Chapter 229 Not a single splash

Xiao Qingwu didn't want to leave, but the emperor looked at her, and she was like a mouse seeing a cat, with cold air running down her neck.

Their birth mother, Concubine Duan, was not a person with a good background. It was only when the emperor was on a southern tour that he saw that she was pretty and sang well, so he took her into the palace.

After entering the palace, she gave birth to Xiao Siyuan, and within a few months, she became pregnant with Xiao Qingwu.

The empress dowager loved her very much.

In addition, Xiao Qingwu was very competitive. Although she was spoiled and willful on weekdays, she was sweet-mouthed, which made the emperor and the empress dowager dote on her. She

had never seen the emperor's face so cold.

She was terrified, lowered her head, bowed, and ran out of the palace.

【??? The emperor is not going to pursue this matter?】

【What a doting father he is.】

The emperor: "..."

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, his voice a little tired: "Zhiyu, you and Wen Jing go back first, let Fuping come in."

Jiang Zhiyu couldn't wait to get up.

The emperor summoned her urgently, so he entrusted He Yanting to look after the printing factory over there for her, she had to go back quickly.

【By the way, didn't my uncle say that the empress dowager wanted to see me? I've been back for so many days, why haven't you made any movement yet?】

The emperor: "..."

That was what I saved you, you are just so old, what kind of marriage is it!

The palace maid knelt on the ground, anxiously waiting for her own end. Although her head was dizzy, she held on.

Not long after Jiang Zhiyu left, Fuping hurried in.

The black gauze and gold-painted hat on his head was a little crooked, and it was obvious that he came in a hurry and was blown crooked by the wind. He

didn't bother to tidy it up. After paying his respects, he tentatively asked, "Your Majesty?"

The emperor stood up and looked at the pot of peonies in the corner. Even in winter, the flowers bloomed particularly beautifully because of the careful care of the palace servants.

"There are too many branches and leaves, which makes people feel annoyed. Take it down and let someone trim it."

The pot of peonies was planted by Concubine Duan herself and sent over. Fuping understood what she meant and quickly called in a few eunuchs. When he passed by the palace maid, he gave her a look.

The maid quickly got up and followed.

After leaving Yu's study, the maid's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she followed Fuping tremblingly.

At this point, she definitely couldn't go back to Concubine Duan. Since the emperor didn't ask for her life, Eunuch Fuping would definitely find a place for her, right?

...

In the Hanlin Academy, the craftsmen in charge of printing almost had afterimages of their hands.

He Yanting sat on Jiang Zhiyu's small chair, supporting his chin lazily with one hand, with a slight curl of his lips.

It seemed that every time he saw her, she could give him some surprises.

He was lost in thought, but the craftsmen working on the side didn't think so.

Who in Shengjing hadn't heard of He Yanting's reputation for brutality? If you disagreed with someone, no matter who you were, you would be dragged out and beaten to death.

Now there is no news that he has beaten anyone to death. It must be because Dr. Jiang cured his leg and he is in a better mood.

The craftsmen thought so and did not dare to slack off.

The work efficiency increased rapidly.

As soon as Jiang Zhiyu stepped into the yard, he saw the books piled up like a mountain.

"!!!"

[So fast? ]

"Thank you, Minister He," Jiang Zhiyu took a book from the "hill" next to him and handed it to him: "This book is very popular, Minister He, take a look."

He Yanting took it.

He was always cold and indifferent. When he looked at others, his black eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he was full of oppression. But in front of Jiang Zhiyu, he was very easy to talk to, even gentle.

"Thank you."

He Yanting stroked the book with his fingertips, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Queen Mother wanted to arrange a marriage for you, but was blocked by the Emperor."

Jiang Zhiyu was slightly stunned.

[Arranged marriage? I'm only 12 years old! ]

[Is this person too idle to talk nonsense? ]

And.

"Assigned to whom?"

"Come to think of it, he is still your colleague, and now he is also working in the Hanlin Academy. He is the nephew of the Queen Mother, An Hong."

An Hong?

Jiang Zhiyu recalled, but couldn't remember the name.

She was a little shocked.

Her memory was not bad. She wrote down everyone who had done anything big in the book.

If you don't remember this name, there is only one reason.

[This kid must be mediocre and has no sense of existence. ]

He Yanting: "..."

Indeed.

Although An Hong is the nephew of the Queen Mother and has a noble status, he is very timid by nature. He dares not speak, dares not do anything, and has no opinion.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't take An Hong seriously, but he remembered the marriage gift.

[I can't bear the hardship of marriage.]

He Yanting: "..."

... Prime Minister's

Mansion, Cuiwei Pavilion.

"Madam, I have been there for several days in a row, but the servants of the Xu Mansion wanted to drive me away when they heard that I was from the Prime Minister's Mansion. I had no choice but to stay in the clinic for a few days, but Miss Jiang never went to the clinic..."

Du Yuelan listened to the report from her personal maid, Bai Zhi, and her face became darker and darker.

"If she hasn't gone, then just keep waiting!" Du Yuelan said in a heavier voice, "She will go one day."

Bai Zhi agreed. Du Yuelan took a sip from her teacup and said, "Don't put all your hopes on her. Since you're going out, you can ask around and see which doctor has better medical skills."

"Don't worry, Madam. The Anle Marquis's residence is still looking for famous doctors. I will go there every day to ask a few questions. When I have found out everything, I will invite them to see Madam."

Du Yuelan nodded slightly, and then her eyes turned cold.

"Have you found out the traitor?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, "The people in the courtyard are all brought by Madam. They are all familiar faces and know everything. I also asked some trustworthy people, and they all said it was normal."

Normal?

Du Yuelan sneered, "I am checking it out. I will pay more attention to it every day. If anyone is wrong, please send them to see me immediately!"

Bai Zhi nodded quickly.

She was furious, and Song Shiwei on the other side was no less angry.

She didn't know what happened, but Jiang Zhaorong's attitude towards her plummeted. When she went to deliver some food, Jiang Zhaorong just let the servants take it and let her go. He even blocked her study room for the first time and didn't let her in.

Even when Xu Youran was in the mansion, Jiang Zhaorong had never been like this. How come now that Xu Youran was gone and Tao Hong took over, Jiang Zhaorong couldn't tolerate it?

She almost bit her silver teeth to pieces. She

had no father or mother, and although she had accumulated a lot of connections over the years, her biggest reliance was still Jiang Zhaorong's favor. Moreover, because of the previous incident in the Dali Temple, the reputation she had worked hard to build was also shattered, and she hadn't contacted the few noble ladies she was on good terms with for a long time.

And Xiao Yanli...

the letters I sent to him seemed to have sunk into the sea without even a splash!
