Chapter 458 It’s still early!
Jiang An's words received no response. The little girl, who was already on the verge of becoming angry, was now just one more piece of firewood away.
As luck would have it, he actually sent it to me.
The little girl grabbed the doctor's collar and took advantage of the stool beside the bed to lift him up. "Let me ask you, how is his injury?"
The doctor's feet left the ground, and his squinted old eyes finally opened...
"You...you are such a rascal, little girl!"
"An An, calm down..."
The people who were originally waiting outside swarmed in and carefully stroked the ancestor's fur.
It was the young apprentice who reacted quickly. He quickly hugged his master's waist and said loudly at the risk of being beaten: "This young man didn't hurt his bones, but the wound is too deep. He will definitely not be able to hold a pen for nearly three months!"
"There are three more guards. My uncle is already watching. You... you let my master go!"
By the end of this sentence, his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
The little girl loosened her hand and put the man back to the ground.
As soon as she let go, Li Xingsang hurried forward to send the doctor out.
Only Qi Shanyuan and Jiang An were left in the room...
"Don't worry..."
Qi Shanyuan smiled calmly and comforted the angry girl, "The wound medicine of the palace doctor is the best in the world. I will definitely be able to hold a pen in less than three months."
"Ah."
Jiang An responded in a deep voice, "I'll ask the old man to prescribe some tranquilizers for you. You should have a good rest."
She didn't want Yuanyuan to get hurt and worry about her, so she found an excuse to leave the house.
Outside the palace, the crowing of roosters filled half the sky...
The candles in the house were still lit.
In the main hall, Jiang An sat in the first seat, and Wu Heting sat on her other side, looking tired.
Li Xingsang and Huo Changming were both there. Outside the hall, the royal guards took off their servant clothes and stood in the yard with broadswords in their hands.
Jiang An placed the teacup beside her and played with it leisurely.
In the silent hall, only her voice rang out, "Go..."
"Yes!"
At Jiang An's command, the guards filed out of the mansion gate, scattered in all directions, and hid in the alleys and lanes.
There are guards in the open, and there are also secret guards summoned by Jiang An in the dark.
The secret guards first sneaked into Qi and Bai's mansions, knocked out the servant guarding the gate, and then opened the door wide to welcome the bride's soldiers into the mansion!
The two sides cooperated and carried out Jiang An's instructions.
In the Qi and Bai mansions, all men had their right hands cut off.
She sent over a hundred guards, and with the help of the secret guards, they came out of the mansion in just an incense stick of time...
It was almost dawn, the city gates were not open yet, and there were not many people walking on the streets. It was also the time when the guards in each prefecture were the most lax, so no one noticed the unusual situation in the two prefectures.
During this period, Wu Heting had advised...
But Jiang An felt that these two families were not innocent.
They knew that the Queen Mother was determined to get the son-in-law. If she really didn't want to marry into the royal family, why didn't she let the two ministers and vice ministers directly choose a good son-in-law and pick an auspicious day for the wedding? Why did she let her daughter choose a son-in-law on the street?
However, she felt that if she personally came forward to discuss the marriage, others might think she was standing against Empress Dowager Xie; that's why she let her daughter come forward, and she just said that the little girl was naughty and had a bad character, and was not fit to be a royal wife.
Being accused of a crime and having one's salary fined is already the heaviest punishment.
They don't care at all about what happens to these students chosen by their daughter!
Jiang An met Wu Heting's eyes. Those round eyes were clear and transparent, yet at this moment, they were tinged with ferocity. She asked him, "Do the Shangshu and Shilang really want to marry their daughter to a powerless student?"
Or maybe I just want to show my attitude...
From the beginning of the imperial examination to the end, he claimed that he had not selected anyone he was satisfied with.
Their daughters can still marry into a family of equal status!
The only ones who were hurt in the whole incident were the powerless students who were the target of the empress dowager's anger!
The little girl sent someone from the secret team to investigate, and found that ten students in Beijing had disappeared in the past few days...
On one side are Empress Dowager Xie and officials from the Ministry of Personnel, and on the other side are poor students in the capital who have no relatives. The prefect of Kyoto probably doesn't even need to make a choice, he naturally knows what to do.
After hearing Jiang An's words, Wu Heting had nothing to say.
As for whether it would be exposed that they were the ones who did this after doing this...
The little girl just snorted and laughed, "I've already said it before, if you mess with me, I'll smash the pot with you!"
Don't you want to avoid conflict?
She wanted to see whether Qi and Bai's current appearance would make them vent their anger on the Queen Mother!
By the time the news that the right hands of the Minister of Personnel and the Vice Minister were broken spread throughout the capital, the personal soldiers sent by Jiang An had already gone home to catch up on their sleep.
At the Dingyuan Marquis's residence, the marquis's wife heard the news and called for the guards who had participated in the search for Qi Shanyuan and others last night to reply.
"You said that one of the two gentlemen had his right hand injured?"
Guard: “Indeed!”
"Those beggars were protecting them. I thought it was strange and I took a few extra glances when I left."
It seems like this is the little girl's revenge~
Madam Hou laughed out loud, "What a joy! What a joy!"
She likes people who take revenge immediately when they have a grudge!
"Qingyu, have you prepared the list I asked you to prepare?"
The maid who was called came forward, with a look of caution and cheerfulness between her brows, different from the others, "It's ready..."
She presented them to the Madam, "According to Madam's instructions, they are all from clean families with good character, and will definitely not wrong the two young ladies of the official families!"
"and…"
She smiled wickedly, "I have inquired carefully, and I have found that she is more or less stubborn. I will never indulge the two young ladies."
The wife of the Marquis's mansion straightened her dress and said, "Let's go, let's go to these two mansions to pay a visit and act as a matchmaker!"
"Yes!"
Others were afraid of Queen Mother Xie, but she was not.
Since she was young, she often went to the palace with her parents. At that time, Empress Dowager Xie was not even the queen and only lived in the East Palace.
Who is her Xie family? She still has to curry favor with her father and mother when she meets them!
Even though her parents are no longer alive, her achievements and tablets are still written in the royal ancestral temple, and she is still blessed by her parents!
The people in the capital were afraid of her not because she was the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, but because she was her parents’ daughter, their only child…
She inherited all the glory from her ancestors!
It's hard for the Qi and Bai families. The trouble here is not over yet, and even bigger trouble is coming over there~
Who made the people around Empress Dowager Xie so good at choosing and selecting the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to take the scapegoat?
In this short day, I heard that the Qi and Bai families each had a marriage, and I also heard that two eunuchs died in the palace of Empress Dowager Xie...
As for whether this matter is over or not...
Jiang An, who was preparing to welcome guests at home, said that it was still early!
