No one knew who stole Sang Nu's coffin. Because of Sang Nu's death in the outer courtyard, Jiang Yue withdrew the guards, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen.
"Brother Yue, how do you want to explain to the master?"
This was their fault in doing things, and Jiang Zhe would definitely blame them.
Jiang Yue rubbed his face. He was so worried that he didn't sleep well last night. Today he had two dark circles under his eyes and looked very decadent.
"try to find!"
Who would steal a concubine's coffin? Jiang Yue asked someone to find it, but he had no clue. The guards had no choice but to obey.
In the backyard of the Jiang Mansion, where no one was aware, a group of people quietly left under the cover of night. The leader carried a sack. Although the contents could not be seen, he could vaguely tell that it was a person.
"Let's go back and talk to the master."
After Sannu passed away, news of encountering enemies at the border reached the capital.
Jiang Miao frowned as she read the news from the secret guard.
"Why did Sannu die?"
She had only met Sannu a few times, but it could be seen that she was in good health and did not appear to have died young.
Birthmark...poisoning...
Jiang Miao thought of the butterfly birthmark on Sannu's wrist, and she knew the answer.
She probably suffered from a dystocia and suffered a poisoning, and she was not rescued in the end.
Jiang Miao sighed in her heart. Speaking of it, Sannu was also a pitiful person. She was just a pawn in Jiang Ru's hands and was forced to be involved in this dispute. But without Jiang Ru, she would still be a prostitute in Jiangnan. There is no telling what the outcome would be.
better.
"Where is the child?"
The child Sangnu gave birth to was her biological half-brother. Perhaps because Sangnu looked similar to her original body, Jiang Miao felt a little pity for her.
"Now she is being cared for by the guards of the Jiang Mansion. I'm afraid she will be raised by Aunt Zhao in the future."
Shen Yanqing has more complete information, and he can answer everything Jiang Miao doesn't know.
"What a pity."
If left to Aunt Zhao, the child would probably not end well. After all, Aunt Zhao herself is pregnant. When she gives birth to a healthy child, Jiang Zhe will naturally know what choice to make.
Jiang Miao was in a low mood, and the child was the most pitiful. He was also poisoned, and he didn't know if he could survive.
The original father said he was sentimental, but in fact he was the most ruthless. He just had no feelings for the original owner. Even Jiang Ru, who had been doted on for more than ten years, could be cruelly kicked out of the house. There was also Sannu's child, a frail and motherless child.
, destined not to be favored by his father.
Jiang Miao felt uncomfortable and simply stopped looking at the Jiang family's affairs. She collected the letter and asked Shen Yanqing.
"How's it going over there, Brother Guo?"
Ever since she remembered that Guo Zhao would become a general in the future, Jiang Miao couldn't help but pay attention to him.
Now that the military general Jiang Zhe's family is the dominant one in the DPRK, Jiang Miao has to support a new military general for the sake of her mother's happiness.
Mentioning Guo Zhao, Shen Yanqing's eyes flashed with admiration.
He was a quasi-brother-in-law who was brave and resourceful. He served in the army for less than two years and made consecutive meritorious deeds. This time he also saved the grain depot and saved thousands of soldiers from starvation.
"Oh? What did Brother Guo do?"
Jiang Miao became interested when she heard that Guo Zhao had made great achievements. She knew that Guo Zhao would be a general in the future, but she didn't know the point and reason for his promotion.
"He led his men to stop the enemy troops in Xixia. Those people were going to burn the grain depots. There is a shortage of grain and grass at the border. If the enemy succeeds, the soldiers will starve to death."
The food supplies for the Shen family have not yet been delivered. If there is a shortage of food at the border, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Moreover, he also captured Tuoba Mingge's cronies and got a lot of information out of them."
The battle at the border suffered heavy losses and was besieged by Xixia and several small countries at the same time. The Yan Dynasty suffered thousands of casualties. Guo Zhao captured Tuoba Mingge's cronies and pried out many Xixia secrets from him.
Jiang Zhe saw Guo Zhao's ability and directly promoted him to deputy general. As Yuan Lang was away, Guo Zhao took his place.
"Should the clothes, food and grass be arriving soon?"
Jiang Miao counted the days and found that the convoy had been traveling for more than half a month and should be able to deliver it before the year.
The snowstorm in the dream was about to happen, and the border was hit hard again. Jiang Miao was worried. Xixia and the surrounding small countries were watching with covetous eyes, and they might not let go of the people of the Yan Dynasty.
"It's almost there. They don't dare to delay on the way. It will definitely be in time."
Shen Yanqing told the team leader that it must be delivered before the New Year's Eve, and that he should bring the people back as soon as possible.
If there is a snowstorm at the border, these people have never experienced snowy weather, and they may get into trouble if they stay at the border, so leaving early and returning early is the best policy.
"Well, I hope so."
The two of them stood in front of the window, Jiang Miao nestled in Shen Yanqing's arms, looking at the scenery outside the window.
It snowed again yesterday, and there were sharp and long icicles hanging on the eaves, making it look very cold.
Jiang Miao shrank back, and Shen Yanqing hugged her tightly. The two looked very close.
Qinglian lowered her head and saw this scene when she entered the room. She felt a little reluctant to disturb her, but Jiang Miao saw her first.
"What's wrong?"
"Replying to the master, it is Eunuch Jixiang who is beside the emperor who has sent a letter, inviting you and your Excellency to go to the food court to eat hot pot, and asking you to call Princess Mingzhen and Madam Xu."
"I understand. You go back to my father-in-law. My husband and I will go over right away."
"Why."
Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing looked at each other, wondering why the emperor was thinking of setting up a game.
They often get together with the Xu family brothers and sisters. Xu Ziwen is usually very leisurely in the Hanlin Academy. Xu Zilan is busy with the family business. When she gets bored, she takes Jiang Miao and Zhao Mingzhen to go shopping and then eat. Shen Yanqing and Xu Ziwen are both like that Help with getting things and paying for them.
Zhao Jing has also been with them, mostly at the eldest princess's residence, and this is the first time for them to go out alone.
The two of them were afraid that he would wait too long, so they simply packed up and headed to the hot pot restaurant. The Xu brothers and sisters and Zhao Mingzhen also set off confusedly. When they arrived at the hot pot restaurant, Zhao Jing was already waiting in the box.
Eunuch Jixiang welcomed several people up. The window of the box was a floor-to-ceiling window, inlaid with glass. Outside was the noisy street scene. Zhao Jing was sitting on a chair, drinking tea comfortably. He came out for a private visit incognito, wearing an embroidered suit. Wearing black clothes with golden auspicious clouds and a jade crown on his head, he restrained his aura and looked like a noble prince.
Several people came in together. He raised his head and glanced at Xu Zilan without leaving a trace. He saw that she was dressed in green clothes with only a jade hairpin on her head, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
Well, they all chose jade jewelry by accident.
Several people bowed and Zhao Jing waved his hand to let them sit down. Xu Zilan lowered her head and sat at the farthest place from him. Zhao Jing let out a light tut, and a trace of regret quickly flashed across his face.
Jiang Miao unceremoniously pulled Shen Yanqing to sit down, poured herself and him a cup of tea, and then asked Zhao Jing.
"Why does my cousin want to call us to get together?"
