Chapter 918: Jubetsu
In addition to the above, the timing of the fire in the Huan family also happened to make people worry. [No pop-ups. 】
As soon as there was an accident in the Huifeng Palace, all the so-called "relatives" of the Huan family who were enemies of Huan Zicheng died, injured, and sick.
This fire, was it really set by the assassins of Zhao State?
Thinking so much in his heart, Qin Su asked, "What is the current situation of the Huan family?" Their house has been burned down, where does this family live? ”
"Your Highness is worried a lot, these things are difficult for the Huan family, who is the number one in the world." Jiang Banniang said, her expression was quite relaxed: "The Huan family has several Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and the mansion is not much smaller than most of them. Now all the Huan family have moved to live in Zhuangzi, but the whole family mourns, and there are no outsiders. ”
Qin Su let out a soft "um" and asked again: "In addition to these dead and wounded, what about the rest of the Huan family?" ”
Jiang Banniang thought about it sideways, and then said: "I heard my third brother say that the youngest daughter of the Huan family fell ill after suffering from this catastrophe because of her weak health, and she was constantly taking medicine every day. Because she is very favored by Duke Huan, Huan Dalang treats this young girl very well, and sends a lot of people to protect her. ”
When Qin Su heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.
I don't know why, I heard that Huan Zicheng loves her sister very much, and she is still a little uncomfortable.
After being silent for a while, she said again: "Then there is no news from the assassins of Zhao Kingdom so far?" ”
When Jiang Banniang heard this, her face was worried, and she nodded: "Yes, Your Highness." When I got home, my mother told me to be careful and not to go outside. ”
Hearing this, Qin Su's heart moved slightly, raised his eyes to look at her complexion, and asked, "Mrs. Jiang, is she okay?" ”
Jiang Banniang sighed softly: "This is the first time that the fourteenth sister died, my mother is very sad, I went to see her two days ago, and her hair was a few white. ”
Qin Su pondered for a moment, then asked, "Did Mrs. Jiang embarrass you?" ”
"Not really." Jiang Banniang shook her head and said, her face was still very calm: "The fourteenth sister is delicate, since she went to the summer resort, although she has me with her, she has never been happy. She took the palace people to enjoy the scenery at the cliff, and she wanted to scatter her heart, but who wanted to get along with people because of God, and she wanted to make the fourteenth sister fall off the cliff, which was really a pity and a pity. ”
The words are not leaky, but they have explained all the truths on the surface.
After all, the cause of death of Li Shuyi and Bai Fanghua has been said by Emperor Chrysostom of the Zhongyuan Dynasty as "accidentally falling off a cliff", even if the people of the Jiang family have doubts, they can only think about it quietly, how dare they really doubt the emperor's words?
After a short pause, Jiang Banniang said indifferently: "Naturally, my mother also said a few words to me, saying that I didn't have a good life to accompany the fourteenth sister, and said that I shouldn't have gone to her on the day of the incident, even if the fourteenth sister ordered me to go, I shouldn't listen to her." Mother is an elder in the end, she feels uncomfortable, and we, as juniors, need to relieve our worries, and it is also appropriate to be said a few words. ”
Qin Su was relieved, so he smiled at her: "Come to think of it, in the eyes of Jiang Fu, I am afraid that your daughter is more effective than the daughters next to her." ”
"I still want to thank Your Highness for your kindness." Jiang Banniang said with a smile, looking at Qin Su's gaze with gratitude: "Father did mention it to my mother that I was very good friends with His Royal Highness in the palace, and he was very happy. ”
Qin Su nodded silently, and it was difficult to describe all the tastes in his heart for a while.
Since hearing that Du Qiqi knew Jiang Sanniang's true identity, he was afraid that Jiang Fu would shoot this daughter, and he had completely given up.
Jiang Sanniang's death seemed to him to be a very interesting move, and he might secretly rejoice. In comparison, although Jiang Banniang is a concubine, she has the only princess blue eyes, such a useful daughter, Jiang Servant will take a look at it.
And with Jiang Servant, the head of the family, expressing her position, Mrs. Jiang could only blame Jiang Banniang in words for a few words, even if she wanted to be angry with this concubine, she had to taboo the two big Buddhas of Qin Su and Jiang Servant.
At this time, Wen Jiang Banniang said again: "Thank you Your Highness, taking advantage of the chaos outside, to call Concubine Liu into the palace for me." After saying that, she stood up and bowed to Qin Su in a dignified manner.
Qin Su didn't help her, only smiled and waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, in the end, you just lost a sister, I think it's because I'm depressed, I brought Liu Yu into the palace to accompany you, after all, it's just for me." Do you think, wouldn't I be also interested if my companion read with a straight face all day long? ”
Jiang Banniang laughed when she said this, and the gratitude in her eyes became even stronger.
Concubine Liu beside her entered the palace, and it would be quite difficult for Mrs. Jiang to pinch her again. And without this constraint, she really has a feeling that the sea is wide and the sky is high and the birds are flying, and the heart that has been depressed for more than ten years is unprecedentedly comfortable, and she is happy at the moment.
After asking about the current situation of the Huan family and learning that Huan Zicheng's side was unscathed, Qin Su also put down his thoughts, and only stayed in the palace with peace of mind, waiting for the wind to pass.
The time soon came to the autumn equinox, and the maple forest of Xuandu was gradually dyed, and it was directly reflected in the middle of the mountain.
As time passed, the assassins of the Zhao Kingdom were never heard from, and many people speculated that they must have left Dachen, so the capital city returned to its former singing and dancing.
However, not long after this comfortable day, another big event happened in the court.
On the second day of the autumn equinox, Emperor Zhongyuan wrote a plaque of "filial piety and righteousness in the world" with a royal pen, gave Huan Shi, and issued a holy decree that Huan Daofei was "loyal and brave duke".
For a time, the entire court was shaken.
Perhaps the tremor came too suddenly, and within a few days after the plaque and title were given, there was an eerie silence in the court, like the eve of a storm, so quiet that it was almost oppressive.
And the plaque of "filial piety in the world", on the day it was given, it was hung on the lintel of the main house of the Huan family's old house.
The blackened beams and pillars burned by the fire pointed to the sky like bald pens, and the four big golden characters on the plaque made everyone who walked in front of it have a strange feeling of glory and withering.
Huan Zicheng stood between the broken walls and the ruins, looking up at this lacquer plaque, his face was very cold.
It was nearly dusk, the smoke was shining, the evening breeze was blowing through this barren courtyard, and the fine grass occasionally exposed under the scorched earth shivered under the wind, as if it could not resist the invasion of this cold wind.
"Has she been moving lately?" Huan Zicheng asked lightly, leaning down and observing the weak grass closely, as if weighing how long it would survive.
