The next day, there was no news of the assassins breaking into the Qi Palace, and the whole palace was ordered to be sealed.
Qinglian was seriously injured and fell into a coma, but fortunately, the dagger stabbed half an inch and picked up a life.
The people in the palace were panicked, I don't know who was so bold to come to assassinate, did the assassin want to assassinate the king of Qi and the prince, Aunt Lian just hurt the pond fish, or did Aunt Lian have some ulterior secrets and cause trouble?
The assassin from the Qi Palace's Mansion was a high-ranking man, and he didn't even leave the slightest clue, and the people who went to check the Mansion afterwards didn't even know who discovered the assassin first. After checking for a long time, he didn't have a clue at all, and Li Jue was so angry that he slapped the table loudly.
The housekeeper trembled, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, when he was washing the eldest young master, the princess sent someone to search the inner courtyard, and the reason was that Aunt Pang's maid found that a suspicious man's back flashed in Aunt Lian's courtyard, and the man was nowhere to be found like an assassin. reminded Li Jue.
"You mean, this isn't the first time?"
The housekeeper nodded, "Could it be that someone has a grudge against Aunt Lian that makes him want to kill?" β
Daring to go to the palace to kill people without being discovered is not something that ordinary people can do.
Li Jue felt that Qinglian must have something to hide from him, so he called Qinglian's two maids to ask why, and Qinglian was still unconscious.
Just when Li Jue was in a dilemma, Zhou Danniang came, and after sitting for a while, the steward in charge of the carriages and horses in the outer courtyard talked back and forth, saying that Qinglian had been using the coachman to confess that there was a period of frequent outings last year, and it was the same since three months ago, that is, before the Beihu delegation left Beijing.
"Aunt Lian seems to have been pregnant around that time, and I guess I went out of the house to ask for a prescription at that time." Zhou Danniang sighed, "The recipe she asked for from the Liu family worked, and she finally gave birth." I have become like this again, and I am also a miserable person with many disasters and difficulties. β
"Yes, the coachman said that Aunt Lian went to the Hidden Nunnery in the west of the city twice when she went to borrow it back to Shangguan Mansion."
Li Jue's peach blossom eyes that discharged indiscriminately on weekdays rarely showed a solemn look, and his eyes were instantly obscure, "Go and send someone to check the hidden cui hermitage." β
Zhou Danniang lowered her head. The corners of his lips curled into a triumphant smile.
Qingdai knew about last night's incident from Chen Xuan's mouth, and secretly thought, she originally wanted Chen Xuan to scare and scare Qinglian, so that Zhou Danniang could use an excuse to teach her a lesson, but she didn't expect that the people behind Qinglian also did it at the same time last night, which was really a coincidence.
"Who do you think my second sister will be the prince?"
"It can't be King He and King Zhong, King Qi and King Ning are more suspicious." Chen Xuan said after analyzing it himself. "Aunt Lian has already been punished, as for the rest, I still leave the rest to the last general, you can rest assured!"
Qing Dai knew that Chen Xuan would not talk to him again, and chuckled: "Well, but you went last year, and the people over there also did it, whether it was a coincidence or for other reasons." You'll have to keep a snack. β
Three days later, Qing Dai received the news from Chen Xuan. Qinglian woke up, but was placed under house arrest by Li Jue in a secluded courtyard behind the Qi Palace, and let out the wind that Qinglian was seriously ill. I'm afraid that the people in the house will be sick. Qing Dai didn't care, and it was reasonable that the Qi Wangfu would have such a reaction after the assassination. And two days later, Chen Xuan came the news again, Li Jue found out where Qinglian and the distant nephew of the Liu family had a very close relationship, and took someone to torture him for a day and a night, and the person admitted that he had a relationship with Qinglian. As for Qinglian's son, he was obtained after using medicine to design Li Jue. It was from him that the medicine was obtained. On that day, he washed three banquets, and he mixed into the inner courtyard to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money.
Zhou Danniang did it. It's not in vain that he added fire to her. After listening to Chen Xuan's reliable news, Qing Dai only felt that Zhou Danniang's trick was very good, and she didn't let the man admit that he was an adulterer, but said that he was a conspiracy, but where would the conspirator easily know the location of the inner courtyard where Qinglian lived, and then let the subordinates spread two "rumors" that were out of shape, and then when they were transmitted back to Li Jue's ears, I was afraid that Li Jue would even have doubts about whose seed his son was.
Qing Dai smiled lightly, second sister, I am afraid you didn't expect that you had just escaped the threat of death, but what you were facing was the result of losing your glory and wealth.
In February, Li Jue planned to send Qinglian to Zhuangzi outside the city to recuperate. Cuizhu secretly heard the news and told Qinglian as soon as possible.
Qinglian panicked, if she didn't have the protection of the Qi Palace, wouldn't she die faster? No, even if she wants to be placed under house arrest, she has to stay in the Qi Palace. Qinglian grabbed Cuizhu's hand, "Find a way, send a letter to the family, and let my aunt find her father to think of ideas." β
"I'm afraid that the master doesn't have that ability...... Cuizhu said worriedly.
Qinglian's heart was like a wave, and she murmured with a wry smile: "Of course I know that if there is a disturbance at home, maybe the Qi Palace's reputation will leave me in the mansion, as long as I stay in the mansion, even if I live in this courtyard for the rest of my life, it is better than losing my life." β
"Well, the slave saved." Cuizhu nodded, "Why don't you go to the two aunts and wives?" β
Qingqiang and Qingdai, Qinglian never thought about it, "Daddy's intervention is justified, eldest sister, she is always separated by one layer, and where does the Meng family have such a face that makes Qi Wangfu look at it differently." As for the third sister, I'm afraid she won't help me, if I let my grandmother and father talk about it, maybe there will be a chance. β
"What do you mean?"
"Go and send a message to your aunt, your aunt should understand what I mean, and she will definitely think of asking the family to beg the third sister to help."
After Qinglian finished speaking, she glanced outside the house again, "Where is Ruizhu?" Why do I feel like I haven't seen her for two or three days? β
Cuizhu's eyes flickered, and finally she said under Qinglian's forced gaze, "That day, she was called by the prince and the princess for questioning, and admitted that she saw that man in the courtyard that day...... The day before yesterday, she was transferred by the princess to the eldest young master's room as an errand boy. When Rui Zhu left, she said that she went to the eldest young master's room, and she would definitely help you take good care of the eldest young master, and wait for you to come back. β
Qinglian's face was extremely pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, very good, what a loyal servant to the Lord, haha!" Zhou Danniang is so good at her ability that she actually pulled that cheap hoof over. Eat what is inside and outside, and I will make you look good in the future! β
Qinglian scolded and scolded, and Cuizhu hurriedly said: "The slave maid went to report to the house!" Without waiting for Qinglian to speak, she turned around and ran out.
Looking back at the door, hearing the scolding in the room getting louder, Cuizhu shook her head and sighed, and started again. My aunt hasn't stopped these days, and she can't stop scolding for a while at first, it's really a crime!

Princess Duanyang set Qing Dai's ceremony on March 15, postponed for two months, and Qing Dai had to go to Wang's house to make a post. Then he turned back to the hat alley to see the old lady Shangguan, and went to Qingwei to watch the ceremony.
"Third sister, I haven't seen you for a few days." Qing Dai was talking in the old lady's room, and Qing Wei rushed in from outside like a gust of wind and threw herself into Qing Dai's arms, "Brother-in-law is not here, and you won't come back." I thought you had forgotten about me. β
Qing Dai smiled and touched the head of the child in her arms, "I can't forget you Nizi, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but the word has grown taller, and the appearance is becoming more and more handsome, in another two years, I don't know how many people will be fascinated!" β
Qingwei glared at Qingdai. Yigulu withdrew from her arms, and said angrily: "Third sister, you have learned badly!" Don't bring such a bully! β
"I'm telling the truth. I'm looking forward to my sister growing up as much as possible, is it wrong? β
The apricot eyes were wide open, and she turned her face away angrily. His cheeks were red, and he snorted: "Ignore you, wait for Ming'er to come back, and let him take care of you!" β
The old lady of Shangguan looked at the two sisters amused, and said with a smile on the side: "Dai girl, your mouth is getting more and more slippery!" Don't forget. Why are you here today? β
Qing Dai clapped her hands. took the post from Zhu Yun's hand and handed it to Qingwei, "I owe it to my grandmother to remind me." I almost forgot about it. I'm here to send you a post. Originally, in the first month, a serious illness was delayed, so I'll come over and give you a post today, and I will make up for it on the fifteenth of next month. β
Qingwei took away the invitation, "Yes, my mother and I went to the Hou Mansion to see you, but the eldest sister said that you were too sick, and the imperial doctor said that you should recuperate, and the Hou Mansion also released a message not to disturb you." But now I see that you look good, and your body is better? β
"It's all right." Qingdai was afraid that Qingwei and her grandmother would continue to ask, so she hurriedly said, "You have accepted the post, and people must arrive!" β
Qingwei nodded, "Don't worry! For such a big thing, I'm going to congratulate you. β
The two talked to the old lady for a while, and Shangguan Hong came, followed by the Liu family.
Qingwei immediately quieted down, stopped laughing with Qingdai, sat up straight and pretended to be a lady. Qing Dai politely said hello and sat down by herself, directly ignoring Liu's glance of goodwill.
Shangguan Hong nodded at Qingdai, "Just when you came back, I have something to say to you for my father." β
Qing Dai looked at Shangguan Hong, but did not speak, and sat there waiting for him to speak.
Qing Dai's attitude of ignoring her made Shangguan Hong a little angry, but thinking that things were tricky, she could only see if Qing Dai could think of a way, so she asked patiently: "Do you know that something has happened to the Qi Palace?" β
"Huh? Did something happen? Qing Dai pretended not to know, "Two days ago, I met Princess Qi in the princess's mansion, and I saw that her old man looked good, not like there was something going on in the house?" β
Shangguan Hong saw that Qingdai didn't know, and felt more and more that there was something ulterior in the Qi Palace, so he would pull Qinglian to take the blame, but Qinglian lost power, and if it was passed out, he would inevitably be affected.
"The Qi Palace's Mansion broke into the assassins some time ago!"
"Oh?" Qing Dai was a little curious, how Qinglian asked the house for help, and asked the Liu family to move Shangguan Hong to ask her for help.
Shangguan Hong told Qing Dai about the incident, and an assassin wanted to assassinate the king of Qi and the prince for some secret reason, not wanting to go to the wrong place, hurting Qinglian, and almost losing his life. However, Qinglian Fu had a big life and picked up a life. It's just that Zhou Danniang secretly made it bad and took the opportunity to frame Qinglian. The prince wants to send her to Zhuangzi outside the city, which is actually a disguised abandonment of house arrest.
"Your second sister just gave birth to a child, and they listened to the words of outsiders and wanted to send your second sister away, but I am afraid that it is not as simple as it seems. The Qi Palace's Mansion sent away your second sister in order to conceal the assassin's incident, so this incident can be treated as if it never happened. Your second sister is leaving, but outsiders still make a mistake to her, and it will also affect our Shangguan Mansion. You are now in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi, and Shulan is making meritorious contributions on the front line, and your words carry more weight than others. This time, you have to do your part to help your second sister! β
"Yes, the third grandmother, the second aunt and grandmother, she gave birth to the eldest son in the palace, if it weren't for the jealousy of the princess and the princess, she did such a thing to slander her, and now her status in the palace must be a hundred times stronger than before. The second aunt and grandmother have a high status and can speak, and you sisters can help each other in the future. β
Help Shangguan Qinglian? Qinglian stubbornly guarded the secret and refused to say, how do you want her to help her? Besides, she didn't want to help her!
Qingdai didn't speak, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, as if mocking and disdainful, "I can't help with this!" β
Liu Shi was anxious in his heart, "Qinglian was confused in the past and did a lot of wrong things. But the third aunt and grandmother, for the sake of seeing you, ask the third girl to help Qinglian! β
With that, Liu knelt down for Qing Dai.
Qingdai was a little stunned, and then heard Shangguan Hong shouting angrily: "Shangguan Qingdai, you are married to a good family, but you have the blood of the Shangguan family in your bones, and your family is in trouble, so you really can't save yourself when you die, and you can't be wronged by seeing your second sister?" If the Shangguan family is ostracized by the Qi Wangfu because of this matter, and the days go by, you will also be sad in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. β
The scumbag father does not change his life, and he has such an attitude of begging people, which is blunt and rigid, as if he is giving an order. At this time, because Liu knelt down, his family did not agree to refute his face, and he began to go crazy.
"Liu's hurry up, what kind of system have you become like this! Go, lift people up! Those who know say that you are a woman, and those who don't know think that they forced Qingdai to save Qinglian. The old lady of Shangguan spoke, and the Liu family was stunned, not daring to kneel anymore, and let the maid help her up.
"What do you mean by being angry with your child like this?"
Shangguan Hong was dissatisfied with his mother's reprimand, "Mother, if Qingdai regards herself as Shangguan's family, she shouldn't have rejected it so thoroughly." She didn't try it, how did she know it wouldn't help? She didn't take this home into account! β
Qing Dai looked at Shangguan Hong and laughed angrily, "The affairs of the Qi Palace, but I heard Qinglian's words come back?" Did Dad really figure out what was going on? The assassin had the ability to visit the palace at night, wasn't it premeditated? If it was premeditated, would it go to the wrong place? There are so many people in the palace of the king of Qi, and they can't assassinate the princess and the princess, why would they assassinate Qinglian? As far as I know, there are many concubines in the palace who are not from her good background. Have these fathers ever thought about it? There are some things that you better not get involved in! β
Looking at the thoughtful Shangguan Hong and the shocked Liu, Qing Dai snorted coldly: "I'm here to see my grandmother today, it's not too early, I should go home." β
After speaking, Qing Dai saluted the old lady again and said, "I'll come back to see your old man another day." β
"Go back, go back!" Seeing that the trouble was like this, the old lady of Shangguan knew that Qingdai was not happy, so she didn't keep her anymore and sent her away.
Qing Dai turned to Shangguan Hongfu and looked at Liu, "Auntie, it's not that I didn't give her a chance, it's just that she didn't agree." β
"That ......"
"Auntie, you don't have to say more, it's too late to say it now, farewell!"
Today, I completely fell out with Guan Hong, and the above Guan Hong's character of wanting to save face and suffer sin will not easily give up his son to beg her after this incident. It's better this way and saves a lot of trouble! As for Shangguan Qinglian, suffer the sins you created!
Qing Dai walked out of the gate of Shangguan Mansion and did not look back at it again, in Shangguan's family for all these years, this family has nothing worthy of her nostalgia except for her grandmother and little sister. In the future, her home will be Hua Shaoyan.
Seeing a ray of glow flying out of the western sky, Qing Dai said softly: "Hua Shaoyan, when will you come back?" β
