Jiang Yijia left Pingguo Houhou's Mansion with a gloomy expression and returned directly to Fu's house.
At the door of Fu's house, she saw Fu Yu inviting Jiang Yuancheng to come in.
At this moment, the anger in Jiang Yijia's heart was completely ignited.
But soon, she calmed down again.
The trip to Wen Qingzhu was not in vain.
At least she understood the point.
"It's not Fu Yu who plotted against you, it was the Madam Tai from the beginning. It's difficult to survive alone, and starting over is the hardest thing. The Madam has watched the Fu family go from prosperity to decline. She is a dying person, and she can do anything for the Fu family. .”
Jiang Yijia calmed down and carefully thought about her interactions with Fu Yu.
Fu Yu has always adhered to understanding and never seemed to do anything remotely intimate.
Every time the two of them were together they kept a considerable distance.
Jiang Yijia suddenly remembered that Pei Zhixuan came over and seemed to have something to do with him.
In order to show her generosity, Jiang Yijia left the pavilion.
But she was so jealous in her heart that she stopped after walking only a short distance.
Although Fu Yu's expression could not be clearly seen, Fu Yu and Pei Zhixuan were obviously much more comfortable together.
The most important thing is that Fu Yu did not deliberately keep a distance.
Jiang Yijia didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit it.
Fu Yu had never given her any illusions, and he might not have accompanied her if not for Mrs. Tai's instructions.
"Go back to the palace."
Jiang Yijia lowered the car curtain and finally chose to leave.
Ten days later, Jiang Yue's health was getting better and better, and he went to court in person on December 15th.
Reports on the battle in Ganzhou were sent to the capital one by one.
The courtiers also argued endlessly about this. The reason why Jiagu Pass has not been taken back is not because Fu Lie is incompetent, but because the military pay has been embezzled and there is no way to send troops!
The imperial envoys sent there did not dare to offend anyone, and they never found any results.
Jiang Yue knew that Ganzhou must have some constraints on Fu Lie, but for dragging down Fu Lie like this, he was furious on the spot!
A scolding made the Jinluan Hall fall into silence.
"King Chu, didn't I tell you to take charge of the affairs in Ganzhou?"
Jiang Yuancheng responded: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have already asked Prime Minister Pei and sent an imperial envoy over, but..."
"I don't want a but! I just want the result! Ganzhou has never been lost for so long! I order you to be fully responsible for this matter, and you can decide on your own regarding personnel deployment! If you cannot give me an explanation before the Lantern Festival, I will ask you!"
Under this order, no one dared to comment.
On the same day, Jiang Yuancheng personally selected two people to go to Ganzhou.
One is Wei Lin and the other is Zhang Ke.
This arrangement makes it impossible for anyone to find fault.
Zhang Ke was the main person in charge of the canal project, as was Wei Lin.
Wei Lin is a member of the Wei family, which is now unique in the entire capital. He went to Ganzhou and was the main imperial envoy, while Zhang Ke was only his deputy.
Such an arrangement is really clever!
The news was quickly sent to the Pingguo Hou Mansion, and the person who came this time was Jin Yuanbao.
After he hurriedly said these things, he couldn't help but look left and right.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Jin Yuanbao looked away and admitted generously: "Shaoyao has returned to his hometown, and Lu Tao has started to take charge of the outside affairs. Jasmine and Xi'er should be waiting around you. Why did you only see Jasmine and not Xi'er?"
"As expected of a member of Yushitai, all the activities in the Hou Mansion have been found out." Wen Qingzhu pretended not to understand what he said.
Jin Yuanbao shook his head: "If it weren't for Xi'er, I wouldn't have inquired so clearly! She's not a talkative woman on the street!"
"Xi'er is waiting by my side." Wen Qingzhu didn't know what to say. Jin Yuanbao had been in the capital for more than two years, and some things began to become clearer.
"Then why isn't she here? I finally found a chance to come over and want to see her!" Jin Yuanbao still didn't realize the problem.
Wen Qingzhu changed the subject: "You will be crowned next year, right?"
"Yes, the teacher also said that I should get married anyway!" Jin Yuanbao suddenly became a little shy, and he didn't know whether to hold or loosen his hands, there was simply nowhere to put them.
"I heard that your teacher brought his granddaughter to Beijing with him?"
Jin Yuanbao was stunned: "How does Madam know?"
Wen Qingzhu sighed: "That's why Xi'er wants to avoid suspicion. She didn't want to see you on purpose."
"How can that work! I... I didn't agree to marry Feifei!" Jin Yuanbao stood up and said nervously, "Xi'er must have misunderstood! I told her that I would not marry her unless she !”
"Then you don't like the girls from the Zheng family and the girls from the Cui family that Mr. Lei mentioned to you?" Wen Qingzhu said it directly, which made Jin Yuanbao stunned.
Wen Qingzhu asked him to sit down, and Jasmine came over to change him to hot tea.
Jin Yuanbao's expression was obviously at a loss. He picked up the cup and drank, but accidentally burned his mouth and almost threw the cup at Wen Qingzhu.
Fortunately, there was a hand that grabbed the cup and avoided Jin Yuanbao's gaffe.
Seeing the familiar hand in front of him, Jin Yuanbao stood up: "Xi'er! I..."
Before she finished speaking, Xi'er respectfully took out her handkerchief and said, "Master Jin, if you don't mind, my servant can help you dry the tea stains."
"You—" Jin Yuanbao was so angry that he threw Xi'er's hand away, turned around and rushed out.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Xi'er: "You don't have to be like this."
"My lady taught me to break it when it's broken." Xi'er bent down to pick up the handkerchief on the ground, flicked the ashes, and continued, "He can achieve what he has today. The teacher certainly helped him, but more It’s all about his own efforts.”
Seeing that Xi'er didn't continue, Wen Qingzhu saw a shadow at the door.
She helped Xi'er and said: "But when he arrived in the capital and entered the Yushitai, he was appreciated by Lord Lei, but it was not enough. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, he must have the help of his in-laws, so Lord Lei I intend to marry him to the Zheng family or the Cui family. Although they are not top-notch families like the Wei family and the Fu family, compared to his origin, it is enough to save him half a lifetime of struggle."
"Yes, Sister Lutao told me that too." Xi'er lowered her head, that's why she didn't want to see Jin Yuanbao again.
Since it's blocking his future, he should just quit.
Anyway, he is still young. After a few years, he will understand sooner or later.
Wen Qingzhu actually felt a little sorry for Xi'er. She watched helplessly as Xi'er changed from the timid and cowardly person to the brave and lively person she is today.
Xi'er has experienced no less things than she does. Although she is not as smart as Lu Tao and others, she can still see the situation clearly.
If she, who claims to be a slave of the Wen family, really marries Jin Yuanbao, she will only become an obstacle to his career.
"Actually, there is another way."
Wen Qingzhu was reluctant to do this, so she never said anything.
Xi'er raised her head, and the shadow outside also trembled.
"If he's willing to use me, none of this will be a problem."
Xi'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "A person like him can't do that."
Wen Qingzhu sighed. It was precisely because he knew it wouldn't happen that he didn't say anything.
He glanced outside the door, but the shadow didn't move.
Wen Qingzhu didn't hesitate too much and just said: "Go and see him off."
Xi'er took the order and went down.
From morning to afternoon, Xi'er never came back to the main courtyard.
But Lu Tao, who was working outside, came back.
"Miss, I met a pilgrim at Fengguo Temple, and I helped her with a small favor on the way up the mountain. She insisted on giving me a plate of pastries, and then—"
Lu Tao took out an extremely thin and short roll and placed it in front of Wen Qingzhu: "I found this inside the pastry."
Wen Qingzhu opened it and saw the non-Chinese text.
It just so happened that she knew these words for some reason.
It says: The treasure is in Ganzhou, and cooperation can solve the Hou Ye's urgent need.
Wen Qingzhu's expression became serious, but soon she smiled.
Unexpectedly, they actually went treasure hunting!
And I found it so quickly!
Wen Qingzhu didn't quite believe him. After all, the high priest of the surviving family of the Yue Kingdom could force Jiang Yue to that point. How could he be someone who couldn't solve such a problem
But one thing she was sure of was that the high priest must have found the treasure based on the treasure map he got, not necessarily in Ganzhou, but definitely near Ganzhou.
What is most certain is that the high priest is in danger and needs help.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu's expression changing several times, Lu Tao was a little unsure: "Is he the high priest of the Yue Kingdom's surviving family?"
"That's right, he found the treasure." Wen Qingzhu couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect that the arrogant high priest would one day ask for help.
Lu Tao was shocked: "They actually found the treasure!"
"That's right! He asked me for help! Now I have to think about it carefully." Wen Qingzhu knew that this was an excellent opportunity.
It can perfectly solve the problem of Ganzhou, but those who embezzle military pay will escape.
Wen Qingzhu didn't want to let it go.
When Xi'er came back, Wen Qingzhu asked her to rest at home for a day, while he took Jasmine to see Jiang Yijia.
In Jiaoyang Pavilion, Wen Qingzhu did not expect that Luo Chan was there.
"His Majesty Luo Fei heard that I have been in a bad mood these past few days, so she specially sent me some golden cakes that I like. Madam, would you like to try them together? Luo Fei said she made them herself?"
Jiang Yijia was leaning on the couch, looking at Luo Chan who was standing in front of her with a half-smile.
Wen Qingzhu knew what kind of person Luo Chan was, and it was absolutely impossible for her to make cakes for Jiang Yijia with her own hands.
Because Luo Chan really wanted to kill Jiang Yijia.
Wen Qingzhu could only think of one person who could make her give in like this.
"The Emperor's health has improved a lot recently, and Concubine Luo must have felt much more relaxed." Wen Qingzhu wanted to test Luo Chan.
But obviously, Luo Chan had been prepared: "The emperor is in good health, which is what I have always hoped for. Your Majesty often misses Princess Yijia when you come here, so I took it upon myself to come and have a look."
Without saying a few words, Luo Chan said goodbye and left.
The sarcasm on Jiang Yijia's face became more intense: "Luo Chan, this bitch! I will kill her sooner or later!"
Wen Qingzhu frowned slightly: "I can help you solve Yuan Chang's problem."
"How to solve it?" Jiang Yijia immediately sat up straight.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yijia personally escorted Wen Qingzhu out of the palace.
"Is this really going to make him wholeheartedly help me?" Jiang Yijia still didn't quite believe it.
Wen Qingzhu only said one sentence: "The results will be revealed naturally in three days."
Jiang Yijia looked at the back of the carriage leaving, feeling very heavy in her heart.
Fu Yu will not like it if he does this.
But once she loses control of Yuan Chang, Kangcheng's military power will be lost sooner or later.
Without power, Jiang Yijia could almost predict how miserable her end would be.
So that night, Jiang Yijia secretly left the palace and came to a separate courtyard in a corner of the capital.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the house, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
The burly man leaning on the Taishi's chair, wearing a crimson military attaché official uniform without an official hat, was holding a jug of wine in his hand, dripping down.
"General Yuan." Jiang Yijia lifted the curtain and revealed her well-groomed face.
Concubine Li was beautiful, Jiang Yue was not bad either, and Jiang Yijia was naturally beautiful as well.
As the saying goes, if you look at a beauty under the lamp, you are not very beautiful. Moreover, Jiang Yijia is also a great beauty. This glance made Yuan Chang drop the wine bottle in his hand directly to the ground.
"your Highness… …"
Jiang Yijia was very satisfied with Yuan Chang's lost soul, but she still hated such a rough and arrogant man in her heart.
