Chapter 43: Assassination!

"What the hell is going on?!" Seeing that it was far enough away from Jiang Yashuang and the others not to be heard, Qiu Jinglan's face suddenly became gloomy, "Today is the Thousand Autumn Festival!" You brought these people here...... You're afraid that no one will find you anything, right?! ”

Qiu Yulan hurriedly said: "Brother, don't talk about these first, we are in a big disaster!" ”

Qiu Jinglan was not shocked when she heard this, and said with a sneer: "Even if there is no disaster, if you bring these people here, a catastrophe will definitely come!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's it. Qiu Yulan was choked for a long time before she spoke, "I misunderstood Princess Yongfu's words, thinking that Empress Jiang knew your life experience and wanted to use you, and was worried about your safety, so she ran out of the palace directly - those few had to follow, I was about to die at the time, how could I have the strength to drive people away?" When I finished looking here, I realized that I was thinking about it! ”

She said dejectedly, "So, it's not okay if you don't have a showdown now!" ”

Seeing her dejected appearance, Qiu Jinglan's heart softened, and she slowed down her tone and said, "The matter has come to this, then tell them." ”

He frowned and looked at Jiang Yashuang, who was staring at this side in the distance, and snorted coldly, "But I hope you don't deliberately deceive me for fear that the kid will misunderstand!" ”

"How so?" Qiu Yulan hurriedly coquettish, pulled his sleeve and shook it, and said, "Brother is the most important, what is he?" ”

Qiu Jinglan scolded with a smile: "Duplicity...... That's it, I don't care about you, are you going to go over and make it clear to him now? I see that boy is already eager to come up and cut me. ”

"He dares!" Qiu Yulan said this, but he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Yashuang, but saw that he was really staring at this side with blazing eyes, and he couldn't see his expression clearly from a distance, but his face must not be able to see anywhere!

Qiu Jinglan snorted: "It's really nothing? ”

Qiu Yulan was embarrassed and disagreed: "Don't bring such a short ...... Okay, okay, he's still a little important, but how can he compare to his brother, isn't it? ”

"That's pretty much it." Qiu Jinglan was very satisfied with her sister's obedience, thought about it and said, "Since you want to have a showdown with him now, then I think it is better for me to invite him to the study." Otherwise, here in the Ruan family, it is not good for you to get along with him in private, if you enter the palace, you may not have a chance, and you may even ask someone to listen to the wall. ”

frowned again and asked, "What is the origin of that Miss Ou?" ”

"Didn't she tell you all the details just now?" Qiu Yulan immediately seized the opportunity to tease back.

Qiu Jinglan glared at her: "You brought the person!" ”

"I didn't bring ...... She came after her! Qiu Yulan pouted, "I still don't know what her name is!" ”

Qiu Jinglan frowned and said, "Really? Don't give her a chance to come over in the future, I'm so busy now that I don't have time to pay attention to her. ”

Qiu Yulan naturally agreed: "It's the first time I've met her, and I'll avoid her in the future." She was not surprised at all that Qiu Jinglan did not want to respond to Ou Qinglan's enthusiasm, after all, Qiu Jinglan was now in the filial piety period - he couldn't respond for the sake of morality.

What's more, there are more beauties chasing Qiu Jinglan and running, although Ou Qinglan may be the most noble one...... However, Qiu Jinglan has never taken women other than her sister too seriously - Hua Shen, who made great efforts for him to make friends with the nobles in Beijing, is an example: she introduced Ling Zui to Qiu Jinglan on the front foot, and the Oiran on the back foot, Qiu Jinglan threw her to help Penglai Yue......

Therefore, Ou Qinglan is such a straight-tempered eldest lady who has fallen in love with Qiu Jinglan, and she is afraid that she will be sad in the future......

"Then you want a snack!" Qiu Jinglan reminded, "This master is not so easy to dodge, don't help but entangle her!" ”

"How could I not help it!" Qiu Yulan said proudly, "I'm very hard-hearted!" Besides, such a good brother has only hurt me for a few years? Someone wants to shoot me, and it's polite that I didn't beat her! ”

Listening to these words, Qiu Jinglan smiled and said: "Don't worry, now that the big sister is here, it is convenient for you to come and go, I will wait for you to get out of the pavilion before marrying a wife, and I will never snub you because of my marriage!" ”

"Brother, you're so nice!" Qiu Yulan had a bright smile on his face, but he was secretly bitter in his heart: I wish you would marry a wife earlier, okay? Now you're half focused on dealing with the situation, and half on me......

The brother and sister got to know each other about the current situation, then ended their separate conversation and walked towards Jiang Yashuang and the others.

When he got closer, Jiang Yashuang stared at Qiu Yulan tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Lanlan?!" ”

"I'll tell you, you come with me!" Qiu Jinglan put aside a sentence, turned around and left-he suddenly had such an arrogant attitude, naturally because he was about to reveal the identity of his brother-in-law, of course, he had to take a shelf: after all, not to mention his own natural hostility towards his brother-in-law, the Jiang family is now powerful, and as Qiu Yulan's maiden family, his attitude is too modest, and he must not be considered to be bent down under the power of the Jiang family, and he has no face with Qiu Yulan.

It's just that Qiu Jinglan estimated Jiang Yashuang, but she didn't estimate Princess Yongfu - Princess Yongfu, who had long been unbearable and relied on Jiang Yashuang's constant appeasement to hold back, immediately sneered: "You dare to talk to my nineteenth cousin like this?!" I really thought that my nineteenth cousin liked your cousin, so he called my nineteenth cousin as a slave, didn't you?! ”

Qiu Yulan was startled, and hurriedly rounded the field: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please don't misunderstand......"

"Misunderstanding?!" Princess Yongfu said angrily, "We saw with our own eyes, you two pulled and pulled in broad daylight, when my nineteenth cousin is dead, isn't it?!" My nineteenth cousin is soft-hearted and tolerates you, but this princess can't tolerate it! ”

Ou Qinglan saw that Qiu Jinglan and Qiu Lulan couldn't get off the stage, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Princess Yongfu, who was about to go berserk: "Your Highness, you can rest your anger, this Ruan Gongzi looks like a very smart person, how could he do unwise things in front of us?" I think they are like brothers and sisters...... Didn't you say there would be an explanation anyway? Why not listen to this explanation? ”

Princess Yongfu has always been pampered, where is this righteous head?! Shake her hand away: "Shut up!" Ruan Qingyan, can you explain to Princess Ben, what is your relationship with Lord Ning Yi?! If you can't say it clearly, this princess will ......"

"Yongfu!" Seeing that the scene was about to freeze, Jiang Yashuang closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "I've been waiting for so long, what about going with him again?" Don't say it! ”

Princess Yongfu has no brothers-in-law, and is close to her cousins and cousins in other families with Queen Jiang, among whom Jiang Yashuang is her cousin who is her own brother, although she is still full of anger when she hears this, she still bites her lip and hates her mouth - although it is said that the gaze at Qiu Jinglan's brothers and sisters is always so unkind.

However, she defended Jiang Yashuang so much, Qiu Jinglan threw a appreciative glance at her, and said to Jiang Yashuang: "Go to the study and say." ”

Jiang Yashuang nodded expressionlessly.

Who knew that the two of them were about to move - another subordinate wiped his cold sweat and rushed to say: "Two fathers-in-law came to the back door, saying that there is an urgent matter to see General Jiang Xiao and Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu!" ”

"See us? Why? Princess Yongfu asked in surprise.

Jiang Yashuang immediately came to his senses: "It must be that we suddenly came to the Ruan family, and the palace knows about it-since we went through the back door, most of them are people sent by the fourth aunt, who came to give us a round!" He immediately stopped his steps in the study and said in a deep voice, "Let them in and ask what the hell is going on!" ”

When everyone heard this, they put aside what Qiu Jinglan wanted to say, and hurriedly greeted the two attendants, but saw that their robes were messy, and they were obviously rushing all the way, and one of them was still holding a brocade box in his arms.

Seeing Jiang Yashuang and Princess Yongfu, he didn't even have time to salute, so he raised his hand and stuffed the brocade box over, and explained one after another: "You guys came to Ruan's house to get this, just because Ruan Gongzi started for the county lord of Ningyi, he was worried that the county lord of Ningyi was young and accidentally fell, so he collected it for the county lord - as a result, he forgot to send it before the county lord entered the palace, and the county lord only remembered it when he arrived in the palace today, and hurriedly ran back to get it, and the others were all curious and wanted to take a look early, so they came together." ”

Another chamberlain said, "Remember, you have never entered the gate of the Ruan family at all, you are all waiting at the back door!" Now all your carriages and horses have been moved to the back door, and the front and rear doors have been told - in short, you have never entered today! ”

Everyone hurriedly nodded together - Princess Yongfu asked, "In the palace?!" ”

"The Queen Mother is furious!" The chamberlain wiped his sweat, "It's too late to elaborate, let's go back first-someone will ask why you took something for so long, and you will say...... The key to the treasury was lost for a while! ”

Princess Yongfu recited her confession several times: "You have all remembered, we all have to say this...... Don't show your stuffing in front of my grandmother! He looked at the two attendants again, "You look at the eyes, didn't you think you were the attendants before you came?" This report is meritorious, and this princess will definitely speak for you when you go back! ”

The two chamberlains were overjoyed, and fell to their knees with a "plop", thanking the princess for her grace without a word.

"Okay, let's go back quickly, lest the queen mother have to be picked by the imperial grandmother for a good Qianqiu Festival!" Princess Yongfu waved her hand at them, urging in distraught - but Qiu Yulan was anxious: "But my brother ...... him" Who knows if Empress Dowager Gu will wait for them to leave, and then send someone to the door to destroy Qiu Jinglan when they turn around?

The reasons are all ready-made now: the Gu family suspects Qiu Jinglan of seducing Deng Yi's fiancΓ©e!

"You go back to ...... first" Qiu Jinglan was only halfway through his words, and the two attendants who were kneeling not far from him and were slowly getting up suddenly moved like rabbits!

A backhand pulled out a delicate crossbow, and the crossbow arrow had a touch of blue on it, and the blind could see that it was highly poisonous!

The other pressed hard with both hands on the sleeve, and a large pink mist erupted from the sleeve!

This change came extremely abruptly - after all, everyone's minds were now focused on the perfunctory questioning of the Empress Dowager Gu after returning to the palace, and they didn't suspect these two chamberlains at all, so that they got closer, and when they realized that something was wrong, the pink fog had instantly filled a radius of several zhang, almost enveloping Qiu Yulan and the others, even the master and servants!

only accidentally inhaled a little, and Qiu Yulan suddenly felt dizzy!

Among the people who were plotted, the highest martial arts were of course Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang.

They were also the quickest to react, holding their breath almost instantlyβ€”at this time, with their light skills, they had no time to withdraw from the range of the poisonous mist.

But the Assassin had apparently taken everything into account: it was impossible for Qiu Jinglan to leave Qiu Jinglan alone!

Jiang Yashuang is impossible to leave Qiu Lulan, Princess Yongfu and Ou Qinglan alone!

So they can't go back at all! There's no way to fight back! You have to save people first!

According to the memories before the poisonous fog spread, Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang cooperated for the first time - Qiu Jinglan and Princess Yongfu were thrown into the place where the poisonous fog behind them was out of reach almost at the same time!

The difference is that Princess Yongfu was held up by a soft force when she landed, and she stumbled and stood firm; On the contrary, Qiu Lulan, who was rescued by Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang at the same time, due to the simultaneous action of the two internal forces, the choice of the landing point was different, and he was not lightly fallen, and he couldn't get up from lying on the ground for a long time!

After a few breaths, it was Ou Qinglan - she was already unconscious when she was thrown out!

"Imperial grandmother she?!" Princess Yongfu was so angry that she clutched her sleeves and looked out into the fog with her feet - the princess had no power to restrain the chicken, and now she couldn't help at all!

"What a ruthless Queen Mother!" Princess Yongfu only said that her imperial grandmother couldn't bear it and took the lead in attacking the queen's party, but Qiu Yulan knew that this assassination was aimed at Qiu Jinglan at all!

How long has it been since she hurriedly ran to Ruan's house after she misunderstood? The Empress Dowager Party actually designed such an assassination in the name of Empress Jiang - it is conceivable that if the assassination is successful, Empress Dowager Gu will just blame the Empress Party for the murder of the former Xihe Wang's son, and maybe even the tragedy of the Ruan and Qiu families thirteen years ago will be framed for the Empress Party!

Qiu Yulan trembled her lips and got up, looking at the poisonous mist that made a dull sound from time to time, but she didn't dare to go in - she was not afraid of death, but afraid of becoming a burden!

After all, ninety percent of her martial arts rely on the subtlety of her skills; In this kind of environment that requires internal strength to resist the poisonous fog, she is no different from ordinary people!

And Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang have not yet come out of the poisonous fog, and she also understands: now that they are on the path in the garden, the poisonous fog happens to become a barrier. The two elder brothers were worried that once they withdrew from the poisonous mist, the assassins would also chase them out, and at that time, Qiu Yulan, Princess Yongfu and Ou Qinglan would all be directly exposed to each other's attacks!

So they'd rather drag each other in the poisonous fog!

"Princess, drag Miss Ou over there to hide in the flowers, and then you hide too...... I'm going to call someone! Qiu Yulan took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and told Princess Yongfu, regardless of whether she would do this or not, just run towards the place with the most people in her memory!
