Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fooled Because You Trust Me!
After taking several bottles of pills brought by Qiu Jinglan in a row, although Qiu Yulan could speak, he was still lazy.
Shen Shui padded two hidden sacs to her to make her more comfortable, and she was about to retreat, but Qiu Jinglan shouted: "Have Mei Xue and the swing woken up?" β
Shen Shui trembled and replied: "The torturer is a little heavier...... I'm afraid it's hard to wake up today. β
Qiu Jinglan's face was ugly, and he was about to say something, but Qiu Jinglan said in a strong spirit: "You were so angry just now, the people below will definitely not dare to slack off...... Wait a day, just wait a day, doesn't it say that Ulanxiang is not deadly? "Mei Xue and the three of them have been betraying for a long time, and Qiu Jinglan's focus has always been in the eunuch field, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of.
This time, although because of the unexpected intervention of the autumn wind, they fell short and did not succeed completely. However, Qiu Nie still let the swing have enough back hands - although the Wulan incense used to restrain Qiu Tuolan is not fatal, it will always be paralyzed and unable to get up without an antidote.
And the antidote to the incense is the residue that is filtered out every time it is boiled.
So each serving of ulan incense antidote is different.
Now that residue is not on Mei Xue and the three of them at all, and they will not know until they wake up.
"It's not good for your health." Qiu Jinglan saw her speak, her expression loosened a little, waved her hand to let Shen Shui leave, and tested her forehead temperature, "No fever...... Fortunately, your body has been recuperating well in the past two years. β
Qiu Yulan was in no mood to care about her body now, and seeing that there were only two brothers and sisters in the inner room, she couldn't wait to ask: "Why are you hiding it from me?!" β
"......" Qiu Jinglan's expression suddenly became complicated and abnormal, and Liang Jiufang laughed miserably, "What face do I have to recognize you?" β
ββ¦β¦ Say it as if you're sorry for me. The corners of Qiu Yulan's mouth twitched, "You were only seven years old when you left, didn't you snatch my rattle?" β
She had the intention to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but Qiu Jinglan really nodded: "At that time, grandmother made you a rattle, and I took it into my arms when I left......"
Qiu Yulan was stunned - but listened to him continue, "On the way, I was found by the guards, snatched it and threw it into the pond. Later, I heard the news from the palace that I had drowned, and I thought that my grandmother was planning to do it......"
Speaking of this, he looked at his hands self-deprecatingly, "Grandmother is afraid of leaving clues, so I am not allowed to bring anything!" Even the clothes inside and outside have been changed into subordinates, but I think I have to bring something with meβin case I really can't come back, there must be something that reminds me of Xihe Palace, my grandmother, my mother, and you...... So when I got into the carriage, I asked the guards to go to the courtyard where my mother lived with you, and picked a 'mud gold annunciation' - but I didn't want my grandmother to still be at ease, and when I turned around, I ordered someone to shovel all those 'mud gold annunciations', so you haven't even seen this dowry of the mother concubine! β
Qiu Yulan was stunned for a long time before asking: "Are you afraid that the Empress Dowager Gu and the cold will be killed?" β
Seeing Qiu Jinglan nodding heavily, she said in confusion: "But why has Qiu Mengmin been safe and sound all these years?" Could it be that Empress Dowager Gu and Guo Shihan chose him in the first place? This is also not right, the person who Empress Dowager Gu wants to support is cold, since she has poisoned our father and the foreign family, why do you want to keep Qiu Mengmin here? At the beginning, they were all in the market, and it was much easier to die than my father! β
Qiu Jinglan said indifferently: "Although Empress Dowager Gu and Guo Shihan don't know that 'Tianya' is our family's, they know that our family still has a foundation that has not been moved. If they don't find out and eradicate it, they won't be able to sleep well! Therefore, keep Qiu Mengmin and them as bait......"
At this point, he suddenly whimpered, "I was the one who was trying to convince them that it was indeed me, grandmother...... After sending me off...... I took the poison myself...... My grandmother was still in the prime of life! She once said that she would watch me grow up and take the top exam, and she would also give me a future wife and choose a good husband for you...... She called me Little Mirror, called you Xiaoyezi, and said that the two of us are the eldest son and eldest daughter, and we will take good care of our younger brothers and sisters in the future, but when the bad news comes, we will not have younger brothers and sisters...... Just because I want people to think that our house is really dead, my grandmother died of despair...... She's ...... alive."
Seeing him raise his sleeves to hide his face, choked and speechless, Qiu Yulan's heart was sour, and he raised his hand to grab the corner of his robe with difficulty: "It's all over, this is all forced by the Empress Dowager Gu and the cold...... Can't blame you, can you? β
"You could have gone at the beginning!" Qiu Jinglan lowered his sleeves, his face was already full of tears, he lowered his head to avoid his sister's gaze, and muttered, "But grandmother is worried that if we all have an accident, it will arouse suspicion...... Decided to keep you...... You know what? Don't look at the swing's reckless appearance, in fact, this is because she herself does not learn well. In 'Tianya', she is more noble than many official ladies - if you had left with me, how could you have been wronged for so many years?! Autumn Romance...... Hey...... When Grandmother was here, she was not as good as a dog in front of us, and she dared to beat you to the ......."
"I was able to survive because my grandmother sacrificed herself and left you and your mother in the Xihe Palace...... Only then did he exchange for the unsuspicious attitude of the Empress Dowager Gu and the cold situation...... Even over the years, you and your mother have been treated more and more badly by Qiu Mengmin and them, and there is no instigation of Empress Dowager Gu and Shi Han behind them, in order to force me or 'Tianya' out! β
He stretched out his hand to press Qiu Yulan's shoulder, his face was pale, tears were raining down, but his eyes were empty and indifferent, and he said word for word, "So, why don't you blame me?" If it weren't for me, you should have grown up carefree under the care of your grandmother and concubine, just like Xue Langqing and Princess Chunfu, if your grandmother was here, even if Qiu Mengmin inherited the prince, how could she dare to disrespect you! The suffering of you and your mother is all because of me - what face do I have to recognize you?! β
Qiu Yulan has never seen Concubine Lian, or even Princess Ruan, and for these two, her respect is far greater than that of flesh and blood. But in the past two years with Qiu Jinglan, there is really a brother and sister relationship between the two, and at this moment, listening to Qiu Jinglan tell that in the past, her discomfort was more because she felt sorry for this brother: "But I'm fine now." Although my grandmother and my mother have gone, if we know that we are doing well now, I would be gratified. But seeing you grieve like this, I must be very distressed and uneasy! β
ββ¦β¦ I know they don't blame me, and you don't blame me. Qiu Jinglan said in a low voice, "But I blame myself." β
"You entered the Hanlin Academy at the age of eighteen, which shows how ruthless you have been studying all these years!" Qiu Yulan leaned on the crypt and sighed, "You still have to worry about the 'end of the world'...... How old are you? You have done so many things alone, and you have not been protected by your elders, and you have done a good job. I still say the same sentence: I only blame the Empress Dowager Gu and the ...... of the situation"
Speaking of this, she suddenly felt that the world was spinning for a while - she wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, struggled for a while, and finally it was dark in front of her, and she fell into the arms of Qiu Jinglan, who realized that something was wrong and came to help!
β¦β¦ When I woke up again, I felt as if someone was feeding me medicine. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Qiu Jinglan's face was a little paler, her eyes were even more bloodshot, but her eyes were extremely gentle, she was holding her on her shoulders, holding a bowl of medicine, and carefully blowing it cold and feeding it to her.
Seeing that she woke up, her expression was clearly relieved - at the same time, not far away, a weak and familiar voice sneered: "Look, people are awake, can you know that the antidote is true?" You can also take our antidote...... Will you let us go? β
Qiu Yulan heard the sound of the swing, subconsciously looked at her, and couldn't help but shrink her pupils - the swing at this moment completely lost the majesty when she was held hostage before, but like Qiu Nie who was brought over by Qiu Jinglan, except for one face intact, her whole body was blurred with flesh and blood, she was escorted by two guards to kneel at the door, and the corners of her clothes dripped blood from time to time, but she still stubbornly raised her head, her eyes were disdainful and unruly!
Sensing Qiu Yulan's gaze, she snorted on the ground: "You exchanged your life for the three of us to leave safely, plus 200,000 taels of silver tickets...... Hey, that's how valuable a daughter is! β
"It's not that the daughter of the concubine is valuable, but that I am valuable to my brother." Qiu Yulan thought that she was not thin on her, but she was almost planted in the hands of this seemingly cute and harmless "Sister Qiu", which naturally had no good words to reply to her, and mocked, "If you want to blame, you can only blame your brother for not being angry with my brother!" Not only can't he save you, but he wants you to save him! β
Qiu Swing obviously has a deep relationship with Qiu Nie's brother and sister, and when he heard this, he showed a violent look: "He is angry?!" He entered Hanlin at the age of eighteen, and my brother is only a few years older than him? If it weren't for waiting for him, my brother might not have been able to be named on the gold list at the age of eighteen! After all, your brothers and sisters will be able to be proud, and it's not because you are grandchildren! β
She sneered and looked at Qiu Jinglan, "Isn't it?" It's usually the Qiu family, and it's usually the 'end of the world' that takes refuge, but our father is still an elder! But why are you a young master as soon as you go, our father has been in the main altar since he was a child, and he has worked diligently, but he is just the right protector of the Dharma?! There are not only you above, but also the former protector of the Qiu family who is not at all! Would you be willing to change you?! β
Qiu Jinglan turned a deaf ear, personally fed Qiu Lulan to drink the last mouthful of medicinal juice, and took a word from the silver plate held by Chun Ran and fed it to her to hold the antidote, and then said lightly: "So you don't want to be under my control, but you are willing to be under the control of the Empress Dowager Gu, who killed your uncle?!" β
"Empress Dowager Gu is an outsider, she killed your father, not our father!" Swing said coldly, "Speaking of which, we are family, but you are like our master!" How much did our father pay for the end of the world? But in the end, this organization is still yours - Empress Dowager Gu, she promised us to secretly eradicate you, and the 'end of the world' is completely ours, with the Gu family as a backer...... In the future, Sister Mei will be in charge of 'Tianya', and my brother will be an official in the court - why don't we do it?! β
Qiu Jinglan said hesitantly: "You are just as shallow as your dead father - my sister is still lacking, I won't tell you more, just ask you: Your father entered the 'end of the world' before me for decades, Qiu Mengmin doesn't know the 'end of the world', and our father never asks about the 'end of the world', why was I taken to the main altar when I was seven years old, and I was immediately respected as the young master?!" β
"It's not because you're a ...... out of the house," Swing's words were coldly interrupted by him: "It's because he doesn't have this ability at all!" He couldn't seize power for decades, if he hadn't been only a right protector and made him the leader, the 'end of the world' would have ceased to exist a long time ago! β
He looked at the swing with disdain, "So I can't even do it when you repeatedly ask to enter the 'end of the world' to do things, do you think it's to guard against you?" I'm worried that you're too stupid and miserable to 'end of the world'! β
ββ¦β¦ I'm not smart, but you're even more stupid with your precious sister! Swing has always boasted of being witty and decisive, but this time she was looked down upon by Qiu Jinglan one after another, and her heart was so uncomfortable that she gritted her teeth for a moment, and suddenly sneered, "She didn't even suspect it, so she welcomed our sisters into the door, and finally even came directly to the Wulan incense I handed her to smell it...... I really don't know how a person as cunning as you can have such a stupid sister?! β
Qiu Yulan was about to fight back, but she heard Qiu Jinglan say indifferently: "The reason why she trusts you is not because you are clever or can act. But it's because you trust me...... Because I brought you three to her! It's not stupid, it's just that she believes me! β
Qiu Yulan immediately handed a smug look at the swing, and before he could say anything, he suddenly heard someone outside the window say lightly: "That's very good." If there was no Brother Ren, even if the Xihe King left all kinds of methods to control the 'end of the world', how could you, the young master, do it so steadily and smoothly?! But you don't want to, Brother Ren is loyal, and finally dies of conflict between your subordinates, you know everything, but you are still indifferent...... also used his death to deceive Qiu into working for you for many years! β
Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard this!
"It's the autumn wind!?" Qiu Yulan grabbed Qiu Jinglan's arm, "He?!" β
The guard's long knife was about to be unsheathed, but Qiu Jinglan raised his hand to stop it, he patted the back of Qiu Yulan's hand comfortingly, and said out of the window with a calm expression: "Since Brother Qiufeng is here, you might as well go to the study to talk about it!" β
"Study?!" Qiu Feng didn't open the window, but through the window, he could feel the killing intent in his words, and in the sound of the rain, he seemed to be looking up to the sky and laughing, "Qiu didn't go in directly to kill you at the moment, but he was already thinking about the innocent Lord of Ningyi, who was not in good health at the moment and should not blow the wind!" Do you still want to continue to deceive Qiu with rhetoric?! Come out! You and I fight to the death, you win, Qiu is not effective in avenging his friends, and he has no regrets in death! If you lose, then take your life to repay Brother Ren's fierce loyalty to you during his lifetime!! β
