Chapter 385 Miss Deng is Miss Xie
Chapter 385 Miss Deng is Miss Xie
Empress Dowager Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for those means, she would be more certain of her guess.
But she was concerned about something else at the moment.
"Qing'er, did you think of something just now?"
Although she trusted him, there were still some things she had to make clear to her. Once Doctor Wu's identity was exposed, troubles would ensue.
Yuan Qing thought for a moment and said, "I have roughly guessed his identity. I know the seriousness of this matter and will not disclose it casually, but..."
Just now, through Doctor Wu, she seemed to have thought of something in a trance.
"Just what?" Queen Dowager Yuan continued to ask.
"I'm not sure yet. I just suspect that he has some relationship with a friend of mine. But when I think about it carefully, it's not such a coincidence. Maybe I'm overthinking it."
She didn't see Doctor Wu's entire face clearly, but she had a vague feeling, so she couldn't be sure whether he had any relationship with Lao Ba.
She knew that Lao Ba had been looking for his father, but Lao Ba's background was so special that she couldn't even find the existence of any alien.
How easy is it to find someone who has been disguising himself all year round in such a vast crowd of people?
So Lao Ba's case has been shelved and there has been no clue ever since.
If Empress Dowager Yuan could help investigate, perhaps it would be more efficient than her.
Empress Dowager Yuan smiled and nodded. "I've asked Madam Zhou to clean up the room. You will live in the palace until the result comes out. Fortunately, it is convenient in the palace. If you want to leave the palace, you can bring more people with you and go out openly without hiding your identity."
It seemed that Wen Chengyu had already found a reason for her sudden appearance, so she really didn't have to worry anymore.
Yuan Qing bid farewell to Empress Dowager Yuan and walked to the door when Nanny Zhou suddenly asked, "Miss Shang, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?"
She deliberately raised her voice to alert the people in the temple.
Yuan Qing paused.
The voice outside the door sounded softly, "Madame Zhou, how are you? I heard that the Queen Mother couldn't sleep well at night, so I personally made a bowl of soup and sent it to you. Since the Queen Mother has gone to bed, I won't disturb you. I'll trouble Madame Zhou to bring the soup in for me."
She said and was about to leave.
Looking at the person who had returned, Empress Dowager Yuan showed confusion on her face.
Yuan Qing smiled awkwardly, "There's someone outside the door, I'll leave later."
Empress Dowager Yuan thought about it for a while, then smiled, "I've heard that Miss Shangjia and Gong Xiaowu had some entanglement, but who would have thought that the mischievous Gong Xiaowu, who was rumored to be so naughty, was actually a girl."
Yuan Qing was helpless. "Aunt, please don't laugh at me about this. Miss Shang's reputation has been wantonly damaged by her brother. I am already very uncomfortable with her being implicated, not to mention..."
Having said that, she sighed softly.
She could feel that Shang Rui had a favorable impression of her identity.
It was not because of her reputation, but that the girl was too persistent. Even Rong Yi and Gong Chan, who knew the truth, could not bear it. Whenever she saw her shining eyes, she would always feel guilty and could only avoid her.
She was so anxious to enter the palace that she actually forgot that Shang Rui was in the palace.
Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away outside the door, Yuan Qing poked his head out.
Nanny Zhou suppressed her laughter and said, "Don't worry, come out. She's gone."
Nanny Zhou took the soup brought by Shang Rui inside, leaving Yuan Qing alone waiting outside the door.
Unexpectedly, Shang Rui, who had already left, came back, and the two of them bumped into each other unexpectedly.
Yuan Qing was only thinking about not letting her see his face, and secretly thought that it was really karma. He had just been teasing Doctor Wu, and now it was his turn.
Shang Rui bowed politely, "Your servant greets the Queen Mother."
"Get up, no need to be polite."
Shang Rui stood up and saw Concubine Qing in front of him, leaning sideways, as if looking at the Empress Dowager's palace.
The small half of the face that was exposed was illuminated by the soft light, and looked very much like the person she often saw in her dreams.
Shang Rui shook his head, trying to drive away his chaotic thoughts.
She has already entered the palace, and her future is no longer under her control. She has clearly decided to forget, so why does she have to remember it at this moment?
Is God really playing a trick on her?
Shang Rui hid the bitterness in her eyes, bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."
Yuan Qing responded lightly, but his heart was heavy.
During the few days in the palace, Yuan Qing tried not to go out, let alone stay with Empress Dowager Yuan. He just waited for the results of Doctor Wu's diagnosis and then left the palace immediately.
At least we can reduce the number of times we meet outside the palace.
As soon as I walked out of the palace, I ran into an unexpected person.
Princess He Yong rode in a carriage and rushed into the palace.
Yuan Qing quickly dodged and avoided a collision between the two carriages.
There were many spies in the palace, and it was inconvenient for her to summon her own people, so during the past few days in the palace, she basically did not hear any news from outside the palace.
Seeing Princess He Yong rushing into the palace, her heart sank.
I'm afraid something unexpected has happened in the capital again.
After walking for a while, Yuan Qing knew the reason.
The affairs of the Deng and Xie families were exposed one after another, and now Deng Chong has become even more crazy. He can't even recognize his parents. He travels back and forth on the mountain path of Guiyuan Temple every day with disheveled hair.
I think Princess He Yong entered the palace for this very matter.
Yuan Qing changed his clothes halfway and rode directly to the store to find Jiang Shu.
Jiang Qisheng was still staying in the store doing odd jobs, and the relationship between the aunt and nephew seemed to be much more harmonious than before.
"Second brother!" Yuan Qing shouted into the house as soon as he entered the door.
Jiang Shu grabbed her and looked her up and down, "Is everything ok?"
"I'm fine, everything is fine." Yuan Qing panted anxiously, "People on the street say that Miss Deng is the Third Miss Xie Wan?"
Jiang Shu lowered his arms and sighed helplessly, "You know."
Then he took her into the house.
"Deng Chong was so reckless when he went crazy that he even dragged Xie Wan into the rumors. Many people made blind guesses and said all kinds of things. There were too many unbearable words to count."
Yuan Qing's face darkened. "In fact, what I'm most worried about is more than that. Xie Wan and Deng Chong have been dragged into the rumors. I'm afraid that even the long-dead Miss Xie will not be able to rest in peace."
Miss Xie was involved in the crime committed by Jiang Chengfeng. It would be fine if Jiang Chengfeng and Chen Xingwei, those filthy fellows, died, but Miss Xie was innocent. Chen Xingwei's behavior was simply disgusting!
Jiang Shu held her hand and said, "Don't think too much. These things are not under your control. If someone wants to destroy the Xie and Deng families, they will naturally be deliberate. You can't prevent it no matter how hard you try."
Her surname is Jiang, and the evildoer is her blood brother. Whenever she thinks of this, she wishes she could drain all her blood.
But she still had to go back with this name and this blood, so no matter how disgusting it was, she had to endure it and suppress it.
She hated those people more than anyone else, inside and out.
Yuan Qing glanced out the window, "What should we do with him?"
"He refused to leave, and there was nothing I could do. I couldn't chase him away." Jiang Shu rolled his eyes toward the window. "Although he is better than those bugs, he is really thick-skinned."
She did not hide her voice. Yuan Qing clearly saw Jiang Qisheng's body stiffen. He obviously heard it, but he still worked silently.
"Okay, since he doesn't want to leave, then give him some more time to think it over. He will not lose a cent of what he should bear."
The Jiang family seems to be in unrest right now, so there's no point in Jiang Qisheng going back. It would be better for him to stay here and help Jiang Shu.
But some people can't stay any longer.
……
He went into the palace with Princess Yong and returned to the Princess's Mansion exhausted.
Someone came to report: "Master, there is a woman outside the door who claims to be surnamed Liu and wants to see you."
Princess He Yong suddenly regained her breath, and her long nails dug into her palms.
Didn't she think she hadn't hurt them enough?
He came to her at the height of the crisis, could it be that he was begging for mercy for that bastard of hers?
She calmed her breath a few times, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said coldly: "Let her in."
She wanted to see what tricks Liu was trying to play.
She failed to stop them at the beginning, and this time she will never let these people harm her beloved ones again!
Liu followed the maid into the mansion. She didn't dare to look up all the way and just followed silently.
It was not until she walked into the house and saw a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes and gorgeous skirt hems that she came to her senses and knelt down tremblingly.
Princess He Yong raised her eyelids slightly, looked at her humble attitude, and smiled contemptuously, "Madam, are you here to show off your deep mother-son love in front of me again?"
