Chapter Fifty-Six: Miserable!
The grandmother of the husband's family spoke, and the matter involved the interests of the family.
Qiu Lulan was reluctant, so he had to send Mrs. Tao to the soft sedan chair, and after seeing the sedan chair leave, he led people to the Qi King Annex.
When she arrived, Empress Jiang and Concubine Tong, who were one step ahead, had already ordered someone to take care of the entire annex.
Even Qiu Yulan's niece came, and the people guarding the door still stopped and didn't let them in, so they had to go inside to tell them, and only when Nijin came out to recognize them did they let them go - this strictness is simply more than the palace, you must know that Qiu Yulan doesn't stop much when he goes to the palace.
"How is Your Highness? My grandmother was not very relieved and sent me over to run errands. Qiu Yulan and Ni Jin asked quietly as they walked inside.
"I just took the medicine, and the doctor said it would be hard to say." Ni Jin showed sympathy for King Qi when he made a small report to Qiu Yulan before, and this pity was even more overflowing, "Your Highness is also a nobleman, and this time the princess is actually ...... Alas! But I hope Your Highness is safe and sound! ”
Qiu Yulan squinted her eyes and was about to answer, but Ni Jin said again, "This concubine is guarding in front of His Royal Highness, and Niangniang is asking." ”
"Could it be that Old Madam Tao didn't send me here to investigate this matter, but to observe the queen's affairs?" Qiu Yulan was slightly stunned when she heard this, but Ni Jin continued: "But Niangniang is just asking casually, and the important people have been passed to the Queen Mother." ”
The voice was low, "Niangniang is in a very bad mood, you are here, just persuade me!" ”
Qiu Yulan laughed dryly: "In terms of understanding Niangniang, it is rare for me to see Niangniang, how can I compare to you?" But I don't know what to say when I go? ”
Ni Jin smiled: "How can you say so? You're a serious junior, and you're a servant, ......."
While speaking, they suddenly heard a gentle cough not far away, and the two looked up, but saw Lady Lin standing at the end of the corridor with her sleeves folded, glaring at them.
The queen's voice came from the room behind Lady Lin: "What's wrong?" ”
"Niangniang, the nineteenth young lady is here." Lady Lin hurriedly turned around and saluted, and said softly.
"Come in." Empress Jiang's tone was faint and she couldn't hear her joy and anger - when Qiu Yulan entered the door to ask for peace, she looked quietly, and saw that her face was tense and her eyebrows were deeply locked, knowing that the queen would definitely be 100,000 depressed, and she couldn't think of any persuasive words for a while, and was racking her brains, but the queen glanced at her: "You came just in time." ”
Qiu Yulan didn't understand what he meant, so he put on a solemn look and lowered his hands to lead the training.
But then the queen did not continue, but ordered to clear the field.
When the two of them were left alone in this room, the queen beckoned her to her, turned her eyes on her porcelain-like neck, and said softly: "This gold chain you are wearing, there is something hidden in the pendant......
Qiu Yulan's heart suddenly burst - he suddenly understood the real reason why Old Madam Tao sent her over!
She subconsciously grabbed the jade box inside her clothes: "...... Be. ”
"I know this is a thought left by your father, and it was not easy for it to fall into your hands." Empress Jiang sighed, "It's your brother who loves you, otherwise how could he give you two of such a precious thing?" I also know that Qiyun has treated you badly since the first time I met you, and to be honest, even though she is my niece, I don't like her! But now, the daughter of the Jiang family can't be charged with murdering the emperor's heir! King Qi ...... Just now I asked the doctor privately, and the doctor said that it was not good! ”
"I understand what the fourth aunt said." Qiu Yulan lowered his head and hid his ugly face, "But brother, he will go west at the beginning of spring next year......"
If it is something else, such as a treasure of the city or the title of a poem, Qiu Yulan will definitely give it with both hands without saying a word! But there is no need to say how dangerous Qiu Jinglan's trip is, how can Qiu Jinglan not want to leave it to him at such a critical juncture? Even if he still has it in his hand, but ...... Who can guarantee that he will be in danger once? Who thinks there are too many things to save their lives?
She was willing to take the previous medicine to save Xue Rongying, also because Xue Chang was benevolent and righteous to Qiu Jinglan, and Qiu Yulan thought that she had the obligation to repay the favor on behalf of her brother. And she and Qiu Jinglan don't owe anything to King Qi!
This highness is very pitiful, but after all, it is his brother who is important!
So even if he knew that since Empress Jiang had opened this mouth, she would definitely not dispel her thoughts easily, Qiu Lulan still politely refused-if King Qi really died, the Jiang family would indeed be very passive, but it would only be passive, Qiu Lulan didn't believe that Jiang Banchao would not even be able to resist such a little trouble, so what kind of reserve!
"Green Snow Mountain Villa is not very far from here." Empress Jiang looked at her for a while, took a sip of the tea that was already cold, and said lightly, "If this palace sends someone to find Qiu Jinglan, he will not refuse." If not...... You think he'll take this one with you when he leaves? Will he give it to you in that case? You only recently learned that he was going west next spring, but he himself had already planned it! ”
The queen asked indifferently, "Are you sure you can beat him?" ”
Qiu Yulan pursed her lips and was silent. What the queen said is true, although Qiu Jinglan is very accustomed to her, she regards her eldest brother as her father in her bones, and even Qiu Yulan has to obey in the things he believes, not him listens to Qiu Yulan!
After all, the wife of her nephew who is most valued, Queen Jiang took a shelf, and then said in a soft tone: "Before, you took out a pill to save Xue Rongying, and made a great contribution to our family!" Now in this situation, one is not good, you saved people in vain before! And the Xue family will repay the favor, will my Jiang family be stingy? This time it was all caused by Qiyun, but you were asked to take out such a precious thing to give her the aftermath - I put my words here, if Dafang doesn't compensate you at a sufficient price, don't say that I don't follow, even your grandfather will definitely not sit idly by! ”
That's true.
The Jiang family is now so prominent, and they are arrogant and arrogant, and as a result, they have inherited the favor of granddaughters-in-law one after another...... No matter how partial Qin Guogong is to the big house, it is impossible for Qiu Yulan to suffer such a big loss. After all, this life-saving medicine was given by Qiu Jinglan to his sister personally, not for his sister to keep it for the Jiang family!
Speaking of which, Qiu Yulan knew that this medicine would definitely not be able to be saved. Empress Jiang is obviously determined to get it, and she was half-coaxed and half-deceived by Mrs. Tao, and the queen's henchmen who filled the courtyard forced the queen to order the guards to rob her, and she could not be the opponent of these many people - and greatly offended the queen.
She really didn't expect that she would pay such a big price when she accompanied Mrs. Tao into the palace.
Even if the queen promised to let the big house make up for her...... But, what can the big house make up for her? It's nothing more than money and treasures, how can Qiu Yulan's rich dowry lack these things!
No matter how you think about it, you're miserable!
Watching her take off the gold chain with an expressionless face, although Queen Jiang felt a little guilty in her heart, she also felt unhappy: "Hengzhu, you don't need it now, you can save Xue Rongying before, and now you can save King Qi from the Jiang family. What's the trouble? It's hard that your husband's family is not as good as your brother's teacher! ”
The queen made a conclusion in her heart that she "didn't know the general situation", and decided to mention it to Mrs. Tao and Jiang Yashuang when she had time in the future, don't spoil Qiu Yulan - since you have entered the Jiang family, it is the Jiang family, this time King Qi is dying, according to the queen, the truly virtuous niece and daughter-in-law should take the initiative to offer medicine, instead of letting the elders speak!
Like Qiu Yulan, the elders dare to refuse when they open their mouths, which is even more ignorant and inconsiderate and not generous enough!
"In the end, Princess Ruan has been sick for many years and went early, this girl who has no maternal upbringing, no matter how smart she is, she will inevitably lack rules!" Empress Jiang thought so, took the medicine, and her attitude was not enthusiastic.
She was dissatisfied, and Qiu Yulan was even more aggrieved, took back the empty jade box and hung it around her neck, so she asked to retire under the pretext of not worrying about the two sisters-in-law who were sick and pregnant at home. Empress Jiang achieved her goal, and she was tired of her, so she immediately agreed.
When she returned to the Jiang family's courtyard like this, her face can be imagined!
But no matter how angry he was, he still had to go to Mrs. Tao first.
As soon as Mrs. Tao looked at Qiu Yulan's appearance, she knew that she was angry, the old lady's style of doing things was different from that of the queen, and she had always taken the route of gentleness and love, so she had to be comforted with good words...... At the end, he took a pair of jade pillows from his private room and gave it to her: "I saw it two days ago, and the pattern on it is the autumn frost map, but it should be the name of you and Nineteen, so I will give it to you to play!" ”
"Thank you, grandmother." According to Qiu Yulan's current mood, he didn't want it at all, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he had to endure his anger and thank the reward, and after a perfunctory meeting, he found a chance to say goodbye.
After going out, Su He cautiously asked, "Young lady, ...... are you?" "When I came out of the Qi King Annex, people speculated whether the queen was scolding Qiu Yulan in private?
But now Mrs. Tao is asking for warmth and looking for reasons to send good things, which is not like it.
The other subordinates didn't dare to come over when Qiu Yulan was angry, so Su He tentatively opened his mouth because of the difference between master and servant.
Qiu Yulan ignored her until she returned to her yard, went into the inner room and sat down, without mentioning gossip, first picked up a pot of herbal tea prepared in the ice book on the table, and drank most of the pot in one go-Chun Ran and the others hurriedly grabbed it: "We just came back from the big sun, how can you drink so much?" ”
"If the young lady is thirsty, the maid will go to adjust the warm water, this iced herbal tea can't be poured like this!" Sink into the water and lift your feet and walk out.
"I can't get past this without drinking a little fire!" Qiu Yulan sneered, looked around, sighed, and waved his hand, "Su He stays, you all go down first!" ”
The origin of the medicine in the jade box hanging under the gold chain she wore was best known to Su He, and now if she wants to talk about it, of course, she is looking for Su He.
After saying what had happened angrily, Qiu Yulan gritted his teeth: "...... Didn't you know that Jiang Qiyun bullied King Qi and despised the dignity of the heavenly family! The result? The mother's parents don't care as if they are dead, the fourth aunt ...... The queen's serious mother-in-law just can't beat her ruthlessly! These people all grew up watching Jiang Qiyun, and they don't know her arrogant and unreasonable sex. Child?! King Qi is no longer in the bag, and the clay man still has three points of fire! carelessly let her gain an inch, and now she tricks me into paying her for the aftermath - I really haven't done anything good in my eight lives, and I have such a husband's family! I knew I wouldn't marry ......"
Frightened, Su He rushed up and covered her mouth: "I know that you are angry now, but there are some things that you can't say!" ”
Qiu Yulan pushed her hand away stupidly: "I originally wanted to wait for my brother to leave and quietly stuff it in his bag, but now it's okay, the queen is going to save King Qi-" His eyes suddenly turned red, "If my brother really has a ...... next year's westward journey What is the point of me just cutting Jiang Qiyun alive! ”
"This man hasn't left yet, how can you say such a thing?" Su He was also worried about Qiu Jinglan when she heard this, but she had to persuade Qiu Yulan first, "Besides, maybe there is still the son?" ”
Qiu Yulan sighed: "Even if my brother still has such a precious thing, it is estimated that there are not many, maybe there are only one or two!" It's also that I didn't wake up, my grandmother sent me to the Qi King Annex, and I went without even thinking about it......"
"You just know the old lady's intentions, can you still disobey the orders of the elders?" Su He whispered, "This is also something that can't be helped." ”
"You shouldn't have worn this chain earlier." Qiu Yulan regrets it very much now, "I never told anyone, and my brother gave me that kind of medicine later, if I didn't wear this chain, how could I make the queen guess?" ”
Su He smiled bitterly: "If you don't wear it, the son should hate you again!" ”
Why did Qiu Jinglan give her sister this medicine? Aren't you afraid that your sister will encounter an accident? If Qiu Yulan didn't wear it with her, Qiu Jinglan would either not know, or she would definitely reprimand her if she knew - so today, this medicine was forcibly taken away by the queen, and there was no way to avoid it no matter how you calculated it!
Unless the King of Qi has no self. Kill!
"In the final analysis, there is no way for the big house to teach the girl!" The more Qiu Yulan thought about it, the more angry she became, and she gritted her teeth, "The queen didn't discipline her ruthlessly, one is that King Qi is not born to the queen, and the other is afraid of the big house...... This time, I'm going to see how they compensate me!! ”
But before the big house came to thank her, an unexpected visitor came first.
"Lord Ningxin?" Qiu Yulan was very surprised, "Why did she come to me?" Did you encounter any difficulties? ”
