Chapter 235: Attracting the Snake (2) [Second Update]
The leader of the dark guard gestured, and everyone with masked people disappeared into the empty mountain in the blink of an eye. Silence suddenly returned to the courtyard, as if nothing had happened. Outside the hospital, there were people who heard the movement and stretched out their heads to look, but they didn't dare to say much about Ji Erlan's affairs. Wansheng Daoist took the pot of wine that Ji Erlan had prepared for him in advance, walked into the room, opened it and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Good wine!" Where the hell did this girl get it? ”
"The girl made it herself! You still don't believe it! Yuexi rolled her eyes and looked at him: "Why don't you leave yet?!" ”
The Wansheng Daoist said as a matter of course: "I'm leaving now, do you want to monopolize the credit?!" I have to wait for the girl to come back and describe my majesty today, lest she fall in love. ”
Yuexi glanced at him speechlessly, and entered the inner room to see Tang Nian. Tang Nian was weak and weak, and at this time, the pear blossom who was crying by the two of them was tied up by Dui Yu, and when he saw Yuexi coming in, he asked, "Yuexi, what happened, why did Sister Dusk tie me up?" ”
Yuexi looked at her carefully for a while, and said, "If you don't know, it's useless to ask me." If you knew, you wouldn't have to pretend to ask me. ”
Tang Nian was shocked, what he said was extremely unkind, he was treating her as an outsider at all, it seemed that from the beginning, Ji Erlan deliberately brought her back to the mansion. But she couldn't have imagined why Ji Erlan suspected her! "Moon, who is that person outside?"
Before Yuexi could answer, Twilight said, "Tang Nian, you don't have to ask again, when the girl comes back, it's not too late for you to ask again." ”
Yuexi was also afraid that she would leak her mouth, so she turned around and walked out of the inner room. At this time, I heard an exclamation from far away from the house.
Yuexi was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "It seems to be the main courtyard? She pulled her legs and went to the main courtyard, and saw that there was a commotion in the main courtyard, and Ji Rongtie stood at the door of the room with a blue face, watching a few people busy in the house. Yue Xi went over and asked, "Second Young Master, what happened?" ”
Royal Blue's face turned pale, and he stroked his chest and trembled his lips and said, "Yuexi, I don't know who it is, in the second young master's room...... On the bed, put a few dead mice! ”
Pinlan said, covering her mouth and nagging frequently, Yuexi squatted down and asked Ji Rong: "Is the second young master frightened?" Let Su Gu come over and show you, right? ”
Ji Rong shook his head and said, "It's just a few mice, they look ugly, don't make a fuss, they can't scare me." What matters is who did such a thing, and what is the intention! ”
Hearing this, Yuexi entered the house and took a look, and the two mothers-in-law were using their mattresses to hold the bloody mice. Pin Lan walked up to her and said: "The second young master was just studying in the small study, I saw that it was getting late, so I laid out the futon for the second young master, and then went to the kitchen to send it to the small study for supper, plus it took some effort to wash and change clothes for the second young master, I really don't know who has been here." ”
Yuexi looked at the others, and several little girls looked curious, and Pin Lan said: "The two second-class girls in the house followed Madame into the palace, and these few can't be close to the house to serve." Since Xinrui was taken away by the second girl, I am the only big girl in the house, and I am really too busy, so I ...... Neglected ......"
Pinlan was a little anxious, with the Qin family's concern for Ji Rong, after returning home, she knew that she might be punished. Seeing this, Ji Rong said: "You don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault, you have been taking care of me by the side, it is inevitable that there will be omissions." ”
Hearing this, Pin Lan said gratefully: "Thank you Second Young Master for your understanding of the slave maid......"
……
The palace banquet has been going on for most of the time, after a few decades of wine, the queen mother has left the table, and King Yi is still young, and he also went back to his palace early. Yang Zhen accompanied King Duan and the emperor to talk, and took the opportunity to talk about Princess Hongyang's imminent return to Beijing. "Your Majesty, it's better to let your brother go and pick up the imperial sister back to Beijing."
Among the children born to the former emperor, there are only a few who are still alive today. But when Princess Hongyang was young, she went to Yandang Mountain to practice because of the horse, so her relationship with the emperor and the king of Du was not as close as that of Princess Tao'an. However, after all, it is connected by blood, and the face must be thoughtful.
Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to greet the imperial sister in person, King Duan is an elder, and King Yi is young, so it is indeed very suitable for Yang Zheng to pick him up. But the emperor thought for a while and said: "The emperor's brother has been in poor health recently, and he doesn't know how far he can go, so he can bear it?" If it's not appropriate, it's okay for the eldest sister to go. ”
Yang Zhen resigned from his position and wanted to recuperate from his sick body, but at this time he jumped out to pick up Hongyang, and the emperor had doubts and subconsciously refused. Yang Zheng said: "The second imperial sister is going back to Beijing this time to prepare to live in Da'an Palace forever, presumably there are only a lot more things that need to be dealt with, the eldest imperial sister is a woman after all, where can she withstand such a toss, although the courtier's body is not very comfortable, but it is better than letting the eldest imperial sister go." Moreover, for fear of the emperor's jokes when he said it, his subordinates were nervous and physically and mentally exhausted, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to go to Yandang Mountain to relieve their body and mind. ”
When the emperor heard this, he pondered for a moment, and he already had a new plan in his heart, and said: "Since this is the case, the emperor's brother will work hard." ”
Duan Wang Ye suddenly returned to the court, and Princess Hongyang had been in hiding for many years and wanted to return to Da'an Palace for some reason...... The minister stopped these words in his ears, and felt more and more that he smelled something unusual, and they all exchanged glances silently.
Yan Hong narrowed his eyes and calculated the purpose of King Du's trip.
……
When the full moon was in the sky, Ji Erlan followed Qin and Ji Chenglin to get off the carriage at the gate of the mansion, and saw a few girls waiting there with their thoughts. Qin Shi chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously asked, "What happened to Brother Rong?" ”
Ji Erlan glanced at Yuexi, and when he saw Yuexi shaking his head, he knew that there was no danger, so he stood still and didn't ask out loud. Pin Lan said to the Qin family: "Madam, just ...... Several bloody dead rats were found in the second young master's bedding...... Fortunately, the second young master was not frightened. ”
Qin's eyes were dazzled, and the maid on the side hurriedly helped her, Ji Chenglin frowned and asked, "How could this happen?" ”
Pinblue explained the cause and effect. The Qin clan stood firm and subconsciously looked at Ji Erlan's face, but Ji Erlan did not dodge, and looked at the Qin clan calmly. Qin pursed his lips and turned his head and walked briskly back to the inner courtyard.
Ji Chenglin naturally wanted to go to see his son, and the group hurried to Ji Rong's room. Ji Rong heard the movement and came out from inside, and the Qin family immediately stepped forward to hug him, and tears couldn't stop flowing out: "Brother Rong, A-Niang will guard you every step in the future!" ”
Ji Chenglin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ji Rong was unharmed, and couldn't help but reprimand when he heard Qin say this: "What are you talking about, Brother Rong is a man, how can he keep messing around in the inner house." There must be people who are dissatisfied with this matter, and they are just scaring and scaring Brother Rong'er. If you want to harm people, how can you just throw a few dead mice! Tomorrow you take someone to take a closer look and see who is suspicious. ”
If it was in the past, the Qin family would definitely not refute Ji Chenglin's half sentence, for fear of angering her, but today she said: "Master, what are these words, this time the other party can do this kind of thing to scare Brother Rong'er, and tomorrow he can poison Brother Rong to death!" Won't you regret it when the time comes?! ”
Ji Chenglin stared at the Qin family, with a surprised look on his face, thinking about the fact that Xinrui was bought and almost poisoned Ji Rong before, and felt that what she said was also reasonable, so he said: "At this time, I will let people investigate carefully, and you will be optimistic about the inner house." ”
The Qin family got his words, and looked up and down carefully before Ji Rong was relieved.
Ji Erlan silently withdrew from the main courtyard and returned to the empty mountain building. Seeing that her face was full of frost, Yuexi said, "The matter of the second young master may just be an accident. It shouldn't have anything to do with the girl......"
Twilight shook her head at her and asked for Gillan, "What about that?" ”
"The person has already caught it, and it is clear that he is coming for Tang Nian." Yue Xi explained the incident in detail, and said: "Wansheng Daoist was originally going to wait here for the girl to come back, but he waited for a while to see the girl and didn't come back and left, saying that he would meet the girl in Mizhuang tomorrow, and when he interrogated the person, he said that he would be happy to help. ”
Mizhuang is the house that Ji Erlan bought in the east of the city earlier, and at this time, after recess and reform, the internal setting has been very different from before, in order not to be heard verbally, everyone calls it 'Mizhuang'.
Ji Erlan nodded and said, "How is Tang Nian, do you have any special reaction?" ”
"No, Tang Nian cried pitifully, and kept asking what was going on."
"Hmph." Ji Erlan snorted lightly: "Don't say it at this time, there will be a time to say it sooner or later in the future, don't worry." ”
Yuexi said: "The old man of Wansheng looked at the appearance of the mask man and said that he had not seen it, but this mask man knew the old man of Wansheng, and the origin must not be simple, such people would rather die than say more, I don't think the girl may be able to ask anything from his mouth."
Ji Erlan said: "I didn't plan to ask for any news from him. The reason why Tang Nian was used as bait to catch him was just to pull out the helpers around Yan Hong and force him to contact the forces behind him. In order to find clues. ”
Yuexi suddenly realized: "So that's the case...... So, what is the girl going to do with Tang Nian? ”
"Don't do it. Just like the original, keep her firmly in the yard and don't move around at will. "Ji Erlan is going to use this method to force her to move. She thought about it silently, and said: "Brother Rong'er's matter is a little unusual, the other party obviously didn't do his best to poison the last time, and this time, it's just a scare." ”
Dui Chun hesitated: "Madame thinks that someone is attacking the second young master, and they are coming for you." But the slave maid felt that it was the opposite, and the other party should be going for the lady! This feeling of being on the verge of danger from time to time made Madame feel panicked, and she became more and more bitter about the girl...... The slave maid thinks that the other party's purpose is not to kill anyone, but to provoke the relationship between you and your wife......"
