Chapter 2: Perilous
The guests were in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.
It is rumored in Beijing that the eldest lady of the Xia family is going to marry a certain prince and marry a princess when she returns to Beijing this time.
Whether it is the eldest prince born to the queen or the second prince born to the jade concubine, they are all candidates who may become the crown prince in the future, no matter who Xia Jinse marries, it is a supreme glory.
There has always been only the prince who chooses the concubine, who has ever heard of a woman choosing the prince?
The reason is only because of Xia Jinse's grandfather Xia Boyuan.
Xia Boyuan is a veteran of the two dynasties, when the first emperor reigned, he made great achievements, destroyed three small nomadic countries that had harassed Daqing for many years, and in a royal hunt, he helped Emperor Yuanqing, who was still the crown prince at the time, to block a stray arrow.
Now Xia Boyuan led 100,000 Xia family troops to guard the border passes and suppress the threat of the growing Jin State. Loyalty, more than 10 years as a day.
In order to commend Xia Boyuan's merits and loyalty, Emperor Yuanqing gave a marriage letter just a month after Xia Jinse was born, allowing the concubines of the Xia family to choose a prince to marry at will when they became adults.
Xia Jinse is the eldest daughter of the concubine, and she has been by Xia Boyuan's side all the year round, and everyone has tacitly accepted her as the future princess. But now that there is such an accident, coupled with her disfigurement, everyone must have superfluous speculations about this marriage.
Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the royal family to let a disfigured woman be the princess? Some people even secretly wondered if it was a prince who hated Xia Jinse, so he found someone to secretly attack her......
The matter was so big that everyone didn't dare to speculate, and they left one after another after giving Cheyenne a happy path.
The mourning hall finally fell silent.
Xia Yanxiu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, just come back alive." Steward Hu, you find someone to clean up this place, what should everyone do. If someone dares to chew the root of the tongue in private, they will be dealt with by family law. ”
He looked at Xia Jinse again, and barely showed a kind fatherly appearance: "Jinse, you go back to the room to rest first, and Ming'er will invite a doctor for you to come and take a look and treat the injury on your face." ”
Zhao suddenly remembered something: "By the way, master, I have to send someone to the yamen to eliminate the case!" Now that Jin Se has come back safely, there is no need to trouble Lord Song to investigate the case. ”
Xia Jinse was just about to go back to his yard, when he heard this, he turned around and said, "Father, this case can't be eliminated." The daughter did not fall off the cliff by accident, but was slashed twice and pushed down again. If you don't find out clearly, wouldn't it be bad if the gangsters will commit murder again and murder their daughter or the rest of the Xia family! ”
Everyone's faces changed, Xia Mengyao was startled, and immediately shouted: "Yes, yes, you can't close the case!" This murderer must be caught, or what if he comes to murder me again? ”
Xia Ruxue pulled her and motioned her not to talk too much, but Xia Mengyao was simple-minded and big-mouthed, and she couldn't understand the hint at all: "Sister, what do you see me doing, I'm telling the truth......"
"That's enough, you don't have to say a word!"
Zhao was simply angry with this stupid daughter: "You can't intervene in the matter of the case, it all depends on what your father says." ”
Xia Yanxiu frowned and said, "Are you serious? ”
Xia Jinse nodded, with a hint of trepidation in his eyes......
Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending, Xia Yanxiu said: "Okay, if it is really done by a villain, this matter must be investigated clearly." He waved his hand and summoned Hu Yuan, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, and asked him to go to Jingzhao Mansion to explain the situation and solve the case as soon as possible.
Begonia Garden.
Xia Jinse finally returned home.
Once again, she was in the Xia family, and it was only a few days, but her feelings were very different.
She is no longer the original Xia Jinse, but a ghost from another time and space. By mistake, she went from a doctor of scientific research in medical school in her previous life, a genius who studied both medicine and surgery at the age of 28, to the eldest daughter of the prime minister of the Daqing Dynasty.
In the boudoir, Xia Jinse looked at the gray tabletop, in the half-person-high plum vase in the corner of the wall, a few pink camellia flowers had already withered, the bed was flat and neat, and a delicate ladies screen partitioned the bed, but it was cold.
She had been missing for days, and no one had even cleaned her room.
"Miss, Miss......" Suddenly, there was a sound of surprise outside, and as soon as Xia Jinse turned his head, he saw two people running in.
A round-faced and big-eyed maid saw Xia Jinse clearly, and cried on the spot: "Miss is really not dead!" ”
She threw herself down and fell to her knees, crying and laughing with joy.
A woman in her forties next to her was also full of tears: "It's good that Miss is back, it must be Mrs. blessed by the spirit of heaven......"
Xia Jinse remembered that these two people had served the original owner's mother.
The maid's name was Mu Xiang, and the woman was called Aunt Yao, and after the original owner returned, she was transferred by the Zhao family to serve her. But Xia Jinse looked at the two of them, not much better than her, with whip marks on her face and hands, probably because she was punished for her affairs.
Xia Jinse let the two of them get up, Mu Xiang wiped away her tears and asked, "Miss, what happened to you?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that someone killed you." Xia Jinse said lightly.
Recalling the memories of the original owner, as well as the life at the border over the years, Xia Jinse concluded that his mother's death was not so simple. It's just that the original owner was simple, and he never thought much about it, and he really thought that her mother sent her away so that she could take care of her grandfather.
Although my grandfather is over half a hundred years old, he is fierce and strong, where is he taking care of her as a female doll?
It's clear that she is going to avoid trouble!
