Chapter Fifty-Eight: One Stone Stirs Up - A Thousand Waves
Ji Qian was angry, and when the Liu family on the side saw the situation, she naturally knew it, and she was afraid that the matter would get bigger, so she persuaded softly: "Master, let's dissipate the anger, the children are not up to their fathers and mothers when they are older, just don't have this daughter."
But if you are an ordinary small family, it is better to say that the prime minister's mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also one of the top wealthy mansions in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and now that such a thing has happened, if it is rumored to go out, where will your old face go. The more Ji Qian thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and swept the teacups and teapots full of tables to the ground, splashing tea everywhere, which shocked the little maids guarding the door. Liu couldn't persuade him, so he had to go out and whisper to the little maid. The maid took the order and left, and Liu Shi brushed the tea splashed on his body with Luopa in his hand, sorted out his emotions and turned in and whispered softly to Ji Qian.
The Liu family was persuading here, and the little maid came to report, "Aunt Xia is here." Ji Qian immediately shouted: "Come in!"
Looking at the Xia family's delicate little face is already thinner, his face is haggard, a pair of Danfeng eyes are swollen like peach pits, and there are tear stains on his face, it is obvious that he has just cried, and he can't help but feel pity when he looks at it. And at this time, in Ji Qian's eyes, he was extremely disgusted, and said hatefully: "The good daughter you taught, tell me where you are hiding people, let her come out by herself, if I find her, I will definitely peel her skin."
Although this Xia family was not as favored as the Liu family in the past, he had never been so wronged, and he was even frightened, and he immediately cried breathlessly.
Ji Qian looked at its shape, sighed, his anger subsided a little, and waved his hand to let his subordinates take him out. Only then did the Liu family put his mind at ease, and he was secretly glad that he had found the Xia family to cry like this, otherwise he wouldn't know how to stop today.
When Xia went out, Ji Qian sat down for a while, and finally became very depressed and went out in a daze. The little maid came in to clean up, but Liu sat down at the table with a frown, and said after a while: "Go to Ruiwang's Mansion to pick up the eldest lady back, just say that I am not feeling well, let me come back and talk with me."
King Rui's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are not far away, and Ji Ran heard that his mother was unwell, so he only asked the prince to come back and take a carriage back to his parents' house. When she entered the door and saw that Liu's family was safe and sound, Miss Jiao's temper immediately came up, and she jumped to her feet and said: "Since my mother has nothing to do, why should I ask the child to come back, people specially cooked the bird's nest porridge you taught me to the prince today, and seeing that the prince came back immediately, he was called over by your old man."
Liu Shi said angrily: "You can't do anything, when will I be able to save a snack for my mother, your father has sent an additional family to find Xue'er, if my guess is right, Rui Wangfu must be looking for that slut, you are still in the mood to have fun, it is really my mother who has indulged you with no heart and lungs."
Ji Ran didn't think about it and said: "Mother thinks too much, Xue'er has been left in Heishuiya for a few days, even if she is not eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards, she will have to freeze to death and starve to death."
Listening to what Ji Ran said, Liu Shi pondered for a moment, and then said: "I still think it is necessary to send someone to take a look again, and it is good to see the corpse, otherwise if you miscalculate for a while, there will be endless troubles."
Ji Ran stood up impatiently, held Liu's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Everything but according to my mother's arrangement, Ran Er really has something to do, so I won't accompany your old man." After speaking, he went out and went back to King Rui's mansion. Seeing that the Liu family is mixed, if she doesn't have her own support behind her, how can she gain a foothold in the Rui Wangfu.
King Rui pushed off all official business today, and personally searched for the places where Ji Xueer might go, but there was no trace of it. The person who was sent to the Xiangfu to investigate had also returned, and the report said, "Xiangye is also looking for Ji Xue'er," so it seems that Xue'er's disappearance was not Ji Qian's doing. And Ji Xue'er is just a weak woman in the boudoir, and she is pregnant with Liujia, where else can she go. At this time, the more I thought about it, the more confused my heart became, and I crumpled the books in my hand, and the green tendons on my temples jumped.
King Rui's study is used as a place to deal with official business, and concubines are generally not allowed to enter. And King Rui has not been to the plum garden for a few days, because Concubine Mei heard that the prince was back, so she hurried over but did not dare to go in, only lingered outside the door, just waiting for the opportunity to meet.
Ji Ran returned to the palace, took the bird's nest porridge that had been stewed early, carried it by the little maid, and walked to the study after dressing up carefully. When I went to the study to meet Concubine Mei, Concubine Mei bowed slightly and said, "My sister brought this food today, but she wants to go to visit the prince?"
Seeing that Concubine Mei was wearing a red fox fur cloak, and the white fur on the side was cute, Ji Ran couldn't help but feel that the light green cloak on her body was a lot colder, and thought about Su Ri's neglect because of Concubine Mei's own coldness, and said unhappily: "This princess is the main concubine of this Rui Palace, so she naturally has to take care of the prince, unlike some people who know all day long to think of some fancy ideas to please others, and they don't cherish it." After speaking, she looked at Concubine Mei, who was a little embarrassed, with a cold eye, and walked towards the study with her head raised.
Concubine Mei sneered a few times, she wanted to persuade Ji Ran not to go to the study rashly, but she was ridiculed by him, and she just waited to see her good show.
King Rui was thinking about all kinds of conjectures, and when he looked up, he didn't expect to see Ji Ran coming in, and his face was actually a little bit of Ji Xue'er's shadow, but he was stunned. At this time, Ji Ran had already taken the bird's nest porridge in the maid's hand and held it personally, seeing that King Rui was fascinated by him, he was so unhappy, and his shy face was like a flower, adding a bit of charm. Brought the bird's nest to King Heng and said: "The prince has worked hard all day, and the concubine specially cooked the bird's nest porridge with her own hands, can you taste it?"
King Rui didn't hear anything about his words, reached out and put the bird's nest porridge on the table, and took Ji Ran's little hand to look at it. Ji Ran sat in King Rui's arms half-pushed and half-agreed, and the two were grinding together, when they suddenly heard the guards outside the door report something important.
Ji Ran was still indulging in joy, but King Rui suddenly came back to his senses and pushed him out, and said coldly: "Go down, you are not allowed to come back to the study without my summons in the future."
The sudden change made Ji Ranru, who was still full of tenderness just now, pour a basin of cold water on her head, and she didn't dare to attack, only tears swirled in her eyes, and she turned around and ran out angrily. The little maid saw that the master was crying and ran away, so she had to chase after her. How did I know that Concubine Mei was still standing outside the courtyard, looking like she was in a good time, Ji Ran hurriedly wiped away her tears and raised her chin even higher. When passing by his side, he only heard Concubine Mei smile and said: "This Rui Wangfu is not as good as your Prime Minister's Mansion, so you have to be a young lady to go wild, it's really boring to be self-deprecating." After speaking, he walked away, leaving only Ji Ran standing in place, already so angry that his face turned purple.
Sent Ji Ran away, the guards only entered the room to report today's investigation, it turned out that the guards in the palace had only been looking for it in Beijing in recent days, but there was no clue. I had to pull the net open, and groped around the capital one by one, and today I happened to ask a hunter, and I learned from him that a few days ago, there was a carriage that seemed to be an official family heading in the direction of Heishuiya. Because the surrounding area is very desolate, this person remembers it very clearly.
Several guards followed the hunter's instructions and searched all the way, and found a woman's pearl hairpin near Heishuiya, and took it back. King Rui held the pearl hairpin and looked at it for a long time, it was a little familiar, but he was not very sure, but his heart was already much colder. instructed everyone to retreat, no longer find out Ji Xue'er's whereabouts, just that the child had nothing to do with him.
King Rui has now lost his own children, and has lost the internal response of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is somewhat depressed, so he has not gone to the court for two days at home because he is sick.
Ling'er was examining Ji Xue'er's body, only to feel that her body seemed to move, and when she looked closely, she slowly opened her eyes.
After that toss, Ji Xue'er fell asleep for several days, and when she saw the situation in front of her clearly, she hurriedly touched her stomach. Ling'er said lightly: "The fetus is fine, you don't have to worry about it, just take good care of your body."
Seeing that Ling'er's expression was not malicious, Ji Xue'er was relieved: "It was my sister who saved Xue'er, and I thanked my sister for the child in my womb."
Ling'er didn't care, and asked: "This is my medical hall, you have been asleep here for a few days, if you want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately, I will find someone to send you back, what do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Xue'er shook her head in horror and hurriedly, almost wanted to sit up, tried several times but failed to do so, and said weakly: "Sister, you must not send your sister into the tiger's mouth again," After speaking, tears were already flowing silently.
Ling'er looked sad and asked, "You have to tell me what happened, otherwise I won't be able to help you, and you know that I'm not a nosy person?"
So far, only the person in front of him can help herself, Ji Xue'er thought for a moment, and said quietly: "The child in my womb is His Royal Highness King Rui, he originally promised to marry me, and he will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage in a few days, but for some reason Ji Ran knew about it, so she and the Liu family designed to trick me outside, making people faint me, and I don't know the rest of the things."
What a stupid woman, Ling'er looked at Ji Xue'er in front of her helplessly, and sighed: "Then what are you going to do next, if you can't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, why don't I help you inform King Rui?"
"No, Rui Wang Ben used her as a chess piece, she disappeared this time, and no one in Rui Wang's Mansion went out to look for it, so it can be seen that he doesn't care about this mother and son," Mu Chenfeng came in from outside at some point.
Ji Xue'er was very happy when she heard that Ling'er was willing to go to King Rui for herself, and when she saw Mu Chenfeng say this, she was very sad in her heart, and said strongly: "I don't believe it, he has always been very good to me, how can he be so affectionate?"
Ling'er said disdainfully: "The man is probably like this, he originally used you as an eyeliner to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now you have no effect, even if he is looking for you, it is for the child in your womb, where is the affection between you, not to mention that now I am too lazy to look for it." These words are also out of Ling'er's disgust for King Rui, who knew that this chat would make a woman live in hatred for the rest of her life.
After listening to Ling'er's words, Ji Xue'er just lay quietly and no longer had any words. Seeing this, Ling'er turned around and walked out of the house with Mu Chenfeng.
Ling'er turned to Mu Chenfeng and said, "Xue'er is always here for a long time, besides, she is about to give birth, you had better choose a hidden place to send people to be settled."
Mu Chenfeng snorted lightly: "She is your sister, I will only save her for the sake of your affection, I don't bother to care about the next things, Rui Wangfu and Xiangfu are not provoked by my Xunyinlou."
Seeing that Mu Chenfeng had no sympathy, he was so angry that he opened his eyes angrily, poked Mu Chenfeng's chest with his hand and said, "You cold-blooded thing, don't be caught by me one day, if there is such a day, see if I can spare you?" After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Mu Chenfeng stunned in place.
Ling'er gritted her teeth as she said, but Mu Chenfeng was shocked, and said in her heart: "People say that the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart, even if this girl doesn't deliberately find fault, she can come up with a ghost idea that makes people can't survive and die, and now if you really hate yourself because of this, then you can't live in fear every day." After thinking about it, he hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "I was talking about playing just now, how could I, Young Master Mu, be such a sympathetic person?"
Ling'er listened to his shouts, Fang stopped, and glanced at the people behind him obliquely, his eyes were full of smirks of "I knew it was now, why bother just now".
