Chapter 173: Concealment
Cao Xuan didn't notice Bai Su's strange appearance, but pondered for a while, and said softly: "You don't know Li Qian. Li Changqing was born as a bandit, he is still interested in force, and he doesn't like bondage, and he admires a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. In our opinion, Jianan is already magnanimous to Li Qian, but for them, it may be a great shame......"
Bai Su frowned.
Li Qian gave her the feeling that this was not the case.
However, Cao Xuan and Li Qian have had a lot of contact, maybe Cao Xuan is right.
She said to Cao Xuan: "Do you have anything else to do, can you accompany me to the Zhenguo Mansion?" Since Jiang Shibo suspects that I know about Jiang Xian's relationship with Li Qian, I think I should try my best to explain this matter clearly. Otherwise, it won't do you any good, or I or Jianan. And you can take this opportunity to persuade Jiang Shibo, don't guess like last time, guessing that the emperor kidnapped Jianan, and it ended up wasting three or four days of effort. If it had been found out that there was something wrong with Jinxiao, maybe Jianan would have returned. ”
Cao Xuan agreed, under the pretext that the Fang family had something to see Bai Su to resign to Beidinghou.
Beidinghou didn't ask much, and sent a carriage to carry Bai Su to follow Cao Xuan to the Zhenguo Mansion.
Jiang Zhenyuan, who was having breakfast with Fang's family, saw Cao Xuan go and returned immediately, and brought Bai Su, knowing that they were here to explain to him, but he was still angry, and simply rejected Bai Su rudely/violently and directly: "Let them go back! ”
Bai Su was anxious, and she hurriedly begged the little guy who came over to deliver the message: "Trouble the little brother to go again, just say that I have something important to tell Jiang Shibo, if Jiang Shibo rests, let me see Mrs. Fang." ”
She once followed Jiang Xian to live in the Zhenguo Mansion, and this little guy served in the inner courtyard, Bai Su didn't know others, but others knew her, knew that she was Qinghui Xiangjun, and Jiang Xian was good friends, thought about it, and went to the main courtyard again.
Jiang Zhenyuan had already changed his clothes and was ready to sleep, but he was unmoved when he listened to the little girl's manners.
Mrs. Fang thought about Bai Su's well-behaved appearance on weekdays, and couldn't help but persuade: "No matter why you are annoyed with Zhangzhu, she is a junior after all." What if you meet her? Besides, I think this kid is good, maybe there is some misunderstanding!"
Jiang Zhenyuan went back to the room and told Fang about Jiang Xian, seeing that Fang was talking for Bai Su like this, it was not good to save his wife's face, so he had to redress and go to the study in the inner courtyard.
Cao Xuan was a little worried about Bai Su and decided to accompany Bai Su to see Jiang Zhenyuan.
Bai Su asked Cao Xuan to go back first: "Since Jiang Shibo is willing to see me, he must not be angry." After I met Jiang Shibo, I wanted to go and see Mrs. Fang - Jia Nan was missing, she must have been very sad and uneasy, so I accompanied her to talk. ”
Cao Xuan couldn't help but look at Bai Su twice.
Not to mention anything else, Bai Su does have his own set of ways to deal with people, no wonder he was selected by the Empress Dowager to accompany Jiang Xian in the palace, and he also got the title of Qinghui Xiangjun.
He got up and took his leave.
Bai Su took the little maid to the study in the inner courtyard.
When she saw Jiang Zhenyuan, she hurriedly said: "Jiang Shibo, Bao Ning is afraid that he did not elope with Li Qian, but was kidnapped by Li Qian." ”
Jiang Zhenyuan felt that she was playing clever, and she was alarmist in order to oppose the guest.
Bai Su felt Jiang Zhenyuan's coldness, and was a little sad, and said, "I did have some things that I didn't say to Shibo, but there was a reason for that. She said, with a slight pause in her tone, and then said, "There is one thing that I have not sued anyone." After the Chung Yeung Festival last year, I went home and returned to the palace, but Boryeong's words suddenly became very few, and I was lazy and not interested in doing anything. But suddenly one day, she asked me to cover for her, and she was going to go out of the palace...... Although I don't know why Boryeong left the palace, and what was the purpose of leaving the palace. But since that day, that Li Qian came to Baoning every once in a while, and the two of them often muttered as if they were discussing something......"
Jiang Zhenyuan was shocked when he heard this.
He counted the days, and that was when Jiang Xian found out that the emperor had an affair with the Fang family.
He had been suspicious of Jiang Xian's sources before.
Now it seems that the one who helped Jiang Xian inquire about the news should be Li Qian.
That's right.
Jiang Xian found that something was wrong with the emperor and wanted to check the emperor's details. But they were plotting with the emperor about the palace change at that time, and no one had time to pay attention to her. She had no choice but to ask Li Qian for help, and then in order to thank Li Qian for his help, Jiang Xian recommended Li Qian to him.
Even in order to let Li Qian gain the trust of the Empress Dowager Cao as much as possible, Jiang Xian staged a big show at the Shuimu Self-Kissing Wharf, giving the Li family a reason to take refuge in the Empress Dowager Cao, and also dispelled the suspicion of the Empress Dowager Cao, so that the Li family made a big show in the palace change, and became the most high-profile military family in the dynasty, from a bandit who recruited An to a loyal and strong courtier, whitewashing the Li family and Li Qian......
Therefore, even if Li Qian and Jiang Xian have contact, it is not because of personal affairs.
If Bai Su didn't tell himself, he would probably never know that Boryeong still had so many secrets.
Jiang Zhenyuan was in a trance.
In this case, the relationship between the two should be very good, why did Bai Su say that Li Qian kidnapped Jiang Xian?
Bai Su saw Jiang Zhenyuan's confusion and continued: "Uncle should know that the Bai family and the Cao family got married, and it was Boring who made the matchmaker. A red cloud floated on her face, "That's because she knows that I like Cao Xuan......" She unreservedly told Jiang Xian what she thought about her marrying Cao Xuan, and decided to marry Zhao Xiao in order to be able to serve the Empress Dowager Tiannian and so on, and said with red eyes, "Uncle Jiang, you see, Bao Ning is so assertive, how could she let herself be reduced to solving her marriage by elopement?"
Jiang Zhenyuan listened, and broke out in a cold sweat......

Coming out of the Zhenguo Mansion, Cao Xuan stood on the crowded Suzaku Street, dazed for a moment.
Now what should he do?
Jiang Lu and Wang Zan have already rushed to Shanxi.
The Jiang family will definitely suppress this matter.
But for those who are always concerned about the dynamics of the imperial court, especially when it is rumored that the emperor is about to start the election, there are always people who can find out that Jiang Xian has appeared in Shanxi.
And the Queen Mother is one of them.
When the time comes, how will he explain Li Qian's actions to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother knew that the Li family was playing tricks, deceiving her, and that she was a chess piece arranged by the Jiang family by her side, could she withstand another blow?
Cao Xuan walked slowly among the crowd that followed.
For the first twenty years, he was under the protection of the Queen Mother.
Now that the Queen Mother is down, she has lost power, and it is up to him to take care of the Queen Mother.
He couldn't let this happen.
He couldn't let the Queen Mother suffer another fatal blow.
He had to sue the Empress Dowager before anyone else found out about Jiang Xian's strangeness.
As for how the Li family will calculate the queen mother, how the Jiang family is going to deal with the Cao family, and what kind of kindness the emperor is, he will take care of it.
Cao Xuan's hands slowly clenched into fists.
From now on, he will support the Cao family.
Let others talk about the Cao family, no longer only see a queen mother.
Cao Xuan shouted to his entourage: "Prepare a horse for me, and we will go to Wanshou Mountain." ”
