"What the heck is going on?" Seeing that Jiang Yashuang and the others were far away from them and couldn't hear them talking, Qiu Jinglan's face suddenly turned gloomy, "It's Her Majesty's birthday today, but you unexpectedly took these people to my place. Do you want to make trouble?"
Qiu Yelan replied instantly, "Brother, let's not talk about these now. We are in great trouble!"
Qiu Jinglan wasn't surprised when he heard the words. He sneered, "Even if there was no trouble, now you've made trouble by bringing these people here with you."
"That's true." Qiu Yelan was at a loss for words for a moment, but then said, "I misunderstood Princess Yongfu's words. I thought that Empress Jiang knew your birth and wanted to take advantage of it. As I was worried about your safety, I ran out of the palace directly. But these people insisted on following me. I was too worried at that time to stop them. After getting here and seeing what happened, I reali
She only ran for a couple of feet and someone who sensed that something was wrong already started coming this way.But they were all covered up by the poisonous fog, so when the back-up came, they couldn't surround the assassins and kill them. They could only go into the fog to search.After a while, Jiang Yashuang whose one sleeve was covered by blood supported the dying Qiu Jinglan out of the fog that was starting to get thinner.Qiu Yelan, who was waiting anxiously felt like all her blood had rushed into her head when she saw the two bolts in Qiu Jinglan's chest.She didn't know how she walked to them and helped Jiang Yashuang hold Qiu Jinglan. She could only hear her voice asking, "Will he die?"She was surprised by how steady her voice was. It was calm and collected.Jiang Yashuang looked at her and frowned lightly. He thought for a while and said, "I don't know. Only the doctor can...""
When she woke up, it was already evening. She realized that she was on Ruan Ciyi's bed when she saw the color of the bed canopy.Ruan Ciyi fell asleep with her clothes on by the bed. There were tears at the corner of her eyes.Seeing this, Qiu Yelan was surprised. She pushed Ruan Ciyi to wake her up regardless of how tired Ruan Ciyi was, "Ciyi, how is my brother?"Ruan Ciyi said in a hurry without opening her eyes, "The arrows have been taken out. Now he is having a fever…General Jiang is taking care of him in person. And the Jiang Family has sent people over to guard us."Knowing what Qiu Yelan was worried about, Ruan Ciyi explained the situation within one breath. And then she asked with care, "How are you feeling right now? Dr. Qi said that you and Miss Ou both inhaled toxic smog. Although it was not lethal, you guys' health…"Qiu Yelan still felt a little dizzy. But she didn't have time to care. She interrupted, "M
The maids hesitantly closed the door. In the meantime, Qiu Yelan shook off Ou Qinglan's hand and said, "Miss Ou, my brother is not well now. Could you please go back first? I am not in a mood entertaining you!"If Qiu Jinglan were fine now, she wouldn't have minded having a few words with this lady who was determined to be her sister-in-law. But now that Qiu Jinglan was still in danger, Qiu Yelan felt upset. She was really not in a mood to talk with her!Ou Qinglan realized her displeasure and said, "I just... just want to know how is your brother... no offense!""He's not well." Qiu Yelan emphasized again. "We're all worried about him right now, so we really are not in the mood for entertainment.""What's going on with him now?" Ou Qinglan wanted to know more. "I was so stressed out yesterday. I actually fainted! I have been at home when I woke up... I just heard that your brother was badly hurt! I... I've worried about all night.
"How dare he comes?" Qiu Yelan was furious when she heard that.Although it was unlikely that the two assassins were from Kuang Qingwu, who had just arrived in Jing City, it was absolutely provocation that he, a member of the Empress Dowager's party who had a conflict with her not long ago, came to visit at this time.Hearing this, Ruan Ciyi asked in astonishment, "Did he do it?""No." Qiu Yelan knew that her cousin had thought too much, but she couldn't help her. She didn't want to put any more pressure on her, so she said, "I had a quarrel with him not long ago. This man had no contact with our family. Why is he coming now? I guess he's up to no good!"Ruan Ciyi sighed, "Things are changing. He should have visited us first when he came to Jing City.""He's an ungrateful and vicious person. I'd rather he didn't come." Qiu Yelan knew that Ruan Ciyi had seen Kuang Shihan at home when she was a child. When she heard of t
After sending away Kuang Qingwu and Mr. Leshan, Qiu Yelan gave the jade box to Qiuran and asked her to put it in a storeroom that she rarely used. Then she returned to her room and took a nap. But soon she was told that Jiang Yashuang was here again. She was shocked suddenly, "Did anything go wrong?""No." Su He shook her head, "It seems that he heard that Marquess Zhang's son had been here, so he came over to ask about it."Qiu Yelan felt warm in her heart and hurriedly got up, complaining, "Even so, he could've just sent someone to come. Why does he come in person?"Su He saw that there was no one in the inner room, so she boldly teased Yelan, "Perhaps he won't feel tired anymore if he sees you.""Really?" Qiu Yelan patted on Su He's forehead, "Whitey's supper and midnight snack.""I won't do it again." Su He suddenly got a look of regret and said sorrowfully.The two went out and hurried to the front ha
A few days later, Qiu Hongzhi, the eldest son of Qiu Mengmin, was instructed by his father to invite Deng Yi to the Prince's Mansion of Xihe, "I heard that you are going to take part in the provincial examination this fall as I am, so I took the liberty to invite you here to help each other with the study. We can be more confident later."Deng Yi was actually willing to leave the Prince's Mansion of Guangyang, so he was not displeased with his invitation. He nodded, "I agree. But I'm not good at it. I hope you won't laugh at me.""You're being too humble. Who doesn't know that you're talented? If it's not for the first place, I'm afraid you might have passed the examination two years ago." Qiu Hongzhi thought his father wanted him to get close to his future brother-in-law, so he was very relaxed and invited him to enter his study with a big smile.The two were all Xiucais who were preparing for the examination. Although they would be tested at
Qiu Jinglan grunted, "That's the one.""It is the Kuang Family's stuff. Why do you ask me to take it meticulously?" asked Qiu Jinglan in a confusion."It was sent by Kuang Qingwu, but it's not something from the Kuang Family." Qiu Jinglan shook his head and looked indifferently, "It's from our father!"Qiu Jinglan was startled."The same goes for the medicine inside. I used one this time and there's one more, you bring it with you just in case," Qiu Jinglan instructed."Did Kuang Shihan grab it from our father?" Qiu Yelan immediately guessed what's going on.Qiu Jinglan avoided answering, only saying, "I asked someone to make a small golden lock for the top of this jade box, so it's perfect to wear a necklace and hang it up.""And don't tell me again!" Qiu Yelan complained, "I have several necklaces in the makeup box. I'll go and find one later.""Young master, it's time to have t
"What are you doing here?" After Feng Rugui left, Jiang Yashuang pushed open the door of the cell and went in. Deng Yi, who was sitting against the wall, asked mockingly, "Aren't you satisfied with my divorce? Must you kill me?"Jiang Yashuang looked at him with the only lamp in the cell. Although in chains, he was neatly dressed. He could not have suffered much since he had been taken to prison.That made sense. Even if Feng Rugui attached himself to the Jiang Family, being mayor of the capital, he dared not offend Empress Dowager Gu. He had no grudge against Deng Yi, so there was no need for him to be tough on him without clear instructions of the Jiang Family."If you didn't let Lanlan join us, how could this happen?" Although the "extra treat" for the Empress Dowager Party was only a pair of shackles, Deng Yi, who had worn the heavy shackles for a day and night, was so weak that he could hardly sit without leaning against the wall.
