The muddy water instantly splashed the hem of her clothes, but the driver of the carriage didn't even look back or say an apology.
Seeing this situation, Cui Qiao immediately wanted to go up and argue.
But Jiang Nianjiao just felt that too much time was wasted here, and she didn't know how much time would be wasted if she started arguing again, so she reached out and grabbed Cui Qiao who wanted to argue.
"Cui Qiao, forget it. I have to change out of my official uniform anyway, so let's get in the car first. As for this set of clothes, I'll have the servants wash them before returning them to Brother Xu."
With Jiang Nianjiao's words, Cui Qiao naturally stopped talking. After the two got on the carriage, Jiang Nianjiao only said to the driver, "Let's go to the palace today. I want to see if the Queen is awake."
As soon as she heard that Jiang Nianjiao was going to see the Queen, Cui Qiao was unwilling to do so.
Empress Min didn't want to see Jiang Nianjiao, and coupled with Concubine Yuxian's incident, Cui Qiao secretly felt that Jiang Nianjiao shouldn't get too close to the empress.
After all, respect is mutual.
What's the point of having a hot face and a cold butt like this?
But she was not a coachman, and Jiang Nianjiao didn't like to hear what she said, so although she was unhappy, she still let Jiang Nianjiao go.
After Jiang Nianjiao got on the carriage, she took off her official uniform and put on a woman's outfit again.
After changing her clothes and tying her hair again, she just opened the curtain and took a look outside.
Unexpectedly, she opened the curtain and saw that the carriage that had just overtaken them had been driving right in front of them.
There were some tortoise shells and wind chimes hanging on the back of the carriage, and there were also some tinkling sounds among the rumble of the carriage, which was quite interesting.
Moreover, judging from the shape of the carriage, it is still a palace carriage, so could the people in this carriage also be from the palace?
There was nothing to buy around Zongzheng Temple, or there were ministers to contact, so at the moment, Jiang Nianjiao could only think that this group of people were going to Zongzheng Temple.
But Jiang Nianjiao didn't care. After all, Zongzheng Temple also imprisoned some princes and grandsons who had made mistakes. It was not surprising that some nobles from the palace came to visit them if they were not safe.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao only took one look and lowered the curtain.
Afterwards, the carriage drove for about half an hour, and Jiang Nianjiao arrived at Chengtian Square outside Yutianmen.
Because carriages outside the palace were not allowed to enter or leave the palace, Jiang Nianjiao could only park the carriage in Chengtianmen Square.
Because the palace carriage was a palace carriage, it happened to part ways with Jiang Nianjiao and go to the Sixth Palace in the West.
Because there was still a long way to go from West Sixth Palace, Jiang Nianjiao just changed to a soft sedan, and then she was carried to Fengchen Palace.
In this short period of time, Queen Min was still awake. Jiang Nianjiao said she came to visit Queen Min, but in fact, she was just sitting in the palace watching Queen Min and the palace staff of Fengchen Palace go about their business.
Moreover, there was a female medical officer on duty today, so Jiang Nianjiao's eyes naturally turned to the female medical officer.
I saw the female medical officer wearing plain private clothes, with a thin figure and cold eyes.
If she hadn't been diagnosing the pulse and preparing a medical kit, Jiang Nianjiao would have almost thought that someone from the palace had sneaked in.
And it seemed that the person who came to treat Queen Min a few days ago was not this person. The female medical officer looked very unfamiliar, which made Jiang Nianjiao even more wary of the female medical officer's condition.
Because her aunt was often sick, Jiang Nianjiao often volunteered to run errands, so she was very aware of the situation in the Imperial Hospital. In particular, there were very few female medical officers in the palace, so she became even more familiar with the faces of these female medical officers.
So when the female medical officer suddenly took out a silver needle and was about to prick Queen Min's palm, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but said, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Nianjiao's scolding made the female medical officer's hands tremble in fright, and she almost punctured the wrong part.
She just glanced at Jiang Nianjiao coldly and said, "I'm trying to get the toxins out of your body."
Jiang Nianjiao was unconvinced and said, "Is there anyone who is so poisonous as you? And I think you are very cool."
When the female medical officer heard this, she suddenly sneered, "I can't do it, how can a girl do it?"
Jiang Nianjiao wanted to argue a few words, but Qiu Wan left just at this moment.
When she came in, she saw Jiang Nianjiao arguing with Madam Qiu, so she quickly came out and explained, "Gillian, Madam Qiu is the miraculous doctor outside the palace that we specially invited to treat your empress."
Then she said to Madam Qiu, "Madam, please don't be surprised. Our Miss Jiang has never seen you before, so she is just worried about Madam."
With Qiu Wan coming forward, Jiang Nianjiao naturally realized that it was just a misunderstanding, and it was not easy for her to get angry for a while.
But Madam Qiu was looking Jiang Nianjiao up and down at this moment and said, "Is she the girl that Prince Jin is going to marry in the future?"
Qiu Wan nodded, "That's right."
Mrs. Qiu then commented coldly, "It looks like he is short-lived."
As soon as she said these words, Jiang Nianjiao was so angry that her face almost darkened.
Qiu Wan obviously didn't want any friction between Jiang Nianjiao and Madam Qiu, so she took the initiative and said, "Miss Jiang, are you here to see me? If we have anything to say, let's talk outside first, and then let Madam Qiu take the place of Madam Qiu first. See a doctor."
While saying this, Qiu Wan just led Jiang Nianjiao outside.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but be shocked when she heard Qiu Wan's words. She didn't care to argue with Mrs. Qiu. After all, she didn't tell Qiu Wan the purpose of coming here, but she knew immediately that she was here to find her. Okay, this sensitivity is really shocking.
However, Jiang Nianjiao originally planned to be honest, so after a brief moment of surprise, she calmed down and said, "I do have something I want to see you for, but I wonder if we can find a secluded place to chat?"
When Jiang Nianjiao spoke, she only looked at the people in the palace. Qiu Wan naturally understood what Jiang Nianjiao meant. She nodded and just led the way forward.
The two arrived at a side hall of Fengchen Palace. Since there was no one living in the side hall, the palace officials left after cleaning the place in the early morning.
So there are only two guards guarding the door.
But even so, after entering the side hall, Qiu Wan sent the two guards to rest in the courtyard not far away, while Cui Qiao consciously guarded the door for them.
After closing the door of the side hall, the light in the room dimmed instantly.
But this dimness also makes people feel more at ease.
Jiang Nianjiao thought about it for a moment, but the first thing she said was, "Have you received any letters from Your Highness recently?"
Naturally, this letter had come before, but unfortunately, there was no part of King Jin's letter that was specially reserved for Jiang Nianjiao.
And Qiu Wan had already calculated that Jiang Nianjiao would definitely come and ask her about this one day.
Therefore, Qiu Wan was extremely calm when facing this matter. She shook her head and only showed a worried look, "There has been no news from His Highness for many days, and we are also very worried."
Naturally, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't find any flaws in Qiu Wan's face.
Although she was worried about Zhao Yanzhen's safety. But this was not the real purpose of her trip, so after a few words of greeting, she got straight to the point and asked, "Actually, I'm not here just to ask you this. What I really want to ask is about the northern suburbs that day." Did you specially arrange the assassin at the prayer meeting?"
Qiu Wan obviously didn't expect that Jiang Nianjiao would continue to ask about the prayer meeting in the northern suburbs. She couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable and said, "Didn't I tell the girl everything that happened that day? Why would the girl still think about asking questions? About this?"
Jiang Nianjiao didn't talk nonsense. She only whispered, "The assassin who assassinated your majesty that day came from my aunt's palace. For this reason, your majesty banned my aunt's feet and allowed no one to visit. He also arrested my aunt's Aunt Yaoping, Miss Qiuwan." As an old man in the palace, you won’t be so ill-informed, right?”
After hearing this, Qiu Wan lowered her eyelids. It seemed that His Highness's considerations were not unreasonable. No matter how much Jiang Nianjiao liked him, if she had to choose between His Highness and her aunt, she would only choose herself. aunt.
After thinking about this, Qiu Wan only showed a clear smile, "Of course we have heard about this. There are many people in this palace, and there are always some arrangements in each palace without knowing the details. This is really a pain for your aunt and Na Yao." Aunt Ping. But after all, His Majesty still relies on the Gao family, and I think he will definitely not wrong your aunt. If we investigate this matter, it will become clear."
"Miss Qiuwan, I am telling you this because I believe you. Otherwise, I could have said nothing and then secretly investigated. Moreover, I came to ask you because the investigation has led to you, Qiuwan.
Girl, someone has seen you interacting with Qu Pu in private. I don’t remember that Aunt Qiu Wan from Fengchen Palace would have any interactions with a little-known palace servant from Yuxiu Palace, so I hope you can answer me honestly. "
Hearing this, Qiu Wan was naturally irrefutable. Even if she didn't tell the truth, Jiang Nianjiao would find out who Feng Chengong was responsible for sooner or later. Now that she could ask directly, it was obvious that she was still on her side, so instead of telling the truth afterwards, After being found out, there is no room for change. It is better to tell the truth and seek a chance at this moment.
Therefore, after a brief silence, Qiu Wan could only say softly, "You are right, the assassin is indeed one of ours, but the reason why I did it was not to frame your aunt, I just wanted to control the time of the assassination so that the queen can Precisely estimate the timing of His Highness’s assassination.”
"And that female assassin was already the one we arranged to stay in Yeting before Yaoping took her into Yuxiu Palace, but we didn't expect Yaoping to bring her into Yuxiu Palace."
"It is not easy to train a dead soldier. We only have this one chess piece at our disposal, so we used Qupu. I just didn't expect that this matter would turn into a basin of dirty water and pour it on your aunt. "
Then Qiu Wan looked at Jiang Nianjiao and said, "Miss Gillian, I know that I am indeed sorry for you. If I can, I am willing to plead guilty. However, if I plead guilty, the empress will definitely be implicated. After all, His Majesty has long wanted to The empress is dead, and although she knows nothing, I am a member of her palace, and if we are caught with any clues, we will die."
