Chapter Twenty-Five: Qiao's Family Gathers
This is the first time Qiao Yanran has seen her family after the fall of Beiyan, but it is not in Qiao's house, at this time, returning to Qiao's house is simply self-defeating.
But they still saw it in the end, all thanks to the mysterious and complicated secret passage under the Qiao family, which also gave Qiao Yuzhi a new understanding of the forces of the old dynasty.
"Girl!"
The moment he saw Qiao Yanran, Old Man Qiao exclaimed, his tone was full of sadness, and this voice also attracted Qiao Yuzhi's attention.
This is a mysterious courtyard, Qiao Yuzhi doesn't know where it is, but it doesn't look simple. As his grandfather entered the room, he saw a table of eight immortals made of pear blossom wood, and some pastries and tea were placed on the table.
Before he could take a closer look, he and his grandfather walked around the screen to the bed.
On the bed lay a strange but very familiar person!
At this time, Qiao Yanran had already changed out of her bloody clothes, but after being tortured for a long time, there was no trace of blood on her face, and her eyes were a little trance.
Luo Ci was holding a bowl of medicine to feed her in his hand, and when he saw someone from the Qiao family coming, he got up and got out of the way.
"Girl!" Old Man Qiao's hands were already trembling, and he wanted to touch Qiao Yanran, but he was afraid of scaring her.
This call finally made Qiao Yanran notice, looking at the white-haired old man in front of her, she couldn't hold back after all, and burst into tears: "Grandpa! ”
This call is full of the little daughter's coquettishness and grievances!
Just when they hugged their heads and cried, Luo Ci didn't feel good in his heart. Over the years, no matter what, there are always some people around me, and Qingzao is not lonely, even if it is Luo Shize, who has been raised by Sima Shenyi for so long, he has also given birth to some unusual friendships, only Qiao Yanran is fighting alone.
For so many years, as soon as she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by people who wanted to calculate her, but in the end, this matter had nothing to do with her!
Seeing this, Luo Ci couldn't bear to disturb them, so he handed the medicine in his hand to Qiao Yuzhi and quietly walked out of the door. The moment she stepped out of the door, Qiao Yanran stopped her.
"Ao, where are you going?"
Hearing this, Luo Ci almost couldn't hold back, and hurriedly walked out of the room after only replying to deal with some things.
After so many years, she is still like this, desperately pulling herself into Qiao's house, just to make her no longer so lonely!
In the room, Old Man Qiao looked at Qiao Yanran, and then hurriedly turned around and called Qiao Yuzhi: "Come and see your sister!" ”
"It's ...... Given? Qiao Yanran was stunned for a moment, since she entered the palace, in order to show her heart, and in order to avoid the Qiao family from attracting attention, she has never contacted the Qiao family, and she has not even asked anyone to inquire about any news about the Qiao family, all the things she knows about the Qiao family were brought in by Yiying when she entered the palace, and there are very few.
"I've seen my sister!" Qiao Yuzhi handed the medicine in his hand to his grandfather, bowed and saluted, then looked at the woman and sighed slightly: "My sister is suffering!" ”
Qiao Yanran was very happy, and leaned out to pull Qiao Yuzhi's hand, Qiao Yuzhi saw this situation and took a step forward to support Qiao Yanran.
"It's all so big!" Qiao Yanran's eyes were full of joy and pride.
If you want to say what Qiao Yuzhi's reflection is on her sister, before they met, Qiao Yuzhi always thought that this was a crazy woman, crazy and persistent. But after meeting, he suddenly found that this was just an ordinary woman, so weak that she needed to be cared for.
Here, Qiao's family is very happy, but it is different in the palace.
Lin Chen'an threw the things in his hand on the ground, and felt angry, and swept everything on the table to the ground.
"Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! Lin Chenan casually picked up something and threw it at the kneeling person, who didn't dodge or dodge, and hit him squarely.
"It's a subordinate who has failed, please punish Your Majesty!" The voice was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Raise your head!"
It was a masked face, and Lin Chen'an wanted to scold him by name, but unfortunately, this person had no name, only a cold code name - Shadow!
"Are you sure it's Luo Ci's own hand?" Lin Chenan was a little incredulous, after many years, this was the first time he heard the news of the eldest princess, they had fought each other, although they didn't want to admit it, but Lin Chenan had to say that she was not her opponent, even if she joined forces with her mother, they couldn't get any benefits.
It's just that for so many years, Lin Chen'an has always thought that that woman doesn't care about these things, otherwise Beiyan back then would not have perished at all.
"Subordinates are sure!"
I have to say that this is Lin Chenan's biggest mistake, he has kept Qiao Yanran by his side for so many years, but he never knows why she stayed, she thought that she just wanted to keep the old dynasty, but now it seems that it is for another woman, if it is not for that person to care, I am afraid that this country is not worth mentioning in Qiao Yanran's eyes!
"What's going on in the Qiao family?"
"Nothing happens!" The shadow replied, "I'm afraid I don't know about it." ”
Back then, the Qiao family was wiped out, and only one couple was willing to stay behind to take care of the Qiao family, one old and one young, and that couple was the one who was arranged by the shadow.
"Send more people, and as soon as there is news, report immediately!" Lin Chen'an was a little impatient and waved him to step back.
"Ah Qi!" Lin Chenan thought about it alone and shouted.
There was an instant figure outside the door.
"Go and clean up the Jiaofang Palace!"
The shadow was gone.
In fact, Ah Qi was a little apprehensive in his heart. The matter of Jiaofang Palace, that person has been walking around him, he doubted more than once, whether he was exposed, on the day of the accident, he wanted to sneak into Jiaofang Hall in person, but he always felt that something was wrong, not long after the accident, Shuge came with news, so that he completely stood by.
In the entire palace, only Xiao Jiu could sneak in by chance, but that was only a few days ago, and later, Xiao Jiu mysteriously disappeared.
This made Ah Qi even more worried!
In order to protect himself, he didn't even dare to ask a word about Jiaofang Palace, and he didn't know where he had come today.
The moment Ah Qi stepped into the Jiaofang Palace, the smell almost didn't make him spit it out, and he personally instructed his subordinates to clean up, little by little, without taking half a step, lest someone notice anything.
Finally, when he reached the dormitory, he stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and bowed.
"Queen Mother, my subordinates are ordered to tidy up the Jiaofang Palace!"
The room was quiet!
Ah Qi suddenly thought that the traces of the fight along the way might not have come from that night, and he glanced at his subordinates, and he raised his voice again: "Niangniang, your subordinates are offended!" ”
Reach out and open the hidden door!
The dormitory is empty!
"Go back to Your Majesty!" Ah Qi instructed his subordinates to lead people into the dormitory to search.
On the other side, there was also one more person in front of Lin Chenan's desk, and that was Grandpa Zou.
"So, this matter really has nothing to do with him?" Lin Chenan touched his chin, could it really be that he misunderstood?
"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates don't dare to judge themselves, but it seems that he really doesn't know." Zou Gonggong bowed in response.
"Alright, let's go down!" Lin Chen'an let out a sigh of relief, put down a big stone in his heart, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, after so many years, his courage has become smaller and smaller.
And where none of them knows, there is also an unexpected interrogation.
"You don't have to be so hard-mouthed!" Concubine Gao sat on the chair and smiled gently: "This palace has governed the harem for many years, and some of the means are that it doesn't need to be on you, but it's just that I'm afraid of hurting my own people and making me embarrassed." ”
Looking at the person on the ground again, it was the missing Xiao Jiu. At this time, her hair was all messed up, and she could tell at a glance that it was a girl, and other than that, there was no damage.
She didn't seem to hear the concubine's words, she just knelt on the ground and didn't say a word, this kind of interrogation has been going on for several days, to her surprise, this concubine really didn't treat her well, is it really her own person?
Xiao Jiu doesn't want to gamble, and she can't afford to gamble!
Seeing such a situation, Concubine Gao was also helpless, what could she do? Kill this girl? Or send it out and ask for clarification?
Obviously not suitable!
After thinking about it, she decided to take a gamble, anyway, she had long thought that this was her own person, and besides, if it was really not, just kill it, and she wouldn't cause any trouble left and right.
She reached out and pulled a hairpin out of her sleeve.
Xiao Jiu knows, it's Lingbao Zhai's thing.
There are two kinds of things in Lingbao Zhai, one is sold directly, nothing special, but the other is made with a mark, which is generally transmitted as a letter.
She took the hairpin and looked at it carefully, there were marks on the head and tail of the hairpin, it seemed that this concubine was really her own person. But...... Xiao Jiu lowered his eyes, I'm afraid this is the person of Qingjuju!
"Slaves are stupid! I didn't know that Niangniang was also ......"
This means admitting her identity, but Concubine Gao was a little dissatisfied: "I just don't know, what objects do you have to prove your identity?" ”
"Niang Niang is confused, people like us, no matter what mark they leave, they will be the master's talisman!" Xiao Jiu's words are reasonable, but in fact, there is another aspect she didn't say, even if there is, it is not something that people should know about green jujubes.
Concubine Gao thought about it, it seems that this is the truth, the most important thing is that when the green jujube received the hairpin just now, she subconsciously checked the mark, this is the secret of Lingbao Zhai, and it is impossible for outsiders to know.
"Even so, why did you go to the Jiaofang Palace?"
Many years ago, Qingzao tried to contact the queen and send the treasure of the town store, which everyone knows, but after she entered the palace, she found that something was wrong, this queen didn't seem to buy Qingzao's account, what went wrong?
"The identity of the Jiaofang Hall is not ordinary, if something happens, the master will definitely have a headache, but the slave and maid can't contact the master, so they can only act privately."
This is not bad, Qingzao has been targeted by the Queen Mother's people, and she also has the prince of ochre with her, and it is inconvenient to act, even if she is a noble concubine, she will not be able to get through the news for a while.
"In this way, can you stay by the side of this palace in the future?"
