Chapter 102: Ancient Tombs on the Outskirts of Beijing (2)
Jiang's eyes kept looking at Lan Ruo above, there was no wave in his eyes, he seemed to say something that had nothing to do with him, and it seemed that he couldn't see the sadness in Lan Ruo's eyes, Lan Ruo pointed to the door and said loudly to Qiao'er: "The words of this palace, you can't hear it!" Send the second lady out of here! Qiao'er seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly got up from the ground, hunched over and walked towards Jiang, and whispered: "The second lady will say a few words, and please ask the eldest lady or the prime minister to talk about this matter." β
Jiang's feet seemed to have roots, and he looked at Lan Ruo and said: "Although I don't like you, but you are also my biological daughter, after all, blood is thicker than water, if something happens to your father, it will inevitably affect you in the harem, Lan Xin, whether you want to prevent or use, it is up to you, but you must know that only if your father stands tall in the front dynasty, you can sit back and relax in the harem, no matter what kind of fox you are, you don't want to climb on your head, you don't want to admit it, but you have to admit it." Just like me, I have to take advantage of the glory you bring to me. β
After speaking, she didn't care what kind of look Lan Ruo had, turned around and left, Jiang's pace was extremely fast, and her heart was very chaotic now, because of Lan Ruo, because of Lan Zhili, because of Zheng, and even more because of Zhao Yancheng.
Thinking of this name, Jiang's footsteps paused suddenly, and Qiao'er, who was following behind Jiang's quickly, almost bumped into it, forcibly stopped her steps, and said with an unsteady breath: "The second lady shouldn't be angry with the mother today, the mother has been bitter in her heart for so many years, but the mother has always been strong, and the second lady also knows, why are you bothering?" β
Qiao'er seems to really can't understand, there is really such a ruthless mother in this world, and she treats her daughter so ruthlessly, Jiang's didn't talk, Jade reprimanded, naturally she didn't dare to say a word more, several people were speechless all the way to the palace gate, Qiao'er saluted slightly: "Second lady, the slave maid is sent here, and please think about what the slave and maid said." β
Jiang nodded, and got into the carriage with the help of jade.
Qiao'er saw Jiang get into the carriage, turned around and wanted to return to Weiyang Palace, but was stopped by the little eunuch on the side, and the little eunuch said, "Sister Qiao'er is coming back from the palace on errands?" β
"What?" As soon as these words came out, Qiao'er couldn't help but be stunned, she turned around suspiciously, the little eunuch just wanted to get close, but he didn't want Qiao'er to react like this, he just thought that Qiao'er didn't want others to know that he was out of the palace, and the little palace maid before said too much, thinking about this, he couldn't help but secretly hate himself for talking too much, seeing that Qiao'er was waiting for his answer, he couldn't help but gently smack his mouth, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm really confused." Sister Qiao'er pretended not to hear anything, and the slave looked stupid when she watched the door. β
Qiao'er only felt that this little eunuch was a little inexplicable, she glared at the little eunuch arrogantly, ignored it and left directly.
Jiang Shi returned to the mansion, did not go back to his own courtyard, went directly to Lan Zhili's study, only to see Lan Zhili in front of the pile of accounts sent by various stewards, the center of the eyebrows because of the perennial frowning, leaving a deep trace of Sichuan characters.
"Masterβ" Jiang stood outside the study and saluted gently.
Lan Zhili saw that Jiang Shi came back from the palace so quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward in three steps and two steps, took Jiang's hand, and introduced Jiang into the study, he said softly: "It's raining heavily outside, and it's cold, why don't you ask Jade to add a cloak to you, your body is already weak, what if you are sick." β
Jiang lowered his eyes, quietly withdrew his hand, knelt on the spot, and said: "The concubine is incompetent, and the concubine can say everything, but the queen mother prefers the lord or the eldest lady to enter the palace." β
Lan Zhili was originally still in a somewhat excited mood, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on Jiang's head, and his warm expression suddenly dissipated without a trace, and he squeezed out a few words from his teeth word by word: "What did you say?" You repeat! β
Jiang Shi just lowered her head, she repeated it as it was, and before she finished speaking, she heard the sound of something falling, and those account books were fluttering and scattered in front of her, and she heard Lan Zhili's roar: "Does she still want me, a father, to beg her to fail, is it true that I can't solve this matter without her?" β
Jiang Shi didn't say a word, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't dare to say anything.
Lan Zhili has not disappeared, and even implicated the Jiang family: "They are all good daughters you taught, and the family is unfortunate!" What are you still doing on your knees? Don't get out yet! β
Jiang could only kowtow, get up, and slowly retreat.
The lights in the Prime Minister's Mansion were on all night, and there were often people in a hurry, coming in and out.
The rain lasted for a few days, and finally there was no intention to stop, and the floods in the Shuzhong area were heard to be getting more and more serious, and Tuoba Chen gave everyone three days, which became two days, and today was the last day. Teach him to read, the ugly child came in with a happy face, and it happened that Ruyi went down to get pastries for Tuoba Lin, she hurriedly stepped forward and whispered something in He Xi's ear.
He Xi's movements in his hands also didn't stop, and he still maintained the action of feeding Tuoba Lin, but his eyes were full of smiles and said: "You tell Uncle Liang to be careful in everything, and don't be discovered by Tuoba Yue's people." β
Chou'er nodded again and again, and said softly: "Uncle Liang has not come forward in this matter, even if His Royal Highness King Xian investigates, he will not be able to find our heads." β
He Xi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Uncle Liang, I am naturally relieved, okay, you can go down and play with Lin'er." As soon as she heard that she was going to play, there was a flash of brilliance in Lin'er's eyes, and she stretched out a little white arm to hug Chou'er, and Chou'er hurriedly took it, and suddenly, she said in a somewhat heavy tone: "Little master, if we are in the future, this big prince-"
He Xi opened his eyes as if evading, and said: "He has his own place where he should go, we and him are just passers-by in life, we can't stay, we can't stay, okay, let's go down first." β
The ugly child hugged Tuoba Lin and saluted, then retreated, He Xi got up and looked at the rain curtain outside, the wind blew in from the window lattice, blowing a travelogue in front of her case, He Xi reached out and took it, it was to explain the customs of this continent, and what he saw was Xiliang.
Ruyi came in in the rain, took the food box in his hand, and saw that the eldest prince was not there, so he put the food box on the table, and said: "This rain really doesn't stop, Fang Cai slave maid went to the imperial dining room to get pastries, and happened to meet the little eunuch of the Yangxin Palace, he said that His Majesty has been staying directly in the imperial study for several days, and the situation is very urgent." β
He Xi came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Ruyi, and said softly: "It's just right, I'm going to leave the palace tomorrow." Prepare a men's outfit for me. β
Ruyi was a little dazed, and said after a while: "The slave knows, the little master is not early today, so let's rest early." He Xi just waved her hand, lightly saying that she knew, and continued to be in a daze.
At this time, in the Xianwang Mansion, Tuoba Yue was looking at the secret newspaper in his hand, and said with a somewhat puzzled face: "We didn't get the restaurant sold by Prime Minister Lan?" β
Yue Qi nodded and said: "It was bought by a mysterious rich businessman, I heard that it was a high price, our people went to check, it was just a salt merchant, Xu is the ancestor of Yinde, although it is not rich and rivals the country, but it is also very important, if it is not for this shot so generous, it must not attract everyone's attention." β
Yue Qi told the news he found out 1510, Tuoba Yue always felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he couldn't think of it, he just groped for the silky soft hem of his hand and was silent.
"What has Liang Qi been doing lately?" Tuoba Yue suddenly spoke.
Yue Qiyi was stunned and asked tentatively: "Does the prince suspect that this matter is related to Miss He Xi?" But Miss He Xi is now in the palace, and only we can contact her, she may not know about this matter, even if she does, Liang Qiyuan is in Jiangnan, how can she grasp such a good opportunity? β
Tuoba Yue's face became more and more condensed, put down the secret report in his hand, and said to Yue Qi: "Tell me to go down, find someone to keep an eye on Liang Qi and the rich businessman, and if you find any clues, you will return immediately." β
Yue Qi was ordered to go out, and met Xiao Nai at the door, Xiao Nai did not bring a maidservant, and personally carried a tray, on which was a steaming soup cup, and when he saw Yue Qi come out, he said with a smile: "Brother Yue is inside?" β
"The prince is here." Yue Qi looked at Xiao Nai through the soup cup, the dense mist, he always felt that Xiao Nai seemed to be something different, when she was in southern Xinjiang, she was also so happy and funny, but now she is obviously laughing, but that smile makes Yue Qi feel like a man.
He quickly found an excuse to leave.
After Yue Qi left, the smile on the corner of Xiao Nai's mouth slowly drooped, she took a deep breath, readjusted her state, and knocked on the door.
"Brother Yue, Nell has brought you soup." Xiao Nai tried to make his tone sweeter.
But what she didn't want to respond to was the deathly silence, she listened attentively, and could even hear the sound of the pages turning in the room, so subtle, that her own words, the people in the room must also hear clearly.
She couldn't help but feel aggrieved in her heart, her eyes were red, she took a deep breath, and said again: "Brother Yue, are you- don't you want to see Na'er?" β
There was a choked voice in her voice, and her voice was already soft, so that it was like the charming pear blossom, hanging down in the rain.
The door creaked open, and I saw Tuoba Yue wearing a snow-white brocade robe, standing in front of him, as if - like a touch of moonlight falling on the world.
Xiao Nai's tears couldn't hold back any longer, she lowered her head, and the tears fell on the tray in her hand one by one.
