Chapter 426: The Old Truth
Jiang Yutang saw that Ping An sent Lan Jing'an to the Jiaofang Palace, so he planned to say goodbye and leave. Lan Jing'an stopped him, told Su Mei to close the door, and guarded the two of them outside.
Lan Jing'an sat on the top, remembering that she was still sitting here this morning, listening to Siying telling stories to the girls, and couldn't help but pinch herself to regain her attention. She pointed to the opposite side of the long case and said to Jiang Yutang, "Sit down." Jiang Yutang sat down as she said, worried in his heart, not knowing what she commanded.
Lan Jing'an said softly: "How long have you and I known each other?" Jiang Yutang was a little surprised, but she didn't expect her to talk about this: "The minister is fortunate to have known His Highness for ten years. β
Lan Jing'an looked at him directly: "I still remember the first time I saw you in the Rejuvenation Hall, you were kind-hearted, and it was not enough to treat the child, but you actually paid for the mother and son, leaving the child in the hospital." The second time was in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, you helped me treat my illness and kept it secret for me. After so many years, not to mention Doctor Jiang and Aunt Jiang, I will lose count of how many times you have treated me. β
Suddenly, she changed her words: "It's just that I've known each other for ten years but I don't know each other." Jiang Yutang, I can't see through you. You are a healer, but you are not willing to heal the sick. You are cold on the outside, but you are the hottest on the inside. You are respectful and submissive, but you have a lot of ideas in your bones. You have always respected the rules, but you have flouted the rules of etiquette. β
"I guess the reason why you like Su Mei is probably because she is the side you want to show to the world the most, simple, kind, beautiful, and warm like the spring breeze in March. Maybe only with her can you forget your inner self and make yourself look like you want to be. β
Jiang Yutang's face gradually turned white with her words. Lan Jing'an sighed: "It's a pity that tonight you once again leaked the side you didn't want to face. That being the case, I must ask clearly. You hide it from me, you help me, tell me everything. Jiang Yutang, I don't want to know those things from other people's mouths. I want you to tell me for yourself what kind of person you are. β
The tone of Lan Jing'an's last sentence was not heavy, but it was like a drum in Jiang Yutang's ears. What kind of person is he? Jiang Yutang lowered his head and thought secretly. Lan Jing'an didn't rush him, just waited for his answer. After a long time, Jiang Yutang slowly spoke: "What His Highness wants to know, the minister can't tell the truth." It's just that what His Highness needs, the ministers will do it for His Highness at the cost of their lives. β
Lan Jing'an was not disappointed, on the contrary, such a talent was something she could trust and rely on. She pondered for a long moment before she spoke again, "You're protecting someone else. Let me guess that there are other people besides Your Majesty. β
When Jiang Yutang heard this, his face turned three points pale. Lan Jing'an stared at his face and continued, "It seems that this secret has something to do with her as well. She didn't ask a question, but in a calm and affirmative tone.
Jiang Yutang only felt that the gaze of the person in front of him fell on him like a sharp sword. Maybe those legends are true, this great priest who can communicate with the gods really has the divine power to control people's hearts. Jiang Yutang got up and took a step back, kowtowed to Lan Jing'an to apologize: "Your Highness, if you want to hate and punish, only one minister is enough." β
Lan Jing was shocked in his heart, what had happened in this Jiaofang Palace, was it so serious? Even though she was extremely tired, she still desperately turned her mind and thought about the past. Lan Jing'an asked him casually: "Why do you hate?" And for what reason? If you don't want to take the initiative to say it, I can't force you. However, Somei is now outside the door. β
"Sumei!" Lan Jing'an suddenly shouted, and Su Mei in the courtyard heard Lan Jing'an calling her, so she hurriedly walked to the door.
"Your Highness!" Jiang Yutang's voice was abrupt and eager, and before Su Mei entered the door, she heard his voice, she was startled and hurriedly pushed the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lan Jing'an looking at her calmly, and said, "I'm thirsty." β
Su Mei was still wondering why Jiang Yutang was bowing his head in front of the case, but she heard His Royal Highness say that he was thirsty, and she found out that the palace people in Jiaofang Hall did not prepare water. Su Mei nodded, and said softly: "Your Highness, wait a minute." With that, he closed the door and went out again.
Lan Jing'an withdrew his gaze from Su Mei and put it back on the person in front of him. Jiang Yutang's heart was about to jump out, he didn't regret what he had done, but he really couldn't let Ah Mei take any risks. His Royal Highness is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, and if Ah Mei loses His Highness's protection, he doesn't know if she can bear it.
"Look up." This was the second time Lan Jing'an had said this in just two hours, and she was really tired of the situation in front of her. Jiang Yutang raised his head, only to see Lan Jing'an looking at him with pity: "Since you are embarrassed, how about I only ask three questions today?" You don't have to make a sound, just nod or shake your head. After that, talk about it someday. β
Jiang Yutang was obviously relieved, and responded softly: "No." Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. β
"The matter of Jiaofang Hall can be related to Emperor Yan Kangdi of the previous dynasty?" Jiang Yutang saw that her first question hit the nail on the head, and he had to sigh that she was delicate. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
Lan Jing'an's hand was folded in his sleeve and he asked the second question softly: "This matter involves human life?" Jiang Yutang only hated himself for the promise he had just asked, and he twisted his head to the side, not wanting to recall the events of the year. Lan Jing'an finally saw him nod, and her palms clenched tighter.
"Morning dew... Princess Ayuro didn't die by accident? When the last question came out of Lan Jing'an's mouth, it was almost indissolvable.
Princess Chaolu, what a beautiful title, the most flattering to that cute little girl. "Nian'er is not sick, why should she drink medicine?" Jiang Yutang especially remembered the puzzled expression when she tilted her head and asked this sentence. He was speechless, but she automatically made an excuse for him: "Did my mother ask you to come?" If so, I'll drink it, but you have to remember to ask your mother to come and see Nian'er. Meeting her shining gaze, he also slowly closed his eyes like this, and nodded lightly with difficulty.
Lan Jing'an, who was staring at him, also closed his eyes after seeing his imperceptible movements, and opened them for a long time, and said softly, "You can go." Jiang Yutang got up from the ground with cold hands and feet, wanting to say goodbye, but he couldn't open his mouth. He shook his head and turned away.
"It's Your Majesty..."Lan Jing'an's voice made Jiang Yutang stop, and just when he hesitated to turn back, the second half of Lan Jing'an's sentence floated over: "It's okay." β
Jiang Yutang could no longer face Lan Jing'an at this time, and he hurried out. Su Mei outside the door was holding the tray, and the blood on her face had also faded completely. The two looked at each other deeply, Jiang Yutang opened his mouth, didn't say anything, and went to the hospital alone.
Su Meikun stood in the doorway, staring stupidly in the direction he was heading. What exactly is true and what is false? Will he be okay? Su Mei's heart was like a mess.
"You don't need to bring water, you can change the wine." Su Mei was startled, and the tray in her hand almost fell to the ground. She turned around and found Lan Jing'an standing behind her, looking at her meaningfully.
"Your Highnessβ" Su Mei snorted, but she didn't know what to say. I'm tired, Sumei. I need to rest. Lan Jing'an didn't let her continue: "You find someone to bring two jars of wine, and then you go back to the Xuande Hall as soon as possible." Remember, there's a lot to do tomorrow. β
Su Mei looked at His Royal Highness, who was always overcoming obstacles and fearless, with a gloomy and aggrieved expression, and a sad feeling came up again. Lan Jing'an saw Su Mei looking straight at herself, and only said softly: "Don't think too much." β
Su Mei didn't know if His Highness was comforting her or numbing herself. She nodded and turned away.
