Brother 477: A True Gentleman
After returning from Huguo Temple, Ji Yanning said that he was sick.
Seeing her pale face and weak appearance, An was distressed, and originally wanted to invite a few doctors over, but they were all rejected by Ji Yanning, she has a pharmacy under her name, and naturally there are doctors, so she rejected An Shi's arrangement.
That night, Yuan Wu took his men to Huguo Temple and took out Ying Caiwei's bones.
The five bones have been retrieved, Xiao Shaobei said that if the bones are buried together, it will naturally break the curse that Su Ningxue and them set at the beginning, and Ji Yanning should not be affected in the future.
Ji Yanning was recuperating in Liufu, and the second prince at this time had already obtained the relationship between the fourth prince and Cai Meng, and he was very happy, and secretly attacked the fourth prince.
Even if the soldiers in the palace said that they were not sick, Ji Yanning could still know the most concerning thing in Chang'an City.
Now the streets and alleys are talking about the first two days, a maid in the Four Princes' Mansion found several pictures of beauties in the Four Princes' study, which were actually made of real beauty skin, which caused a sensation for a while.
There is also a new gadget rumored to have been obtained by the four princes, the six-sided lantern worth thousands of gold is actually made of human skin, and a concubine in the palace of the four princes took it out to show off and was recognized, which pushed the four princes into the forefront for a while.
Originally, the four princes kept denying it, saying that those were slanderous words, and they were not true at all.
However, Dali Temple sent back the news, from the case of the murder of a girl in Liangzhou, Cai Meng, the prefect of Liangzhou, colluded with businessmen to make paintings and lanterns with human skin, and the cruelty of their methods was really shocking.
What's even more shocking is that from Cai Meng's confession, it was learned that he had something to do with the four princes.
This time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were even more disappointed in the four princes.
Seeing that all this evidence was conclusive, the second prince used his subordinates to suppress the four princes many times, trying to make the four princes die in this case!
When the emperor knew about this, he was naturally furious.
But at the same time, the second prince gritted his teeth for poking out this secret like this, and the royal face was about to be lost by them.
Hundreds of civil and military officials have asked for orders to deal with the four princes, and if they do such a shocking thing, the four princes have long lost their qualifications to be princes, and these officials naturally choose to step on them.
The emperor was forced by public opinion and the pressure of civil and military officials to demote the four princes to commoners.
Ji Yanning listened to the news reported by Jinhe, and his eyes were calm without any waves.
All this was expected by her, and there was nothing surprising about her.
"The prince will be able to return to Chang'an tomorrow. "The case in Qianzhou has been almost handled. ”
The emperor sent a Sanpin general to take someone to collect part of the official silver and escort it to Chang'an, which can be regarded as closed.
Mu Lin has been in Chang'an for a few days, and the strength of the Mu Mansion is strong, even if the emperor does not like it, he can only punish him a little, after all, Nanzhao County still depends on the Mu family.
However, the emperor did not let Mu Lin return to Nanzhao, and Mu Lin could only continue to stay in Chang'an with interest.
Ji Yanning stood in front of the desk, wrote a list, then handed it to Jinhe, and said: "This is the dark incense antidote prescription, go and give it to the prince, and let him say that it is a home remedy found from the market, which can cure the dumb disease of the third prince." ”
Now that the four princes have fallen, the "dumb disease" of the three princes should also be cured.
Otherwise, let the second prince dominate the court for too long, and he would really regard himself as a prince.
Jinhe took the recipe in Ji Yanning's hand, and said with his head bowed: "My subordinates know." ”
Ji Yanning stood for a while, and she already felt a little tired, she waved her hand, signaling that Jinhe could go down.
Jinhe walked out of the room, and was met by Ziyu who was walking quickly.
Ziyu walked into Ji Yanning's room, stepped forward and said, "Miss, Shen Sangongzi heard that you were sick, so he specially sent some tonic medicine. ”
Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Ziyu's words.
Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, Shen Qingyi actually sent her something.
Pearl, who was waiting on the side, said: "What precious tonic does our eldest lady want?
Ziyu frowned slightly, a little embarrassed: "But the old lady has already accepted it, and it was sent from someone from the main courtyard." ”
Ji Yanning was expressionless and said, "It's okay, then let people send it back to the Shen family directly, and tell Mrs. Shen that we don't need the tonic medicine sent by the Shen family, let's leave it to them for their own use." ”
Ziyu listened to the eldest lady's words, was slightly stunned, then nodded yes, and retreated.
Ji Yanning actually didn't want to embarrass Shen Qingyi, but if he didn't do this, he probably wouldn't give up.
Knowing that he must be hiding the tonic sent by Mrs. Shen, Ji Yanning felt that it was better to leave this matter to their mother and son to deal with, and there was no need to let himself waste his thoughts.
The news of Ji Yanning's illness made the Guo family and the Yuan family send a lot of things, and it also made people ask a few questions, what Ji Yanning didn't expect was that the county lord of Ren'an also sent someone to take a look.
Her heart was still touched.
When Ji Lang came back from school, he went directly to Ji Yanning's courtyard.
Seeing Ji Yanning sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard reading a book, he stepped forward: "Sister, why don't you have a good rest?"
Listening to Ji Lang's "little adult" tone, Ji Yanning put down the book in his hand, couldn't help but chuckle, and said, "I've been resting all the time, but I can't lie down all the time, otherwise it should be moldy." ”
Ji Lang said: "My sister's face doesn't look good, so she should rest more, and it will hurt her mind if she reads." ”
"It doesn't matter. Ji Yanning said, "It's just two old books that I've read before, and I can't bother myself." It's you, have you reviewed your homework, and now at this time, you should practice martial arts, right?"
Ji Lang said: "I'm not in a hurry about practicing martial arts, Master said that I have made great progress and learned much faster than ordinary people." ”
"No matter what you study, you must remember to guard against arrogance and rashness. Ji Yanning said.
Ji Lang nodded: "Lang'er knows." However, my sister is not feeling well, and I am worried about my sister, so I can only push other things back, and I will not delay the practice, Mr. Jingyuan also said, first kindness relatives. ”
Hearing Ji Lang mention Mr. Jingyuan, Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly.
In the past few days, Yuan Wu is thinking about finding a good cemetery for her bones, she wants to bury the bones of her previous life with her family, but she doesn't know where her family's bones are buried.
She knew that it was Senior Brother Jing Yuan who took the risk to collect the bones of their Ying family and the Lou family, but no one knew where he buried those bones.
She is now Ji Yanning, and she didn't dare to tell Senior Brother Jingyuan about this, she just didn't want to involve him, she owed him enough.
"Sister. Ji Lang looked at Ji Yanning's somewhat distracted appearance, and couldn't help but whisper.
Ji Yanning came back to his senses and looked at Ji Lang.
Ji Lang said: "Sister, are you tired?"
Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "I just thought of something." Does your dean, Mr. Kagamichi, be in the academy on weekdays?"
Ji Lang nodded and said, "Mr. Jingyuan is a very good gentleman, he spends most of his time in the academy on weekdays, and he is very good to people. ”
Ji Lang likes Mr. Jingyuan very much, because he can see that Mr. Jingyuan takes care of himself very much.
"Mr. Jing Yuan is quite old, why don't you have a wife and a half children?" Ji Yanning's eyes flashed with a dark look.
Ji Lang thought for a while, frowned and said: "This Lang'er is not clear, but I have heard others mention it a little, saying that Mr. Jing Yuan had a favorite woman, but then the woman died, and Mr. Jing Yuan never had the idea of marrying a wife." ”
Ji Yanning's face was pale, Ji Lang couldn't see the abnormality of her expression, and finally just sighed: "I think Mr. Jingyuan is a real gentleman." ”
"yes. Ji Yanning listened to Ji Lang's words and echoed with a sigh, but his heart was a little sour.
Ji Yanning rubbed his forehead, feeling more and more tired.
After Ji Lang left, Ji Yanning sent a message to Ying Wenxu.
She felt that if Ying Wenxu came forward, Jing Yuan would tell him where the Ying family was buried.
Rong Che, who was supposed to return to Chang'an the next day, had already hurried back that night.
After entering the city, he first entered the palace and handed over the case at hand to the emperor.
The emperor carefully read the cases presented by Rong Che in the study, which were actually similar to those written by He Zhang, the prefect of Qianzhou, but He Zhang almost said that the credit for the whole thing was done by King Xuan, but Rong Che was a lot more humble in his fold.
"Acher has done a good job. The emperor put the fold aside and raised his eyes to look at Rong Che, "I have also sent a lot of Qin messengers to Qianzhou to investigate the case before, but they either found nothing or died in Qianzhou, only you can handle this case so perfectly." ”
Rong Che arched his hand and said: "Fortunately, this is what the younger brother should do." ”
The emperor looked at Rong Che and asked, "The matter of the Mu family, is it really Mu Lin who took the initiative to find you?"
Rong Che nodded, his face was different, and said: "Yes, Mu Xiaogongzi is in a difficult situation, and he learned that his brother is in Qianzhou, so he took the initiative to contact his brother. ”
Seeing that his eyes didn't seem to speak, the emperor didn't have obvious suspicions.
He said: "The Mu family's status in Nanzhao is transcendent, and Ah Che thinks Mu Lin can continue to take over Nanzhao County?"
Rong Che lowered his eyes and said: "The younger brother only had contact with the Mu family during this trip to Qianzhou, and he didn't know the strength of the Mu family before, so he didn't know whether Mu Lin was suitable to continue to take over Nanzhao County. The younger brother just felt that after Mu Xiaogongzi experienced such a thing, he should be more grateful to the imperial court, and he should be grateful to the imperial brother, after all, he should know how to do it. ”
His words made the emperor smile and said, "It makes sense. ”
