When Prime Minister Jiang rushed to Zhuangzi, he saw He lying alone in the lobby. Her clothes had been changed, but her face was blue-white, which was different from ordinary people, and her fists were still clenched tightly.
He took a closer look at He and saw that there were indeed no injuries on his body.
"Take me to the place where the eldest lady made a mistake."
"yes."
The maid led the people to the backyard and said as they walked: "After dinner, the eldest lady inquired about things in the capital. She always sighed, got upset and wanted to go for a walk in the backyard, but ended up falling down."
Prime Minister Jiang looked at the empty area around the mouth of the well, but there were steps at the mouth of the well. Besides, there was no place to go around, and it was still some distance away from the pavilion.
Therefore, Prime Minister Jiang was certain that He died unexpectedly.
A figure suddenly appeared in his mind. Jiang Yunxu's face was full of scars, but he had a pair of unfathomable eyes. It was not easy to look at him.
Apart from Jiang Yunxu, he couldn't think of anyone else for the time being.
Prime Minister Jiang fell into the hands of Jiang Yunxu many times, and now Lian Lianfa's wife has been murdered. This debt can only be repaid with blood!
"Come here, seal all information about the truth, no one is allowed to leak it!"
"yes!"
Prime Minister Jiang settled the people in the family temple, got up and rode back overnight. Looking at the bright lights in the yard, he knew that the old lady was not asleep yet.
So as soon as he opened his mouth, Mrs. Jiang responded: "Come in."
Prime Minister Jiang raised the curtain and came in with a gloomy face: "It seems to be an accident, but it is definitely not. He is not such a careless person."
Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath: "Have you found any clues?"
"Not yet. Mr. He sent away all the people waiting on her. No one saw anything."
Prime Minister Jiang is more concerned about the fact that his eldest son has just engaged in marriage and will get married in three months. If he holds a funeral for He at this juncture, the marriage will be delayed for three years, and he is afraid of General Wen.
You may not agree.
It was with great difficulty that he won over General Wen.
"What do you mean?"
"We kept the mourning secret, but told the outside world that he was seriously ill and could only rest in the house."
He's death was untimely. He still had a lot of important responsibilities. Once this matter was exposed, the emperor would definitely find an excuse to take away some of his rights.
Because there is a rule in Lingzhou State that if one spouse of a couple dies, the other spouse must observe a vegetarian diet for one year.
It was precisely with this in mind that Prime Minister Jiang suppressed the news as soon as possible.
"But this is not an accident. The other party will definitely find a way to reveal it."
Prime Minister Jiang was not worried about this: "The He family is in our hands, and the other party has no evidence to spread rumors. My son will find someone to replace the He family."
The situation in the capital was changing rapidly, and he could not let it go.
He couldn't afford to delay this year.
"Have you ever thought about who this matter is related to?"
Prime Minister Jiang said in a deep voice: "Who else could be there besides that dead girl?"
Both mother and son have a clear mind.
"We can no longer tolerate this girl's mischief." Prime Minister Jiang whistled, and a secret guard immediately came and handed over two small bottles of different colors.
"This is?"
"The white one is a colorless and odorless medicine that can make people go crazy. The green one is the antidote."
Looking at these two medicines, Mrs. Jiang immediately understood what they meant.
This medicine is exactly the same as what Feng took back then, and she is already familiar with it.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
"My son is ashamed and still needs his mother's help." Prime Minister Jiang pretended to feel guilty.
Mrs. Jiang waved her hand: "You are the most promising person in this family. Without you, there would be no Jiang family today. We won't talk about this between you and me."
next day
Three Princes' Mansion
"Is there any movement outside?" Jiang Yunxu asked from time to time after breakfast and walking in the yard.
Hong Qiao shook her head.
"Are you sure the person is dead?"
"Master, I personally saw her flopping in the well and lost her breath. It took half an hour for me to leave."
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for He to survive.
Jiang Yunxu wondered: "This is strange. According to the distance, the Jiang family should have received the news a long time ago. Why is there no news at all?"
"This slave doesn't know."
"Isn't this old guy not mourning and hiding the news?"
Jiang Yunxu suddenly thought.
If that's really the case, it's so heartless.
"Isn't there any movement in Yulou Pavilion?"
"Master, if there was any news, I would have brought you here long ago."
Jiang Yunxu smiled, that's what happened. According to Jiang Yan'er's temper, she might have come over and made a fuss.
That's all, let's just forget about it. She just happened to go out to look at the shop today.
A batch of clothes has been designed and put into operation on the market. The effectiveness of rouge and gouache is far better than she imagined. Every time the latest batch of lipstick is put on the shelves, it will be robbed, and the supply exceeds demand.
As soon as she walked to the shop, she saw Shangguan Qingyao and her maid choosing rouge.
Different from the humility when they first met, Shangguan Qingyao was filled with arrogance at this time.
"Princess, this is the latest batch of rouge and lipstick. There are only three copies in the entire capital."
Shangguan Qingyao glanced at the shopkeeper's enthusiastic sales: "Where is your boss?"
The shopkeeper was stunned and immediately said: "My boss doesn't usually come to the shop. Don't worry, Princess, I will recommend the best to you."
"You are worthy of standing in front of me and talking?" Shangguan Qingyao sneered and raised his chin: "Let your boss do it."
Looking at Shangguan Qingyao's arrogant look, the shopkeeper's eyes were obviously a little impatient, but he endured it and said with a smile: "The Ninth Prince is usually busy with official duties and rarely comes to the shop..."
"Is he busy with official duties?" Shangguan Qingyao couldn't help but sneer: "What can a disabled prince be busy with? He's just looking for excuses to refuse."
After saying the words "disabled prince", the shopkeeper gasped.
He finally figured out that Shangguan Qingyao was here to cause trouble.
"It's from the shopkeeper!" Jiang Yunxu appeared striding forward: "I heard there's a new product, please wrap it up for me."
When the shopkeeper saw that it was the second owner, he didn't expose it. He immediately bent down and wrapped everything up with a sigh.
"You are so presumptuous, these are the things my princess likes!"
The maid next to Shangguan Qingyao scolded her, and Jiang Yunxu asked, "Did you agree verbally or give money?"
"you!"
"None of them." The shopkeeper, Ma Liu, packed up all three portions and handed them to Jiang Yunxu.
He knew that the second boss was not easy to mess with either.
"Put it down, this is what my princess was interested in first."
The maid stretched out her hand to grab it, but Hong Qiao grabbed her wrist and said, "You are so impudent that you dare to be disrespectful to my master!"
"My master is the Princess of Dongyang!" the maid said, holding her neck in disbelief.
Hongqiao was not to be outdone: "My master is Princess Chen, and a little princess dares to make a mistake in front of Princess Chen!"
The maid was speechless and could only look at Shangguan Qingyao.
"Are you the Princess Chen whose appearance was ruined?" Shangguan Qingyao slowly stood up and reached out to take the gift box in Jiang Yunxu's hand.
Jiang Yunxu nimbly dodged and avoided her hand.
Shangguan Qingyao's hand just stopped in mid-air, raised awkwardly.
"Bring it!"
"I have already paid the money, why should I give it to you?"
She no longer cares about her reputation. As long as she does things to please her superiors and gives her a guarantee, she doesn't mind offending people everywhere.
Shangguan Qingyao glared: "I caught my eye first. You were robbing them openly, and you took everything away. It's so unethical!"
Jiang Yunxu was even more arrogant than her: "I paid the price and it's mine. Do you care how much I buy?"
"You must leave one set today!"
Shangguan Qingyao had promised her mother that she would bring a set back, but the payment was delayed. She was angry with Chu Xunzhi and wanted to see him to deliberately create trouble.
"impossible!"
Jiang Yunxu refused to give in.
The two of them faced each other like this, neither giving in to the other.
Shangguan Qingyao pulled off Jiang Yunxu's veil, looked at the crisscross scars on her face, and pretended to be disgusted: "It's so ugly!"
"Pah!" Jiang Yunxu gave the other party a slap in the face without any politeness.
Shangguan Qingyao was immediately blinded. She covered her numb face and glared at Jiang Yunxu.
"You're crazy, you dare to hit me!"
Jiang Yunxu sneered: "If you commit any of the following offenses, I will hit you lightly. You are just a little princess. Do you really think that you are going to be the queen soon?"
She was indeed proud of her destiny, and even her attitude was high even without realizing it.
"You know that my princess is the future queen and you dare to offend me, you are seeking death!" the maid said angrily.
Jiang Yunxu immediately looked at the master and servant with an expression that looked like they were fools.
Queen Mu was in her early thirties, she was young and in good health. Moreover, Emperor Lingzhou was not very old, and all the princes were still young. Suddenly, a phoenix appeared. Was this a curse on Queen Mu or on Lingzhou?
Where is the state emperor?
idiot!
"Empress?" Jiang Yunxu sneered.
"Why are you laughing?" Shangguan Qingyao covered her face and glared at her.
The two of them were arguing, and Shangguan Qingyao felt that something was wrong. She seemed to be being led by Jiang Yunxu.
What Jiang Yunxu is not afraid of the most is that things will get bigger and bigger.
I wish I could go to the palace to make trouble.
Things were just as Jiang Yunxu expected. She took the initiative to start a fight and started a fight with Shangguan Qingyao in the street. Both of them suffered minor injuries to varying degrees.
So the fight went to the palace as a matter of course. Shangguan Qingyao didn't want to go at first, but Hong Qiao threw her into the carriage and she couldn't refuse at all.
"Queen, I know that I am ugly, but the princess should never take off my veil in public."
Queen Mu had a headache. She helped Jiang Yunxu make the decision yesterday, and now she is here again.
The frequency of entering the palace is a bit too high.
"The princess, relying on her destiny as the future empress, deliberately made things difficult for her. She also said that she would embarrass her. She had no choice but to take action."
Jiang Yunxu spoke sharply and finished speaking before Shangguan Qingyao.
When Queen Mu heard this, she became energetic and sat up.
Shangguan Qingyao was furious. She raised her head and met Queen Mu's cold eyes, trembling with fright: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean this."
"Then Princess Chen has wronged you?" Queen Mu looked at Jiang Yunxu and motioned for her to say more.
Jiang Yunxu immediately said: "Several people at that time can testify for my wife. Do you dare to swear by the entire Dongyang Prince's Palace? If you are lying, the entire Dongyang Palace will confiscate the families of the nine clans!"
"you!"
Shangguan Qingyao was so angry that Jiang Yunxu almost vomited blood.
She must have gone out without reading the almanac to meet such a plague god!
"Princess Princess?" Queen Mu shouted.
Shangguan Qingyao trembled all over, not daring to tell lies, so she could only murmur and nodded.
At that time, Emperor Lingzhou happened to arrive and saw two people with disheveled hair kneeling in the palace. He took a closer look and saw that they were Princess Chen and the princess.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
Everyone salutes.
Emperor Lingzhou waved his hand: "No need to be polite, what's going on?"
Immediately, a little palace maid told him the whole story, and Emperor Lingzhou immediately looked at him with a dark and unclear look.
Shangguan Qingyao.
"Your Majesty, my wife has suffered great humiliation today. Please make the decision!"
Jiang Yunxu kowtowed to Emperor Lingzhou, and soon his forehead turned purple.
Emperor Lingzhou quickly waved his hand: "Stop kowtowing. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment and did not mean to offend. I will apologize to Princess Chen right now."
Shangguan Qingyao realized something was wrong and quickly apologized to Jiang Yunxu, but Jiang Yunxu was a tough opponent and refused to let go: "The princess tore off my wife's veil in public in the name of the future empress. She has already taught her a lesson."
It has caused psychological harm to my wife, how can I give up so easily?"
"Then what do you want?" Shangguan Qingyao was almost furious with her.
There's no end to it, just push it further!
"Your Majesty, in the future Feng Ming should be as dignified, virtuous, virtuous and generous as the Queen."
Jiang Yunxu blew a rainbow fart at Queen Mu.
Queen Mu said to Emperor Lingzhou: "I just fulfilled my obligations and duties, and I don't dare to take credit."
"You have worked hard these years." Emperor Lingzhou praised Queen Mu fiercely and winked at Jiang Yunxu.
Jiang Yunxu wanted to pretend not to understand, but the other party's intention was too obvious.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, since the princess is destined by fate and is living abroad, she always arouses people's jealousy. Privately, many people want to marry the princess, but no one dares to bear the charge of treason.
If the princess's blooming age is delayed any longer, she will become an old maid."
Shangguan Qingyao's eyelids twitched and he said hurriedly: "It's all nonsense from outside..."
"How could it be possible? Your maids all said so. If the emperor hadn't trusted Dongyang Palace, he would have thought that Dongyang Palace was going to rebel!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Shangguan Qingyao felt a familiar feeling when she saw Jiang Yunxu's sharp mouth.
Emperor Lingzhou remained silent, waiting for Jiang Yunxu to show off.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has taken care of my wife many times. I am worried that this is a curse. The Queen is still young and has a bad fate. I must quickly think of ways to break it and protect the safety of the Queen."
Jiang Yunxu has already paved the road, and she believes that Emperor Lingzhou will definitely have a way to arrange everything that follows.
Emperor Lingzhou glanced at Empress Mu with concern and immediately said: "Jianqin Tianjian!"
Oh haha!
Jiang Yunxu knew that Shangguan Qingyao was going to die.
It is certain that she will enter the palace and become a concubine.
