Chapter 246: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (29)
Jiang Lianxue hurried over and helped General Jiang, who had fallen on the straw mat.
Because she had not washed for a long time, her body exuded a sour smell. In addition, the environment in the prison was dirty and smelly, and General Jiang almost vomited.
"Father, how did you end up in prison?"
Hearing Jiang Lianxue's words, General Jiang ignored the nausea in his stomach and angrily said, "It's all that rebellious girl's fault!"
After all, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, how could he not understand why the Chief Censor suddenly joined forces with Li Yuanfan.
What a coincidence, she came to expose him when he was causing trouble for Jiang Lu Cha.
Jiang Lu Cha must have cooperated with the Imperial Censor a long time ago!
Maybe she deliberately arranged Li Yuanfan to be by her side!
Otherwise, how could Li Yuanfan, who had just taken office, know how many confidants he had?!
Jiang Lianxue fearfully grabbed Captain Jiang's hand: "Then we'll never be able to get out!!"
"Father, please think of a solution quickly! I don't want to stay here with bugs and rats anymore!"
She's had enough of life in jail!
"Don't worry, your father has already ordered people to make preparations."
General Jiang smiled grimly.
You can't bring him down with just account books and letters!
Find someone to take the blame and you can get away with it perfectly!
Since Jiang Lucha wanted him to die so much, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
That matter will be exposed sooner or later, and it will be pinned on her!
-
The next day.
In the bedroom of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Ming Yan packed the candied fruit and chestnut cakes, thought for a moment, and then ordered his servants to bring a roast chicken.
He remembered that when the Queen Mother was a little fox, she loved eating chicken.
After taking the medicine this time, she probably won’t be angry anymore.
Ming Yan put the food into a wooden box and was about to go into the palace when Zhuo Xuan came running in with a serious expression:
"Sir, Zhuo Xuan has found some clues."
Ming Yan's breath was caught.
Even though I tried hard to suppress my excitement, my body still trembled slightly: "Speak."
Zhuo Xuan hesitated for a moment: "The old lady's matter may be related to the Queen Mother."
"Before the Queen Mother entered the palace, her life in the Jiang Mansion was not easy. She went to see Mr. Ming for divination, hoping to calculate when she could make a breakthrough, but he refused."
"I don't know where the Queen Mother got the news from, but she actually went to the village and found the old lady, hoping to ask her to speak up for her and have the old man tell her fortune."
"The old lady said she couldn't make the decision, but the Queen Mother threatened to commit suicide. The two of them must have argued and pushed each other, which led to the old lady falling off the cliff."
Bang——!
Ming Yan broke the handle of the wooden box.
The porcelain cup inside fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The flowing medicine juice slowly covered the oil paper bag.
Ming Yan's pupils instantly became bloodshot, and dark speculations could not be controlled from the bottom of his heart.
The Queen Mother was afraid that the truth would be exposed and that she would kill her one day, so she deliberately approached me repeatedly.
Ming Yan hurriedly grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
The cold tea slightly dissipated the depression that had suddenly risen in Ming Yan's chest, and gradually calmed him down.
As soon as General Jiang was imprisoned, his people found out what happened that year and pointed the finger at the Queen Mother.
Too abnormal.
But he couldn't miss any clue.
"Go to the Jiang Mansion to investigate whether the Queen Mother left the capital five years ago."
"Have someone boil the medicine again."
Zhuo Xuan nodded in agreement: "Then should we throw away these foods?"
Ming Yan pursed his lips slightly.
If this matter is really related to the Queen Mother...
"Prepare a new one."
-
The imperial garden of the palace.
The sun is shining brightly and flowers are blooming.
Several concubines carefully hid in their respective positions, not daring to make any sound.
Lu Cha's eyes were covered with a scarlet cloth, and she smiled and stretched out her two white and tender hands:
"I'm here to catch you~"
Ming Yan came over with the wooden box and saw this ridiculous scene.
As luck would have it, Lu Cha groped her way over, her fingertips touched his arm, and she immediately hugged him.
Ming Yan froze.
Blindfolded, Lu Cha proudly wrapped her arms around Ming Yan's waist, but found it wasn't as soft as she had imagined, and couldn't help wondering:
"Which concubine is this?"
The waist is so stiff!
Suddenly, a cold and distant voice came from above Lu Cha's head:
"Men and women are different. Please respect yourself, Queen Mother."
“?!”
When will the little villain come?!
Lu Cha ripped off the strip of cloth in a daze, and before she could come to her senses, Ming Yan broke free from her restraints and walked calmly towards the octagonal pavilion not far away.
Sensing that something was not right with Ming Yan, Lu Cha waved her hand and asked the concubines to leave temporarily.
When she arrived in the pavilion, Ming Yan had already taken out a white jade porcelain cup and placed it on the stone table.
"Why did the Imperial Master come so late today?"
Ming Yan's brows were stern, as if he had returned to the original unreachable state: "Something happened."
Is the little villain in a bad mood?
Lu Cha picked up the porcelain cup and drank from it, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly furrowed tightly.
Sour and bitter!
What?
A combination of the first two decoctions?!
"The Empress Dowager has had a red face and red eyes lately, which is due to excessive heat in the lungs and stomach, so I added coptis root to the soup to clear away heat and purge fire."
Ming Yan's voice was cold and emotionless.
Lu Cha stared at him suspiciously, and asked in his heart: [Tongtong, what's wrong with the little villain? ]
[Maybe it's because your father passed the blame to you.]
Lucha: "?"
