Chapter Forty-Eight: Sleep Incense
"My mother-in-law and brother-in-law before I succeeded to the Ruan family were found, and now they are secretly on their way to Beijing?" Ruan Qingyan frowned and said, "Hua's what she said?" ”
Qiu Yulan nodded: "She also said that this is because Empress Dowager Gu wanted to rob the Lian family's letter from Concubine Xihe and failed one after another, and someone had an idea to start with you, cousin!" ”
Ruan Qingyan sneered: "Start with me? Am I such a good bully? ”
"Cousin, when you came to the Ruan family before, did you tell the family?" Qiu Yulan muttered, "Listen to the deep meaning of the flower, your mother and brother plan to say that in order to be the son of the general's mansion, you will abandon your original identity as a commoner and the ......ancestral hall."
I have to say that Empress Dowager Gu's plan is extremely vicious!
The crime of abandoning the ancestral hall is even more intense than killing the king and killing the father at this time!
"You don't have to worry, the ones they came for definitely not my former mother and brother!" Ruan Qingyan sneered and said, "I guess it's because no one in the capital knows my former mother-in-law and brother-in-law anyway...... I found two people with southern accents and similar years to stir up the situation! ”
Qiu Yulan was surprised: "How do you know? ”
“…… Tell you later. Ruan Qingyan's eyes flashed with pain, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Fake is fake, I'm not afraid that they won't show their feet when the time comes!" ”
"I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Gu and they will know that as soon as the letter of the Lian family arrives, Qiu Mengmin is destined to lose money, and they will not let you go here - the Ruan family and the Lian family have a letter or you proposed it in the court." Qiu Yulan sighed, "Right now, the Jiang family's attention is on the letter of the Lian family, even if they know that Empress Dowager Gu is targeting you, they probably won't be able to draw too many manpower - the person who gave Empress Dowager Gu this idea is really insidious and vicious!" ”
Ruan Qingyan smiled: "Don't believe in the Hua clan too much, now many people know that I am about to end." She rushed to this point of the eye to come and say the news, who knows if it's true or not? Maybe it's just to make me uneasy and fail the exam? ”
Qiu Yulan was stunned - he heard Ruan Qingyan continue, "People's hearts are unpredictable, not to mention that the Hua family has been reduced to a hook since childhood, although she is a few years older than you, her experience is difficult for ordinary people, you see that she seems to protect me everywhere, but have you forgotten?" The matter of Sai Oiran, because of the relationship between Ling Xiaohou Ye, I am on the side of her sworn enemy Peng Laiyue, do you say that she is so virtuous to repay her grievances? ”
Seeing Qiu Yulan looking at him and stopping at what he wanted to say, Ruan Qingyan said earnestly, "So don't think that if you see someone being good to you on the surface, you must be a good person!" ”
Finally got to the point, "Jiang Yashuang's kid is okay, and he is polite to talk to you." But do you think, not to mention that your marriage contract has not been dissolved, even if it is dissolved, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet and is not related to him, and he has invited you to be alone three times and twice, is this what a decent gentleman does? It can be seen that he is not a good thing, and he is scheming and sanctimonious......"
Listening to Ruan Qingyan's sparing effort to smear Jiang Yashuang, Qiu Yulan coughed: "I was just thinking about how to remind my cousin that Hua Shen may not be credible...... I didn't know that my cousin had already thought of it. ”
"Do you still need to be reminded of this kind of thing?" Ruan Qingyan sneered, "The name I combed through. I'm afraid the prostitute is ...... than anyone you know Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”
Suddenly realizing that he seemed to have said something that would pollute his cousin's heart, Ruan Qingyan retreated in embarrassment, "Anyway, in the future, you don't want to see her." With her identity, how can she be qualified to talk to you directly?! ”
Before the words fell, he casually found a reason to continue to study books, and left......
"Alas, combed the name. More prostitutes than I know? Qiu Yulan smirked behind him, "Wouldn't it?" Can't you see that you're overly drunk, are you? Or do you spend money to comb people and cover quilts for pure chatting? ”
"If what you say is heard by your cousin, you will definitely be punished again!" Su He blinked and reminded.
The corners of Qiu Yulan's mouth twitched: "You dare to sue, and you will be blind, dumb and deaf in the future!" ”
Su He smiled: "The maid is not afraid!" The county lord loves the servant, and he will not pit the servant in the major events of his life! ”
Sure enough, can't you teach the maid to be too smart?
Qiu Yulan said viciously: "Then punish you for this month's money!" ”
At this moment, Su He immediately burst into tears, raised his hand and said, "The maid will definitely never spread it!" ”
"Humph!" Qiu Yulan raised his head arrogantly, "Okay, it's time to serve my grandfather and drink medicine!" ”
General Ruan's body was not quite good, and this time he suddenly vomited blood violently, and even more broke the last bit of anger. The old man was lying in a luxurious brocade quilt, looking skinny and skinny, which was tear-jerking.
The bloodstained handkerchiefs were taken out one after another, although they gradually stopped after a few days, and they were shocking enough.
Up and down the general's mansion, there were heavy clouds, and everyone's hearts were like pressing a big stone.
Ruan An, the housekeeper, after knowing that the old general's time was short, didn't even want to take care of things, and stayed by the couch every step of the way and wept silently.
He is a servant of the Ruan family, and the little servant of General Ruan's youth. accompanied General Ruan Lao to fight in the south and north for a lifetime; accompanied General Ruan Lao to die in battle; In the end, the old general Ruan was defeated and was questioned, and he also took off his armor and returned to the Ruan family to be a subordinate, and continued to accompany the old general to guard the general's mansion, which was losing day by day, for the rest of his life.
This kind of master-servant relationship, although not brothers, is more profound than ordinary brotherhood.
"Uncle Ruan, go and rest, I'll serve my grandfather to drink medicine." Ruan An stacked the burden, and the general's mansion couldn't be left alone or let Ruan Qingyan take care of it, so Qiu Yulan had no choice but to take over the temporary housekeeper and let Ruan An have time to accompany the old general Ruan.
However, seeing Ruan An's gray and sad appearance, she still decided to persuade Ruan An to rest, "Grandfather is like this, you have to count on your cousin in the lintel of Ruan's house in the future, don't you take care of yourself, after your cousin is admitted to the Jinshi, do you still have to continue to work inside and out?" How did he get busy? ”
After saying it several times in a row, Ruan An looked up blankly, and went to rest by half-helping and half-pulling by the oath - here Qiu Yulan fed General Ruan to drink medicine, and suddenly thought of something, and his face couldn't help but change!
She absentmindedly waited for the old general Ruan to finish drinking the medicine, and it was rare that she didn't stay to talk to the old general who couldn't speak, stuffed the bowl into her hand, got up and walked out: "Where's my cousin?" I have something to ask him! ”
"You want to know why my grandfather is like this?" Ruan Qingyan was next door, and when he saw Qiu Yulan rushing in, he stood up in slight surprise, "The old lady Qi said that it is mainly because of excessive anxiety, the so-called anger hurts the liver, thinks hurts the spleen, and the liver hides blood, and he is the general's official; The blood of the spleen and the scriptures ......"
"I don't understand what you say!" Qiu Yulan directly admitted that he was uneducated, "In short, didn't the old lady Qi say that his grandfather was poisoned?" ”
Ruan Qingyan's face was very solemn all of a sudden: "Poison? Are you sure? What is poison? ”
"I'm not sure! So come and ask you. Qiu Yulan's heart sank! But his face was silent, and he said blankly, "I just thought that my grandfather had been raising him well, why did he suddenly ...... And vomited blood? During these days, Empress Dowager Gu and they are trying their best to deal with us, are they accidentally taking advantage of any loopholes? ”
Dingding looked at her for a moment, Ruan Qingyan didn't find a flaw, and then said: "Old Lady Qi is the person invited by Jiang Yashuang, if there are traces of murder by his grandfather, he will definitely not say it!" After all, once it was found out that it was the Empress Dowager Gu's side, the Jiang family had another handle. ”
Since the old lady Qi didn't say it, it means that General Ruan was not poisoned - or rather, he didn't find that General Ruan was poisoned!
But General Ruan Lao is clearly poisoned!
Sleep incense!
Qiu Yulan just walked over, and when she sorted out the memories of the original owner, she noticed that the most profound memory of the original owner was that Princess Ruan resolutely chose to commit suicide in order for her to leave the Qiu family without worry!
Secondly, it is the fragrance of sleep!
"But the memory of Youmian Xiang is not just that Princess Ruan told the original owner that she and General Ruan were poisoned by this kind of poison...... There is also Princess Ruan's stern warning that the original body must not reveal this secret! Qiu Yulan left the study, and on the way back to the Green Rose Garden, her heart fluctuated, and she thought quickly, "Even the three words 'sleep incense' can't be in front of anyone!" Because, if you mention it, there will be a great disaster! ”
At the beginning, Qiu Lulan also specially asked Kang Jinzhang, but unfortunately at that time, she estimated that the thickness of the snow under the cliff would definitely not kill Kang Jinzhang, but this guy did too much evil himself, so he couldn't die in his throat, and he was buried alive in retribution......
If I had known this, I should have asked everything I wanted on the cliff......
In short, because of Princess Ruan's warning in her memory, Qiu Yulan cautiously concealed these three words, preferring to expose Qiu Mengmin's disrespect to her mother, Concubine Xihe, than to tell the truth that the old lady murdered Princess Ruan's father and daughter!
Originally, she thought that she couldn't mention these three words, and she could let others say them.
But......
"If the poison of the sleeping incense can't be found out at all, how does Princess Ruan know? With the ruan family's downfall, they shouldn't have been able to find a good doctor at that time, and it would be good to hire a doctor with an average status. ”
"This old lady Qi Shu Luo invited by Jiang Yashuang is said to have a high status in the Tai Hospital-it is impossible for him not to see the real reason why Old General Ruan looks like this!"
Qiu Yulan carefully recalled the change in Qi Shuluo's expression when he treated General Ruan......
Suddenly, she remembered that at that time...... Jiang Yashuang asked Qi Shuluo if Old General Ruan could still be saved, although Qi Shuluo looked solemn, he was a little uneasy......
At that time, Qiu Yulan thought that General Ruan Lao was in a difficult condition, but now that he thinks about it, it is very likely that he has noticed the fragrance of sleep......
But this old lady doctor actually chose to shut up!
"What kind of major events does this sleep incense involve, or what kind of amazing origin does it intimidate?!" Qiu Yulan felt extremely confused, and there was a deep jealousy, "The question is, such a forbidden poison, how can Mrs. Lu have an abandoned concubine?!" ”
Originally, after getting on the boat of the Jiang family, there was a letter from the concubine collected by the Ruan family and the Lian family as a big killer, Qiu Yulan already felt that the victory was in hand, and a better life was beckoning to her-now this misty sleeping incense once again made her feel the danger everywhere......
"Anyway, let's let Old Madam Lu die first." After all, there are too many precarious days in the last days, and when he stepped into the Green Rose Garden, Qiu Yulan had already adjusted his mentality, "Take one step at a time...... Well, eat and sleep and beat my cousin - at least the days before are good......"
