Chapter 711: Bad News
In the dark night, in the room, as her words of emotion ended, Shang Kelan's eyes couldn't help but move slightly.
"Xiao Ye, what kind of person is Qi Lan's child's biological mother?"
Shang Kelan's soft voice resounded in the room, but with a hint of tentativeness.
Chen Yetan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but recall some things that had long been forgotten by her.
Speaking of which, unconsciously, the eldest lady of the former Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, the pearl in the palm of the hand of Master Shang and Mrs. Shang, has been dead for four years unconsciously.
Just after the Chinese New Year this year, the war between the Great Zhou and the Jin State broke out just a few years ago.
And this year, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the capital, none of the families or officials who participated in this war had a good New Year.
They are all too busy, and even more so in the General's Mansion.
After listening to Shang Kelan's words, Chen Yetan was indeed silent for a moment.
Immediately, she sighed, the faint narrator, and her tone was a little nostalgic: "Speaking of which, this was four years ago, the first time I saw the first queen, she was still the imperial concubine who was favored by three thousand. β
Four years ago, no, five years ago, to be exact.
In the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty five years ago, Concubine Chen was the most favored, coupled with her respected status, she was the most likely person to be promoted to the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It's a pity that Concubine Jia rebelled later, and the eldest princess assisted Concubine Jia from the side, and Concubine Chen disappeared.
But when she disappeared, she was already pregnant with Jin Qilan.
No one thought that such a legendary woman would die under Concubine Jia's cup of poisoned wine in the end.
Just to save Jin Qilan.
It seems to narrate the past, which can make people have a sweet dream.
After Chen Yetan finished speaking, he sighed faintly: "Concubine Chen Niangniang is also a smart woman. β
Intelligent, but never wants to hurt others.
Suddenly, her words made the sealed memories in Shang Kelan's mind suddenly open up.
Even after so many years, she still has lingering palpitations when she hears people mention her and Concubine Jia in the past.
No, or rather, the waves in my heart are actually indispensable.
"Well, go to sleep, I'll go out tomorrow to find out the news."
After Chen Yetan's words fell, Shang Kelan covered her with a thin quilt and did not continue the topic.
In any case, there are some things that she still won't mention lightly.
Tonight, it's just her whim.
She just didn't expect that after she died, so many people would remember her.
Especially when Chen Yetan talked about Shang Kelin just now, the eldest brother who loved her the most since she was a child.
In order to protect her and protect the Zuo Xiangfu, as the only son-in-law of the Zuo Xiangfu, he learned to restrain his edge since he was a child, and was misunderstood as a gentleman.
Chen Yetan also said that even after so long, sometimes Shang Kelin would go to her grave every time her sacrifice day.
After suppressing this matter, the heroine put on the quilt again and fell asleep, without continuing the topic.
However, at this time, the capital.
Under the dark night sky, the left prime minister's house.
In the study, the candlelight reflected two figures, one tall and one short, and inside, Jin Qilan was sitting at the desk with Chen Yusong.
The two were talking, but what they were talking about was what Chen Yetan had said to Shang Kelan before.
I saw that under the candlelight, Chen Yusong's face flickered brightly and darkly, and the expression on his face also looked a little obscure.
"Your Majesty, after the last time the Weiyuan General's Mansion held a snow appreciation, the whereabouts of the general's wife and Miss Monk are unknown, and the minister is worried, I am afraid that there have been traitors in the court."
Jin Qilan frowned slightly, and her young face had a solemn expression.
"My lord, the second lady of General Weiyuan's mansion has just met you, but there are ambiguous rumors about you outside, and many people have even regarded her as your fiancΓ©e."
Hearing Jin Qilan say this, it seems that there is something in the words.
Suddenly, Chen Yusong's face was slightly gloomy, and he nodded to Jin Qilan and motioned for him to continue.
"Tomorrow, I will take someone to raid General Weiyuan's mansion, Jiang Lianyi must not stay any longer."
The look of consternation on Chen Yusong's face gradually receded, he nodded slightly, smiled, and reached out to touch Jin Qilan's head.
"When the minister first met Jiang Lianyi, Jiang Lianyi showed the same personality as the wheat in my memory, and later, I was suspicious and sent someone to Jiang Mansion to check, what was the character of the master of Jiang Mansion before, probably only Jiang Fu's scary person knows best, right?"
Hearing this, Jin Qilan was stunned for a moment.
"My lord, according to your meaning, in fact, you have already noticed that something is wrong with her?"
Chen Yusong nodded, "All this is a plan, but the minister is still careless, I am afraid that the whereabouts of the general's wife and their current situation are only clear to Jiang Lianyi." β
Therefore, the current situation cannot move the ripples for the time being.
Jin Qilan frowned slightly, understanding the meaning of Chen Yusong's words.
After a moment of silence, the hesitation in his eyes gradually receded: "Okay, I see." β
Since Chen Yusong can say this, he must have a way to ask the whereabouts of the general's wife from Jiang Lianyi's mouth.
In this way, Jin Qilan does not need to pay attention to this matter for the time being.
"Your Majesty, you still need to change your self-proclaimed title to your ministers."
Originally, Jin Qilan wanted to say something else to Chen Yusong, but Chen Yusong's voice came over so abruptly.
Suddenly, Jin Qilan's face showed hesitation: "My lord, I am still young, and my father has only disappeared temporarily, I believe he will definitely come back." β
He didn't want to replace Jin Yantang and be the emperor of the Great Zhou.
Although Jin Yantang was not gentle to him since he was a child, it was his strictness that allowed Jin Qilan to learn many things at a young age.
He has always been secretly teaching himself about government affairs.
Compared with Jin Yantang and Wei Chi, the former is a strict father to Jin Qilan, and the latter is a loving father to him.
"Your Majesty, you are now a king, and the minister knows that you are an assertive person, maybe one day the minister will have an accident and will not be able to accompany you all the time, at that time, you should be most careful not of the enemies outside, but the ministers around you."
The latter sentence seems to have a tone of irrationality.
But Jin Qilan didn't hear it, he just sensitively noticed that the left phase at this time was a little different from the usual him.
I don't know if it's a difference in emotions or something, he can't tell.
It's just that he still nodded to Chen Yusong, and his face returned to his previous serious look: "Well, I understand." β
From the moment his expression recovered, Chen Yusong seemed to see Jin Yantang's shadow again.
And so, very well.
Slowly, he smiled at Jin Qilan, took Jin Qilan's hand, and sent him back to the palace.
The next day, a spring rain came unexpectedly.
The rain was a bit heavy, and from this day on, it rained like this for several days.
The capital, the imperial palace, the imperial study.
Jin Qilan was wearing a black embroidered gold dragon dress, sitting upright on the dragon chair, with a fold in his hand.
It's just that his face is a little ugly, and his brows are slightly furrowed, as if something bad has been written on the fold.
After a while, he closed the fold and looked at Lu Zirui standing in the main hall, with a solemn expression: "Uncle Lu, has the flood in the south happened again?" β
Lu Zirui nodded, his face was very angry: "Someone, sabotage, the dam I built!" β
