Chapter Twenty-Six: An Unexpected Betrayal!
Qiu Yulan followed Ruan Qingyan into the newly purchased courtyard, the three-out and three-in courtyard looked a little old, and the courtyard in the second courtyard was a tall black oak tree, which covered most of the sky with lush foliage, making the main house dim.
The guards who arranged to clean up first are very capable, not to mention that the original owner of Kung Fu has moved away, and they have already picked up a lot of things inside and out.
"What's the deal with seeing the autumn breeze twice?" The two brothers and sisters sat down in the hall, and Ruan Yi hurriedly instructed people to make tea.
Ruan Qingyan took a sip and asked.
Qiu Yulan fell out with Jiang Yashuang, which would be messy in his heart, and his interest was not very high: "Yesterday, he borrowed a mastiff from Xun Yuxi and Li Xuan to Ling Zui, and he didn't want the mastiff to scare Princess Chunfu's lion cat after he got off the leash, and he was held by Zhuang Man, and it happened that I went back and saw that they were relieved; Today, he came to the door and said that he saw with his own eyes that someone had murdered Concubine Mo of Huainan Palace, and suspected that it was my cousin Kang who invited the person from 'Tianya'. ”
"How is that possible?!" Ruan Qingyan frowned and blurted out.
Qiu Yulan said: "I was also suspicious at first, how could Kang Lizhang know about 'Tianya'? But Qiu Feng said that maybe 'Tianya' knew that she had a lot of private savings in her hands and deliberately found her. Before she made a concubine for King Huainan, she was also forced by Qiu Mengmin and his wife, according to her sex. Son, where are you willing to let go if you have the opportunity to be a side concubine? ”
Sighing, "But this time she actually swore that she came out to see me!" ”
Ruan Qingyan's face was very ugly, and he was silent for a while before he said: "It's her who wants to see you, and it's not that you want to see her-I can't rely on you no matter how you talk about it......" Speaking of this, his eyes were in a trance, and he said, "I suddenly remembered something, I have to go back to the city immediately, you can live here tonight, I have left someone to protect you, don't worry." ”
Qiu Yulan said unexpectedly: "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Ruan Qingyan said perfunctorily, and immediately got up and walked out.
Qiu Yulan chased to the door, but saw that his horse had already been led out, and he was shouting two guards to speak, and when he saw himself coming out, he hurriedly explained: "Guard the door, don't let people disturb the county lord!" ”
scolded Qiu Yulan, "What are you doing when you come out?" Go back and rest! ”
"This will go back to the city, where can I get it before dark?" Qiu Yulan said worriedly, "What if the road is slippery in the rain and falls into the water-by the way, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Ruan Qingyan didn't answer, but said, "Go back." After speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, only taking Ruan Yi and a few other people, and just braved the rain and urged the horse to leave.
“…… What is so urgent? Qiu Yulan was confused and asked the guard next to him.
But the guards didn't know.
Qiu Yulan frowned and returned to the main house, Shen Shui came over and said, "Does the county lord take a look at the house?" The bedding was all new, as if it had been brought from the city by my cousin. ”
"Just live outside for two or three days, and you actually have to buy a yard!" Qiu Yulan sighed at Ruan Qingyan's generosity, "Even the futon was brought out...... Sure enough, my cousin is a real tyrant, and I can't imagine spending so much if I want to live. ”
Shen Shui smiled: "My cousin loves you...... But if you just move out of the Jiang family Zhuangzi, will it ...... Make Her Royal Highness Princess Chunfu unhappy? ”
Qiu Yulan rubbed the corners of her forehead in disappointment: "I can't care so much, you didn't see your cousin's face just now." Besides, the Jiang family has suspected me several times, and I've had enough! ”
At this time, Su He and others also came over, and with them came the big maid Meng Tao in front of Jiang Qizheng: "Her Royal Highness said that your courtyard has just been purchased, and I'm afraid that there are a lot of things missing, so let the maid send some over." ”
Qiu Yulan's eyes swept away, and saw that they were all new utensils, so he thought about it and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness, but my cousin brought it all when he came from the city." ”
Meng Tao didn't insist, and left after a few words of greeting.
returned to Zhuangzi and told Jiang Qizheng, Jiang Qizheng gritted his teeth for a while: "I really thought I was a character!" Earlier, I teamed up with Ruan Chunjun to sweep the face of Nineteen in front of Zhuangzi, and I will have to get a shelf! As the pearl of the Jiang family, she thinks that she is considerate enough to protect and tolerate this prospective brother and daughter-in-law!
Just now I sent Meng Tao to deliver something, which was also to make up for the temptation on the splendid slope, but Qiu Yulan refused so simply, where did she put her face?
He Shui Jin persuaded her: "That one has always been spoiled by Ruan Chunjun, and nineteen depends on her for everything, no wonder she has a little temper." It's just that I blamed me for knocking on the side too obviously before, which made her feel resentful. Let's go back and coax slowly! ”
"Coax something!" Jiang Qizheng sneered, "I don't believe it, a county lord still dares to ...... with me" She said a domineering word, and then lowered her head in frustration, "Ming'er let someone send some more snacks...... Who called Nineteen to like her? She is a younger brother of Jiang Yashuang, she really can't bear to see him sad and sad, she can't say it, she can't bear it anymore for her brother-in-law, and for the sake of her brother, she can only endure it from the beginning!
He Shuijin smiled bitterly and nodded.
Qiu Yulan in the village didn't know that she had offended Jiang Qizheng miserably, and she was summoning Chun Ran and Xia Ran to interrogate what urgent things would happen in the city.
Chun Ran and Xia Ran didn't know anything: "Since the servants have served you, the affairs of the cousin have not been touched again, where do you know?" Maybe it's the trouble with the shops in the city? Or are you afraid that Miss Cousin will be worried? ”
"It must have something to do with the autumn wind!" Qiu Yulan frowned, "Although my cousin didn't say it, I think he just noticed something after listening to me seeing Qiu Feng twice...... You really don't know? Asked me to go to the barrage before, was I really afraid that I would affect my cousin? Nothing else? ”
"I really don't know why my cousin is in a hurry to go back to the city!" Spring dyeing and summer dyeing speak in unison, and they are categorical.
Qiu Yulan looked at them suspiciously, because she didn't know whether Ruan Qingyan was in a hurry to return to the city for good or bad, and Chun Ran and Xia Ran had been serving her very hard for the past two years, so they couldn't take them down for the sake of suspicion. Therefore, after some side knocks to no avail, she had to let them go.
There was nothing to say from day to night, but in the middle of the night, Qiu Yulan was shaken awake: "Miss Qiu and Miss Qiu are here, and they are in the front hall, saying that they have something important to tell you!" ”
"Why are they here?" Qiu Yulan was shocked.
Su He said: "The maid doesn't know either...... Seeing that the second girl Qiu was very anxious, she held a box in her arms, and she was drenched, but she protected the box well, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it. ”
"Box?" Qiu Yulan was confused, and muttered to herself as she got up, "I can't remember what I told her about the box?" ”
She hurriedly packed up and rushed to the front hall, and sure enough, Qiu Bo and Swing were standing wet under the hall, their lips were cold.
Seeing Qiu Lulan, Qiu Boli couldn't do it, so he split his head and said: "County Lord, I was lucky enough to receive some of the things you mentioned before, and I know that the matter is important, so I will bring it to you at night!" ”
Qiu Yulan was stunned, but saw that Qiu Swing made three lip shapes towards herself, which was the "Sleep Fragrance", and she couldn't help but look at the box in her arms: "Is it in this box?" ”
"Can you go inside and talk about it?" Qiu Bo asked anxiously.
Qiu Yulan nodded: "Come in...... Su He went to fetch my dress, and you went in and said it when you went in! ”
After entering the inner room, Qiu Bo wiped his face and didn't know if it was rain or sweat, let the swing bring the box to the table, and said while opening it: "The kind of incense you said is not tight if it is not burned, so you can directly hold it in your hand and look at it." ”
As he spoke, Qiu Yulan had already seen a piece of incense like an inkstone lying quietly in the box, the color was dark and translucent, and if you didn't know, you wouldn't think it was a spice.
Although Qiu Bo said that she could directly hold it in her hand and look at it, she didn't dare to touch it, lowered her head and looked at it carefully, and said, "I see? So is it this faint orchid when you don't order it? I really don't know what kind of long and long way it will be lit? ”
Suddenly, Qiu Bo Gege smiled: "Wrong, county lord!" I'm talking about the kind of incense you mentioned, this kind of ulan incense, it doesn't have to be burned to work...... Don't you feel dizzy and tired? ”
Hearing this, Qiu Yulan hurriedly reached out to the side to grab the swing closest to him - but the swing slid away a few steps as early as Qiu Bo laughed, standing side by side with Qiu Bo, and chuckled: "Don't worry, county lord, this Wulan Xiang can't kill you, after all, we still expect to exchange you and Ruan Qingyan for my brother's future and life!" ”
"Qiu Nie?!" Qiu Yulan only felt that the strength of her whole body was like a tide away, and she couldn't even stand up with such a few words-Su He exclaimed and wanted to come up to help, but she seemed to be caught by the swing and stunned, so as not to let her alarm the people outside--Qiu Bo saw this and ordered the swing: "You go out and explain, hide it for a while." ”
Follow the swing out and command: "Sister Lan is going to have a long talk with my sister all night, so that you all disperse." Wait for Gongzi Ruan to come back and tell you, and if there is anything else, push it away, Sister Lan will not have the heart to pay attention to the side! ”
When she came back, she saw that Qiu Yulan had fallen weakly on the carpet, conscious, but paralyzed as mud, and asked Qiu Bo: "Help her to bed?" ”
"We'll talk about it later." Qiu Bo sat on the embroidery stool for a long time, poured himself a bowl of hot tea, and said with a smile, "I forgot what your brother said, this county lord's martial arts are not low, although Wulanxiang is domineering, she will still be able to hold on, and we will be ruthless when we get closer!" ”
The swing was completely lost in the quiet elegance of the Xihe Palace, and he laughed uncontrollably: "Yo, how powerful?" Have you ever killed someone? Can you have me? As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his sleeve and compared, "I'm even more rare for her moon-looking beauty, I used to think that the two of us were top beauties, but in the end she was compared!" ”
Qiu Lulan's hands and feet were sore, and she couldn't speak, only looking at her coldly with a pair of eyes - Qiu Bo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You don't want your brother's life anymore?" She can only negotiate conditions with Ruan Qingyan if she is intact, and you still don't know which one's means? Qiu Feng has sold his life for him for so many years, but he has been hiding it to death...... This is his only weakness, you'd better pick her up on the couch later, don't even move with a hair, otherwise Ruan Qingyan will be forced to a dead end, and we will all finish playing! ”
Swing smugly put away the dagger: "I know, I know, scare her...... It's not a small amount of courage to dare to stare at me! If I didn't have to keep you to threaten Ruan Qingyan and glare at me again, I would have gouged out your eyes! ”
"She's usually good to you, but is she so fierce?" Qiu Bo asked in surprise.
"What do you know?" Swing took a sip, "The boudoir in Xihe Wangfu, everyone is going crazy!" When I saw her, I thought of that Mr. Shao! ”
Qiu Bo smiled: "You are used to the white knife in and the red knife out, to learn those things that the young lady learned, it is really a headache." Especially Mr. Shao is talented and thoughtful, and it is really painful for you not to show your feet in front of her...... But let's not mess with her, don't forget that she is not only Ruan Qingyan's baby, but the Jiang Xiao General on Zhuangzi three miles away, but she is also used to being like something, and she is carefully turned back and remembered by Jiang Yashuang! That one in front of the queen is no ordinary favor! ”
"Afraid of what?" Swing said indifferently, "Anyway, my brother is under the Queen Mother's door, no matter how offended the Jiang family, Hengzhi and the Jiang family will be mortal enemies in the future!" ”
As he was talking, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door: "Be careful, the county lord is careful, the sisters of the Qiu family ......"
The door was pushed open with a "clang", and Chun Ran led Ruan Yi, who was covered in rain and muddy water, and was stunned to see Qiu Bo and Swing one left and one right, each holding a dagger to hold Qiu Lulan's throat, and threw a playful smile at them: "It's late!" ”
