After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 117 Chapter 117
Shen Qingci stretched out his fingers and tapped on the desk.

Looking at Lin Yunzheng opposite, Shen Qingci said thoughtfully: "What kind of person do you think the queen is?"

"Aunt Queen?"

Lin Yunzheng frowned and thought about it, and said seriously: "There is a knife hidden in the smile, and a needle hidden in the cotton."

Shen Qingci guessed the same.

How could it be easy to sit in the middle palace for so many years.

Even with her, at least on the surface, it was impeccable.

Shen Qingci could guess how well-rounded the master behind her was by looking at how the high mama treated people.

Since this marriage is decided by her, if she withdraws, she has to find a way.

But Shen Qingci really had no contact with her, and didn't know much about her, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

But fortunately, according to Madam Gao, she will be picked up to live in the palace after a while, and it will be up to her to adjust accordingly.

And the third prince.

Shen Qingci didn't know what he was thinking.

"When will your cousin and third cousin leave?"

She wanted to meet the third prince.

Lin Yunzheng raised his hand and said three: "It is said that it will be three days later, but judging from my cousin's tone at the time, it is very likely that it will be earlier."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci sighed.

In just these two days, she still has to prepare to leave Beijing, so she might not have the chance to see her.

Shen Qingci was a little helpless, "Is there anything else?"

This is an eviction order.

Lin Yunzheng scratched the back of his head, "Can't I just sit for a while longer? I rushed over here to send you news, and I didn't even have a sip of hot tea."

After saying that, he thought of Chun Ya, "By the way, where is Chun Ya? Did you find the tassel?"

Shen Qingci waved his hand: "Don't mention it, it's a long story."

About the tassel, Lin Yue was right to remind her.

Since Tassel has something to do with the Dongyi tribe and the state of Chu, let Lin Yunzheng and Qin Jiaojiao try to avoid it if they can.

At this time, the faint voice of someone speaking came from outside.

Shen Qingci kicked Lin Yunzheng's clothes: "If you have something to talk about, go away if you have nothing to do."

Lin Yunzheng jumped up from his seat in a jiffy, walked to the window sill and glanced out quietly, before saying, "There's nothing else to do, oh, by the way, are you going to the Qin family's birthday banquet?"

Shen Qingci shook his head: "The foster mother in the palace is here, I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

With that time, she went to see Liusu and Zhang's mother.

Hearing this, Lin Yunzheng's eyes flickered with obvious disappointment: "I still think the three of us can get together well."

After saying that, he comforted himself again: "But anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future, so I'll go to my third cousin first."

Shen Qingci's divorce is a top priority.

Shen Qingci nodded and urged: "Go!"

Lin Yunzheng didn't delay any longer, he jumped out of the window and jumped onto the courtyard wall again, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

He walked on the front foot, and Zhao Guanshi led the people over on the back foot.

Shen Qingci gave a few simple instructions and let them take care of it.

She wanted to find a reason to leave the house, but unexpectedly, Jiang Yuzhi came to her.

Shen Qingci didn't want to run into Jiang Yuzhi so early.

Ordinarily, she should also dislike herself, but she still took the initiative to come to her, there must be some other purpose.

But on the bright side, the two are about to become sisters-in-law, and they cannot see each other.

Shen Qingci was invited over.

Contrary to her expectations, this time Jiang Yuzhi was not accompanied by Qingshui Qingrong, but Qiuyue, the maid who used to be beside Jiang Yuwan.

Last time at the second uncle's birthday banquet, she happened to be staggered with Jiang Yuzhi.

Later, she and Lin Yunzheng hid under the wall, and only heard Jiang Yuzhi's voice, but saw no one.

After all, the last time I saw her face was at Xuesongpo.

In less than a month, she had lost a lot of weight.

There is obvious fatigue between the brows.

"A word."

As soon as they met each other, Jiang Yuzhi already had a very natural and gentle smile on his face: "Come here rashly, didn't I bother you?"

Shen Qingci shook his head, and said politely: "Why, I hope that sister Jiang will come before it's too late."

"What's wrong with my sister recently? Why does she look more haggard than a patient like me?"

Jiang Yuzhi smiled, and took Shen Qingci's hand and sat aside, "A few days ago, I caught a cold and was ill all the time, so I dare not come to you. You are weak and weak, so I am afraid that it will bring you sickness."

"No, that's all right, I'll come to you."

She smiled softly and amiably, treating Shen Qingci like her own sister.

It's hard to connect the person who said behind Xuesongpo's back that day that Shen Qingci was unworthy and stabbed Shen Qingci in the back.

At this point, it is not difficult for Shen Qingci to understand why he has been deceived by her for so many years.

There was a coldness in his heart, but on his face, Shen Qingci said with a smile: "My sister still thinks about me."

Jiang Yuzhi turned his head and glanced at the servants who were busy cleaning, frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong here, sister?"

This is the second time someone has asked this question.

Shen Qingci shrugged, smiled wryly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a thief in the house."

Even so, her expression and the smashed things did not look like a thief.

Shen Qingci put on an appearance of being wronged but still pretending to be strong.

Jiang Yuzhi was not a fool, of course it was easy to see that he might have been bullied by the Shen family as rumored.

She suppressed the smile in her heart and pretended to be nervous: "Is my sister okay?"

Shen Qingci smiled: "I'm fine, what can I do?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingci lowered his eyes, looking unwilling to say more.

In fact, she said it deliberately for Jiang Yuzhi, and also for Zhang Guanshi and others who were watching from the side.

If Jiang Yuzhi's mouth is used to release the fact that she was bullied in the Shen family, it will definitely put more pressure on the Shen family.

In the future, when the marriage is divorced, the Shen family will not dare to act too blatantly.

As for Guanshi Zhang, Shen Qingci believed that the conversation between her and Jiang Yuzhi would reach Mrs. Shen in less than half a cup of tea.

She also used this as a reminder to them.

Seeing Jiang Yuzhi's pensive look, Shen Qingci smiled and changed the topic: "I was really in poor health last time, and I couldn't hold on before I saw my sister. You won't blame me, will you?"

Jiang Yuzhi shook her head: "Why, my sister's body is the most important, we can see each other anytime."

Shen Qingci poured tea for Jiang Yuzhi himself, "By the way, speaking of it, I couldn't place Mrs. Jiang last time. I heard that she was ill, but she is better now?"

When saying this, Shen Qingci has been paying attention to Jiang Yuzhi's expression.

Jiang Yuzhi took the tea, but the smile on his face faded a little.

"Hey, speaking of it, since my eldest sister left, my grandmother's health has not been very good. This time..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuzhi paused slightly: "I don't know when my uncle will return to Beijing. The doctors said that she might not be able to hold on."

Shen Qingci: "..."

At that moment, there was a sharp pain at the tip of her heart.

Grandma is not in good health. In previous years, after winter, she would always get sick several times.

In addition, because of her death this year... so my grandmother couldn't hold on, and she was sick for a long time.

She hadn't thought about it before.

Seeing Jiang Yuzhi's expression now, Shen Qingci's eyes felt a little sore for just a moment.

Jiang Yuzhi sighed again and again, and finally shook his head and said: "I also said that they are all my sisters, so I won't hide it from you. Originally, the wedding date between me and the Second Highness was different from yours. If something really happened ..."

If this marriage is not brought forward, it must be postponed.

According to the current customs of Daqi, if there is a funeral in the family, one must either get married before the first seven days, or have to observe mourning for three years.

Jiang Yuzhi married the prince, so it is impossible for him to keep his filial piety for three years.

So, once Mrs. Jiang is gone, she will definitely get married immediately.

Or, before knowing that there is no way to recover, the marriage will be held and the funeral will be staggered.

Shen Qingci's mind is full of grandma at the moment.

On the surface, she said perfunctorily: "Sister, don't worry too much, Mrs. Jiang is a lucky person with his own destiny, and he will turn bad luck into good luck."

Jiang Yuzhi pulled out a wry smile: "I hope so."

The two talked for a while.

Before Jiang Yuzhi left, he revealed the purpose of his trip.

"By the way, sister, I've been confinement at home to recuperate these days, and I'm so bored. The weather will be fine in a few days, and I want to go out for a walk, so I invited a few little sisters to swim in the lake. Would my sister accompany me? go?"

Jiang Yuzhi didn't like him in the first place, and even endured his disgust to invite him, Shen Qingci knew that there must be something wrong with it even if he was a fool.

So, without even thinking about it, she shook her head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, I have to learn the rules in the mansion for the next few days, and Imperial Doctor Zhou also told me to keep it at home and avoid getting sick from getting sick. "

However, Jiang Yuzhi was unwilling to give up.

She held Shen Qingci's hand, and said earnestly: "I am also learning the rules, but it is precisely because of the tight schedule and the high pressure that I want to go out for a walk."

"At that time, you should wrap it up more tightly, and I have already wrapped up the painting boat, we can't stand a little wind in it."

Shen Qingci moved his lips and wanted to say something, but he heard footsteps outside the courtyard.

It was the foster mother from the palace, Mother Li.

"Slave maid please greet the two girls."

After some greetings, Nanny Li looked at Shen Qingci with a smile: "Girl should also go out for a walk, to get some air, her spirit will recover, and her body will follow suit."

"As for the rules, there is no rush."

For a moment, Shen Qingci couldn't see what Li Nanny meant.

Since she was sent by the empress, she was supposed to stand on the empress's side, but now she helped Jiang Yuzhi speak.

This boat trip is even more impossible to go.

But being stared at by these people, and having more time to deal with Madam Li in the future, it is not easy to offend him for the time being.

Shen Qingci calmed down and said: "That's fine, what Li Nanny said is reasonable, but when the time comes, it depends on whether I can get out with my body."

She was giving Nanny Li and Jiang Yuzhi face.

As for whether to go or not, it depends on her ability to pretend to be sick.

Jiang Yuzhi smiled: "Then sister, I will wait for my sister when the time comes."

After sending Jiang Yuzhi away, he dealt with Nanny Li again, and it was getting late.

Even if Shen Qingci wanted to find an excuse to leave the house, it was too late.

However, Qin Jiaojiao's people took care of Zhang's mother, and Liu Su was taken care of by Qiuniang and Lu Kui.

What she is most worried about now is her grandmother.

She originally thought that her grandmother was only bedridden with the cold as in previous years.

In addition, the Jiang family had been stared at by Dali Temple before, and she was afraid that she would bump into Lin Yue again, so she never visited her grandmother.

Originally, I was thinking of waiting for Dad to return to Beijing before making arrangements.

Now, no matter how true or false Jiang Yuzhi's words were, she couldn't wait any longer.

It would be great if it was fake, even if there were traps waiting for her, at worst she would see the trick and spend a lot of energy to deal with it.

But if it is true...

If she didn't go to visit, she would definitely leave a lifetime of regrets.

Shen Qingci is an activist.

After the decision was made, when night fell, she changed into the night uniform she had hidden away without even disturbing Chunya, and slipped out of Shen's house quietly.

After hard training these days, her lightness kung fu has reached a new level.

Although he may not be Qingyu's opponent yet, Lin Yue is busy preparing to leave Beijing at this time, so he certainly can't take care of her.

Moreover, since she went to the Lin family to look for him in person, he didn't arrest her immediately, and an indescribable tacit understanding was reached between the two of them.

Shen Qingci thought, either because he kept the tassels still useful, knowing that the tassels were in his hands, she would put the handle on him, and he was not in a hurry.

Or, he may have believed her previous rhetoric, knowing that she was involved in the case he wanted to investigate only to investigate Jiang Yuwan's death.

No matter which one it is, even if he met at Jiang's house... He probably won't pester her endlessly like before, right?
There are still a few streets between Shen's house and Jiang's house.

The night wind was bleak, Shen Qingci dressed a little thinly for the sake of cheapness.

She didn't take the main street, but climbed over the wall and transferred ownership all the way, took a small alley, took a detour, twisted and turned, and finally arrived at the back street of Yong'anbo Mansion.

Then, she slipped into the house where she could find the place even with her eyes closed.

Grandma lived in Taihe Hall, separated from her Begonia Court by a garden and a bridge corridor.

At this time, the members of the Jiang family had already fallen asleep, and there were only two night watchmen patrolling outside the courtyard on the north and south sides, and Shen Qingci easily avoided it.

In other large houses in deep houses, after nightfall, everything is dark except for the lanterns under the eaves.

The Jiang family is different.

Because Jiang Yuwan was afraid of the dark, she liked shiny things since she was a child.

Therefore, the pillars of the Jiang family are painted with gold leaf, the eaves are made of glazed tiles, and even the cobblestones paving the road are inlaid with night pearls.

From the front yard, it's nothing. Once you pass through the second gate, if you enter the back yard, you will see a magnificent scene.

After Jiang Yuwan's death, many furnishings in the front yard were changed, but the luxury and brightness of the back yard remained.

Shen Qingci turned over and entered the Taihe Hall.

The maids had already fallen asleep, and there was no sound in the whole yard.

Shen Qing came out of the grandmother's window in a familiar way, and only then did she gently lift her hand. Before she could touch the window, she heard an old and feeble voice from inside the room.

"Is Ah Wan back?"
