Chapter 82: A Grasshopper on a Rope
Rao is no matter how stupid Jiang Ning is, she also understands in her heart that she and the Prime Minister's family can now be said to be grasshoppers tied to a rope, with both glory and loss.
"Since the mother's marriage, the old man has been unable to sleep and eat, and now he sees that the mother is quite favored by the emperor, and the old man is relieved."
Jiang Qingyuan said tremblingly, the beard on his upper lip trembling as his lips squirmed as he spoke.
Jiang Ning was a little stunned, obviously as the prime minister of a dynasty, why is this Jiang Qingyuan neither as sleek and sophisticated as Shen Tong, nor as upright and tough as Liu Yue.
On the contrary, he has a simple face.
In Jiang Ning's cognition, it is impossible to sit in the position of prime minister for a long time.
She looked at Jiang Qingyuan's appearance in front of her, and she couldn't confuse him with the mastermind behind the planning of her substitute marriage no matter what.
Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, knowing that if he didn't ask again, he was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to know the truth again.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, carefully looking at Jiang Qingyuan's expression.
"My lord, do you know why I married instead of Ling Qianjin?"
Jiang Qingyuan pursed his lips, wanted to speak and stopped, and didn't say a word for a long time.
In the end, he looked at Jiang Ning and let out a heavy breath.
"Actually, the old man doesn't know about this." He sighed deeply, he lowered his head slowly, and the silver-white hair on the top of his head was exposed in front of Jiang Ning, and even his whole person was a little older.
In fact, Ning'er was quite dissatisfied with this marriage, and begged the old man several times to withdraw from the marriage. But this marriage event is the words of the matchmaker of her parents, and she can't help it. Ning'er quarreled and quarreled, but they were all forcefully suppressed, and in the end, she also let it go and gave up resisting. ”
Jiang Qingyuan lowered his head and said to himself, as if he had fallen into some not-so-good memory.
Jiang Ning didn't interrupt, just listened to him quietly.
"Until the wedding night, there was no abnormality, although Ning'er was depressed all day long and quite dissatisfied with this, but in the end she was forced to choose to compromise."
"There was nothing wrong with dressing her up that day. Until the sedan chair arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ning'er and her mother were really relieved and ready to go to see her. We found out that our daughter had been replaced by You. ”
"At that time, we were completely panicked, and hurriedly sent someone to find Ning'er. However, the team has come to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we dare not miss the auspicious time, so we can only send you to the sedan chair by mistake. ”
"Then, we also sent people to find Ning'er's whereabouts, but I had no choice but to search for Ning'er's whereabouts with hundreds of soldiers from all over Kyoto, but Rao couldn't find Ning'er's whereabouts."
"Niangniang, at that time, our family was really a helpless move made by fainting heads, not asking for Niangniang's understanding, but also begging Niangniang to protect herself in this deep palace."
Jiang Ning herself can't say anything about complaining or not complaining, after all, she also knows in her heart that this matter has reached this point today, and it is not the responsibility of the prime minister.
Besides, if she hadn't entered the harem by mistake, it is estimated that she would not have earned as much money as she has now in her life.
Listening to Jiang Qingyuan's words, Jiang Ning couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
As she expected, the breakthrough of all this was finally on the real prime minister's daughter.
Although it is said that the whole world is not the emperor's land, but this matter has passed for so long, and hundreds of soldiers from the Prime Minister's Mansion have also searched through Kyoto and have not found it.
Besides, so much time has passed, and it is almost difficult to find such a person in Gongguo.
"Perhaps, the prime minister's daughter can have a favorite person?" Jiang Ning asked tentatively.
Jiang Qingyuan was slightly stunned, "Why did Niang Niang ask about this?" ”
Hearing the other party's words, Jiang Ning suddenly understood in his heart that he was also crooked.
Jiang Ning's words changed, and he turned to Jiang Qingyuan and said, "Prime Minister, do you still remember what the emperor said about poisoning the harem today?" ”
Jiang Qingyuan was slightly stunned, but he still nodded slowly.
"That meal was actually sent down to the palace and the emperor's meal." Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and now that she thought of that night, she still felt palpitations.
"That meal was made by the palace himself, and it was placed in the emperor's favorite meal."
As Jiang Ning said, Jiang Qingyuan's eyes widened and widened.
"What do you mean by that there might be a connection between these two things?"
Jiang Ning nodded slowly, "The emperor and I both feel that the real purpose of the other party should be to blame the palace and implicate the prime minister's family." ”
She casually buried her head in tea, seemingly unconcerned, but her eyes always swept over Jiang Qingyuan's face inadvertently.
Jiang Qingyuan lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he looked up at Jiang Ning, his cloudy eyes kept widening.
"The emperor, the emperor knows, knows that you are?"
"Hmm." Jiang Ning nodded, "From the first day of entering the palace, the emperor already knew. ”
Jiang Qingyuan was silent for a moment, and finally exhaled slowly, "That's it, it's fine." ”
"As Niangniang guessed, Ning'er is indeed a favorite person." When Jiang Qingyuan said this, there was a heavy sigh in his words.
Presumably, for the disappearance of the real daughter, the prime minister himself is also quite remorseful in his heart.
"Ning'er has not been in good health since she was a child, and since she was born, she has been suffering from a vicious disease, and the doctors she has seen are helpless, and they all say that she will not live to be twenty years old. Until the year before last, it was rumored that a famous doctor came to Kyoto, who rejuvenated with his magic hand and cured the disease. So we held the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and took Ning'er to meet the legendary famous doctor. ”
"That doctor really lives up to his reputation, he comes and goes, Ning'er's complexion is getting better and better day by day, and his temperament is also lively day by day, my wife and I are happy in our eyes, until one time, when we accompanied Ning'er to see a doctor, we suddenly found that she and the apprentice in the doctor's door secretly sent Qiubo, and we panicked."
Jiang Qingyuan said this, and the sigh in his words became more and more intense.
"The next thing, I guess Niangniang can probably guess it."
Jiang Ning nodded and said no more.
The next thing was probably to prevent his daughter from being bewitched by this medical apprentice, so Jiang Qingyuan and Mu Jingzhao hit it off and finalized the marriage of the prime minister's daughter and Mu Jingzhao.
"Did the prime minister go to the famous doctor's place to find Ling Qian's daughter?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ning immediately regretted it, the first choice of a normal person must be to go to a famous doctor to find it, and presumably the prime minister must have chosen this way.
"I did, but according to the man who remained, the doctor had already traveled with his apprentice, and no one knew where he went."
