Chapter 447 Injured
Qiao Jibai came out of the torture chamber and said, "Go check all the major pharmacies to see what the Shen family has bought recently. We need to check all the pharmacies registered with the government, as well as the black market."
The guard immediately agreed, and Qiao Jibai asked again: "Hasn't the uncle left yet?"
Jiang Ying nodded, "Yes, Minister Qiao is waiting to take Miss Qiao home. He is still in the front hall."
"Let him go."
Qiao Wanyan could indeed go home, and the way out of the Imperial Envoy's Office was personally presented to Minister Qiao by Qiao Jibai.
Not a single hair was lost.
"Uncle, Wanyan is innocent to begin with. I came to the Imperial Envoy's Office because I was worried that questioning her in the Shangshu Mansion would cause rumors outside. I hope you can forgive me."
Minister Qiao nodded slightly and said kindly, "Jibai, how could your uncle blame you for being so thoughtful? Do you want to go to the Shangshu Mansion for dinner today?"
Qiao Jibai smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle, but I'm very busy today and I'm afraid I won't be able to come. I'll treat uncle and aunt to dinner next time."
Minister Qiao didn't say anything more and took Qiao Wanyan back.
In the carriage, Minister Qiao said, "Keep your heart to yourself. Xiaoying can't bite you. Her confession is enough to ruin your elder sister's reputation."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "I know. In the Imperial Household Department, I heard Qiao Yihuan's hysterical voice. It was probably Xiaoying who said something that made her excited."
It was worth it that she saved Xiaoying's life. Such a good knife must be well maintained and returned to Qiao Yihuan.
The master and servant turn against each other, what an interesting plot!
Whenever it appears in the storybook, she would applaud.
Wonderful.
Minister Qiao had a doting look on his face, and his love almost overflowed from his eyes.
"Our Yanyan has grown up, and now she is more careful and clean than before. She is smart to use others' hands to reap the benefits."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "Daddy taught me well."
"Ultimately, this matter still depends on the emperor's opinion. There are two possible results given by the emperor."
Qiao Wanyan said: "For the sake of the emperor's dignity and reputation, this matter was suppressed by force, or the person behind it was found to be a member of the Shen family, in order to balance the Shen family in the court and check the Qiao family, and condone the Shen family's actions. Qiao Yihuan and Jingxin became the victims."
Minister Qiao took a deep breath, his peach blossom eyes smiled into a crescent moon, "Look, whose daughter is this?"
He slapped his thigh when he finished speaking, "Oh my god hahahahahahaha......."
Qiao Wanyan: “........”
My father has always taught me encouragingly since I was young, but now it may be a bit too much.
"Dad, which one do you think is more likely?"
Minister Qiao said, "What do you think? Haven't you already made some plans?"
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything else.
The Imperial Censorate is directly under the emperor, and the final result will be reported to the emperor before a final decision is made.
If the emperor chose the latter, she wouldn't have to do anything to ruin Jingxin and Qiao Yihuan's reputation.
If the emperor chose the former, she would naturally secretly send the evidence of Shen Lingyi buying the filthy medicine and the evidence of the Shen family spreading rumors behind the scenes to the censors.
Those pedantic censors dared to say and do anything, as if advising the emperor was the most fulfilling thing in their lives.
If the matter gets out of hand, the emperor will naturally take the opportunity to severely punish Jingxin and Qiao Yihuan for deceiving the emperor.
No matter what, you will achieve the results you want.
The boundless sky is filled with stars, but you are the one who picks them.
The evidence that Miss Shen's personal maid bought obscene drugs on the black market was delivered to Qiao Jibai.
Jingxin was the abbot of the National Temple, so the Imperial Envoys did not dare to go too far. They only used whipping, but Jingxin did not utter a word.
Compared with its fragile appearance, it is actually a tough guy.
When Qiao Yihuan was interrogated, just like Jingxin, he refused to admit the facts Xiaoying said and even asked to see the Second Prince.
Of course, this message only reached the Imperial Envoy and didn’t even have a chance to be passed on.
At dusk, after having dinner with her parents, Qiao Wanyan returned to Yongning Pavilion.
The midsummer night was still sultry, but Qiao Wanyan didn't feel the heat.
She was wearing a light gauze dress, and her long hair like a waterfall was all tied up, looking neat and beautiful. There were tables on both sides, with two basins of ice on them. A maid was fanning the ice to bring coolness.
This kind of life is something that no other concubine in the palace has ever experienced.
Ice is very expensive in summer, but the Qiao family has an ice cellar.
It was built by Jin specifically for Qiao Wanyan and given to her alone to ensure that there would be enough.
Qiao Wanyan lay lazily in the rocking chair, Ziyuan rocking her gently, feeling so comfortable.
Lu Jinye caught the candied fruit that Qiao Wanyan threw over, chewed it and said truthfully, "It's too sweet."
There was no emotion in these words. I couldn't tell whether he thought the fruit tasted bad because it was too sweet or he was simply praising the candied fruit for being delicious.
Qiao Wanyan was in a very good mood today and was not angry at all. "So what do you like to eat?"
Lu Jinye was quite surprised. He knew that people would lower their bottom line when they were in a good mood, but he was still a little surprised.
He took two steps closer and was about to speak when Qiao Wanyan spoke again, "Do you like eating slaps?"
Lu Jinye nodded, "I don't like it."
The maid of Yongning Pavilion: "............"
There's something wrong with your brain.
"I like!"
A loud voice sounded from the top of the wall, and the voice arrived before the person showed his face. Then, Jiang Qiyun's head appeared on the top of the wall.
"Sister Wanyan, I like it!"
Qiao Wanyan looked at him and said, "Look at your face. Have you been fooled by Chen Che's love poison?"
Jiang Qiyun didn't tell her the truth, and neither did Yun Heng. Qiao Wanyan is still convinced today that Jiang Qiyun's reaction was due to the love poison, because the current Jiang Qiyun is completely different from before.
Any suspicion that he was pretending would be immediately dispelled.
Qiao Wanyan was in a good mood today. "How about this, you two have a fight, and whoever wins comes to me. I will reward the winner with a gift."
Lu Jinye and Jiang Qiyun's eyes suddenly lit up. They both knew what was right and wrong, so they didn't dare to fight in Yongning Pavilion or in Shangshu Mansion, for fear that Shangshu Qiao would have them kicked out together.
The two of them were fighting so hard that they didn't know what was going on. Qiao Wanyan waited until she felt sleepy but they still hadn't come back, so she simply didn't wait any longer and went straight to take a shower, change clothes, and go to bed.
The next morning, they still hadn't returned.
A servant who went out to buy groceries found two people in the alley at the back door.
They were all covered in bruises and wounds. If you didn't know them, you would think they were mortal enemies.
It seemed that he had been fighting all night and fell asleep out of exhaustion.
The carriage passed by, and there was no sign that the two men were waking up.
Oh, by the way, Lu Jinye's arm was broken, and Jiang Qiyun's rib was broken. This is what the doctor said when the people from the Shangshu Mansion sent the two to see him.
He almost lost his life for a reward.
This time it’s better. I can’t get out of bed for ten days or half a month.
