Chapter Forty-Seven: The Cruel Mending Knife

"He still has a face!?" When Qiu Yulan heard it, he was so angry!

Although it is unlikely that those two assassins came from the hands of Guo Qingwu, who had only arrived in Beijing not long ago, as a Queen Mother's Party, or the Queen Mother's Party that had a conflict not long ago, this is not a provocation to "visit" them!

Ruan Ciyi heard that this was wrong, and asked in surprise: "Did he do it?" ”

"It's not." Qiu Yulan knew that this eldest cousin had enough thoughts, and she couldn't help much, so she didn't want to put more pressure on her, so she said, "It's just that I had a conflict with him not long ago...... This person had nothing to do with the Ruan family before, what is he doing now! I must be uneasy and kind! ”

Ruan Ciyi sighed: "People go to tea and cool, originally he came to Beijing, he should be the first to visit our house." ”

"Such a white-eyed wolf, it's best not to come, it won't be an eyesore." Qiu Yulan knew that Ruan Ciyi had seen the situation in the Ruan family when she was a child, and now when she mentioned the situation family, she couldn't help but feel emotional, but this would not be the time to sigh, so she urged her subordinates, "Hurry up and send the eldest cousin back to the room, what about the person who invited the doctor?" Why don't you leave yet?! ”

Because the family didn't like the situation, Qiu Yulan deliberately sent Ruan Ciyi back to the room, and waited until the doctor came to diagnose and prescribe medicine, and took care of Ruan Ciyi until she fell asleep. She asked, "Is Qingwu gone?" ”

Chunran said helplessly: "No! The servant also sent someone to see it, and the subordinate in the front hall said that the prince of Zhang Guo was a little irritable at first, but then a Mr. Leshan who came with him persuaded a few words, and then he also settled down and began to wait-isn't it a meal? Seeing that the Ruan family didn't set up a meal, they called the people who served the tea to ask where there was a restaurant nearbyβ€”helplessly, the kitchen had to send the food over, and found a reason to say that the people in charge of the house were busy and neglected them, and there was absolutely no intention of not wanting to entertain them. ”

Qiu Yulan frowned and said, "Mr. Leshan? Who is that? ”

"It looks like a middle-aged Confucian scholar, it should be a staff member of the Kuang family." Chunran said, "The maid hasn't heard of this person either!" ”

"Since they're dead, I'll go and take a look." Qiu Yulan's face was ugly.

She entered the front hall, and sure enough, Qingwu was sitting opposite a scholar with an elegant mannerβ€”seeing her coming, the two of them hurriedly abandoned the chess game to salute.

"You don't have to be polite, please take a seat." Qiu Yulan waved his hand, sat down on the top, and asked straight to the point, "I don't know if the two of you came here today for any urgency?" Of course, the implication is that there is no urgency to bother!

Guo Qingwu glanced at her with complicated eyes, and arched his hand: "My father had an old relationship with the Ruan family in his early years, and I heard that Ruan Gongzi was assassinated, and my son came to visit. ”

"Brother, he is seriously injured, and it is not convenient for outsiders to visit him now." Qiu Yulan said bluntly, "The county lord has thanked you for your kindness on his behalf, and after my brother gets better, the county lord will tell you." ”

After speaking, he picked up the tea and motioned to send the guests.

Guo Qingwu snorted: "Ruan Gongzi seems to be seriously injured?" I don't know if Old Lady Qi may have a wonderful hand to rejuvenate? ”

This was sarcastic to Qiu Yulan's ears, and her pretty face suddenly sank: "What do you want to say?!" ”

"This medicine may be useful for Ruan Gongzi's injuries." Guo Qingwu took out a small and delicate jade box from his sleeve, and saw that Qiu Yulan had no intention of sending someone to come up and get it, so he put it on the table at hand, "If the county lord doesn't believe it, you can show it to the old lady Qi; If the old lady is not sure to eat, there are two pills in this box, you might as well find someone to try it, you will know the effect! ”

How could Qiu Yulan believe it? said coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, but the Ruan family is not short of medicinal materials!" ”

"This medicine ...... But it's hard to change! If the county lord doesn't believe it, don't regret it when you turn around. Guo Qingwu smiled meaningfully, and didn't care about her attitude, and stood up, "Farewell!" ”

…… Out of Ruan's house, Mr. Leshan frowned and asked, "This kind of life-sustaining medicine, Ling Zun seems to have given you a total of two?" ”

Guo Qingwu bowed: "It's all in the jade box just now." ”

"You don't keep it yourself?!" Mr. Leshan, who has always been cold and calm, rarely fluctuated in his tone.

Guo Qingwu said with a smile: "Didn't Mr. say that this time Qiu Jinglan was assassinated, the Empress Dowager Gu must be the most suspicious person, but she will definitely not give the Jiang family and Qiu Jinglan a chance to doubt her, but will lead the suspicion to the Guo family - so in order to avoid becoming a scapegoat, we must find a reason to justify ourselves, so as not to rely on the protection of the Queen Mother and become more and more subject to her domination - we must show goodwill to Qiu Jinglan, even if it is superficial effort, there will be a reason to decompose it by ourselves at that time, so as not to leave the Queen Mother's side and have nothing to say?" ”

Mr. Leshan said: "That's right, but ...... The medicine? ”

"Qingwu feels that since he wants to show kindness, it is better for a good person to do it to the end." Qingwu said calmly, "Just pull Qiu Jinglan, if he survives with the medicine given by Qingwu, then who will suspect that Qingwu wants to kill him?" Although this is actually the truth! ”

Mr. Leshan's hand stroking his beard paused, and he looked at him in shock.

Qingwu smiled apologetically at him: "If Qingwu didn't deliberately hide it from Mr., it was really sudden, at that time, Mr. was not nearby, so ......"

"Ling Zun is running so far in the Ruan family?" Mr. Leshan's concentration was extraordinary, he was shocked for a moment, and then returned to his indifference, only his tone fluctuated slightly, "Otherwise, how could you seize the fleeting opportunity like yesterday when you went to Beijing?" ”

Qiu Jinglan holds the "end of the world" in her hand, and knows that her life experience has been exposed, how can she not take strict precautions?

If it weren't for someone familiar, he wouldn't see it at all. Even if he had to see it, he would definitely be on guard - just like yesterday, his precious sister suddenly ran over with a group of people: but yesterday was the Thousand Autumn Festival; Among the people who ran away were Queen Jiang's most beloved daughter and nephew; But everyone knows that the second queen is not in harmony, and the Empress Dowager Gu seized this opportunity to embarrass Princess Yongfu and Jiang Yashuang, and the queen who protected the short was perfunctory while sending someone over to ventilate, no matter how she thought about it, it was logical......

This kind of opportunity is simply hard to come by!

"It's not, it's news from the Queen Mother." Guo Qingwu explained, "The assassin is the secret guard who follows Shangjingβ€”and he is indeed an inner attendant. ”

"The people of the eldest princess of Xingkang?" Coming from the west and being an inner servant, how do you think it's all in the mansion of the eldest princess of Xingkang, but I don't know if it was the eldest princess's dowry back then, or if it was collected separately in the west over the years? Mr. Leshan's mind turned, and he said lightly, "Also, yesterday happened suddenly, the two queens are in the palace, if the Empress Dowager Gu sends her own people, it will inevitably be noticed by Queen Jiang, but you just entered Beijing, and the hole cards in your hand are not clear to everyone, and it is easy to be ignored." ”

Guo Qingwu was a little regretful: "It's a pity that it fell short." ”

"Isn't it rumored that Qiu Jinglan's fate is on the verge of death?" Mr. Leshan had already regained his normal color, and said, "Just looking at the face of Lord Ningyi, the rumors are not necessarily false. If you don't deliver the medicine, maybe he really won't be able to survive? ”

Guo Qingwu shook his head and said: "Mr. I don't know, that medicine is owned by Qiu Zhongyan, when he 'died in battle' on the battlefield, when that person collected his body, he got the jade box from him - I think Concubine Lian is such a son, I am afraid that he will have an accident when he goes into battle, so he specially made it by someone." In this case, Qiu Jinglan may not have any extra in his hands, I am afraid that before we arrive at the Ruan family, his henchmen have already fed him, so whether he sends this medicine or not, his life and death this time, Qingwu can no longer interfere now, it is better to be a good person! ”

Mr. Leshan sighed: "Can't interfere? Since the medicine and the jade box were originally owned by Qiu Zhongyan, the county lord of Ning Yi was about to be young at the time, so he didn't recognize them; But that Qiu Jinglan is Qiu Zhongyan's only son, and Concubine Lian had already had the will to die when he made him cheat to death, how could he not explain all kinds of things to him clearly? Even though Qiu Jinglan could have lived, when she heard the jade box at first glance, how could she not think of her biological father? Originally, he was a seriously injured person, and if he was stimulated like this, he should have died, right? ”

"Sir is discerning!" Guo Qingwu did not hide his purpose, and said solemnly, "Qiu Jinglan is a big trouble for my family, and I can't help it!" Since the assassination failed, now I have to spare two pills to make up for it! But I hope he will be more interesting, so he will go, and everyone will have peace of mind! ”

Mr. Leshan said lightly: "Speaking of which, I am ashamed of your father and son, I don't think much about such a precious medicine, but I met with Ling Zun at the beginning of that year, but I was given one...... It's a pity that my scholar is lazy, and he actually cleaned up and disappeared! ”

Guo Qingwu hurriedly said: "Just one medicine, sir, please don't take it to heart!" Qingwu remembered that there should be one or two more in that person's place, and he would ask for ...... for Mr. when he turned back."

"No need!" Mr. Leshan said indifferently, "Life and death have their own fate, and I said at the beginning that this medicine is useless to me." It's you, in order to stimulate Qiu Jinglan this time, you sent both pills over, but you don't want to think about your current situation, how many guns and arrows are there every day, why don't you leave one down as a backhand? ”

Qingwu noticed the concern under his cold words, his heart warmed, and he smiled: "With Mr. here, why is Qingwu afraid of those ghosts?" ”

"......" When Mr. Leshan heard this, he did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before he said, "Regardless of whether Qiu Jinglan dies or lives next, this assassination of Princess Yongfu and Jiang Yashuang will be involved, as well as the eldest lady of the Ou family...... The queen's side will definitely not give up this time. I'm afraid you're going to have to be busy! ”

Guo Qingwu sighed: "This is also a helpless move!" Qiu Nie and the others betrayed Qiu Jinglan before, and it was already in the last few days, so he could never recover! Unexpectedly, he was intervened by Iron Horse Qiuxia - I heard that it was a reminder of a sentence, and he turned the tables when he returned to the city overnight! Such a person, even if Qingwu fails to test next year, he can't keep him! ”

Mr. Leshan snorted and said, "But if Qiu Jinglan dies, won't Empress Dowager Gu be beneficial?" Wouldn't it be unfair if you were the only one in the middle of the burn? ”

He said lightly, "Yesterday, because of the assassination, the Qianqiu banquet was not held, and you didn't have a chance to meet the daughters of the Jiang family...... Next, look for another opportunity, Princess Shang Changping's matter, don't let the Queen Mother think it's going well. lest she take advantage of this time and test your hole cards! Those are all left by Ling Zun for you to use in a real crisis, not to help Empress Dowager Gu find out how to deal with you! ”

Besides, Qingwu hesitated for a moment, and his eyes seemed to cross the Ruan family hall, Qiu Yulan's cold and impatient, but beautiful face...... He was in a trance for a moment, then suppressed his distracting thoughts and nodded in agreement.

What else is Mr. Leshan going to say - suddenly the carriage stopped suddenly!

All of a sudden, I almost threw the two people in the carriage out!

Thanks to Qingwu's quick hand, he grabbed Mr. Leshan to avoid this disaster, and before he could get angry, the coachman outside had already shouted angrily: "Who dares to stop my family's son from driving!?" ”

But I heard a young man coldly ask: "What about Qingwu?" You just went to Ruan's house? What do you go for! ”

"This Jiang Nineteen, it's really ...... attentive" Hearing that the young man who stopped the car was Jiang Yashuang, Guo Qingwu frowned, rubbed his forehead, and helplessly raised the curtain of the car in response......
