After leaving the prison under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Mansion, not long after returning to the Gongfu Mansion, Dou Zhang was covered with dirt and begged to go to the gatehouse, and he wanted to see Yi'er alive or dead.

Yi'er knew what he wanted, and she knew that she couldn't respond to him, so she didn't see anyone, Dou Zhang begged in the concierge to no avail, and under the annoyance and anger, he tore his throat and scolded, and finally Yi'er didn't react here, and the county lord of Huayang had already sent a message out, so that the guards directly tied up the person and sent him back to Dou Mansion.

The next day, Qiao Chuan finally mentioned Dou Ran's passage, this person had been in prison for a few days, although he was described as haggard, but his spirit was acceptable, but since he visited the prison yesterday, this person was even mentally broken, he was stunned, his eyes were blank, and he often looked at a place that was convenient and out of his mind.

Qiao Chuan frowned, he had already noticed the abnormality, so he slapped the shocked wood and took a break from the hall, saying that because of Dou Ran's mental disorder, the hall was temporarily suspended and retried the next day.

But on the night of the same day, Dou Ran had an accident, she used her clothes to form a rope, and committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam at night.

After the news came out on the second day, Dou Zhang fainted on the spot, and after waking up, he ran to the Jingzhao Mansion and struck the drum of grievances, bluntly saying that the Jingzhao Mansion was attached to the powerful, set up a private Xingtang, and disregarded people's lives. Qiao Chuan knew that this person had just experienced the pain of losing his daughter, and he didn't want to deal with him, so he only let people get him out.

Who knew that this person was unyielding, and then for several days, every day he ran to hit the drum of grievances, and finally made trouble in the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Qiming took pity on Dou Zhang's white-haired person and sent the black-haired person, and thought that Dou Ran had been Princess Mingwei's companion after all, so he pressed Dou Ran's case down, and comforted Dou Zhang, and this matter was over.

Of course, everyone is dead, and Yi'er didn't want to ruin his reputation after his death, so he didn't pursue it anymore, and this matter really came to an end.

In mid-October, Dou Ran had just been buried, but there was a visitor in Yirui Courtyard who surprised Yi'er.

At that time, just after the hour, Jiang You was on official business, did not go to the early court, and just went out of the mansion to go to the official office, this person obviously stepped on the door, and claimed to be Yi'er's old acquaintance in the gatehouse, surnamed Dong, and asked to see Yi'er.

When people entered Yirui Courtyard and saw the ceremony, Yi'er said: "You come to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will detain you and hand you over to the government?" ”

Dong Qing said: "The villain's life has been saved by Miss several times, Miss wants to catch the villain, but it's just a matter of one sentence, anytime and anywhere, and the villain has no complaints." ”

Yi'er said: "On the East Mountain, you also saved my life, so if you and I are clear, there is no need to mention any life-saving grace." ”

Dong Qing said: "How can it be the same?" On top of Dongshan, when I rescued Miss, Miss also responded to a condition of the villain at that time, the villain was taking advantage of the danger of others, and the price was all over the sky, and Miss saving the villain was two different things, and it could not be compared. ”

Yi'er was stunned for a moment, thinking that this person came to the door today but it turned out to be this. At the moment, he was silent, and said: "You don't have to turn a corner to remind me, I said at that time, I will meet your conditions if you guarantee me to go up the mountain, and I have never forgotten this." Now that you have come to me, I think you have already thought about it, so say, if I can do it, I will not break my word. ”

Dong Qing smiled and said: "Miss has always been cool, and the villain will not hide it, the villain wants to ask Miss, and arrange for the villain to enter the forbidden army to find an errand." ”

"Forbidden Army?" Yi'er was stunned for a moment and said, "The forbidden army is in charge of the palace guards, and they are the close attendants of the Son of Heaven, which are very important, how can they easily infiltrate it?" What's more, the current commander of the forbidden army is General Xiao Zifang Xiao, this person is straightforward, never friends with courtiers, and my grandfather is just a nodding friend, he can be regarded as a recognizable person, where can I have the ability to settle people in the forbidden army? ”

Dong Qing smiled: "Miss is humble. What kind of character is the prince? In terms of identity and means, where is there anything in the court that he can't do? The villain thought that as long as the young lady told the prince, it would only take three or five days to do it, and it would be a matter of course. ”

Yi'er frowned, stared at Dong Qing and said, "Why do you want to go to the forbidden army?" ”

Dong Qing said: "Miss just said, the forbidden army is the close servant of the Son of Heaven, and it is very important, the villain is thinking, if I want to do something and achieve a meritorious deed, I am afraid it is the most convenient shortcut to enter the forbidden army." After a pause, he laughed dryly and said, "Of course, the villain said this, Miss will definitely not believe it, but when Miss promised me, there were no conditions attached, so the villain thought that whether Miss believes or does not believe in the villain's words, it should not be hindered in this matter itself." Naturally, Miss, please rest assured, I, Dong Er, am an outlaw again, and I can also get a share of the severity, Miss doesn't have to worry about the villain sneaking into the forbidden army, she wants to do something rebellious. ”

Yi'er said: "Now that the prince of Liang has returned to Beijing, the upstart of the court is hot, if you go to him, it is easy to enter the forbidden army, so why bother to come to me?" ”

Dong Qing sneered and said: "At the beginning of Longqingshan, it was indeed Prince Liang who saved me Dong Er, and in order to repay my kindness, I did take refuge in King Liang and sold my life for him. But that day in the capital, after my identity was revealed, the whole city was wanted, and Lord Liang not only did not help, but sent a killer to kill people. After going through such a thing, Miss thinks that Dong Er can still come to the door to find him? ”

Yi'er was skeptical of Dong Qing's words, but what this person wanted to enter was the forbidden army, in other words, he was able to enter and leave the palace in a grand manner, and this matter was so big that Yi'er didn't dare to allow him easily for a while, so he said: "This is not a trivial matter, why don't you give you an answer after I discuss it with my grandfather?" ”

Dong Qing nodded and said, "Miss is willing to tell the prince, and the villain is willing to wait a few more days." ”

Yi'er said, "If I get news here, how can I notify you?" ”

Dong Qing said: "Three days later, Dong Er will come over again to ask to see Miss." ”

That night, Yi'er told Jiang You about this, Jiang You pondered for a long time, and said: "You don't have to come forward in this matter again, when the time comes, the master will meet this famous young bandit." ”

Three days later, Jiang You deliberately stayed in the mansion, and when Dong Qing came to the door, Jiang You asked people to lead him directly to the outer courtyard. When the two met, they didn't know what they talked about, and when they asked Jiang You, this person just stroked her head lovingly, and only said that the matter had been dealt with, so that she didn't have to think about Dong Qing anymore.

At the beginning of winter, the news of the death of the eldest prince Hejian Wang Yang Quan was transmitted back to Yundu from the river, Emperor Qiming was distressed, a serious illness, and the emperor's illness had just improved, and he didn't want the queen mother to have a stroke in the middle of the night.

Emperor Qiming was miserable, but he had to drag the sick body to take care of the queen mother's funeral.

I don't know what's going on, the funeral of the Queen Mother here is just right, and the eldest princess Yunping over there is sick again, sleeping in bed with a high fever that does not go away.

On the side of the Guogong Mansion, the county lord of Huayang and Yi'er had already rushed to Jingdong Mountain, but the eldest princess of Yunping was in a hurry, and she looked terrifying, and Emperor Qiming sent three imperial doctors with the best medical skills to follow her. On the side of the Dongsheng Marquis Mansion, even the prince Tan Chen was guarding Congxue Yuan, not to mention Mrs. Hou Wen and Princess Rouyi.

Several of the most noble women in Beijing guarded the eldest princess of Yunping for a few days and nights, and the eldest princess woke up leisurely and slowly regained consciousness.

The lord of Huayang County saw that the eldest princess was gradually improving, and because of a bunch of trivial matters in the Guogong Mansion, she left Yi'er to continue serving in Jingdongshan, and she rushed back to the head of the Guogong Mansion. I never thought that when the lord of Huayang County Xu was taking care of the eldest princess of Yunping at night, he caught a cold, and when he returned to the Guogong Mansion, he fell on the bed and couldn't get up.

At this time, Yi'er couldn't stay in Jingdongshan, so she had to go back to the Guogong Mansion in a hurry.

This month, many noble ladies in Beijing have been infected with diseases, and some people in the court have been on the fold, and Emperor Qiming also attaches great importance to it, and the hospital is disinfected in the whole city, and it is equipped with preventive medicines, which are distributed by everyone. Since then, although the government has not said it explicitly, some people have spread rumors that there is a plague in Beijing, and since then, the people in Beijing have been panicked and everyone is in danger.

Fortunately, the city patrol guards responded in a timely manner, controlled the further spread of rumors with lightning speed, and strengthened day and night patrols in various streets in Beijing.

In the Guogong Mansion, the lord of Huayang County was sick and could not be a director, and finally Jiang Pei, the Duke of Ningguo, slapped the board and asked Yi'er to take care of the collapse in the mansion, and Mama Hu and other stewards assisted from the side.

Yi'er was also helpless, so she could only respond to it.

That night, Jiang You was worried that those stewards everywhere, relying on their qualifications, and bullying Yi'er when she was young, would be more neglectful, and she wanted to go to the Lishi Hall with Yi'er tomorrow to listen to those stewards and give Yi'er strength.

Yi'er smiled and said: "Ye also underestimates me too much, how can I say that I am also the princess of the lord, isn't it just a thing in the house, what's so difficult?" Besides, in Beikai before, in my county lord's mansion, I didn't ignore these things. ”

Jiang You said: "You little thing, you have a good heart, but you dislike it so much, this is the real kindness of the master and is treated by you as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

Yi'er smiled and hugged Jiang You's waist and said, "Ye is all for Yi'er's good, how could Yi'er not know?" It's just that the old man, if he meddles in the trivial matter of the inner courtyard, it will make people laugh if he can't keep it. Besides, these things are my own business, and I am confident that I can still deal with them, if I really want my lord to support me one day, needless to say, my lord will not be able to run away. ”

Jiang You took Yi'er into his arms with his backhand, and said, "Naturally, I don't worry that you won't be able to deal with those things, but I'm just afraid that those old minions ......."

Yi'er smiled: "I am the princess of the lord, and I am the serious master of this house, it is too late for them to stammer, is the lord still worried that they will throw their faces to show me?" ”
