【One hundred and ninety】Questioning Sun Qi
Dou Yuelan rode away on a horse and met Mu Yun and Jiang Chengjia who were walking slowly on the street. But he rushed in a hurry and did not notice the two girls. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the alley and disappeared.
Mu Yun stared at the flashing figure and frowned and said, "The one who ran by just now is Dou Tingwei? Why did he walk so urgently from the East City?"
Jiang Chengjia leaned on the wooden wheel, and saw the familiar figure while squinting her eyes, and whispered: "Maybe something happened to the Tingwei Mansion."
Mu Yun looked at the more and more people on the street, looked at the sun hanging high in the east, and said softly, "We have been out for a long time. If we continue to stay outside, it may not be beneficial to your condition. A Luo, why not return, right?"
"Okay. You and I appeared in Dongshi for a moment, and the news should also be reached to the Marquis' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion. I am extremely tired, it is time to go back." When she said this, Yu Guang deliberately glanced at the people following behind him, with plans in his eyes.
Somehow, the two girls suddenly stopped and turned to the exit of the East City. So they didn't dare to delay and followed immediately.
The straight line distance from Jiangfu to Dongshi is not far, but if you walk, you need to bypass three long streets and alleys to reach it.
About half an hour later, Jiang Chengjia and others returned to Jiang Mansion. As soon as she entered Bitangzhai, she ordered Shuihe and Black Tea to block the upper and lower parts, and did not allow anyone to enter. She went to the study alone, and even Mu Yun was stopped outside the yard by her.
Seeing this scene, the servants and maids in the mansion couldn't help but wonder and started talking in a low voice in private.
"What happened suddenly to the girl? Why did she lock herself into Bitangzhai as soon as she came back?"
"I don't know, maybe what happened when I left the mansion just now?"
“…”
Dozens of servants and maids surrounded the corridor, stretching their heads and looking towards Bitangzhai.
Mu Yun stood outside the screen wall, leaning against the green wall, looking at the quiet courtyard, sighed, then shook her head and left helplessly. Her eyes gently swept across the servants and maids standing on the corridor, with a little sharpness, as if warning them not to spy on the movements of the main house at will.
She calmed down her eyes and calmed down. She looked at Sun Qi who was standing beside her. Seeing that he had been lowering his head silently, she turned her eyes thoughtfully, and then told everyone waiting in front of the door: "Miss is already tired after leaving the house. You don't have to go in the inner room today. You can just let Shuihe and Black Tea deal with everything. You all retreat, don't bother with nothing."
"I, my subordinates obey the order." Several maids who were serving in Bitangzhai followed Nian Qian and Sun Qi bowed to Mu Yun together and retreated.
As the white horse passed by, the Dongyang moved westward, and night fell in panic. Thousands of star lamps hung in the abyss, spreading down with the flawless moonlight, covering the streets and alleys on the city.
Green lamps were lit up and down from Jiang Mansion, and the candlelight shone brightly on the four corners of the corridor. The servants and maids walked in the corridor, silently, and were doing their own work. The dark place was quiet. The cold wind in the backyard blew, and the yellow leaves on the ground were rolled up, and a rustling sound came.
Bitangzhai was silent for an afternoon, and finally there was a slight movement.
Jiang Chengjia came out of the study and heard Shuihe go up and say, "My daughter, Mrs. Mu waited in front of the screen wall of Bitangzhai before a stick of incense. It seems that there is something important to discuss with you."
She raised her eyes and paused slightly, holding a scroll of books in her hand, nodded slightly to Shuihe and said, "I understand. I'll go to the main house to get something and then go to see her."
After saying that, she raised her foot and wanted to leave, and Shuihe hurriedly followed. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chengjia suddenly stopped and glanced at her and said, "Don't follow me. You and Black Tea will go to the kitchen to help me watch the medicinal food. I will eat it after night."
Shuihe was stunned, feeling strange, thinking to himself: On weekdays, the woman never asks about medicinal food, why did she suddenly mention it?
Just when she was stunned, Jiang Chengjia had already gone far away, hiding in the darkness, and disappeared.
At that time, Mu Yun leaned against the willow tree and was already a little impatient to wait. Jiang Chengjia appeared in front of the screen wall at this moment and called out to her: "Ayi, I'm a little late, I'll let you wait for a long time."
Mu Yun turned his head, wrapped his arms around his chest, looked her up and down, and finally set his eyes on the volume of documents she was holding in her hand, and said softly: "For the sake of Sun Qi, are you fully prepared?"
Jiang Chengjia lowered his eyes and said slightly: "That's natural. He has served me and Junhou for two years. If he doesn't treat him seriously, wouldn't it be useless to pay this period of attention to him?"
Mu Yun pouted, stopped asking questions, stood up straight, and walked outside Bitangzhai: "Let's go. Everything is arranged. Sun Qi has been detained. The spies and guards who can prove that he is the messenger have entered the mansion. He can't escape tonight."
She walked in front and greeted Jiang Chengjia, and her steps under her feet became faster. The two of them walked towards the attic in the corner of Xiting.
Sun Qi and Nian Qian lived in the Delicate Tower in the west courtyard of Jiangfu. This building is close to the Bitangzhai in Jiangchengjia, which is convenient for the two doctors to diagnose their pulse and adjust the prescription for health care. Therefore, the girls arrived at Sun Qi's residence within a few steps.
Jiang Chengjia stood in front of the attic, staring at the figures reflected in the room, feeling a little uncomfortable. There were dozens of guards guarding in front of the door. Seeing the two girls coming here, he immediately saluted and said, "Girl! Madam!"
The girls nodded to several guards and ordered: "It's night. Thank you all, my brothers, please go to the corridor to get a bowl of tea soup to relieve your fatigue."
Everyone said, "Here."
The guards lined up and stepped back carefully. Jiang Chengjia let out a long sigh, holding it in his heart, and his face gradually became deeper. Mu Yun looked around and said silently: "Go. I'll wait for you outside the house. If there is anything, call me immediately."
Jiang Chengjia glanced at the afterglow, looked suddenly and said softly: "Okay. I'll go and go."
She held the book in her hand tightly, lifted the hem of her skirt, quietly climbed the steps, and suddenly stepped in front of the threshold, and her hand that reached out to push the door stopped.
Mu Yun observed silently, with helpless expression on his face and sighed secretly. Jiang Chengjia was concentrating for a moment, and finally pushed open the door.
Sun Qi's soft call came from the room: "Female."
Then, what followed was the sound of the door being solid.
Mu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked to the corridor, stared at the night view outside, leaned on the red pillar, and quietly waited for Jiang Chengjia to come out.
Inside the house, the lights swayed because the breeze broke in outside the door.
Jiang Chengjia stood in the bright hall, staring at Sun Qi who was kneeling on the ground and bent up, with a smile on his eyes, but it didn't reach his eyes.
She said softly: "What should I do on my knees? Get up."
Sun Qi shook all over, raised his head tremblingly, looked at the girl in the middle of the Mingtang, and said in a panic: "I don't know why the female...is why it suddenly arrived?"
Jiang Chengjia did not express his original intention and asked gently: "It's late at night, I want to find Sun Yiling to talk about health prescriptions."
Sun Qi showed doubts and said strangely: "The female's health prescription...? The officials have always discussed with Mrs. Mu... Why do you suddenly ask these questions?"
Jiang Chengjia smiled lightly and said lightly: "Why, I want to ask myself about the prescription for the medicine, and do you still need to agree with my sister-in-law?"
Sun Qi felt agitation in her tone, and she felt a chill in her forehead and stammered, "I don't mean this..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Chengjia continued, "I know you didn't mean that, so I brought the prescription here personally. I have read some medical books since I was a child, and I am still a little confused about the several medicinal materials on the prescription. I have already written a circle of ink pens. I wonder if Lord Sun can tell me about it?"
She walked up, squatted in front of Sun Qi, helped him up from the ground in person, and handed him the book in her hand.
Sun Qi was already covered in cold sweat. He took the book from the girl's hand and kept trembling between his arms and wrists: "Secretary, please obey the order."
He lowered his head, spread out the book in his hand, and began to read it with fear.
At this moment, his face immediately changed, his legs and feet immediately became sore and soft. With a plop, he knelt down again.
Jiang Chengjia stood up slowly and gracefully, with a smile on the corner of his lips, but his eyes looked like ice water in the cold pond, which was cool and dark. She opened her lips and said gently: "Why is Lord Sun so scared? Is there anything wrong with my prescription? Is it so scary?"
Sun Qi was extremely tired and full of fear. He stared at Juanjuan's small words on the book and swallowed his throat hard: "I wonder why the female...why do you want to show such things to the officials?"
Jiang Chengjia: "Master Sun asked me why? I want to ask you why I was so panicked when I saw the content of this document?"
Sun Qi's lips turned pale and his face turned pale. He held the document and said, "The officials have always been cowardly. Now, the female emperor suddenly told the past that it really made the officials panic. I wonder why the female emperor did this? The officials, the officials..."
"Does Lord Sun really know nothing about the content of the document? So, do you look familiar with these two handwritten books?" Jiang Chengjia took out two copies of the text from his arms and threw it in front of him.
Two volumes fell on the ground, spread out and presented them to Sun Qi just right. He immediately called out: "Female! The emperor is wronged!"
Jiang Chengjia said coldly: "Sun Qi. I don't have that good patience. If you don't recognize me, I have other ways to tell the truth."
"Female! The lower official... the lower official..."
Sun Qi was incoherent and didn't know how to refute. He knelt on the ground and kept rubbing the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.
"You should know what you have to rely on behind me and even behind Jiang Mansion. I can know your whereabouts clearly. If you recognize or not, the facts are there. Originally, I didn't have to come and talk to you. After the Lord returns, I will just hand over these evidences to him. However, I have been doing my best to serve us and our wife in the past two years, and I want to give you a chance."
