Chapter 395: The Yellow Sparrow Follows (5)
The Qin family returned to the Taiwei Mansion, and sure enough, Qin Hao did not return to the mansion.
The housekeeper trembled for fear that the Qin family would take the opportunity to make trouble, but he didn't want the Qin family to just hum softly, and went back to his yard, although the housekeeper was curious, he was also relieved.
Qin Shi went all the way back to the room, then closed the door and rummaged around, but found nothing, she sat on the chair, suddenly a little sad, she realized that Qin Hao had not been back to her room for a long time, her fingers swept over the bed on the side, suddenly remembered something, found a brand new futon from the cabinet, and said loudly: "Yu'er, come in——"
Yu'er heard the sound and entered, and when she saw the Qin family holding the futon in her arms, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Madam, who are you?" ”
Qin Shi looked at the sky outside and said: "It's been a little cold these days, I remember that the bedding in the master's study is thin, you go with me and change this bedding." ”
Yu'er was puzzled in her heart, her wife came back from the palace, it was strange, the old man was not in the house, not only did she not lose her temper, but even cared about him.
When Yu'er was in a daze, the Qin family had already gone out with something in her arms, Yu'er came back to her senses and hurriedly followed, took the things, and went towards Qin Hao's study together.
Qin Hao's study was not far from Mrs. Qin's courtyard, and after only half a cup of tea, Mrs. Qin arrived outside the study, and when the guards saw that it was her, they first looked at each other, and then knelt down to say goodbye. Where did Mrs. Qin have the heart to pay attention to these people, she pushed the door and wanted to enter.
It was still a small guy who reacted very quickly, and stretched out his arms to stop: "Madam, the master is not in the house, and there is no one in the study-"
Yu'er frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "The master is not in the mansion, doesn't the lady know?" We have to go in to change the bedding for the master, and dare to stop the lady, it is really unsightly-"
The little guy looked embarrassed, then his eyes rolled, he stretched out his hand to take the things in Yu'er's hand, and said with a smile: "These rough jobs, where are the needs of Mrs. and Yu'er girl, just leave it to us." ”
Yu'er dodged away, Mrs. Qin's eyes became more and more cold, and she snorted coldly: "What, there are still places in this Qin Mansion where I can't go in and out at will?" Is it your lord's order to you, or do you not have me as a lady in your eyes? ”
The little guy was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Mrs. Qin pushed the door of the study and went in with Yu'er, and when the little guy saw Mrs. Qin enter, he was a little panicked, and pulled the person next to him: "Go and find the master——"
When Qin Hao was found back to the house, he saw Mrs. Qin coming out of the study, Mrs. Qin's face was as usual, and when she saw Qin Hao rushing back, she glanced at the little guy standing in front of the door, and smiled slightly: "Why did the master come back?" But is the official business taken care of? ”
Qin Hao smiled wryly and said, "Madame is not feeling unwell, why did she come to my study?" ”
Mrs. Qin stepped forward and took Qin Hao's hand and said angrily: "The concubine is not feeling well, the master didn't say to come back to take a look, but the concubine came to the study, and the master rushed back, if it wasn't for the concubine who went in, I'm afraid I would think that the old man's golden house is hiding Jiao——"
Qin Hao only felt a slight chill on his back, and he withdrew his hand without a trace, and said, "What did Madam say, but his body is better?" I think the weather is going to be cold, so Madame should rest in the room. ”
Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Hao with some anticipation and said, "Then the master wants to go back to the room to rest at night?" ”
Qin Hao coughed lightly and said, "I still have some official business, so you go back to the room first, and I will let the small kitchen prepare some of your favorite dishes in the evening, and go to dinner with you." ”
Mrs. Qin nodded, obediently sent Qin Hao's hand away, and was helped out of the courtyard by Yu'er's support.
She kept walking, almost without even looking back, but Yu'er could feel that Mrs. Qin's hand trembled slightly, and Yu'er already said with a cry in her voice: "Madame-"
Mrs. Qin almost scolded: "Shut up, no one is allowed to say anything about this matter, although you have followed me for so many years, but if you say that you leak out, I can't keep you, do you know?" ”
Yu'er nodded hurriedly, lowered her head, hid the fear and panic in her eyes, and then asked softly, "Then what should we do?" ”
Mrs. Qin looked around quietly, and saw that the people around her who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping were looking towards this side without a trace, and when she saw her looking over, she looked away and pretended that nothing had happened.
Mrs. Qin held Yu'er's hand and walked slowly, and then Yu'er heard her say softly: "Let's talk about entering the palace tomorrow." ”
But she didn't wait until she entered the palace, because the next morning, she opened the door, and saw several armored attendants standing in front of the door, and only after asking did she know that Qin Hao was "worried" about Mrs. Qin's condition, and asked Mrs. Qin to stay in her room to rest, not to take half a step, and the maid Yu'er beside Mrs. Qin, because of poor service, has been locked in the firewood room, overnight, the Qin Mansion seems to have changed the direction of the wind, who would have thought that Qin Hao, who wanted to be afraid of the inside, could do such a thing?
Even Mrs. Qin didn't expect it, she was so angry that she threw out everything that could be smashed in the house, stood in the courtyard and said sharply: "Go, you go and find Qin Hao, I want to ask him, what did I do wrong?" If you dare to put me under house arrest, you are not afraid—you are not afraid that I will enter the palace and inform the Queen Mother of what he has done—"
The attendant's face did not change, and said: "The master ordered, if the lady smashed something, he would send exactly the same one, until the lady was angry, and now the situation outside is unknown, it is better for the lady to stay in the mansion, and don't cause trouble to the Qin mansion." ”
Madame Qin was choked by the attendant's words, she turned around fiercely and slammed the door shut.
Sitting by the door with some dejection, Qin Hao really made up his mind to do that thing, that big rebellious thing, if he failed, he would really be scolded by others, and he would be connected to the nine clans.
She slammed her hand on the ground, and it was only then that she realized that the strength she had always prided herself on was so vulnerable.
On this day, He Xi didn't wait for Mrs. Qin to enter the palace, she knew that something might have gone wrong, and the news from Jiang Li'er's side was not optimistic, she didn't see the Empress Dowager Xi today, and the reason for rejecting Mrs. Qin was the same as before, the Empress Dowager Xi needed to recuperate.
Even Ning Hong went, but was blocked out by Zike, and for a time rumors spread in the palace, some people said that the Queen Mother was terminally ill and would die soon, and some people said that the Queen Mother was cold to Her Majesty and the county lord, and wanted to find another monarch and choose a virtuous person.
But it seems that this rumor has not affected Ning Yu's mother and son, Ning Yu still went to Jiang Li'er's palace to talk to Jiang Li'er as usual, and went out of the palace from time to time to play around.
The court was also calm, Qin Hao rectified the army, killed decisively, and used ruthless methods, as if he had changed a person.
Ning Hong saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, as if he acquiesced.
And Ning Yi's side also seemed to be in a stalemate, his people worked hard to find those merchants, but they didn't want those merchants to know that the goods they were escorting were poisoned grain. It was also because of the large-scale outbreak of death that they hid because of their weak hearts.
Ning Yi didn't expect things to be like this, and after several tortures, he still found nothing.
And Zhao Yancheng, who ran around with Guo Ping all day to treat the people who were poisoned and injured, I don't know why, the situation that had been controlled once again changed. First, some people in the city had symptoms of fatigue and high fever, and then they vomited continuously until they vomited blood, which in severe cases was life-threatening.
This situation is getting worse and worse, and even the imprisoned sinners who are being supervised are slowly becoming such a situation.
Among them, Rambo's wife is like this, this woman was despised by Rambo before, and then her parents died suddenly, she was helpless, and her reputation was damaged, so she had to commit herself to Rambo.
At first, Zheng didn't like it, after all, she has always held her own identity, this woman was just from the countryside, and she couldn't be her daughter-in-law anyway.
However, Lan Zhili thought of Lan Bo's body, and Wei Hongsleeve did not leave a son and a half daughter for Lan Bo before, so he took the decision to accept this woman into the door.
And Rambo, who gives up on himself, either drinks or has nothing to do all day long, and when he drinks too much, he beats and scolds his wife endlessly, and the people around him can't stand it, but he is not nosy because of his feelings.
The exiles in Xizhou have hard labor to do every day, since Rambo married his wife, he no longer ignores it, on this day, Rambo's wife is working in the fields, only to see Zheng Shi impatiently threw the hoe in his hand on the ground and said: "The Great Calendar spends so much military salary every year to support these people, and now they are holding the court's money one by one, but they don't do anything, I want to go to Beijing to expose them!" ”
Xiao Lan heard that his mother-in-law was disrespectful, so she hurriedly put down the tools in her hand and stepped forward, and persuaded softly: "Mother, you dissipate your anger, those people are listening-"
The Zheng family looked down on Xiaolan's cowardly appearance the most, and shook her off and said angrily: "What if you hear it, they have done something wrong themselves, are they still afraid that people will not be able to say it?" If you're willing to do it, you'll do all these things, and I'll stop doing it—"
Xiao Lan was pushed by the Zheng family, only to feel dizzy, she couldn't help but look at the person in charge of supervising them with an unkind face, and scolded: "What's the matter? Do you want to be lazy? ”
Zheng's expression was dumbfounded, but Jiang heard the sound and walked over, and said with a smile: "Official, I'm really embarrassed, my sister has a bad temper, I apologize to you, we will definitely be able to finish these tasks, you can rest assured." ”
The soldier saw Jiang and Xiaolan's faces full of smiles, and he couldn't say anything, but muttered in a low voice: "I really think that I am the queen's mother-in-law, the court has changed, and I don't know where the confidence comes from-do it quickly, or you will suffer if you don't blame it-" The inch-long steel knife pierced his abdomen from the back waist.
This knife, which he knew, was clearly placed on the ground when he was happy with the Jiang family.
He turned his head in disbelief, only to see Jiang Shi standing at the other end of the knife, and there was still the fragility of Fang Cai in her expression, full of indifference and hatred.
The man seemed to be a little puzzled, but before he could ask, the knife in Jiang's hand was sent forward fiercely, and the man snorted, his body lost support, and he fell down softly.
Jiang Shi stood in place, only then came back to her senses, her hands kept trembling, the warmth of blood was awakening her reason little by little, she wouldn't let him tell the matter between them, if he didn't come to Xizhou, maybe it would be better to follow him than to follow Lan's gang, but when he came, he also promised to take her away, how could she let this person ruin her plan?
She forced herself to calm down, wiped the blood from her hands little by little, and dragged the man to a nearby bush.
But this is not enough, his death will soon be discovered, and if there is a desire to investigate, their relationship will soon be exposed.
Jiang's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and suddenly she remembered a person, as if she had made up her mind in her heart, and walked quickly towards home.
Xiao Lan's room was lit with a faint candle flame, Jiang pushed the door in, the candle was almost burned out, leaving a pool of red candle tears, as if it was coagulated blood, Xiao Lan took the medicine and slept deeply.
Jiang got up and packed Xiao Lan's clothes first, put them in the package, and then pushed Xiao Lan who was sleeping, and called softly: "Child-child-"
Xiao Lan woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Shi holding a package in his hand, Xiao Lan was taken aback and said, "Mother-in-law-"
Jiang Shi made a silent movement, and then said in a low voice: "It's too late to explain, let's leave tonight, I've packed up my things, you leave with me-"
Xiao Lan was puzzled in her heart, the matter was so urgent, but more than that, she was full of joy and excitement, she was about to flee from Rambo, fleeing from this place in the same area.
didn't have time to think about Jiang's words, so she forced herself to go out quietly with Jiang, and it wasn't until she reached the place where Jiang met the man that Jiang stopped.
Xiao Lan couldn't stop coughing and wheezing: "Mother-in-law-what about people?" Where's the person who picked us up? ”
Jiang Shi stretched out his hand and pointed to an inconspicuous dark place and said, "Where are the people—"
In the night, the place where Jiang pointed was hidden in the shadows, and she couldn't see it at all, Xiao Lan hurriedly took two steps forward, trying to see who the person was, but suddenly felt that someone was covering her mouth and nose from behind.
She struggled in fright, waving her hands constantly, trying to pull the man's hand away, but she was a sick person, and her blood was weak, and she didn't need half of her strength at all.
Jiang's expression was fierce and resolute, and finally, once, twice, three times.
The strength of the person in his arms became smaller and smaller, and in less than half a cup of tea, Xiao Lan's hand hung down weakly, and he lost his breath.
Jiang put her body and the man's body together, untied Xiao Lan's clothes, wiped some blood stains from the man's wound and wiped them on Xiao Lan's hand, and put the knife in Xiao Lan's hand.
After doing all this, Jiang left as if nothing happened.
Back in Xiao Lan's room, the sky was still gloomy, she looked at the scissors on the table, ruthlessly, and stabbed into her abdomen, but she controlled the strength and did not hurt the internal organs, and then she threw the scissors aside, covering the injured abdomen with her hand, the man's blood and her blood had long been mixed together, and she couldn't see anything strange.
