Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 56 Killing You Is Just Raising Your Hand
Under the verandah, several women hurriedly dragged the orchids on the ground to the side room.

Yu Mo's face was pale, and it was only when he saw Jiang Jinyan that he came back to his senses.

"Miss……"

Jiang Jinyan glanced at the blood on the ground and frowned, "What's going on?"

If Yu Mo could force an innocent maid to death, she would never believe it.

"This Lan Xiang is the maid in charge of the box cage. A few days ago, I followed her into the inner room to count her clothes. Who knew that she searched her residence and found 100 taels of silver!"

The monthly salary of a third-class maid is only 100 taels, so how could she have a savings of [-] taels.

Yu Mo continued: "After I asked her a few words, she trembled all over and couldn't speak. I said I would let the young lady deal with it, and she just... she hit her head on the pillar..."

"Go and invite a doctor first. If a person dies, wouldn't there be no evidence for death?"

Yu Mo bowed his head and said: "I was negligent." He said and hurried out of the yard.

Xueyan looked at the blood on the ground, curled her lips, and said bitterly: "If you are not guilty, why did you bump into the pillar, and do you still want to give the young lady a bad name for killing the servant?!"

Jiang Jinyan was also curious, could it be that Lan Xiang had some reason to be held by someone?

According to Yu Mo, Lan Xiang probably stole the hairpin, and the one who threatened her was probably Wang from Yicui Pavilion.

It's true that Mrs. Wang hasn't stayed in the Jing'an Hou's mansion for nothing all these years. How many people can she command in this mansion?

My own yard is not like an iron bucket, and I have to be more careful in everything in the future. Wang Shi and Jiang Jinqian, neither of them is someone who is not a man who will be punished.

The doctor is also a person with good eyesight. Seeing that she is a maid who is not valued, after seeing Lan Xiang's injury, he can heal up after a simple bandage and take care of it.

After Jiang Jinyan sent someone Haosheng to send the doctor away, he asked Yumo to bring the awakened Lanxiang to the flower hall.

Lan Xiang's delicate face was now pale, and the gauze on her head reflected blood, making her complexion even worse.

She knelt down tremblingly, and glanced up at the young lady who was sitting above her in a brocade dress of white magnolia rain silk with ancient patterns.

It is said that the eldest lady treats people gently, but she knows that is when the eldest lady treats her own people. Now that she has been caught out for doing such a thing, she may have no way out.

I have been doing Wang's eyeliner for so long, and Wang has already grasped her. She is a thorn in Wang's side if she doesn't die.

But, in Yicui Pavilion, what about his younger sister, Ruxiang?
Thinking of what the Wang family had sent someone to pass on, she felt a little desperate, and her eyes were filled with ashes.

"Is it Lan Xiang? What kind of benefits did she promise you from the Wang family? I am very curious that it is worth fighting with your life."

Lan Xiang bit her lip and bowed her head in silence, thinking that her younger sister Ru Xiang came to see her with a box of dragon beard candy yesterday, her unopened face was full of innocence and joy.

Maybe if she dies, Wang will let Yun Xiang go, right?

Lan Xiang looked at the red sandalwood wood carving fish table closest to her.

Jiang Jinyan saw something strange in her eyes, followed her gaze to the corner of the table, and she hurriedly said, "Yu Mo, hold her down! Don't let her seek death!"

Yu Mo quickly walked up to her and held her in place.

If she is allowed to seek death again at this time, then most of the day's effort will be in vain.

At this time, Mother Xu quickly stepped into the flower hall, and whispered in Jiang Jinyan's ear: "Lan Xiang has a younger sister who works in Yicui Pavilion."

This threatening tactic of threatening people's pain is really her Wang's usual style, Jiang Jinyan's mouth curled up, wanting to ruin my reputation?I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you.

She got up and walked in front of Lan Xiang, pulled her chin forcefully, and said coldly: "Do you think Mrs. Wang can let your sister go if you die? From the moment you became a pawn, the lives of both of you are at stake." It’s no longer in your hands, you can die now, it’s just a first step.”

After she finished speaking, she said to Yu Mo: "Take her down, find two women to watch over her, don't let her seek death."

Out of the flower hall, Xueyan said unexpectedly: "Miss, even if she only stole something, it would be enough to beat her up and sell it, and she also helped Mrs. Wang harm you, so let her go like this?"

Jiang Jinyan smiled and said, "Sometimes, it's easier to die than to live."

Xue Yan pursed her mouth, the young lady must have softened her heart.

Back in the inner room, Jiang Jinyan found out the gold-plated emerald and silver hairpin. Speaking of which, it was Jiang Jinqian who gave it to him in order to inquire about the news.

"Go and invite Steward Jiang to me."

In the backyard of the Yu Family Medical Center, Yu Qingxian staggered and sat on the ground, staring at the livid but imposing man in front of him, who turned and left.

How can there be such a person? !
He thought of Xu Junyan's sullen face threatening him just now, and he shivered straight away. This is not someone he can afford!
Mrs. Jiang came to the medical clinic from home to get the money for buying rice noodles, but Yu Qingqian was not in the medical clinic ahead, and as soon as she walked to the backyard, she saw Yu Qingxian lying on the ground with a pale face.

"Ouch! What's the matter?"

Jiang exclaimed and helped Yu Qingxian up, "What's the matter? Have you seen a ghost for most of the day?"

Yu Qingxian came back to his senses and pushed her away.

Mrs. Jiang is the daughter of a butcher in the west of the city. She looks only Zhouzheng. Except for a few small money from her mother's family, how can she be worthy of herself? Just a concubine is enough...

In a flash, he thought of the man's cold eyes again, shivered, and shook off the thought in his mind.

"Grandfather is not dead yet, where did the ghost come from?!"

Jiang was also worried about Qingxian, snorted, "If you are not dead, take out the money for buying rice, noodles, oil and salt."

There was a twinkle in Yu Qingxian's eyes, and he shook his hand, "We'll talk about it when my luck gets better."

Jiang spat at him, "Let your sister bring the money quickly, otherwise I won't guarantee that there will be food for this family!"

Yu Qingxian became angry from embarrassment, threw up his sleeves and wanted to leave, "It's so fucking bad luck!"

As soon as he arrived at the door, Jiang Wei stopped him with a cold face.

"What kind of bad luck did you have today?!" As he spoke, he reached out to push Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei gave way slightly, turned around and held him back, "Don't talk nonsense, come with me."

Just as he was about to shout, Jiang Weiliang flashed a dagger in his sleeve, "Killing you is just a matter of raising your hand."

Yu Qingxian glanced at the frosty look on his face, and swallowed his curse words.

What kind of luck is going on today!

He suddenly thought of the man in the moon-white brocade robe, those murderous eyes seemed to be still in front of him.

How can there be such a person?The last time I saw him, I was just a playboy from a rich family, but this time, I have seen the tricks of that person!
He swallowed his saliva, finally raised his weak legs, and followed the man who was threatening him with a short sword at the moment.

He always felt that it was better to hold his own neck with a sword than to be looked at by that man.

Coming out of the teahouse, Yu Qingxian was stunned for a long while, then looked at a gilt-dotted emerald-silver hairpin in his hand.

I was probably caught in the backyard strife of the rich and powerful family, thinking of the cold sentence of the slim woman behind the screen, and the letter, I had no choice.

He thought of the man's threat in an instant, so he didn't dare to have other thoughts, so he quickly shook his head and walked away quickly.

In the study of the palace, Wang Zhao frowned and sat on the mahogany chair. Wang Qingduan, who was standing in front of him, asked tentatively, "Father, the sage wants to demote Xu Junyan to Jiangnan for inspection. What does this mean?"

Wang Zhao thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Now there are some things about the Holy Majesty that I can't see clearly. I thought that the Holy Majesty wanted to rely on Xu Junyan to clean up the eyeliner around him, and followed the four major military camps in Luoyang City. I didn't expect this time. Demoted Xu Junyan to Jiangnan."

Wang Qingduan asked: "Didn't Lu Shixun read his book to abuse his power? Maybe the Holy One also thinks that he is arrogant and reckless because of his favor. Didn't you send Meng Tian to Jiangnan? If you think Xu Junyan is not pleasing to your eyes, ask Isn’t it a chance to kill him?”

Wang Zhao glanced at Wang Qingduan, with a worried expression on his face, he said: "You have been in the officialdom for so long, your brain is not as good as the women in the back house!"

He stopped looking at his son standing in front of him, and looked down at the secret report from Jiangnan on the table.

Wang Qingduan was scolded and bowed his head in silence. He was never expected to be an official, so he stood up to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. How could he not know it? It was not because of his surname Wang.

"Father, the son has retired."

Wang Zhao glanced at him, "Don't get too close to Pingbei Palace in the future."

Wang Qingduan raised his head abruptly, "Father, are you spying on me?"

Wang Zhao didn't raise his head, "You and Prince Pingbei swaggered across the market to Shixianglou, everyone can see it."

Wang Qingduan blushed, "Father, Prince Pingbei's son is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so why not associate with him?"

Seeing that he was not enlightened, Wang Zhao sighed, raised his head and said, "These princes are too powerful, and they won't last long. Our Wang family must be careful."

Wang Qingduan didn't quite understand, but he still bowed his hands and bowed in response, "Where is the Minister of War?"

Putting down the reply letter in his hand, Wang Zhao rolled the letter into a ball, stuffed it into the bamboo sticks on the legs of the pigeons waiting outside the window, and then let the pigeons fly.

Then he turned around and said: "It's a pity that your third uncle's eldest daughter is indeed a pity. Originally, she could be the queen's life, but our royal family is bound to win the position of Minister of War. You will go to Cui for your third uncle these few days If you can take advantage of this marriage and make friends with Qinghe Cui's family, it will kill two birds with one stone."

Wang Qingduan nodded and stepped back.

Wang Zhao looked at his son-in-law who had retired, and sighed. Now he only hopes to have another son while he is still young.

The eldest daughter has become the queen mother, but after all, she is no stranger to the Wang family. The second daughter has become the princess of Pingnan, and now she is far away in Jizhou, and the only son is still not enlightened.
Emperor Yongning was dressed in a sapphire blue lilac cocoon silk robe and a gold-plated jade crown. He walked slowly into the Suzaku camp with a few hidden guards dressed as entourages.

When Xu Junyan came out of the martial arts arena, he saw Emperor Yongning's footsteps pause, and he recovered his expression in an instant.

Just as he was about to salute, Emperor Yongning waved his hands and said in a low voice: "Jun Yan, you don't need to be too polite, Zhen... I am in a humble service, and I don't need to perform the courtesy of a monarch and minister, I just came to see you off as an old friend."

Standing far away, Xu Ming felt dizzy when he saw his master's move to salute, and the man's noble appearance and a few skilled attendants by his side.

Could this be Emperor Yongning?

Emperor Yongning walked towards the martial arts arena with a smile, "I've always heard that the Suzaku Camp is the most important of the four camps in Luoyang, so I'll take a look today."

Xu Junyan chuckled and followed.

Several hidden guards kept a distance of ten steps, their eyes full of vigilance.

Thinking of his master's order, Xu Ming hurried out of the Zhuque camp to stabilize the situation in the Xuanwu camp before going to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Xu Ming! Are you going to Jiangnan?"

Xu Ming turned sideways, and only then saw Xia He outside the camp.

She was wearing a sapphire-blue calamus pattern gown, and she looked petite. She was holding her red-brown Dawan horse and staring at herself angrily.

Xu Ming rubbed his forehead, this time he went to Jiangnan, no matter what he said, he couldn't take Xia He with him!

"The master said, you can't go!"

Xia He curled her lips in displeasure, "I knew they were right, you really are going to Jiangnan."

Xu Ming cursed secretly why he was trapped by her again.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xia He raised his head and said loudly, "Are you assured that I will stay in Luoyang alone?"
