Chapter 305: Bad Intentions
It can be seen from this that the Imperial Concubine is willing to sit next to the Emperor and wait obediently, which is a great trust.
Wang Dequan's meaning is very clear: I advise you not to make trouble, otherwise you will have to coax the Imperial Concubine in the end.
He is most afraid that the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine will have a quarrel, anyway, in the end, the ones who will suffer are the maids and eunuchs serving the Emperor.
Emperor Xuanwu closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to release some of the depression in his heart, but he was disappointed with Jiang Xinyue's reaction.
He felt that he had given all his enthusiasm, but he found that the person he was thinking about everywhere did not love him as much as he thought.
Feelings need to be responded to. Without receiving the same emotional response, he was really sad and a little angry. However, he didn't dare to vent this anger on Jiang Xinyue in the end.
He was cautious because Yue'er was really hard to coax, and it was usually not easy to make her angry.
Wang Dequan was right, and in the end he was the one who was shameless.
No!
Did Wang Dequan describe him like this just now?
Probably not!
Even he didn't have the courage.
Emperor Xuanwu, who was full of anger, could only vent his anger on Qu Sanlang.
Jiang Xinyue brought back Jiang Yuncai, who was unharmed, at dark, which disappointed the people who were waiting to see the show.
They had been waiting for a day and sent out several groups of people to inquire, all wanting to get the latest news and hear the first-hand gossip of the Jiang family.
Didn't a group of people come back to report that they went to Yihonglou?
Were they brought out from the brothel? It doesn't look like that!
Once you enter that place, if you don't obey, how can you not be tortured?
Someone who is quick-witted couldn't help but ask: "Where did Miss Jiang go? So many of us couldn't find you."
Jiang Xinyue glanced at her, and the lady who asked the question was so scared that she quickly shrank back.
But this is also the issue that everyone is most concerned about, so someone else said: "It's not a big deal, it's good that the person is found. Miss Jiang is not injured, right? If so, don't hide it, let the imperial doctor take a look this morning."
The words "Did you lose your virginity?" were almost written on her face.
Jiang Xinyue was so angry that she almost laughed, and she really laughed: "Guess what? When I found her, she was robbing a money bag with a group of little beggars!"
"Beggars?"
"Robbing a money bag?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Yuncai was very angry, her brows twisted into a "川" shape, and she said unhappily: "I was getting ready to change clothes inside, and a group of little brats pushed the backboard away. My maid stepped forward to scold them, and was knocked unconscious by them with a stick. They came up and tried to snatch my purse, and I got hot-headed and chased after them. As a result, I ran far away and followed them into a ruined temple. You didn't see that there were many old, weak and disabled people in the ruined temple. I was soft-hearted and gave them all the money I had. But I wanted to get my purse back, and the group of little brats refused to give it back, so I fought with them. If the Royal Concubine hadn't brought people to find me, I would have been beaten by the little brats."
This is understandable.
The personal belongings of a noble lady all have their own unique marks on them. If they fall into the hands of a beggar, if someone wants to harm her in the future, who knows what kind of rumors will be made up. Of course, she has to take the purse back.
Sun slapped Jiang Yuncai on the arm: "You are going to die. If your wallet is taken away, it's taken away. If it really doesn't work, report it to the police tomorrow and let them get it back for you. You ran away without saying a word, do you know how worried your mother is?"
She cried with lingering fear: "If it weren't for the queen... If it weren't for the queen to find you, would you really fight with beggars?"
Jiang Yuncai's face turned pale and she smiled reluctantly: "Mother. I'm sorry, it's my daughter's inconsiderateness."
She still had hidden injuries all over her body. In order to prevent others from discovering her injuries, she simply applied some painkillers on her fingers. When Jiang Yuncai swung her arm after being slapped by Sun, blood oozed from her fingertips.
Su Ruyue seemed to see it, but it was not clear.
Jiang Xinyue moved her feet to block Su Ruyue's prying eyes, turned her head to look at Jiang Yuncai, and then signaled her to step on her skirt.
Jiang Yuncai didn't understand, and looked at her innocently with clear eyes.
Xi Que was so anxious that she pushed Jiang Yuncai, and Jiang Yuncai fell forward. This time she didn't have to step on the skirt, and fell directly to the ground, falling flat on her face.
"Ouch! Damn it!"
Xi Que's face immediately showed pain. She leaned in Shuangjiang's arms, holding up her injured leg: "My queen, my leg has been aching slightly since I was bitten last time. I wonder if it's going to rain soon? I couldn't stand steadily just now and accidentally pushed the second young lady. I really didn't mean it."
"No... I don't blame you!"
Jiang Yuncai grinned before she got up, "I didn't stand steadily."
"Ouch!"
Shuangjiang pointed at the palm of her hand where the skin was scratched: "Second young lady, your hand is hurt."
There were some protruding pebbles on the ground, which rubbed her palm and caused bleeding, which just covered the bleeding from the pinholes on her fingers.
Jiang Xinyue quickly asked someone to help him up: "Don't leave any scars. Send the second young lady to find a female doctor to clean the wound."
"But, why did I hear that the Royal Concubine went to Yihong Tower? Could it be that this second young lady Jiang was brought back from the brothel by the Royal Concubine?"
People around looked at Jiang Yuncai with strange eyes, and Sun was so angry that she wanted to tear the man's mouth.
Jiang Xinyue winked at Shuangjiang, and several maids came to support Jiang Yuncai: "Second Miss, don't listen to the gossip of the gossiper, let's quickly find a female doctor to take a look."
After the eldest aunt and her family left, Jiang Xinyue looked at the young lady from the Pei family who had just spoken: "I went to Yihong Tower, but I didn't find my cousin there, but I saw that the third son of the Qu family seemed to be in some trouble."
There were also women from the Qu family present. Mrs. Qu Zhen was originally watching the play leisurely, but suddenly heard her son's name, frowned and said: "What does the Royal Concubine mean by this?"
Jiang Xinyue curled her lips and smiled, looking at the ill-intentioned girl from the Pei family, and said meaningfully: "Then I have to thank that group of little beggars. If they hadn't robbed my cousin's purse and made me think that my cousin was kidnapped, I wouldn't have begged the emperor to accompany me to Yihong Tower. I didn't find my cousin inside, so I came out immediately. I heard that Yihong Tower had bought a new young lady from an official family who was in trouble, but it turned out that she was the concubine of a capable general under the governor of Zhenzhou, and the concubine ran away with the list of corrupt officials."
Zhen was no fool. The royal concubine had been hinting at the Pei family again and again. Wasn't she saying that the Pei family had kidnapped the third girl Jiang, which led to the emperor catching her son's handle?
