Chapter 258 The Result of the Jianglin Private Soldier Case
Ahhhhh!
How could she forget about this! ?
Lu Xinyan wanted to cry, but she shrank her head like a quail, not daring to look at the source of the cold current beside her.

Xiao Yichen went crazy with anger!
His daughter-in-law actually wants to find him two concubines, give birth to a child and make his wife equal! ?

Or keep it from him, and make a private agreement with his aunt early in the morning!
His teeth are grinding loudly, Lu Xinyan, you wait for me, if you go back today and don't revive your husband, I will take your surname!
"Jian Jia, bring over the portraits of those ladies."

Woohoo, Lu Xinyan wants to cry so much, what should I do?
Jian Jia looked at Lu Xinyan who was about to cry, and couldn't bear it, but it was Lu Xinyan who mentioned it herself, and the imperial concubine didn't mean to torment the couple.

"Yes, imperial concubine, princess, please wait a moment."

Lu Xinyan turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yichen quietly, and was instantly frozen into ice slag by the other party's gaze.

Woohoo, what should I do?If she dared to take those portraits, she would be dead!

Jian Jia held the portrait and came to Lu Xinyan. Lu Xinyan really wanted to pretend that she didn't exist, or that she could use a magic spell to make herself invisible and escape this catastrophe!

Seeing that she didn't reach out her hand, Xiao Qing was a little displeased and said, "Zhuzhu, what do you mean?"

At the beginning, she proposed it herself!Now, who is showing this reluctant look?
"Aunt...Auntie," Lu Xinyan's tongue was tied, "Bi... After all, this matter is related to... Husband, nephew and daughter-in-law dare not choose without authorization, why don't you let husband have a look... see how it goes? As long as husband agrees, niece and daughter-in-law have no... no objection ..."

Lu Xinyan bit the bullet and kicked the ball to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Qing thought it made sense when she heard it, nephew is a very picky person, if the two of them fall in love, nephew won't like it, and it won't happen in the end.

"Then Yichen, you first..."

"Auntie, my nephew is married now, and the affairs in the backyard should be taken care of by my wife. My nephew has no objection!"

Word by word, forced out from the gap between the teeth, Madam bit the words hard and hard, as if biting on the body, Lu Xinyan only felt cold and painful.

The ball is kicked back again!
Xiao Qing nodded in satisfaction, "That's how it should be. The male leads the outside, and the female leads the inside. The male makes contributions, while the female takes care of the backyard. Each performs his or her own duties, so that they can be harmonious and beautiful! Zhuzhu..."

thump!Lu Xinyan didn't care about her discomfort, so she knelt in front of Xiao Qing, with a face full of remorse, she almost burst into tears, "Auntie, my nephew is sorry for you! My nephew can't accept this portrait!"

"Why?" Xiao Qing frowned.

Woohoo, yours is not a picture of a beautiful woman, but a picture of the emissary of hell!If she accepted it, she was afraid that she might not see the sun tomorrow!
"Auntie, when the emperor bestowed the marriage, the niece and daughter-in-law knew that their status was low and they were not worthy of the husband, so they proposed to take a concubine for the husband after marriage."

Xiao Qing turned cold, "Then what do you mean, do you think you are worthy of Yi Chen now?"

"My niece and daughter-in-law don't mean that! During the past six months, my niece and daughter-in-law have been attracted by her husband's heroic demeanor and thoughtfulness, and unconsciously put her heart on her..."

"Being attracted in the past six months? Could it be that you didn't fall in love with Yichen before?" Your nephew is so outstanding, how dare you look down on him as a divorced woman?Xiao Qing was suddenly unhappy!

Ouch, I have seen Daughter Kong, Son Kong, Sister Kong, Brother Kong, and this is the first time I have seen Nephew Kong!In her eyes, her nephew is gold and silver, and everyone should love him? !

Lu Xinyan slandered in her heart, but she urgently explained: "Auntie, you have misunderstood your nephew and daughter-in-law. As a former nephew and daughter-in-law, how dare you miss Xiao Shizi in your heart?"

That's about it!Xiao Qing was quite satisfied with the answer, "And then?"

"Women in the world are all greedy. Since they put it in their hearts, they naturally want to monopolize their husband's favor, so...my niece and daughter-in-law..." Lu Xinyan lowered her head and said weakly.

"You want to go back on your word?" Xiao Qing gave her a sharp look, then turned to Xiao Yichen, "Yichen, you just got married, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't be asking these things at this time, but this was previously requested by your wife. Now your daughter-in-law is going to repent, what do you mean?"

"Nephew is still the same sentence, nephew doesn't care about the backyard, leave it to my husband... man... to take care of it!"

You bastard!Give me a word and I will die!I just said something casually, now that I have shown my loyalty to you in a roundabout way, how can you still be steadfast?How petty, cheapskate!

Lu Xinyan's words just now were not so much a show of weakness to Xiao Qing, but a show of favor to Xiao Yichen, and wanted him to help fool this matter, but they pretended not to listen, it was really difficult to serve!
"Auntie, my nephew and daughter-in-law have spoken out their thoughts, but they don't want to hide it from you. If the time comes, the backyard will be unsettled and your husband's career will be affected. Please understand my niece and daughter-in-law's painstaking efforts."

"You mean, if I let you fulfill the previous promise, even if you choose two concubines for Yichen, you won't be able to accommodate them, and you would rather have a restless home, right?"

Lu Xinyan still lowered her head, but her voice lost the previous weakness, "My niece and daughter-in-law don't dare."

"Don't dare? Bengong sees that you have nothing to dare!" Xiao Qing became angry, "Yichen, your daughter-in-law turned back on her promises first, and now she is threatening Bengong instead. Say it yourself, what should you do about this?"

Originally, she was very dissatisfied with Lu Xinyan's marriage as her niece-in-law, but later Lu Xinyan offered to let her choose two concubines for Xiao Yichen, and because Lu Xinyan was so knowledgeable, Xiao Qing reluctantly accepted.

But now, the person is married, and she has chosen the concubine, but Lu Xinyan said that she would go back on her word and want to monopolize her favor!
Let her talk about the good and the ugly, Xiao Qing felt like being played by someone, and was furious!

Xiao Yichen stared at Lu Xinyan who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, angry and distressed, how could he kneel for so long with such a weak body?My aunt didn't let me get up, won't I get up by myself?How stupid! "Auntie, Zhuzhu is young and has many deficiencies. My nephew will definitely bring her back and discipline her!"

Xiao Qing waited for a long time, just waited for this sentence, said to be strict discipline, but in fact it was partial!

With such a scene, who are you lying to?She sneered, "I see that you have been fascinated by beauty and lost your head!"

Xiao Yichen frowned slightly, he respected Xiao Qing in his heart, but he didn't want Lu Xinyan to be wronged because of him, "Auntie..."

"Auntie!" Lu Xinyan interrupted: "I only look at the moon and protect each other. I only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals! My nephew and daughter-in-law didn't know what deep affection is before, but when they understand it, they are already so affectionate that they can't restrain themselves. Loved her, I believe my aunt can understand the difficulties of my niece and daughter-in-law."

Although she didn't like Xiao Qing to intervene in her affairs with Xiao Yichen, but Xiao Qing was Xiao Yichen's aunt, and she didn't want Xiao Yichen and Xiao Qing to have a rift because of her.

"Only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals?" Xiao Qingru got a blow to the head, her complexion turned pale, she muttered this sentence, thinking of Leng Xun, a crack appeared in her cold eyes.

Lu Xinyan remembered that Wu Sheng had said that Concubine Xiao Gui loves poetry very much, and she was very happy about that Qingyu case. There was a time when she repeated, "Everyone looks for him thousands of times. When I look back, the man is there, in a dimly lit place."

"In the past, the sea was too difficult to be water, except Wushan is not a cloud. Take the time to look back at Hua Cong, half destined for Taoism and half destined for king."

"I would like to be a winged bird in the sky, and I would like to be a connected branch in the ground."

"If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be there, day and night?"...

Lu Xinyan racked her brains and recited to Xiao Qing all the parts about love and love in the poems she remembered and remembered.

Xiao Qing was stunned for a while, and then said with a complicated expression: "You did all of this?"

"This is what my niece and daughter-in-law heard from other places, and there are many more. If my aunt likes it, my niece and daughter-in-law can write these down silently and send them to my aunt for appreciation!"

Xiao Qing looked at her, originally she was a little resentful because Xiao Yichen was protecting her, but thinking of herself and Leng Xun, her heart softened a little.

Looking at Lu Xinyan's sincere and frightened look, when she and her nephew were about to have a conflict because of her, she took the initiative to stand up and find a way to resolve it. She couldn't turn a blind eye to this kind of intention.

"Forget it, you young people, you can make as much trouble as you like!" Xiao Qing waved her hand and asked Jian Jia to take down the portrait, "However, I have clearly said that if you fail to continue the bloodline of the Xiao family within a year , I have to intervene!"

At the beginning, she chose to enter the palace as a concubine in order to keep the Duke of Zhen's residence. How could she be reconciled if she couldn't see the Xiao family's bloodline continue with her own eyes?
Lu Xinyan didn't know how to answer for a moment, she had never thought about consummating the marriage with Xiao Yichen before, and naturally she had never thought about the child.

Suddenly a figure knelt beside him, and a clear and sweet voice sounded solemnly beside his ears, "Nephew will work hard."

Xiao Qing: ...

Lu Xinyan's ears are hot, why work so hard, in front of her aunt, can she show some face?
Xiao Qing coughed, "Okay, the morning court is almost over, you go to greet the emperor."

"Auntie!" Lu Xinyan said suddenly: "It's noon today, can my niece and daughter-in-law accompany you for lunch?"

She raised her small face, feeling a little pitiful.

Xiao Qing naturally wouldn't think that this niece and daughter-in-law had any admiration for her, looked at Xiao Yichen, and asked him what he meant with her eyes.

Xiao Yichen snorted coldly in a voice that only he and Lu Xinyan could hear, which made Lu Xinyan tremble in fear.

Although the matter of the noble concubine has passed temporarily, the chill on Xiao Yichen's body has not dissipated, which shows that the uncle is still angry with her, and the instinctive desire to survive makes Lu Xinyan just want to delay leaving the palace!
Live a little longer, it's a little while!
At this time, Jian Jia ran in in a panic, "Imperial Concubine, something is wrong!"

"Why are you so flustered?"

"The Empress Dowager ordered just now that all palaces and halls are strictly guarded, and they are not allowed to walk around in the palace at will. Anyone who violates the order will be thrown into the cold palace immediately!"

Xiao Qing was taken aback, "What?"

"The servant asked the palace man who came to pass the decree in private, and said that the gate of the palace is also closed!"

"The gates of the palace are closed, and people in each palace are not allowed to move around..." Xiao Qing's expression changed, "Could it be the emperor..."

Xiao Yichen asked Jian Jia, "Did you go to court early?"

"Maybe not."

Xiao Yichen said: "Auntie, eight or nine are close to ten."

Lu Xinyan said: "Auntie, Bai Zhi entered the palace with her niece and daughter-in-law, and stayed with the Queen Mother before."

They didn't say it clearly, but they all knew that the empress dowager had such a big battle and locked everyone in the palace. Perhaps Emperor Longde suddenly fell ill and was extremely dangerous. In order to prevent the news from leaking, the empress dowager had no choice but to take this terrible plan!
Xiao Qing let out a sigh of relief, "Now you don't want to stay in the palace for dinner, you have to accompany me to have lunch."

She turned her head and told Jian Jia, "Order the small kitchen to add some dishes."

In today's situation, the imperial dining room may not be able to eat on time. Fortunately, there is a small kitchen in Ganquan Palace, so I won't starve myself.

"Yes, noble concubine."

After Jian Jia left, Xiao Qing said: "Yesterday you got married, and a big event happened in Beijing, do you know?"

"Auntie, please explain clearly." It means that I haven't heard of it yet.

Xiao Yichen: There is not enough time in the bridal chamber, how can I have time to listen to important events!
"Shen Qingyun, the eldest grandson of the Shen University scholar Shen Jingyun, is dead! It is said that some thieves broke into the Shen residence and stole a large number of... unsightly paintings. Everyone knows that Shen Jiaqing's reputation was destroyed, and Shen University's morale fainted. After waking up, I personally arranged to order someone to beat Shen Qingyun to death."

Xiao Qing glanced at Lu Xinyan, "There is a woman in that painting, Lu Xinhan, the third lady of the Uncle Ankang's Mansion."

Lu Xinhan?Lu Xinyan thought of Lu Xinyun's retaliation against Lu Xinhan for framing her to marry into the Shen family, and she understood.

Lu Xinyan already knew about Shen Qingzhu's affairs. Lu Xinyun didn't want to leave Shen's house, but chose to take revenge. She didn't stop her at that time.

Xiao Yichen said: "Auntie, except for eldest brother, the rest of the Ankang residence has nothing to do with Zhuzhu."

His tone was a little anxious, as if he was worried that Xiao Qing would misunderstand Lu Xinyan.

Xiao Qing gave him a white look, and said angrily: "Did I say that I have something to do with her? No matter what, she is always from the Ankangbo Mansion. Now that you are married, you will be prosperous and both will be prosperous!"

Xiao Yichen quickly lowered his head, "Nephew understands, send someone to deal with it immediately after nephew returns!"

"But it doesn't seem strange for me to see your daughter-in-law like this. Could it be that I already knew about it?" Shen Qingzhu's main wife is Lu Xinyun, the fourth lady of the Ankangbo Mansion, and the painting is Lu Xinhan. Heartless, this character... Thinking of this, Xiao Qing couldn't help but frown.

Lu Xinyan said frankly: "Auntie, it's a long story. Shen Qingzhu likes to get along with married women. Before his niece and daughter-in-law reconciled, he once suggested to her niece and daughter-in-law, but she was avoided by her. It happened that Shen Qingzhu was scalded by boiling water..."

"It's not that I was scalded by boiling water, I went to destroy it myself!" Xiao Yichen interrupted lightly.

Lu Xinyan opened her mouth wide in surprise, "It's you!?"

That surprised look doesn't seem to be fake at all, it seems that he really doesn't know!Xiao Qing glanced at the two of them, frowned and said: "Yi Chen, you are so courageous! Then what kind of family is the Shen family, if they are known, how can they give up?"

"Auntie, my nephew knew that Shen Qingzhu had secretly ruined the reputations of many good women, so he was angry for a while, so he took the initiative to teach him a lesson!"

"Your lesson is really ruthless! Directly... you will be crippled!" Xiao Qing lived in the deep palace for a long time, but Shen Qingzhu's censorship caused a lot of noise, and she also heard about it.

Immediately thinking of something, she stood up in shock, "Could it be that you guys..." Secretly communicated the song! ?

"Auntie, what are you thinking?" Xiao Yichen frowned seriously, with a righteous face, showing how could he be such a person!
Xiao Qing thought about Xiao Yichen's personality, and felt that she was overthinking, it might really be a coincidence!Then she sat down slowly and asked Lu Xinyan: "What happened next?"

Lu Xinyan withdrew her gaze on Xiao Yichen in a daze, it turned out that this guy had harbored evil intentions towards her earlier than she thought!

No, when I go back, I have to force a confession. When did I fall in love with her!
"After the niece and daughter-in-law divorced, Shen Qingzhu held a grudge. Relying on Shen's family background, she came to ask for marriage and wanted to marry her niece and daughter-in-law by force. He almost died a few times, and his relationship with them was in turmoil, so he planned to ask him to ask his second sister for marriage. The second sister didn't want to marry, so he asked the third sister to replace him. The third sister designed the fourth sister to be fooled.

Shen Qingzhu lost his mind, so he instigated the late Kong Tingyu, the young master of the Kong family, to show favor to his niece and daughter-in-law, but his niece and daughter-in-law were not fooled, and Kong Tingyu was not angry.Later, the emperor bestowed the marriage, and the eldest prince took advantage of Kong Tingyu's thoughts on his nephew and daughter-in-law, and found a singer to act in a play where he robbed the people's daughter. The next nephew of the niece's daughter-in-law saw it, saw the road was rough, and accidentally killed Kong Tingyu by mistake. Therefore, the Kong family blamed the matter on their nephew and daughter-in-law.

Kong Yuxi, the second young lady of the Kong family, made things difficult for her brother many times during the visit of the Wacha envoys, but in the end she met with misfortune!This time when I went to Jianglin, the Kong family used their prestige among the people to incite the people to deal with my nephew and Xiao Shizi. My niece didn't want to sit still and met Mrs. Kong in the palace on the fifth day of the lunar new year, hinting at the source of the tragedy of the Kong family. , is the person who bewitched Kong Tingyu!
The niece and daughter-in-law guessed that the Kong family would attack Shen Qingzhu, but they didn't expect it to be so soon!As for Shen Qingzhu's unsightly paintings, after the fourth sister got married, there was no news for a month. The niece and daughter-in-law were entrusted by the second aunt to go to Shen's mansion to inquire about the news and found out about Shen Qingzhu's dirty things, but the fourth sister was unwilling. Heli left the mansion, so the niece and daughter-in-law didn't care about it. "

Xiao Qing said: "So, you didn't know Kong Tingyu as rumored outside, and later designed the emperor to marry Yichen, and then kicked Kong Tingyu away, and you were afraid that she would get entangled and ruin your good marriage. , that’s why you sent someone to kill him?”

"Aunt Mingjian! Before Miss Kong Er met, my nephew and daughter-in-law had never even met Kong Tingyu face to face."

Xiao Yichen said: "Auntie, from June to October last year, Kong Tingyu accompanied his father on business trips. Before that, Zhuzhu had been keeping filial piety for his late mother in the Guangping Marquis Mansion."

Xiao Qing felt dissatisfied with Lu Xinyan in her heart. She was most afraid that Lu Xinyan would be a flamboyant woman, which was more terrifying than Heli's identity.

The government of the town can't stand a little trouble!
"My lord, lunch is ready."

"Let's pass on the meal." Xiao Qing looked at Lu Xinyan, "You guys got married yesterday and left so early today, you must be hungry."

Obviously she didn't say anything, but Lu Xinyan felt the implication in those words: Yesterday's big wedding was too ridiculous, if she couldn't get up in the morning and hurried out, she must not have had a good breakfast.

She glanced at Xiao Yichen with fever on her face, and the next second, what that guy said made her almost want to drill a hole in the ground, or bite his tongue, making him speechless!

"Auntie is wise! I really didn't eat much this morning, especially Zhuzhu."

This day is over!

The three had their lunch in peace.

Lu Xinyan was so hungry that she restrained herself at first, but the dish was so delicious, she couldn't help it later, she ate three bowls of rice and hiccupped before she stopped.

When she put down the bowl and chopsticks and touched her stomach contentedly, she realized that Xiao Qing had been staring at her.

Lu Xinyan remembered the ferocity of grabbing food just now, and her heart pounded, "Auntie, my niece and daughter-in-law don't usually eat so much..."

"I know." Xiao Qing hooked the corners of her lips, her expression was very similar to Xiao Yichen's, "I've exercised too much, I'm so hungry."

Lu Xinyan: ...Scary, my aunt actually drove with her!

"Eat more, I will be happy, in good health, and give birth to a small child earlier."

Lu Xinyan: ...

Jian Jia on the side smiled and said: "Princess, I see you eating so deliciously, I am so hungry, you will come to eat with the imperial concubine more often in the future, the empress uses half a bowl of rice more today than in the past!"

"Auntie, Zhuzhu has a few special dishes, and also some small gadgets. The reclining chair that the third prince gave you is Zhuzhu's idea."

Lu Xinyan glanced at him, this guy said good things for her, but he didn't even give her a look, showing that he was still angry.

Cheapskate!
"Really?" Xiao Qing was even more surprised now, "Bengong's taste is similar to Yichen's. If Zhuzhu has time, come to Bengong to try it. The food in this palace has been eaten for more than ten years, no matter how delicious it is. I'm tired of eating too."

"Yes, Auntie."

At this time, a familiar little eunuch was waving outside. Seeing this, Jian Jia hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words. After the little eunuch left, Jian Jia came over with a piece of paper, "Imperial Concubine, this is sent by the third prince." of."

Xiao Qing said: "This child, the Empress Dowager has already said that no one is allowed to move around, so he specially entrusted someone to send this."

Jian Jia said: "The third prince is afraid of the imperial concubine, you are worried."

Xiao Qing unfolded the letter, and handed it to Xiao Yichen after reading it, "Yichen, take a look."

Xiao Yichen looked at it and handed it to Lu Xinyan, Xiao Qing's eyes changed, and he held back what he wanted to say.

Lu Xinyan took a look at it, and it wrote about what happened this morning: Shen Qingzhu's incident was exposed yesterday, and the impeachment of the Second Prince's faction increased several times this morning. Especially regarding Jiang Lin's private raising of soldiers, there were suddenly countless evidences proving that the matter was indeed related to the second prince. The palace was sealed off to prevent any news from being leaked, and Mr. Ming Zhixiang was sent to see the emperor. After the diagnosis and treatment, the emperor was temporarily out of danger and woke up at noon.

Woke up at noon, now it's half past noon, Xiao Yichen asked: "Has the empress dowager's ban been lifted?"

Jian Jia shook her head, "No father-in-law came to deliver the decree."

"The emperor has woken up, and the ban has not been lifted, what does this mean?"

Lu Xinyan said: "Could there be another accident?"

Xiao Qing was thoughtful, "Since the emperor was ill, his temperament has changed greatly, and he has become more and more suspicious! The emperor has known about the empress and the second prince for half a month, and I am afraid that he will have trouble sleeping and eating in the past half month! I guess that the emperor is thinking about today. Let's end this matter!"

She looked at Xiao Yichen, with a gratified expression on her face, "This time about Jiang Lin, you asked Lord Jin and Lord Hu to come forward and give them the credit. This is a very good job! Otherwise, if you get involved in this matter, even the emperor After disposing of the queen and the second prince, he will also become suspicious of the Zhen Guo government and Sheng'er! In this way, our life will be even more difficult in the future."

She knew that Wu Sheng didn't have the heart to compete for the reserve, and she didn't want him to, but in this position, she couldn't help herself, if they didn't want to, they would have to die.

So there are some things that need not be said, and some things that can only be done!There is no turning back at all!

"My nephew understands."

"Okay, since the emperor is fine, let's wait here for the news." Xiao Qing said: "You guys got up early today, go and have a good rest first. Jian Jia, take the prince and princess to rest."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lu Xinyan simply couldn't wish for it. To be honest, she is now supported by perseverance.

Jian Jia took her to a side hall, and after Lu Xinyan thanked her, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep until dark.

When she woke up, she found that the room was pitch black, and with palace lanterns hung outside, she realized that it was already night.

Lu Xinyan got up in embarrassment and fell asleep for several hours, what a shame!It's all the fault of that bastard, if she hadn't been tormented so hard by him last night, how could she be so ashamed in Xiao Qing's place!

The maid outside heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door, "Is the Princess awake? Your Majesty told me that when the Princess wakes up, I will take you to dinner."

Eat, sleep, eat, eat, it's like a pig's life!Lu Xinyan's face became hot, but fortunately the room was dark so she couldn't see it.

She fanned it with her hands, straightened her dress and hair, pretended to be indifferent, and followed the maid to the main hall.

"I met my aunt."

By this time supper was being served.

"You don't need to be too polite, come and have a meal."

Lu Xinyan lowered her head, "I'm sorry, aunt, my niece and daughter-in-law are rude."

"There is no need for this kind of vain courtesy. You work hard to spread the branches and leaves for the Xiao family, which is the best courtesy to me."

Lu Xinyan: ...Auntie, can you still chat happily without leaving the branches and leaves?

As soon as she sat down, Jian Jia walked in with an unbelievable expression on her face, "Mother, son, princess, the case of Jiang Lin's private soldiers, the emperor has a result."

"Say."

"Concubine Kong's dismissal and investigation. Concubine Kong Shu invited the fourth prince to go to the wilderness in the northwest! They will not be recruited and will never return to Beijing!"

"Kong... family? Concubine Kong Shu? The fourth prince?" Xiao Qing was startled, "You heard me right? Isn't it the second prince and the Ge family?"

"I have asked this question three times, and it is absolutely true! It is the fourth prince and the Kong family who have the accident!"
