Chapter 118: Quarrel?
After such a toss, it was already dark, and Jiang Qingyue couldn't stay here for the night, so he stood up.
The second prince seemed to know that she was leaving, and his eyes were a little gloomy, but he still showed a smile: "It's not early, Qingyue should go back early." ”
Jiang Qingyue nodded, she glanced at Liu Min, and then smiled at the second prince and said, "You have a good rest, I will come to see you in a few days." ”
Liu Min couldn't help but show a wry smile, he knew that Jiang Qingyue was saying this to him, which meant that don't think that she could continue to snub the second prince if she left, she would come to visit from time to time.
The second prince didn't care about his situation, but he was very happy to see Jiang Qingyue often.
The second prince stretched out his hand and shook her hand, looking at her expectantly: "That's okay, you have to come to see me often." ”
Liu Min's eyes narrowed, and fell on the hands of the two of them, and his eyes almost popped out.
Chen Baobao couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and showed a mocking smile.
Jiang Qingyue didn't feel anything, after all, they were brother and sister, and she knew it now, and the second prince also knew about it, so in fact, they were half-brothers and sisters, so naturally they didn't feel anything ambiguous.
Jiang Qingyue nodded: "Okay, I know." ”
Jiang Qingyue turned around and walked out, and Liu Min and the others immediately followed.
As soon as Jiang Qingyue left, the housekeeper said happily: "In this way, His Highness's life will be much better." ”
The housekeeper still feels sad, obviously he is the pride of the sky, but he has to live such a life under the fence.
The second prince curled the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Yes, it's so good." ”
Jiang Qingyue walked out of the Second Prince's Mansion, and Liu Min immediately said, "The prince wants to go back to the mansion?" I'll send you. ”
Jiang Qingyue shook his head: "I'm not going back, I'm going to enter the palace." ”
Liu Min immediately stopped talking, how to say? People can enter the palace without being summoned through a summons, they can go in if they say they go in, the emperor is eccentric, what can he do? Jealousy doesn't come.
When Chen Baobao heard her words so lightly, a trace of jealousy flashed uncontrollably in his eyes.
At this time, Jiang Qingyue glanced at Chen Baobao and said lightly: "Although I don't know your purpose, but this time you came to me and told me the situation of the Second Highness, I still want to thank you." After a pause, she raised her eyes and looked at Chen Baobao: "But don't think about the other thoughts in your heart." ”
After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, he strode away regardless of Chen Baobao's stiff expression.
Chen Baobao stared indignantly at the back of her leaving, and the anger in her eyes seemed to be the favored princess at the beginning.
Jiang Qingyue went directly into the palace and went to the imperial study, Xiao Fuzi was stunned when he saw Jiang Qingyue, this was the first time Jiang Qingyue entered the palace so late, and just wanted to meet her, he saw that her face didn't seem to be very good.
Jiang Qingyue endured the anger in his heart, and let people spread it, and soon Zhou Ruian agreed to see her.
Jiang Qingyue walked into the imperial study, and Zhou Ruian smiled when he saw Jiang Qingyue: "Qingyue, you have never been to the palace so late, but do you miss me?" As he spoke, he looked into her eyes with a smile.
Jiang Qingyue took a deep breath before he said, "I'm here for the affairs of His Second Highness." ”
Zhou Rui'an's expression faded, and he sat on the dragon chair, unconsciously exuding a majestic aura on his body.
"Oh, he, what's wrong with him?" Zhou Ruian asked lightly.
Jiang Qingyue was dissatisfied with the disapproval in his tone, and frowned tightly: "What's wrong with him?" He is a dignified prince, and when he is sick, he doesn't even have a doctor, and those Diao slaves even commit the following crimes! ”
Zhou Ruian couldn't help but laugh a little: "I didn't make him sick, and I didn't support him for his subordinates to snub him, what does it have to do with me?" As he spoke, he looked at her innocently.
Jiang Qingyue was choked by his words, she pursed her lips, "You promised me to treat him well." ”
"Qingyue, please be reasonable, with his identity, I can tolerate him to live, how do you want me to treat him well?" Zhou Rui'an's face sank slightly: "You don't know, right?" How many folds have I received that made me cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”
Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips, of course she knew that the identity of the second prince was too sensitive, maybe someone would use his identity to make trouble in the future, and more importantly, Zhou Rui'an himself was the most typical example, if Emperor Xuande had killed Zhou Rui'an early in the morning, he would not have taken the throne now.
Because of this, Zhou Ruian was actually very jealous of the second prince, but he still didn't kill him, Jiang Qingyue knew that a large part of the reason was because of her.
Jiang Qingyue was silent, but Zhou Ruian glanced up at her: "Qingyue, do you know, I have been thinking about the two of us, I want you to be my queen, I have been arranging it, even if this matter is not easy, but because it is for the two of us in the future, I think it is worth it." After a pause, he continued, "But have you really considered us?" Is it a half-brother to you who is more important than me? ”
Jiang Qingyue was stunned by the question.
Zhou Ruian smiled bitterly and said abruptly: "That's it, I shouldn't ask this question, maybe you have already given me the answer." ”
Jiang Qingyue was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "This is the reason why I don't agree, you all think that I am a half-brother and sister with him, so I care about him very much, how can you guarantee that you will not suspect me in the future?" ”
Zhou Rui raised his head and stared at her sharply.
This was the first time Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue with such sharp eyes, Jiang Qingyue raised his head and looked back at him without dodging.
After a long time, Zhou Ruian said in a deep voice: "It turns out that you think of me like this? ”
Jiang Qingyue turned his head, "I didn't think much of you, but it's very possible, isn't it?" After a pause, she continued: "Even if you don't think so, what about your minister? Will they tolerate the daughter of a former emperor to be your queen? ”
"What do you have to do with them?!" Zhou Rui'an suddenly said angrily: "My queen, it's not the turn of others to make irresponsible remarks!" At the end of the day, it's just that you don't want to! You don't want to marry me, that's why there are so many reasons! ”
Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips and didn't answer, in fact, she didn't know, probably because she really felt that she didn't have confidence, and maybe, it was really like what he said, she didn't want to marry him.
It's just that this kind of unwanted thought doesn't even know where it comes from.
Xiao Fuzi stood outside the door with a worried face, Jiang Qingyue entered the palace, he was quite happy, but at this time, hearing the sound from inside, it was obviously not a good thing, could it be that the two quarreled? He panicked!
Xiaofuzi misses Luobei very much at this time!
Just when Xiao Fuzi was thinking about when Luo Bei would come back, the door of the imperial study suddenly opened, and Jiang Qingyue walked out of it with a gloomy face, without even looking at him, and walked out directly.
Xiao Fuzi instinctively spoke: "Jiang Guard......"
"Let her go!" Zhou Rui'an's angry voice came from inside.
Xiao Fuzi's voice stopped abruptly, and he was extremely worried, what should he do now? He didn't want to go in at all, but his duty was that he had to go in!
Xiao Fuzi had a bitter face, and reluctantly walked into the imperial study, and looked at Zhou Rui'an cautiously: "Your Majesty? ”
Zhou Rui'an's face was even more ugly than when Jiang Qingyue left, his eyes were full of anger, and suddenly he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it out!
Xiao Fuzi was so frightened that he shrank a little, after he came to Zhou Rui'an's side, it was the first time he saw Zhou Rui'an lose his temper so much.
The news that Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue broke up soon spread, and the first person to get the news was Zhang Qi.
On this day, when Zhang Qi was on duty, Zhao Qiang ran over with a happy face.
"Good news, my lord! Good news! Zhao Qiang said happily.
"What is it that rejoices so much?" Zhang Qi raised his eyebrows and asked.
Zhao Qiang showed a mysterious smile and said to Zhang Qi: "My lord, I am overjoyed!" Yesterday, Jiang Qingyue angered Sheng Yan and was angrily reprimanded by His Majesty and driven out of the imperial study! It seems that the day when she will fall out of favor is not far off! Isn't that a joy for adults? ”
Zhang Qi's expression was correct: "Is this true? ”
"Naturally, take it seriously! The brother on duty yesterday told me, then can there be leave? Your Majesty has lifted the table! It can be seen that he is not lightly angry! Zhao Qiang continued.
Zhang Qi hooked the corners of his lips, Zhou Ruian has always been calm and introverted, and his joy and anger are invisible, and he can make him lift the table, it can be seen that he is really angry, it seems that Jiang Qingyue is angry with His Majesty.
"Good, well done! I have seen your hard work, and I will not forget your benefits. Zhang Qi patted Zhao Qiang's shoulder and said diligently: "When Jiang Qingyue leaves in the future, I will take care of this position of commander for you." ”
Zhao Qiang's eyes lit up, and he looked overjoyed, he rubbed his hands: "Hehe, where did the adults say, it is an honor for the subordinates to be able to work for the adult's filial piety." ”
Zhang Qi bowed slightly, turned around and left with a relaxed smile, Zhao Qiang looked at his back and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
On this day, Zhang Qi was stopped when he left the palace on duty.
Zhang Qi looked at Chen Baobao in front of him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
When Chen Baobao was still Princess Ningyang, she was obsessed with Zhou Ruian, and Zhou Ruian was annoyed, which Zhou Ruian's subordinates knew.
In Zhang Qi's opinion, the arrogant and domineering Princess Ningyang is naturally not worthy of their wise and martial master, and later Princess Ningyang fell out of favor and it was impossible to marry Zhou Rui'an, and they were all relieved.
Now that Princess Ningyang has become a commoner, Zhang Qi still feels very happy.
Seeing Chen Baobao in front of him at this time, Zhang Qi frowned, and said unhappily: "Get out of the way!" ”
"Commander Zhang made great contributions to His Majesty, but in the end he was overwhelmed by a Jiang Qingyue and couldn't raise his head, is Commander Zhang really willing?" Chen Baobao suddenly spoke.
Zhang Qi's expression was abrupt, he was indeed dissatisfied with Jiang Qingyue, but he didn't want people to know, especially not to reach Zhou Rui'an's ears, but the question was, how did Chen Baobao know?
Chen Baobao seemed to see through his thoughts, and a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth: "Commander Zhang doesn't have to be curious about how I know, don't worry about my intentions, I have no malicious intentions," after a pause, she continued: "After all, my intentions for His Majesty are known to everyone in the capital, I have always been in love with him, sincerely, and will never do anything to harm him!" Commander Zhang can rest assured! ”
Zhang Qi is not at ease! It is Chen Baobao's deep love that is the most unassuring!
"As the commander of the Ouchi guard, I am responsible for guarding His Majesty's safety, and I will not sit idly by and ignore everything that may endanger His Majesty!" Zhang Qi said, narrowing his eyes: "What are your intentions?" ”
Chen Baobao's expression was awe-inspiring, he looked at Zhang Qi and said, "I'm here for Your Majesty!" After a pause, she continued: "Of course, it's also for the future of Commander Zhang!" ”
Zhang Qi smiled noncommittally, now that Chen Baobao is just a civilian, can he still manage his future? It's really unashamed.
Chen Baobao saw his disbelief, and he was not angry, but lowered his voice: "Has Commander Zhang ever heard 'Jun Mochou'?" ”
Zhang Qi's expression suddenly froze!
Most of Zhou Rui'an's trusted henchmen know 'Jun Mochou', especially Zhang Qi has been working in the palace before, except for the task at that time, there is only one thing that can override the task, and that is the clues related to 'Jun Mochou'.
Zhang Qi is no exception, this is what Emperor Xuande planted for Zhou Rui'an when he was young, every time Zhou Rui'an has some bad thoughts, he will have an attack, and he will be in pain, and then Zhou Rui'an gradually began to control and even get used to this pain.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Qi is convinced of Zhou Ruian, he has always felt that Zhou Ruian can survive even such pain, and there is nothing in this world that he can't do.
Zhou Ruian really didn't disappoint him, but 'Jun Mochou' has always been a hidden danger, they have been lurking in the palace for so long, and they have tried to find it many times, but there is no news.
If there is no way to solve 'Jun Mochou', for Zhou Rui'an, it can be said that he has solved a big trouble.
Now that Chen Baobao actually took the initiative to mention this matter, Zhang Qi thought that Chen Baobao used to be Emperor Xuande's favorite daughter, and she had a deep love for Zhou Rui'an, maybe she really knew something?
If he can solve 'Jun Mochou' for Zhou Rui'an, then it will naturally be a great achievement for him, and when the time comes, why should he be afraid of a Jiang Qingyue?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qi looked at Chen Baobao with suspicion.
Seeing his solemn eyes, Chen Baobao hooked the corners of his lips: "How about Commander Zhang, are you willing to find a secluded place to talk to me?" ”
Zhang Qi didn't speak, just followed silently.
Jiang Qingyue said that he wanted to see the second prince, so he would never break his promise, and went to the second prince's mansion the next day, and the guarded Jinyi guard was told by Liu Min to be careful to avoid when he saw Jiang Qingyue, they Jinyi Wei could walk sideways all over the capital, but when he saw Jiang Qingyue, he definitely wanted to go around, nothing else, he just couldn't afford to provoke him.
Zhang Qi knew the news of Zhou Rui'an and Jiang Qingyue's quarrel, and Liu Min naturally knew that he didn't think Jiang Qingyue had fallen out of favor, what he thought was that Zhou Rui'an was so angry that he flipped the table and didn't move a finger of Jiang Qingyue, which was not enough to explain the problem?
Is that reluctant? So much so that I'd rather sulk in my life than say a heavy word to her.
Therefore, the angle of looking at the problem is very important, and the two have different views on the same thing, which also leads to different fates for the two in the future.
When Jiang Qingyue arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion, Jinyiwei immediately got out of the way, and someone diligently went to open the door for Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Qingyue walked in with a step, just in time to meet the housekeeper decocting medicine for the second prince.
"Childe is here? His Royal Highness will be very happy to see Childe! The butler said happily.
Jiang Qingyue walked side by side with him: "How is His Highness's illness?" ”
"It's already much better, according to the old slave, the son is much more effective than these decoctions, as long as you come to visit His Highness a few more times, His Highness's illness will definitely recover as soon as possible!" The housekeeper said happily: "Speaking of which, thank you to the son, the last time the son had a few slaves, and now these slaves don't dare to slack off!" ”
Jiang Qingyue moved the corners of his lips, "It's me who should thank him." ”
The housekeeper's expression darkened slightly, and while the two were talking, they had already arrived in the courtyard of the second prince, and the two walked in.
The second prince's complexion is indeed much better, at least more energetic than the last time Jiang Qingyue saw him, and now he can get out of bed, and he is standing behind the table practicing calligraphy at this time.
The housekeeper walked over with a frightened face: "Ouch, my good highness, is you sick, why did you go to the ground?" Hurry, go lie down first. ”
The second prince gave Jiang Qingyue a helpless look, but he still lay down on the bed with kindness.
Jiang Qingyue hugged his arms and said, "It seems that His Highness's complexion is good, so I can rest assured." ”
The second prince smiled at her: "That's because when I see you, my mood is better, and when I am in a good mood, my illness will be better." ”
Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, she always felt that something seemed wrong with what she said, but when she thought that the two were brother and sister, she didn't care too much.
The housekeeper interrupted the conversation between the two with the medicine, and the second prince had no choice but to drink the medicine first.
Jiang Qingyue looked at the housekeeper's nervous look and couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the smile on her face, the second prince couldn't help but be a little ashamed: "Don't mind, the housekeeper is just too worried about my body, so it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous." ”
The housekeeper said: "Now His Highness has nothing left, only this body is left, the old slave can no longer let His Highness spoil his body, the old slave will definitely watch His Highness live a long life!" At the end of the day, he couldn't help but redden.
I have to say that the queen's vision for choosing people is still very accurate, and the people sent to her son's side are all capable and loyal, even if the queen is down now and the second prince is grounded, but the housekeeper's attitude towards the second prince has never changed.
Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Actually, I envy you a little, no matter what time it is, there are people who care about you unconditionally, this is the real blessing." ”
Needless to say, there were many people who wanted to please the second prince, and there was a wise and intelligent mother who planned for him, but now he had nothing, and there was a loyal slave who was planning for him on the side.
Jiang Qingyue felt that this was the greatest luck among the misfortunes of the second prince.
The second prince smiled lightly, and then said, "I heard that you had a dispute with Your Majesty?" As he spoke, he said with some concern: "But because of me? Qingyue, don't quarrel with Your Majesty for me, I know you for my heart, but I don't want to destroy the relationship between you and Your Majesty because of me. ”
Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed, and he asked suspiciously, "How do you know that I quarreled with Your Majesty?" ”
The second prince did not panic in the slightest, and said as a matter of course: "Don't you know? Jin Yiwei is very concerned about your movements, and when they were chatting, they were overheard," he chuckled: "Since you attacked those Diao slaves last time, the people sent this time are all eager and diligent, and they are worried that they will be beaten out by you again, so when they hear a little news, they can't wait to repay me, probably because they feel that I am too boring and lonely to be trapped in this house alone." ”
Jiang Qingyue immediately let go of the doubts in his heart, and locked a good young man in the house, and there was no possibility of seeing the light of day again, how cruel is this?
Jiang Qingyue felt that her questioning just now was a bit excessive, and she couldn't help but say: "It's okay, you don't have to care, Your Majesty and I are fine, in fact, it's not for you." As she spoke, she frowned: "It's still because of my identity." ”
"Does he want to make you his successor?" The second prince said clearly.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Qingyue didn't wonder how he knew, but the housekeeper on the side widened his eyes in shock, and looked at Jiang Qingyue in disbelief: "You, you, for the queen?" ”
The second prince and Jiang Qingyue glanced at each other, and a smile flashed in their eyes, Jiang Qingyue is woman's business, and the housekeeper didn't know it yet.
"Okay, housekeeper, you go out first, I have something to talk to Qingyue." The second prince said with a smile.
The housekeeper didn't want to leave, he looked at Jiang Qingyue several times in shock and hesitation, how could he not have imagined that this elegant and cold young man in front of him was actually a woman?
Fortunately, don't worry that their Highness is broken!
The housekeeper walked out, and Jiang Qingyue sighed: "How do you know?" ”
"Isn't it natural for a man to love another woman and want to marry her home?" The second prince smiled and said: "In my opinion, Your Majesty's thoughts on you are not only simple and deep, but also very affectionate, so it is natural for him to want to marry you." ”
Jiang Qingyue nodded: "He did mention this matter, but I ......"
"But you still have a lot of concerns, don't you?" The second prince asked directly.
Jiang Qingyue sighed: "You know everything." As she spoke, she looked at the second prince: "Do you think I should marry?" ”
"This question shouldn't be asked to me, it should be asked to yourself." The second prince said with a smile: "If you really want to marry, you won't ask me this question, you yourself are not sure, so you want outsiders to give you a positive answer and deepen your confidence, am I right?" ”
Jiang Qingyue found that he couldn't answer his question, because it was very likely that he was right, and the biggest reason for her was that she didn't want to, so many worries were actually more like an excuse.
