Chapter 455: Letters
Empress Dowager Xia sent someone to announce Jin Ling and Mrs. Jin into the palace early in the morning.
The grandfather and grandson each brought two entourages.
Before leaving, Jin Ling repeatedly explained that Qi Huan accompanied Jin Xing to talk, and she would come back soon.
Mrs. Jin entered the palace for the first time, and the palace people who came to greet her told Mrs. Jin about the precautions for entering the palace on the way.
The carriage went all the way to the outside of the Guixiang Palace.
Jin Ling helped Mrs. Jin get out of the carriage, and saw Lu Lanzhi in a white dress and a woman in a palace dress in a red dress leading a group of people to greet them at the door.
"Old lady, the eldest princess, please hurry!" Lu Lanzhi greeted people with a smile.
"Su Rong has seen Old Lady Jin's eldest princess." The woman in the red dress bowed slightly, "The Empress Dowager has been looking forward to you for a long time, please come in quickly." ”
Jin Ling held Mrs. Jin's hand, and she could feel Mrs. Jin's hand trembling slightly.
Mrs. Jin naturally knew that the emperor had newly sealed two concubines, and according to etiquette, as a people's wife, she had to salute when she saw the concubine, but Jin Ling held her and told her before entering the palace that except for the Empress Dowager Xia, everyone else did not have to salute. Mrs. Jin also pretended to be confused, relying on the old and selling the old.
The sun was shining, and the Empress Dowager Xia was wearing a black civilian dress, and when she saw Jin Ling helping a fat old lady slowly walked in, she gradually smiled on her face.
"Jin Ling has seen the Empress Dowager."
"The folk woman Jin Chang has seen the Empress Dowager."
Seeing the two of them kneeling on the ground and saluting, Empress Dowager Xia got up and stepped forward to support Mrs. Jin: "Old sister, get up quickly, haven't you all explained, let's meet today with family etiquette." According to your age, it should be the mourning family who salutes you. Get up. ”
The crowd took their seats.
The palace maid in a pink skirt served tea and snacks.
Empress Dowager Xia kept holding Mrs. Jin's hand and asked for warmth.
Mrs. Jin continued with a smile on her face.
"Old sister, the mourning family sincerely thanks you, you are Jiu'er's grandmother." Speaking of emotion, Empress Dowager Xia's eyes were red, "Jiu'er was born and the mourning family didn't even look at it before letting people take it away...... It was your Jin family who raised her to adulthood, and she raised her so well and so well. The mourners really want to thank you......"
"........." Mrs. Jin didn't answer.
"Look, old sister, can we both comb her hair together when the time comes?" Empress Dowager Xia's face was full of humility.
Old Madam Jin was even more respectful.
We talked about some details of the Kafuri, and we had dinner together until noon. Jin Ling and Mrs. Jin went back, and the Empress Dowager Xia only said a few polite words to let Mrs. Jin stay in the palace, and let them go back.
When Jin Ling and Mrs. Jin returned to Kyushu Ange, the sun was already in the west.
He got out of the car and helped Mrs. Jin back to the room without seeing Qi Huan.
Jin Xing sat alone in the room drinking tea.
When she left, she left Gu Hengzi and Tian Fei behind to protect Qi Huan.
She also repeatedly explained that Qi Huan was with Jin Xing.
Originally, she was not worried about Qi Huan, and after seeing Xia Chengyou last time, she was even more worried.
Jin Xing saw Jin Ling's uneasiness and smiled: "His Royal Highness King Qi received a letter, so he went back, just left!" ”
"Whose letter?"
"Liu Yi!" Jin Xing said with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Qi said that if you come back, I will tell you that he will go back and reply to Liu Yi." ”
"Oh!" Jin Ling smiled, "Dad, you accompany grandma to talk, I'll take a look." ”
When Jin Ling came to Qi Huan's room, the sun was already setting in the west.
Tian Fei stood at the door with his hands folded, and saw Jin Ling quietly turn around and get out of the way.
"Just returned?" Tian Fei asked in a very angry tone, "Your husband has just come back." I've been playing chess with your dad before. ”
"Hmm!" Jin Ling glanced at Tian Fei helplessly, and walked in.
The curtains in the room hung low, blocking out the sunset.
In the room, Qi Huan sat in front of the window, facing a letter on the small table.
"Qi Huan?" Jin Ling walked over quickly, "I heard that Liu Yi sent a letter, is it raw?" Hearing Jin Xing say that it was Liu Yilai's letter, what Jin Ling could think of was whether Du Yue'e was born.
"Hmm!" Qi Huan stood up as he spoke, and walked quickly towards Jin Ling.
"Boys and girls?" Jin Ling asked with a smile.
Qi Huan had already walked over and grabbed Jin Ling's hand, pulled around the screen and came to the bed.
"What's wrong?" Jin Ling quickly noticed that Qi Huan's expression was wrong, "But there's bad news?" ”
Jin Ling's mind quickly thought of things like dystocia.
"Hmm!" Qi Huan nodded and said in a low voice, "But it's not Liu Yi's...... It can already be determined that the letter was not written by Liu Yi either. ”
Jin Ling looked at Qi Huan puzzled: "Who sent it?" ”
Liu Yi is far away in the southwest of Qi country, besides, she and Qi Huan live in Ange, Kyushu, and there are layers of guards outside, Liu Yi just wants to send a message to Qi Huan, but he can't send it in.
"A guard!" Qi Huan frowned, "According to him, it was sent by a messenger." said that Liu Yi used the letter sent by the official messenger of the post station. ”
"You haven't seen it yet?" Jin Ling couldn't help but look at the window again.
Through the screen, only a smoky window can be seen.
"I suspect there's something wrong with this letter." Qi Huan lowered his voice and said, "If this letter was not sent by Liu Yi, it is likely that it was sent by your younger brother." ”
"Since you doubt the problem, don't look at it! Destroy it. Jin Ling said in a low voice, "Curiosity kills cats." It's just burned. ”
Qi Huan shook his head, "But you think, your younger brother, he can even kill the general of soldiers and horses, since he already has murderous intentions towards me, he must not stop if he doesn't achieve his goal." Besides, he used Liu Yi's name to obviously threaten ......"
"I'll go and see!" Jin Ling stood up.
"Wait!" Qi Huan grabbed Jin Ling, "Let's think about it first, what is the purpose of his writing this letter?" Before you came, I thought about the day we met. Although we have talked about it later, there are a few sentences in the front that may be the reason why he sent the letter. ”
"You said the most serious thing, which is the burning of stones!" Jin Ling still feels like that at the moment, Xia Chengyou is very beautiful and poisonous.
"Yes!" Qi Huan nodded, "Now that I think about it, if I were him, I would also think that this was a provocation." I also thought that there were several possibilities for him to give me this letter. The first is that this letter contains poison, the kind that kills me instantly. The second type is the kind that gives me a war letter and asks for it. The third is likely to be just a temptation. Either way, he made the decision alone from your imperial grandmother. ”
"Don't look!" Jin Ling once again resolutely relented in her previous thoughts, "Ruined it!" It's up to us to guard against it! No matter how many people we send on Liu Yi's side, they may not be able to succeed. ”
"But I still want to see ....." Qi Huan let out a long sigh, "Is there a way to read the letter without being poisoned?" ”
"I want to think about it." Jin Ling sighed, "The poison on the letter is nothing more than smell and powder, as long as it is not in direct contact." ””
"There it is!" Qi Huan sighed, "Let's go!" ”
