Chapter 260: Explanation
Wrong? Her fault lies in her delusional belief that the emperor is reasonable.
Jiang Yu knelt down with her skirt straight, put the plain brass hand warmer aside, and bowed with her forehead on the ground: "Back to the emperor, the concubine knows her mistake." ”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu would obediently admit her mistake, and her respectful attitude was diametrically opposed to the domineering attitude at yesterday's dinner, and the little emperor was stunned for a moment.
The arguments and reprimands he had prepared were hard to say now. If you say it rashly, you will only feel that he is narrow.
"You ......"
"The emperor forgives the sin, please forgive the emperor." Jiang Wei kowtowed again and said, "Dare to ask the emperor, does the emperor know about the affairs of the British Mansion?" ”
Feeling that she was asking for credit, the little emperor sank his face, "Hmm." "Yes.
Jiang Wei explained: "The emperor's closeness at the banquet yesterday, one is when the concubine is a sister, and the other is when Qijin is a biological child. ”
In the surprised eyes of the little emperor, Jiang Wei said eloquently: "The British prince is arrogant and harmful, presumably the Hou Ye and the emperor have long had the intention to get rid of it, but they have always lacked an opportunity." In the past, the concubine also thought about assassination, even if she sacrificed herself, as long as she could get rid of this traitor, she would have no regrets, but unfortunately the concubine was afraid that she would provoke the Huo family, and yesterday the concubine saw that it was an opportunity, so she was disrespectful to the emperor, and the concubine was guilty. ”
The little emperor was skeptical: "How do you know that I won't take your life?" ”
"Although the emperor has heavenly might, he is not a ruthless and cold-faced emperor. You know the relationship between you and the Hou Ye, even if you want to punish the concubine, you will not do it immediately. And this is the best time to get your hands dirty. Hit or miss. No one will think of the concubine, and it will not bring the Huo family tired. ”
"Even if you shoot on weekdays, no one will think that you did it."
"The concubine has already dealt with the British government, and there are people outside the world, so in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, she can only take risks. Presumably, the British duke would never have imagined that a man imprisoned in a prison would have the opportunity to come out and carry out the assassination. ”
The little emperor looked at Jiang Yu for a long time, and the frowning brows that were frowning because of displeasure gradually relaxed, "I see." But yesterday, my sister was really too bold. ”
"The concubine is guilty, and she kneels here today and is at the disposal of the emperor."
Having said this, even if he was angry, how could he ignore Huo Nineteen's heart? Seeing that she did something for him last night, and avenged him, and then looked at the anxiety of Huo Jiuyi and the sins she suffered overnight, and thought about the British Duke whose life and death were unknown.
The little emperor was in a good mood.
"That's it, since the misunderstanding is clear. I'm not unreasonable. The little emperor stepped forward and personally supported Jiang Yan's arms with both hands.
Jiang Yu got up. Respectfully stepped back and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
The little emperor stood with his hands in his hands and said, "Excuse me, it's all my own family, why be so polite?" It seems that I have sent you to the prison, which really frightens you. ”
Jiang Yu took the opportunity to say: "Although I know that the emperor attaches great importance to affection, but the concubine is indeed afraid. ”
There is nothing more comforting than the submissiveness of a man who is so tough on the outside. What's more, the little emperor is a person who has often lived with low self-esteem recently.
"That's it, I don't really want to do anything to you, why should my sister be so cautious, or just reply as naturally as usual." turned around and instructed Jing Tong: "Go and prepare breakfast." ”
"Yes." Jing Tong breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully and retreated.
The little emperor sat down in the first place, and instructed Huo Shijiu and Jiang Yu: "You can sit casually, and my sister will also talk to me about what happened last night." ”
Jiang Yu omitted the part of Cao Yu going, only said that she had unlocked the lock, went to the British Mansion by flying eaves and walked to the wall, and found the room where the British Duke really stayed after some investigation, as for the assassination process, she told the truth, just shortened the overall time, and came back before the jailer made rounds.
The Emperor's mind is not something that ordinary people can understand. The little emperor was curious at this moment, who knew if he would be angry when he remembered that Cao Yu would go in and out of the prison as if he was going in and out of his own backyard.
Jiang Yu has the credit for assassinating the British duke, but she is not afraid, Cao Yu is Huo Shijiu's henchman after all, even if she has a position in the court, her heart is also towards Huo Shijiu.
The little emperor listened very carefully, even though Jiang Wei did not tell the story in great detail, but the little emperor had already outlined the process in his mind. What he imagined was far more exciting than what Jiang Yu really experienced.
Not only the little emperor, Huo Jiujiu also pinched a handful of sweat, even if Jiang Wei was now sitting safely beside him, her soft and slightly calloused hand was still in his hand, but thinking of how thrilling it was last night, Huo Jiujiu felt afraid.
If it weren't for the emperor being in front of him, Huo Shijiu would definitely say to Jiang Yu: "You are not allowed to take such a risk in the future." ”
"So according to my sister, there is a chance that the British prince will lose his life?"
Jiang Yan shook her head and said: "I didn't succeed in the first two times, I have already alarmed the guards outside, I don't dare to fight, and in the midst of anger, I will think of attacking him, I didn't expect to really succeed, but he should have lost a lot of blood, even if he doesn't die, he will go to half his life." In the future, if you survive, you will no longer be a sound person. ”
Huo Jiujiu lowered his eyelashes, and a word suddenly appeared in his heart: "Cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant." ”
The little emperor was overjoyed, stroked his palms and smiled: "Retribution, retribution!" He has it today, too! Jing Tong, tell the imperial dining room to bring me hot wine! ”
"Your Majesty." Without waiting for Jing Tong to pass the word, Huo Shijiu had already gently persuaded him: "The emperor was afraid that he didn't rest yesterday, and he was afraid that eating wine would damage the dragon's body, so it would be better to eat and rest later, and this wine will be eaten by the emperor on another day." ”
The little emperor and Huo 19 have cooperated sincerely for many years, so they naturally have a tacit understanding, and Huo 19 doesn't need to explain that he also understands what he means.
Wouldn't it be too much to learn that the British Duke had been assassinated, and if he had eaten and celebrated with wine?
Huo Nineteen had taught him that anything, even after the dust settled, he had to be careful to prevent accidents, not to mention that there was no definite information yet.
The little emperor bowed his head and said, "What Brother Ying said is true." Eating wine at this time may not be beneficial to the body, or that's it. ”
The meals prepared in the dining room are of course the best. The little emperor is in a good mood. Appetite is very happy. Huo Nineteen Shao moved a little with him. During this period, he has been observing Jiang Yu without a trace.
Jiang Yu was sure that she must have caught a cold at this time, not to mention her nasal congestion, her throat was also stinging when swallowing, she had no appetite, and she stopped moving chopsticks after using a small bowl of japonica rice porridge.
After rinsing their mouths with rice, Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu were about to leave. The little emperor sent the two to the palace gate: "Brother Ying and sister didn't sleep well yesterday, so let's go back and make up for sleep now." ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Huo Shijiu pulled Jiang Yu to salute again for a few more weeks before boarding the carriage.
The little emperor returned to the palace. Immediately called Jing Tong in and asked, "You just went out to investigate the British Mansion, what's going on?" ”
Jing Tongdao: "There is no news from Grandpa Guo, but it is not very good." ”
"Not so good?" The little emperor snorted coldly: "If such a strict knife can't kill him, wouldn't it be too undeserved." "As a person who is good at spying and assassination, it would be a shame to miss this time.
Jing Tong observed his words and looks, and knew that the little emperor was dissatisfied with Jiang Yan's failure to kill him with a knife, so he naturally didn't dare to say more, and buried his head very low.
On the carriage to Huo's mansion, Jiang Wei lazily leaned on Huo Shijiu's shoulder and handed over half of the weight of her body to him.
Huo Nineteen hugged her fragrant shoulder. Wrapping her in his big coat, he sighed, "You're too impulsive, too. The next time you are not allowed to do this kind of thing, it is plain to worry people, do you know how worried your father and mother are when you are arrested? ”
"Is it just my father and mother who are worried about me?" Jiang Yan's voice was lazy and hoarse.
Pity her for being cold in prison all night, Huo Shijiu's brows were furrowed: "It's all like this, you still have the heart to joke." When I return home, I will definitely call the imperial doctor to come and show you and prescribe a few of the most bitter medicines for you. ”
He was obviously nervous about her body, and he wanted to give a stern lecture, but his tone was like a father educating his children, Jiang Wei was funny when she heard it, and she also knew that her way of doing it really hurt the family's worries, so she obediently shrank in Huo Shijiu's arms.
The carriage shook slightly, and her body warmed up again, Huo Shijiu's embrace made her feel very relaxed and comfortable, coupled with the exhaustion of the night, Jiang Yu fell asleep after a while.
Huo Jiujiu moved his body out of a position where she could lie down comfortably, and shook his head helplessly, he really didn't know what to do with her.
If she wanted to be like an ordinary woman, a little more cowardly, hiding behind his back, and leaving everything to him to deal with, his heart would definitely feel better, even if he was tired to death, at least he didn't have to worry about her.
But she's just doing this to bear all the tough character. He loves this kind of personality alone.
Thinking of her mood when she was just taken away yesterday, Huo Shijiu's lips pursed into a straight line.
The little emperor has passed the test for the time being. But since yesterday's events have happened, the estrangement has actually arisen. Jiang Yu is completely for him. The little emperor has his own mind.
He already knew the condition of the little emperor's body, and if the little emperor's affairs were exposed in the future, things would definitely be even worse.
Huo Shijiu only felt that his head was as big as a bean.
The little emperor who was addicted to drugs has not quit yet, and now he has this hidden disease that cannot be declared. You must know that as an emperor, it is extremely important to extend the succession, otherwise it means that the imperial court is unstable.
What should he do to help the little emperor get through this?
Could it be that only being clasped on the head without hesitation by this green cloud hooded hat is helping?
The carriage came to a slow stop. Jiang Yan was awakened by a slight shaking. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "We're home." ”
When he got home, Huo Jiu's heart was soft and rippling, and he hugged her and said, "You are tired, I will carry you in." ”
Jiang Yu straightened her waist and left his embrace, and said angrily: "I'm fine, what do you want to hug in, so that your father and mother will know what it looks like." ”
Huo Shijiu wanted to catch the person back in his arms, but Jiang Yu was not a delicate flower that he could easily get, even if he hadn't slept all night, he still had a little wind chill at this moment, and he still jumped out of the carriage lightly.
Huo Shijiu had no choice but to follow and chase after her to put his big coat on her.
The boys guarding the door and the servants they met on the road all lowered their heads and retreated, and the Hou Ye's love for his wife was almost gone.
Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu went back to the upper room directly.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw the Tang family and the Zhao family, all of whom were already standing under the porch.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Jiang Yan, she was still as light and fast as before when she walked, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"You girl!" Zhao Shi took three or two steps down from Danqi: "Are you trying to scare your mother to death?" ”
Jiang Yu smiled apologetically and saluted the Zhao family and the Tang family: "Let the mother worry, is it the concubine." ”
Tang folded his palms together and bowed to the sky a few times, chanted words in his mouth, thanked the gods and Buddhas, and when he looked at Jiang Yan, his eyes sharpened: "You stinky girl, come in and talk to me!" ”
How many years has Jiang Yan not seen Tang Shi angry with her like this? It can be seen that this time it really provokes people.
She is also a mother now, and when she thinks about it, if Qijin does such a thing that will kill in the eyes of people in the future, she is afraid that she will go crazy.
Jiang Yu smiled apologetically at Zhao.
Zhao naturally understood her apology, patted the back of her hand and said, "Go and talk to your mother, she is the most urgent one this night." ”
Even Jiang Xuewen went to beg, and Tang's anxiety was visible.
Jiang Yu felt even more guilty and obediently went to Danqi.
Tang and Huo Shijiu thoughtfully did not follow in.
Huo Nineteen asked in a low voice, "Mother, where is my father?" ”
"He was scratching his heart and liver, and he really couldn't sit still in the house, so he went to the back to dig pig manure."
"Dad is really, now with such an identity, this kind of work is still done by himself."
"You can go to him if you want." Zhao smiled narrowly.
The corners of Huo Jiu's mouth twitched: "Mother, let's go and sit in front." "If you go, you'll get caught working hard, he's allergic to the pigsty.
When Zhao and Huo Nineteen went to rest in the main room in front, Jiang Yu had already followed Tang into the inner room.
Tang coaxed to sit on the kang and slapped it on the kang table: "You kneel." ”
"Don't be angry, my daughter knows it's wrong." Jiang Yu knelt down as she said, bowed her head and obediently admitted her mistake.
"You're getting bolder and bigger, why didn't my mother see it before, you still dare to commit it blatantly, do you know. If the emperor really blames him, the crime he has committed is enough for your husband's family to pull out and behead them one by one. Even if you don't care about your father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle, sister-in-law, or your husband, you have to think about you and your son! People say that motherhood is strong, you, as a mother, use all the strength outside, don't you want to think about how to make your son live smoothly and comfortably! ”
Jiang Yu was ashamed of what she said, at that time she was indeed sure that the emperor would not dare to do anything to them, but now she is thinking about it, but she feels afraid.
What if she guessed wrong?
Jiang Yu kowtowed respectfully and said, "Mother, my daughter knows that she is wrong." ”
Tang felt sorry for his daughter who had been frozen overnight in the prison, where could he bear to reprimand him more? He sighed and said, "That's it, you get up quickly, and call a doctor to show you later." ”
"Where's seven pounds?"
"You still know how to think about seven pounds. Seven catties of nurses are taking it. (To be continued......)
