Chapter 99: Trace the truth

Huai'an suddenly realized: "Sister-in-law said that, I understand that Jingzhao Yin Yamen is extremely vicious, ordinary people will have to peel off if they die, let alone deliberately convicting them, I am afraid that several of them will be beaten and beaten. "
The peasant woman was hurt and she cried even harder. The baby she was holding in her arms seemed to be infected by the mother's desperate emotions, and immediately followed and wept.
Jiang Xiaolou stood up suddenly and walked straight out. Xie Liancheng nodded gently to Huaian, and immediately followed Jiang Xiaolou away. Huai'an pushed an ingot of silver to the peasant woman and said, "Sister-in-law, my son, thank you for your water."
The peasant woman was taken aback, and she was at a loss when she took the heavy silver.
Xie Liancheng went out and found Jiang Xiaolou was staring at the children playing in the mud in the yard. Her expression was very serious and focused, and he didn't bother her even when he approached.
Xie Liancheng just said lightly: "Do you understand everything now?"
As previously guessed, Concubine Shun and Anhua Junwang joined forces in a play. They first bought Xiao Zhu and let her lurch beside Xue Ning. When Xue Ning had something to do, they dealt with the others, and sent Xiao Zhu back to the old princess, waiting for Princess Qing to catch Xiao Zhu and lead out. This old case. In this way, their suspicion can be completely removed, and the murderer will become a person who has suffered all their grievances. I have seen shameless people, and I have never seen such shameless people. Sure enough, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the mountains, wonderful!
Xie Liancheng sighed softly: "This matter is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. How can such a situation be set up by a concubine Shun? Therefore, instead of facing the enemy, it is better to take a roundabout approach."
"Circuitous strategy, what does this mean?" Jiang Xiaolou turned his head to look at him, and the man in front of him looked like a crown jade, and his clothes were lightly dressed. The expression on staring at her was particularly gentle.
Xie Liancheng's eyes gradually deepened: "The son of Prince Qing doesn't like to associate with people, but he is the real son of the princess, which is credible. Princess Qing is weak, but for her own daughter, she will be credible at all costs. "
This is to let her find a powerful alliance. Jiang Xiaolou couldn't help but shook his head: "Wang Hao is not in good health, and the world's son cannot communicate. These two people... temporarily cannot help."
"Princess Qing and Empress Empress have always had a very good relationship, so they have not been favored for many years but have been sitting firmly in the position of concubine. As for the son himself, he is actually very smart, but he is so smart to the outside world that he is so sensitive. These two... it depends on how you use it."
The corners of Jiang Xiaolou's lips raised, and he whispered softly: "So the old man knows everything, I thought you don't like to wade in muddy water."
Xie Liancheng's expression remained as usual, but his eyes lightly turned to the group of playing children, and his voice was quiet: "If you stand in the water, I can't stand by."
Jiang Xiaolou was completely stunned, and mixed emotions surged in his heart.
The last sunset glow of the sky fell on him, and the glow dyed his handsome face with an elegant rose color. The man in front of her had a tall nose, slightly pursed thin lips, which were similar to perfect contours, everything seemed so familiar... But she felt that she could not see his expression or guess his thoughts anyway.
Xie Liancheng's voice was very calm, and his eyelashes drooped to cover the seemingly impossibly pampering under his eyes: "The huge Qing Palace, you can find the third alliance."
Jiang Xiaolou blinked and said slowly: "The King Qing loves Concubine Shun so much, and the first son and the second son are both sons of Concubine Shun. In the Palace of King Qing, the princess and I are said to be independent, you Who is the so-called third alliance?"
Xie Liancheng laughed: "There may be no chance of winning when facing the enemy head-on, but what if the enemy is in the opponent's camp?"
Jiang Xiaolou was completely stunned: "My son, are you crazy, or am I wrong?"
A child covered in mud ran over with a grin and looked at Xie Liancheng curiously. Xie Liancheng smiled and touched his head, and said softly, "I think this person will come to you soon."
The carriage drove her back to the palace. When she got off the carriage, Xie Liancheng, who had been silent, suddenly called out, "Xiaolou."
Jiang Xiaolou turned his head to look at him, his eyes brightened unconsciously.
Xie Liancheng just smiled: "No matter when, I hope you put your safety first."
Jiang Xiaolou's heart moved slightly, and it was unclear whether it was touching or complicated, the tide surged up instantly, soaking her heart softly. For a long time, she raised a smile and said in a brisk tone: "Thank you for your concern, I will not forget your words."
Jiang Xiaolou’s scarlet skirt disappeared into the tall gate of the Qing Palace. This majestic gate was like a huge monster, spreading its gloomy and terrifying fangs, gradually engulfing her slender body, and never seen it again. .
Huai'an couldn't help but joked: "Don't look at you, son, everyone is gone!"
Xie Liancheng shook his head lightly: "If you pull a hair and move your whole body, a concubine Shun can't set off such a big storm. I'm really worried about her..."
Huai'an curled his lips: "Know that you still don't persuade her! It is well known that King Qing loves Concubine Shun. If it weren't for the Queen's empress to protect her all the time, maybe the Princess would have to make room for it! I can’t help at all. If things get bigger, I’m afraid that the princess and the prince will have to suffer along with it! Miss Jiang’s wandering in this muddy water at this time is too dangerous. She still has grudges to revenge. What a fool to do something for others!"
Xie Liancheng's eyes were deep: "In her heart, Li Xuening is more important than herself."
Huai An looked at him puzzledly, Xie Liancheng seemed to mutter in a low voice: "Jiang Xiaolou is very strong on the outside, but her heart is very fragile. Li Xuening is actually her psychological pillar and has been supporting her hard. If Li Xuening lives one more day, Jiang Xiaolou’s happiness will continue for another day. And now that someone has ruined this happiness and hurt her best friend, do you think she will just ignore it? Don’t say it’s just for celebrating the palace, even if you want Against all the people in the world, she has to find out the truth. This is her stubbornness and her loveliness."
Huai'an secretly slandered in his heart, Jiang Xiaolou's appearance is indeed outstanding, but there are not no girls who are more beautiful than her. Her temperament is too strong, and her temper is stubborn, afraid that the son will suffer a lot in the future...Looking at Xie Liancheng with a gentle smile, it was like a change of person, Huaian sighed heavily.
Do not live by committing sins.
As soon as Jiang Xiaolou returned to the courtyard, he saw Chaoyun waiting at the door, his shoulders wet with dew. Seeing Jiang Xiaolou coming, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Miss Jiang, the princess invites you to come over."
Jiang Xiaolou went straight to see Princess Qing, and when he entered the door, he noticed a girl in a light blue shirt sitting beside the Princess. The misty eyes were vast and sentimental, with a chuchu smile on their face, and the cowardly state of the whole body was looking at him.
Princess Qing raised her head and beckoned to her: "Come on, sit down next to me."
Jiang Xiaolou walked over, and Princess Qing directly took her to sit down by the bed and whispered, "Xiaolou, what can you gain today?"
Jiang Xiaolou glanced at He Lianhui, but said with a slight smile: "Although I went out for a day, I didn't get much."
Princess Qing couldn't help showing disappointment on her face: "Really, those bandits..."
Jiang Xiaolou said in a calm tone, "Those people are indeed gangsters who are used to robbing houses. However, it is very difficult to find out their identities specifically, because Jing Zhaoyin Yamen does not allow anyone to visit, and is not even willing to disclose their names. Clearly because It is a repeat offender by the court, but secretly, they do not want them to have any contact with the outside world. In this way, it is really difficult to find clues."
He Lianhui's delicate shoulders trembled, and her clear eyes were stained with anxiety: "The other party is so cunning, what should we do?" Because of her urgency, she coughed softly for a while.
Princess Qing quickly stroked her back and said with pity: "Silly boy, don't be so excited, there is always a solution to everything."
He Lianhui looked at the princess affectionately, her long eyelashes were stained with tears, and she said: "Although I am not useful, I also want to help. But this broken body is really not good--"
Princess Qing said: "No need, no need! You should take good care of your illness, and you don't have to think about everything else. Now that I have lost Cher, do I have to catch you again?"
He Lianhui seemed to be afraid of the princess's sadness, so she wiped away her tears and said softly, "Okay, I will take care of my illness, and my mother will take care of my body. Don't be too sad. Now that my second sister is gone, I will always be with you. of."
Princess Qing's eyes softened unconsciously, she gently touched her hair, and smiled: "Okay."
Jiang Xiaolou looked at her quietly, his eyes were cold and icy from beginning to end, and there was no temperature at all.
He Lianhui turned her head, her expression was a little bit shy, and she appeared more gentle: "Xiaolou, can I call you like that?"
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes were deep, and his smile deepened in an instant: "Of course, you can call it whatever you like."
He Lianhui's voice was low and soft, and was extremely sweet and tactful: "I have a few words that I have never uttered, and I am blunt today. Please forgive me. Although Concubine Shun has always been unpredictable, she will not take such a big thing. Come to make a joke. Even if they tell a big lie, is Jing Zhaoyin's Yamen helping them to conspire? This is not justified in any case."
Princess Qing opened her mouth to refute, but could not speak. That's right, if Concubine Shun and Junwang Anhua tried their best to conceal the cause of Li Xuening's death, that makes sense. Why would even Jing Zhaoyin help them? How can Shun Fei He De, be able to cover the sky in Beijing? He Lianhui's guess can be said to be reasonable, and obviously, this is also in line with ordinary people's thinking.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly: "What you said is that there is indeed such a possibility."
Seeing that she seemed to be persuaded by herself, He Lianhui said gently and honestly: "If this is the case, you might as well relax your mind and wait for changes in the situation. Mother should not always clash with Concubine Shun, be careful of other people's tactics, and leave the peace of the family. It's serious to recuperate well, and don't worry about other things."
As soon as Princess Qing was about to speak, Jiang Xiaolou calmly said word by word: "Yes, nothing is more important than your own body. I don't think about other things for the time being. Things - there will be a day when things will come to light. "
He Lianhui's heart jumped when she heard the four words coming out of the water, and she immediately looked at Jiang Xiaolou, only to see her with picturesque brows and a smile in her eyes looking directly at herself. That smile undoubtedly brought some scrutiny and ridicule. However, as soon as his eyes blinked, the other party returned to normal, and there was no slight difference.
He Lianhui's pupils began to shrink, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. After a long time passed, he said stiffly, "Yes."
When He Lianhui left, Princess Qing couldn't hide her disappointment, her tone was sorrowful: "Unexpectedly, I can't find any clues. The other party is really meticulous."
Flames throbbed in Jiang Xiaolou's dark pupils: "It's not that you can't find anything, at least I'm sure that Concubine Shun and Anhua County are all lying."
Princess Qing was slightly stunned: "What is going on, didn't you just say--"
Jiang Xiaolou's tone was extraordinarily calm: "In front of outsiders, it is better for the princess not to reveal too much."
"But Huier is not an outsider."
"For me, she is an outsider." Jiang Xiaolou took a deep breath and slowly said: "Wang Hao, if you don't want He Lianhui to be the attacker of Shun Fei, it is better to let her stay out of the matter."
Something in Princess Qing's smile was slowly freezing, and she opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly there was a noise outside. Princess Qing sank her face and said, "What happened?"
Chao Yuncheng came in anxiously and replied: "Return to the princess, the princess of Anhua County is clamoring to come in. The servant girl has already said that the princess will not meet the guests, but she has to do so, the servant girl can't stop her."
Zuo Xuan had already lifted the bead curtain and walked quickly, Xu Shi walked too quickly, and the two exquisitely crafted golden tassels swayed in his ears, and a beautiful face was also covered with frost.
Princess Qing's face instantly became extremely ugly: "Zuo Xuan, who gave you such a right, dare to trespass into my bedroom!"
Zuo Xuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Wang Hao, please don't be angry. It's so rude today because I want to see Miss Jiang."
Zuo Xuan has been seeking meetings three times, but Jiang Xiaolou has been turned away. She is not interested in the princess of Anhua County, let alone the woman from Zuo University Scholar's Mansion. But today, the other party was obviously not here for greetings, Jiang Xiaolou said lightly: "Since the princess of the county insists on seeing me, please ask outside."
Princess Qing said coldly: "Don't pay attention to her, these unruly things simply ruin the reputation of Zuo Fu!"
Zuo Xuan's complexion changed slightly, and then he smiled more openly, "The princess is also right. I really don't have a tutor. Even if I'm tired, the palace will be embarrassed with Zuo's family."
Jiang Xiaolou just smiled: "The princess doesn't need to be angry, it's just the effort of saying a few words and it won't get in the way."
Princess Qing said helplessly: "Zuo Xuan, I want to remind you that Xiaolou is my righteous daughter. If you are rude, don't blame me for not giving you face!"
Zuo Xuan accepted the anger on his face and said quietly: "Wang Hao, don't worry, Miss Jiang, please."
The two walked out of the inner room and crossed the corridor side by side, only to see a young man kneeling on the ground, his face pale, and all his brocade clothes wet with mud and water.
Zuo Xuan's face was dark, and he said to the servant girl beside him: "Where is the stick?"
The handmaid tremblingly handed out a cane: "You calm down, son he..."
"I'm talking about a stick! Are you deaf?"
The maid was really helpless, so she replaced the cane with a thumb-thick stick. Jiang Xiaolou looked at the scene in front of him, raising his brows, with a smile on his face.
Zuo Xuan took the stick and walked in front of Zuo Hua. Zuo Hua's face was pale and his eyes were horrified: "Sister, what are you doing?"
Zuo Xuan sneered and banged, hitting Zuo Hua's hip with a stick. Zuo Hua was caught off guard, and he squatted on the ground instantly. Zuo Xuan did it himself, hitting Zuo Hua for 20 or 30 times in a row, and beat Zuo Hua to a faceless face, begging bitterly: "Sister, I know I was wrong, I really know it, I will never dare to do it again! Miss Jiang! , Please beg for me! Princess Ann is my stepmother, she said what she told me to do, I can only do it. Please, please say something nice for me!"
Jiang Xiaolou blinked and finally said, "Can I ask what this is doing?"
Zuo Xuan smashed Zuo Hua's waist with a stick mercilessly, hitting him almost to vomit blood, and then lost the stick, patted the dust on his hands, and smiled faintly: "This took advantage of me. Paying attention to doing a lot of evil deeds simply lost the face of Zuo family. If you let your father know, I'm afraid not to break his legs! Miss Jiang, this is an apology to you, please accept it."
Zuo Xuan was not a bluff, Zuo Hua really couldn't get up on the ground, begging earnestly on his face. Jiang Xiaolou's expression was indifferent: "Why, son Zuo came to propose marriage, did your father not know it?"
Zuo Hua hurriedly said: "Actually... it was because I had an actor outside and was known by Princess An. She yelled to sue my father. It was really impossible. I only agreed to the princess. I really regretted it later. I’m a good person, caught in this kind of thing, the princess blames me, my sister blames me, and makes people inhuman, ghosts and ghosts! Doing this kind of deceitful deception, once it spreads out, left My family’s innocence and reputation are absolutely ruined, and my father will never save my life! It’s all my fault, Miss Jiang, please let me go, please be merciful and forgive me!
He said. One side really knocked his head under the steps. He was originally considered a handsome son, but he was covered in mud, tears and tears, and he was really embarrassed.
Jiang Xiaolou's voice was cold and cold: "Princess Zuo, I knew today, why bother back then."
Zuo Xuan's eyes were extremely mocking, his voice was like ice rain, and his words were like knives: "Fortunately, you have been reading poems and books since you were a child, but you were used as a gun by others for a little thing. Who is Princess An, just call your mother-in-law? Become a son of someone else? Doing things is not for the long-term, let alone for the sake of parents, you have lost the glory of the Academy! Miss Jiang, I put people here today, it is up to you to beat or scold, but Please keep him alive, and I have to take him back to work with his father."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaolou looked at Zuo Hua with a smile on his face. Zuo Hua was stared at by that look, and his heart stopped for a while, and his whole body was frozen.
Jiang Xiaolou squinted his eyes and stared at Zuo Hua, who was crying bitterly.
Zuo Hua snorted with tears in his eyes and regretted it to the extreme: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I really know it was wrong. Miss Jiang, you have a lot of adults, please spare me this time!"
Jiang Xiaolou let out a sigh of relief, and said with a pleasant tone: "The matter is over, I have nothing to say, but I hope Young Master Zuo can learn the lesson this time, so don't repeat the same mistake."
Zuo Hua was ecstatic: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Get off." Although Zuo Xuan didn't expect Jiang Xiaolou to let Zuo Hua off so easily, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. After all, it was her own brother, why would she be willing to see him beaten on the spot.
Zuo Hua tried to stand up, but he knelt down again with his legs bent, his entire face turned from white to green, and the big beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down, and he couldn't even straighten his waist. It can be seen that he was hit very hard just now. With a wave of Zuo Xuan's hand, the two maidservants stepped forward, and left with Zuo Hua. He looked back at his sister from time to time, and didn't forget to remind: "Sister, this can end here! Miss Jiang has forgiven me, so don't go to my father to file a complaint!"
"Hurry up!" Zuo Xuan anger rose from his heart, Liu eyebrows raised.
Zuo Xuan had a pair of bright eyes, which became brighter and brighter when he was angry. In fact, she was not born beautiful and invincible, but she had a special temperament, and when she stopped there, she was scorching and gorgeous, which people could not ignore.
Seeing this scene clearly, Jiang Xiaolou's eyes were deep, his face was as white as cold jade, with a faintly moist glow: "Since you have finished your punishment, please leave now."
Zuo Xuan stopped Jiang Xiaolou and said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were as dark as lacquer, shimmering with moving sheen: "There seems to be nothing to say between me and the Princess of Anhua County."
"Princess of Anhua County?" Zuo Xuan's smile passed a very light and superficial sarcasm, "This is really an ironic title."
If Jiang Xiaolou didn't hear it, Zuo Xuan just smiled and reminded in a low voice: "The murderers are not only Shun Fei and He Liansheng, but there are even more powerful forces behind them. You are alone and lonely. Be careful. "After saying this, she turned to leave.
Jiang Xiaolou had a heartache, and said quickly: "Please wait!"
Zuo Xuan's back came to a halt, turned around and looked at her quietly.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled: "The princess of the county is really weird, why should you say these things to me suddenly, you are not afraid that He Liansheng will know that it will embarrass you?"
"He? Since I got married, he probably didn't even see what I looked like." Zuo Xuan sneered, his sharp eyes shot strong hatred.
What Xie Liancheng said suddenly flashed in Jiang Xiaolou's mind, with a slight smile on his face: "After all, he is your husband. Isn't it okay not to be on his side?"
Zuo Xuan gently uncovered his high collar, revealing the white skin inside, but Jiang Xiaolou was slightly startled.
It turned out that there was a cyst-like tumor under the tall collar. Although it was small, it was because the other's neck was slender and white, and it looked particularly horrible. Looking from a distance, it seemed that Zuo Xuan had a face on his neck. Like, shocking.
"you--"
"This is natural, and it has been around my neck since I was born. But he said he didn't care. This tumor is nothing at all. I believed it to be true and married him happily. Later I discovered that the Anhua County King was just hope. To marry the daughter of the scholar's mansion, what he needs is the support of my father in the court. In addition, he doesn't care if I am a monster or a devil. Especially when he has a firm foothold in the court with his father. After others will never despise him as a bastard, he doesn’t need to entertain me any more. In fact, I don’t care about it. After all, I am born this way. Others hate me or hate me, as long as he can keep a county. The princess should be decent, I can completely ignore it. But how does he treat me?"
He Liansheng has two very beautiful maidservants, one gentle and the other delicate, each has its own merits, and the pamper is very pampered. On the first day Zuo Xuan entered the door, He Liansheng barely stayed in her room for half a night, and the remaining half a night was quietly spent with the two maids. How can we accept such humiliation to Zuo Xuan, she is a university after all The prostitutes of the Shifu had always been arrogant, but it was because of her congenital illness that she barely tolerated it. Later, she became pregnant twice in succession, but all had miscarriages due to unknown reasons. The incident was eventually found to be related to the two maids. Zuo Xuan's heart became angry, and Shengsheng shot one of them to death, waiting to deal with the other, but He Liansheng rushed back from the outside, he just saved them.
No matter how beautiful and gentle a concubine is, his position as a wife cannot be shaken. Just like the empress empress nowadays, although her only son has died unfortunately, and has not done anything for many years, her majesty's beloved concubine is like a cloud, but she has given her great respect. Even if there was an abolished Zhezi in the Imperial History, it was beaten to death by the emperor's eighty board. The same is true of the Zuo University Scholar's House. Her uncle loves the young concubine Zhao very much, alienates his wife Wang, and even dislikes his wife who is old and odious. Wang was extremely resented by the humiliation and threatened to commit suicide on a hunger strike. Not only that, the two cousins ​​she gave birth also followed on a hunger strike. Grandfather was shocked when he heard the words, he even took a club and chased his uncle around the garden, and beat his uncle until he was dying before letting go. In order to beg Aunt Wang's forgiveness, my uncle knelt in front of the hall for three days and three nights to mourn the old love. In the end, the husband and wife reconciled and the concubine was sold.
Even so, men naturally love young and beautiful women. Even in a rigorous family, there is always an endless stream of spoiling their wives, but Zuo Xuan never expected that after King Qing set a good example, his son would follow suit. There are so many ways to learn, even if there are too many, but no less. He Liansheng is cunning and thoughtful on weekdays, but loves wine alone. He is very vigilant, and he always hides and drinks for fear of making mistakes after drinking. Zuo Xuan kept spying on him after discovering this secret, and only then heard him talk to his concubine several times about getting rid of himself and then marrying another beautiful woman.
"I am indeed ugly and abominable, but he used the eight-carriage sedan chair to carry me into the door, and he promised me that he would never let me down in this life and this life. When I was of no use value, he immediately threw me aside as a rag That’s all, it’s a big deal and leaving home, even if you shave your hair and become a nanny, it’s better than annoying people’s eyes! For the sake of his reputation, he created an illusion of love between husband and wife outside, and treats me very respectfully and ignorantly. I think I am paranoid, narrow-minded, and cannot tolerate my husband’s concubine, but I don’t know that he has secretly made countless ideas about killing me and marrying me! If it weren’t for my powerful Zuo Jiashang, I’m afraid I would have become a withered bone. !" Zuo Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes full of resentment.
This kind of resentment can't be pretended, and it is simply a desire to cut flesh and drink blood, skin cramps.
Jiang Xiaolou understood very well that He Liansheng would never agree to Zuo Xuan's reconciliation. One had no reputation, and the other would end his career. He hated Zuo Xuan’s disability, but he couldn’t divorce his wife. He contemptuously humiliated his wife and acted like a beloved wife. This is a hundred times more hateful than the blinded and deceived King Qing .
"I don't care how my husband is bothered, at least he wants to value my righteous wife, but since I got married, he has done everything possible to indulge the two and try to me off. Not only that... My two children are also lost because of him. Do you know why? The confessed that the great Anwar County King was worried that I would give birth to the same deformed child, which would affect his reputation, so he instigated them to do it. After losing these two children one after another, the doctor has already Assert, I will never have my own blood in my life!"
Jiang Xiaolou didn't expect that there were countless insights, and he was silent for a while.
Zuo Xuan smiled coldly and said: "I know you won't believe me, because no one believes everything I say, including Princess Qing. Each of you feels that I am taking advantage of the contradiction with He Liansheng to show good— —But let me tell you, Zuo Xuan can do all evil, but he will never make fun of his children, let alone curse him for cutting off his children and grandchildren!"
Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: "You want to cooperate with me?"
"Not bad."
"purpose?"
"I want He Liansheng to bury my two innocent children."
Jiang Xiaolou opened his lips, his lips curled slightly: "Wife wants to kill her husband, but she is really amazing."
Zuo Xuan heard what Jiang Xiaolou said, his eyes filled with a bit of haze, and he said coldly: "The status of the first wife is not guaranteed, the prostitute is killed innocent, the husband ignores the wife, and the prostitute does not respect the aunt. The family relationship has long been messed up. They're crazy, and I'm crazy too. This family is all crazy! If that's the case, how strange is it that a crazy person wants to kill his husband? If you can't do it, it's the same if I do it myself!"
At the critical moment, Jiang Xiaolou stared and smiled: "Who said I shouldn't?"
Zuo Xuan stared at her with a smile in his eyes: "Without a word, it's hard to chase a horse."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiaodie walked quickly to Jiang Xiaolou's side and whispered: "Miss, the old princess wants to see you by name."
"see me?"
Fluttershy nodded and said, "Miss, I told you to go now and don't delay."
Zuo Xuan raised his brows, his eyes gleaming: "Look, please find the door."
She spoke with a spear and a stick, but for some reason she was a little inexplicably kind. Jiang Xiaolou smiled: "Xiaodie, please go to my room for a while, I will go back."
The old princess leaned on the main seat, wearing a jade-inlaid wiping forehead, wearing jasper hairpins in the bun, a beige gown, and the collar embroidered with gold silk tuples of longevity, her face looked kind, between her brows There is no lack of faint momentum. The maidservant stood with her hands down, holding her breath, and the whole house was silent.
"Miss Jiang, do you know the purpose of looking for you?" She spoke flatly.
"I listen with great respect."
"The Palace of Qing Dynasty has always been calm. I don't like noisy sounds and right and wrong. Do you understand?" The old princess's eyes were already a little muddy, and they looked deeper and deeper.
Jiang Xiaolou said leisurely: "What you said is that no one in this world can do nothing, there must always be wind-to make waves."
It was a pair of sharp mouths. The old princess' eyes deepened, the red sandalwood beads in her hand turned around, gently wrapped around her wrists, and then smiled: "I know you are a smart girl. Qing Palace is not suitable for people like you to stay. , You leave here today."
The fragrance in the room was faint, and the white smoke curled up from the hollow ancient tripod, completely obscuring the serious expression of the old princess.
Jiang Xiaolou's voice was particularly soft: "Forgive me."
"What a daring girl!" The old princess's face sank, her figure suddenly sat upright, and she was about to sternly scold, but heard Jiang Xiaolou smile: "The empress has already made her will, and she will call me into the palace five days later. I'm leaving now, the palace is afraid it will be difficult to explain."
The old princess was startled for a while, then sneered: "Are you threatening me?"
Jiang Xiaolou's voice turned softly to listen, but he was always calm: "Listening when you are talking is an explanation, while listening to the other is a sophistry. It depends on the mind of the obedient person. Understanding other people's words as kindness is the heart. Be kind. If you misunderstand it completely, it proves that you are ugly. I believe that the old princess will not turn the other way around with such kindness and fairness."
The old princess's heart trembled: "Good mouth, with this sharp mouth, why worry all over the world? The princess is determined to fight against me this time..."
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes did not blink, and his eyes were soft as water: "The empress's decree has been laid down. No one can change it. It is destined to disappoint you. I wonder if you have any other orders?"
The old princess looked at her for a long time and was so angry that she couldn't speak. It took a long time before she snorted: "I have nothing to say, you go."
Jiang Xiaolou faintly gave a salute and was about to withdraw, but suddenly heard the old princess suddenly say: "The lake in front of this door looks very shallow, but many people have drowned."
"Did I tell you that I can sip water, no matter how deep the water is, no matter how big the waves are, I am not afraid."
The old princess was stunned, and immediately sneered: "Huh! You are really young and energetic, I hope you can say something like this by then!" However, after Jiang Xiaolou left, she sighed: "Paper is after all You can't contain the fire, it's about to pierce the sky, sin--"
Returning to his room, Jiang Xiaolou repeated everything to the left. Zuo Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then he stroked his palm and laughed: "Okay, bolder than me! I thought I was arrogant enough, but unexpectedly your mouth Three points worse than me, so angry that the old woman can't speak the best! She is always high on the day, yin and yang weird, always trying to stumble others, for fear that others will not respect her status. Respect is earned by herself. , It was not given by others."
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Xiaolou slowly said,
I don’t look at it this way. The old princess is a severe warning on the surface, but in fact she is reminding me that Concubine Shun and Anhua are just a pretense. People cover up—has Xue Ning ever been in contact with people outside during the time when Xue Ning was at the mansion?"
Hearing this, Zuo Xuan thought carefully for a moment before saying: "After the princess recognizes her daughter, she hopes she can integrate into the noble circle. She often takes her to visit relatives and friends, not to mention, she will also attend important banquets."
Jiang Xiaolou nodded: "In this case, I know where to start."
Zuo Xuan looked at her suspiciously, but Jiang Xiaolou pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaolou left the house and found Xie Liancheng's first sentence: "Please check for me, who is the son who used to be good with Xue Ning?"
Xie Liancheng was taken aback: "What did you say?"
Jiang Xiaolou looked extremely serious: "I thought about it carefully, and Xue Ning didn't offend anyone from the beginning to the end. Even Concubine Shun and the King of Anhua didn't need to commit such a murderous hand. This person must be with Xue Ning. There is an extraordinary entanglement, or an eagerness to conceal a certain truth-thinking about it, Xue Ning once had a dewy marriage with someone, most likely..." She said this, but her voice suddenly stopped.
Xie Liancheng didn't have a hint of contempt on his face, he said indifferently: "Everyone has a past, and so does Miss Li. You don't have to worry about it, I won't look down on her, just keep talking."
Jiang Xiaolou took a deep breath, and then continued: "When she was in the Guose Tianxiang Tower, she once fell in love with someone. That person redeemed her for her and bought a house to put her in. It's a pity that the girl The host came to the door and sent someone to make a fuss. She had no choice but to return to the Guose Tianxiang Tower. She only mentioned a few vaguely before, but it was not clear. I was afraid of touching her old wounds and didn’t ask much. It’s a businessman. The son’s business is very large. There are many restaurants and restaurants under his banner. This kind of place is the most informed by the gossip. In fact, I am not good. If I didn’t burn the Guose Tianxianglou in the first place, it would not I can't find any clues now—"
Jiang Xiaolou did things too hard, leaving no room for them. Those people walked and scattered. Where to find people now, you can only start from Xie Liancheng, hoping that he can find some clues.
Xie Liancheng smiled softly, politely: "No, you missed a person, a person next to you."
Jiang Xiaolou was startled, his mind was flashing, and he turned his head to look at Xiaodie. Xiaodie was taken aback, her eyes widened, and she pointed at herself: "Me?"
Xie Liancheng's voice was very gentle: "Girl Xiaodie, please remember carefully, do you remember the origin of that young man?"
Xiaodie hesitated: "This... things have passed for so long. At that time, I was not a girl who was waiting for the ladies, but was assigned to do some rough work. I heard that the young man came to Guose Tianxiang Building. At that time, every time he came quietly and walked quietly. Everyone knew that he was outrageous and spent a lot of money, but did not know what his origin was. Later, he completely covered Miss Li and took her away from the country. Lou, at that time everyone in the building was saying that Miss Li had good luck, but it didn’t take long to hear that the eldest woman came home, so Jin Yu went to pick up the young lady. These young ladies knew it, but I really didn’t know the others. understood……"
Jiang Xiaolou immediately asked: "Your appearance, name, don't you remember it at all?"
Xiaodie shook her head dejectedly, Xie Liancheng's unhurried voice gave people a sense of stability: "Huai'an, take pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Huai'an immediately complied. Xie Liancheng's paved rice paper looked at Xiaodie and said, "Think about it carefully, maybe you have any clues. The young man came into the building. He was always very outspoken and rewarded him a lot. The real name is hidden, but you must have a title—"
"I……"
"Ok?"
"I should remember, it seems to be called—"
"Yes!" Xiaodie snapped his head and jumped up and said, "He said his last name is Fox."
This was a fake surname, but Xie Liancheng carefully wrote down the character fox: "So you call him Master Fox"
"They call him Fox II."
"Second Young Master Fox?"
"Yes, it is the second son of Fox!"
Jiang Xiaolou's voice was cold: "Even the name is fake, it's ridiculous!"
A very complicated expression appeared on Xie Liancheng's face, the pen in his hand stopped in the air, and the ink dripped down with a clatter, and lightly fainted on the rice paper. For a long time, he slowly said, "In this world, many people have to hide their true identity." After finishing speaking, he looked down lightly and wrote a word, stroke by stroke, but he was too serious. Minute.
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes flashed: "With such a fake name, how do I find it?"
Xie Liancheng's lips chuckled with a smile: "A person's temperament is difficult to change. If he has walked through other brothels, or has had a good time with others, then this matter is not difficult to investigate."
Seeing him so sure, Jiang Xiaolou was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Really?"
Xie Liancheng's voice was calm: "I promise, you come in five days, and I will tell you the true identity of this young man."
Jiang Xiaolou was delighted for a while, then carefully lowered his head, staring at the word "Fox Er", as if lost in thought. Concubine Shun has been standing still for so many years and has never attempted to replace the princess, but recently she has moved repeatedly, jumping up and down, as if eager to pull the princess off the horse. All this is too unusual, too weird, and it can only show that these people are desperately diverting their attention.
The second son of Fox, Concubine Shun, King Anhua, Jing Zhaoyin, could it be that they were all covering up for this person...
Xiaodie was still thinking and meditation there, but she couldn't remember what that person looked like. He scratched his head and made Huai'an amused. He laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, my son said that if he can find it, he will never break his words!"
