Chapter 286
Jiang Zhao recalled the things about Jiang Zhi. When Jiang Zhi got into trouble, the original body had been imprisoned for many years. Except for one or two more loyal people around him who could help pass on some news from the outside, there was no one else available. When he heard the news that Jiang Zhi was crippled, he was so sad that he vomited blood.
Jiang Zhi was crippled not because she did not resist, but because she whipped her husband to death, so she was whipped. Jiang Cheng loved his daughter, but in general, women were still very strict in this era. Married daughters were even harder to control. Besides, at that time, people related to the original body had long fallen out of favor and no one protected them. It was really normal for Jiang Zhi to be whipped and crippled.
Judging from the memory of the original body, Jiang Zhao did not think that Jiang Zhi would whip someone to death at will. There must be some reason for this. Jiang Zhi has not yet been married, so he should pay more attention to her when she chooses a husband. It doesn't matter if it's not difficult to stop it now. Anyway, he is here and will definitely not let Jiang Zhi follow the same trajectory as before.
He didn't stay here for long. He left the palace after seeing Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi then ordered someone to close the door and carried the box back to the room, intending to see what was inside.
Who knew that when she opened it, there was actually a whip inside. She reached out and touched it. No wonder it was so heavy. There was iron mixed in it. It would take a lot of effort to dance with it.
But she likes it.
Jiang Zhi put away her smile. Fifth Brother actually gave her this. Did he know something? Could it be that Fifth Brother is not that stupid? It should be. They have been in contact quite a lot. It is normal for Fifth Brother to know about this. Fortunately, Fifth Brother is a real brother and will not harm her. He also gave her his favorite thing.
Maybe he also wants to remind her to be careful?
I understand. She will be more careful in the future. Should she go out of the palace to practice? Since the fifth brother knows everything, why not go to the fifth brother's mansion to practice whipping in the future? It would be even better if the fifth brother could hire a martial arts teacher for her.
Jiang Zhao sneezed when he left the palace.
An inexplicable sneeze, I'm afraid it's not simple.
Who is talking about him?
Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Zhao thought.
Among the sisters, only the eldest sister Jiang Yi and the third sister Jiang Wu have not met. They are all married, and there is no bad news at present. Even if there is something, you can't see anything if you go there rashly. It's better to send someone to ask them how they are doing recently, and give them a simple greeting, and the excuse is to send them small toys.
Back to the mansion, Jiang Zhao called Qu Yayu over. Qu Yayu is a very smart woman. He decided to assign this matter to her. The most important thing is that Qu Yayu is completely loyal to him, and he is more assured to tell her to do anything.
It was easier for him to keep his not-so-smart look. If he was a little smarter, he would probably be assigned to do a lot of things, which would cause a lot of trouble and affect his retirement. Dazhao Kingdom has countless talented people, and it doesn't need him to build it.
"You must meet them and hand the things to the two princesses in person."
"Observe their expressions and the reactions of the people over there."
Qu Yayu didn't know why her highness suddenly ordered this. She was very careful about this matter and kept every word of Jiang Zhao's order in mind.
After taking the gadgets prepared by Jiang Zhao, Qu Yayu led people out of the mansion.
She first went to see Princess Antai, that is, the eldest princess Jiang Yi. The eldest princess lived in the princess's mansion, and Qu Yayu met her smoothly.
Jiang Yi sat at the top, and Qu Yayu didn't dare to look at her too much, but she also glimpsed that there were only Jiang Yi and the people serving her in the palace, and no husband Yan Lishan.
"Fifth brother, you are thoughtful. The barbecued meat with spices sent a few days ago is really delicious." Jiang Yi's face softened, "I also prepared some small things for fifth brother. Take them with you when you leave."
During the brief exchange with Jiang Yi, Qu Yayu took the opportunity to quickly look at Jiang Yi's expression, secretly memorizing every expression of the other party in her heart, and then left with the items.
Then she went to see Princess Xingjia, that is, the third princess Jiang Wu.
After waiting for a long time, she saw the person, and she remembered the waiting time in her heart.
When she saw Jiang Wu, Qu Yayu, who had a relatively sensitive sense of smell, smelled the smell of oil smoke from the other party, and at the same time she glimpsed some water stains on the other party's sleeves. A little bit, but enough for her to notice. Jiang Wu's hands were hidden in her sleeves, and she couldn't take a look if she wanted to. She was just a housekeeper in the prince's mansion, and she had no right to ask the princess to stretch out her hands.
The reason why you should pay attention to these things is that His Highness has ordered you to do so. In fact, she still doesn't quite understand why. But something flashed through her mind vaguely, and she couldn't catch it for a while.
Back to the Fifth Prince's residence, Qu Yayu told Jiang Zhao everything she saw and heard without missing a single detail.
"Well, you go down first."
In the study, Jiang Zhao wrote down all the key points Qu Yayu said.
The eldest sister looked very normal, and there was no disturbance. It seemed that she lived a very ordinary life, but the princess's residence was too quiet, and there was no prince consort. In my memory, Jiang Yi had no children all the time, and later died early. The cause of death was depression in her heart. I don't know if it was related to having no children. This side should not be too urgent, let's take a look at the situation of the third sister first.
Jiang Wu got married at the beginning of this year, but it was already different.
As a princess, it is not acceptable to have water stains on her cuffs when meeting people. She looked a little hurried, and she did not see the third prince consort. She also smelled of oil smoke. What was going on? Did she just go to the kitchen or did she go there for a long time? As a princess, it is okay to cook occasionally, but if she goes there often, it will be a big problem. As far as I know from memory, Jiang Wu is not good at cooking, nor does she like to cook.
What is going on needs to be explored further.
But his mansion is full of other people's thorns, there are not many people who can be used, and these few people cannot be arranged to do these things. In addition, under the current situation, he does not plan to train anyone else, there is really no need. His father is alive and well, so he is very stable. Besides, it is very time-consuming to train someone who wants to come and go without a trace, and it is not worth it.
