Chapter 436: A New Understanding
On the seventh night of the lunar month, He Cheng went home on time, saying that Jiang Zhan had only something to do and would come back later. He also said that the patient who had the operation was able to walk on the ground and that the wound was recovering very well.
When Lu Man heard about it, he was completely relieved.
Usually, after dinner, Mama Wang, Li Er, Duan Mama, Li's mother and others will receive the few meals that the master has not finished to the ear room, where they eat.
But these days, Mama Wang didn't collect the dishes and eat with them, but went to the kitchen to make some vegetarian food by herself.
Lu Man knew her thoughts, and persuaded her a few times, but she didn't listen, so she let her go.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and Jiang Zhanwei has not come back yet.
Lu Man's heart rose again. It's getting closer and closer to that day, is there a situation? She couldn't sleep, so she sat in front of the charcoal basin with her book, but in fact pointed her ears listened to the movement outside.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Zhanwei finally came back, and there was a carriage that came back with him.
Lu Man heard the movement and hurriedly walked out. Seeing that the person who got off the car was actually Xie Yu, he was directly invited to the wing room where He Cheng lived.
It must be that Gonggong Cai has a situation.
Jiang Zhanwei motioned for Lu Man to come over as well. He Cheng was reading a book, and when he saw several of them coming at the same time, he sent his subordinates away and personally served them tea.
Jiang Zhanwei whispered, "That person has already sent someone to deliver the letter, and he will go to Guangji Temple on the tenth day of the first lunar month to pray for the blessing of the Empress Dowager for three days......"
They had guessed in advance that the Cai Gong Guild would leave the palace under this pretext, and they had already made all kinds of preparations.
Lu Man played an important role in this play, that is, to treat that person, he had to go to Guangji Temple. Because of the heavy snow, the carriage is not easy to walk the mountain road, and the people under the mountain go up the mountain, either on foot or in a sedan chair.
Lu Man can only sit in a sedan chair, and she went up the mountain on the eleventh day in the name of going to the temple to ask for a child. He Chengchu returned to Beijing on the ninth day and brought Miss Liu to his home as originally planned......
Xie Yu said again, "The eldest princess of Changting, Lord Zhao, and my grandfather will come forward and find a way to invite the prince, Prince Shuo, King Hejun, Chen Cifu, Lord Qing of Dali Temple, Lord Zhu of the Criminal Department, and Lord Gonglu of Anguo to go at the same time, and Lord Jiang Houye will also go." ”
Among these people, there are clan relatives and important ministers in the court, and they are witnessed together, and they are not afraid of the Cai Gong Guild's repentance.
However, with so many important people, the play had to be successful.
Lu Man also raised objections to the invitation to Prince Shuo.
She said, "You also know that the poisoning of the prince involved not only the Queen Mother, Queen Wang and the Wang family, but also people waiting for the opportunity behind it......"
She talked about the poisoning of Prince Shuo's child at last year's purse banquet, "That incident, it may be that the child was really poisoned, or it may be that the heart is weak and tempted me." ”
Xie Yu said, "This matter has already been said by the Chief Pavilion Princess. We felt that the more suspicious Prince Shuo was, the more we should call him, and not let him suspect that we were aware. Rest assured, they won't know which one we're going to sing before the show starts. Prince Ruoshuo is really a yellow bird, and pulling the Wang family down may also be what he is happy to see. ”
Lu Man nodded, and couldn't help but say, "Inviting them there at the same time, won't it arouse the suspicion of others?" ”
Jiang Zhanwei smiled and said, "We have been arranging for a long time, and the excuse has been found ......."
After explaining Lu Man's work, let her go back to the house to rest, and the few people continued to hold a secret meeting.
Lying on the bed, Lu Man's heart was still beating wildly. Excited and scared at the same time. If this big case is successfully reversed, He Huang's grandfather and the Li family can rehabilitate Zhaoxue, Liu Xirui can come to the front of the people, and the court will experience a bloodbath.
If it doesn't work, Gonggong Cai will bite back, and it will be difficult to pull the Wang family off the horse. Moreover, he always has to find a scapegoat to take responsibility, and the source of the big case is that he found that evidence......
Jiang Zhanwei only went back to the house to rest in the middle of the night.
As soon as he lay down, Lu Man turned around and hugged him, and said in a low voice, "Third Master, it's okay that thing succeeded, but there will always be a chance in everything." If that doesn't work, will I be pushed out? ”
Jiang Zhanwei sighed and said, "I have already negotiated with them, if you fail, you will not be pushed out, it is me who will be pushed out." You don't know anything, everything is arranged by me. ”
Lu Man's heart tightened and said, "In this big case, you have worked the hardest and done the most. If you succeed, it will not be you who will benefit the most, it will not be the Li family, the He family, and the Xie family. If it fails, how can it push you out? ”
Jiang Zhanwei said helplessly, "It is impossible for us to push out the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Xie family, my grandmother, the eldest lord, and Lord Zhao, so I am the only one who can push them out." He felt her body tremble a little, hugged her a little tighter, kissed the top of her head and said, "Don't worry, we will arrange it seamlessly, and there will be no problems." If God doesn't make it perfect, if something really happens that I don't know, with their protection, I won't be okay. At most, he will be beaten with dozens of rods and sent to the black riot camp. In that case, I'll climb up again. ”
"But my heart aches." Lu Mandao.
She suddenly thought that he had earned a lot of military merit and came back alive, but the credit was discussed by the emperor and the eldest princess to share part of it to others. At that time, she still felt that the eldest princess had done the right thing, and she was afraid that Jiang Zhanwei would suddenly sit in a high position and lose herself. But now, she thinks from Jiang Zhanwei's point of view, it is unfair to Jiang Zhanwei to do that. Why, if he fails, he bears it alone, but when he gains it, he has to share it with others?
She grabbed him tighter, rubbed her face against his chest again, and said guiltily, "Third master, I'm sorry, I still thought that my grandmother was right to do that, I shouldn't have thought like that...... Why, no matter how things develop, it is always you who are sacrificed? ”
Jiang Zhanwei smiled bitterly and said, "The most common thing for the losing side to do is to lose the army and protect the commander." Only I sat higher, and it was someone else who pushed. ”
Lu Man was silent. He said it cruelly, but that's the reality.
Her heart ached. She suddenly had a new understanding, his love for herself was far stronger than her love for him, right?
Jiang Zhanwei felt the change in her and comforted softly, "Don't worry, we have already arranged it, and that kind of bad result is impossible." ”
Before dawn the next day, Xie Yu took the car and left.
At noon on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Lu Man received the news of He's pregnancy and was overjoyed. Hurriedly let someone go to the barracks to call He Cheng back, and asked him to go back to Beijing to visit He in person.
He Cheng was also very happy, and bought some supplements suitable for pregnant women in the town, and rushed to the capital. No one else noticed that one of his packages still contained dozing soybeans.
When He Cheng left, Jiang Yue pestered him to bring a letter to the old concubine, "Tell Taizu Zu Yue'er that he was bullied, let him beat Xia Fan and pull Xia Fan's hair." ”
Lu Man went over and pulled Xiao Nizi away and said, "Xia Fan has already returned to Beijing, and Taizu can't find anyone when he comes." ”
As soon as General Xia went out on business, Mrs. Xia took the children back to the capital.
Jiang Yue heard this, and had no choice but to give up.
