Chapter 221: Aunt and Nephew Meet
The prison of the Criminal Department
Jiang Bohou's Mansion became a criminal who helped Murong Yan collaborate with the enemy and seek treason and usurp the throne overnight. Bohou Jiang Zhengqing absconded in fear of crime, and his family, including his elderly father Jiang Huaitong and his mother Jiang Jiang, were all imprisoned in the Criminal Department.
And his wife Qin Susu and daughter Jiang Zhu are no exception.
"Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu, are you okay?"
The prison was dark and damp, and there was no daylight, and all the women and men of the Jiang family were all detained separately. And Jiang Zhu was locked up with her mother Qin Susu.
In the same cell, Jiang Zhu's grandmother, Jiang, an old lady who seemed to be well-behaved and gentle. At this moment, Jiang's face, although his face was dirty, his clothes did not look messy, his silver hair was wet with water and meticulously attached to his scalp, sitting quietly in the corner alone, leaning against the wall and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Jiang Zhu's body was not very good, but in such a harsh environment in the prison, because of fright, he actually launched a high fever.
She was lying in Qin Susu's arms, her hair was messy, her little face was red, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly on her closed eyes.
"Mother... Mother, cold... It's so cold! ”
Jiang Zhu grabbed Qin Susu's sleeves tightly with both hands, trembling his lips and muttering unconsciously, shaking violently.
Qin Susu hugged her tightly, patted her face gently, and whispered, "Xiaozhu Xiaozhu, don't sleep, don't sleep!" Xiaozhu ...... Daughter, don't scare my mother, what should I do now? ”
"Someone! Anyone? Come on! ”
Qin Susu hesitated for a long time, threw himself in front of the closed cell door and shook the irons with big locks vigorously, and shouted loudly towards the door.
"Shouting...... What to shout? What to shout? ”
Outside the door, a jailer came over cursing, knocked on the lock with the hilt of his sword, and shouted impatiently.
"Can you help me get a doctor, my daughter ...... her"
Before Qin Susu's words fell, the jailer interrupted her angrily, "Doctor? The...... Madam? You're thinking too well, aren't you? ”
Another jailer also laughed, "Hahaha, please also ask for a doctor, it's good to have food for you, but those who can be locked up here are all felons of the imperial court, maybe they won't even see the sun tomorrow, and they still think about the doctor, it's really too much, right?" Hahaha........."
"Who's to say it isn't? Even Lord Wei Chi was almost implicated, and these damned women were still thinking about asking for a doctor...... Don't look at who you are now? Phew! ”
"Big brother, please ......"
"Stop, stop, stay honest, wait for the verdict above, it's good if you can have a breath."
Qin Susu still wanted to plead, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the jailer.
"What do you beg them to do, even if they want to, who would dare to take the doctor to this prison? Isn't that self-inflicted? Don't make my old woman suffer! ”
The Jiang family, who had been leaning against the corner of the wall indifferently, raised his eyelids and spoke nonchalantly.
"Hehe, Mrs. Jiang can still see it! Stay tuned! Let's go! ”
The jailer glanced at her and strode away with his companion.
"Mother, Xiaozhu she ......"
Qin Susu looked at Jiang Zhu, who was lying unconscious on the grass, his little face was burning red, and his teeth were clucking.
Qin Susu hurriedly covered her with a black and shady cotton quilt not far away.
"Cold ...... Cold... Mother, mother...... Cold, I'm cold......"
Jiang Zhu hugged the quilt tightly and shivered.
"It's okay, it's okay, my mother is here...... Ah, good, mother, don't be afraid! ”
Qin Susu was distressed and didn't know what to do.
She kept wiping the cold sweat on Jiang Zhu's forehead with her sleeve, and comforted incoherently.
"Fringo...... Fringo... Help me......"
Jiang Zhu began to talk nonsense.
Qin Susu's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again, she heard what the jailer said just now, this matter has already affected the Wei Chi family, will Yu Chi Yan help them? Or are they all unable to protect themselves?
Otherwise, Yi Chi Fulin's usual love for Jiang Zhu should have come a long time ago.
Qin Susu stepped in front of Jiang Shi in a few steps and squatted down, "Mother, do you have any way?" I'm scared like this...... I'm afraid that Xiaozhu won't be able to hold on, and she will be physically weak......"
As she spoke, Qin Susu couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
Jiang raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "How?" What can I do as an old woman? ”
Qin Susu was a little desperate, and his body went limp, "Is there really no way to do it?" That's all we have to wait to die? ”
Although she was behind the gate, it was the first time she had entered the prison, and seeing her daughter like this, she really couldn't think of any better way to reverse the situation.
The point is that the culprit of this disaster ran away, and Jiang Zhengqing ran away!
How could the upper authorities let them go so easily?
Even using them as bait will keep them in jail.
There was no superfluous expression on Jiang's face, and it was faint, and the granddaughter lying on the ground not far away beside her could not stir up ripples on her face.
"There are ways to do it, but there are ......"
After a long time, Jiang Shi came up with a sentence.
"What's the solution? Mother, tell me quickly, is there any way to save Xiaozhu? ”
Qin Susu eagerly grabbed Jiang's sleeve.
"Wait!"
It took a long time for Mrs. Jiang to spit out a word from her mouth.
"Wait?"
Qin Susu seemed to understand something, "Mother means waiting for the Wei Chi family to come and save us?" "510 Literature
Old Madam Jiang nodded and shook her head again.
Qin Susu didn't understand what she meant.
"The daughter-in-law doesn't understand ......"
"Maybe it's not the Wei Chi family..."
Old Madam Jiang closed her eyes on the ground, leaned against the wall and stopped talking.
Her words made Qin Susu even more incomprehensible, looking at her daughter's burned red face, she suddenly remembered a little thing that Qiu Xiang said once, could it be that person would come?
It was time for lunch to be distributed in the prison, and two small men with patches on their clothes struggled to carry half a bucket of food towards their cells.
"Give me food, I want to eat!"
"I, I want it too!"
"I'll first... I'll go first! ”
The prisoners who were still crawling in the cell quickly crowded to the door and stretched their hands out of the iron door, trying to get their food first.
And those who are on the verge of death, or who are seriously ill, can only lie on the cold ground and wail, and even do nothing but watch.
Two small men, with one sleeve covering their noses, some inappropriate hats covering their foreheads, and the clothes on their bodies did not know where they were picked up, obviously ill-fitting.
"Don't make noise, don't make noise, if you make any more noise, you won't have to eat!"
The voice of the person walking in front was obviously a little immature, and it sounded only about twelve or thirteen, but his face looked relatively old.
The two of them scattered the porridge in the bucket as thin as clear water into the broken bowl at the door of each cell, and on the clear porridge that could show the figure of a person, there were two rotten vegetable stalks, which was already a good meal for the prisoners in the prison, at least, not rancid.
Soon, the porridge in that big bucket was almost divided, and in the end, it was Jiang Zhu's turn to be in their cell.
"Yutang? Serious business? ”
Qin Susu looked at the two teenagers outside the iron gate in disbelief and shouted in disbelief.
Dressed in tatters and dark-skinned, in addition to his facial features, he can barely tell that it is Qin Yutang and Qin Zhengye, where do they look like two sons and brothers from the Qin Mansion?
"Shhhhh
Qin Yutang quietly looked around and whispered with his index finger to his mouth. Qin Zhengye poured out the porridge in the bucket, then took out a food box from his back, put it on the ground and opened it, took out a few plates of food from it, handed it to Qin Susu inside from the crack in the door, and said,
"Auntie, let's eat some first."
Qin Susu looked at the actions of the two teenagers, her nose was a little sour, she brought the food in and handed it to Mrs. Jiang who was leaning against the corner, "Mother, you can eat something first." ”
Then he came to the door again and asked impatiently, "How did you two get in?" Also, where have you all been during this time? Why didn't the Qin Mansion and the Jiang Mansion send so many people and fail to find you? How did you know we were in prison? ”
"Auntie, don't worry."
Qin Zhengye comforted Qin Susu and said, "We wandered for a few days after coming to the imperial capital, and then went to find something to do, just to eat, but I didn't expect to meet the crown princess, so we have both lived in the prince's mansion in the past few days." Only then did I get the news that something had happened to Jiang Fu, so I sneaked out. ”
"You said you... Live... Living in the Prince's Mansion? ”
Qin Susu didn't believe what he said at all, and asked angrily, "Lie!" Even if you live in the Prince's Mansion, how can you enter this heavily guarded prison? She stared at Qin Zhengye's eyes solemnly, as if she wanted to look into his heart.
"Don't tell your aunt that the prince brought you here, if that's the case, my aunt will see you."
Qin Susu asked seriously.
"Auntie, guess who brought us in?"
Qin Yutang whispered mysteriously.
Qin Susu was stunned for a moment, isn't he from the Prince's Mansion?
Just thinking about it, in the dark corner, a figure slowly flashed out, dressed in simple guard service, slightly thin, he walked to the cell door, saw Jiang Zhu lying on the ground, frowned, and shouted behind him, "Someone!" ”
Soon, the jailer, who was still fierce just now, ran over and saluted respectfully, "Brother Guard, do you have any orders?" ”
"Open the door!"
The man commanded in a deep voice.
"This..."The jailer's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he had been instructed from above that these people were felons of the court who were plotting to usurp the throne, and they did not dare to open the door at will to let people in.
"Why, the queen didn't listen to her orders?"
The man raised his eyebrows and took out a token from his arms, the jailer took a closer look, and was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "The queen mother spares her life, the queen mother spares her life!" ”
"Why don't you open it yet?"
The man said coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes."
The jailer stood up tremblingly, took the key from his waist and opened the iron door, but did not go away, but obediently stood at the door.
"You are?"
The man's face looked relatively young, and Qin Susu didn't know him.
Qin Yutang said something in Qin Susu's ear, Qin Susu's face changed, and he wanted to think about it out loud and closed his mouth again, and blessed the person who came.
"Madame doesn't have to be polite, Miss Jiang, what's wrong? Why don't you wake up? ”
The man said, squatted down and touched Jiang Zhu's forehead, and then quickly shrank back as if he had been burned, and his eyebrows wrinkled into Sichuan characters, "Why is her head so hot?" Is it a fever? Have you seen the doctor? ”
After speaking, he felt that it was wrong, and smiled curtly, "Look at my memory, how can there be a doctor here?" ”
"Yutang, Zhengye, go and help Miss Jiang up, I'll take her to see the doctor."
"Your Highness, this... How can this be? ”
Qin Susu was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that Qiu Xiang is right, the second prince is thinking about Xiaozhu.
