Chapter 150 The Meaning of Two, Three, and Four in Xiao Yichen's Letter
"Miss?" Qiuhua rubbed his dizzy head, and then his complexion changed drastically, "The maidservant and Qiushuang accompanied the lady, not long after they came out from the empress's place, suddenly a pain in the back of the neck, black eyes, nothing happened understood."
She looked left and right, saw the desolate forest, and gasped, "Where is this? Miss and Qiushuang? Why are servants here?"
Lu Xinyan said: "Qiuhua, what is the Empress looking for from Fourth Aunt?"
Qiuhua said: "The servant girl is not very clear. It seems that the empress took a fancy to the hairpin on the young lady's head and asked the young lady if she could borrow it. She asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make one for Princess Changping! If there is anything else, the servant will not know."
When the queen was talking to Gong Jin, Qiuhua and Qiushuang were waiting outside, and they could only vaguely hear this, but based on the time they waited, Qiuhua thought that was probably all.
Lu Xinyan said: "Qiuhua, Sigu and Qiushuang are gone now. I suspect it has something to do with the empress, but this matter should not alarm anyone. Are you going to find Sigu with us, or go back to rest first?"
Qiuhua took a deep breath again, and then immediately replied: "My maidservant and Miss Zhuzhu are together to find Miss and Qiushuang!"
One more person gives more strength, although Qiuhua is as powerless as Lu Xinyan, but at this time Lu Xinyan can't think so much anymore.
The four people were separated by about seven or eight meters, searched carefully, and shouted every ten breaths to ensure that everyone was safe and sound.
The farther you walked into the forest, there was the faint sound of a wild beast. Lu Xinyan was worried that if she encountered a wild beast that was chased by Emperor Longde and others, she would hurt people if she ran into a wild beast, so she called the three of them together. Yes, but at a slower pace.
Seeing that the sun was approaching mid-air, the deep roar of the beast became clearer and clearer as it went deeper into the forest, but until now, there was still no clue, and Lu Xinyan became more and more anxious.
Fourth aunt, fourth aunt, Li Yu is coming back soon, you must persevere, but don't let anything happen at this time!She said silently in her heart.
"Miss! I smell blood!" Qingtong said suddenly, because of her martial arts practice, her nose is more sensitive than ordinary people.
When she said this, Bai Zhi stood still and sniffed it carefully, "Miss, I smelled it too."
The two pointed their fingers in the same direction at the same time, Lu Xinyan's heart tightened, "Quick! Go and have a look!"
Several people ran in the direction of the bloody smell, and at the entrance of a cave, they saw a slender figure of snow-blue color.
What color clothes did Fourth Aunt wear in the morning?In Lu Xinyan's panic, her mind went blank, and she couldn't remember for a while.
With his back to Lu Xinyan and the others, the snow-blue figure suddenly raised his right hand, revealing a gleaming dagger.
"Si Gu, be careful!" Lu Xinyan screamed subconsciously.
Gong Jin can't have a dagger!That person must not be Gong Jin!
At the same time she shouted, Qingtong jumped behind the man and kicked towards the snow-blue man.
"Ouch!" The man was caught off guard, exhaled in pain, and then cursed: "Which blind person dares to kick me? Are you impatient?"
The voice was very familiar. When she turned around and her angry face was exposed in front of everyone, Lu Xin was stunned, it was Wu Wan.
In front of Wu Wan, Gong Jin, who was wearing a lilac-colored dress, was lying on the ground. His clothes were messy, his body was covered in mud, and his face was covered in blood. It was obvious that he fell from a high place. soil.
Lu Xinyan's heart froze, and she almost fell down. Qiuhua covered her mouth with tears in her eyes, looked at Gong Jin on the ground, and shouted, "Miss?"
Seeing that it was Lu Xinyan, Wu Wan glanced at her bitterly, and raised her chin, "Since you are here, Gong Jin will be handed over to you, I have to leave beforehand."
"Want to leave after hurting someone? It's not that easy!" Lu Xinyan's sharp eyes swept across Wu Wan, "Qingtong, grab her! Bai Zhi, quickly take a look for Fourth Aunt!"
Without waiting for her order, Bai Zhi has already stepped forward to check Gong Jin's situation carefully.
Wu Wan screamed, "Lu Xinyan, how dare you! If I lose a single hair, I will definitely tell my father to copy your whole family in Ankangbo Mansion!"
Lu Xinyan said coldly: "Princess Changping, I advise you to be sensible and shut up obediently! There is no one around here, and no one knows that we have been here. If I kill you and bury you right now, who can do anything to me?" ?”
Wu Wan's face turned pale, and she stared at Lu Xinyan, but she didn't dare to make another sound, and let Qingtong clasp her hands behind her back, thinking in her heart, Lu Xinyan, when I leave here, I will settle this sum with you again. account!
After a quick check, Bai Zhi said: "Miss, the fourth girl is not in danger for the time being! I guess she may have fallen from somewhere, and her face was scratched by a sharp stone on the ground. As for whether there is any injury on her body, she needs to go back for further inspection !"
Wu Wan shouted: "The matter of Gong Jin has nothing to do with Bengong, I just happened to pass by here! Since the person is not dead, let me go quickly!"
"Whether it has anything to do with you or not, what you say doesn't matter!" Lu Xinyan said: "Qingtong, I tapped her acupuncture points and let her stay here. After I go back, I will talk about Sigu's injury!"
"Hey! Lu Xinyan! This matter really has nothing to do with me!" Wu Wan shouted.
"It's okay? Then what were you doing with the dagger just now?" Lu Xinyan pointed to the ground, the dagger that Wu Wan dropped when Qingtong kicked Wu Wan away.
"I... I passed by here, and I smelled the smell of blood and felt scared, so I took out a dagger to defend myself?" Wu Wan rolled her eyes.
"Princess Changping, the most dignified Tianwu, why are you wandering alone in this uninhabited forest?" Lu Xinyan sarcastically said, "Treasure hunting? Or lovers?"
The sarcastic tone made Wu Wan even angrier, "I am a dignified Princess of Tianwu Changping, do I need to explain to you?"
"You don't need to explain, then I have no choice but to believe that you wanted to kill Fourth Aunt, but I happened to find out and stop it!" Lu Xinyan said coldly: "At that time, if anything happens to Fourth Aunt, I will ask you to pay in blood!"
"Lu Xinyan! How dare you! You..." Wu Wan wanted to say something later, but she couldn't say anything, because Qingtong had already touched her acupuncture points at this moment, making her unable to move or speak.
Lu Xinyan snorted coldly, "Baizhi, sprinkle some medicine around here to prevent wild animals from running in!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Lu Xinyan turned to Wu Wan again, her eyes were fiercer than ever before, "Princess Changping, you'd better pray that Sigu is okay, otherwise I will make you a delicious feast for the beasts in the forest!"
Wu Wan couldn't say anything, so she could only stare at her fiercely.
"Qingtong Baizhi Qiuhua, let's go."
"Miss Zhuzhu, and Qiushuang..." Qiuhua hesitated to speak.
"I'm sorry Qiuhua, I have to make sure that my fourth aunt is safe before I come to Qiushuang." Lu Xinyan didn't want to give up anyone, but at the critical moment, when she had to make a choice, she could only choose Gong Jin as the top.
"It's the slave who made things difficult for you." Qiuhua lowered her head, she is a slave, and the life of a slave is a low life, "Let's go, Miss Zhuzhu, so as not to delay the injury of the lady."
Lu Xinyan took a deep look at her, "Qiuhua, I promise you, I will definitely find Qiushuang. If something happens to her, no matter who hurt her, I will avenge her!"
"Thank you Miss Zhuzhu!" Qiuhua's lips trembled. As a servant, this sentence is enough.
A few people avoided others, and without telling Feng Shi, they quietly went back to the small courtyard.
Qingtong called hot water, Lu Xinyan took off Gong Jin's clothes, picked up a towel, and wiped it carefully for her.
Gong Jin had numerous scars on his body, obviously scratched by sharp stones and branches on the ground when he rolled down from a certain height.
When wiping gently, Gong Jin cried out several times in a coma because of the pain.
Lu Xinyan's eyes were sore when she heard it.
Bai Zhi checked Gong Jin's limbs to see if there were any fractures, and said: "Miss, you don't have to worry, these injuries look numerous and scary, they are not serious, just rest for a few days and you will be fine."
Only then did Lu Xinyan calm down.
After the physical examination, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, there is no fracture, just a small scratch."
Lu Xinyan couldn't relax, she looked at Gong Jin's head, that was the scariest place.
In case of hitting the brain, or poking eyes, ears...
She shook her head, forcing herself not to think about it, but her hand holding the towel was trembling.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi took the towel from Lu Xinyan's hand, "Miss, let me come."
She is a doctor. When she was a child studying medicine, she saw all kinds of strange patients.
Lu Xinyan didn't insist, she was worried that she couldn't control the strength, which would hurt Gong Jin instead.
There were not only bloodstains and blood clots on Gongjin's surface, but also a lot of sludge. Bai Zhi had to wash three basins of water to wash Gongjin's surface.
After washing and revealing her true face, Lu Xinyan and the others took a deep breath.
Gong Jin had small abrasions on his forehead, chin, nose, and left face, and some small injuries around his eyes, but the eyes seemed to be fine.
What made them all gasp was a finger-long scar on Gong Jin's right face, which stretched from the cheekbone to the corner of the mouth. It was so deep that even the flesh turned out. Leaves an unsightly scar.
"Miss!" Qiuhua was the first to bear it no longer, and wept bitterly, covering his lips.
"Don't cry!" Lu Xinyan bit her lip and growled in a low voice: "Do you want to quarrel with grandma?"
Although she couldn't hide it, she could hide it for a while, at least she couldn't let Feng know about it when her mind was agitated!
Also, who hurt Gong Jin, the queen or Wu Wan, and why?She needs to find out first!
Qiuhua shut her mouth tightly, keeping the sobbing sound in her throat.
"Qiuhua, you stay here. If grandma comes, you can say that my fourth aunt and I went out for a walk. You can't let her in anyway, you know?" Bring Qiushuang back! Before I come back, absolutely no one can enter this room, can you do it?"
Qiuhua nodded with tears in her eyes, "I will definitely do it!"
After they applied the medicine for Gong Jin, they left Qiu Hua behind and quietly left.
In the cave, Wu Wan, who couldn't move, was angry and frightened. The roar of the beast was so close that the hairs all over her body stood on end in fright.
When Lu Xinyan came, Wu Wan almost burst into tears of gratitude.
Qingtong unlocked Wu Wan's dumb acupoint, allowing her to speak freely, but her figure was still unable to move, making Wu Wan want to stare at Lu Xinyan but dared not.
Lu Xinyan said lightly: "Princess Changping, something happened to my fourth aunt."
Wu Wan cut her throat, "What happened to her has nothing to do with this palace, it's not that this palace caused her!"
"Who did that?"
Wu Wan rolled her eyes, "How could I know?"
"You don't know, then I can only take it as your fault." Lu Xinyan said coldly: "Just now I said, if something happens to Fourth Aunt, I want you to pay with blood!"
Seeing Qingtong approaching her with squinted eyes, Wu Wan anxiously said: "Lu Xinyan, you have to be reasonable! When I came here, Gong Jin was already lying there!"
"Sorry, I didn't see it! I only saw you taking Si Gu's life with a dagger!" Lu Xinyan sneered.
Wu Wan argued, "Take Gong Jin's life? What are you kidding? I have never had any enmity with her. What good will it do me to take her life?"
Lu Xinyan said: "I have to ask you, princess. You have always had prejudice against me. You tried to harm me many times in the palace before, but every time you harmed me, you were grounded instead. You will definitely resent me even more in your heart! But you are so helpless." I don't mind, so I vent this resentment on Si Gu!"
"I hate you, I hate you so much that I want to kill you right away! But the imperial grandmother is on good terms with Mrs. Gong, and Gong Jin is the only daughter of Mrs. Gong. If something happens to her and the imperial grandmother finds out, she will not take it lightly." Rao Bengong! Last time, no matter how I targeted you in the palace, did I ever calculate half of the old lady Gong and Gong Jin?"
Lu Xinyan was taken aback, thinking about what Wu Wan said, it was true!Every time Wu Wan harmed her, her attack was a killer move, but she never counted on Feng Shi and Gong Jin, "People's hearts are unpredictable. If you didn't last time, it doesn't mean you haven't this time! Or you want to use Fourth Aunt to lure I came out to hurt me!"
Wu Wan said: "Then I have no reason to hurt Gong Jin! If I want to use her to lure you out, let someone catch her directly, take something from her and give it to you, and threaten to let you come here alone, otherwise I killed Gong Jin and forced you to come alone! The person I hate is you, not Gong Jin. As long as you come, I can deal with you unscrupulously. Why come here in person? Do so many things out?"
Lu Xinyan was silent.
I saw Wu Wan pointing at Gong Jin with a dagger earlier, and it happened that Gong Jin was injured again. In addition, she had a very bad impression of Wu Wan, so she directly linked this matter with Wu Wan and lost her due judgment. As soon as she said it, Lu Xinyan settled down and thought about it carefully, and found that there were indeed many doubts in the middle.
And the most important point, as Wu Wan said, she has no enmity with Gong Jin, no conflict of interest, no reason to deal with Gong Jin...
Wait, conflict of interest?
In Lu Xinyan's mind, there were sparks of lightning, a mystery that had not been solved before, and at this moment, there was a clear answer.
She looked at Wu Wan sharply, "Excuse me, Princess Changping, why did you appear near here?"
Wu Wan's eyes flashed, "I have already said that I passed by here unintentionally."
"Unintentionally? Alone?" Lu Xinyan slightly raised her eyebrows, expressing her disbelief.
Wu Wan rolled her eyes, "What's so strange about being alone? I was confined in the palace for two months and was watched by people every day. It's a rare opportunity to be free. I deliberately got rid of the people around me and ran out by myself. ?"
"I believe you came out secretly, but you didn't intend to pass by here, I don't believe it!" Lu Xinyan said slowly: "You know what will happen here, so you came here on purpose?"
Wu Wan's complexion changed, and she tried her best to maintain her composure, "I don't know what you are talking about?"
"Really?" Lu Xinyan smiled slowly, laughing until Wu Wan's scalp went numb, "Did the empress tell you something?"
Wu Wan's breathing became rapid at that moment, she tried desperately to hide her gaffe, but Lu Xinyan's question was too sudden and direct, to the point, she was not mentally prepared at all.
Lu Xinyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Looks like I guessed right." She told Qingtong, "Qingtong, let her go."
"Miss!" Just let Wu Wan go so easily?Qingtong was a little bit unwilling.
"Go to Qiushuang first!" Lu Xinyan said.
In Wu Wan's eyes, a viciousness flashed across.
Lu Xinyan glanced at Wu Wan, and warned with a smile that was not a smile: "I believe that with the princess's intelligence, what happened here will not be told outside? After all, it is useless to say it. There is no evidence. Who can believe that I have threatened you?" You? Of course, what is more important is why this incident happened, how it happened, when it was spread, and who it affects, I believe the princess understands the importance of it better than me."
Wu Wan bit her lip and said nothing, Qing Tong reluctantly opened her acupuncture points.
After Wu Wan left, Lu Xinyan and the others searched for more than half an hour near the place where Gong Jin's accident occurred, and finally found Qiu Shuang who was also unconscious at dusk.
Except for being in a coma for too long in the cold wind, and my body was a little stiff from the cold, everything else was fine.
Gong Jinqiuhua Qiushuang and the others are all fine, which is finally a blessing among misfortunes.
-
Feng Shi woke up from sleep, looked at the window edge dyed silver red by the sunset, and raised her voice, "Red Scarf!" After shouting, she felt her throat was dry.
Gong Yu 22 wanted to enter the Second Prince's Mansion. Although she was only a noble concubine, she was entering the royal family after all, so she had to prepare well for the things that should be prepared.
Originally, Mrs. Yun did the work, but Mrs. Yun was pregnant, so Mrs. Feng asked Nanny Sun and Hongxiao to assist Mrs. Yun. This time when she came to Yunxiao Villa, she brought a red scarf and fragrant beads.
"Old lady, are you awake?" Hongjin walked in from the outside with a gust of cold wind.
Feng Shi couldn't help shivering, and his heart became even more stuffy.
The red scarf hurriedly put on several clothes for her, "Madam, my servant will pour you a glass of water."
"Has Jin'er come back?" Feng asked, tightening her clothes.
"My servant didn't see the fourth girl, but she saw sister Qiuhua next to the fourth girl. She said that the fourth girl was dragged to play by Miss Zhuzhu." The red scarf came over with hot tea, "Old lady, it's a bit hot, be careful drink."
Feng Shi took the teacup and held it in both hands, her palms gradually warmed up. She lowered her head and took a sip. After her throat was moistened, she looked at the sky outside the window. At this time, the setting sun was sinking again, "It's already this hour, Go and see, are the two of you back?"
"Yes, old madam." The red scarf said, "I will serve you first."
Feng said: "No need, go and see if Jin'er and Zhuzhu are back, let Xiangzhu come."
"Yes, old lady."
After Xiangzhu waited for Feng Shi to dress up, the red scarf came back, "Old Madam, Sister Qiuhua said that Fourth Miss and Miss Zhuzhu haven't come back yet."
Feng frowned, "At this time, it's time to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Both of you are not ignorant people, why haven't you come back yet?"
The flustered feeling in her heart for some reason made her even more irritated at this time, Feng stood up, "I'll go out and have a look."
Qiuhua was anxiously walking back and forth in front of Lu Xinyan's room. Gong Jin hadn't woken up in the room. According to Bai Zhi's instructions before leaving, she would touch Gong Jin's forehead every two quarters of an hour and give him some water.
Everything was fine at first, but half an hour ago, Gong Jin's whole body began to feel hot. Qiu Hua applied a cold towel and applied it again and again, but the temperature did not continue.
Qiuhua didn't know what to do, and Lu Xinyan and the others didn't come back for a long time, and they didn't know if there was any accident, but the Feng family sent someone to ask where Lu Xinyan and Gong Jin were going. She coped with it with a smile on her face, but she didn't know how long she could support it.
"Qiuhua, why are you walking around here alone? What happened?" Seeing Qiuhua like this, Feng's doubts and anxiety deepened.
Qiuhua froze all over, she really didn't want to come out!She hurried forward to salute, "Old madam, it's a bit cold outside, and this servant is walking around to warm himself up."
This sounded right, but Feng felt that something was wrong, "I took two people with me when I went out this time, why did Jin'er only bring Qiushuang and leave you alone?"
After Feng asked, he realized something was wrong.
In the past, wherever Gong Jin went, she always brought Qiuhua with her, but this time she left Qiuhua behind for no reason and left with Qiushuang, obviously something happened!
"Old madam, young lady's thoughts, servant girl..." Qiuhua was about to explain, but Feng suddenly raised her voice, "Qiuhua, tell me, what happened?"
Qiuhua was startled, stunned for a few moments, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, nothing happened, really nothing happened!"
The more he denies it, the more suspicious he is. Qiuhua's pretending to be innocent can fool the young Hongjin, but not the sophisticated Fengshi.
Feng stopped talking and walked directly to Lu Xinyan's room. Qiuhua quickly rushed to the door and blocked it with her arms. She couldn't find a reason in her desperation, "Madam! You...you can't go in!"
"Bold!" Feng said coldly, "Red scarf, Xiangzhu, pull her away!"
Hongjin Xiangzhu didn't know what was going on, passively obeyed Feng Shi's order, stepped forward and said "sister Qiuhua, I'm sorry", then grabbed Qiuhua by one arm and pulled her away.
Qiuhua grabbed the door frame with one hand, and while struggling to the death, he said in a crying voice: "Old lady, Miss Zhuzhu told me this, please don't embarrass your servant!"
Zhuzhu confessed?Something must have happened!Feng's figure swayed a few times, covered his pounding heart, approached the door, and pushed it open with his hand.
"grandmother!"
Feng's hand on the door stopped, she turned around in surprise, and saw Lu Xinyan coming with a smile, her steps were hurried but not chaotic, her hair was disheveled, her breathing was short, but her expression was extremely firm.
For some reason, seeing Lu Xinyan like this, Feng's heart calmed down a bit, "Zhuzhu, you're back? Where's Jin'er?"
She looked at Qiushuang who seemed to be asleep while being supported by Qingtong, and her heart hung up again, "What's wrong with Qiushuang? Why didn't you see Jin'er?"
"Grandmother." Lu Xinyan held Feng's hand that was about to push the door, and looked into the depths of her eyes, "Grandmother, do you believe in Zhuzhu?"
Feng's heart beat faster, "Of course grandma believes in you, but..."
Lu Xinyan interrupted her, "Grandmother, if you believe me, go to pay your respects to the Queen Mother now, and don't ask anything? I will tell you the truth later."
Feng opened her mouth, but finally did as Lu Xinyan wished, and didn't ask any more questions, "Red Scarf, Xiangzhu, help me to the Queen Mother."
After the three of them left, Qiuhua finally couldn't help crying, "Miss Zhuzhu, miss...Miss is so hot all over..."
"Baizhi, go in and have a look!"
The temperature is low in winter, and the chance of wound infection is much smaller, but it is not completely absent. In this age without antibiotics, the mortality rate caused by infection is extremely high!
Bai Zhi felt Gong Jin's pulse, prescribed a secondary medicine for Qiu Hua to decoct the medicine, and gave Gong Jin an injection, and Gong Jin's fever gradually subsided.
Later, after drinking half a bowl of medicine, I was sweating, and my body was no longer hot at all.
Only then did Lu Xinyan feel relieved.
In the middle of the night, Gong Jin woke up suddenly, and the painful sound woke up Lu Xinyan who was dozing beside the bed. She said in surprise, "Fourth Aunt? You're awake? Qingtong, quickly bring the porridge!"
Qiushuang was cold and fell asleep. Lu Xinyan asked Qiuhua to take care of her, and let Bai Zhi, who was not in good health, rest, while she and Qingtong took care of Gong Jin.
The porridge has been kept warm with hot water, preparing for Gong Jin to have something to fill his stomach immediately after waking up.
"Zhuzhu? Why are you here?" Gong Jin just said a few words, and suddenly felt pain all over his body, especially the right side of his cheek, "What's wrong with me?"
As she spoke, she involuntarily stretched out her hand to touch her painful right cheek, and Lu Xinyan quickly pressed her hand, "Si Gu, you suffered a small injury on your face, Bai Zhi helped you with the medicine, it will take two days to recover , can't touch it now."
Gong Jin believed in Lu Xinyan's words, she rolled her eyes to look left and right, and asked again: "This doesn't seem to be my room, where is Qiuhua Qiushuang, why don't you see them?"
Lu Xinyan didn't answer her directly, but asked instead: "Si Gu, don't you remember what happened earlier?"
"What happened before?" Gong Jin frowned and thought for a while, even if she frowned slightly, the wound on her face was pulled, causing her to gasp in pain, "I remember that after I left the empress with Qiushuang Qiuhua, I planned to come back to accompany my mother, It wasn't far...and I don't remember anything."
She couldn't help frowning again, "Zhuzhu, what happened?"
Lu Xinyan said: "Si Gu, Qingtong Baizhi and I found you falling from a hillside in the back mountain, and your whole body was injured."
"Houshan hillside? Why did I go there?" Gong Jin was very surprised.
Lu Xinyan didn't answer her words, but her face suddenly turned serious, "Fourth Aunt, I ask you a question, you must answer me truthfully."
Gong Jin became nervous, "Tell me, I will answer you truthfully."
Lu Xinyan asked: "Are you going to insist on walking with Li Yu no matter what happens?"
Gong Jin's face turned pale, "Is Li Yu seriously injured? Or disabled? As long as he is still alive, I..."
"No!" Lu Xinyan shook her head, "He was not injured! On the contrary, the fourth aunt's injury is related to Li Yu!"
Gong Jin was even more surprised, "It has something to do with Li Yu? What do you mean by Zhuzhu?"
"Fourth aunt, besides the eldest prince, there are three princes in the court who have the chance to be crown princes, the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince. The second prince's faction is headed by Empress Ge Taishi, who is respected by all officials, and the third prince's faction is dominated by Concubine Xiao Gui." The Duke's Mansion is headed by thousands of troops, and the four princes are a faction, headed by concubine Sun Shu Kong Shangshu, loved by all the people. The Duke's Mansion has not made many achievements since Duke Zhen was seriously ill and was bedridden. It has almost disappeared for three years, so among the three factions, the third prince's faction is the weakest.
But this trip to the southwest, Xiao Shizi made extraordinary achievements, his prestige in the army soared, and the status of the third prince also rose with the tide.If the status of the third prince rises, it means that the status of the second prince and the fourth prince will decline. These two factions will definitely find a way to suppress the growth of the third prince.The best way, one is to find fault with the military, and the other is to win over some people in the military.The crisis in the southwest has just been resolved, and the emperor's heart is full of joy. No one will make mistakes at this time and provoke the emperor's suspicion, so the best way is to win over. "
She glanced at Gong Jin, "The Li family is the same as the Xiao family. They have also joined the army for generations and have produced generals from generation to generation. Previously, everyone disliked Li Yu, the only successor of the Li family, and the prestige of the Li family in the army has gradually weakened. Now the battle in the Southwest, Li Yu made the first contribution. The Li family's prestige in the army is the most powerful faction besides the Duke of Zhenguo. If I were from the second or third prince's faction, I would definitely choose to win over the Li family at this time, and the best The best way is to marry. On the surface, the Guangping Hou Mansion is classified as the second prince's faction, but the matter of Aunt Feng is well known in the city, and the friendship between the Guangping Marquis Mansion and the Wuyang Marquis Mansion is only left to the grandmother and Mrs. Cai. The two have known each other for many years, so if the second prince wants to marry the Li family, you will definitely not be the best candidate."
Gong Jin's expression gradually became dignified, and after a long silence, he asked, "Who could that be?"
"The third princess Changping and Princess Wu Wan!" Lu Xinyan said, "It is not ruled out that Grand Master Ge's eldest granddaughter, Mrs. Ge's eldest daughter, will be 14-year-old Ge Zitong! However, comparing the two, I think the possibility of the third princess It is more sexual, because after Li Yushang becomes the princess and becomes a consort, he cannot participate in politics, which is most beneficial to the second prince's faction. It can use the Li family's prestige in the army to win over the army without worrying about the Li family's rebellion. As for the fourth prince's faction, the most It is possible that Kong Yuxi is Kong Yuxi, Grand Master Kong’s granddaughter, Kong Er Miss.”
The Kong family also has a young lady born from a concubine.
In the letter sent by Xiao Yichen earlier, there were two, three, four and three words. Lu Xinyan thought about it for a few days, but she didn't understand it. Until the afternoon on the mountain, Wu Wan asked in turn, what benefit did she get from hurting Gong Jin? Suddenly understood.
The two, three, and four in Xiao Yichen's letter not only represent the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, but also the second Miss Kong, the third princess, and the fourth aunt.
The queen sent someone to take Gong Jin away in an attempt to cause Gong Jin's accidental disfigurement and even death.
If Gong Jin dies, Li Yu naturally doesn't have to marry her. If Gong Jin is just disfigured, let alone whether Gong Jin is willing to marry or not, the Li family will definitely not let Li Yu marry a disfigured and shameless woman to come back and marry her. Be the housewife!
As long as Li Yu cannot marry Gong Jin, then Wu Wan's chances of getting married will be greatly increased!
And Wu Wan probably understood what the queen was thinking, so she stayed by the queen's side for the past two days and didn't go anywhere. Save Gong Jin, because Wu Wan has a heart for Xiao Yichen and is absolutely unwilling to marry Li Yu!As long as Gong Jin is alive, when Li Yu comes forward to propose marriage, Emperor Longde will have a great chance to agree because of his outstanding achievements. In this way, the Queen's thoughts can be cut off.
"Didn't Princess Changping like Shizi Xiao?" This was a well-known fact.
Lu Xinyan said: "The empress will not allow her to marry. In case the second prince and the third prince compete for the throne in the future, Princess Changping will be caught in the middle, in a dilemma. Whether it is public or private, the empress's choice for a horse must be A family that can help the Second Prince."
Gong Jin remained silent, obviously agreed with Lu Xinyan's words, and also understood the reason why she appeared behind the mountain for no reason and was injured.
Lu Xinyan continued: "Fourth Aunt, Li Yu announced in public at Lanying Villa that he wanted to marry you. This has already been known throughout the city. Although everyone may not take it seriously, but with the change of Li Yu's identity after he has made great achievements, those who are interested will be cautious." Treat this matter! Fourth Aunt, if you insist on going on with Li Yu, you must be mentally prepared to face the countless dangers that will follow. Li Yu's meritorious service is not only the beginning of your happiness, but also the beginning of your danger .”
Gong Jin said firmly: "I am willing! Zhuzhu, I am willing! No matter what, I still say that, as long as he does not let me down, I will not let him down!"
Lu Xinyan let out a breath and said with a smile: "No matter what you decide, Si Gu, I will support you! I have some people in my hands. Now that the Hou Mansion is buying people, I will send them in to protect Si Gu's safety." Not just you, but grandma's family.
Since Jiang's death in Guangping Hou Mansion, Aunt Feng's affair was exposed, and a group of people were cleared away.
Before Mrs. Yun came, Gong Jin was temporarily in charge of Zhongfei. Because of Li Yu's joining the army and the fact that he was just a trustee, he wanted to wait for Mrs. Yun's arrival to decide on the buyer's return. Later, when Mrs. Yun came, she gave birth In the countryside, I am used to doing things by myself, and so are the people in the palace, so no one has ever entered the mansion. When Lu Xinyan went there a few days ago, she saw that few people mentioned it to Feng Shi, and Feng Shi had asked Grandma Sun to go. It's done, just take this opportunity to send people in.
"Thank you, Zhuzhu." Gong Jin said gratefully.
"Fourth aunt, I haven't told my grandmother about your injury. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it, but I can't hide it. I will explain it to her in person tomorrow morning, but I won't tell my grandmother the real reason." Lu Xinyan looked Looking at Gong Jin, Gong Jin said: "I understand. I went for a walk in the back mountain out of curiosity, but I accidentally fell down the mountain and got injured. It will be fine in a few days."
After eating the porridge and talking about this conversation, Gong Jin was exhausted, Lu Xinyan said: "Fourth Aunt, you should have a good rest first, and recharge your spirits as soon as possible."
Gong Jin nodded, "You also go to rest earlier."
She is sleeping in Lu Xinyan's room now, so Lu Xinyan got up and went to Gong Jin's room to rest.
Qingtong accompanied her to leave, half way, Qingtong couldn't help asking: "Miss, Bai Zhi said that the injuries on the fourth girl's face will leave ugly scars even if they heal, and it is difficult to recover, why didn't you tell her? How about lying to her for a few days?"
Lu Xinyan said: "The scar is only temporary, no matter what, I will find a way to heal the wound on her face, and let her happily marry Li Yu!"
The next morning, before going to greet the Queen Mother, Lu Xinyan went to see Feng Shi first.
Yesterday Lu Xinyan asked Feng Shi not to ask, but to wait, Feng Shi didn't ask, but she didn't ask, and she was even more worried, she didn't sleep well all night, and her days were like years, and her complexion was much worse this morning.
Lu Xinyan pretended not to know, and told Feng Shi the lie she made up with Gong Jin. Even so, Feng Shi's face turned pale with fright, "Jin'er, is Jin'er okay now? I...I want to see her!"
"Grandmother, Fourth Aunt woke up in the middle of the night last night, ate porridge and continued to sleep. I went to see it when I came, and she slept soundly." Lu Xinyan stopped Feng Shi, "Fourth Aunt suffered some minor injuries and needs to rest. Let her rest first, and I will accompany you to see her when I come back from the Queen Mother."
Her expression is very normal, it is really the eyes of the sky after everything has passed.
Feng's worried heart suddenly settled down a lot, "Okay, grandma listens to you, first go to the Queen Mother to pay her respects."
Lu Xinyan easily changed the subject, "Grandma, how about I dress you up today?"
Feng said with a smile: "Grandmother would naturally wish for you to be able to make up with your skillful hands."
The two talked and laughed while combing their hair and makeup, having a good time.
When it was almost finished, the red scarf stumbled in from the door, "Old... old madam, Miss Zhuzhu, it's not good, your majesty... something happened to your majesty!"
Something happened to the emperor?
The smiles on Lu Xinyan and Feng's faces disappeared, "What happened?"
(End of this chapter)
"Miss?" Qiuhua rubbed his dizzy head, and then his complexion changed drastically, "The maidservant and Qiushuang accompanied the lady, not long after they came out from the empress's place, suddenly a pain in the back of the neck, black eyes, nothing happened understood."
She looked left and right, saw the desolate forest, and gasped, "Where is this? Miss and Qiushuang? Why are servants here?"
Lu Xinyan said: "Qiuhua, what is the Empress looking for from Fourth Aunt?"
Qiuhua said: "The servant girl is not very clear. It seems that the empress took a fancy to the hairpin on the young lady's head and asked the young lady if she could borrow it. She asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make one for Princess Changping! If there is anything else, the servant will not know."
When the queen was talking to Gong Jin, Qiuhua and Qiushuang were waiting outside, and they could only vaguely hear this, but based on the time they waited, Qiuhua thought that was probably all.
Lu Xinyan said: "Qiuhua, Sigu and Qiushuang are gone now. I suspect it has something to do with the empress, but this matter should not alarm anyone. Are you going to find Sigu with us, or go back to rest first?"
Qiuhua took a deep breath again, and then immediately replied: "My maidservant and Miss Zhuzhu are together to find Miss and Qiushuang!"
One more person gives more strength, although Qiuhua is as powerless as Lu Xinyan, but at this time Lu Xinyan can't think so much anymore.
The four people were separated by about seven or eight meters, searched carefully, and shouted every ten breaths to ensure that everyone was safe and sound.
The farther you walked into the forest, there was the faint sound of a wild beast. Lu Xinyan was worried that if she encountered a wild beast that was chased by Emperor Longde and others, she would hurt people if she ran into a wild beast, so she called the three of them together. Yes, but at a slower pace.
Seeing that the sun was approaching mid-air, the deep roar of the beast became clearer and clearer as it went deeper into the forest, but until now, there was still no clue, and Lu Xinyan became more and more anxious.
Fourth aunt, fourth aunt, Li Yu is coming back soon, you must persevere, but don't let anything happen at this time!She said silently in her heart.
"Miss! I smell blood!" Qingtong said suddenly, because of her martial arts practice, her nose is more sensitive than ordinary people.
When she said this, Bai Zhi stood still and sniffed it carefully, "Miss, I smelled it too."
The two pointed their fingers in the same direction at the same time, Lu Xinyan's heart tightened, "Quick! Go and have a look!"
Several people ran in the direction of the bloody smell, and at the entrance of a cave, they saw a slender figure of snow-blue color.
What color clothes did Fourth Aunt wear in the morning?In Lu Xinyan's panic, her mind went blank, and she couldn't remember for a while.
With his back to Lu Xinyan and the others, the snow-blue figure suddenly raised his right hand, revealing a gleaming dagger.
"Si Gu, be careful!" Lu Xinyan screamed subconsciously.
Gong Jin can't have a dagger!That person must not be Gong Jin!
At the same time she shouted, Qingtong jumped behind the man and kicked towards the snow-blue man.
"Ouch!" The man was caught off guard, exhaled in pain, and then cursed: "Which blind person dares to kick me? Are you impatient?"
The voice was very familiar. When she turned around and her angry face was exposed in front of everyone, Lu Xin was stunned, it was Wu Wan.
In front of Wu Wan, Gong Jin, who was wearing a lilac-colored dress, was lying on the ground. His clothes were messy, his body was covered in mud, and his face was covered in blood. It was obvious that he fell from a high place. soil.
Lu Xinyan's heart froze, and she almost fell down. Qiuhua covered her mouth with tears in her eyes, looked at Gong Jin on the ground, and shouted, "Miss?"
Seeing that it was Lu Xinyan, Wu Wan glanced at her bitterly, and raised her chin, "Since you are here, Gong Jin will be handed over to you, I have to leave beforehand."
"Want to leave after hurting someone? It's not that easy!" Lu Xinyan's sharp eyes swept across Wu Wan, "Qingtong, grab her! Bai Zhi, quickly take a look for Fourth Aunt!"
Without waiting for her order, Bai Zhi has already stepped forward to check Gong Jin's situation carefully.
Wu Wan screamed, "Lu Xinyan, how dare you! If I lose a single hair, I will definitely tell my father to copy your whole family in Ankangbo Mansion!"
Lu Xinyan said coldly: "Princess Changping, I advise you to be sensible and shut up obediently! There is no one around here, and no one knows that we have been here. If I kill you and bury you right now, who can do anything to me?" ?”
Wu Wan's face turned pale, and she stared at Lu Xinyan, but she didn't dare to make another sound, and let Qingtong clasp her hands behind her back, thinking in her heart, Lu Xinyan, when I leave here, I will settle this sum with you again. account!
After a quick check, Bai Zhi said: "Miss, the fourth girl is not in danger for the time being! I guess she may have fallen from somewhere, and her face was scratched by a sharp stone on the ground. As for whether there is any injury on her body, she needs to go back for further inspection !"
Wu Wan shouted: "The matter of Gong Jin has nothing to do with Bengong, I just happened to pass by here! Since the person is not dead, let me go quickly!"
"Whether it has anything to do with you or not, what you say doesn't matter!" Lu Xinyan said: "Qingtong, I tapped her acupuncture points and let her stay here. After I go back, I will talk about Sigu's injury!"
"Hey! Lu Xinyan! This matter really has nothing to do with me!" Wu Wan shouted.
"It's okay? Then what were you doing with the dagger just now?" Lu Xinyan pointed to the ground, the dagger that Wu Wan dropped when Qingtong kicked Wu Wan away.
"I... I passed by here, and I smelled the smell of blood and felt scared, so I took out a dagger to defend myself?" Wu Wan rolled her eyes.
"Princess Changping, the most dignified Tianwu, why are you wandering alone in this uninhabited forest?" Lu Xinyan sarcastically said, "Treasure hunting? Or lovers?"
The sarcastic tone made Wu Wan even angrier, "I am a dignified Princess of Tianwu Changping, do I need to explain to you?"
"You don't need to explain, then I have no choice but to believe that you wanted to kill Fourth Aunt, but I happened to find out and stop it!" Lu Xinyan said coldly: "At that time, if anything happens to Fourth Aunt, I will ask you to pay in blood!"
"Lu Xinyan! How dare you! You..." Wu Wan wanted to say something later, but she couldn't say anything, because Qingtong had already touched her acupuncture points at this moment, making her unable to move or speak.
Lu Xinyan snorted coldly, "Baizhi, sprinkle some medicine around here to prevent wild animals from running in!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Lu Xinyan turned to Wu Wan again, her eyes were fiercer than ever before, "Princess Changping, you'd better pray that Sigu is okay, otherwise I will make you a delicious feast for the beasts in the forest!"
Wu Wan couldn't say anything, so she could only stare at her fiercely.
"Qingtong Baizhi Qiuhua, let's go."
"Miss Zhuzhu, and Qiushuang..." Qiuhua hesitated to speak.
"I'm sorry Qiuhua, I have to make sure that my fourth aunt is safe before I come to Qiushuang." Lu Xinyan didn't want to give up anyone, but at the critical moment, when she had to make a choice, she could only choose Gong Jin as the top.
"It's the slave who made things difficult for you." Qiuhua lowered her head, she is a slave, and the life of a slave is a low life, "Let's go, Miss Zhuzhu, so as not to delay the injury of the lady."
Lu Xinyan took a deep look at her, "Qiuhua, I promise you, I will definitely find Qiushuang. If something happens to her, no matter who hurt her, I will avenge her!"
"Thank you Miss Zhuzhu!" Qiuhua's lips trembled. As a servant, this sentence is enough.
A few people avoided others, and without telling Feng Shi, they quietly went back to the small courtyard.
Qingtong called hot water, Lu Xinyan took off Gong Jin's clothes, picked up a towel, and wiped it carefully for her.
Gong Jin had numerous scars on his body, obviously scratched by sharp stones and branches on the ground when he rolled down from a certain height.
When wiping gently, Gong Jin cried out several times in a coma because of the pain.
Lu Xinyan's eyes were sore when she heard it.
Bai Zhi checked Gong Jin's limbs to see if there were any fractures, and said: "Miss, you don't have to worry, these injuries look numerous and scary, they are not serious, just rest for a few days and you will be fine."
Only then did Lu Xinyan calm down.
After the physical examination, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, there is no fracture, just a small scratch."
Lu Xinyan couldn't relax, she looked at Gong Jin's head, that was the scariest place.
In case of hitting the brain, or poking eyes, ears...
She shook her head, forcing herself not to think about it, but her hand holding the towel was trembling.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi took the towel from Lu Xinyan's hand, "Miss, let me come."
She is a doctor. When she was a child studying medicine, she saw all kinds of strange patients.
Lu Xinyan didn't insist, she was worried that she couldn't control the strength, which would hurt Gong Jin instead.
There were not only bloodstains and blood clots on Gongjin's surface, but also a lot of sludge. Bai Zhi had to wash three basins of water to wash Gongjin's surface.
After washing and revealing her true face, Lu Xinyan and the others took a deep breath.
Gong Jin had small abrasions on his forehead, chin, nose, and left face, and some small injuries around his eyes, but the eyes seemed to be fine.
What made them all gasp was a finger-long scar on Gong Jin's right face, which stretched from the cheekbone to the corner of the mouth. It was so deep that even the flesh turned out. Leaves an unsightly scar.
"Miss!" Qiuhua was the first to bear it no longer, and wept bitterly, covering his lips.
"Don't cry!" Lu Xinyan bit her lip and growled in a low voice: "Do you want to quarrel with grandma?"
Although she couldn't hide it, she could hide it for a while, at least she couldn't let Feng know about it when her mind was agitated!
Also, who hurt Gong Jin, the queen or Wu Wan, and why?She needs to find out first!
Qiuhua shut her mouth tightly, keeping the sobbing sound in her throat.
"Qiuhua, you stay here. If grandma comes, you can say that my fourth aunt and I went out for a walk. You can't let her in anyway, you know?" Bring Qiushuang back! Before I come back, absolutely no one can enter this room, can you do it?"
Qiuhua nodded with tears in her eyes, "I will definitely do it!"
After they applied the medicine for Gong Jin, they left Qiu Hua behind and quietly left.
In the cave, Wu Wan, who couldn't move, was angry and frightened. The roar of the beast was so close that the hairs all over her body stood on end in fright.
When Lu Xinyan came, Wu Wan almost burst into tears of gratitude.
Qingtong unlocked Wu Wan's dumb acupoint, allowing her to speak freely, but her figure was still unable to move, making Wu Wan want to stare at Lu Xinyan but dared not.
Lu Xinyan said lightly: "Princess Changping, something happened to my fourth aunt."
Wu Wan cut her throat, "What happened to her has nothing to do with this palace, it's not that this palace caused her!"
"Who did that?"
Wu Wan rolled her eyes, "How could I know?"
"You don't know, then I can only take it as your fault." Lu Xinyan said coldly: "Just now I said, if something happens to Fourth Aunt, I want you to pay with blood!"
Seeing Qingtong approaching her with squinted eyes, Wu Wan anxiously said: "Lu Xinyan, you have to be reasonable! When I came here, Gong Jin was already lying there!"
"Sorry, I didn't see it! I only saw you taking Si Gu's life with a dagger!" Lu Xinyan sneered.
Wu Wan argued, "Take Gong Jin's life? What are you kidding? I have never had any enmity with her. What good will it do me to take her life?"
Lu Xinyan said: "I have to ask you, princess. You have always had prejudice against me. You tried to harm me many times in the palace before, but every time you harmed me, you were grounded instead. You will definitely resent me even more in your heart! But you are so helpless." I don't mind, so I vent this resentment on Si Gu!"
"I hate you, I hate you so much that I want to kill you right away! But the imperial grandmother is on good terms with Mrs. Gong, and Gong Jin is the only daughter of Mrs. Gong. If something happens to her and the imperial grandmother finds out, she will not take it lightly." Rao Bengong! Last time, no matter how I targeted you in the palace, did I ever calculate half of the old lady Gong and Gong Jin?"
Lu Xinyan was taken aback, thinking about what Wu Wan said, it was true!Every time Wu Wan harmed her, her attack was a killer move, but she never counted on Feng Shi and Gong Jin, "People's hearts are unpredictable. If you didn't last time, it doesn't mean you haven't this time! Or you want to use Fourth Aunt to lure I came out to hurt me!"
Wu Wan said: "Then I have no reason to hurt Gong Jin! If I want to use her to lure you out, let someone catch her directly, take something from her and give it to you, and threaten to let you come here alone, otherwise I killed Gong Jin and forced you to come alone! The person I hate is you, not Gong Jin. As long as you come, I can deal with you unscrupulously. Why come here in person? Do so many things out?"
Lu Xinyan was silent.
I saw Wu Wan pointing at Gong Jin with a dagger earlier, and it happened that Gong Jin was injured again. In addition, she had a very bad impression of Wu Wan, so she directly linked this matter with Wu Wan and lost her due judgment. As soon as she said it, Lu Xinyan settled down and thought about it carefully, and found that there were indeed many doubts in the middle.
And the most important point, as Wu Wan said, she has no enmity with Gong Jin, no conflict of interest, no reason to deal with Gong Jin...
Wait, conflict of interest?
In Lu Xinyan's mind, there were sparks of lightning, a mystery that had not been solved before, and at this moment, there was a clear answer.
She looked at Wu Wan sharply, "Excuse me, Princess Changping, why did you appear near here?"
Wu Wan's eyes flashed, "I have already said that I passed by here unintentionally."
"Unintentionally? Alone?" Lu Xinyan slightly raised her eyebrows, expressing her disbelief.
Wu Wan rolled her eyes, "What's so strange about being alone? I was confined in the palace for two months and was watched by people every day. It's a rare opportunity to be free. I deliberately got rid of the people around me and ran out by myself. ?"
"I believe you came out secretly, but you didn't intend to pass by here, I don't believe it!" Lu Xinyan said slowly: "You know what will happen here, so you came here on purpose?"
Wu Wan's complexion changed, and she tried her best to maintain her composure, "I don't know what you are talking about?"
"Really?" Lu Xinyan smiled slowly, laughing until Wu Wan's scalp went numb, "Did the empress tell you something?"
Wu Wan's breathing became rapid at that moment, she tried desperately to hide her gaffe, but Lu Xinyan's question was too sudden and direct, to the point, she was not mentally prepared at all.
Lu Xinyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Looks like I guessed right." She told Qingtong, "Qingtong, let her go."
"Miss!" Just let Wu Wan go so easily?Qingtong was a little bit unwilling.
"Go to Qiushuang first!" Lu Xinyan said.
In Wu Wan's eyes, a viciousness flashed across.
Lu Xinyan glanced at Wu Wan, and warned with a smile that was not a smile: "I believe that with the princess's intelligence, what happened here will not be told outside? After all, it is useless to say it. There is no evidence. Who can believe that I have threatened you?" You? Of course, what is more important is why this incident happened, how it happened, when it was spread, and who it affects, I believe the princess understands the importance of it better than me."
Wu Wan bit her lip and said nothing, Qing Tong reluctantly opened her acupuncture points.
After Wu Wan left, Lu Xinyan and the others searched for more than half an hour near the place where Gong Jin's accident occurred, and finally found Qiu Shuang who was also unconscious at dusk.
Except for being in a coma for too long in the cold wind, and my body was a little stiff from the cold, everything else was fine.
Gong Jinqiuhua Qiushuang and the others are all fine, which is finally a blessing among misfortunes.
-
Feng Shi woke up from sleep, looked at the window edge dyed silver red by the sunset, and raised her voice, "Red Scarf!" After shouting, she felt her throat was dry.
Gong Yu 22 wanted to enter the Second Prince's Mansion. Although she was only a noble concubine, she was entering the royal family after all, so she had to prepare well for the things that should be prepared.
Originally, Mrs. Yun did the work, but Mrs. Yun was pregnant, so Mrs. Feng asked Nanny Sun and Hongxiao to assist Mrs. Yun. This time when she came to Yunxiao Villa, she brought a red scarf and fragrant beads.
"Old lady, are you awake?" Hongjin walked in from the outside with a gust of cold wind.
Feng Shi couldn't help shivering, and his heart became even more stuffy.
The red scarf hurriedly put on several clothes for her, "Madam, my servant will pour you a glass of water."
"Has Jin'er come back?" Feng asked, tightening her clothes.
"My servant didn't see the fourth girl, but she saw sister Qiuhua next to the fourth girl. She said that the fourth girl was dragged to play by Miss Zhuzhu." The red scarf came over with hot tea, "Old lady, it's a bit hot, be careful drink."
Feng Shi took the teacup and held it in both hands, her palms gradually warmed up. She lowered her head and took a sip. After her throat was moistened, she looked at the sky outside the window. At this time, the setting sun was sinking again, "It's already this hour, Go and see, are the two of you back?"
"Yes, old madam." The red scarf said, "I will serve you first."
Feng said: "No need, go and see if Jin'er and Zhuzhu are back, let Xiangzhu come."
"Yes, old lady."
After Xiangzhu waited for Feng Shi to dress up, the red scarf came back, "Old Madam, Sister Qiuhua said that Fourth Miss and Miss Zhuzhu haven't come back yet."
Feng frowned, "At this time, it's time to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Both of you are not ignorant people, why haven't you come back yet?"
The flustered feeling in her heart for some reason made her even more irritated at this time, Feng stood up, "I'll go out and have a look."
Qiuhua was anxiously walking back and forth in front of Lu Xinyan's room. Gong Jin hadn't woken up in the room. According to Bai Zhi's instructions before leaving, she would touch Gong Jin's forehead every two quarters of an hour and give him some water.
Everything was fine at first, but half an hour ago, Gong Jin's whole body began to feel hot. Qiu Hua applied a cold towel and applied it again and again, but the temperature did not continue.
Qiuhua didn't know what to do, and Lu Xinyan and the others didn't come back for a long time, and they didn't know if there was any accident, but the Feng family sent someone to ask where Lu Xinyan and Gong Jin were going. She coped with it with a smile on her face, but she didn't know how long she could support it.
"Qiuhua, why are you walking around here alone? What happened?" Seeing Qiuhua like this, Feng's doubts and anxiety deepened.
Qiuhua froze all over, she really didn't want to come out!She hurried forward to salute, "Old madam, it's a bit cold outside, and this servant is walking around to warm himself up."
This sounded right, but Feng felt that something was wrong, "I took two people with me when I went out this time, why did Jin'er only bring Qiushuang and leave you alone?"
After Feng asked, he realized something was wrong.
In the past, wherever Gong Jin went, she always brought Qiuhua with her, but this time she left Qiuhua behind for no reason and left with Qiushuang, obviously something happened!
"Old madam, young lady's thoughts, servant girl..." Qiuhua was about to explain, but Feng suddenly raised her voice, "Qiuhua, tell me, what happened?"
Qiuhua was startled, stunned for a few moments, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, nothing happened, really nothing happened!"
The more he denies it, the more suspicious he is. Qiuhua's pretending to be innocent can fool the young Hongjin, but not the sophisticated Fengshi.
Feng stopped talking and walked directly to Lu Xinyan's room. Qiuhua quickly rushed to the door and blocked it with her arms. She couldn't find a reason in her desperation, "Madam! You...you can't go in!"
"Bold!" Feng said coldly, "Red scarf, Xiangzhu, pull her away!"
Hongjin Xiangzhu didn't know what was going on, passively obeyed Feng Shi's order, stepped forward and said "sister Qiuhua, I'm sorry", then grabbed Qiuhua by one arm and pulled her away.
Qiuhua grabbed the door frame with one hand, and while struggling to the death, he said in a crying voice: "Old lady, Miss Zhuzhu told me this, please don't embarrass your servant!"
Zhuzhu confessed?Something must have happened!Feng's figure swayed a few times, covered his pounding heart, approached the door, and pushed it open with his hand.
"grandmother!"
Feng's hand on the door stopped, she turned around in surprise, and saw Lu Xinyan coming with a smile, her steps were hurried but not chaotic, her hair was disheveled, her breathing was short, but her expression was extremely firm.
For some reason, seeing Lu Xinyan like this, Feng's heart calmed down a bit, "Zhuzhu, you're back? Where's Jin'er?"
She looked at Qiushuang who seemed to be asleep while being supported by Qingtong, and her heart hung up again, "What's wrong with Qiushuang? Why didn't you see Jin'er?"
"Grandmother." Lu Xinyan held Feng's hand that was about to push the door, and looked into the depths of her eyes, "Grandmother, do you believe in Zhuzhu?"
Feng's heart beat faster, "Of course grandma believes in you, but..."
Lu Xinyan interrupted her, "Grandmother, if you believe me, go to pay your respects to the Queen Mother now, and don't ask anything? I will tell you the truth later."
Feng opened her mouth, but finally did as Lu Xinyan wished, and didn't ask any more questions, "Red Scarf, Xiangzhu, help me to the Queen Mother."
After the three of them left, Qiuhua finally couldn't help crying, "Miss Zhuzhu, miss...Miss is so hot all over..."
"Baizhi, go in and have a look!"
The temperature is low in winter, and the chance of wound infection is much smaller, but it is not completely absent. In this age without antibiotics, the mortality rate caused by infection is extremely high!
Bai Zhi felt Gong Jin's pulse, prescribed a secondary medicine for Qiu Hua to decoct the medicine, and gave Gong Jin an injection, and Gong Jin's fever gradually subsided.
Later, after drinking half a bowl of medicine, I was sweating, and my body was no longer hot at all.
Only then did Lu Xinyan feel relieved.
In the middle of the night, Gong Jin woke up suddenly, and the painful sound woke up Lu Xinyan who was dozing beside the bed. She said in surprise, "Fourth Aunt? You're awake? Qingtong, quickly bring the porridge!"
Qiushuang was cold and fell asleep. Lu Xinyan asked Qiuhua to take care of her, and let Bai Zhi, who was not in good health, rest, while she and Qingtong took care of Gong Jin.
The porridge has been kept warm with hot water, preparing for Gong Jin to have something to fill his stomach immediately after waking up.
"Zhuzhu? Why are you here?" Gong Jin just said a few words, and suddenly felt pain all over his body, especially the right side of his cheek, "What's wrong with me?"
As she spoke, she involuntarily stretched out her hand to touch her painful right cheek, and Lu Xinyan quickly pressed her hand, "Si Gu, you suffered a small injury on your face, Bai Zhi helped you with the medicine, it will take two days to recover , can't touch it now."
Gong Jin believed in Lu Xinyan's words, she rolled her eyes to look left and right, and asked again: "This doesn't seem to be my room, where is Qiuhua Qiushuang, why don't you see them?"
Lu Xinyan didn't answer her directly, but asked instead: "Si Gu, don't you remember what happened earlier?"
"What happened before?" Gong Jin frowned and thought for a while, even if she frowned slightly, the wound on her face was pulled, causing her to gasp in pain, "I remember that after I left the empress with Qiushuang Qiuhua, I planned to come back to accompany my mother, It wasn't far...and I don't remember anything."
She couldn't help frowning again, "Zhuzhu, what happened?"
Lu Xinyan said: "Si Gu, Qingtong Baizhi and I found you falling from a hillside in the back mountain, and your whole body was injured."
"Houshan hillside? Why did I go there?" Gong Jin was very surprised.
Lu Xinyan didn't answer her words, but her face suddenly turned serious, "Fourth Aunt, I ask you a question, you must answer me truthfully."
Gong Jin became nervous, "Tell me, I will answer you truthfully."
Lu Xinyan asked: "Are you going to insist on walking with Li Yu no matter what happens?"
Gong Jin's face turned pale, "Is Li Yu seriously injured? Or disabled? As long as he is still alive, I..."
"No!" Lu Xinyan shook her head, "He was not injured! On the contrary, the fourth aunt's injury is related to Li Yu!"
Gong Jin was even more surprised, "It has something to do with Li Yu? What do you mean by Zhuzhu?"
"Fourth aunt, besides the eldest prince, there are three princes in the court who have the chance to be crown princes, the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince. The second prince's faction is headed by Empress Ge Taishi, who is respected by all officials, and the third prince's faction is dominated by Concubine Xiao Gui." The Duke's Mansion is headed by thousands of troops, and the four princes are a faction, headed by concubine Sun Shu Kong Shangshu, loved by all the people. The Duke's Mansion has not made many achievements since Duke Zhen was seriously ill and was bedridden. It has almost disappeared for three years, so among the three factions, the third prince's faction is the weakest.
But this trip to the southwest, Xiao Shizi made extraordinary achievements, his prestige in the army soared, and the status of the third prince also rose with the tide.If the status of the third prince rises, it means that the status of the second prince and the fourth prince will decline. These two factions will definitely find a way to suppress the growth of the third prince.The best way, one is to find fault with the military, and the other is to win over some people in the military.The crisis in the southwest has just been resolved, and the emperor's heart is full of joy. No one will make mistakes at this time and provoke the emperor's suspicion, so the best way is to win over. "
She glanced at Gong Jin, "The Li family is the same as the Xiao family. They have also joined the army for generations and have produced generals from generation to generation. Previously, everyone disliked Li Yu, the only successor of the Li family, and the prestige of the Li family in the army has gradually weakened. Now the battle in the Southwest, Li Yu made the first contribution. The Li family's prestige in the army is the most powerful faction besides the Duke of Zhenguo. If I were from the second or third prince's faction, I would definitely choose to win over the Li family at this time, and the best The best way is to marry. On the surface, the Guangping Hou Mansion is classified as the second prince's faction, but the matter of Aunt Feng is well known in the city, and the friendship between the Guangping Marquis Mansion and the Wuyang Marquis Mansion is only left to the grandmother and Mrs. Cai. The two have known each other for many years, so if the second prince wants to marry the Li family, you will definitely not be the best candidate."
Gong Jin's expression gradually became dignified, and after a long silence, he asked, "Who could that be?"
"The third princess Changping and Princess Wu Wan!" Lu Xinyan said, "It is not ruled out that Grand Master Ge's eldest granddaughter, Mrs. Ge's eldest daughter, will be 14-year-old Ge Zitong! However, comparing the two, I think the possibility of the third princess It is more sexual, because after Li Yushang becomes the princess and becomes a consort, he cannot participate in politics, which is most beneficial to the second prince's faction. It can use the Li family's prestige in the army to win over the army without worrying about the Li family's rebellion. As for the fourth prince's faction, the most It is possible that Kong Yuxi is Kong Yuxi, Grand Master Kong’s granddaughter, Kong Er Miss.”
The Kong family also has a young lady born from a concubine.
In the letter sent by Xiao Yichen earlier, there were two, three, four and three words. Lu Xinyan thought about it for a few days, but she didn't understand it. Until the afternoon on the mountain, Wu Wan asked in turn, what benefit did she get from hurting Gong Jin? Suddenly understood.
The two, three, and four in Xiao Yichen's letter not only represent the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, but also the second Miss Kong, the third princess, and the fourth aunt.
The queen sent someone to take Gong Jin away in an attempt to cause Gong Jin's accidental disfigurement and even death.
If Gong Jin dies, Li Yu naturally doesn't have to marry her. If Gong Jin is just disfigured, let alone whether Gong Jin is willing to marry or not, the Li family will definitely not let Li Yu marry a disfigured and shameless woman to come back and marry her. Be the housewife!
As long as Li Yu cannot marry Gong Jin, then Wu Wan's chances of getting married will be greatly increased!
And Wu Wan probably understood what the queen was thinking, so she stayed by the queen's side for the past two days and didn't go anywhere. Save Gong Jin, because Wu Wan has a heart for Xiao Yichen and is absolutely unwilling to marry Li Yu!As long as Gong Jin is alive, when Li Yu comes forward to propose marriage, Emperor Longde will have a great chance to agree because of his outstanding achievements. In this way, the Queen's thoughts can be cut off.
"Didn't Princess Changping like Shizi Xiao?" This was a well-known fact.
Lu Xinyan said: "The empress will not allow her to marry. In case the second prince and the third prince compete for the throne in the future, Princess Changping will be caught in the middle, in a dilemma. Whether it is public or private, the empress's choice for a horse must be A family that can help the Second Prince."
Gong Jin remained silent, obviously agreed with Lu Xinyan's words, and also understood the reason why she appeared behind the mountain for no reason and was injured.
Lu Xinyan continued: "Fourth Aunt, Li Yu announced in public at Lanying Villa that he wanted to marry you. This has already been known throughout the city. Although everyone may not take it seriously, but with the change of Li Yu's identity after he has made great achievements, those who are interested will be cautious." Treat this matter! Fourth Aunt, if you insist on going on with Li Yu, you must be mentally prepared to face the countless dangers that will follow. Li Yu's meritorious service is not only the beginning of your happiness, but also the beginning of your danger .”
Gong Jin said firmly: "I am willing! Zhuzhu, I am willing! No matter what, I still say that, as long as he does not let me down, I will not let him down!"
Lu Xinyan let out a breath and said with a smile: "No matter what you decide, Si Gu, I will support you! I have some people in my hands. Now that the Hou Mansion is buying people, I will send them in to protect Si Gu's safety." Not just you, but grandma's family.
Since Jiang's death in Guangping Hou Mansion, Aunt Feng's affair was exposed, and a group of people were cleared away.
Before Mrs. Yun came, Gong Jin was temporarily in charge of Zhongfei. Because of Li Yu's joining the army and the fact that he was just a trustee, he wanted to wait for Mrs. Yun's arrival to decide on the buyer's return. Later, when Mrs. Yun came, she gave birth In the countryside, I am used to doing things by myself, and so are the people in the palace, so no one has ever entered the mansion. When Lu Xinyan went there a few days ago, she saw that few people mentioned it to Feng Shi, and Feng Shi had asked Grandma Sun to go. It's done, just take this opportunity to send people in.
"Thank you, Zhuzhu." Gong Jin said gratefully.
"Fourth aunt, I haven't told my grandmother about your injury. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it, but I can't hide it. I will explain it to her in person tomorrow morning, but I won't tell my grandmother the real reason." Lu Xinyan looked Looking at Gong Jin, Gong Jin said: "I understand. I went for a walk in the back mountain out of curiosity, but I accidentally fell down the mountain and got injured. It will be fine in a few days."
After eating the porridge and talking about this conversation, Gong Jin was exhausted, Lu Xinyan said: "Fourth Aunt, you should have a good rest first, and recharge your spirits as soon as possible."
Gong Jin nodded, "You also go to rest earlier."
She is sleeping in Lu Xinyan's room now, so Lu Xinyan got up and went to Gong Jin's room to rest.
Qingtong accompanied her to leave, half way, Qingtong couldn't help asking: "Miss, Bai Zhi said that the injuries on the fourth girl's face will leave ugly scars even if they heal, and it is difficult to recover, why didn't you tell her? How about lying to her for a few days?"
Lu Xinyan said: "The scar is only temporary, no matter what, I will find a way to heal the wound on her face, and let her happily marry Li Yu!"
The next morning, before going to greet the Queen Mother, Lu Xinyan went to see Feng Shi first.
Yesterday Lu Xinyan asked Feng Shi not to ask, but to wait, Feng Shi didn't ask, but she didn't ask, and she was even more worried, she didn't sleep well all night, and her days were like years, and her complexion was much worse this morning.
Lu Xinyan pretended not to know, and told Feng Shi the lie she made up with Gong Jin. Even so, Feng Shi's face turned pale with fright, "Jin'er, is Jin'er okay now? I...I want to see her!"
"Grandmother, Fourth Aunt woke up in the middle of the night last night, ate porridge and continued to sleep. I went to see it when I came, and she slept soundly." Lu Xinyan stopped Feng Shi, "Fourth Aunt suffered some minor injuries and needs to rest. Let her rest first, and I will accompany you to see her when I come back from the Queen Mother."
Her expression is very normal, it is really the eyes of the sky after everything has passed.
Feng's worried heart suddenly settled down a lot, "Okay, grandma listens to you, first go to the Queen Mother to pay her respects."
Lu Xinyan easily changed the subject, "Grandma, how about I dress you up today?"
Feng said with a smile: "Grandmother would naturally wish for you to be able to make up with your skillful hands."
The two talked and laughed while combing their hair and makeup, having a good time.
When it was almost finished, the red scarf stumbled in from the door, "Old... old madam, Miss Zhuzhu, it's not good, your majesty... something happened to your majesty!"
Something happened to the emperor?
The smiles on Lu Xinyan and Feng's faces disappeared, "What happened?"
