The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 131. Hands-on
Mrs. Jiang’s death gave the Jiang mansion a big shock. It is not so much that the news of Mrs. Jiang’s death is too shocking, but it is more shocking that Jiang Ruan was arrested in prison. After Jiang Quan learned of the incident, he was naturally angry. In the Guilan courtyard that day, Caique was the only one left in front of Mrs. Jiang. Caique had been with Mrs. Jiang for many years, and what he said was convincing. As for Mrs. Jiang’s tea, it was discovered that there was arsenic in it.
Rumors in the streets and alleys were that Jiang Ruan had a deep grudge against Mrs. Jiang, so he took arsenic to eat with Mrs. Jiang. It’s just that even though these words are spread far and wide, smart people can tell the clue as soon as they hear it. If it is to murder someone, would it be too stupid to arsenic in person? Princess Hong’an is not a fool, how could he find his own way.
However, suspicion belongs to suspicion, after all, it is Jiang’s own business. While everyone talked about it, they were also waiting to see the excitement. How did the sister of the God of War of the Dajin Dynasty and the Red Man Princess next to the Empress Dowager Yide now reverse this situation?
Xu was a bit too fierce from the outside world. Jiang Quan issued a ban on footing, and no one in the mansion was allowed to walk around except to buy. In the courtyard of the second aunt, Yang Liu is carefully serving the second aunt to drink medicine.
“Take it farther away!” Er Yi Niang waved aside the medicine bowl, her face showing a bit of irritability. Jiang Quan did not allow the people in the palace to go out, nor did outsiders come in, and even the subordinates who passed the news did not get the news, let alone what the outside looked like. Thinking of the thirty thousand taels of silver she had given out, the second aunt gritted her teeth, she escorted all her wealth up, and it was hard for Jiang Ruan to escape.
Although Hu Qianqiu asked her, it has been many years. On the surface, Hu Qianqiu helped him because of his past affection, but in fact he didn’t want to quietly catch the Jiang family line. The battle between Xuanhua and Xuanli became more intense, and even though Hu Qianqiu was in Xuanhua’s line, he inevitably felt a little hesitant in his heart. If you can catch the Jiang’s line, you can take care of it in the future.
Li Qiang is her own nephew, and he is the best gambler on weekdays. She owes a debt. If she doesn’t see through this, she won’t let Li Qiang do things for her. She had never thought of bringing Jiang Ruan down by framing Jiang Ruan. She only wanted Li Qiang to use some tricks while in prison. However, if a woman would naturally commit suicide after this incident, she would not commit suicide, and Li Qiang would also help. She made herself suicide. Jiang Li was originally given by Jiang Ruan, and his body was ruined by the prince of evil spirits, and he also gained a reputation for licentiousness. Now she wants Jiang Ruan to taste that taste. She is ruined and loses her reputation.
Only in prison, there is no one around Jiang Ruan, and it is best to start. It was a foolproof thing, but there was no news from over there, and there was a trace of anxiety in the second aunt’s heart. This anxiety also brought a trace of unknown premonition, which made her flustered inexplicably.
After a pause, she stood up and said, “I’m going to see Jiang Dan.”
The courtyard of Jiang Dan, which is close to Ruan Ju, is also quiet at this moment. The funeral white silk was hung everywhere. Jiang Dan was wrapped in white clothes and sat in front of the window, playing with the white flowers on the table. Her long hair was not pulled up, and she casually spread her shoulders, which made the shoulders even weaker. The whole person was like the white flower in her hand, fragile and helpless, so pitiful.
“Girl.” The maid came up and said, “The second aunt is outside.”
“I don’t feel well today. I don’t see it.” Jiang Dan fiddled with his hair and got up and walked towards the bed.
The maid was a little embarrassed, but she didn’t dare to refrain from it, so she bit her head and went out. Jiang Dan walked to the bed and sat down, and pulled the soft smoke tent off his backhand. The newly made autumn-scented Tianxiangluo soft smoke tent, exudes the scent of if there is nothing, the color is bright and moving, and a horse is also very expensive. Although Hongying’s master and the young ladies didn’t dare to know what they were doing, she was a concubine and couldn’t afford these things.
But it was a gift from someone else without leaving a name. Just thinking about who that person was, Zuo Jiang’s attitude was too warm. A trace of disdain flashed across Jiang Dan’s face. If it was in the past, the doctor’s house was indeed a good place to go, but now the future of the doctor’s house is worrisome, and there is no room for advancement in the official career. She’s not a fool, how could she get in, but Zuo Jiang is very self-confident, and really thinks she wants to marry her eagerly.
In the end, there is still some use to keep it. Jiang Dan played with the buckle that tied the tent, and he was in a good mood. Er Yi Niang, that idiot, wanted to come and do it yesterday. Just a few words of incitement, let the stupid woman find someone on her own. It would be good if Jiang Ruan could be defeated, only Jiang Dan knew in his heart that with Jiang Ruan’s skill, Er Yi Niang would definitely not be her opponent. In the end, the loser was the second aunt.
so what? The hatred flashed in Jiang Dan’s eyes. At the beginning, the second aunt persuaded Jiang Li to take away the marriage she won in this way. Do you really think she is a soft persimmon? Jiang Li is dead, and the second aunt is alive and well, but that’s not true. The people who offend her in the world always have no good fruit. It was Jiang Li at first, but now it is the second aunt, and in the future… She smiled slightly, stretched out the porcelain white hand, and delicately rolled up an embroidery, embroidering it. I was embroidering a young phoenix, stretching his neck to cry, as if waiting for a breeze, the phoenix would roar for nine days.
In the imperial study room, Zhao Guang wiped the sweat from his head, his expression finally relaxed. In any case, the emperor always revealed a bit of meaning that the matter would not end in a hasty. Thinking that Jiang Ruan is now also the princess who is invited by the royal family, what is really going to happen, isn’t it the emperor’s face.
Thinking of Hu Qianqiu at Yushitai, Zhao Guang was irritated. Zhao Guang was the veteran of the opening dynasty and the general of the auxiliary country. In the DPRK and China on weekdays, his colleagues would always have a three-point courtesy. Hu Qianqiu’s ability to sit firmly in Yushitai’s position in the courtyard is inseparable from his shrewd and sleek temperament. Only Zhao Guang had always criticized the civil servants, and did not have too much overlap with Hu Qianqiu. Unexpectedly, the courteous and courteous press court sent Jiang Ruan to prison this time. It seemed that there was no problem, but Zhao Guang’s intuition was that this turtle grandson must have been involved in it.
The emperor threw the zipper in his hand aside, pressed his forehead, Gao Gonggong watched his eyes and his heart, silently on the side. Only the Queen Mother Yide came, and she told the emperor about Jiang Ruan. The Empress Dowager Yide has rarely paid attention to such trivial matters in recent years, but she did not expect that it was for Princess Hong’an to take care of these things again. Gao Gonggong thought in his heart that the Hongan Princess had won the empress dowager’s true love, and the Zhao family was behind him, plus Jiang Xinzhi’s merits, the emperor didn’t pay much attention to her, and now he is afraid that he will have to re-examine the Jiang family. A prostitute.
At this moment, I heard a small eunuch from outside telling King Jinying to see him, Xiao Shaofang entered the house, and the emperor looked at him and said, “Why, don’t tell me, you are also here for Princess Hong’an?”
Xiao Shao was silent.
The emperor said inadvertently, but he was taken aback when he saw Xiao Shao’s appearance. He frowned slightly and said, “What is your relationship with Hongan?”
Xiao Shao said indifferently: “Hu Qianqiu, as an official of the Imperial Palace, is not strictly investigated, he is blinded by slut, and he has been promoted repeatedly. Please severely punish Hu Qianqiu.”
“You talk to me like this, the representative has already taken action, and what are you still asking me to do?” The emperor snorted coldly: “Princess Hong’an really has some tricks, just for a while, the people who love me opened my eyes. I never knew when my courtiers had such friendship with Princess Hong’an.”
Xiao Shao frowned. The emperor’s words were not like Zhao Guang and the empress dowager Yi De. It was reasonable for Zhao Guang and Yi De to plead for Jiang Ruan. The emperor didn’t need to speak like this, maybe there were others. He looked at the emperor suspiciously, and the emperor patted the zhezi on the table: “Don’t think about it, Taifu Liu has also been here.”
Liu Min also came to beg for Jiang Ruan, Xiao Shao was slightly taken aback.
The emperor was a bit angry, and such trivial things shouldn’t have been told in the royal study room. But what I heard one after another today was Jiang Ruan’s things. How could he not let him think about it. Liu Min has been arrogant and arrogant since he became an official in the court. He has never had a courtier who is particularly acquainted, but today is unprecedented. Plead with Jiang Ruan. He glanced at Xiao Shao, and Jiang Ruanyan’s charming appearance appeared in his mind. Is he really fascinated by beauty?
“A Shao, your marriage…” Before the emperor finished speaking, he saw Xiao Shao calmly said: “Since there is nothing else to do, the Weichen retires first.”
The emperor choked and waved his hand for a while: “Go down.”
The little eunuch who was waiting outside watched Xiao Shao go in and went out very quickly. Looking at the emperor’s unpleasant expression, it was true that King Jinying was a chaotic court thief, and even the emperor couldn’t help him. The old man in the room sighed in his heart and shook his head.
Xiao Shao’s visit to the Imperial Study Room today was only to inform the emperor, and he didn’t even need to get permission. After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Shao went directly to the Imperial Palace.
Officials at Yushitai are dealing with official documents. This errand says that it is busy and busy, and that it is leisure and leisure. Only cases related to the royal or important ministers will be under the jurisdiction of Yushitai. Most of the people at the top are leisurely and the people at the bottom are busy, and everyone in the officialdom is tacit, and there is no big basket. Hu Qianqiu’s hastily arresting Jiang Ruan in this way has already dissatisfied everyone in Taichung Yushi.
At present, Yushitai has two people who are based on the court and the court who is slightly worse. The court is Hu Qianqiu, and the court is Ke Xiuran. Ke Xiuran lives under Hu Qianqiu all the year round. Only Hu Qianqiu firmly holds the seat of the court, making Ke Xiuran. There has been no chance.
The officials of Yushitai are also roughly divided into two factions. One faction supports Hu Qianqiu and the other supports Ke Xiuran. Naturally, more of them hold Hu Qianqiu. Ke Xiuran was opposed to the imprisonment of Princess Hong’an this time.
Seeing Xiao Shao coming in suddenly surprised the officials of Yushitai. They saw a middle-aged man in dark blue official uniform sitting in the hall, thin and dark, with a dark eye. This man was Ke Xiuran. .
Ke Xiuran stood up, bowed to Xiao Shao, and said, “Lord Xiao.”
Xiao Shao glanced at him coldly and threw what was in his hand to Ke Xiuran. Ke Xiuran was taken aback for a moment. He saw clearly that it was a letter, then walked to the side and read the letter, his expression was already excited and unable to hold on himself. He looked at Xiao Shao with a little excitement in his eyes: “This…”
“Hu Qianqiu doesn’t want to do this, so you don’t have to do it.” Xiao Shao said, turning around and leaving Yushitai.
Leaving Ke Xiuran alone holding the things in his hand, what was written in this letter was enough to clean up Yushitai. Of course, it had no effect on him, but Hu Qianqiu’s official position was not guaranteed. Since Xiao Shao had lost this thing, his attitude was tacit, and Ke Xiuran would not be prevented from doing anything. It was just why King Jinying, who had always ignored the affairs of the DPRK, suddenly targeted Hu Qianqiu.
Ke Xiuran thought for a while, and suddenly remembered Jiang Ruan, who was still in prison. He moved in his heart. That was the case. It was Hu Qianqiu who was looking for death by himself. He had long seen that Princess Hong’an was not a good offender, but was directed at Jiang. The name of Xinzhi, the emperor will also protect Princess Hong’an. But Hu Qianqiu didn’t know what evil he had hit, and locked up Princess Hong’an. I don’t want to think, if something annoys Jiang Xinzhi, the god of war, the road to official career will come to an end.
Regarding Hu Qianqiu’s ending, Ke Xiuran was naturally gloating, thinking that Princess Hong’an was really no one else, and King Jinying would also give her a helping hand. Suddenly thinking of something, he quickly stood up, even if he looked at King Jinying’s face, he would absolutely not neglect the Lord Hongan. It’s better to give an explanation to the officer.
京城中别的地方尚且不知,蒋府里气氛却很是沉重,蒋老夫人的灵柩放置在新设好的灵堂中,全府人披麻戴孝,夜里守着灵堂的人正是杜鹃和彩雀两人。
杜蒋老夫人死后,两个丫鬟也没了去处,念在跟了老夫人这么多年也有苦劳,还是按照往常惯例放出府去。杜鹃和彩雀如今已过了双十有七年华,皆是还未婚配,杜鹃是家生子,老子娘还在蒋府庄子上做事,放出府去还能有一方容身之所。彩雀却是当年蒋老夫人从外面买回来的,一直孤身一人。
夜里灵堂更是冷清的很,蒋老夫人的棺材散发出幽幽的沉色,外头一起风穿过灵堂而入,将本就微弱的白蜡吹得摇摇欲坠,盆里的纸钱有未燃完的晃晃悠悠的飘起来,好像有一只看不见的手在拿着纸钱玩耍似的。司乐的人早已回去了,蒋府里越发冷清,似乎硕大的府邸只有她们两人。
杜鹃起身去上茅房了迟迟未归,便只剩下彩雀一人。白纸灯笼在房梁上摇摇晃晃,洒下一片斑驳的黑影,无端的有些渗人。
彩雀心中一紧,不由得伸手抱住自己的双臂,花窗外月光不知什么时候已经隐没了,似乎只有灵堂这点微弱的光亮,而阴风一起,这点微弱的光似乎也要熄灭了。
突然,棺材猛地发出一声脆响,那声音奇怪,正像是有人用指甲在挠木板一般,彩雀身子一僵,一股寒意兜头盖脸的将她身上浇了个透心凉。不安的往前走了走,便又是一声巨大的响声,吓得她面色一白,身子一下子软到在地上。
杜鹃一去竟像是没了声息,再也没回来,那巨大的声音越来越大,越来越大,几乎是炸响在彩雀耳边,地上,灯笼光亮的阴影里,突兀的出现了一个影子。
那影子细细长长,身子像是被人奇怪的拉长了一般,依稀是个女人的身影,头发长长的拖下来,在灵堂中异常的显眼。
彩雀惨叫一声,再也无法保持冷静,这般的景象实在是太渗人了,她一下子跪了下来,朝那灵堂上的灵牌一个劲儿的磕头:“老夫人,是奴婢错了,奴婢不该害你,饶了奴婢吧,求求你饶了奴婢吧。”
The black shadow did not let her go. Seeing Rao Jiang from behind, getting closer and closer, Cai Que only felt a pair of cold hands on her neck and her long gray nails. After wiping it, she finally couldn’t help but raise her head, facing a pale face, her eyes were big and dark, her straight hair was all over her body, and her lips were covered with black blood.
Cai Que finally collapsed and started crying loudly: “Old lady, the maidservant was wrong! Old lady…” The voice stopped abruptly, and Cai Que’s eyes fell loose and fell softly.
The oozing ghost pulled off his headgear, revealing a charming face. It was Jin San. Jin San took out a medicine bottle from his arms, skillfully pinched Caique’s chin and fed her to eat, Caique fell softly to the ground.
Jin San just stepped out. Outside the window, Jin was holding the cuckoo blankly. The cuckoo was tapped on the acupuncture point. He looked terrified and couldn’t say a word.
“Oh, don’t you want to be like her?” Jin San smiled, although she was born Yanli, she looked like a ghost in Du Juan’s eyes.
Cuckoo shook his head in horror.
Jin San smiled: “Then I will unlock your acupuncture points, don’t yell, if it distracts me, then…” The silver hairpin in her hand exudes a faint blue light, which is obviously poisoned with venom.
The cuckoo nodded quickly.
Jin San only then solved the acupuncture points. As soon as he unlocked the acupuncture points, Du Juan hurriedly asked, “How is she?”
“Nothing.” Jin San said in a relaxed tone: “It’s just that he has become a fool from then on.”
Du Juan was taken aback for a moment, and a feeling of sadness suddenly surged in his heart. She and Caique served Mrs. Jiang together in their early years. These years, they had a very deep feeling of advancing and retreating together, but she was kidnapped by this stranger just now, and she watched Caique being frightened to this point. And from now on becoming a fool… What can happen to a maid who becomes a fool?
“Don’t patronize and feel distressed.” Jin San giggled: “Do you want to be a fool like her? But I don’t know if a beautiful girl like you becomes a fool, so does the prince still like it?”
The cuckoo was startled, and immediately became cold all over. Prince, how could she know Prince Wang?
She knew how Mrs. Jiang died, she knew better than anyone. She was shocked that Caique was so bold, but she also received the bargaining chip from that person. The man said that as long as she can testify, she can get rid of her slavery.
Du Juan followed Mrs. Jiang, originally planning not to marry for the rest of his life. I don’t want to meet a prince, but a slave is not qualified to marry the prince as his wife anyway. If you can get rid of slavery, wouldn’t it be possible to stay and fly with the prince and become a married couple. Therefore, Cuckoo was silent and complied.
