Chapter 113: Counting is Counting
A group of about ten light horsemen, galloping at a very fast speed, on the official road outside Changping City, rushed towards the place where the Guanyin Temple was located.
And this team of centaurs, at the forefront, is naturally Huai'an waiting for Qian Ming, and beside him, Ji Lingfeng is also riding a snow-white horse and going together.
Standing on horseback, Huai Anhou turned his head to look, and after coming out of Prince Tai's mansion, Ji Lingfeng, who didn't say a word, couldn't help but snort mockingly.
"I said Ji Gongzi, since you and I look at each other and hate each other, why do you want to go with this candidate, don't forget that this October is a triennial scientific examination, I think you should continue to nest in the palace, immerse yourself in hard study, the name of the province will fall to Sun Mountain, be disgusted by the prince, and be swept out of the house at that time, don't say that this candidate has not reminded you."
Hearing this, Ji Lingfeng was not annoyed, he was not from a high background, he was not as good as Huai'an waiting for these family members, when he became an adult, he could inherit the title, and if he wanted to gain power, he had to work harder than others, step by step from the bottom, and start to climb up.
Therefore, the triennial scientific examination has become a child of a poor family, and Ji Lingfeng will naturally not miss the best opportunity.
Therefore, as soon as he came back from Yangzhou, he explained the things in hand clearly, and immediately showed Zhou Xiantai, and began to ignore the things outside the window, and only read the sage books.
And this time, if it weren't for Huai'an Hou catching the handle of the prince, it was a matter of the battle for the storage position, Zhou Xiantai would not have been alarmed to discuss the big strategy with him.
Therefore, Ji Lingfeng only slowly learned about all the things in the past few months in Jingshi, and the fact that Xiao Jinxuan had come to Changping was what he was most shocked about.
Mainly when he was in Yangzhou, the other party's performance left a deep impression on Ji Lingfeng, so almost from the beginning of his new takeover, the intelligence inside and outside the palace, he ordered people to pay attention to Xiao Jinxuan's movements.
Therefore, Ji Lingfeng knew very well that Xiao Jinxuan was now in Guanyin Academy, and the news that Shi Cai's Yang was in danger was also spread from Guanyin Academy, somehow, there was a panic in his heart for no reason, and he always felt that all this was too coincidental.
Huai'an waited for the witness, and became the person with the highest chips today, and the next moment, Princess Huayang had an accident, and the news was not delayed for half a moment, and it immediately reached Qian Ming's hands.
If it weren't for the letter, which was confirmed by Huai Anhou, it was indeed written by his son Qian Yunhong, Ji Lingfeng even felt that this was Xiao Jinxuan's delaying tactic at all, in order to delay the prince's party.
After all, when he was in Yangzhou, the relationship between Xiao Jinxuan and King Rui was extremely close, and after his investigation, not long ago, Zhou Xianrui also helped and rescued Xiao Jinxuan from Huayang's hands, so he dared to conclude that these two people were afraid that they had returned to Beijing, and they had never broken off with each other.
Thinking of Zhou Xianrui's identity, now with Xiao Jinxuan's strategy, Ji Lingfeng felt extremely headache, so out of caution, this Guanyin Academy, he must also personally accompany Qian Ming to go to the last time, in order to ensure that this Huai'an is foolproof, after all, now, the witness who corrects the prince is in Qian Ming's hands, if something happens to him, how can this witness come to Beijing.
Therefore, Ji Lingfeng didn't hear Qian Ming's sarcasm, squinted his eyes slightly, and continued not to say a word, just hurry.
In the Guanyin Courtyard, Xiao Jinxuan, who was about to visit the deceased, was now by the old lady's side, watching the doctor diagnose and treat Princess Huayang's head injury.
Now in the Guanyin Courtyard, although Xiangping's identity is the most valuable, but when it comes to seniority, it is naturally the old lady who is more virtuous and respectful, so now everything is also the old lady presiding over the overall situation.
Huayang's injury is not light, and the old lady naturally wants to visit in person to inquire about the condition, so she is now sitting in Huayang's room, waiting quietly, what result will be given by Lang Zhong, who diagnoses the patient
And Xiao Jinyu, who has always been by the old lady's side, went back to rest early because she fell into the pool yesterday and suffered from the cold, so now, she has become Xiao Jinxuan serving on the side, and staying with the old lady like this is also the first time for her.
was invited by Qian Yunhong, Lang Zhong surnamed Meng from the mountain, and he was also quite famous for his medical skills in this area, so he saw him visit the kung fu of half a pillar of incense, and helped Huayang to bandage the wound on his head, so he stood up respectfully.
He bowed to the old lady and said a blessing, and then said softly:
"This lady is fine, but her head was bumped badly and she lost too much blood, which caused me to be unable to wake up for a long time.
Qian Yunhong, who was standing on the side, heard this, his eyes flashed, and his face immediately showed a happy expression.
"In this way, there is Dr. Lao Meng, what medicine is needed, you can write it now, and I will personally grab the medicine for my mother and make soup in a while."
When the old lady heard this, she looked at Qian Yunhong and nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the other party was filial, and it was not a good choice to entrust Xiao Jinyu to this person.
In order to bring the relationship between the Xiao Qian family closer, the old lady immediately ordered: "Jin Chuan, you will call the second lady and Ke'er in a while, and come over to serve Princess Huayang, they are all a family, and it is more convenient to take care of them." ”
Because of the sneaky thing, the Qian family made a big mistake, even if the ban is lifted now, but the old lady is far from being close to her in the past, this time to Guanyin, if you don't bring the Qian family, for fear that outsiders will say that the old lady is not ready to take the other party out.
And after arriving at the Guanyin Temple, the old lady also let the Qian mother and daughter, chanting and worshipping the Buddha, not allowed to go out of the meditation room for half a step, and now in order to have a good relationship with the Qian family, it is obvious that the attitude towards the second daughter-in-law has changed a lot.
Seeing that Jin Chuan went to invite the Qian family according to his words, the old lady's eyes looked at Xiao Jinxuan again
"Four girls, you will go out with the little marquis in a while, your sister Yu is sick, you can decoct the medicine for Her Royal Highness the princess for her, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the elders."
The old lady's words are quite beautiful, the drudgery is called Xiao Jinxuan's work, but the good reputation has been taken for Xiao Jinyu, this heart really can't be more biased.
But when Xiao Jinxuan heard this, her expression remained unchanged, and she bowed extremely obediently, and then left the room.
After walking out of the room, Xiao Jinxuan did not leave directly, but turned around and hid in a hidden gap in the courtyard.
didn't wait long, the sound of the door ringing came into Xiao Jinxuan's ears, and then Qian Yunhong's figure quickly appeared in front of her.
"Miss Jinxuan really didn't leave, but she hid so secretly, Yun Hong almost didn't find you."
Because this gap is very narrow, in order to avoid being discovered, so now the two of them are very close to each other, Qian Yunhong can even smell the fragrance of plum blossoms on Xiao Jinxuan's body, and a feeling of relaxation and joy quickly spreads on him.
Xiao Jinxuan had a lot of things to think about, so she didn't find Qian Yunhong's abnormality. Just smiled faintly.
"The little marquis is good at martial arts, Jinxuan is afraid that she is hiding and being careful, and it is not difficult for you to find out, and the reason why I want to stay is just to advise the little marquis, don't act rashly and do something in your stepmother's decoction."
Qian Yunhong, who was originally immersed in the fragrance of his daughter's flowers, stiffened when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Jinxuan in disbelief.
"How do you know that I plan to poison Huayang with medicine, my stepmother is also fateful, and the whole Buddha statue can't kill her, Miss Jinxuan, you promised me that you would put Huayang to death, and now that the opportunity is in front of you, are you afraid."
Shaking her head, Xiao Jinxuan raised her head, her eyes calm.
"Why did the little marquis think I was afraid, you know, compared to you, I am more eager to hope that Huayang will die soon, but if you poison the decoction, the means are too low, and the probability of being found is also very high, and the investigation will not be able to withstand the investigation afterwards, although Huayang was not stoned to death this time, but first the lamp appeared the snake shadow, and then Guanyin fell to the ground, and now your stepmother can be regarded as an ominous symbol, instead of poisoning her, it is better to use rumors to force her to death, so a good way to kill people invisibly, I don't know what the little Hou Ye wants."
I have to say that Xiao Jinxuan is now more sophisticated in manipulating people's hearts than before, and she can always say what can be thought of but cannot be reached in the hearts of others, so as to make use of it.
Just like now, she knew that Qian Yunhong, even if she took risks, she would get rid of Princess Huayang, so she proposed a relatively more secure idea, which seemed to be planning for the other party on the surface, but in fact, all this was just her other plan.
You must know that if Huayang is injured, Huai Anhou will inevitably come to visit in person, but if Huayang dies, as a princess, the body must be transported back to the city as soon as possible, so how will Xiao Jinxuan transfer Qian Ming to Guanyin Academy.
But she can't tell Qian Yunhong about all this, the two of them are just using each other, so when Xiao Jinxuan found Qian Yunhong in the room just now, when she heard the glimmer of light flashing in her eyes after Huayang was unhindered, she knew that the other party was bound to assassinate her, but this would ruin her big deal.
That's why she waited here, in order to appease Qian Yunhong and tell the other party not to act rashly and ruin her good deeds.
And after Qian Yunhong heard Xiao Jinxuan's suggestion, he really made up his mind, and he didn't plan to take risks and poison Huayang.
But then, he asked very curiously: "Speaking of stepmother, being regarded as ominous is really Miss Jinxuan's handiwork, in fact, I am also very curious now, why did the everlasting lamp you gave me turn into a snake shadow, could it be that Miss Jinxuan will not be able to do strange Taoism." ”
When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she didn't intend to hide anything.
"It's just a thaumaturgy in the rivers and lakes, it's all a trick to deceive people, but it's not some Taoist immortal art, which makes the little marquis laugh."
Since that day under the old locust tree, the two of them had a long talk, and formed a joint trend, Qian Yunhong to show sincerity, personally told each other, this Guanyin meeting, the Qian family is so active, it is indeed the layout to assassinate Xiao Jinxuan, and this hand and foot move on the Guanyin.
Then, Qian Yunhong said that he would find a way to break this bureau privately without arousing Huayang's vigilance, but he didn't want to be stopped by Xiao Jinxuan.
Xiao Jinxuan not only did not allow him to destroy it, but also planned it, and directly used this layout on Huayang's body, and this also led to the fact that the Guanyin statue that was originally going to be smashed at her was all greeted by Huayang's body.
And the snake shadow was conjured before, the intention was to fall to the ground with the Guanyin statue afterwards, to echo from beginning to end, and to sit on the Huayang to offend the gods and attract the ominous name of the vision.
As for how the snake shadow was formed, it was thanks to Qingyunzi's ancient book called Xuanhuang thaumaturgy.
