Chapter 290: Jiang Yanran's Invitation
On February 16th, Chen Xiuyan took Grandma Mu and Hongzhu to the back alley of Tianxiang Tower in Chenzheng. On the street where people were coming and going, the inconspicuous carriage parked in the back alley of Tianxiang Tower appeared.
When the carriage arrived, they got out of the carriage respectfully, opened the carriage door and asked the three of them to get in.
"Uncle Wu?"
"I didn't expect that the Crown Princess would still remember the little one." Uncle Wu replied with a smile, with some faint excitement in his eyes. He stepped forward and extended his hand to invite. Chen Xiuyan glanced at a red mole on the heart of his left hand.
Chen Xiuyan immediately looked away and without any doubts, she got on the carriage directly. Grandma Mu and Hongzhu followed. Uncle Wu got on the shaft. The carriage started slowly and drove directly out of the city to the Famen Temple on the outskirts of the city.
Uncle Wu asked the young monk in the temple to stop the carriage, gave him a small piece of silver, and then led Chen Xiuyan, the master and servant, to the back room in a familiar way. When they arrived at a remote courtyard, Uncle Wu stretched out his hand to invite Chen Xiuyan in, "Your Majesty,
The concubine invited me, but the master only invited the imperial concubine."
Uncle Wu's words made both Mother Mu and Hongzhu look dissatisfied.
"You guys wait for me outside for a while." Chen Xiuyan said, and then entered the small courtyard alone.
The main hall of the main courtyard was open, but with a thick curtain. Chen Xiuyan stretched out her hand to open it and went in. Sitting on the main seat was Jiang Yanran, and behind Jiang Yanran stood Wen Niang.
"The Crown Princess is here." Jiang Yanran raised her lips when she saw Chen Xiuyan, while Wen Niang lowered her body to give Chen Xiuyan a blessing.
"I don't know whether to call the second prince's concubine or Miss Jiang Wu?" Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.
"I would rather you just call me Yanran." Jiang Yanran said with a smile, "In this way, I can also call you Sister Xiuyan, how about that?"
Chen Xiuyan sat next to her at Jiang Yanran's invitation. Wen Niang cleverly poured tea and then stood respectfully behind Jiang Yanran.
"Yanran, do you want to talk about business or personal matters today?" Chen Xiuyan picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Sister Xiuyan, aren't you afraid that my motives are impure, so I dare to come here alone? Are you not afraid that there is something in my tea?" Jiang Yanran looked straight at Chen Xiuyan and said.
"Yanran has seen my abilities with her own eyes, why would she want to test me?" Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows and said, "First of all, I didn't come alone, there were two people following me openly, but also secretly, but you couldn't see it; secondly,
My medical skills have not deteriorated. Even if I am not sure if there is something strange in the tea, I can still tell by simply singing it."
"Of course the most important thing is that Yanran and Wen Niang have no motive to harm me." Chen Xiuyan affirmed, "From the time Uncle Wu personally picked up the people, and then to the choice of Famen Temple, Yanran wanted to make me think of the past
The scene where we meet."
"As expected of Sister Xiuyan." Jiang Yanran personally poured tea for Chen Xiuyan, "I'm sorry, I have always followed caution, otherwise my life would have been lost long ago. Please forgive me, Sister Xiuyan.
I’ll punish myself with a glass of wine instead.”
After Jiang Yanran finished speaking, she drank all the tea in her hand. Chen Xiuyan picked it up with a smile and finished it. With such an action, the test was over.
"Sister Xiuyan, I would like to thank you for your help with cousin Pan Ling's matter, otherwise my cousin would have died." Jiang Yanran's eyes were filled with deep sorrow and hatred, "The girls we associate with the Wu family are living too much.
It’s painful.”…
"Brand silk touches people's hearts, and sometimes it also serves as a reminder." Jiang Yanran smiled bitterly and said, "The Jiang family lent me as their concubine and took the second prince's boat. My future is foreseeable, but I don't accept my fate. I want to fight for myself."
Fight."
"I would also like to see my cousin reconcile. I heard that the Xie family, Xie Wan, and the Shanxi general also reconciled..."
"Yanran should know." Chen Xiuyan interrupted, "It is impossible for the royal family to have Heli. Princess Hanshan and Duke Shen do not have Heli. What's more, you are just a concubine."
Jiang Yanran's hand holding the tea paused, and behind her, Madam Wen looked up directly at Chen Xiuyan, her eyes full of light.
"Sister Xiuyan is indeed no ordinary woman." Jiang Yanran replied with a smile.
"This is common sense." Chen Xiuyan was a little speechless, "So you don't need to use these incomprehensible words to seduce me or provoke me. I won't accept this. Let's just talk about business."
"I want to take refuge with the third prince. Sister Xiuyan, please help me bring this to the third prince." Jiang Yanran leaned close and whispered, explaining the purpose of today.
Chen Xiuyan looked at Jiang Yanran doubtfully, with questioning eyes.
"Sister Xiuyan may think that I am a fake, and a good concubine of the second prince should not be a traitor." Jiang Yanran sneered, "Actually, I never wanted to be this concubine, nor did I want to be related to the second prince.
, I was given a medicine the day after I married the second prince, a medicine that will prevent me from having children for the rest of my life."
As soon as Jiang Yanran finished speaking, Chen Xiuyan's expression changed slightly. She took Jiang Yanran's hand and felt her pulse. Her brows instantly furrowed. Jiang Yanran did not tell lies. She was in a bad state.
"Since there is no future, then I would be stupid if I didn't plan for myself and save my life." Jiang Yanran said with a smile, but her expression looked like crying in Chen Xiuyan's eyes.
"The only thing I can think of is you, Sister Xiuyan. You have saved my life before, and you have also saved my cousin's life. Even in the situation that Wen Niang was in, you were able to save her life, so I hope you can save her again this time."
Let’s do it once.” Jiang Yanran said seriously.
Chen Xiuyan looked at Jiang Yanran, then at Niang Wen, and then smiled, "You guys think too highly of me. At most, if I have a chance to mention what you told me today, I can't guarantee the details.
.”
"I am willing to give everything I have to the Third Prince to help him." Jiang Yanran said immediately.
"I'll talk to my husband about this when I go back and see if he can meet the third prince. I'll mention it by the way." Chen Xiuyan didn't refuse, but she didn't kill him either.
"Thank you."
This result was already very good and was the most expected. After Jiang Yanran thanked her, she personally escorted Chen Xiuyan out of the room.
After returning to the carriage driven by Uncle Wu, Chen Xiuyan clearly felt that there was something extra in the carriage. It was not big, just bigger than a palm. There were some rosewood boxes. When she opened it, she found that it was full of banknotes that were almost overflowing.
The denomination is one thousand taels.
Both Mother Mu and Hongzhu had seen the world, and there was nothing strange about their expressions. Chen Xiuyan had thought of it before opening it, so she was not surprised. Instead, she closed the box very calmly and asked Mother Mu to put it away.
It didn't take much time to meet and talk, all the time was wasted on the road. After entering the city, Uncle Wu still sent the person back to the backyard of Tianxiang Tower.
"Prince Princess, let's go slowly." Uncle Wu watched Chen Xiuyan and the others go out of the alley, and then drove the carriage in the opposite direction without seeing them. Someone picked up the carriage on the way, and Uncle Wu got into a luxurious carriage. This was to be
Going out of the city to pick up Jiang Yanran.
However, the carriage did not belong to the palace, nor to the Jiang Mansion. There was a wooden sign hanging from the tassel hanging from the corner of the roof of the carriage, and the word "Tang" engraved on it was obvious.
