422. Chapter 422: The Maintenance of the Green Thread
"What did you say to make you so embarrassed?" The Queen Mother reluctantly mentioned three points of interest, Jian Ye didn't mention the matter of Fragrance going to King Jian's Mansion, she couldn't take the initiative to bring it up, it would be too passive.
Jian Ye smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just some hearsay news, it is estimated that she heard something when she returned to General Cao's Mansion before, so she speculated and said something incoherent, the earliest time she inadvertently mentioned her aunt and grandmother, Jian Ye didn't take it to heart, and when she started talking nonsense later, she was already guessing and enjoying it, and it was a little late to want her to rein in, so she had to let herself be quiet." ”
"Auntie?" The Queen Mother frowned, and her eyes were overwhelmed.
"Yes." Jian Ye said respectfully, "It's Jiang Shiwei's biological mother." ”
"How did she know?" The Queen Mother's voice was a little hurried, could it be that the painting was done by Zhao Jiangxuan?
Rong Qingyi suddenly spoke, and her tone was calm, "It's not a big deal, Aunt Jiang was taken to General Cao's Mansion for a while, her mother passed away, because of some relatives, my uncle has been sent back to his hometown for burial after his death, and it is not good to set up a mourning hall in King Jian's Mansion for the death of his mother in a side room, so General Cao allocated a courtyard for Aunt Jiang to set up a mourning hall to commemorate his mother, probably for this reason, Aunt Jiang lived in General Cao's Mansion for a few days, and overheard some rumors about the servants in the General's Mansion, Probably because she was usually idle, she watched a lot of plays, and she was fascinated by listening to books, so she guessed that the Queen Mother didn't have to take it to heart, but occasionally mentioned a few words about the person related to the abolished prince. ”
"Is that so?" The Queen Mother ignored Rong Qingyi's words, but set her sights on Jian Ye.
Jian Ye didn't expect Rong Qingyi to speak suddenly, although there was no mistake between the words, but it was obvious that she was reducing the responsibility for Zhao Jiangxuan, and she didn't seem to be willing to put all the fault on Zhao Jiangxuan alone, in fact, Jian Ye didn't plan to cause Zhao Jiangzhuo to die, but he just wanted to tell the Empress Dowager in advance, in case Zhao Jiangzhuo really obeyed Li Yujin's instructions to see the Empress Dowager and make trouble.
"Yes." Jian Ye nodded and said respectfully, "At that time, General Cao had not passed away, because he had never been married, only one wife of the previous aunt and grandmother, and he was single-minded, and he had no children or daughters, so the servants in the general's mansion were discussing this matter in private, and some people said that the little aunt and grandmother must still be alive, because their master has always believed that his wife is not dead, and must be hiding somewhere, and firmly believes that their husband and wife have a chance to reunite." This kind of rumor, Jian Ye has also heard it, above the rivers and lakes, between the market, there are many such rumors, and it is also said that Jiang Shiwei is still alive, but he is just like a monster, that is, listen to it, when the people are idle and have nothing to do, they naturally talk about it, and with their own imagination, the more they describe it, the darker it becomes. ”
"Jiang Shiwei is indeed alive, and he is indeed a monster." The Queen Mother's face sank, and her cold tone revealed suppressed anger, "He was locked up in the prison, he actually found a stand-in and ran out to hide in the rivers and lakes, but he couldn't find it, his face could still be hidden in the rivers and lakes and the market No one found it, the mourning family was really surprised, which shows that he must have someone to help him outside!" Maybe it's Cao Tianan, a dead old man, who has always been the most infatuated with Li Yujin. ”
"Jiang Shiwei is still alive?" Jian Ye said with some surprise, "How can he escape?" That prison is the strongest in this dynasty, besides, Jian Ye has also heard his mother say that his aunt and grandmother made a big mistake and was imprisoned in the palace, and living is naturally alive, but it should also be a wasted person, could it be that Jiang Shiwei really escaped and wanted to rescue his mother? ”
"Humph!" The Queen Mother snorted in her nose, her voice was mentioned, and she said with some anger, "Jiang Shiwei can escape, Li Yujin can naturally too, Jiang Shiwei can find a substitute to lock him in the prison, do you think Li Yujin can't?" Li Yujin is Jiang Shiwei's biological mother, and she is definitely not inferior to her freak son in terms of intelligence! When the emperor was alive, she was a person who had already married a wife and even had a child - she could make the emperor move his mind, and he must make her the queen and replace the status of the mourning family, it is not impossible for her to escape from the palace, and the one who is locked in the palace is not her, and they still talked. The person the mourning family hates the most in this life is her, an unkind and unrighteous bastard! ”
Jian Ye was stunned, hesitated, and said softly: "Jian Ye heard Zhao Jiangzhuo mention this matter, and out of curiosity, he also went to the old Cao General's mansion, but unfortunately he didn't hear the minions talk about it, and then later, something happened in the old general Cao's mansion, and the old general Cao passed away suddenly, when Jian Ye and Qing Yi went to the general's mansion to pay their respects, a fire was lost in the general's mansion, some people were missing, some people were burned to death, and there were not a few of the old general Cao's cronies back then, and even the housekeeper closest to him was killed in front of the coffin. The matter was put aside, because Zhao Jiangxuan was only guessing again and again, she knew that Jian Ye's mother was the niece of the Queen Mother, and since she knew about the existence of her aunt and grandmother, she had been trying to figure out the reason for this, and she had been guessing there all day long. ”
"What else does she know?" The Queen Mother stared at Jian Ye, "What does she want to know, it's very simple, let her come to the mourning family, and the mourning family will tell her in detail one by one!" ”
Rong Qingyi immediately spoke, and said in a respectful tone: "The Queen Mother is angry, she is just curious, just moved by the story, when the minions of General Cao's Mansion mention this matter, they are naturally biased towards their own masters, and say some touching words, saying how the old general Cao and that woman were in love back then, but they were broken up by the emperor, Aunt Jiang is young, Qingyi still remembers her mother, that is, her uncle's concubine Jiang, is also a sentimental woman, who will cry when she listens to the scene, It's just that I made up some plots there to move myself. The minions of General Cao's Mansion are also numerous, so naturally they won't say something that will turn around, and going back and forth is just a hysterical idea. ”
Jian Ye had already clearly felt that Rong Qingyi didn't want Zhao Jiangxuan to really have an accident.
"You are so kind, and you have defended her again and again." The Queen Mother said slowly.
Rong Qingyi sighed and said softly: "Qingyi also doesn't like Aunt Jiang very much, but she is her uncle's daughter, Qingyi and her are also cousins, and they also know each other when they are young, I really don't want her to have an accident, if something really happens, it is just to leave King Jian's Mansion and let her fend for herself, or think that she can live a more stable life and have no worries about food and clothing, after all, her father and mother have passed away, and there are no relatives in the world." ”
The Queen Mother doesn't care about this at all, she cares more about where Li Yujin is? Who painted that painting, "Jian Ye, Zhao Jiang's calligraphy and painting are outstanding?" ”
Jian Ye shook his head, "She's just a little rougher, Jian Ye used to just like her young and beautiful, she was a likable woman, she didn't have any outstanding talents, in fact, she was stupid before, she looked at it, but now she is so bent on thinking about it that Jian Ye is bored." ”
"Then let her not appear in front of you." The Queen Mother frowned, and said bluntly, "Looking for a courtyard in King Jian's mansion, it is the will of the mourning family, let her retreat and practice, when she learns maturely and steadily, she can come out again, Rong Qingyi can be grounded for ten years, she can also, the mourning family will be the master for you, lest she delay your business, and the mourning family still has serious things to do for you to help the mourning family." ”
Jian Ye nodded, "Okay, according to the Queen Mother's wishes, find a courtyard in King Jian's mansion, and let Zhao Jiangxuan quietly and restrain his temperament." ”
"You can't be soft-hearted in this matter, Rong Qingyi is a woman in the end, with long hair and short knowledge, a woman like Zhao Jiangxuan, just like Aunt Zhou back then, your mother did a very good job, but it was also Aunt Zhou who had the support of your grandfather and grandmother, and your mother also thought out of sight and out of mind, so she chose another courtyard outside for Aunt Zhou, but you look, it seems that she can't avoid this Zhao Jiangxuan, if you let Zhao Jiangxuan stay outside, you have to send someone to watch it, so that she doesn't have to give birth to something, locked up in King Jian's Mansion, life and death are up to her, Send a few reliable, tight-mouthed, take a good look at her, do not lack her to eat or drink, read some scriptures that are restrained every day, and then release them after a few years, if you are looking for death and life during the period, life and death are decided by herself, and if she is dead, find a coffin and bury her in a random place outside the ancestral tomb of King Jian's mansion. The Queen Mother glanced at the fragrance, "After a while, you go to King Jian's Mansion to spread the meaning of the mourning family, and tell Ting'er, just say that it means the mourning family." ”
"Yes." Fragrance immediately said respectfully, "The slave will do it." ”
"Okay, don't be a female celebrity, just think nonsense there." The Queen Mother said dissatisfiedly, "The royal affairs should not be discussed in the market." ”
Jian Ye and Rong Qingyi didn't speak, they just sat quietly.
"Jian Ye, the mourning family has something for you to do." The Queen Mother glanced at Rong Qingyi, but she was talking to Jian Ye, "This matter is a matter of royal family affairs, and only when you go to the mourning family can you rest assured." ”
Rong Qingyi seemed to understand what the Queen Mother meant, straightened her back slightly, and said in a respectful tone, "Qingyi is a little uncomfortable, I want to walk around the yard, the Queen Mother is the most exotic flowers and plants here, some Qingyi have never seen it, I wonder if the Queen Mother can allow Qingyi to go to a long time?" ”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, this Rong Qingyi is so smart, she knows that at this time it is best for her to avoid it, "Go, come on, accompany Qingyi around the courtyard outside, if you have something you like, you will dig it up and give it to Qingyi." Qingyi, you can take a look casually, although there are not too many flowers and plants here in the mourning family, they are not available in King Jian's mansion. ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Rong Qingyi immediately got up and saluted, and walked out with a slave.
