Chapter 170: Concubine Yu was so hungry that she could eat even the food of Doctor Qi
The three siblings walked back after eating and strolling.
When they returned to the Taishi Mansion, they saw their grandmother Tan Shujing dressed neatly and walked out of the house in a dignified and solemn manner surrounded by her daughters-in-law.
Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but ask her third aunt in a low voice.
"Aunt, what are you going to do?"
Although the third aunt lived in the mansion, she knew very well that...
Xu Yaowen was able to be specially dispatched to Jinzhou this time, all thanks to Jiang Zhiyu.
If Jinzhou really suffered a drought during this trip...
then Xu Yaowen would have made great contributions in disaster relief, and he would be promoted after returning to Beijing, and his future would be bright.
She was grateful to Jiang Zhiyu in her heart, so she spoke softly and carefully, asking about every detail.
"My mother's family and Concubine De are distant relatives. Although they have severed their relationship, death is the greatest thing. My mother-in-law wants to go to the palace to see Concubine De off for the last time!"
Jiang Zhiyu was shocked when she heard this.
[I can't go! Grandmother doesn't know that Concubine De was framed to death by the emperor. If we go to the palace to mourn now, I'm afraid that the Xu family will be suspected by the emperor! I can't go...]
Tan Shujing had already stepped out of the courtyard, but when she heard Jiang Zhiyu's voice, she shrank back in panic.
What did my granddaughter say?
Was Concubine De framed to death by the emperor?
But she heard...
Concubine De's death made the emperor very sad!
But my granddaughter was on duty in the study, and her words were more reliable than those of the palace maids.
Tan Shujing decided that it would be better to find out clearly.
"Zhiyu..."
Grandmother turned around and looked for Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Kang'an.
Seeing this, the two hurried forward.
"Grandmother, I'm fine."
"Kang'an, you and Zhiyu just came back from the palace, right?"
"Yes."
Tan Shujing was supported by someone and walked over, holding Jiang Zhiyu's hand.
"Tell grandma, is the emperor very sad about the death of Concubine De?"
Jiang Zhiyu was speechless.
[Concubine De cheated on him, he cheated on Concubine De with his own hands, do you think he is sad? ]
But facing the grandmother who knew nothing, he could only speak tactfully.
"When my elder brother and I left, the emperor was fine."
Tan Shujing was still immersed in Jiang Zhiyu's voice and couldn't extricate herself. Concubine
De... cheated on the emperor?
Does this "cuckold" mean what she understands?
How did Zhiyu know such a secret of the harem!
She looked at Jiang Zhiyu in amazement, and could not help but pull her closer with her hands.
"But grandma heard that the emperor used your elder brother as an excuse to punish the imperial physician who treated Concubine De..."
Anyway, she did not believe what others said, that the imperial physician colluded with the Southern Dragons and intended to commit treason.
Imperial Physician Qi is not young anymore, and there are no sisters or cousins in the harem who need support.
Wouldn't it be better to work for a few more years and enjoy his old age?
Why did he have to collude with the Southern Dragons?
If he betrayed the country, he could neither become the emperor nor get promoted. What was the point of taking such a big risk?
[Hey, that's not for my elder brother! It's obviously because the imperial physician got Concubine Yu pregnant! ]
[Didn't you see that Concubine Yu had a miscarriage just after Qi Jiang was sent away? ]
Tan Shujing:!
Even Tan Shujing, who was used to seeing absurd things, almost turned away.
She was not afraid of anything else, but was worried that Zhiyu, who knew so many secrets of the harem, would be envied by the emperor.
Jiang Zhiyu, however, was completely unaware and answered self-consciously:
"The death of that imperial physician had nothing to do with Concubine De... He used insects to harm my eldest brother, and was beheaded as a warning to the public, and his property was confiscated and exiled. I think he got it right!"
Tan Shujing nodded and pulled Jiang Zhiyu into her arms.
She held her in her arms, turned around, and returned to the house.
"Since the emperor is fine, we won't go. After all, they are cousins who are not related at all."
The aunts looked at each other in confusion and had to turn around.
Tan Shujing pulled Jiang Zhiyu and walked slowly.
"Zhiyu, let's eat in grandma's courtyard tonight. What do you want to eat? Let your mother cook!"
Jiang Zhaorong didn't cherish such a little know-it-all, but he treated her as a sweetheart in the Xu family!
Jiang Zhiyu had just returned after eating, and shook her head with a silly smile.
"Anything is fine."
Tan Shujing smiled dotingly, thinking of Jiang Zhiyu's thoughts just now, and reminded him indirectly:
"Zhiyu, you are on duty in the study, you must be extra careful in what you say and do, understand?"
"Grandma, don't worry, I know my limits."
Jiang Zhiyu smiled perfunctorily, really didn't want to listen to the same old admonitions from his elder brother and grandmother.
"Oh, by the way, grandma, I haven't prepared the medicine that the emperor ordered. I'm going back to my own courtyard first!"
Seeing her granddaughter's well-behaved appearance, Tan Shujing really liked her more and more.
Even if she was willing to let her go, she would give her many instructions.
"Grandma will send someone to pick you up at dinner time!"
She turned around and said to Jiang Kang'an and Jiang Sulan in an even-handed manner.
"You guys come too!"
With one sentence, they turned the two siblings into incidentals...
But he didn't dislike it, he just nodded helplessly and said yes.
Jiang Zhiyu fled back to her own courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhuying standing at the door waiting for her.
She looked anxious.
As soon as she saw Jiang Zhiyu, she hurried over to greet her.
"Miss! Miss, you are finally back!"
"What's wrong? What happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly..."
Zhuying glanced behind Jiang Zhiyu, and seeing that there was no one around, she stepped forward and whispered:
"It's Miss Ji, she was taken away by the second prince's people!"
Jiang Zhiyu was stunned when she heard that.
This Xiao Chuji is really amazing!
His mother has passed away, and he was finally released from house arrest, but he only thinks about finding a woman! He
is really invincible in love!
He is worthy of it.
However, she can't let Xiurong be taken away by him like this.
Jiang Zhiyu turned around and was about to go and ask for someone!
Unexpectedly, Ji Xiurong came back by herself.
But she was in a hurry and was very flustered.
Seeing the surprised Jiang Zhiyu, he did not forget to bow and salute.
"Xiu Rong, Xiao Chuji didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Jiang Zhiyu quickly helped him up.
"No."
Seeing the doubt in Jiang Zhiyu's eyes, Ji Xiurong told the truth.
"He came to me and said that he wanted my brother to enter the palace to pray for Concubine De."
[Huh? Xiurong's brother? The old lover who was brought into the palace by Concubine Yu and burned to death by the Sixth Prince? ]
[You can't go there. If you go there, you'll be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. ]
[Think about how hungry Concubine Yu was. Even Doctor Qi could eat it, not to mention the cold Buddhist son! ]
Ji Xiurong was stunned.
But he also read out the key information-
my brother can't enter the palace!
If he meets Concubine Yu and the Sixth Prince, he will definitely be killed!
She raised her head firmly and asked Jiang Zhiyu for leave.
"Miss San, I want to go to Yuhua Temple. Please allow me."
"Are you going to stop your brother from entering the palace?"
[Although I don't know why Xiurong did this, this is indeed the best way to avoid it! ]
Ji Xiurong nodded.
"Yes, I am worried that I can't persuade my brother with just letters."
Jiang Zhiyu naturally didn't stop her and called a carriage for her.
"Don't worry, there is still enough time."
"Thank you, Miss San!"
