Chapter 445: Jiang Xian is poisoned
"Flat." When the emperor saw that Jiang Hejing stood up, he lowered his head, so he said, "Raise your head and show me." ”
Jiang Youjing raised her head slowly, even if she was not afraid of the emperor's gaze, which made the emperor can't help but have a good impression of her, after all, it is rare to see such a bold woman.
"You look quite peugeot, no wonder Prince Xin and King Ruxian like you." The emperor carefully observed Jiang Youjing's expression as he spoke, "I summoned you to the palace today just to talk about your marriage." ”
Jiang Youjing thought that the emperor agreed to her marriage to Qi Junqing, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but unexpectedly, the emperor said: "I intend to marry you to Prince Xin, I don't know what you want?" ”
"No." Jiang Youjing and Qi Junqing spoke almost at the same time to stop him. Qi Junqing felt out of his temper and stopped talking, but Jiang Hejing was honest with the emperor about his thoughts, "The people's daughter doesn't like Prince Xin, if the emperor insists on marrying the people's daughter to him, the people's daughter has no choice but to cut her hair and become a nun and never marry." Therefore, when it comes to marriage, please think twice about it. ”
"It's really an upright woman, so do you have someone you like?" Seeing Jiang Hejing dealing with her so calmly, the emperor couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
"Back to the emperor, the daughter of the people and King Ruxian are in love, and I hope that the emperor will be fulfilled." Jiang Youjing bowed, and although his voice was small, his tone was extremely firm.
"I have never seen a woman as frank as you, and I have given you a marriage to King Ruxian as you wish." The emperor saw that Jiang and Jing were so frank, presumably there was no ambiguity between her and Prince Xin, so he was relieved to fulfill the two.
"Emperor Xie!" Jiang Youjing and Qi Junqing knocked on Xie Longen, looked at each other and smiled.
Coming out of the palace, Qi Junqing sent Jiang and Jing back to Jiangfu, and the two did not speak all the way until they walked outside the gate of Jiangfu.
"I've arrived." Jiang Youjing muttered in a low voice, glanced at Qi Junqing, and reluctantly turned around and entered the house. But she hadn't taken a few steps before a crisp flute sounded behind her, and the flute sound was ethereal, melodious, and soft like a vermilion bird.
Jiang Youjing turned around and saw Qi Junqing holding the jade flute in her hand, holding the jade flute horizontally to her mouth, and her slender fingers tapped on the jade flute.
Qi Junqing slowly walked in front of Jiang Youjing and handed over the jade flute to her, "This jade flute has followed me for many years, and I will give it to you today, so it should be regarded as a token of love!" ”
Looking at the jade flute in his hand, Jiang Youjing nodded slightly, and then held the jade flute and ran into the mansion with light steps. Qi Junqing looked at her departing back and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth.
After Jiang Youjing returned to Jiang Mansion, he immediately went to ask Jiang Jing and the old lady for peace, and besides, the emperor had to inform them of such a major event as marriage.
"Say hello to my grandmother and father." Jiang Youjing bowed down, Jiang Jing and the old lady asked her to return to the Jiang Mansion, and a smile overflowed on her face.
"Jing'er is back!" The old lady got up from the chair, slowly walked to Jiang Youjing's side, and held her hand, her eyes full of doting.
"Jing'er came back this time because she had something to tell her grandmother and father." Jiang Youjing smiled slightly, "The emperor has just given Jing'er a marriage and promised me to King Ruxian." ”
"The emperor personally gave the marriage, this is a great joy, Jing'er is really a blessing!" The old lady smiled from ear to ear, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were all squeezed together.
"I'm going to ask the second aunt to prepare a dowry for Jing'er, let's marry a daughter in Jiangfu, or the emperor will give the marriage himself, but you can't be sloppy, you must be rich enough!" After Jiang Jing finished speaking, she retired and went to find her second aunt to get married.
The matter of Jiang and Jing being married by the emperor to Qi Junqing spread in the Jiang Mansion at once, and now the Jiang Mansion is busy working at this time.
"Why is it that Jiang Hejing has gathered thousands of favors since he was a child, but I am always treated coldly because I am a concubine!" Jiang Xian learned about this from her second aunt and became jealous.
"Now even the emperor wants to give her a marriage, and the object is still King Ruxian, who is above 10,000 people under one person!" Jiang Xian was so angry that she swept all the tea sets on the wooden table to the ground, "I'm not reconciled!" ”
"Jiang Youjing, I will never let you be satisfied, no matter what method you use, I will destroy this marriage!" Jiang Xian showed a vicious face, and thought of a person who hated Jiang Hejing as much as her, Li Meng, the daughter of General Li Hao.
Jiang Xian asked the maid to go to the Li Mansion to send a letter to Li Meng, informing Li Meng about the marriage given by the emperor, and inviting Li Meng to meet in the remote suburbs.
"You're here!" Li Meng came to the suburbs before the time agreed with Jiang Xian, because she couldn't wait to stop this marriage.
"What are your plans for Jiang and Jing being given marriage?" Jiang Xian asked straight to the point, she couldn't wait any longer, and she couldn't wait to find a way to make this marriage ruin immediately.
"The emperor said that since he has already opened his mouth to give marriage, there is no room for things to turn around." Li Meng said, and suddenly a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So if you want this marriage to not be carried out, the only way is to get rid of Jiang and Jing!" ”
"This bag of arsenic, you find an opportunity to mix in Jiang Youjing's meal, and send her to the underworld to marry the ghosts!" Li Meng reached out and took out a pack of poison from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Xian.
"This ......" Jiang Xian was a little hesitant, although she hated Jiang Youjing and wanted her to disappear from this world, but if she wanted her to kill people with her own hands, she was inevitably a little afraid.
"What? You're scared. Li Meng sneered, she saw Jiang Xian's thoughts, and knew that she didn't dare to start, so she deliberately stimulated her with the agitation method.
"Who's afraid? Just wait and see! I will definitely personally send Jiang and Jing to the Yellow Spring. Jiang Xian held the poison tightly in her hand, her eyes were full of murderous intent, and she didn't know that she had fallen for Li Meng's plan to "kill people with a knife".
"Idiot!" After Jiang Xian left, Li Meng sneered, not only could she get rid of Jiang Youjing without much effort, but even if she investigated afterwards, she couldn't find her.
After Jiang Xian returned to Jiang's mansion, she happened to hear someone say that Jiang Youjing was a little unwell, so she ate alone in the room tonight. She decided it was a great opportunity to do it, so she snuck into the kitchen.
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Xian took out the packet of poison and quietly sprinkled it on Jiang Youjing's meal. Looking at the poisonous food in front of her, she thought that everything was fine, and she couldn't help but rejoice in her heart.
"Second Miss, what are you doing here?" When Jiang Xian turned around and was about to leave, she happened to bump into Xiao Lu, a maid who came to deliver food to Jiang Youjing.
"No, it's nothing ......" Xiao Lu's appearance was unexpected by Jiang Xian, and she panicked for a moment, so she made an excuse and said, "I'm a little hungry, so I'm looking for something to eat." ”
"Second Miss, this is a meal for the eldest Miss, if you are hungry, you might as well go over there and get some steamed buns." Xiao Lu didn't doubt Jiang Xian's words, thinking that she just wanted to eat Jiang Youjing's food, so he told her where to find food.
"Okay, I'll solve it myself, you hurry up and send the meal to the eldest lady, don't delay, otherwise the food will be cold." After Jiang Xian sent Xiao Lu away, she hurriedly left the kitchen.
Xiao Lu sent the food to Jiang Youjing's room and retreated, Jiang Youjing happened to be a little hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat, but was stopped by Miao'er.
"Miss, wait!" Miao'er found that there was some fine white powder on the side of the bowl, so she stopped Jiang Youjing from eating, she reached out and dipped some powder, put it in front of her nose and smelled it, "Miss, this is arsenic!" ”
"Arsenic?" Jiang Youjing was surprised that someone was so vicious and wanted to put her to death! Miao'er picked up the poisonous food and was about to throw it away, "I can't eat these meals, I'll go and make you another one right away." ”
"Wait!" Jiang Youjing stopped Miao'er and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, "This meal can't be poured, this is the most important evidence to find out the person who poisoned it!" ”
"Miss, who do you think it will be? How dare you be so bold! Miao'er saw that Jiang Hejing's reaction was so calm, it seemed that she had known about the person who poisoned her.
"The one who can poison this meal must be the people of Jiangfu. And in this mansion, there is only one person who hates me to the bone and is so bold, and that is Jiang Xian. Jiang Youjing looked confident, she just didn't expect Jiang Xian to be cruel to her.
"Miss, what should we do next? You can't just leave it at that! Miao'er was angry in her heart, she had long seen Jiang Xian unpleasantly, and now she just caught her handle, and couldn't help but want to breathe a sigh of relief for Jiang Youjing.
"Miss Ben is not a person who is bullied and oppressed, and she will not be silent. This time, I must make Jiang Xian pay for what she did! Jiang Youjing's face showed a determined smile.
"What are we going to do, miss?" Although Miao'er was angry with Jiang Xian's behavior, she also knew that it was difficult to cure her crime without evidence now.
Jiang Youjing pointed to the poisonous food on the table, and already had an idea in his heart, "You immediately take this food and go with me to report to my father, just say that someone poisoned me." ”
"How can this be true? There are people who are so bold and bold to do such a vicious thing in my Jiang Mansion, and I must not tolerate this matter. After Jiang Jing learned that Jiang Hejing had been poisoned, she was furious.
"Father, since this person was able to poison my food, he must be from the house, and if he orders a search now, he may be able to find some clues." Jiang and Jing expressed their speculation.
"Butler! Immediately gather a few family members, gather everyone in the house, and then search all the places in the house one by one, as long as there is a little suspiciousness, you can't let it go, don't find out the person who poisoned the eldest lady today! After Jiang Jing listened to Jiang Youjing's words, she immediately asked the housekeeper to take someone to thoroughly investigate the whole house.
When the housekeeper received the order, he immediately began to search the whole house, and when Xiao Lu learned about this, he couldn't help but recall the situation when he met Jiang Xian in the kitchen, and suspected that Jiang Xian was not looking for food at that time, but poisoned the food.
But Xiaolu has no substantive evidence, and she is afraid that even if she comes out to testify against Jiang Xian, no one will believe it, and she is still the second lady of the two families, if she does not bring down Jiang Xian, then she is afraid that she will not have a good life in Jiang Mansion in the future. But even if she doesn't say it, I'm afraid Jiang Xian will have scruples and will definitely not let her go. She thought about it, and finally felt that only by leaving Jiangfu could she save herself.
