Chapter 17 The Midnight Trial (Part One)
Su He said tremblingly, “I alone made it!”
“Why?” Qiu Yelan frowned.
“... Because Young Master Ruan is focusing on his career right now,” Su He bit his lips and said timidly, “I'm afraid he's good to you just because of your engagement. So, I want to test it. ”
“Should I do something like this?” Qiu Yelan realized that it was no wonder Madam Lu said that Ruan Qingyan might be planning something that was not good. “See? Even Su He suspected her! “
Su He cried, “How can you do that? When I say something wrong, you can apologize to Young Master Ruan by hitting or scolding me. But if you and Young Master Ruan are at a dead end, we are at his place now! “
“Do not worry about this kind of thing again!” Qiu Yelan looked at the little girl who was shorter than him and sighed, “I know what I am doing!” Seeing Su He was about to say something, he kicked the table, “You don't want to listen to me anymore, right?”
Su He then said, “I dare not. I will listen to you from now on! ”
“Ambilize water.” Qiu Yelan sent him out. And his face went dark.
There are two threats in front of him. One of them was from the people in Prince Xihe Palace. After seeing General Ruan's appearance, he decided that after he returned, he would kill Madam Lu no matter what. If not, he will not be able to sleep. The other was her engagement which seemed like it could be delayed for two or three years.
The last one is more complicated than the first.
According to his memory, the engagement of him and Deng Yi was proposed by the Duke of Guangyang, not Deng Yi. Then the Duke of Xihe, Qiu Mengmin, agreed.
When Princess Ruan found out, the two families had already exchanged their birth dates to see if they were a match.
Empress Dowager Gu was behind Duke Guangyang. So, it was almost impossible for her to break off this engagement. The only hope is that Deng Yi does not want to marry her and goes to talk to her family. But they've been engaged for two years. If Deng Yi wanted to decide, he would not have waited until now.
“The plan asks him to pay off his debt later. Now, it looks like I have to break off the engagement just in case something bad happens. What if he forgets me after a while? ” Qiu Yelan thinks. Although Ruan Qingyan helped him with everything he got, he was a new person in the city and knew no one. He's still rooted.
Even if he got first place in the spring trials and got the Number One Bachelor degree, he was not comparable to the Duke of Guangyang.
Everyone knew that the only one who could fight Empress Dowager Gu was Empress Jiang.
“General Jiang is only one of the Empress' nephews. Even she was the Empress' favorite, she might not be able to make the Empress listen to anything she said. Even he could, he might not want to, “Qiu Yelan thought about how to make sure that Jiang Yashuang would do it,” But he brought me to a fight between two empresses last time … Maybe I can work through here ? ”
Ruan Qingyan came to visit him the next day, she asked him, “Has something happened between the two queens recently?”
“Last time you said that the Empress Dowager sentenced to death four of her close aides. What was that?” Qiu Yelan thought for a moment and asked.
Ruan Qingyan looked at him strangely. But he still replied, “This is very strange. The four servants served the Empress Dowager for many years. The Empress Dowager liked them very much. I heard from Shenshen.I heard from Hua that in the palace even the princes and princesses did not dare to treat the four of them a little. However, the Empress Dowager gave them the death penalty without any warning. And their charge is to steal property in the Empress Dowager's palace! “
“The Prime Minister's dependency can be considered a level seven officer, not to mention their employer is the Empress Dowager. How can they be short of money? ” Qiu Yelan shook her head and said, “Although they are short-sighted, but after serving the Empress Dowager for so many years, they should have known better. Their accusations must be fabricated. “
“Why did you suddenly ask this?” Ruan Qingyan asked.
“I thought about Cousin Kang going to dinner at the palace all of a sudden yesterday,” Qiu Yelan replied calmly, “As a civil girl, I'm happy, he simply returned a cat and was invited to a New Year's Eve dinner that only officers above level five and his family were allowed to leave. The Empress Dowager and Empress did not get along. The queen did this. Wasn't she afraid the Empress Dowager would accuse her of not knowing the rules? “
Ruan Qingyan muttered to herself, “Indeed suspicious. It is said that this princess was young and naive. He might do this all of a sudden. “
Qiu Yelan was planning to distract him. He got what he wanted and kept saying, “You're right. I forgot that Princess Yongfu is still young. “
Then he chatted with Ruan Qingyan. Because the New Year is coming soon. There's a lot of things to do. Ruan Qingyan did not stay for long in the Lvqiang Court and was taken away by Ruan An.
As he left, Qiu Yelan asked Su He to come alone and whispered in his ear.
Su He did not hear much and said happily, “Tell the truth to General Jiang?” Then hesitate, “Why do you want to meet him personally? If he doesn't believe it, he can come visit in the morning. You can ask Young Master Ruan to explain the situation to you. “
“I heard that grandfather was no match for Marquess Qin back then. Who knew Marquess Qin would be happy or not if General Jiang came here openly? ” Qiu Yelan frowned, “In addition we will only say a few words on the back door of the General's House. Are you afraid I'm having a loss? He has a good reputation. In addition, judging from his family, he gave a big gift to Cousin Kang because of the Persian cat. How could he treat me so badly? ”
Su He said worriedly, “What if he believes the people in the Prince's Palace and thinks that you have ... lied to him?”
“No, if. What do you mean we should let Cousin Kang take the plaudits? ” Qiu Yelan pushed him, “Don't waste time! Do what I say! “
