Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 98
Princess Qing returned to her yard and Chao Yun Muyu came to support her, but Princess Qing waved their hands and almost collapsed on the chair.
Jiang Xiaolou didn’t have a trace of irritation, but his voice was calm: “They have been planning for a long time, and they have specially set a trap to wait for us to jump down. The princess does not need to be so embarrassed.
Princess Qing breathed a sigh of relief in her chest, and tears burst out involuntarily: “Did you not see that, Concubine Shun, He Liansheng, including that Xiao Zhu, the three of them played a scene together. We fell in love with her! The purpose of keeping Xiaozhu deliberately is to arrange this matter reasonably. It’s just a trap—”
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Princess Qing so indignant, but shook his head gently: “Since the princess understands everything, why did you have to argue with the prince just now? In fact, you know very well in your heart that the matter is over. .”
Concubine Qing was breathless with heartache: “Could it be that she is allowed to reverse black and white, right or wrong?”
Jiang Xiaolou personally poured a glass of water, handed it to Princess Qing, and said softly: “The world can’t be as good as you want. The Princess must have enough patience.”
Princess Qing took the glass of water, but found that her fingertips were cold and trembling, and she couldn’t hold the glass firmly. Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaolou gently placed his hand on Princess Qing’s hand, and said lightly: “Be patient, and be patient. You have to have confidence in me, have confidence in yourself, and you should believe in Xue Ning. She is A kind person, God won’t let her die so innocently.”
Her hands are very light, soft, and soft, and the faint gardenia scent from her body is refreshing. Princess Qing raised her eyes and looked at her, her eyes moistened involuntarily. At that moment, she was really like falling into an ice cave, trembling all over, almost unable to say a word, facing the cunning concubine Shun and the shameless He Liansheng, she tried her best to protect her daughter, but she still did No, I only feel that I am extremely timid and incompetent, full of anger, without any evidence, and ultimately powerless!
Jiang Xiaolou looked at such a Princess Qing and was deeply moved. Her mother has long passed away, if she is still alive, she should be the same as Princess Qing to protect herself at all costs. The expression became gentle unconsciously, eyebrows deep, full of tenderness: “The more proud the other party, the easier it is to reveal flaws. Again, let’s wait slowly.”
The two of them were ordered to serve Princess Qing to go to bed and rest. Jiang Xiaolou walked out of the house and looked at the sky full of stars.
Fluttershy went through a night of changes, and felt exhausted, so she hurriedly persuaded, “Miss, go back and rest early. Don’t think about those things anymore, it hurts.”
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Xiaodie and smiled lightly: “The three of us came out of Guose Tianxiang Building together. We thought we could live on each other, but we didn’t expect Xue Ning to leave so early and so suddenly. Today I often feel that maybe this is a dream, and when I wake up, I can still see her smiling face and hear her tell me that this is inappropriate and that is inappropriate.”
Xiaodie was sour in her heart: “Miss, Miss Li is a good person. She died innocently. God will definitely stand on our side and help us find evidence of murder!”
Jiang Xiaolou didn’t speak, her whole body was bathed in the shallow moonlight, and her face didn’t look bloody. After a long time, she whispered softly: “They can make up such a reason. The related aftermath must have been done very well. If you want to look back for the so-called evidence, I am afraid it will be as difficult as heaven.”
Jiang Xiaolou has always been very confident, but this time he is not optimistic about the future of this matter. Xiaodie was surprised and couldn’t help but feel resentful: “Should they let them get away with it?”
Jiang Xiaolou stopped speaking, and the entire courtyard fell into silence.
She raised her head, and a familiar smile appeared in the hazy moon. Xue Ning, please guide me…
A gust of wind came and lifted up her long black hair, bringing bursts of coolness. Strangely, the original anger and disappointment slowly disappeared without a trace, and her heart finally settled and her peace was restored.
After a long time, Jiang Xiaolou suddenly whispered: “No, I was wrong.”
“Miss…”
Jiang Xiaolou’s dark eyes rekindled confidence, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: “Countless winds and waves have come, are you still afraid of celebrating the palace? One time is not good, two times; two times is not good, three times. Try until you succeed, you must Pull out the murderer…”
Blood debt and blood pay off-the last four words are erratic and almost unrealistic.
He Liansheng did what he said, and three days later Jing Zhaoyin captured several celebrities. After a secret interrogation, these people confessed to the kidnapping of the royal carriage carriage, and Jing Zhaoyin was immediately sentenced to execution.
Palace
The study room of the Qing Dynasty Mansion was paved with blue bricks, and the tables and chairs were wiped and rubbed extremely brightly. The most distinctive feature of the study room is a multi-treasure pavilion, on which there are precious multicolored and golden egrets and gilt bronzes. Rare objects such as the Green Tara statue, including calligraphy, inscriptions, enamels and many other treasures, are all beautiful and valuable. Looking from the window, peonies and peony are planted in the yard in front of the study. The extremely precious ink-colored peony in the center was originally tall and tall, but now it is about to wither for some reason, but the peony next to it is in full bloom, like a sky with clouds, enchanting and luxuriant.
King Qing knocked his teacup on the table, sounding like Hong Zhong: “Don’t forget your identity if you go to jail for a hearing!”
A sneer appeared on Princess Qing’s lips: “Don’t I have the right to ask my daughter’s true cause of death?”
King Qing said coldly: “Everything is done in secret. If you are recognized after you go, the reputation of King Qing’s Mansion will be wiped out. Can you afford this responsibility?”
Concubine Qing looked at his husband and faced the death of his biological daughter. He could not blink his eyes. He could pretend that he could not see or hear because he was worried that the reputation of the palace would be affected. There is such a cruel and heartless father in the world. . For a long time, she suddenly laughed, laughter hoarse, mocking, tears rolling down.
King Qing was startled by the cold tears, but quickly turned away: “I don’t want to help the princess go down to rest. She is ill. Find a doctor to show her!”
Princess Qing cried so hard that she couldn’t restrain herself, and Chao Yun Muyu coaxed her back to her yard with coaxing, and then rushed to ask the doctor without stopping. The doctor prescribed a decoction to calm the nerves, and Princess Qing slept all day and night.
Jiang Xiaolou came to see Princess Qing, Chaoyun led her in, Ling Luojin was lying face-in, still sleeping, her long hair scattered beside her pillow, but the roots of her hair were faintly gray. Jiang Xiaolou carefully arranged the corner of the brocade, but Princess Qing suddenly woke up and cried out, “Xue’er!”
The hand he grasped was so gentle and warm, but after seeing her face clearly, the princess’s heart sank unstoppable: “Xiaolou, it’s you–”
Jiang Xiaolou didn’t realize it, but just smiled faintly: “Princess, you are awake.”
Just at this time, Mu Yu brought a bowl of black soup medicine and bowed and said: “Wang Hao, it’s time to drink the medicine.”
Concubine Qing glanced intently, and had to sit up and say, “Come on.”
Mu Yu brought the medicine cup carefully, and was about to wait for Princess Qing to drink it. Jiang Xiaolou asked, “The princess is not sick and painless. What kind of medicine is this drinking?”
Mu Yu was stunned for a while, and immediately replied: “The princess is restless day and night, so the doctor prescribes tranquilizer soup.” Princess An has been taking tranquilizers from a very early age, otherwise she cannot sleep normally.
Jiang Xiaolou’s long eyelashes trembled, and his eyes fell on the dark medicine cup, with a gentle tone: “Wang Hao, the medicine is three-point poison, can you not use it-it’s better not to use it.”
Princess Qing sighed leisurely, unable to conceal her dejected expression: “Xiaolou, this is just a decoction for calming the nerves. If it can keep me from dreaming, I will feel very happy.” After speaking, she seemed to breathe out exhaustedly. He nodded gently to the maid: “Give it to me.” Mu Yu glanced at Jiang Xiaolou and hesitated, the princess said in a deep voice, “Mu Yu.”
Mu Yu had to pass the medicine cup over, and Princess Qing took it, closed her eyes slightly, and drank it.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at her quietly, his eyes motionless, as if thoughtful.
After the princess drank the medicine, her complexion was a little bit bleak, and she looked particularly sleepy, and she closed her eyes soon and fell asleep again.
Jiang Xiaolou was sitting next to him, slowly showing a little compassionate expression in his eyes. She is a hard-hearted person, but she can’t help but sympathize with Princess Qing, let alone Xue Ning? Seeing my mother’s torture with my own eyes, it must be extremely suffering in my heart. Because of this, even if her life is threatened, she is willing to pretend to be ignorant and quietly wait for death to come.
Xue Ning, who looks weak, is actually braver and stronger than anyone else.
Jiang Xiaolou left slowly, and as soon as he left the house, he told Xiaodie: “Call Chu Han over.”
Chu Han has been hiding nearby. Hearing Xiaodie’s call, he quickly appeared in front of Jiang Xiaolou, his tall and strong body surrendered: “Miss, what do you want?”
Jiang Xiaolou’s voice is very calm, without a trace of ups and downs: “You try to get the dregs of the soothing medicine that Princess Qing drank on weekdays, I need to check it.”
Chu Han didn’t raise his eyelids, let alone ask another question, and he immediately disappeared at the gate of the courtyard with a promise.
But in half an hour, Jiang Xiaolou got what she wanted. She hurried out of the Qing Palace and went straight to Fu Chaoxuan’s medical clinic. As soon as he entered the door, he handed him the veil covering the dregs of medicine, and said, “Look what the **** is this?”
Fu Chaoxuan was stunned for an instant, and finally nodded after seeing Jiang Xiaolou’s dusty appearance, and took the medicine **** and studied it carefully for a while. Jiang Xiaolou didn’t bother him, but waited patiently. Fu Chaoxuan frowned lightly: “Inside are cinnabar, magnet, keel, dragon teeth, amber, mother-of-pearl, oyster, amethyst…”
“Are these harmful?” Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were clear, like a cold moonlight.
Fu Chaoxuan thought for a long time, and finally said: “This kind of medicine is mostly ore, which has the nature of heavy sedimentation. The heavy can calm down, and the heavy can dispel cowardice, so it has the effect of calming the mind. Generally, we will use it to treat the burning heart. , Phlegm fire disturbs the heart, mentally disturbed patients.”
“So…there is no problem with the prescription.” Jiang Xiaolou said after listening quietly.
Those clear pupils could almost reflect the shadow of Fu Chaoxuan. His heart jumped slightly for joy again. It took him a long time to calm down and said in a deep voice, “Who is this prescription for?”
Jiang Xiaolou said, “For Princess Qing, because of the death of Princess Yaoxue, the princess is unwell and uneasy, so I have some tranquilizers.”
Fu Chaoxuan frowned: “The princess has a delicate body. You cannot take this medicine for a long time. You must remind her of this.”
“Oh why?”
“This kind of tranquilizer has certain side effects. Long-term use will cause brain damage, and the patient will gradually become dementia and slow thinking. If it is taken all the year round… There are only two possibilities, one is dying in sleep, and the other is becoming A completely useless person.”
“Didn’t you say that this is an ordinary tranquilizer?”
“It is a tranquilizer, but cinnabar is poisonous, and amber is easy to agglomerate. These are usually given to patients with extremely mental disorders to calm them down. If they are taken to ordinary people, the amount and time of administration will vary. Strict control, so it must not be taken for a long time.”
Jiang Xiaolou took a deep breath, his voice was unusually calm: “That’s it.”
Xiaodie was resentful: “Unexpectedly, someone dared to poison Princess Qing’s medicine. It’s too cruel!”
Fu Chaoxuan’s eyes showed a look of surprise: “No, this is not poison. I often prescribe tranquilizers to patients. At best, the dose is a little heavier. The patient must be told not to take it for a long time. If the princess doesn’t know, it may also be. The doctor’s momentary negligence…”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled coldly and said: “Yes, for a moment of negligence, everything is too heavy for the doctor’s medicine, and forgot to take care of the princess and can’t take more, even if it is discovered, it will be fine.”
Fu Chaoxuan felt that Jiang Xiaolou was thinking too much: “Xiaolou, this medicine is indeed for tranquilizing the nerves, and it cannot be regarded as a wrong prescription…”
Princess Qing is usually very cautious. There is a special mother around her who is in charge of eating and drinking. She never allows anyone to intervene, so the other party has no way to start. However, Doctor Zhou of the Royal Palace was highly respected and treated her for many years. He was deeply trusted. This time, he suddenly “a moment of negligence”. The timing of this negligence is really a coincidence! Jiang Xiaolou calmly repacked the medicine slag, and smiled slightly: “Thank you, Doctor Fu, can you prescribe a more suitable prescription for me again?”
Fu Chaoxuan asked about the princess’s symptoms carefully, and he wrote a prescription, and said: “This prescription is mainly based on jujube seed, baiziren, ganoderma, night vine, polygala, albizia bark, etc. It is a nourishing and tranquilizing medicine, and long-term use is not a major problem.” After speaking, he handed the prescription to Jiang Xiaolou. When the other party took it, he grasped the prescription and did not let go, and touched Jiang Xiaolou Weiwei With cold fingertips, his heart beats harder.
“Doctor Fu?”
“Ah, oh.” He lost consciousness for a while, and finally let go, but still reminded: “The doctor just prescribed an important tranquilizer, usually used for real diseases. The nourishing and tranquilizing drugs I prescribe are often used for deficiency diseases, but In order to strengthen the soothing effect, ordinary patients are often equipped with a major soothing medicine… so—”
He was afraid that Jiang Xiaolou would accidentally injure the doctor who prescribed the medicine. Jiang Xiaolou smiled lightly and his eyes were cold as water: “Doctor Fu, I am not a murderer who kills when I see people. Why should I be so afraid?”
Fu Chaoxuan’s face was reddish: “I’m just afraid–”
Fu Chaoxuan’s kindness and integrity look very pedantic, but it is also precious. But for some beasts, this kindness can turn into a terrible connivance and hurt more people.
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt the innocent. But I will never let go of those who make ghosts secretly.” Jiang Xiaolou calmed down and smiled.
When Fu Chaoxuan saw that she was about to go out, he subconsciously chased after her, calling out, “Xiaolou!”
Jiang Xiaolou stopped and looked at him suspiciously. His dark eyes made his heart beat like a drum.
Fu Chao declared calmly: “I hope you are well.”
Fu Chaoxuan’s eyes were filled with involuntary affection, but Jiang Xiao was startled on the floor.
The words in Fu Chaoxuan’s heart throbbed, and he almost blurted out, but a gorgeous carriage approached and stopped at the entrance of the medical hall. The curtain was lifted, revealing a bright face. The young lady wore a crescent-white embroidered plum-blossom dress, a standard face with melon seeds, two thin willow eyebrows, and a pair of long phoenix eyes with endless beauty, which looked extremely bright and feminine.
Xie Yue was startled when she saw Jiang Xiaolou, Xuan even got out of the carriage wisely, and greeted him with a smile on her face: “Xiaolou, I haven’t seen you for a few days. It’s a coincidence today that I actually met here.”
Jiang Xiaolou nodded, smiled and greeted: “Is your uncle in good health?”
Xie Yue’s smile unconsciously carried a hint of sweetness: “Thanks to Doctor Fu’s recuperation, now my father’s health is better. I am here to thank you today.”
Jiang Xiaolou saw her brows in spring, but Fu Chaoxuan was completely unaware, and couldn’t help but smile lightly: “So, I will come back to visit my uncle another day. There is still an urgent matter today, so let me leave first.”
Watching the palace carriage go away, Fu Chaoxuan was still in a daze. Xie Yue stared at this scene, her eyes were three-point unhappy, but when Fu Chaoxuan turned her face away, her expression became both reserved and noble, and said slowly: “Doctor Fu, are you enamoured of Miss Jiang? ”
Fu Chaoxuan was taken aback, his handsome face turned red all of a sudden, and he coughed lightly: “If there is nothing, Miss Xie doesn’t have to guess.”
Seeing him turning around and leaving, Xie Yue quickly said, “Doctor Fu, this gift…”
Taking a look at the food box in her hand, Fu Chaoxuan’s tone was extremely flat: “As a doctor, it is my job to treat illnesses and save people. Moreover, it is Xiaolou’s request to me to treat Master Xie. There is no need for the eldest lady to specifically thank you, please come back.”
Seeing that the other party left a cold sentence and left, Xie Yue clenched the food box in her hand and felt a sharp tingling pain in her heart. The maid carefully asked, “Miss, what shall we do?”
Xie Yue’s expression was cold: “Go back to the house.”
Jin Yu Man Tang
Jiang Xiaolou ordered the carriage to stop at the door and walked into the hall, only to see the tall hall full of people and people coming and going, and he nodded slightly. At a glance, he saw Huai’an probe his head at the stairs, and Jiang Xiaolou raised a smile: “Is your eldest son upstairs?”
“Yes, my son is upstairs.” Huaian was very happy, and ran up to report.
Xie Liancheng really sat in the elegant room, dressed in a very simple Qingyi, only the cuffs were embroidered with delicate bamboo patterns. He raised his head and saw her when he heard the sound, and smiled subconsciously.
His smile turned out to be transparent in the sun, with a dazzling feeling.
Among the men Jiang Xiaolou had met, the most outstanding were Gu Liunian and Xie Liancheng. Careful comparison, if Gu Liunian’s appearance carries the shocking magnificence and arrogance when the sun rises instantly, then Xie Liancheng’s smile is like a faint moonlight, clear and bright, calm and moving, and inadvertently stunning. .
Jiang Xiaolou smiled: “I have been working hard these few days, thank you for your help.”
Xie Liancheng just smiled softly: “You don’t have to worry about it.”
Huai’an curled his lips secretly: What is the effort? The son didn’t know how much he took to straighten out all these businesses. The Xie family’s business is too busy… Of course, Huai’an’s broken thoughts are afraid to say it. , I only dared to mutter a few words in my heart. However, Xie Liancheng handed the ledger to Jiang Xiaolou: “Please check to see if there are any problems.”
Jiang Xiaolou bends his eyes, but pushes the ledger back to him: “There will be no problem.”
Xie Liancheng was startled, and immediately chuckled, “It seems that a lot of things have happened in the palace in the past two days, can you tell me?”
Jiang Xiaolou’s heart moved slightly, his eyes became darker and darker, but he said: “It’s okay.”
Xie Liancheng showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, and laughed lowly: “First, you are a very cautious person, and you will not easily abandon your business. Second, the pool of Qing Palace is very deep. You have a deep hatred, and you will never get involved for no reason. Therefore, everything needs a reasonable and reasonable reason.”
His eyes were very clear and bright, with a moving force, her heart suddenly became very calm, the original restlessness gradually became very light and light, and the trance disappeared.
She thought for a while, and then replied: “They caught a group of rogues and said they were the killers who killed Xue Ning.”
Xie Liancheng looked at her face: “So, you don’t believe in such a statement.”
Jiang Xiaolou stared at him and slowly said, “Yes, I don’t believe it.”
He smiled lightly, his smile more handsome and clear than moonlight: “You can believe nothing, you just need to believe in your own heart.”
Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: “I spent a lot of money and couldn’t pry Jing Zhaoyin’s mouth open, let alone the origins of those caught gangsters.”
Xie Liancheng looked at her fixedly for a long time, and raised his mouth: “Sure enough, caring is messy, even you are confused? Jing Zhaoyin can’t, just start with others.
Jiang Xiaolou was taken aback: “Are you talking about the jailer? No, I’ve tried this too. The greedy people in the past seem to be iron-hearted this time, and there is no gap to drill.”
Xie Liancheng’s eyes were quiet and soft, but his voice was exceptionally firm: “There are many prisoners in Jing Zhaoyin’s prison. Their crimes are not serious, but they cannot be released immediately. Among them, the wealthy prisoners have the opportunity to visit relatives once a month. It’s a great time to deliver news.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s body was shaken, and the fog in his heart was instantly peeled off, and he immediately understood: “You mean-understand the internal situation through the prisoners inside, and then let the family members who visit relatives pass the news?”
Xie Liancheng’s gaze was calm: “You are very smart, you can see through.”
Jiang Xiaolou let out a sigh of relief, “I was so impatient, I even ignored this point.”
Seeing that she was about to get up immediately, Xie Liancheng said lightly: “Don’t worry, this matter is on the cusp of the storm, wait for a while.”
Jiang Xiaolou frowned slightly: “The longer the time is, the less evidence will be.”
Xie Liancheng pondered for a moment and shook his head: “This matter involves a lot of people. Even if there is no way to get close to the gangsters to get information, you can start to understand the details of these people from others. I will handle this matter, three days later. , I will give you a satisfactory answer.”
She was slightly stunned, and immediately there was no word.
“Xiaolou,” he raised his head and called her name directly, in an unusually gentle voice, “you panic.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s voice began to tremble: “Am… Am I panicking?”
He didn’t speak immediately, just gently covered her hand, his eyes were so bright at this moment, like the only moon shadow in the dark night, illuminating the desolate darkness. Jiang Xiaolou’s heart seemed to tremble slightly.
“Xiaolou, your smartness lies in your calmness in the face of things, good at seizing opportunities that others don’t notice, and giving the enemy a hard blow. But if you panic, your advantage will become invisible, and your enemy will take the opportunity to find you Weaknesses, understand?”
His eyes were extremely calm and gentle, falling into Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes, and they turned into motivation for support. She suddenly had an illusion that the person in front of her, at this moment, she really wanted to catch, like a drowning man catching the only duckweed, he could help her, make her, and calm her heart… But in a flash , She was startled by her own thoughts, and immediately laughed.
No, the only person in this world who can rely on is himself.
“My son, you are right, I panicked. After your reminder just now, I know what I should do, thank you.” Her voice was colder than before, but she also appeared more calm.
Xie Liancheng was keenly aware of her changes, but he smiled softly and nodded and said, “This is good.”
Jiang Xiaolou returned to Prince Qing’s Mansion. Mu Yu was about to give the princess Qing medicine. Jiang Xiaolou stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
Mu Yu felt that strength was great, and frowned for a while, feeling a little surprised, and said in confusion, “What’s wrong with you?”
Jiang Xiaolou let go. The sun never left a gleam of light on her dark pupils, only a dark shadow remained: “I have something important to discuss with the princess, you go out first.”
Princess Qing nodded slightly to her, and Mu Yu stepped back with a puzzled face.
“Xiaolou, what’s the matter with you today, why don’t you let me drink medicine?”
Jiang Xiaolou looked at her with a cold expression: “Wang Hao, when did you start taking this medicine?”
Concubine Qing’s expression was full of puzzlement, and he hesitated for a while before saying: “This medicine… has been taken from a month ago to today.”
Jiang Xiaolou breathed slightly, and then briefly explained Fu Chaoxuan’s words. Princess Qing was completely stunned, and said in shock: “Dr. Zhou has been seeing me for 15 years. He knows my physical condition very well and has never made any mistakes–”
Jiang Xiaolou sneered unconsciously: “Is it a mistake or intentional, Princess, you should reassess.”
Princess Qing trembled all over, staring carefully, Jiang Xiaolou looked extremely solemn, and every word came from the heart.
There is a pity in Jiang Xiaolou’s voice: “If you are so depressed, others will only say that you think too much about women, you are in a trance, and even lose your constancy. Qing Palace must not have a crazy mistress, and then the lord can use it. I forsake you for this reason, right?”
Princess Qing smiled sadly, and said solemnly: “Yes, if I die, or if I am not qualified to continue to be the princess, they will naturally destroy me. Someone has waited for this opportunity for more than ten years…” The long tail armor had been left an inch long, but it was all broken at the moment of making a fist. The crisp sound sounded particularly shocking, “Shun concubine, I am not at odds with you! I will enter the palace immediately and tell the queen empress.” , Even if everyone knows the trouble, I have to ask for justice!”
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were exceptionally bright, but his voice was extremely condensed: “The princess was relieved of his anger. Doctor Zhou received a lot of money before he was sealed. It can be inferred that the doctor was not careful. Even if you prove that he did it deliberately, how could you burn this fire on Concubine Shun, don’t forget, King Qing doesn’t believe you.”
Princess Qing was so angry that she couldn’t speak, she was incompetent, everything was her incompetence!
Jiang Xiaolou just smiled, with the brightness of water in his eyes: “Wang Hao, I have already said that there is no need to be impatient. The more rampant the other party, the more opportunities we have. Now-I need your patience.” Jiang Xiaolou said. Halfway through, I suddenly heard someone report from outside: “The princess, my son, please.”
Princess Qing and Jiang Xiaolou looked at each other and said quickly: “Call him in.”
He Lianyue slowly opened the bead curtain, and almost walked over the corner of the wall. His thin figure looked a little cringe, and his beautiful face even dared not lift it.
Concubine Qing looked at him with a feeling of hatred for iron and steel. Why Shunfei’s two sons are both civil and military, and the heroic and heroic, but the child she gave birth to is so stupid, it is really unfair! She held back her heartache and asked, “What are you doing?”
Helianyueqi looked at her Ai Ai, his wet eyes could not speak. In fact, his face is very delicate and his features are even more delicate than a girl. It’s a pity that standing with his two handsome and handsome brothers in Yushu Linfeng looked extremely humble, always shrunk their heads and looked like they were afraid of encountering strangers. Jiang Xiaolou had contacted him several times, but his efforts were completely in vain, and there was no way to communicate with him.
Seeing him shrinking and panic, Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly: “Is the elder son visiting the princess?”
Qing Wang Shizi’s eyes turned red, but he nodded seriously.
Princess Qing heard that the other party was coming to visit her, her heart warmed, and her expression eased: “I’m sorry, mother scolded you again.”
He Lianyue just shook his head again, her eyes were full of anxiety, her long eyelashes trembling, she stood at a loss.
Jiang Xiaolou’s gaze was soft, and Prince Qing was actually not stupid at all, but he was not so savvy and smart enough to be so despised. If he is just the son of ordinary people, there is no need to be compared with his brother repeatedly.
“Since you are visiting the princess, then come closer and speak clearly.” Jiang Xiaolou smiled lightly and encouraged him: “Sit here and talk with the princess.”
He Lianyue really obediently walked over, sitting on the brocade stool, but his shoulders were trembling, and his fingers were rubbing each other nervously in his sleeves. It was indeed unspeakable nervousness.
Jiang Xiaolou’s voice became more and more gentle: “Wang Hao, I have something to do, go out first.”
Princess Qing was about to nod her head but saw Helianyue suddenly stand up again, hesitating: “Wait…wait…”
Jiang Xiaolou stopped and looked back at him: “Is there anything wrong with the world?”
Qing Wang Shizi slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves. After a long time, he finally made up his mind and made up his mind. After trembling in his arms for a long time, he took out a crumpled piece of paper and handed it over. His hands were held high, but his head was drooping, and he didn’t even dare to really look at Jiang Xiaolou.
Jiang Xiaolou took the paper in his hand and unfolded it. The handwriting on it was familiar and shocking.
“Xiaolou, see words like a meeting. This is the first and last letter I wrote to you. Returning to the Palace of Qing Dynasty… It is not what I wished. Everyone except my mother hates me. I am very deeply in my heart. Sad, I wish I would always be with my mother. But if I didn’t do what I wanted, I ended up regretting it.” Behind it was a series of vague traces, like the marks of tears. Jiang Xiaolou’s heart tightened suddenly, and he continued to look down.
“For many years, it is not filial to be filial to my mother’s knees. After I leave, please take care of my mother for me, visit and comfort her from time to time, so that she will not be sad because of me. I have been with you for a long time. For a long time, we will know each other better, so I will be straightforward in speaking, please forgive me. My life is rough, it is a destiny arrangement, no one is special. Xiaolou, you and I are completely different, everything is up to you, I hope you make a decision early and cut Don’t let your sincerity be disappointed… It’s a distance between the sea and the sky, so please cherish it.”
Princess Qing couldn’t see it and couldn’t help but ask: “What is that?”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled at her slightly: “It’s just a graffiti.” After speaking, she folded the letter and put it in her sleeve.
Back in the bedroom, Jiang Xiaolou unfolded the letter and read it several times. Until Xiaodie persuaded: “Miss, although Miss Li is gone, but the slave is still with you.”
Jiang Xiaolou just lifted his lips, his expression was either happy or sad: “Thank you.”
Fluttershy listened, her eyes flushed suddenly, and her tears fell.
Jiang Xiaolou just watched Xiaodie weep, and the tears seemed to flow directly into her heart. Yes, everyone has the right to cry and can vent their sadness at will. She doesn’t cry, and she doesn’t even have a hint of tears. It can be seen that she can no longer be regarded as a normal woman. Jiang Xiaolou lowered his head, quietly looking at the letter in his hand, unconsciously stretched out his hand and stroked it gently: Xue Ning, soon, I am about to find the murderer, please be patient, and be patient.
As soon as the three-day period expired, Jiang Xiaolou arrived at Jinyuman Hall as scheduled and found Xie Liancheng standing at the door waiting for her. Just as he was about to speak, he had already walked beside her, the lake-like deep black pupil with a shallow smile: “Let’s go.”
The carriage drove out of the city and did not reach its destination until evening. It was a remote farmhouse with leaky windows and rainy roof, making it extremely shabby. At the door, there were a few ragged children playing in the mud. Hearing the sound of the wheels, they couldn’t help looking up, curiously tilting their heads to look at the uninvited guests in front of them.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Xie Liancheng with a little surprise on his face: “Where is this place?”
Xie Liancheng’s expression was a bit complicated, and he sighed long. : “You’ll know when you come with me.”
There was a middle-aged woman in the farmhouse with disheveled hair and protruding cheekbones. She was dressed in a natural linen, with patches on her waist and a baby in her arms. She saw two strangers entering the house. Startled, he stood up and grabbed the hatchet beside him vigilantly: “Who are you?”
Her hand holding the hatchet was full of calluses, trembling constantly, and her voice was trembling.
Xie Liancheng just whispered softly: “This sister-in-law does not need to be nervous, we are just passing guests, and there is no malice.”
The peasant woman saw him with a gentle expression and elegant description, a little relieved, but her face was still full of suspiciousness: “What are you going to do?”
“We just want to ask for a bowl of water to drink.” Huai’an took the place of the master and said with goodness.
The two masters in front of me, handsome men, beautiful women, kind and gentle faces, really didn’t look like bad guys. The peasant woman thought for a while, and finally nodded: “Okay. Wait a while.” She put down her hatchet, turned around and touched a broken bowl by the water tank, carefully scooping a little water and handing it over.
The whole house is very dilapidated. Except for a bed, there is only one bench. The only thing that can be called furniture is the wooden cabinet on the east wall. There was a creaking sound from time to time, and the red paint on it had been mottled off. Jiang Xiaolou didn’t understand Xie Liancheng’s intentions, so he listened to Huai’an taking the opportunity to say: “Sister-in-law is at home alone, and you don’t care about the children running around. What if you accidentally fall on the mountain?”
The peasant woman’s expression eased: “They are all children of poor families, so what matters. Besides, if his father is not there, I can manage it by myself!”
Xie Liancheng said, “I don’t know where the Patriarch Ling went?”
The woman seemed to be caught up in her sadness, turned her head and burst into tears.
Xie Liancheng said: “Meeting means fate. Since the sister-in-law gave us a bowl of water and repayed us with peaches, I would also like to hear your troubles.”
The peasant woman burst into tears: “I am in charge…” She paused when she said that, with a trace of shame on her face, “Some people say that they robbed the property of the palace and went to the big prison.”
Huai’an made a jaw-dropping look: “So you robbed the carriage of the palace?”
The peasant woman was shocked and pale: “No, no, how dare we rob the carriage of the palace, it is all wrong!”
Jiang Xiaolou’s gaze slowly became solemn, and he spoke for the first time: “But I heard–people have already confessed their sins.”
The peasant woman sipped on the ground: “Bah! It’s all those **** who beat my boss as a trick! We usually only get some scattered silver. How dare to move the carriage of the palace? It’s not crazy!”
Jiang Xiaolou stared at her, staring at her, “You didn’t kill anyone?”
The peasant woman was frightened by her eyes, and subconsciously said: “When…Of course…we are all honest farmers. If the fields were not harvested by the corrupt officials, why would we fall into the grass? Everyone understands this in their hearts. , We just want to live. The days are too poor and we have to take a **** to robbery! Even if you grab some money, who will fight for your life? Killing is worth your life! In the past they only dared to robbery in the small woods Single passers-by, how dare to touch the carriage of the palace? Isn’t this what it means to die?”
The smile on Jiang Xiaolou’s lips suddenly became cold, Shun Fei, a few poor peasants who were too poor to survive, and whose weapons were only hoes, were you so-called vicious and vicious bandits? !
