As soon as Changshou finished speaking, Hejia said, "Tell me, how have I treated you in the past five years?"
Hearing this, Changshou hurriedly said: "The princess treats the slave very well. I remember that two years ago, the slave was sick and couldn't get out of bed. It was the princess who hired the imperial doctor for the slave, and he saved his life. From that time on, the slave
I swore an oath that I would serve the princess well in return for her kindness in rebirth."
He Jia's face turned pale, "Finally you still have some conscience. Now I want you to do something for me. Are you willing?"
Changshou said solemnly: "Please give me the princess's orders. Even if I go through fire and water, I will definitely take care of it for you."
"It's not that serious, but this matter can only be known to you and me. You must not let a third person know about it, otherwise you and I will both be in trouble." After Changshou agreed, she lowered her voice and said: "I want to
You go back to the capital, and before E Niang is buried, go to the Yizhuang where E Niang's body is buried and take a look at E Niang's hands to see if there is anything in them. If there is anything, bring it back to me immediately."
Changshou didn't expect that what Hejia wanted to do by himself was such a thing. He asked tentatively: "Princess, what happened?"
"Don't ask too much, just follow my instructions." Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Changshou didn't ask any more questions and said, "The servant will leave the palace early tomorrow morning, but this trip will cost a lot of money."
Many days, I’m afraid over there in the service room..."
He Jia knew what he wanted to say and said, "I'll accompany you there tomorrow. I just told you that your family member is seriously ill and needs to go home for a visit. I think there won't be any difficulties there."
"Hey, I'm going to pack my things right now." Before Changshou could finish his words, there was a knock on the door from outside, "Princess, Eunuch Qi from the Queen's side is here to see you."
Qi Kuan? He Jia's expression changed. Why is he here? Could it be that he found that he had entered his room? If so, it would be terrible, or... he was sent by Huang Eniang to kill him, just like before
It’s like killing a mother-in-law!
Thinking of this, He Jia's face turned white. Changshou looked at something wrong and said with concern: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
He Jia forced himself to calm down and said, "I'm fine. Just do what I said just now. Remember, don't tell anyone about this, not even the people closest to you."
"Princess, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and never leak any rumors." After Changshou said this, the figure waiting outside with Jiachao said: "Invite him in."
"Yes." After a while, the door was pushed open, and Qi Kuan walked in and greeted He Jia, "I'm here to say hello to the princess."
"Eunuch Qi, no courtesy." He Jia said to Changshou on the side: "You go down first." After the latter left, He Jia said to Qi Kuan who stood up: "Eunuch Qi, do you want to see me?
What's up?"
Qi Kuan smiled and said: "I just went to the House of Internal Affairs to explain the matter. When I came back, I thought of the princess and came to see if there is anything missing here, so I can ask the House of Internal Affairs to take care of it."
Hearing this, Hejia loosened his clenched hands slightly and said with a smile: "Eunuch Qi is interested, but as early as when he moved into Kuai Xuexuan, Huang'e Niang ordered people to prepare everything.
Missing."
"That's good." After saying this, Qi Kuan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Kuai Xuexuan is surrounded by water on three sides. It is indeed much cooler than other places. It is really a good place to escape the summer heat."
He Jia nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't sweated a drop since I moved into Kuai Xuexuan. I really want to move Kuai Xuexuan back to the capital."
Qi Kuan said with a smile: "My Majesty has always loved the princess very much. If you open your mouth, I might actually order Kuai Xuexuan to be demolished and moved to the Forbidden City."
He Jiaben said it casually, but he didn't expect it to lead to such a sentence. He was a little stunned for a moment. Ever since she could remember, Huang's mother loved her. No matter what good things she had, she would always give her a copy. Twelve
The same goes for my brother. No matter where he goes, he always remembers to bring her gifts, including bamboo dragonflies and diabolo toys, all of which were made for her by Yongxu himself. Sometimes, she and Yongxu are even closer than Yongxuan.
But... why, why did Huang's mother want to harm her like that? Putting her in the cold palace was not enough, but she also had to kill her. Didn't Huang's mother keep saying that she and her were as close as sisters? Why did she forget it as soon as she turned around?
Gotta be clean?
At this moment, Hejia really wanted to rush to Xianyue and ask her loudly why she did this!
"Princess? Princess?" Qi Kuan's voice pulled He Jia out of his thoughts, and he quickly gathered his thoughts and said, "What's wrong?"
He Jia thought he had hidden all this well, but he didn't know that it had already been seen by Qi Kuan. The latter sighed in his heart and said calmly: "It's nothing. I'm just sighing. If Xia didn't do it because of
Brother Eleven would have been so stubborn, so he would not have committed all kinds of wrong things, harmed one after another, and finally forced himself to die!"
"Let's not mention Wei Xiuyan, just talk about what happened in the past few years. She collaborated with the third elder brother and the rebel gang to harm the twelfth elder brother, causing countless soldiers to die at the hands of the rebel gang; seeing that the twelfth elder brother is not dead yet
, and came up with the idea of using witch puppets
He came to harm his master, his twelfth elder brother, and his fifteenth elder brother." Qi Kuan paused for a moment and continued: "I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but the Xia family's crimes are too numerous to describe. If the princess hadn't begged for death, the emperor would have given the Xia family the gift.
capital offense."
He Jia was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "So, do you all think that E Niang deserves to die?"
Qi Kuan sighed: "I just think that let her let the past go. Thinking about it too much will only increase her troubles."
Hearing what he said, He Jia suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that the person who talked about this matter was my father-in-law and not me?"
Qi Kuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "I'm the slave who talks too much, but I'm also the slave..."
He Jia interrupted him, "I know my father-in-law is reminding me not to indulge in E Niang's suicide, but my father-in-law has worried too much, and I am fine. As my father-in-law said, it is useless to think about the past; in fact,
I am already very lucky. Although E Niang and Eleventh Brother are gone, I still have Huang Eniang and Twelfth Brother who love me. Others are not as lucky as me."
Qi Kuan smiled and said: "If the princess thinks so, I can rest assured. If the princess has no instructions, I will resign immediately."
"Wait a minute." He Jia stopped him and said, "Just now, my father-in-law said that he would go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to explain something. I wonder what it is about?"
Qi Kuan lowered his eyes and said: "The Queen Mother remembered the Queen Mother's phoenix body, so she reported it to the Emperor and decided to lead all the concubines to Yongqing Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow."
"That's it." Hejia nodded and said, "Then I will go tomorrow and pray for the emperor's grandmother with Huang's mother and the others."
