Chapter 259: Whistleblowing (2) [Second Update]
Kifu. Ji Chenglin sat in the study in a sullen voice, thinking about the words of the Queen Mother, and slowly tasted the doorway.
The Queen Mother summoned the courtiers' families into the palace to accompany them, and there were only three kinds. One is to woo and show affection, expressing closeness and care. There is also a natural desire for this woman to enter the palace as a concubine. The third is to be held hostage.
The Queen Mother would not have known that he was deeply used and promoted by the emperor at this time. Therefore, in front of other courtiers, the Queen Mother clearly asked Ji Erlan to enter the palace, not to win him over. But in the second case, Ji Chenglin also thinks it is unlikely. Now it is rumored everywhere in the capital that Ji Erlan is the daughter of the Song family, could it be that the Queen Mother wants to move the entire Song family into the harem?
But can Ji Erlan's entry into the palace threaten him? Not to mention that he is not his biological daughter, even if she is his biological daughter, she may not be able to threaten him. Ji Chenglin felt that the Queen Mother would not bother with such an uncertain thing. So. Who does the Queen Mother want to threaten with Ji Erlan? Do you want to be a prince?
The more Ji Chenglin thinks about it, the more likely it is! The Queen Mother knew that Ji Erlan had followed King Du out of Beijing, but she still openly asked Ji Erlan to enter the palace in front of everyone, she was explaining one thing to the courtiers! That is, she is already inseparable from the king of Watar, and all those who oppose her must be controlled in the palm of her hand! She's forcing some courtiers to take sides!
Ji Chenglin couldn't help sweating on the top of his head! What does the Queen Mother mean by using Ji Erlan to explain this matter? Thinking that Ji Erlan resolutely left the Ji family and became entangled with King Du, did she really want to do "some" things with King Du?
Ji Chenglin couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought of what the Qin clan said that day, how could a stupid person like the Qin clan see through this? Who told her? Thinking of this, he immediately got up and went to the upper room, Mrs. Ji was taking a nap, and Ji Chenglin planned to go directly to the wing room to find the Qin family. Hongdou was about to go to deliver her rice and decoction, Ji Chenglin took the food box and said, "You can step down." ”
"Yes, sir. But the old lady told the slave to watch the lady drink the decoction. ”
"yes, I know."
In the wing room, there was no sound quietly, and the dust flew wildly in the beam of light projected through the window, without stopping for a moment, in stark contrast to the Qin clan, who was sitting motionless on the couch with her knees crossed, she buried her face in it, not knowing what she was thinking.
The door creaked, but she remained motionless. Because the red beans will come on time to deliver lunch at this time of day, and there is also a bowl of decoction that is extremely black and viscous, and I don't know what effect it has. She felt a churn in her stomach at the thought of it, but if she didn't drink it, the punishment that awaited her would be even more unbearable.
Ji Chenglin frowned and looked at Qin's situation, and couldn't help but be even more disgusted, put the food box on the table, and said: "It's hard to believe that Brother Rong has come to intercede with me again and again, just what are you going out to do?" Shameful? ”
Qin raised his head sluggishly, and saw Ji Chenglin stunned for a while, before he slowly widened his eyes, stumbled off the bed and knelt in front of him, tears crackling and pouring down, as if endless. She pleaded, "Master, let me out!" I promise, I swear I'll never care about anything in the house again, you let me melt my brother gradually! In the future, I will only look at the two brothers, and whoever you want to enter the mansion will be up to you, and I will never say more! I will never care about you anymore! ”
Ji Chenglin took two steps back, withdrew the corner of his robe from Qin's hand, and said, "What you think is not impossible, but not now. ”
In just a few days, a few hairs grew on Qin's sideburns, she stopped crying, raised her teary eyes and looked at Ji Chenglin. "As long as the master is willing to let me go and reunite with the two children, whatever you say is what."
Ji Chenglin sat down at the table, squinted and pondered for a moment, and said, "In the mother's house that day, who are you repeating those words you said?" ”
Qin Shi was stunned, and when he saw Ji Chenglin's serious face, he said: "It's Tianjiao's guess, she has been worried for a long time, and there have been a lot of things happening to those Tianrong brothers, so she can't help but mention it to me, let me be careful to guard against ......"
"Is it Tianjiao?" Ji Chenglin was even more puzzled, how could he not know the daughter he raised. If you talk about being smart, Ji Tianjiao has a little bit, but these things between the power of the court are definitely not something she can come up with. A woman like Ji Erlan, who is very sensitive to the regime, is simply one in a million.
Qin pondered his words, and suddenly said in surprise: "Master? You confirmed what I said, didn't you? I'm telling you true, right?! ”
Ji Chenglin was stunned when he saw her suddenly happy, and then understood her thoughts, and couldn't help sneering: "Hmph, you still don't know why you were disposed of!" What a stupidity! ”
Ji Chenglin looked at the Qin clan coldly, his eyes full of disdain. It's not that the Qin clan is saying something wrong, but that these words shouldn't be said at all! Know that woe comes from the mouth! Just like the Qin family, a person who knows something and wants to sell it will sooner or later kill others if he doesn't kill himself!
Qin Shi was stunned by his scolding, and then his excitement fell back to underestimation, and the expression on his face was like a cracked mask, becoming hideous and angry: "Ji Chenglin, I am a living person!" Not a brute to be humiliated! Why do you want to do this to me! What the hell am I doing wrong! I am your wife, and I have given birth to two sons and a daughter for you, and you have no merit or hard work, and you have no pity for me! ”
Ji Chenglin listened to her insults, looked at her calmly, and said, "If you want to be pity, you must also be worthy of pity." Do you think you're worth my attention for you? ”
With that, Ji Chenglin kicked away the hand that Qin was holding him tightly, and strode out of the house. He instructed the red beans outside and said, "Go in and watch Madame drink the medicine, remember, Madame is seriously ill, and this medicine can't be left once, you know!" ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go ......"
Ji Chenglin glanced at the closed door coldly, snorted heavily, and turned around to go to Lan Ruoge to find Ji Tianjiao.
Since Ji Erlan left the Ji family, Ji Tianjiao has been extremely active, and he has invited his master for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is busy every day, determined to train himself into a lady.
When Ji Chenglin arrived in her yard, he heard the sound of the piano. When the mother-in-law guarding the door saw him, he wanted to pass the word, but Ji Chenglin stretched out his hand to stop him and walked in slowly. Walking under the window, I happened to hear Ji Tianjiao's slightly irritable voice, and she said, "Did he send the news?" ”
"No ......"
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Ji Tianjiao said angrily: "What does he mean by this?" He hasn't been in touch with me since he left here, and when I asked several times, he told me to be calm and patient. But...... What should I wait for? How long do I have to wait? ”
Mi Yun glanced at her in embarrassment, and muttered in his heart, did the other party regret it when he achieved his goal, and didn't want to have any more contact with Ji Tianjiao. But she didn't dare to say this, so she could only persuade: "There are a lot of things in the Yan Mansion today, and I heard that the people in the second and third rooms have turned against each other because of Yan Linghan's death. I'm afraid there will be no less things that Master Yan needs to deal with, so the girl should wait patiently. ”
Ji Tianjiao bit her lip for a long time and said, "Is there any ......other way than waiting?"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Ji Chenglin standing at the door with thunderous rage, she looked at him dumbfounded, and stammered: "Ah, Daddy......"
Ji Chenglin glanced at her coldly and said, "So, you united with outsiders to provoke your mother to drive Er Lan away, yes or no?" ”
Ji Tianjiao looked at his father blankly, and his head didn't turn for a while.
Ji Chenglin looked at Mi Yun, forced his eyes on her, and asked, "The eldest son of Yan you just talked about is Yan Hong?" ”
Mi Yun knelt down with a plop, turned his head to look at Ji Tianjiao, and didn't dare to speak. Ji Tianjiao reacted at this time, and hurriedly said with a weak heart: "Daddy, listen to me." ”
Ji Chenglin looked at her solemnly and said, "I will listen to you, but if you have a word to deceive me, I will send you to the nunnery to spend the rest of your life!" ”
Ji Tianjiao was a little soft-footed, but she went through the events of the past few days in her mind, and felt that there was nothing wrong with everything she had done, so she calmed down a little. She picked and chosen, skimmed over her deal with Yan Hong, and only said that Yan Hong said those words to her for the good of the Ji family, and she said it to the Qin family when she was worried.
"Daddy, Tianjiao didn't expect her mother's reaction to be so big, she would directly drive her second sister out of the house, and it also caused such a big turmoil...... There are also those rumors, I don't know what's going on, I thought it was my mother who deliberately spread it in order to let the second sister leave as soon as possible......"
Ji Chenglin looked at Ji Tianjiao carefully, the other party's little trick was still very tender, but he didn't want to break it, after all, he didn't really want to send Ji Tianjiao to the nunnery. What makes him very concerned is what Yan Hong is going to do! Why would he do such a thing in secret? Is it just to cut off Ji Erlan's future in order to marry her?
At this time, Yan Hong, who Ji Chenglin guessed in every possible way, was kneeling in the splendid Shoukun Palace, kneeling uprightly, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.
Empress Dowager Song turned around, walked slowly in front of Yan Hong, looked at him inch by inch, and after a long time, the most noble woman in the Da'an Palace finally spoke: "So, the eldest princess of Hongyang has something in her hand, which will be detrimental to the mourning family?" The Su family still has a pair of brothers and sisters living in the world? ”
Yan Hong said: "The Empress Dowager must know that Wei Chen intended to marry Ji Erlan as his wife, so he was very concerned about the affairs of the Ji family. Let people secretly investigate, who knows that this pair of brothers and sisters is very cunning, they have no martial arts, but they have all kinds of means to hide their whereabouts, and finally let the minister lose their traces. ”
