"Sister." Wen Qingmei threw herself into Wen Qingzhu's arms, "I know, and I also believe that sister never wanted to harm my mother."
Something strange appeared in Wen Qingzhu's heart. She had never thought that Wen Qingmei would trust her so much.
She gently stroked Wen Qingmei's head and promised while looking out the door: "Uncle Wen will die, but he cannot die in my hands or yours. He can only die in Wen Qinglan's hands."
That night, the lights in the Hou Mansion were brightly lit.
With the help of Mrs. Ning, Wen Qingmei began to prepare for the funerals of Yueniang and Wen Mingyao.
Wen Qingzhu, on the other hand, stood in front of Wen Shuquan's bed, silent for a while.
Jiang Yuancheng will definitely find a way to take him away from the Hou Mansion.
Then she took advantage of this and covered Uncle Wen's body.
"Thank you, brother, is there a way to prevent him from ever waking up but still keep him alive?"
Xie Feichen was sitting at the table outside, writing a prescription in his hand.
Hearing her words, he couldn't help but turn around: "Miss Yin's medical skills are not bad. No matter what we do, she can solve it."
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu turned around, "What if it's a witchcraft from southern Xinjiang?"
The next day, Wen Qingzhu personally sent Yueniang's body back to the Wen family.
Jiang Yuancheng and Wen Qinglan were waiting at the door early.
Under their gaze, two coffins, one large and one small, were carried in.
When they arrived at the mourning hall that had been arranged long ago, Wen Qingzhu took the lead and began to offer incense and kowtow.
But in the end, Wen Mingqian was reluctant to move.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him and said, "Tenth brother, she is your stepmother. When she dies, as a concubine, you have to kowtow to her."
Wen Mingqian looked reluctant, but Wen Qinglan walked over and said a few words to him, and he knelt down.
After kowtowing perfunctorily, he walked to the front to burn incense.
He glanced sideways at Wen Qingzhu and the others, then deliberately reached out and pushed, knocking over the incense burner and scattering the ashes on the coffin.
"Wen Mingqian!" Wen Qingmei yelled, shaking with anger.
But Wen Mingqian quickly pretended to shout: "Come quickly! Wipe this coffin!"
At the same time, he deliberately reached out to push the unnailed coffin lid.
But when Wen Mingqian was about to lift the lid, Wen Mingxuan appeared next to him, grabbed Wen Mingqian's wrist with one hand, and warned solemnly: "The deceased has passed away. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for doing this?"
"You kid-"
Just as Wen Mingqian was about to curse, Jiang Yuancheng also walked over, pulled him back, looked at Wen Mingxuan and said, "Mingxuan is right, you will be punished by God for doing this, but the coffin is damaged and is no longer suitable for use."
He turned around and ordered someone to bring a new coffin lid.
Within a quarter of an hour, a new coffin lid was delivered. Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Yuancheng and Wen Qinglan, the widowers opened the old coffin lid, revealing Yueniang's body and a black skeleton wearing clothes.
Jiang Yuancheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and the person inside was actually Yueniang!
As for the black skeleton, it looked like it was Wen Mingyao's remains.
It wasn't until the new coffin lid was closed that Jiang Yuancheng reacted and raised his eyes to meet Wen Qingzhu's.
She quietly looked at the two people standing opposite, her eyes cold.
Jiang Yuancheng looked away and looked at the coffin again. It seemed that Yueniang was really dead.
Then...he wants to get Uncle Wen out even more.
What secrets are hidden in the Pingguo Hou Mansion
Uncle Wen didn't die in the fire, but Yueniang and her son did
Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu and others personally sent the bodies of Yueniang and her son to be buried.
Along the way, no one spoke except for sorrow and joy.
It wasn't until the coffin was placed in the ground and the widowers started filling in the soil that Wen Qingmei knelt down and cried uncontrollably.
Wen Qinglan watched coldly, feeling relieved.
Auntie, this bitch also went down to accompany you.
The funeral was over and everyone returned.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, their convoy met a horse that was hurrying for 800 miles.
"Battle report! Battle report!"
The roaring shouts echoed at the city gate, making Wen Qingzhu's heart tremble.
Could the battle report that came back at this time be from Ganzhou
Under normal circumstances, at the beginning of the new year, as long as nothing unexpected happens, Fu Lie will send a letter back to Beijing no matter what.
But he didn't.
At first, Wen Qingzhu was still taking chances, but now that the battle report came back, Wen Qingzhu couldn't bear it anymore.
She stopped the carriage, found a horse, got on it and ran towards the palace.
When she arrived at the gate of the palace, she had the badge of the Hou Mansion, and the guards did not dare to stop her.
Arriving at the gate of Qianyuan Palace, Wen Qingzhu met Jiang Yuanhan and Prince Ning who were coming.
"Sister!" Jiang Yuanhan was shocked because Wen Qingzhu was wearing sackcloth and mourning.
At first he thought that the funeral was nothing more than an accident, but soon he realized that he must have seen the messenger delivering the battle report.
It was very unlucky for Wen Qingzhu to enter the palace dressed like this at this time.
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Jiang Yuanhan: "What happened in Ganzhou?"
Jiang Yuanhan knew, but he felt it was inappropriate to say these words now.
But King Ning was not worried so much and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Ping State was besieged by Rouran people in Mingsha Mountain and suffered heavy casualties."
After hearing this, Wen Qingzhu immediately turned around and left.
Jiang Yuanhan hurriedly went up and grabbed her: "Sister! Don't worry! My father will definitely send someone to rescue me! The Marquis is wise and powerful, nothing will happen to him!"
"Eighth brother! You think too highly of Lord Fu. He is not a human being no matter how you say it! The Mingsha Mountains are really dangerous, not even a blade of grass can grow, and now it is freezing cold. It is possible that the Marquis of Ping State will break his halberd in the hands of the Rouran people. What’s up?”
Prince Ning told more details as if he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly turned around and stared at Jiang Yuanan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Until Linlang came to the door: "Prince Ning, Prince Rui, and Madam Ping Guohou, your majesty has invited us."
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the study.
Prince Ning and Prince Rui saluted, but Wen Qingzhu looked straight at Jiang Yue with doubts in his eyes.
"Get flat."
Prince Ning stood up straight, glanced at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Father, although Mrs. Ping Guohou is a first-grade imperial concubine, she is so rude -"
"An'er, you and Han'er go down first and wait!" Jiang Yue was not angry and just waved his hand.
Jiang Yuanan was stunned, but he could only obey the order.
After they left, Linlang closed the door.
The room was quiet, with only Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yue looking at each other silently.
After a long time, Jiang Yue spoke first: "I am sorry for him."
"Your Majesty, it's better to wait until he comes back!" Wen Qingzhu always felt that Jiang Yue was a smart man.
But today, she felt that Jiang Yue was simply a pig-brained person!
On the one hand, they want to mobilize the Lu family army, while on the other hand, they do not give Fu Lie a way to survive. The two most capable people in Da Qi Dynasty are passive, let alone the stupid Rou Ran. I am afraid that the Xiongnu and Xianbei will be unable to restrain themselves.
"I have sent the order for Lu Chengfei to lead the army to rescue."
Wen Qingzhu sneered: "Your Majesty is wise."
Although Jiang Yue felt a little guilty, he became more and more dissatisfied when faced with Wen Qingzhu's attitude: "I believe in Fu Lie's ability, how can a mere Rouran person be his opponent!"
"But his opponent has never been Rouran! It's the men of Prince Ning and Prince Chu!" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help it anymore and directly broke through the window paper.
"Nothing has happened in Ganzhou for many years! Except for the time when Yang Shoucun's entire army was destroyed!"
Jiang Yue slapped the table hard, his expression extremely ugly.
But Wen Qingzhu couldn't hold his tongue: "The 300,000-strong army guarding Ganzhou can't drive away the Rouran people who are as stupid as pigs! It takes Fu Lie to lead an army of 30,000 to resist the enemy. What kind of Rouran people do he have to deal with?" However, it’s the 300,000-strong army of the Qi Dynasty! Forget it, Your Majesty asked the King of Chu to send someone to command. What does the King of Chu want to do to Fu Lie! Don’t you know!"
In the empty lobby, Wen Qingzhu's clanging words echoed, and he rebuked the emperor with righteous indignation. This was something that ordinary people would not do.
But Wen Qingzhu did it, and she looked at Jiang Yue with a sneer: "Does Your Majesty have to have all the descendants of the Yang family die before you can rest assured?"
Jiang Yue stared at Wen Qingzhu, furious, wishing he could order someone to drag her down and chop her down.
But for some reason, Jiang Yue suddenly saw the shadow of Concubine Zhou in her body.
After a period of inner excitement, Jiang Yue waved his hand.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and left without hesitation. The door opened. Jiang Yuanan and Jiang Yuanhan looked at her with complicated expressions and watched her leave.
Obviously, they heard Wen Qingzhu's question.
After turning around and going in, the two of them stood in front of Jiang Yue with their heads lowered.
Jiang Yue asked them: "Did I really do something wrong?"
Jiang Yuanan didn't answer, and Jiang Yuanhan didn't know how to answer.
Until Jiang Yuancheng asked to see him outside.
Ten days later, there was still no news from Ganzhou.
However, when no one knew it, a superstitious letter from Youzhou was quietly delivered to the Hou Mansion.
After Wen Qingzhu saw it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Chang, who was sent there, finally had an effect.
But here in the capital, everything is in chaos.
Many people began to question whether Ganzhou's 300,000-strong army was of any use.
Two days later, battle reports came from the front line. Ganzhou was lost and the 300,000-strong army could not resist Rouran's attack.
A large number of people were displaced and the city of Ganzhou fell overnight.
Jiang Yue was furious: "Are all the generals of Ganzhou useless!"
The next day, another battle report came in. General Li took the lead in Pan's defection. Zhang Ke and Wei Lin were seriously injured in order to cover the evacuation of the people.
This time, Jiang Yue directly asked Li Wei to come out and explain.
Li Wei knelt on the ground, not knowing how to explain. He himself didn't understand why Ganzhou fell.
"Prince Ning! I order you to go and recover Ganzhou!"
Two days after King Ning set out, another message came back to the capital.
It turned out that Rouran sent the news of Fu Lie's trap to Xianbei, and the Xianbei people immediately gathered with the Rouran people to attack Ganzhou.
Zhang Ke insisted on putting the people first, and had a fierce conflict with another general of the army.
Later, Zhang Ke went to Ganzhou alone and used a strategic retreat to cover the retreat of more than a thousand people.
But he nearly died and is now in critical condition.
Jiang Yue's face became increasingly ugly, and he sent a letter to King Ning, saying that Zhang Ke's life must be saved.
But within a day, another news came that the Xianbei people in Youzhou were attacking again.
As a last resort, Jiang Yue could only give orders to the Lu Jiajun in Dingyuan to support Youzhou.
But only two days later, the Huns began to gather their troops and marched to the city.
Suddenly, the three defense lines in the north faced crises at the same time.
Jiang Yue completely regretted why he let those idiots in Ganzhou restrain Fu Lie.
At night, Jiang Yue became furious and summoned Mr. Cui overnight.
After discussing for half an hour, Jiang Yue finally issued a secret edict.
No one except Mr. Cui knew this secret order.
But Wen Qingzhu of Ping Guohou Mansion finally felt relieved.
Standing in front of her were Feihong and Shaoyao who came from Youzhou.
