Chapter 274 Run
"How can so many people stare at it? When did you run? Why did you report it now?" Jiang Ting was furious after hearing the news and suddenly threw the cup in her hand on the table and turned it into a handful of broken porcelain.
"Princess Concubine!" Chuntao, who was waiting beside her, exclaimed, grabbed Jiang Ting's hand that had been punctured by broken porcelain pieces, and her eyes were full of pity and said eagerly to Xia He, who was surrounded at the same time, "Go get the trauma medicine!"
Xia He's tears fell down, nodded quickly and rushed out to the medicine library to get the medicine.
Jiang Ting frowned and glanced at her bleeding palm. She didn't care about Chuntao, who was helping her pick porcelain pieces from her wound. She still stared at Yu An, who came to report, and asked, "What's going on?"
Yu An's eyelids stared at the blood that was still dripping on the ground, but his tone replied smoothly and clearly: "This afternoon, the black bodyguard beside the prince went to Dongyuan and said that the prince wanted to see Master Xi. The slaves couldn't stop him, so Yu Ping followed him. I thought there would be no problem. But they hadn't come back yet at dinner. I felt that things were different, so I took someone to look for it. As a result, Yu Ping, who was knocked unconscious, was only found in the garden of Dongyuan, but Master Xi was not found. After being rescued, Yu Ping said that he was knocked unconscious and didn't even see who the murderer was. I asked Jing Ruitang's porter and said that Master Xi had never gone to the prince at all. The slave did a bad job and asked the princess to punish him.
Jiang Ting took a deep breath, exhaled, and then inhaled and exhaled, at least suppressed the churning anger in her chest. She pondered for a while, looked up and said to Yu An, who knelt on the ground to receive the punishment, "Ok, I know about this. Since it was done by the prince, you can't stop it. You go back and let someone take good care of Yu Ping. You don't have to keep an eye on Dongyuan. You divide some manpower to keep an eye on Beiyuan. Beiyuan can't make such a mistake anymore, understand?"
Yu An hurriedly kowtowed and took the lead: "I understand."
Yu An retreated. Xia He came in with the medicine box and had ordered the little girl to prepare warm water to apply medicine to Jiang Ting. Jiang Ting waved her hand and asked Xia He to put down the medicine box and told her, "Go to Mother Zheng and ask her to call Zhao Xi to see me. Ask him to come quietly and don't disturb others.
Xia He was stunned, bowed quickly, and then ran out to send a message to Mother Zheng.
Jiang Ting took a deep breath again, and only felt that her heart ached. At such an urgent time, what does the prince want to do when he takes people out?
That Liu Xi is as stupid as a donkey except for his vicious thoughts! Does he think that the current fool will have a way to live if he goes to the eldest prince? How can such a decisive and fierce figure as the eldest prince have such a useless fool? If the eldest prince could walk through, how could the prince come in for marrying her for Liu Yao? Just because of the old grievances between the Jingwang Mansion and the Huguo Mansion, there is no place for the Jingwang Mansion to stand there!
After a long time, when Jiang Ting was about to be angry and wanted to urge, Mother Zheng finally came in and reported, "Princess, stewor Zhao is here."
When Jiang Ting heard the words, she held the table and got up, but forgot that her palm had just been injured. Suddenly, she breathed coldly because of the pressure on the wound. After seeing the white bandage wrapped in her hand, Mother Zheng couldn't help asking, "Princess, what's wrong with your hand?"
Jiang Ting was not in the mood to explain. She waved her hand directly to indicate that she was fine, and then went straight to the study room in the front courtyard. Mother Zheng waited for Jiang Ting to walk forward and deliberately grabbed Chuntao and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Why did the princess get hurt?
When Xia He went to find her before, he did not say anything about Jiang Ting's injury, let alone tell her that Liu Xi had run away. Although Jiang Ting trusted the two big maids and two M Mothers around her. But as long as there is no order from her, they still dare not disclose some information to each other at will. Because they all know that the imperial concubine is very kind to her servants. But once she breaks her rules, she won't spare anyone.
Chuntao shook her head: "M Mother, don't ask first. The concubine is really angry this time."
M Mother Zheng understood, nodded to indicate that she understood, and then let Chuntao follow. She stood still and thought for a moment, and then asked someone to gather the girls who were serving in the yard tonight. Since the princess doesn't want to be known, she has to beat the girls again and can't spread the injury to other courtyards. Especially in those rooms in Beiyuan, listening to the gossip of those women, some of those rooms seem to be unstable.
Jiang Ting quietly came all the way to the front courtyard study, and Zhao Xi had already waited in the study. Looking at Zhao Xi's black outfit, Jiang Ting nodded and said directly, "Liu Xi ran away this afternoon. In terms of time, he should not have left the city yet. You have someone guarding several gates, and you must stop him tomorrow.
Zhao Xi's face sank as soon as he heard it and said to Jiang Ting, "Girl, something happened at the South Gate this afternoon. I almost made a big mess and closed the gate an hour late."
What a coincidence? No, how can it be a coincidence? Jiang Ting clenched her fists in anger and didn't even feel the pain of cracking the wound.
"So it seems that someone has to send him away." Jiang Ting gritted her teeth and said, "It's the South City Gate. Are you going south to join the army? He doesn't have the courage. Zhao Xi, if I didn't expect it wrong, Liu Xi will definitely go around to the north and go to the capital. Are we many people on the way from Xingyuan to Beijing?
Zhao Xi thought for a moment and replied, "In order to facilitate communication with the capital in the future, you have set up the Civil Information Bureau in several big cities along the way. However, except for a few shopkeepers, most of the rest are not our own hands, but they can also be used.
Jiang Ting nodded and looked at Zhao Xi and said solemnly, "I'll leave this matter to you. Anyway, you can't let Liu Xi go to the eldest prince, otherwise everything the prince has done will be in vain. If you intercept him halfway... don't stay."
Zhao Xi lowered his eyes and nodded in response, and suddenly the scene when he first saw the girl a few years ago came to his mind. At that time, she was still a child, but she was holding a heavy kitchen knife in one hand, with a cold and frightening light in her eyes, which made people dare not look directly at it as much as now. It turns out that the girl has never changed from beginning to end.
"Girl, what if he goes south?" They have little manpower in the south. If Liu Xi really goes all the way south, they can't stop them anyway.
Jiang Ting snorted: "He is looking for death when he goes south. Even if he bypassed the army led by the son and defected to the south, he was just looking for death. Even if he wants to enter the southern Xinjiang with the half of the Miao blood flowing from his body, he will die under the pest poison of the Miao people. I can't wait for him to go south!"
