Lou Zhuxin was going crazy. "Jiang Qiao, you really look like your bitch mother. You were born to be a stumbling block to me, but you are smarter than her. How come I didn't realize you were so capable before? You are always so intimate with me, but you really act like one!"
Jiang Qiao naturally couldn't tell her that she wasn't the original owner. "You're right, I'm very smart. By the way, Lou Zhuxin, just wait! Wait for the day when the man you love despises you. Do you think, when the emperor knows how vicious you are, will he still treasure you?"
Lou Zhuxin slumped on the ground. Of course not. Jiang Ji liked her most because she was aloof from worldly affairs, gentle and virtuous.
"No, the Emperor loves me the most..."
Yuxing returned with a woman whose face was covered in scars. "Princess, we've found her!"
Jiang Qiao glanced at Linglong and felt heartbroken. She was at the age when she should have left the palace and got married, but ended up like this.
"Let's go back to the palace."
…
Changle Hall, inside the wing room.
Linglong had changed into comfortable and soft clothes. She knelt in front of Jiang Qiao with tears in her eyes and gestured something with her hands.
Jiang Qiao didn't understand, but he knew that she was probably expressing her gratitude.
His hands were covered with frostbite and cracks, which was really heartbreaking to see.
You don't have to think about it, everyone knows how harshly Lou Zhuxin criticized her.
"Get up first! Once you've recovered, I'll send you back to mother to take care of you."
Linglong waved her hands, feeling anxious.
Yu Xing asked, "Aren't you willing to serve the Queen?"
Linglong nodded dejectedly.
"Why?"
Linglong pointed at the hideous scar on her face and smiled bitterly, then pointed at the broom in the house.
Yu Xing was so distressed that she cried. She told Jiang Qiao, "She must be afraid of scaring the Empress. She meant that I should just stay in Changle Palace and do some rough work."
Linglong nodded.
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Then you stay in Changle Palace first. I will help you find a way to deal with your face."
Linglong waved her hand again.
Yuxing translated first: "She means she doesn't want to cause trouble for the princess."
Linglong nodded.
Jiang Qiao looked at Yu Xing suspiciously: "How do you know everything?"
Yuxing: "I guessed."
Jiang Qiao: ...

Gu Yun returned to his mansion with his 12,000 taels of gold.
Huaisheng came forward and said, "Sir, how is it? How is it? Is the palace big and beautiful?"
Gu Yun said calmly, "It's very boring. There's only one person..."
Huaisheng asked, "Only one person? Who is it?"
Gu Yun looked at him with a half-smile: "Are you curious?"
Huaisheng shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'm not curious."
"Why don't you quickly send the gold to the accounting office and let the steward do it instead of letting me do it myself?"
Huaisheng rubbed his head and smiled innocently: "Yes... by the way, this is the IOU that Master Chi asked me to give you."
Gu Yun took the yellowed paper, looked at the amount on it, and curled his lips. This was the rhythm of clearing out his house.
You are so good, Chi Qian!
"Where are the others?"
"After you left, Master Chi left the house. I don't know where he went."
"Okay, you go down first!"
…
After Chi Qianan returned to the capital, he didn't want to alert the enemy, so he planned to stay at Gu Yun's place until the celebration banquet was held.
He stood in front of the General Auxiliary Mansion, staring at the large characters on the plaque above the gate.
This place is so unfamiliar. Counting the time, he hasn't been back for eight years.
Inside the mansion, there is an open space.
Old General Chi Lu was practicing swinging a big sword with an experienced posture, but his age was no longer suitable for wielding swords and guns.
But after a while, he was so tired that he squatted on the ground.
Chi Lu slowly stroked his beard and muttered to himself, "That brat will be back in Beijing soon. I haven't seen him for two years. I wonder how much taller he has grown?"
Chi Qianan hid in the corner and observed the old man, feeling a little sad.
How did he get so old?
Chi Lu seemed to sense something, and turned sideways to look at the corner, only to see white snow falling from the leaves.
"I'm old! I'm not agile enough anymore..."
Then he stood up and continued practicing his sword.
Chi Qianan hid behind the wall, listening to the sound of the old man brandishing swords and guns, and left after a while.
——
Kunning Palace.
After Jiang Qiao left, Lou Zhuxin fainted from anger.
Jiang Shuhuan hurried here after receiving the news.
"Mother, are you okay?"
Lou Zhuxin had already woken up. Her heart softened when she saw Yongning, whose face was tearful, lying in front of the bed.
She still has Yongning, she can't fall.
Two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks. "Yongning, mother will be fine. This harem belongs to you and me. If anyone dares to bully us, mother will let her die."
Jiang Shuhuan's eyes reddened slightly: "It's Jiang Qiao, right? I'll go find the emperor. He loves us so much, he will definitely help us get revenge."
Lou Zhuxin persuaded her: "No, don't go, mother has her own plans."
Jiang Shuhuan didn't understand.
Lou Zhuxin stroked the cheek of the person in front of her and wiped away her tears.
Her Yongning is still young, and no one can stand in her way.
…
Jiang Ji punished everyone in the Imperial Hospital, and he also learned a big secret.
If he had not punished the people in the Imperial Hospital today, he would not have known that the entire Imperial Hospital was under the protection of Concubine Zhu.
So the Queen Mother's illness and... Bai Mian's illness and no one treating him were both her fault?
Jiang Ji didn't want to believe that a young and affectionate confidant, so beautiful, would do such a thing.
"Li Dequan."
"The servant is here."
