Chapter 282 Talking a lot is sometimes a good thing
After Jiang Fang returned to the palace, Banxia felt a little unhappy. She said to Jiang Fang: "Princess, aren't you angry? There are not many good words in the eighth princess' mouth."
After getting along with each other in the past few days, Jiang Fang had already figured out these palace maids clearly. He originally thought that these people were arranged by Empress Dowager Jiang, but later Jiang Fang realized that he was so lucky.
Empress Dowager Jiang arranged for some people to come in, but among the personal maids selected by Jiang Fang, only Li Chun was one of Empress Dowager Jiang's.
But besides being able to monitor Jiang Fang, he was very sophisticated in his words and deeds, as he was trained by Empress Dowager Jiang, while Banxia had a more lively temperament and often spoke without scruples.
Qiu Sang is not very talkative, but is very nimble with her hands and feet. Dong Kui is a bit clumsy, but she is down-to-earth and treats others sincerely.
Although Empress Dowager Jiang did not treat Jiang Fang badly at all after entering the palace, she still felt that the skills of the ancient people were still a bit poor, and they often cooked by themselves.
Of course, it was also when no one was around, otherwise if this was spread, Jiang Fang would have no prestige in the palace at all, but she did not deliberately hide it from the personal maid.
It would definitely not work without his own confidants in the palace. Although Chunli was experienced and capable, she was not his own after all. Jiang Fang still wanted to train other palace ladies.
Even if they can't accomplish big things, at least they don't have to lie awake every day in fear of being stabbed, so Jiang Fang first chose to bribe them with delicious food.
There have been some achievements in the past few days. At least when they asked Banxia and Dongkui about the prince, they chose to tell them instead of keeping it secret.
As soon as she came in and heard Ban Xia say this, Chun Li reprimanded: "You'd better not point fingers at the master's matters, so as not to cause trouble."
Chunli acted like a big brother, so Banxia shut her mouth, but still muttered: "I just can't stand her bullying the princess."
Jiang Fang smiled and said: "What's the matter with your words? Just let her say what she said, and I'll just pretend that I didn't hear you. But Chunli is right, Banxia, you should be more careful with your mouth outside."
"
Banxia quickly leaned over and saluted Jiang Fang: "Princess atones, Banxia realizes her mistake."
Jiang Fang waved his hand and then said: "Qiu Sang, have you packed your luggage?"
Qiu Sang took out a set of armor and put it in front of Jiang Fang, and then said: "Back to Princess, your luggage is all packed. This is the armor sent by Empress Dowager Jiang. Princess, do you want to try it on to see if it fits?"
Jiang Fang swallowed as she looked at the armor. Although she was very afraid of death, the armor seemed to weigh dozens of kilograms. Could it really be used in battle if she wore it?
Jiang Fang waved his hand and said: "We are not going to fight here, and there is no need for such a big battle. Just put it away. After the palace leaves tomorrow, you remember that no matter who it is, no one is allowed to enter the Splendid Palace.
"
The four of them agreed and went down to do their own business. Jiang Fang looked at the huge Jinxiu Palace and wondered when he would be back after leaving.
During this period, it is inevitable that there will be people with evil intentions. If they do anything, I may not even have enough life to die. The water in this palace is very deep.
Because it was a dream of Empress Dowager Jiang, there was no big fuss when going there, and even leaving the palace seemed a bit quiet.
After Jiang Fang left the palace, for some reason, he felt like he had regained his freedom. It was really overwhelming, and some words may need to be analyzed word by word.
Jiang Fang led a few guards and Ban Xia all the way south, while Duan Jiu led others all the way north. Although they met when they left the palace, they didn't have any intersection.
Banxia looked at Duan Jiu's team and asked in a low voice: "Princess, do you really plan to marry this hostage after you come back?"
Jiang Fang nodded. In fact, she wanted to be separated from Duan Jiu, but after separation, without this relationship, it would be inconvenient for her to complete her mission in the future.
After Banxia saw it, he said: "This guy is indeed handsome, but I heard that he is a medicine jar, which seems not to be favored by the king of Yue State. He is very disgusted."
When Banxia said this, Jiang Fang remembered Duan Jiu's nightmare that night. He seemed to have told himself that his father suspected that he was not his biological child.
This may be the reason why Duan Jiu is so talented, but was sent as a hostage by Yue State. Duan Jiu's mother is probably no longer alive.
Jiang Fang became interested instantly and took Banxia with her because she felt that the baby's mouth couldn't stop and she might be able to learn something from her mouth.
"How do you know this piece of Jiu is a medicine jar?"
Banxia said proudly: "My slave was working in Wanghua Pavilion. After you returned to the palace, Princess, my aunt saw that your slave was diligent and diligent, so she wrote your name into the Jinxiu Palace.
When he was in Wanghua Pavilion, Duan Zhizi always stayed in his room and never came out. But the emperor, no, Jiang Huaigu seemed to hate Duan Zhizi, so he forced him to come out and plant flowers.
Duan Zhizi was once the butt of jokes. How despicable a gardener is. He was the ninth prince of Yue State and became a gardener of Yong State, but his health became worse and worse.
At first, he just coughed a few times, and then he slowly started to faint. The imperial doctor couldn't find anything wrong, but said he was overworked. Later, maybe because he got bored, he was sent to Hammer Village."
Although Jiang Fang knew that the poison on his body was already very serious, the poison was chronic and would only slowly erode his body and eventually kill him.
Although Duan Jiu's body is a little weak, he won't faint if he does those kinds of work. The black tea is probably just a fake, and he will be fine even if he is herding sheep in the countryside.
Jiang Fang asked again: "Then why is he not welcomed by Yue Guo? He doesn't look like a straw bag."
Banxia looked outside the carriage and lowered her voice and said, "This slave also heard what others said. When the Yue State fought against the Yong State, the Yue State had a chance of winning.
But for some unknown reason, during a battle, reinforcements from Yue State were delayed in arriving, and food and fodder were taken advantage of the chaos, so Yue State was defeated.
The general who led the army was the famous God of War in Yue State, but he later died in that battle. And that general was Duan Zhizi's uncle and Concubine Hui's cousin.
So they said that Duan Jiu was sent here for the sake of the prestige of Concubine Hui’s family. Their family has great military achievements, and the emperor is probably afraid of her."
Jiang Fang frowned. Even if Duan Jiu's mother-in-law, Concubine Hui, had great military exploits, she would not turn her anger on Duan Jiu.
If Jiang Fang guessed correctly, the king of Yue State probably thought that Concubine Hui was having an affair with her cousin and Duan Jiu was left alone, so he cut off the food and grass and poisoned Duan Jiu.
It is really hard to imagine that such a biological father could conclude that Duan Jiu was not his son just because he didn't look like him, and he would kill him so viciously. No wonder Duan Jiu had such a gloomy temperament.
