Chapter 479: Sister and Brother
Jian Xubai stood on the palace road for a while, and did not go to Qingxi Palace, but went out of the palace to the Qingjiang County Lord's Mansion.
On this day, it was Mrs. Shou Chunbo's turn to serve the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and the county lord of Qingjiang was in his own house, and when he heard that Jian Xubai came alone, he hurriedly greeted him - seeing this younger brother's pale face, he was taken aback: "What's wrong?" β
"Your Majesty wants me to kill Shanyao." Jian Xubai shook his head, and when he entered the inner hall with the county lord of Qingjiang and waved back, he said with difficulty, "I pleaded for no result, so I can only come to find the eldest sister and try it!" β
"Your Majesty wants to kill Brother and Sister Song?!" The county lord of Qingjiang exclaimed, "Because of the concubine Cui Jianpi? β
Seeing her younger brother nodding, she couldn't help frowning, "After all, Cui Jianlian was just a side room when His Majesty was still in the East Palace, and he was not a virtuous and innocent person, why did His Majesty make such a big deal for her?" β
I knew before that when Song Yixiao calculated to kill Cui Jianlian, the county lord of Qingjiang was very dissatisfied with his brother and daughter-in-law.
This kind of dissatisfaction is mainly because he feels that Song Yixiao's approach is not in line with the gentle and virtuous style of everyone, but between Cui Jianlian and Song Yixiao, the county lord of Qingjiang is definitely biased towards Song Yixiao!
What's more, the cause of this incident is also that Cui Jianpian is vicious in the front, and Song Yixiao is in revenge, and when it comes to talking about it strictly, Cui Jianpian himself also has the act of taking death, and he can't completely follow the theory of "murdering the side concubine".
At this moment, the county lord of Qingjiang asked in detail, "Your Majesty is angry to say so?" β
"In my opinion, Your Majesty made a decision after consideration." Jian Xubai shook his head and said, "Your Majesty only gave me three days, the imperial grandmother and the second aunt are tired, I don't dare to disturb, I think about it, I can only come and entrust the eldest sister." β
The county lord of Qingjiang muttered: "Don't panic, since Your Majesty has given you three days, it can be seen that there is also room for you." In this way, I happen to be free now, so I will go into the palace to face the saint and see if His Majesty is a little angry? β
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but complain about Song Yixiao again, "She's too ignorant!" It's just a maid, and I heard that the maid is now married and has a fat boy, and she is doing well? Why did you really make such a big deal in the first place, how much worry did you ask your mother to with the imperial grandmother earlier, and now she is here to harm you! β
"Shanyao's biological parents are not virtuous, and the eldest sister also knows it." Jian Xubai smiled bitterly and spoke for his wife, "Although that maid is just a subordinate, she is willing to sacrifice her life to protect her, how can she not forget it?" In the final analysis, it is also the Shu people Cui Shi is not good, and he is so vicious at a young age! β
Now that the wood has been completed, it is useless for the county lord of Qingjiang to count his brother's daughter-in-law, and when he saw his younger brother speaking to maintain it, he didn't bother to argue with him, so he only said: "You have tea here with me, and I will go in and change my clothes and enter the palace!" β
She changed into the clothes of a saint and rode to the palace gate to ask for a meeting.
Emperor Duanhua has the best impression of the county lord of Qingjiang among his sisters - because although the county lord of Qingjiang is not very gentle and careless, he has been widowed since the death of the county horse, and he has conscientiously raised his only son, which is very in line with Emperor Duanhua's requirements for women to be chaste and rude.
So although she knew that she must have been entrusted by Jian Xubai to intercede with Song Yixiao, after groaning, she still ordered: "Xuan!" β
After a while, the county lord of Qingjiang was led up to the palace by the inner attendant, bowed and saluted, and Emperor Duanhua gave him a hand, and said gently: "Cousin doesn't have to be polite!" β
and a seat.
The county lord of Qingjiang thanked him, and after sitting down, he was about to peek at the emperor's expression, but he heard the emperor say first, "I heard that Ping'an'er's concubine is happy, and I haven't congratulated my cousin in person." β
As he spoke, he smiled and arched his hand, saying, "Congratulations to my cousin for getting a grandson!" β
"I can't help it!" The county lord of Qingjiang hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "Your Majesty is now the ninth five, where can the concubine afford to say hello in person?" β
When she said this, her face was very grateful, but her heart sank!
Sure enough, Duanhua Dilang smiled: "What did my cousin say?" Isn't my cousin's grandson also my niece? It's a pity to say that Ping'an'er, such a neat child, if he can read, it must be a good one, and I can't say that this will also be able to share my worries! But fortunately, I am not too old, and his children must be able to be used by me. β
The county lord of Qingjiang hurriedly said: "Peace and happiness are thin, thanks to the grace of the heavenly family. If he has a son and can be used by His Majesty, it is really a blessing for the Zhuo family! β
- She knew that Emperor Duanhua deliberately mentioned Zhuo Ping'an and Zhuo Ping'an's son, not just to care about her cousin, but actually to hint to herself: If you don't meddle in things, the emperor will repay the descendants of the Zhuo family in the future; Otherwise......
Although the county lord of Qingjiang really wants to help his younger brother and sister-in-law, compared to his own children and grandchildren, the latter is more important.
What's more, what Emperor Duanhua is going to kill now is Song Yixiao, not Jian Xubai. The county lord of Qingjiang is Jian Xubai's sister, but she is only Song Yixiao's sister-in-law.
For the sake of a younger brother and daughter-in-law, taking advantage of the future of his children and grandchildren, of course the county lord of Qingjiang is unwilling!
"Go back and persuade Ah Xu! He is still so young and has a great future, why should he anger His Majesty for the sake of a wife? The county lord of Qingjiang, who quickly made the choice, sighed in distress, "Fortunately, Chaoping is still young - if she handles it well, she may not know how her biological mother died in the future!" β
She thought so in her heart, and then she didn't mention it again, but only followed Emperor Duanhua to say some short words in the family, saying that she had just not faced the saint for a few days, and seeing that there had been accidents one after another in the past two days, she was worried that Emperor Duanhua would be angry, so she came to see the emperor.
Emperor Duanhua thanked her for her "concern", looked at the time, and hinted that he still had a batch of chapters to change, and the county lord of Qingjiang also retired with interest.
When she returned to the Qingjiang County Lord's Mansion, Jian Xubai was looking forward to it, and finally saw the eldest sister coming back, and hurriedly greeted her.
"Go in and talk!" The county lord of Qingjiang nodded to him and raised his chin slightly, "You all go down, you don't have to wait now." β
After the two sisters and brothers entered the house, Jian Xubai personally poured her tea, watched her take a sip and put it on it, and then asked urgently: "Sister, how is it?!" β
"It's bad." The county lord of Qingjiang sighed, "Your Majesty...... Your mind has been decided! β
Jian Xubai's face changed suddenly: "How can this be?!" β
He couldn't figure it out, "Although the Cui family favored the special room when he was alive, he only served His Majesty for a few days?" After her death, His Majesty quickly forgot about her and never mentioned it again, which is an example! Now how can she kill Shanyao because of her death?! β
"You really care!" On the way back to the house, the county lord of Qingjiang also thought about this matter in the carriage, and reminded at this moment, "In my opinion, this matter is not necessarily because Your Majesty values the Cui family, but because it is just on the cusp of the current storm, it is impossible for Your Majesty to deal with it lightly!" β
She analyzed, "What do you think about in the past two days, even King Liang, a brother who is a fellow brother with His Majesty's mother, has betrayed His Majesty's trust, what does Your Majesty feel in his heart?" On this eye joint, it was revealed that the queen and Brother Song had murdered His Majesty's favored concubine as early as when His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne - if His Majesty did not deal with it severely, how could he deter those little people?! β
"What King Liang has committed is a great crime of rebellion!" Jian Xubai said, "But what the queen and Shanyao do is at most a backyard fight-among them, Shanyao has an old grudge with the Cui family, and it can even be said that there is evil retribution, and it is not even a backyard fight!" How can these two be the same thing?! β
The county lord of Qingjiang shook his head and said, "You say this because you cherish Brother and Sister Song and deliberately help you!" The concubine Cui is nothing, but she is the one who serves His Majesty, as the saying goes, it depends on the face of the owner to beat the dog! What's more, she is still His Majesty's cousin? β
The county lord knew that Jian Xubai and Song Yixiao were in love with each other, so he lifted Jian Qingyue out, "Originally, husband and wife are one, and it is the husband's responsibility to discipline his wife, and if Brother and Sister Song do such a thing, you will definitely be involved." Your Majesty didn't pursue your intentions this time, but it was already for your brother's sake, leaving you with dignity. If you still refuse to obey and Your Majesty becomes angry, you just don't think about yourself, but also think about Chaoping, right? β
"This will be our sister and brother, let me tell you a frank word: Chaoping, the county lord, was sealed by the emperor's grandmother!"
"Originally, there was no problem, but since you also knew about the conflict between the imperial grandmother and Your Majesty over the death of your aunt and uncle on behalf of the country, you should know that Your Majesty will definitely save a gap for the imperial grandmother!"
"Chaoping has a different view from the emperor's grandmother, and his biological mother is a Song brother and sister, what do you think Your Majesty will think of her?!"
"Don't say she's young, Your Majesty won't care about her - Your Majesty doesn't need to be serious with her at all, you just need to show that you don't like this cousin and niece, and you think about the consequences yourself!"
When the county lord of Qingjiang said this in one breath, Fang picked up the tea bowl to moisten his throat and sighed, "You should think about it!" In fact, if Brother and Sister Song are here, most of them will also think about their children. β
"Big sister." Jian Xubai was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "If your brother-in-law is still here, are you willing to give up your brother-in-law for the sake of peace?" β
The county lord of Qingjiang froze when he drank tea, and after a while, he said in a dumb voice: "Your brother-in-law has always been humble and courteous, and he will never do anything to embarrass me!" β
"......" Jian pursed his lips and raised his head, "Today's tired sister, I will leave first!" β
"You wait!" The county lord of Qingjiang hurriedly put down the tea bowl and stepped forward to block his way, "Ah Xu, I know you are very disappointed in your sister now-but even if your sister begs you, don't do stupid things!" β
She grabbed Jian Xubai's arm, looked up at her younger brother, who was more than ten years younger than herself, but a head taller than herself, and couldn't hide her panic and worry in her pupils, "When your brother-in-law went, I thought the sky was falling!" Later, I found out about Ping'an'er's situation, and at that time I really thought about it, so I took Ping'an'er down to find him! But you see, after so many years, I haven't survived? Ping An is about to have a baby! So in this world, there is really no hurdle that cannot be passed, promise me, don't be impulsive! β
"Is the eldest sister worried that I will send someone to contact King Su?" Jian Xubai was stunned, laughed, gently pushed her hand away, and said gently, "Eldest sister is too worried, Your Majesty only gave me three days, what does eldest sister think I can do?" β
The county lord of Qingjiang bit his lip and said, "Then you...... What are you going to do now? β
She asked, hoping that Jian Xubai would give her a word of approvalβbut Jian Xubai just smiled, didn't say anything, and just left.
