits here."
As soon as these words came out, the prince's brows jumped, and his eyes looked at Wen Qingzhu with a little more fear.
Wen Qingzhu didn't openly disobey Jiang Yue's words because she found that Jiang Yue was angry now.
It is said outside that Jiang Yue is a wise man who listens to advice.
Wen Qingzhu knew that he had not given up everything to get the throne just to listen to others' advice.
She sat down obediently.
The sound below the banquet became a little quieter.
"Prince, what do you have to say?" Jiang Yue's expression was not serious, but his voice was very low.
Jiang Yuansheng, who had carefully served Jiang Yue for more than 20 years, didn't know that Jiang Yue was angry.
The most important thing is that it is still a serious one.
Jiang Yuansheng lowered his head, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and suddenly felt regretful.
Even if his father wants to accept Wen Qingzhu, as his son, he has no room to comment.
"Father, father, son and minister... son and minister..."
Before Jiang Yuansheng could say anything, Crown Princess He Wenru finally couldn't stand it anymore.
She quickly stood up and stepped forward: "It's because my daughter-in-law is feeling unwell, and the prince is sympathetic to his daughter-in-law, so he wants to boldly ask his father to let him resign."
Jiang Yue curled his lips indifferently, and his voice was as cold as the snow on the Tianshan Mountains that never melts all year round: "Since the Crown Princess is unwell, she should stay in the capital. If you don't come, the Crown Prince's Mansion will be full of people!"
This was a serious statement, just saying that He Wenru no longer needed to be the princess.
He Wenru's face turned pale and she immediately knelt down: "Father, please calm down! It's all my daughter-in-law's fault!"
The Crown Princess lowered her head to the ground.
Wen Qingzhu was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yue for taking the opportunity to have an attack, but he was even more dissatisfied with Jiang Yuansheng for being so cowardly that his wife needed to take the blame.
Even if such a person ascends the throne in the future, he will be bitten by King Ning and others.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly felt that maybe Jiang Yuansheng was really not suitable to be a king.
Ning Wang and Jiang Yuancheng present, no one is more suitable than him.
Concubine Cheng, who originally planned to ignore it, couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up calmly and looked at Jiang Yue: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a pure mind. She is not feeling well and has still worked so hard to prepare for this autumn round. Please forgive me. For the sake of her dedication, please forgive her for this moment."
Concubine Cheng was Jiang Yue's pawn to deal with Concubine Li, so he still had to give her some face.
"Princess, go down and have a good rest. I will order the imperial doctor to come and take a look at you." Jiang Yue's tone was a little tired.
The prince and princess received this amnesty and quickly thanked each other and helped each other down.
"Taifei, please sit down. I was reckless." Jiang Yue was still drunk. When he came to his senses, he naturally apologized to Taifei Cheng.
How could Princess Cheng dare to accept it? She quickly declined and then left with the others.
When turning around, Princess Cheng took a deep look at Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting upright, stood up and greeted him respectfully.
Jiang Yue looked sideways at Wen Qingzhu's face, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.
After a long time, he suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Zhou Sang is still your grandmother's nephew."
Wen Qingzhu didn't know why, but Jiang Yue's next words shocked Wen Qingzhu.
"Come here, ask Zhou Sang to come up."
Everyone present was shocked and confused, what is Jiang Yue going to do
Wen Qingzhu didn't even know that since Concubine Zhou's death, the Zhou family had been on the edge.
If it weren't for the marriage with the Fu family, the Zhou family might not be able to maintain its status as a first-class family.
Soon, Zhou Sang came up with a serious look.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
"Pingshen." Jiang Yue said, and Zhou Sang stood up and looked up.
Jiang Yue stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You are not like Qingzhu."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Sang was very surprised. Did Wen Qingzhu mention the Zhou family in front of Your Majesty
Jiang Yue raised his hand, stood up with the help of his father-in-law, and said casually: "Go in and talk with me."
Zhou Sang was so shocked that he looked at Wen Qingzhu without hesitation.
But at this time, Wen Qingzhu didn't understand. He shook his head slightly and gave Zhou Sang a look.
Jiang Yue had already turned his back, and happened to look back, taking in their entire scene.
For some reason, he remembered that Concubine Zhou was also at a loss when she entered the palace for the first time.
"Wen Xiaoqi, come in too."
Wen Qingzhu stood up quickly, but he was very worried about Wen Qingmei.
Looking at Jiang Yue's back, his heart became heavier and heavier, wondering if Wen Qingmei could get his wish.
No matter what, Wen Qinglan was just afraid that she would be disappointed.
Arriving at the curtain at the back, Jiang Yue was half-lying on the couch, and two people wearing concubine's clothes hurriedly stepped forward.
Wen Qingzhu looked at them and saw that they were two ordinary beauties.
Judging from their nervous looks, it seemed that this was their first time serving Jiang Yue.
"Sit wherever you like."
Even though Jiang Yue said this, Wen Qingzhu and Zhou Sang did not dare to take it easy and sat down one behind the other according to their seniority relationship.
The tent was warm with incense burning.
Wen Qingzhu sniffed it gently, inexplicably feeling that this formula was familiar.
After a while, the knot between Jiang Yue's brows gradually dissipated.
He sat up and waved the two beauties to retreat.
The father-in-law who was waiting next to him also led the people to retreat.
Wen Qingzhu and Zhou Sang both stiffened their backs, waiting for Jiang Yue's question.
But as soon as Jiang Yue's words came out, both of them were stunned.
"I am sorry for Concubine Zhou."
When Concubine Zhou entered the palace, she enjoyed a period of great favor, but she did not leave any heirs.
You can get a glimpse into the few letters Wen Qingzhu brought back from the Lu family.
The harem back then was probably more complicated than imagined.
"Your Majesty said something serious." Zhou Sang replied carefully.
Jiang Yue laughed dumbly, turned to look at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "Wen Xiaoqi, what words do you use to comfort me."
Wen Qingzhu was in a state of confusion. She had never seen Jiang Yue like this before!
What stimulation did she receive
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu said slowly: "Your Majesty really cannot hide from Concubine Zhou."
Jiang Yue's face instantly became clouded. Zhou Sang immediately stood up and knelt down when he saw this: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Xiaoqi is just a child. She doesn't know much about what happened back then!"
Wen Qingzhu sat still, with his head lowered, and his slightly trembling hands made Jiang Yue's mood slowly calm down.
Jiang Yue raised his hand and asked Zhou Sang to sit down again.
Then Jiang Yue said in a sad voice: "I know that your grandmother looked down on me back then. If it weren't for this, your grandfather could have resigned and retired early."
Wen Qingzhu suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Yue intently.
Why is Jiang Yue's statement different from what she got from Xue Ren
Jiang Yue looked at Wen Qingzhu's face, as if looking at another person.
Just as he was about to speak, Hu Fei's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty! Please ask Miss Wen Qi to come out!"
