Queen Flower - Chapter 179
Sima Jin looked at Jiang Lan who was kneeling there, and said solemnly, “What if Yan Zhan was really involved in this matter?”
Jiang Lan held her head high and her will was determined, “Naturally, we will do things according to the rules, we will do what we want, and we must not tolerate it.”
Sima Jin laughed, “If Aiqing thinks so, I’m sure of it, but Aiqing’s body is damaged, and she can only act after Xia Xiang’s diagnosis. Don’t be too anxious.” He bent over to help her up and looked at her His face praised: “Lan’er is indeed a peerless beauty, and my six palaces are colorless.” Since that absurd marriage, Sima Jin has never called a palace concubine again, and every time he thinks of Jiang Lan Lack of interest, lack of interest. After tossing to this day, he finally understood how Sima Lian felt about Jiang Lan. He didn’t feel the same way. Everyone who wanted to come to Sima’s house was the same, but he just hadn’t met that person.
He, Sima Jin, was the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, so he could do whatever he wanted, whoever he wanted, and what he had to struggle with. Once he figured it out, he would immediately take action. What does it matter to a man, men and women are the same. If you can’t enter the harem, it’s not bad to be a favorite.
Jiang Lan felt like she was struck by lightning, so she quickly tried to find a way to run away. This time, the slap in the basket was getting bigger and bigger. Sima Jin couldn’t discover the secrets on her body. If she doesn’t pursue it, could she still get Sima Jin? So I can only think of leaving the palace first, and then try to save Yan Zhan. As for the mission, it is estimated that this time it will be in vain, and I haven’t even seen a shadow until now.
“Aiqing will be raised first, and I will come to see you later.” Sima Jin glanced at Jiang Lan and turned to leave.
Xia Henqiu has been waiting for the results, and soon news came from officers and soldiers who went out to search the city. A few Zhuangzi were found outside Shangjing, and they looked very suspicious. shipped in. If on weekdays, everyone only thinks that rich people are profligate, but since the assassination incident, everyone’s thinking has changed again, who knows what these Zhuangzi are used for? Who can guarantee that it is not a place to hide assassins? At the moment when the grass and trees are full of soldiers, these places look more and more suspicious.
So the officers and soldiers surrounded these problematic Zhuangzi to prevent the people inside from escaping. There are many people who hate him and like him. Don’t care about these people.
Several Zhuangzi turned out to be innocent in the end. They were indeed the entertainment venues of the rich and officials in Beijing, and there were even Jinwu Zangjiao. There is only one Zhuangzi, and although there is no obvious doubt, it always makes people feel very strange.
This Zhuangzi is located not far from the capital and covers a large area, but the owner is not from the capital. It is not clear where the person is, even in the official records, the description is vague, but it is only said that a person from a certain city in the Celestial Dynasty purchased it in what year. The master is absent all year round, but there are many people on Zhuangzi, both men and women. There are all ages, old and young, and the looks range from ordinary to good-looking. A vacant manor with no owner. What do you need so many people to serve? And the number of people is not ordinary, it is like a place for buying and selling slaves.
Xia Henqiu sent people to interrogate these people one by one, and came to a conclusion that these people are well-trained and observe their words and expressions. No water leaks, they are all unanimous. It was said that the master left them here, waiting for the master to come, but the master did not come, and the others asked three questions, saying that they only stayed in this village and never knew what happened outside.
These people are very calm and natural, but the more they are like this, the more suspicious they are. Generally, which of the servants being searched is not panicked and nonsense, how can they all speak as well-organized as them.
So there must be something wrong with this Zhuangzi, but I can’t tell for a while what the problem is. It’s just that these people are not people with high martial arts. Even if they have a little martial arts, they are still in good health. Clothes are still fundamentally different. Xia Henqiu felt that things were a bit tricky. It was difficult for these people to get in touch with Yan Fu, let alone with King Ning.
Xia Henqiu came back from outside the city and immediately went to see the emperor and reported all the results. Sima Jin pondered for a long time and did not respond immediately, but asked him to diagnose Jiang Lan again.
Xia Henqiu couldn’t ask for anything, and finally had the chance to see Jiang Lan again.
When Jiang Lan saw Xia Henqiu, she was very happy. Sima Jin said that as long as Xia Xiang diagnosed her as recovering, she could leave the harem, which was not difficult for her.
It’s just how the palace people who surround him are supposed to send them out?
Xia Henqiu suppressed the joy in her heart and walked into the side hall calmly. She saw Jiang Lan’s face full of sorrow at a glance. She suspected that her injury had changed, and her heart became anxious, so she immediately stepped forward to check the pulse.
Jiang Lan turned sideways, hid her face in his shadow so that the palace servants couldn’t see her face, and then motioned him with his mouth to find a way to deal with them.
Xia Henqiu put her finger on her pulse, and knew that she had recovered a lot, so she couldn’t help but feel relieved, and then she caught sight of the corners of her slightly moving mouth and her eyes, and following her eyes, he saw the number on the side. Numerous palace maids and eunuchs frowned slightly. The emperor’s attitude was really strange.
Xia Henqiu didn’t take back his hand, and turned back to the palace people and said, “I need a very quiet environment, I can’t be disturbed by anyone, and I can’t even breathe, so please wait outside the palace for a while, until I heal Lord Jiang. , please come in again, how about you?”
Those people hesitated for a while, but they left the side hall one after another. If I remember correctly, the healing was done by the two of them indoors alone. Maybe there was such a request.
When they were all gone, Jiang Lan immediately got up from the couch, Xia Henqiu hurriedly held her down, although she said that her injuries were good in the past few days, it was better to rest in peace, not for strenuous exercise. He sat beside her and asked softly, “What happened?”
Jiang Lan lowered her voice, “You go and report to the emperor and say that my injury is healed and I can leave the palace.”
Xia Henqiu looked at her seriously, “What happened?”
Jiang Lan said vaguely, “It’s not a good thing anyway. I always stay here for nothing. This is a harem. How come I’m a man now.”
Xia Henqiu took a careful look at her and hesitated. He had already discovered it when he first came in. She is now a man, except for her face, which is still the same as before, with a flat chest and a neck. She even has an Adam’s apple, that’s why those imperial physicians were so surprised by her pulse but couldn’t think of the reason, and no one could imagine that she turned out to be a daughter.
Jiang Lan knew what he was thinking by looking at his face, but time was running out and it was not appropriate to say more, “I will tell you about my affairs later, and now you will cooperate with me and fish me out first.”
Xia Henqiu chewed the word “fish out” in his mouth, and he couldn’t help laughing. He didn’t need to tell her, he also thought about how to get her to leave the palace quickly, leave the emperor’s side, and stay in Sima Jin’s house. Under his eyes, he was worried.
With such a decision, Jiang Lan felt at ease. With Xia Henqiu’s help, things would be easy to handle. He was always reassuring to do things.
Xia Henqiu continued to help her heal her internal injuries, and after the end, she went to report to the emperor, saying that Han Linjiang’s body had basically recovered, and suggested that he go outside for a walk to recover faster.
The emperor does not doubt that he has him, but he is only slightly regretful. Although he really wanted to leave Jiang Lan in the side hall, after all Jiang Lan is an official of the imperial court. Since he truly appreciates him, it is natural that he cannot stop his career. Criticized, anyway, it will take a long time to come to Japan.
Jiang Lan has been waiting for the result, waiting for the **** who came to announce the emperor’s decree, or Eunuch Li by the emperor’s side, “Fengtian, the emperor’s edict…”
Jiang Lan knelt on the ground to receive the decree. After a bunch of nonsense, she finally understood. It turned out that Sima Jin commended her for her meritorious **** and gave her a promotion and a fortune. She was appointed as the Chief Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, from the fifth-rank official rank, and now does not return to the Ministry of Punishment, she is directly under Xia Henqiu to assist in the assassination case. At the same time, she was also given a mansion with 10,000 taels of gold, which was considered a complete abandonment of her identity as a poor man.
Eunuch Li survived the disaster, and he was also a person who showed his sincerity at a critical moment. Although he suffered serious trauma, the emperor trusted him more and more, and even let him take office with injuries.
Jiang Lan knelt down to thank the decree, and Eunuch Li put the imperial decree in her hand and said meaningfully: “There is no king in the world, and there is no king and ministers on the coast of the land. Everyone in the heaven is the emperor’s subjects, and who does the emperor care about? , whose blessing is it, Master Jiang, don’t be confused.”
Jiang Lan bowed his head and agreed, and suddenly realized, no wonder he had to let Eunuch Li come to pass the decree, and by the way, he could also “remind himself”. Sima Jin really has good intentions, does this mean that he is willing to do it?
The reason why she was given such an official position is to reuse her, give her the opportunity to participate in the government, and follow Xia Henqiu’s side, even if she doesn’t work hard, she can get his light. When the case is finally closed, she will have a decent achievement. It is convenient for her to be promoted to an official position in the future; on the other hand, she has a grudge against Sima Lian, so naturally she will not let water in this matter, and she can also take the opportunity to get revenge, and at the same time, she is also involved in the Yan Zhan incident. Here, the emperor agreed to her request, but did not give her the decision-making power. The power was in the hands of Xia Henqiu, and Xia Henqiu and Yan Zhan were at odds. Even if Yan Zhan’s incident ended unexpectedly, it had nothing to do with the emperor. Naturally, there is another reason not to be forgotten, because Xia Henqiu is a famous doctor, and he can also take care of her body by the way.
Jiang Lan thought about it for a while before he understood Sima Jin’s intention. I have to say that this person is better than Sima Lian in terms of brains and methods.
