113, the minister came to the Qing king's test
Qi Dao's back soon became invisible.
He was followed by Lu Ran, and then by the neat and orderly soldiers.
She shouldn't have worried about him.
Jiang Yu knew that Qi Dao was much more capable and mature now than back then, and dealing with Guo Kun was not enough for him to exert all his strength.
But she still started to panic from just now, and she couldn't sit still and came out to wait for him.
Shen Linglong stopped Jiang Tingye from following, she was the girl's family in the end, and in the past few days of following Jiang Ying, some things were clear to bystanders.
Jiang Tingye muttered dissatisfaction, and said that if he didn't follow, Qi Dao's Wang Balamb might have to bully Sister Jiang, Shen Linglong turned his back and rolled his eyes silently when he heard this, and complained in his heart that Jiang Tingye's brain was tendoned, and he didn't dare to say a word on his lips.
This is called cowardice, Shen Linglong comforted herself.
Fortunately, Jiang Yu came back soon, Qi Dao and they had already set off, and now was a good time for her and Jiang Ting to enter the palace at night.
Jiang Yu's expression was serious, and after the box of evidence was carried into the carriage, even Jiang Tingye, who was still talking to Shen Linglong just now, instantly turned cold.
"This birthday, the Queen Mother will never forget." Jiang Yu said in a deep voice.
Jiang Tingye was about to hold back his hatred, he clenched his fists, and his tone was two points more gloomy than Jiang Yu's sound: "Of course she can't forget, even if she wants to forget, I will let her remember it all the time!" โ
Qi Ying is not an unfilial person, on the contrary, Qi Ying has always been grateful to the Queen Mother for suffering too much when she was young, and later supported him in the war, and lived a fearful life every day, so in the years after becoming a king, she has always been tolerant and filial to the Queen Mother and tried her best to satisfy.
Before investigating the affairs of the Guo family, Qi Ying never thought that one day among the knives stabbed in the back, there was actually one that said the Queen Mother, with the name of the Chu family written on it.
The chill is extreme, and I can't bear it anymore.
On the way to the palace, Jiang Yu did not open the curtain, but closed the window door from the beginning.
Such a dark but calm night will always seem that the road is too long.
Go forward, don't look back.
ยท
In the pavilion attic, the candle flame is brilliant, everywhere is the silhouette of silk flower utensils, the singers and dancers dressed in fluttering clothes have changed back and forth, the bride price of the birthday is full of stacks in a corner behind the queen mother, the mood of the queen mother today is particularly good, from the afternoon to the present, I have drunk a lot of wine, but there is no tiredness to leave the table.
The only dissatisfaction is probably that Guo Zhenzhen moved her seat to Qi Ying's side not far away, although it has not yet reached the point of being on par with Qi Ying, but she has already jumped out of the concubine position below and is one step closer.
The Queen Mother looked at her coldly and whispered to Qi Ying, the happy look between her eyebrows and her bright clothes today made her eyebrows and eyes watery.
When the banquet was opened, the Queen Mother specially asked people to move Chu Miao's position to her side, she celebrated her birthday today, naturally everything depended on how happy the Queen Mother was, no one said anything, as if Chu Miao should sit there.
Before the words clashed, in a few actions and commands, the battle between the Queen Mother and Guo Zhenzhen had already begun.
Qi Ying sat in the middle and drank silently, her eyes drifted to Jiang Wan's side from time to time, compared to her ignorance of herself before, now she can occasionally respond to her gaze, such a casual eye-raising touch, like an invisible electric current hitting the heart, making Qi Ying unconsciously raise the corners of her mouth, in the eyes of Guo Zhenzhen and the Queen Mother who were sitting on the left and right, it was more like Qi Ying's smile at them.
This time there was a banquet, because Guo Zhenzhen sat up, Concubine Ru was really lined up next to Concubine Qing, and Concubine Yu, who had been sitting opposite Jiang Wan, sat next to her.
Concubine Yu didn't talk much, after the first greetings, she kept watching the excitement of the banquet in a regular manner, and occasionally said a few words to the Zhao nobles next to her, but she also looked faint and not very interested, but kept looking at Guo Zhenzhen and Chu Miao who were seated, and served with Concubine Qing's unpredictable face.
Jiang Wan carefully observed the expressions of Concubine Yu and Concubine Ru, and felt that Concubine Yu had been pulled by Concubine Ru to push cards all the year round, and she was exposed to it, and the kind of sky falling down on Concubine Ru had nothing to do with me, and everything was not as good as my aura of concentrating on watching the play, and now she is becoming more and more lazy, and she doesn't seem to be very interested in the things in the palace.
was stared at like this by Jiang Wan, Concubine Yu also looked back at her suspiciously.
In these eyes, Jiang Wan felt that although Concubine Yu's state looked a bit like Concubine Ru, the feeling conveyed in her eyes was essentially different from Concubine Ru.
Guo Zhenzhen and Chu Miao staged the drama of 'sisterhood in the palace is as deep as the sea', Guo Zhenzhen is an old fox mask has been worn for too long, Chu Miao is a real white rabbit is restrained in every word, Jiang Wan looked at it for a while and felt bored, she always looked up and couldn't ignore Qi Ying's burning eyes from time to time, she just glanced at him, and she didn't know what he was doing silly, maybe Guo Zhenzhen happened to tell a joke?
Whatever, I can't hear him very clearly anyway.
Compared with Jiang Wan's absent-mindedness, the melon seeds of Concubine Ru on the opposite side became more and more excited, seeing that Jiang Wan didn't eat much, she squeezed her eyebrows and eyes, and pointed to the melon seeds in her mouth that were getting more and more fragrant.
She didn't have time to pay attention to whether Jiang Wan was watching the play seriously, and Concubine Qing had already beeped the whole banquet beside her.
From the beginning when she found out that Guo Zhenzhen's position had been moved, Concubine Qing's cannonball-like mouth never stopped.
She was originally very delicate, because she loved to be angry, and every time she was angry, her expression was self-contained, completely according to a template, her eyebrows glanced at her, the corners of her mouth fell, and she rolled her eyes first, and then gritted her teeth in a voice that only the closest concubine to her could hear: "These foxes are twisted like this, really the emperor looks down on them?!" This palace is so fairy-like, didn't you see the emperor take a look at me?! After saying this, he felt that he had said something wrong, and then muttered, "I've been seeing more lately." โ
After speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at Guo Zhenzhen, who was smiling like a flower on it, and at this look, Concubine Qing put the chopsticks in her hand on the table, and she didn't eat the tender beef she had just picked up, and almost threw off the table: "Chu Miao, this is useless, I can't speak!" โ
Listening to her words, she couldn't figure out whether she was looking at Guo Zhenzhen more unpleasantly, or more annoyed by Chu Miao's delicate appearance, could it be that she was still looking forward to Chu Miao's ability to shoot the case and rushed up to fight with Guo Zhenzhen?
Concubine Ru was snorting melon seeds, thinking in her mind, Concubine Qing couldn't bear it, rushed up, picked up Guo Zhenzhen with her left hand, grabbed Chu Miao with her right hand, and beat the two of them together.
Not to mention, Concubine Qing's current fierce and vicious appearance, with such a move is not strange at all, Concubine Ru was fascinated, and the scene in her mind became more and more exaggerated, she looked at Concubine Qing's face for a long time, and actually felt that her puffing appearance was funny, and she couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
Concubine Qing heard her laugh, and immediately turned her face and glared at her: "What are you laughing at?!" โ
Concubine Ru is not weak at all, Concubine Qing is more funny with a straight face, she continued to swallow melon seeds with a smile, and her buttocks didn't move: "The Queen Mother's birthday, of course I have to laugh, otherwise I can't cry?" Does Concubine Qing think the food is unpalatable? has always been such a bitter and hateful appearance, if the queen mother sees it, I'm afraid she will be unhappy. โ
Her tone was lazy, and with a bit of banter, Concubine Qing choked for a moment, remembering that she had never had a sweet encounter with Concubine Ru, and glared at her with sweeping eyes, and then turned her face away.
It is true that it's not just Concubine Ru, she has never tasted the sweetness of anyone she has fought with, if Concubine Ru knew what Concubine Qing was thinking, there was a high probability that she would say it directly, and there was a small probability that she would be a little tactful, but it was certain that Concubine Qing vomited blood.
At the two extremes of the lively stage and the stage during the banquet, Jiang Wan was a little sleepy, and the sound of silk and bamboo was already a little noisy when it fell into her ears.
Compared with Jiang Wan, today's Qi Ying's temper is really good, not only Guo Zhenzhen's every word is a gentle response, but even the Queen Mother's step by step is also accepted.
The Queen Mother didn't care much about coaxing herself to be happy today, and kept asking Chu Miao to toast Qi Ying and toast the concubine, so drunk that she was smiling and blushing, and her eyes were already a little sluggish when she sat on it.
Guo Zhenzhen was flattered, Qi Ying's tone was so gentle that she suddenly thought that Jiang Wan was still standing in front of her, Qi Ying was talking to Jiang Wan, but her eyes following him were too hot, so she couldn't see Jiang Wan's figure anymore.
But soon, the three words of virtuous concubine made her feel real.
Jiang Wan is dead.
It's almost half a year.
It doesn't sound like much time has passed.
But a few months of time is too long for Guo Zhenzhen.
At this point, she can also take a look at the situation when Jiang Wan looked at them, Guo Zhenzhen feels that she finally has some satisfaction in her heart, but she still feels that some corners are still empty.
Probably because of the drinking, when Guo Zhenzhen looked around, she suddenly felt that she saw a very familiar gaze.
Her body stiffened, because she was too familiar, she had stayed by Jiang Wan's side for too long, and when she did something wrong or thought about something, Jiang Wan would look at her with that kind of gaze.
There is some blame, but more of it, it is still like the worry of the eldest sister.
Now that this kind of sight burned her again, Guo Zhenzhen turned her face keenly and sensitively, and locked the source of the sight in an instant, she looked over intently, and didn't see Jiang Wan, only Concubine Jing who was staring at her.
Guo Zhenzhen mentioned the breath in her throat and swallowed it back instantly.
She saw Concubine Jing pick up the wine glass in her hand, slowly stood up, and through the singing and dancing girls, in the swaying sight, in the sound of silk and bamboo, she couldn't really hear what she said, but guessing from the shape of her mouth, what she said should be: Respect you.
Concubine Jing didn't call her respectfully, Guo Zhenzhen frowned slightly, but soon felt that she didn't care, she drank this glass of wine, the corners of her mouth hooked up, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She was jealous when she was Jiang Wan, she was so favored before, but now she can only provoke so secretly.
Fang Cai's eyes, when Guo Zhenzhen looked at Jiang Wan carefully, felt a little different, probably because she drank too much and was too happy, so she mistook the accidental similarity.
After half laughing, Guo Zhenzhen suddenly turned her face to look at Qi Ying again.
He dotes on Concubine Jing, is it also because. Drunk suddenly, I have seen a familiar look in her place?
Guo Zhenzhen felt yes, she suddenly laughed, I don't know if she was laughing at Concubine Jing's pity, or if she was laughing at something else.
But now, Qi Ying's heart is slowly closing, and he knows that no one is Jiang Wan, so after a moment and a half of freshness, it's just that.
She should be glad that she didn't have too much of Jiang Wan's shadow, she definitely didn't want to. became her stand-in.
After drinking this glass of wine with Guo Zhenzhen, Jiang Wan's sleepiness suddenly woke up.
Qi Ying was still on it, and he didn't mean to have a banquet at all, he smiled, but his eyes were cold, he was waiting for someone, but he didn't know. Which one will come?
After all, this hustle and bustle of the prosperous world will end in a more dramatic way.
Fortunately, Qi Ying didn't wait too long.
The footsteps were completely buried by the excitement of the banquet, the person was picked up by Changzhong himself, and the road was unimpeded, and the heavy box had to be carried by two little eunuchs in order to keep up with the footsteps of the adults in front of him steadily.
If someone leaves for a moment to look outside, they will find that the outside has been emptied, and there is silence.
The palace people were all gone, guarding the corridors, and those who had been hidden behind this lively banquet had all become palace guards.
The combination of slaughter and liveliness inexplicably makes people feel bleak and tragic.
Jiang Ying and Jiang Tingye walked straight into the pavilion with such steps.
The two of them were cold, and the moment they stepped on the threshold, the sound of silk and bamboo quieted down as if someone had cut it off instantly.
The singers and dancers turned their heads and looked blankly at Jiang Yu who was standing in the center, and was glared at by Changzhong, and a group of people seemed to come back to their senses, hurriedly lifted their skirts, and hurriedly bowed their heads and retreated.
The charming and ambiguous atmosphere had just reached its peak, Guo Zhenzhen and Chu Miao drank the most, and they were a little confused, and the Queen Mother drank relatively less, but at this time, the smile on her face gradually solidified.
"Prime Minister? What does that mean? The Queen Mother looked at the scene in front of her in confusion, of course Jiang Yu didn't come to congratulate her on her birthday, the congratulatory gift from the Prime Minister's Mansion had been sent to Yunde Palace this morning, and the banquet was coming to an end at this time, what did Jiang Ying do suddenly?
What displeased the Queen Mother was that Jiang Ting Ye was still standing next to Jiang Yu, his face was gloomy, although it was different from the last time he came to her palace to make jokes, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it would only be more annoying.
The Queen Mother spoke, and all the concubines during the banquet also looked at Jiang Ying, and by the way, they turned their heads to look at Qi Ying, and they looked dazed.
Guo Zhenzhen woke up a little from drinking, she sat up straight, and at this moment, she didn't realize that the monstrous anger hidden under Jiang Zhen's cold face was all aimed at her.
She just sat in her place, looked at Jiang Ying, and then glanced at Qi Ying.
Qi Ying's face did not change, giving people a look that he expected.
Jiang Ying got Qi Ying's power, as she wished, she would hold this butcher knife!
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty." Jiang Yu raised his hands and folded them, bowed slightly, and bowed slightly, "Weichen is suddenly offended, even if the queen mother wants to punish the minister's crime after the emperor, the minister is willing to accept the punishment, the Jiang family is the first adviser on the emperor's side, the head of the official and the minister, the responsibility is on the shoulders, and I have to offend this time!" โ
Her voice was powerful and cold, and it echoed clearly in the attic.
The Queen Mother was said to be blind, she frowned slightly, she didn't understand what this sudden appearance meant, if she wanted to make her happy with some novel tricks on her birthday, Jiang Ying and Jiang Tingye's faces were inevitably a little too ugly.
She didn't believe that she was here to celebrate her birthday.
said that he was here to ask for his life, but the Queen Mother looked quite similar.
As soon as this idea surfaced, Jiang Yu confirmed that the Queen Mother's idea was correct with practical actions, she and Jiang Tingye did come to ask for their lives, but it was not her old woman's life that was asking for it, but Guo Zhenzhen, who was sitting on the side, thought that it had nothing to do with her at this moment, and watched the play coldly.
After Jiang Yu finished saying this, he put his hand down, and when he raised his eyes, his lips trembled unconsciously.
It's never a lucky thing to know more of the truth earlier than to let people know.
During the period of tracking down the Guo family, her cognition was refreshed again and again, and when the truth was calmly exposed in front of her, there was still a slight omission, but it did not prevent Jiang Ying's heart from tearing at this moment.
Jiang Tingye and others empathized with her.
The truth is revealed.
Qi Ying and Jiang Wan will only hurt more than all of them.
She felt sorry for Jiang Wan.
I was so distressed that when I opened my mouth to speak, my body tensed, and my eyes became blood-red: "Tingye, immediately detain the daughter of the Guo family!" โ
Jiang Tingye waited for this sentence and couldn't hold it back.
Before Jiang Zhen's words fell, he was already like a sword off the string, turning into an afterimage, and in an instant, he arrived behind Guo Zhenzhen, and the golden knife that was already in his hand was accurately placed on Guo Zhenzhen's neck.
The golden knife is now, like King's Landing.
beheaded her immediately, and it was also made.
Guo Zhenzhen's face instantly faded from a red flush dyed with wine to a miserable white.
The silence was so quiet that it could be heard when a pin fell to the ground.
The scene in front of him was so shocking that everyone didn't have time to react, they didn't have time to scream, they only subconsciously held their breath and covered their mouths, as if the golden knife would be divided into several in the next second, cutting off the throat of anyone who dared to make a sound.
Flashing the knife on her birthday, the Queen Mother came back to her senses after being shocked, and immediately stood up and slapped the table heavily: "Jiang Ying!" What are you doing?! The mourning family and the emperor are still here! โ
Jiang Ying's face did not change, she lifted the hem of her clothes, and knelt down, her waist was straight, and her voice was stiff and strong like never before: "The Guo family, wolf ambition, heinous evil deeds, hard to write, ministers. Come here today, clear the side of the king, and take the dynasty as a platform! โ
