In the end, Qiu Ju's brother carried Qiu Ju outside to cut it.

Qiu Ju's screams resounded throughout the palace.

After that, a bloodstained oxcart drove away from the back gate of the palace, and Brother Qiu Ju said goodbye to Jinshu standing at the back door with a smile holding a hundred taels of silver.

Watching the other party walk to the door, Jin Shu told Yunluo the reason.

Back in the backyard, Jinshu couldn't help but complain to Yunluo, "Princess, he cut off his own sister's hand, and he looks very happy." ”

Yunluo turned his head to look at her, "Family is not as long as there is a blood relationship, family affection must also be maintained, he didn't even hesitate, it can be seen that Qiu Ju is not good to their family." ”

"Such a family member is worse than a stranger. ”

Jin Shu nodded approvingly, "That's right." ”

Yunluo handed the things that Qiu Ju had written just now to Jinshu, "This is basically my dowry, you bring the jade pendant that proves me, and go to the shopkeeper one by one, just say that I will personally look at all the accounts in the future, and let them summarize the accounts of previous years and hand them over to me first." ”

In her previous life, as the queen mother, she managed the general ledger of the entire harem, and now these are really easy for her.

"Okay, in the future, the slave and maid will go to collect the accounts every year, seal the account books and money and bring them back. Jin Shu said.

Yunluo glanced at her and withdrew his gaze, "You're thinking carefully. ”

Before Jinshu went out, he went to the back kitchen to get dinner for Yunluo.

It's just that as soon as I walked to the door, I heard the voices of the cooks inside.

"You all heard that scream just now, I heard that the princess asked Qiu Ju's two arms to be cut off. ”

"I've heard it too, it seems to be cut by Qiu Ju's brother, and the sound is ...... I'm going to have nightmares this night. ”

"Since Yao's mother died, the princess has been like a different person, as long as people close to her don't end well, the brocade book is still rushing to her courtyard to serve. ”

As soon as this voice came out, a sigh immediately sounded in the back kitchen.

Jin Shu lowered his eyes, pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as she entered, everyone was instantly silenced.

Jin Shu said expressionlessly, "I'm here to get the princess's dinner, I have something to do and go out of the house, you guys hurry up." ”

"That's it. The cook in charge of the meal hurriedly opened the pot to pack the meal, and the hand holding the shovel was a little trembling.

......

In the east courtyard, Gu Tang hesitated at the door of Jiang Lingyan's study for a while before stepping in.

Jiang Lingyan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and asked in a cold voice, "Did you ask clearly?"

"Clear. Gu Tang walked over, "The scream in the afternoon was Qiu Ju's, and the princess ordered someone to cut off her arms and gave her brother a hundred taels, so that they could look at Qiu Ju and don't let her kill herself." ”

Jiang Lingyan paused at the tip of his pen and raised his eyes to look over, "Are you sure it was ordered by the princess?"

"Sure. ”

After being silent for about a cup of tea, Jiang Lingyan spoke again, "How could she suddenly become like this?"

Gu Tang shook his head, "Now the people in the house are discussing, since the princess's temperament has changed greatly, the people around her have become miserable one by one, first Yao's mother, then the side concubine, and now Qiu Ju." ”

"The methods are cruel, General Yun is an upright person, and he never abuses lynching his subordinates, this is definitely not brought out from the General's Mansion. ”

Leng Lichuan put down the pen and instructed Gu Tang, "You go and check, what the princess has experienced in the backyard in the past six months, the more detailed the better." ”

Gu Tang clenched his fists and responded, "Yes, my subordinates will do it." ”

In the evening, Jin Shu came back, holding the letters written to Yunluo by various shopkeepers in his hands.

Most of the letters were words of loyalty, and some people heard that the general's wife was ill and made a point of asking about her mother's condition.

Yunluo read all these letters, and it was already late at night.

Jin Shu came over with the lamp and said softly, "Princess, I went out just now, and I saw that the light in the prince's study was still on, and it happened that two stacks of supper snacks were newly made in the kitchen, do you want to send them to the prince?"

Whether she really thinks about Yunluo, for the sake of long-term planning, she still has to be favored first.

Yunluo put away the letterhead, raised his eyes and looked at the brocade book, and slowly sat up from the table, "You reminded me, the prince said that he would give me a book of resignation after the birthday banquet, but no one sent it now." ”

"Retirement?" Jin Shu was very surprised.

"Yes, I don't want to stay in this palace, and I told the prince that I will take you with me when I leave, if you have a better place to go, you can do it. Yunluo walked slowly back to the bed.

Jin Shu was stunned and hurriedly knelt down, "The slave and maid have sworn that they will follow the princess in this life and this life, and wherever the princess goes, the slave and maid will go." ”

Yunluo didn't look at her, and directly lifted the quilt and lay in.

"Very good, I am tired, go down. ”

There was a heavy tiredness in her voice.

Jin Shu got up from the ground, turned off the lights, turned around and went out.

The next day, Yunluo finished breakfast and went straight to the East Courtyard.

She thought about it all night, but she still had to find Jiang Lingyan to ask for a resignation.

It's best to get it smoothly, and if she can't, she also has the means to get a letter of resignation.

At this time, Jiang Lingyan's study.

Because he hadn't slept all night, Jiang Lingyan's face was not very good.

Gu Tang stood next to him and replied, "The subordinates interrogated all night, and the princess was treated harshly by her subordinates since she moved to the backyard, and several side concubines also went over from time to time to find faults, and the princess endured it." ”

"It had snowed heavily for several days before, and the princess contracted the wind cold, and lay in bed for a few days, and no one brought food for those days, and when she woke up, she became what she is now. ”

The subordinates thought that it should be that the princess suddenly figured out something when she was sick, so it would be like this. ”

After listening to Gu Tang's words, Jiang Lingyan fell into deep thought, "Is there anything else besides these?"

Gu Tang shook his head. "No more. ”

"You continue to investigate, and tell this king any results. Jiang Lingyan stared at his eyebrows.

"Yes. Gu Tang answered and left the study.

After Gu Tang left, the room was quiet again, Jiang Lingyan closed his eyes, his whole body was cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

This is what Yunluo saw when he pushed the door in.

The sound of pushing the door sounded, Jiang Lingyan opened his eyes and looked at Yunluo fixedly.

"Why does the prince look at me like this?" Yunluo asked, and walked directly towards him.

Jiang Lingyan asked coldly, "Is there something to do with this king?"

"The prince said before that when the palace banquet is over, he will give me a book of resignation, what about the book?" Yunluo stretched out his hand towards Jiang Lingyan, his fingers were slender and round, like a pearl and jade.

Jiang Lingyan raised his cold eyes, met her gaze, and asked rhetorically, "This king only said that he would consider it, when did he say that he would give you a letter of resignation?"

Yunluo knew that it would not be so smooth to retire the book, so he pretended to be angry and deliberately provoked Jiang Lingyan, "Lord Wang, are you planning to go back on your word?" Or is it that the prince has affection for me and is reluctant to divorce me?"

"I'll tell you up front, I don't like you anymore. ”
