Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 119
Outside the palace gate, Jiang Xiaolou had just stepped onto the carriage, but when he heard Princess Qing chuckle, he couldn’t help but raised his eyes to look at each other in surprise: “Why is mother smiling so happy?”
Princess Qing was sitting in danger, but her expression was as calm as water: “I thought it was a night of fright, but unexpectedly, someone would come to show their courtesy. Sure enough, it’s good for my daughter to be beautiful—”
Fluttershy laughed, Jiang Xiaolou gave her a light glance, Xiaodie hurriedly covered her slick eyes with her sleeves, but she still couldn’t hide her smile.
“Mother has always been an upright person, so she makes me happy anyway.” Jiang Xiaolou smiled.
“Then don’t laugh, let’s talk about serious matters.” Princess Qing patted her hand gently, but softly comforted: “Don’t worry, I will never let He Liansheng’s rebellious son go back. I give you this bad breath.”
Jiang Xiaolou shook his head lightly and said: “The Anhua County King is young and talented, and he is proud of his official career. If nothing happens, he will not only have a worry-free future, but he will also have a wealth of wealth and wealth waiting. Unfortunately, after this incident, he He has been deprived of the title of the county king and became an ordinary citizen. For him, it is more painful than killing him. Mother, you don’t need to pay attention to these villains, just continue to take care of the palace and be your princess.”
After so many things, the princess Qing has long given no hope to the princess. She only regards the position of the princess as a responsibility, and takes care of the palace’s internal affairs with due diligence. She enjoys the flowers, listens to the drama, and stops by on weekdays. Sensual has the power of management firmly in his hands, and no one can stand her. Jiang Xiaolou was right. She had a prominent family background and was backed by a queen. She gave King Qing a hundred courage and didn’t dare to destroy her casually. In the past, she was always messed up by Mrs. Shun, but now it seems that she has been tricked by others. She thought about it, and finally nodded: “Okay, I will listen to you.”
The carriage had left the palace, but suddenly heard a rush of horses hoof catching up from behind, Jiang Xiaolou gently lifted the curtain, but saw a maroon horse galloping past.
With a glimpse of Jinghong, Pei Xuan seemed to notice the person in the carriage. He cast a condescending glance, which happened to be facing Jiang Xiaolou.
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were calm, his expression indifferent, he watched the horse go far.
Princess Qing only heard the messy horseshoes, and she couldn’t help being surprised: “Xiaolou, what are you looking at?”
Jiang Xiaolou just lowered the curtain lightly and smiled slightly: “I’m watching General Pei’s heroic posture.”
Princess Qing frowned, “He’s just a reckless man who kills without blinking an eye. What’s so good about him. Xiaolou, my mother has to remind you that Dugu Liancheng and Gu Liunian are enough, and you must not choose Pei Xuan. The carnival princess is gentle and kind. Although she is not the queen’s biological daughter, she is also loved by the empress. Before marriage, she was healthy and had no symptoms of weakness. By coincidence, she became a sick child after marrying Pei Xuan. I don’t want to talk about it when I walk around, I have never reported such a major event as pregnancy to a child…”
Jiang Xiaolou looked sideways upon hearing this: “Does my mother think the cause of the princess’s death is suspicious?”
Princess Qing opened the curtain and looked out the window. Under the dark night, all the street scenes were shadowy and unreal. She turned her head to look at Jiang Xiaolou, with a three-point alertness in her expression: “About I know a little about the princess’s death, but these words have never been said to anyone, not even the empress. The princess of Carnival has been coldly treated since her marriage, and Pei Xuan respects her very much in front of outsiders. She just treated her as a decoration behind her back. She was a person who kept everything in her heart. She didn’t dare to complain to the Queen Empress, so she had to live her life like a dead tree. She only said that she missed the Queen Empress too much and asked her to be allowed to return. I live in the palace. Think about it, where in the world is there a reason why a married princess will return to live in the palace? The mother naturally refused to allow it. After a long time, she could not bear it, so she quietly sent someone to hand me a note, begging me to help her Intercede. I went to visit while Pei Xuan was out on the expedition, but when I saw her, she had already spoken upside down, her head understood for a while, confused for a while, her expression was very trance, like a wooden man at the mercy of others. I can’t control her language and actions. I thought she was just sick… Six months later, I heard that she died of a dystocia suddenly. I felt strange but I didn’t dare to talk nonsense…”
Jiang Xiaolou listened indifferently, but thought secretly in his heart. Pei Xuan is notoriously bad for female sex. Once a lieutenant doubted whether he liked men, so he sent handsome prisoners of war to him. As a result, he just skinned the two beautiful men and hung them in front of the tent. It has a reputation for wanting nothing. Jiang Xiaolou knew very well that the princess was young and beautiful, and had a lively temperament. She had high hopes for the heroic general and husband-in-law. The lonely life after marriage made her unresolvable irritability, which made her suspicious and eager to get rid of Pei Xuan, but she died of dystocia. what happened?
There seemed to be many secrets in Pei Xuan’s house.
Most people admire a princess, where they dare to pick and choose, and dislike being so ugly, but Pei Xuan is not an ordinary person, and cannot be treated with common sense. The most important thing is that he led the soldiers out after getting married, rarely returned to the capital, even In order to marry the princess and disperse the countless beauties in the mansion, there is no room and no concubine around him. Even if the princess coldly meets the princess, the husband and wife have disagreements. The princess can only break her teeth and swallow it in her belly. After all, the emperor can control the sin of disrespectful princesses, but there is no reason why cows do not drink water and press them.
Jiang Xiaolou thought about it, but he didn’t realize it was just an understatement: “Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and the princess is not everything going well.”
“So if you choose your husband-in-law, you must keep your eyes bright. For example, Prince Jin, who is always the posthumous son of the former prince, is separated from the emperor by one floor. No matter which prince will be in power in the future, he will be the first defender. It will never be too peaceful. As for Gu Liunian, he is even more of a thousand swordsman. I don’t know how many loyal ministers and good generals have been pitted. He just stares at you for the sake of getting better from you. Xiao Lou, you must be careful when dealing with them.”
Jiang Xiaolou responded softly and softly: “Mother don’t worry, I understand.”
Under the candlelight, her profile was soft and serene, as beautiful as white jade. After hearing her promise, a big stone in Princess Qing’s heart fell to the ground.
The carriage stopped in front of the Palace of Qing Dynasty. As soon as it got off the carriage, I saw He Liansheng kneeling on the high steps. The guards on the steps watched his nose, nose, and heart. They didn’t even dare to look at him, one by one. Wooden stakes with pestle. He Liansheng knelt upright, his neck hanging down and said nothing, and he didn’t even lift his eyelids.
Princess Qing looked at him with a sneer in her heart, wishing to go up and slap him, but she still had a face, and she just snorted and went straight into the palace gate. When the others got off the carriage, they didn’t dare to say anything more when seeing this situation, they could only hold their breath and followed the princess into the house. Only Jiang Xiaolou stopped and gave He Liansheng a look with interest.
He Liansheng heard the footsteps, and finally raised his eyes, but was determined to look at Jiang Xiaolou. The expression was icy cold, cold and annoyed, except that there was no guilt and repentance: “Jiang Xiaolou, are you proud this time?”
The dark clouds covered the moonlight. Under the thick night, Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes showed elusive light, and his voice was so calm that there was no trace of emotion: “The county king, oh no, now you should call you He’s winning streak, you should be grateful to me , If I fell into trouble just now, and now you are dead, how come you blame me instead?”
“Thank you? Humph.” He Liansheng sneered, “If it weren’t for you, how could my mother have died of violent death? The vengeance of killing her mother is not shared. It is only natural for me to seek revenge from you. Don’t think that we just let it go!
Jiang Xiaolou looked at him silently, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes: “He Liansheng, do you still know who your mother-killing enemy is? You don’t want to think that the princess is a kind person, since Aunt Shun has no threat to her, why should she kill her. As for me…for an ant, I can’t even think of raising my feet!”
He Liansheng was shocked, staring at her suddenly, his expression changed greatly: “What do you mean?”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly, with a hint of a mischievous smile: “Go back and ask your good sister. The hatred of killing your mother is indeed not shared, but you have to find the right person!” , The strong wind bulged outside the door, the skirt was flying, and the dark cloud covered the moon, an electric light cut through the deep night, and the sky seemed to have been torn through a hole. With a crash, the big raindrops fell.
Xiaodie hurriedly held up the umbrella, Jiang Xiaolou went up the steps, but He Liansheng raised his head after the initial shock and shouted: “You come back, speak clearly!”
“What I should say is clear enough, in fact, you know it in your heart, but it is a pity that you are willing to put hatred on me, and dare not seek revenge from the real murderer, pitiful, sigh–” Jiang Xiaolou left a sentence With laughter, the corners of the green skirt were like an elegant lotus, disappearing by the door in a flash.
He Liansheng stared at the direction of the opponent’s disappearance, his heart complicated and chaotic. She just hinted that Helianxiao was the one who killed Aunt Shun, right? ! Reminiscent of Helianxiao’s indifferent actions, his heart beats like a drum for a while, no, no! Xiao’er has always been a well-behaved and docile girl, how could she do the ugly thing that thunders in the sky! Jiang Xiaolou must have deliberately said this in order to divert her hatred, and she must be afraid of her crazy revenge!
The vicious thoughts in He Liansheng’s heart surged, almost unable to control his thoughts. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the squally wind swept the rainstorm, like countless whips, lashing his head, cheeks, and fronts fiercely, and soon his whole body was soaked. The pampered King of Anhua and the distinguished He Liansheng have ever suffered such humiliation, but he must kneel here. Only by kneeling can he be forgiven by his father. After being robbed of the title by the emperor and demoted to the common people, there will be no further rank from now on. The only life-saving straw is King Qing! He Liansheng closed his eyes tightly and let the rain fall frantically on his face. At this moment, an umbrella was propped on top of his head, blocking the heavy rain——
Suddenly opened his eyes, it was not his sister Helian who caught his eye, but Zuo Xuan, who had a cold face. In the hall, he once hoped that she would plead for himself, but the other party did not, but now she held up an umbrella for him. For a while, he couldn’t tell what kind of complicated emotions were emerging in his heart. He only felt that his eyes were hot, and his body was cold. Between cold and heat, he finally slowly hugged Zuo Xuan’s legs: “My beloved wife is mine. Wrong—”
Zuo Xuan looked down at He Liansheng, who was sobbing silent, with an indifferent and indifferent expression on her face, but a cold color that quietly concealed her eyes. He’s winning streak, He’s winning streak, when you betrayed your relatives, where is your beloved sister, where is your beloved concubine, who really cares for you, who really cares for you, you have lived this whole life, Did you really see it…
He Liansheng’s emotions became more and more excited, and his whole body couldn’t help shaking, his eyes and face were extremely regretful.
Zuo Xuan sighed softly from the bottom of her heart: He Liansheng, you obviously hate me for not being willing to intercede for you today, but now you are holding me tightly, why are you still acting at this point——
He Liansheng knelt for three days and three nights at the gate of the Palace of Qing Dynasty, and finally fainted completely. King Qing had been wandering in the lobby and the study room, his face was uncertain, and when he heard the servants report, he sighed, “Help him in.”
He Liansheng was framed by two servants and walked in. In just three days, he was already described as haggard and dejected, completely different from the noble son in the past. King Qing’s eyes fell on his face, and a trace of sadness passed uncontrollably: “Sheng’er, you have been with your father since you were a child. How I taught you that a man should stand upright and act upright, how can you do this? A despicable thing!”
He Liansheng raised his eyes and said that the man had tears and would not flick, but he was already in tears and his eyes were full of guilt. He knelt at the feet of King Qing, crying in tears: “Father, my son is wrong! My behavior It was my fault to let my father face the face in front of His Majesty and the courtiers, and to ruin himself. Everything is my fault! But please see that my son worked hard in the past and didn’t dare to lose the slightest face. Please give me one last chance. !”
King Qing looked at him and shook his head dejectedly: “It’s not that I forgive or not forgive you. As an official in the DPRK, morality is the most important thing, but you would actually think of such a nasty method. All the conspiracies are exposed today. Come and beg me for your understanding, but there is no regret medicine in the world to take? Can you let everything that happened that night be overthrown, no, you can’t find the face you lost in the Qing Palace, and you can’t find your lost career and self-esteem. ”
He Liansheng gritted his teeth tightly: “The son understands that his sin is unforgivable, and he dare not justify himself. He only asked his father to let his son stay and don’t drive me away. I was born here and grew up here. My father taught me from beginning to end when I was studying and working here. I couldn’t bear to bear on my father, and I couldn’t bear to bear on the palace! If I leave here, I don’t know where else I can go, father!”
Although He Liansheng is a concubine, he has always been arrogant and very self-esteem. In addition, he is smart since childhood, has a strong memory, and can draw inferences from one another, so he is very favored by the prince. From the age of six, he got up at Mao Shi and rested at Shen Shi. He practiced martial arts and studied hard from morning to night. Over the years, he has read through the classics and history, is proficient in learning, and good at riding and shooting. In contrast, Qing Wang Shizi is completely incomparable with him. King Qing always admired this son, valued his efforts and determination, and invited a famous teacher to train him at all costs. He did not live up to King Qing’s hopes, he was sophisticated, clinging, and prosperous at a young age, with a bright future. It’s a pity that on that night, the emperor who was completely angered by his frame of Mingyue County lord’s behavior, he lost both the official and the title. Now he is an ordinary civilian, no different from the Jia, B, C, Ding on the street.
King Qing sighed deeply, and his son, who had been in pain for more than 20 years, felt distressed anyway, but the depression remained stuck in his heart for a long time, making him unable to make up his mind. It took a long time for King Qing to speak: “Prince Qing’s Mansion can give you a shelter, but from now on you must change your mind and be a new man. If not, I will never forgive you again, understand?!”
His expression was extremely solemn, extremely serious, almost utterly loud, with no room for change.
“Yes, father, my son will never repeat the same mistake again.” He Liansheng was overjoyed and kowtowed.
Every time he sees his face, King Qing can’t help but think of the concubine Shun who died of fate, and think of his past youth, naturally he will give birth to a heart of tolerance. Seeing that the other party really repented, he sighed softly: “Although your majesty has made his will, he is now in anger. After two years, I will try to turn around for you and see if I can release an official position.”
These words are purely comforting. Once the royal family is offended, there is no chance of turning over again.
He Liansheng understood in his heart that the flames of hatred were burning, but his face was calm, and he bowed his head deeply: “Thank you, father.”
On the second day, Chu Han was stopped by two guards as soon as he left his yard. He instantly stopped his hands on his waist, and the guard quickly said, “Hey, don’t get me wrong, Brother Chu, it’s the second son who wants to see you. ”
He’s winning streak? Chu Han sneered and said, “Second Young Master and I have nothing to say.”
The guard smiled aloud: “Don’t worry, there must be something good.”
Chu Han was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered something, and then turned a corner: “Okay, please lead the way, please.”
The two took him around into a courtyard, a short walk of blue-walled high-rise houses, and several maids who bowed their heads and held their breaths under the corridor, all with lush green carapace and white long skirts. They were all slim and beautiful. Entering one of them, there are elegant calligraphy and paintings hanging on the face, countless red, white, yellow and green treasures on the Bogu shelf, and a golden fragrance lingering in the fragrance.
Chu Han was looking at it, and a handsome young man in bright and beautiful clothes greeted him and said with a smile: “You are here.”
Chu Han looked at He Liansheng, disgusted with this class of villains, and just nodded faintly, “I wonder if the second son is looking for me?”
“No hurry, let’s sit down and talk about anything.”
The table was full of wine and food, and Chu Han stared suspiciously at each other, standing motionless. He Liansheng smiled and said: “You are afraid that Jiang Xiaolou will know that you will be blamed, the dignified man, although she is a slave, you don’t have to let her drive him like a dog.”
This was clearly a radical technique, and Chu Han raised his brows and immediately took his seat. He Liansheng poured wine for him himself, but Chu Han raised his hand to stop him: “Second Young Master does not need to be polite, Chu Han is just a rough person, not worth it!”
He Liansheng smiled: “You seem to be very hostile to me.”
“Second son, you know that last time, so why pretend to be ignorant.”
He Liansheng played haha: “It’s just to deal with Jiang Xiaolou, not deliberately targeting you, please don’t mind.”
After so many years in the world, have you ever seen such a brazen man! Chu Han’s eyebrows faintly beat, obviously suppressing a trace of anger.
He Liansheng smiled softly: “Chu Han, Jiang Xiaolou is a female generation, what benefits can you get by following her? I can pay a higher price than Jiang Xiaolou, as long as you are willing to serve me.”
Chu Han sneered: “I’m sorry, the second son, I’m nothing but idle clouds and wild cranes, and I can’t stand your appreciation.”
He Liansheng smiled and slapped his hands. A beautiful maid brought up a brocade box. As soon as the box opened, the brilliant golden light instantly dazzled people’s eyes. His expression was exceptionally calm, but his tone contained three points. Cold and cold: “Let’s open the skylight and speak brightly. As long as you are willing to be loyal to me, I will give you a hundred taels of gold and ten beautiful women, and I will ask your father for an official position for you, so that you will have a good career and proud career!”
Chu Han stood up suddenly and swung the box to the ground. The golden ingots rolled to the ground in an instant. His voice became colder and his eyes were fierce: “I’m sorry, I am not interested in your gold. You are even less admirable, so goodbye!”
He was about to turn around and leave, but He Liansheng gave a chuckle and said, “Boss, Xiaowu, Yanyan, Xiaohuan…”
The names came out from his mouth one by one, Chu Han froze, and the legs that were about to step out seemed to be filled with lead. For a moment, he turned his head, and the words were almost squeezed out of his teeth. : “You threatened me with those kids?!”
He Liansheng smiled softly and said, “Yes, you have to make a choice between Jiang Xiaolou and the little dolls you sponsored. How are you going?”
A hint of aquatic scent ignited quietly in the golden beast cauldron, which made people feel peaceful, fragrant and quiet. Jiang Xiaolou took a nap on the couch, a breeze was blowing, the purple bamboo curtains swayed gently, the sunlight poured in from the carved window lattice and turned into fragmented sunset shadows, falling on the copper mirror on the opposite side, burning a golden light.
A figure sneaked in silently, and with a chuckle, the dagger between the sleeves was unsheathed. He walked step by step towards Jiang Xiaolou, his footsteps quietly, just when he saw that he was almost in front of him, there was a silver light in the bronze mirror. Flash, actually mapped that cold light straight on Jiang Xiaolou’s eyebrows.
The edge flashed by, and it was only an instant, she opened her eyes suddenly.
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes suddenly showed a cold light: “Chu Han, I never thought it was you who wanted to kill me.”
Chu Han shuddered suddenly, and fell to his knees after three steps backwards: “Miss——”
Obviously betrayed and assassinated, Jiang Xiaolou’s face was very quiet, too quiet to see the slightest irritation, the thin rouge fainted slightly on her face, and her lips were gently bent, looking As if smiling.
The guilt that was forcibly suppressed turned into the teeth of countless poisonous snakes, and instantly tore Chu Han’s body to pieces. The next moment this rough man suddenly covered his face and wailed: “Miss, I really am sorry!”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaolou seemed to see the hearty and happy Chu Han when he first met. At that time, he was so cool and cheerful, and he acted as he pleased. For some reason, the original anger was disappearing a little bit. She had an intuition that Chu Han was more sad and anguished than her, her thoughts turned, her tone was unusually gentle: “You don’t admire glory, don’t love gold and silver, and don’t like beauty. This move is for those children. Right.”
Chu Han’s cries were heartbreaking, fragmented and completely unstructured. He tremblingly took out a handkerchief from his arms and spread it out. Jiang Xiaolou looked up, and his heart jumped: On the Jinpa, there was a **** ear and a severed finger——
It’s nothing more than using a young child as a hostage, and the other party is so cruel that he will not hesitate to take it off… It is really a villain among the villains, a **** among the slut! Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: “You are so confused, if I really die, those children will really be a dead end. Think about it, how can He Liansheng let this matter go out? You beheaded as a murderer, and then those innocent children can’t run away…”
Chu Han shook his whole body and realized it instantly. His face was full of regrets and regrets. His shoulders were shaking constantly, he could barely speak, and he knelt there motionless.
“I will not take in a person who has betrayed me here, no matter for whatever reason or for whom. So, you go.” Jiang Xiaolou said softly, but his tone was extremely firm.
“Miss, no, please don’t drive me away! Betrayal of the master is a capital crime. Chu Han is willing to receive the punishment, and ask the young lady to kill me directly!” Chu Han lowered his head and said without hesitation.
Chu Han helped Jiang Xiaolou in repaying his favor. Today’s betrayal of Jiang Xiaolou is a dilemma of benevolence and righteousness. It is only because he is a man of flesh and blood that he made such a serious mistake. When he started, he clearly hesitated. It was because his hand shook that the bitter cold light reflected on her face through the mirror. Chu Han is a master of the world, he can’t even blink his eyes when he kills, let alone for the children, but he still hesitated…
The whole room was full of sweet fragrance, but it couldn’t hide the tense atmosphere. Xiaodie came in with the tea tray just at this moment, and she couldn’t help being shocked when she saw this scene. Regardless of the tea tray, he quickly fell to his knees with a pale face: “Miss, the servant girl doesn’t know what Brother Chuhan did wrong, please be merciful, please forgive him this time!”
Jiang Xiaolou’s gaze was indifferent, and he didn’t show the slightest movement. But when she accidentally saw a small belt used to tie the placket of Chu Han’s gray robe, her complexion changed slightly. On the little belt, embroidered with a small orchid, it is beautiful and lifelike. She walked forward slowly, staring at the orchid carefully for a long time, but gently closed her eyes.
On the night before entering the palace, Xue Ning stayed up all night, embroidering her own flower stretch on the head of the bed. When Jiang Xiaolou walked into her room the next morning, he found that her eyes were red and swollen and she was extremely tired. He couldn’t help but curiously drew her embroidery and asked: “What are you embroidering? It’s not like a kerchief. It’s not like a pillow towel, it’s really weird.”
Li Xuening just smiled softly, and said in a low voice: “It’s the **** the skirt…”
“There are no treasures in the Palace of Qing Dynasty, why bother you staying up all night, it’s really crazy.” She couldn’t help laughing.
But Li Xuening just raised her eyes to look at her, her elegant eyes waved: “No, the meaning of doing it yourself is different.”
At that time Jiang Xiaolou just thought she was stupid: “Is it embroidered for my sweetheart?”
Li Xuening’s face blushed, but she said in anguish: “It’s full of nonsense, I am such a ruined body, but living a day counts as a day, how can I drag others…”
The strap at the time was actually given to Chu Han, but Chu Han seemed to know nothing about it. Jiang Xiaolou’s heart moved slightly, as if looking at Chu Han, and at others through him, Chu Han’s hand lightly held the dagger, if Jiang Xiaolou were to drive him away, he would have no face to survive in the world. I would rather blood splatter on the spot and make atonement with death. But the next moment, Jiang Xiaolou said, “You stay, not as an example.”
Chu Han was overjoyed. He didn’t know why Jiang Xiaolou would suddenly change his mind, but he felt that he was amnesty, so he knocked his head quickly, stood up and walked out.
“What are you going to do?” Jiang Xiaolou drank him.
“I’m going to kill the traitor!” Chu Han’s hatred filled his heart. Since he couldn’t save those children, he simply fought He Liansheng to die.
“Stupid!” Jiang Xiaolou looked at him coldly, “Killing a chicken with a sledgehammer to kill He in a row. There is a way to clean your hands. Your life-keep it.”
There was a light rain in the evening, and the weather got colder. All the green lotuses on the lake were defeated, only the dead branches and leaves were left, a look of decadence. The maidservants in the mansion were busy cleaning up the remnants of the lake. They used small boats to salvage the fallen leaves, and replaced the colorful koi and strange-shaped stones. Zuo Xuan led the two maidservants all the way down the stone bridge and went straight into the princess’s courtyard.
Zuo Xuan was dressed in elegant silk and satin makeup, with a light powder on her face, her black eyes were very energetic, and when she walked in, she brought a scent of fragrance to her face.
Princess Qing smiled unconsciously: “Why come here today to sit down?”
Zuo Xuan walked over to salute the princess, and she rustled the golden hairpin on her temples: “My daughter-in-law is a gift from my mother.” After speaking, she told the maid to hold the carved huanghuali food box in her hand. After opening it, Jiang Xiaolou was not surprised. He turned to look at Princess Qing and said, “Does mother like to eat persimmons?”
The princess nodded happily: “Yes, I really like to eat persimmons, and I like the persimmons made by Mrs. Zuo’s own master.”
A smile appeared on Zuo Xuan’s face: “Because my father likes to eat very much, so every time this season my mother will take her maidservants to make persimmons by herself.” As she said, she sat on the side of the mahogany chair next to her. He talked eloquently, “When I was young, I often saw them picking mature persimmons, peeling off the skins with a knife, and then putting them in a sieve to dry them. It took a full two months to dry the persimmons. When it becomes a flat persimmon, you can put it in the jar and cover it for 20 days. The longer the cover, the more hoarfrost, the better the quality of the persimmon. I dare not say anything else, just use the skill of making persimmons. There is not one person in the capital that can match my Zuo’s family. Because my father and mother both love to eat persimmons, a box of persimmons will be sent out for you this year.”
Sure enough, a thick layer of **** frost on the persimmon, like a layer of white crystal powder. Zuo Xuan took the initiative to pick up a persimmon, gently tore it, and pulled out a long thread thinly, revealing the orange flesh, the color is very attractive.
The princess took a bite of the dried persimmons in her hand, and felt that the mouth was full of fluids, and then said to Jiang Xiaolou: “The frost on this dried persimmon is a good medicine to treat fire and aphthous sores. Last year, I got something on my mouth and took hoarfrost. Gently apply it to the wound, it is more effective than taking medicine. Nowadays, the dried persimmons of anyone’s family are not as sweet as Zuo’s. I think this season is here again, but I’m embarrassed to go to Zuo Xueshi’s mansion to ask for it. Today I brought a pillow to the sleepy me.”
Jiang Xiaolou held her hand and said with a gentle smile: “Mother, you forgot that the doctor took special care not to eat cold things. Although this persimmon is good, it is too cold. If you try it more, I’m afraid I will vomit and diarrhea tomorrow and can’t get up.”
Zuo Xuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, “Is the princess unwell recently?”
Princess Qing sighed and said, “Don’t listen to her, it’s just being poor and nervous. I’m just a symptom of common autumn cold here.”
After hearing this sentence, Zuo Xuan quickly took the dried persimmons back from her hand, and persuaded: “If this is the case, then I will take the dried persimmons back first.”
Princess Qing was as greedy as a child, and hurriedly stopped: “No, just keep it. This thing can be stored for some time, and I can eat it after I recover.”
Zuo Xuan couldn’t help laughing when she said this, but Jiang Xiaolou didn’t smile. Her gaze fell on the persimmons, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: “You just said that the prince also loves to eat. Persimmon?”
“Yeah, my father also likes to eat, but I haven’t had time to send it to him.” Zuo Xuan said with certainty despite some doubts.
Jiang Xiaolou stood up suddenly and invited her to say: “You came by coincidence. I still have a piano score for you here. Come with me.”
Zuo Xuan immediately got up to say goodbye to Princess Qing, followed Jiang Xiaolou, and the two walked side by side.
Looking at Zuo Xuan slightly, Jiang Xiaolou said with a smile: “I heard that He Liansheng has been trying to pray for your understanding recently, how is the progress?”
A sneer appeared on Zuo Xuan’s face: “I knew why at the beginning, I hated my parents for being too pedantic and insisting on refusing to let me reconcile with him. Even if I said that it would be useless to break my mouth, who would make people play? Do you know that he knelt outside my father’s study and begged hard, his father felt soft for a while, and he believed in his remorse, let me forgive him and live a good life from now on. Oh, want me to live with a shameless villain, It’s ridiculous and terrible!”
There was only a calm smile on Jiang Xiaolou’s face: “In that case, you won’t be able to get rid of him in your life.”
Zuo Xuan clenched her teeth, her resentment could hardly contain herself: “Unless he dies! Drive me to the extreme, the fish will die!”
It is the least cost-effective to break the net with the wicked fish, Jiang Xiaolou shook his head gently, and said softly: “I have a plan, but you may be affected–”
Zuo Xuan suddenly turned her head and stared at Jiang Xiaolou, her eyes lit up suddenly: “May I be free again?”
“natural.”
The whole night was calm, but the next morning Xiaodie suddenly rushed in in a panic, “Miss, something has happened!”
Jiang Xiaolou slowly sat up from the head of the bed, and gently put on his coat, the whole movement was smooth and orderly, and his tone was extremely soft: “Oh, what’s the matter?”
“King Qing… King Qing is sick!”
Jiang Xiaolou didn’t raise his eyelids, but got out of the bed and sat in front of the bronze mirror, took the comb, and combed the blue silk slowly.
“Miss, why aren’t you in a hurry? The prince began to nausea and vomit in the early hours of this morning, with unbearable abdominal pain, and blood when he was showing respect. Now the whole person is convulsing like a pendulum, and has fainted twice! The princess is anxious. Huo, I beg Miss Hurry up!”
“Mother is really confused. I’m not a doctor. What’s the use if I go there?” Jiang Xiaolou combed all the hair before ordering, “The preparation for breakfast today is lighter, and my throat feels a little uncomfortable. Maybe it was the wind chill…”
“Miss, you are still in the mood for breakfast, now the whole palace is in a mess! Everyone rushed to the main courtyard anxiously, for fear that after falling, people said they don’t care about the prince——”
Jiang Xiaolou didn’t even hear him. He washed, dressed, changed clothes, and even finished his breakfast as usual before he set off.
Last night, King Qing had an unbearable abdominal pain in the middle of the night, so the servant hurried to ask the doctor, and he managed to control his condition after a whole night. Jiang Xiaolou entered the house, only to see the old princess, princess Qing and others sitting anxiously, seeing Jiang Xiaolou coming, princess Qing immediately got up and took her hand, saying: “Last night The prince was okay, but in the middle of the night he suddenly said that his stomach hurts. The servant hurriedly asked me to show me, but I was terrified—”
After all, Wang Qing is her husband, who can’t indulge much true feelings, but there is still affection. Seeing him to die to death, he almost lost a layer of skin from vomiting and diarrhea. In addition to sympathy, Princess Qing also has fears. Three long and two short, this family will lose its barrier in the future.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaolou showed a somewhat surprised look on his face, and said with special concern: “The prince has eaten his stomach?”
Princess Qing shook her head and said, “I have already asked about it. Last night, the lord used half a bowl of bijing porridge, a piece of lotus root and rose sugar cake, two mung bean dumplings, and a steamed duck leg. There is nothing more, all those foods have been checked, and there is no problem, I really don’t know what went wrong—”
The old concubine wrinkled her face and sighed: “I really want to ask the master to come back to see Feng Shui. What kind of evil has been done in our house, one by one unexpectedly…”
Princess Qing and Jiang Xiaolou looked at each other, but they were silent and did not speak. And He Liansheng, He Lianxiao, and others are standing by their side, worried and filial to their children.
At exactly this moment, the doctor opened the curtain and walked out. The old princess asked immediately: “Doctor, what is going on with the prince?”
“The prince… is arsenic. If it weren’t found in time, I’m afraid it would be dead!”
