Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Man Committed Murder Late at Night, but Nearly Lost His Own
Just as An Ge was about to continue to ask him why he killed him about last night's incident, the man opened his mouth first and said, "You, why?" ”
An Ge was very surprised, frowned and asked, "What why?" I'm supposed to ask you why, right? I don't even know you, and you're going to kill me again and again! Shaoxia, even if you want to kill me, give me a reason, okay? ”
"You, save me, I, I'm going to kill you." The man had a tense face and spoke intermittently, An Ge was stunned for a long time, and then thought about the first sentence he just said, and then asked him tentatively: "Are you trying to ask me, why did you kill me, but I still saved you?" ”
The man still grimaced and nodded.
"Because I want to know who I have offended, and why that man sent you to kill me." An Ge sat up straight, he was still a little afraid of him, but after falling asleep last night, he didn't do anything to her, presumably he didn't have any murderous intentions towards him for the time being. Coupled with the fact that he was injured at the moment, An Ge felt that he had the ability to escape from him, so he was no longer afraid of him, and said in a bluff, "Let me tell you, now that the emperor and the queen are protecting me, who dares to kill me?" Beware of setting yourself on fire! But if you tell me who is behind the scenes, I will let the emperor not kill you! ”
"......" The man listened to An Ge's words, didn't say a word, but suddenly stood up, picked up the clothes hanging on the back of the chair not far away and put them on himself, and after putting them on, he suddenly turned around again, clasped his fists and said to An Ge, "Yuan Qilu, another day, repay the favor." ”
"Yuan Qilu? Your name is Yuan Qilu? Seeing that he was leaving, An Ge also suddenly wanted to stand up and follow him to continue to ask, but she sat and slept all night, and when she got up at this moment, she found that her legs were extremely sore when she moved slightly, and she hurriedly stood firm on the chair handle.
Yuan Qilu turned his head and saw her frowning, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away with a wooden face, and whispered: "Stupid." ”
When An Ge heard this, she laughed angrily, and she was surprised: "You say I'm stupid? Who tripped and fell on their knife last night? I'm still curious about how you did it, how did your knife stand up when it was flat on the ground? ”
Yuan Qilu's cheeks actually showed a flush, as if he was a little embarrassed, he was silent for a long time, and he said silently: "On the road, there are seams, and the back of the knife is stuck in." ”
"......" No matter how Rao is able to speak well, An Ge has nothing to say this time.
But this also made her understand a truth, stupidity and bad luck can really kill herself.
And Yuan Qilu was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to notice that his feet were numb, and he didn't plan to step forward to help him, he raised his hand and hugged his fist, and then turned his head and left directly without waiting for An Ge to speak.
An Ge wanted to stop him, but at this time, the doctor who treated Yuan Qilu's injuries yesterday came in from outside, and said with a chuckle: "Girl, that strong man has a really good foundation, after stopping the bleeding with medicine last night, he only rested for more than an hour, I think he will be alive this morning, if it is someone else, he will have to lie down for at least ten days and half a month." ”
An Ge woke up in the middle of the night last year, and before he could thank him properly, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, doctor, that is also your good medical skills." ”
"I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, the main reason is that I used high-grade hemostatic medicine......" The old doctor with kind eyebrows and white hair said polite words for a long time, and finally got to the point, "When the young man left, he also took some medicinal herbs, and I wiped the girl with a fraction, and the girl gave me two taels of silver." ”
"He left without paying? He is a brocade ......" An Ge angrily finished halfway through his words, but in the end he still closed his mouth and didn't say more.
What's the use of debating with other doctors here now? People don't owe her, so they got up in the middle of the night and worked until now, but the injured person left without giving money, so he could only ask her.
An Ge gritted his teeth, and now he can only admit it and pay two taels of silver.
There are too many places to spend money during this time, and the money and rewards she took in the previous month are basically used up, but fortunately, she will be issued again after three days, and this time it is still according to the new method, she should be able to receive a lot.
But Yuan Qilu is really too much! Not only will they kill her, but they will also extort her money!
The next time I see him, I'll definitely find a way to clean him up!
After coming out of the medical hall, An Ge hurried to the mansion, and before he reached the door, he saw that Liu Pingle had already rushed over from there, and pulled An Ge up and down for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief and said with concern: "What are you doing in the palace?" You didn't come back all night, did you sleep in the palace last night? ”
An Ge shook his head, and hurriedly pulled her into the mansion: "The queen mother just explained some words to me last night, and they didn't embarrass me. It was late when I came out, and I didn't go back for fear of disturbing your rest. ”
As the two spoke, they had already entered the side hall, and An Ge saw Zhang Lianfeng, who was pale on the side, and greeted him in a normal tone: "Lord Zhang, I came so early today." ”
It was naturally early, she was inexplicably brought into the palace last night and released again, Zhang Lianfeng was so frightened that she couldn't sleep, always worried that the queen would know about her pretending to be An Ge, and she wouldn't be able to keep her head. She hid from her son and daughter and cried all night last night, and even made a suicide note in the morning, saying that she asked her brother to find a good family for her sister, and the dowry for her sister was also packed and put in the box under his bed, and after sending her sister to get married, the rest of the family property would be her brother's.
After writing this suicide note, she found a place to hide it, planning to take out the suicide note and hand it to her son as soon as she heard something, and then resolutely went to die......
Unexpectedly, now An Ge actually came back in a dignified manner, and greeted her so calmly...... What's going on here? The emperor was so angry at the beginning, he didn't kill her, didn't she find out that she was impersonated?
Zhang Lianfeng couldn't figure it out, and she was very worried in her heart, but she couldn't go over to her and take the initiative to inquire...... If you take the initiative to inquire, wouldn't An Ge know that she brought Jinyiwei to the door last night to arrest her?
was struggling, Zicui arrived, the steward sent her to the side hall with a smile on his face, and hurried to the study to inform Liu Yongxu to come out to greet her.
After Liu Yongxu also arrived, Zicui didn't wait for him to be polite, so she said in front of everyone present: "Director Liu, I am here to pass on the queen's message, urging Lord An to investigate Concubine Hui's case as soon as possible, and give Niangniang an an explanation within three days." ”
When An Ge heard this order, he mainly came to himself, and hesitated: "But this case is the ...... that Governor Tan is mainly responsible for."
Zicui glanced at her and chuckled, "So is Lord An the queen's mother, or does he listen to Governor Tan?" ”
An Ge frowned slightly, although she had never lived in the palace, but seeing the attitude of the people in the harem towards Zicui, she also knew what Zicui's status was, even if she crossed Tan and Bai to find out the case now, Tan and Bai probably didn't dare to do anything to her, just ...... Even if you don't dare to do anything on the surface, you have to hold a grudge in your heart.
Even if you are careful and don't want to offend people, you have to offend now.
An Ge hurriedly said: "Xia Guan understands, and he will definitely give a reply to the queen mother as soon as possible." ”
Zicui nodded with a smile, and when she looked away, she inadvertently swept Zhang Lianfeng, Zhang Lianfeng also met her slightly cold eyes, and was suddenly so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, and when Zicui left, she sat on the stool as if she had been drained of all her strength.
Liu Yongxu personally went out to see Zicui away, and Liu Pingle said to An Ge with some worry: "Why did the queen mother suddenly make this request?" Last time, I heard you say that Chief Tan has been inspecting for so long and has no clue at all, can you find out within three days? ”
"It should be about the same." An Ge nodded, fortunately, he went to investigate Concubine Hui's medical case without telling Tan and Bai before, and asked Father-in-law Yu privately about the day's affairs, and now he can finally take out some things for the queen.
Liu Pingle was relieved: "That's good." ”
She walked back to her place and sat down, and was about to start writing, Zhang Lianfeng really couldn't sit still, got up and walked to An Ge, and said with a reluctant smile: "An Ge, I heard that you entered the palace last night?" ”
An Ge was a little surprised, looked up and asked, "Has it spread so quickly?" Who do you listen to? ”
"I don't forget who mentioned it before......" Zhang Lianfeng sloppily confused, and then asked, "Is it the queen who summoned you or the emperor?" ”
"The emperor and the queen have seen me, and it's nothing, it's just that the article I wrote about General Jinglan last time made him angry, he entered the palace to sue me, and I was scolded by the emperor for a few words......" An Ge was still curious about who spread the news of his entry into the palace, and asked, "I only entered the palace at the end of last night, and it was so late at that time, only some people in the palace and the Jinyi Wei and Pingle who took me away should know that I entered the palace, who spread the news of my entry into the palace?" ”
Liu Pingle heard it on the side, leaned over and said, "It's not what I said, I stood at the door and waited for you as soon as I came this morning, and I didn't talk to anyone." ”
An Ge smiled at her, she naturally wouldn't doubt her.
"Gee, I really forgot, and I didn't care who mentioned it in passing. Besides, it's not an unsightly thing for you to enter the palace, what do you care so about? Zhang Lianfeng chuckled and covered her words, An Ge was about to defend herself either because she was afraid of something unseemly, or because she was curious about who said it, but Zhang Lianfeng didn't give her a chance, and continued to inquire, "Queen Mother...... Do you know that you are An Xingjian? ”
An Ge raised his eyebrows, feeling that Zhang Lianfeng's words were a little inexplicable, and said: "She didn't know that An Xingjian was me before, but she knew after I entered the palace." ”
"Then, the queen didn't say anything about me?" Zhang Lianfeng asked nervously with a tense breath.
An Ge became more and more strange, and shook his head: "No, ah......" What did she do?
"Oh, I'll just ask, you can write it quickly, and take it to the queen mother as soon as possible." Zhang Lianfeng patted An Ge's shoulder, chuckled and finished speaking, then turned around and returned to his seat.
In this way, the queen already knew that she lied and pretended to be An Ge, but why didn't she trouble her? She is ready to die, even if she doesn't die, she will be punished by the queen, and at the lightest will be removed from her position in the mansion, but why is there no punishment?
This was obviously a good thing for her, but it made her more and more worried......
