Chapter 383

“Pop!”

With tears in her eyes, Tai Consort Jiang slapped her daughter heavily in the face, “Sins!!!”

“It’s not me!” Eldest Princess Jade Mountain’s head snapped around when she was hit, and immediately shouted shrilly after turning around, “Why don’t you believe me, Mother Consort? Although I couldn’t wait for Lu Ningyi to die earlier, how could I possibly instruct her to plot against Cousin Ah Xu’s daughter?!”

“Lu Ning night is at least your cousin, how can you say words wishing for her death?!” Jiang Taifei truly feel tired, she is the old man of Emperor Xianjia’s harem, serving only a little later than Empress Su, the lost Cui Guifei, accompanying the driver for many years, only one daughter, naturally, as a jewel, cherished very much.

Previously, when the King of Wei was compelled by the Grand Princess of the Dai Guo, abandoning Jiang Mu Scape, Tai Fei Jiang’s own niece, and marrying the Grand Princess of the Dai Guo’s daughter, County Princess Nan Chang, instead, and Jiang Tai Fei Jiang’s adoptive mother drifted away from her, Jiang Tai Fei Jiang was still secretly glad that she still had her own biological daughter to be a comfort to her.

Who knows that after the King of Wei changed his succession to the King of Xiang, this daughter of hers even as if she took over the elder brother’s class, it is simply to give her a hard time!

This time, it has simply caused everyone in the court to be in danger!

Jiang Taifei will go to see Emperor Xianjia’s heart, “Xiyu and Xilu are both locked away, and you have such an attitude, do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with it?!”

“This year, after Lu Ningyi came out of mourning, she came to the palace for the first time to pay her respects to her imperial grandmother, I did wait outside the palace, and after she finished her audience, I made her follow me to a secluded place to talk!” Jade Mountain Eldest Princess this year also knows that her half-brother is in charge of the family, not like when her own father was alive, so she has restrained herself a lot.

Being beaten and scolded by her own mother, she explained with tears in her eyes despite being full of grievances, “But I didn’t tell her anything about murdering Cousin A Xu’s family at all! I only asked her if she liked Second Prince Su – she said no, and I didn’t know if that was true or not, so I told her that if she didn’t like Second Prince Su, then she might as well try to push through this marriage and give Second Prince Su to me!”

“Then Lu Ningyi said that her marriage to Second Prince Su was decided by Imperial Grandmother, and that she didn’t dare to disobey, and begged me to think of a way!”

“I was very happy to hear this, but for a while I couldn’t think of any way to make her break off her engagement with the second son of Su, so I agreed with her that I would tell her when I came up with a method – and that she could come to the palace often in the future to make it easier for us to discuss countermeasures!”

“Then she did come a few times, and I never thought of a sure thing, and it dragged on.”

Princess Jade Mountain said here, cried out in aggravation, “I am the mother consort watched grow up, mother consort still do not know me? If I don’t like Qing Yue niece, in front of the people to whip her a thing is to do out, asked me to come up with so round and round method to harm her whole family, how can I think out?!”

“But since Xiyu and Xilu were escorted away, there must be a problem! They both served you for so many years, inside and outside and know that you like that surnamed Su, this time the matter also made such a big fuss, how can not implicate you?” Jiang Tai Fei how do not know, her daughter said that the barbaric willfulness that is certainly there, even if it is a cool heart also counts, but to say that the depth of the city is a joke – Yushan Rapunzel to be really scheming people, the first will still be a grand to the Emperor of Xianjia fainted, so that he fell into a “unfilial” reputation? The “unfilial” reputation?

If this daughter of hers was really so calculating, she might not need her to worry so much this time!

Consort Jiang took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, choked and said, “The only solution today is to ask the Empress Dowager for her grace and to give you a word – how unintelligent were you in the past? Asked you to often go to the dowager empress dowager in front of the pampering, serve a tea and pour a water and so on, you always do not pay attention to! That’s your own grandmother, how you flatter her, that’s called filial piety, do not still feel ashamed of it? You’re always thinking about people you shouldn’t be thinking about! Will that Su come to your rescue this time?”

After scolding her daughter, Consort Jiang braced herself and returned to the rear hall, freshened up, ordered the people to prepare a step carriage, and went to the Empress Dowager’s residence.

Who knew that only when he reached the neighborhood, he saw a forest of swords and halberds blocking the way!

As Imperial Consort Jiang was horrified, an armorer approached and saluted, saying in a deep voice, “By His Majesty’s order the garrison is here, may I ask if Your Highness has an order to pass?”

“Passage order?” Jiang Taifei puzzled, after the armor explained, only then clear, because before the second prince out of flowers, Duanhua Emperor afraid of the Empress Dowager and other important people out of the matter, so the provisions in addition to the necessary entry and exit, other people, such as the emperor and the Queen’s permission, are not allowed to disturb.

After listening to the words of the armor, Jiang Tai Fei’s heart was full of mixed feelings, she was one of the four consorts during the Xianjia Dynasty, equal to Cui Guifei, the birth mother of Emperor Duanhua, and although she did not give birth to a son, Empress Su had always held her in very high regard. If Emperor Xianjia was still in power now, how could she not be included in this kind of protection for the VIPs?

But now, she had come all the way out without half a reminder!

If she hadn’t come to seek an audience with the Dowager Empress today, I’m afraid she wouldn’t have known anything until now, right?

This will be surrounded by people, although each according to the rules of low-eyed, no one dares to look directly at the concubines of the late emperor, but Jiang Tai Fei did not have a reason to feel a burst of hot face, a huge sense of humiliation so that she is almost as breathless command, “Go back!”

One day at a time.

On the way back to her own place, Mrs. Jiang chewed on these words over and over again, thinking back to Emperor Xianjia’s life, and only felt sadness, “If the late Emperor was still alive, this Palace and Yushan, how would they end up in such a situation now?”

Emperor Xianjia cruelty to half-siblings, to their own children can be described as a kind father, the daughter is especially indulgent – if he is still alive, this time things even if it is really Yushan Princess did, think he can not really take the daughter how, at most, they try to find a way to make up for the Jane Hubai and others.

However, the current head of the Duanhua Emperor, Jiang Tai Fei is only the Duanhua Emperor’s concubine mother, in addition to the annual festival ceremony, the two will not meet at all. Therefore, Mrs. Jiang does not know much about Emperor Duanhua.

However, from the rumors that Emperor Duanhua’s attitude towards the two princesses of Donghai and Yukang was very bland, one could peek out that this emperor’s tolerance towards the royal family’s female relatives was definitely not as good as that of Emperor Xianjia.

Those two were still Emperor Duanhua’s own daughters, not to mention Jade Mountain, her half-sister.

Jiang Taifei full of disappointment and return, get out of the carriage into the temple, see his daughter face with expectation to meet up, can not help but put his arms around her to cry, “The late emperor is so cruel heart heh! He said he would leave, leaving us mother and son nothing to do – but let us now how to do? He might as well have taken us all away earlier!”

While Mrs. Jiang’s mother and daughter were crying, inside the Jiang family’s summer residence, Jiang Muying was frowning at the uninvited guest who came over the wall, “What is Mr. Su doing here? The uninvited guest who came over the wall, “What is Mr. Su doing in my house if he is not at home to observe his father’s filial piety?”

“If I don’t come, the Jiang family is in danger!” Su Shaoge dusted off the wall dust on his lapel, ignored Jiang Muying’s unwelcoming look, and settled down not far away, faintly saying, “Extraordinary things must be done at extraordinary times, today’s action of overstepping the wall, I hope that little Jiang adults forgive me!”

Jiang Muying sniffed a cold laugh, turned his hand over and closed a former dynasty calligraphy post he was admiring in front of him, and said, “Someone come!”

“Just now, my aunt sent news out, saying that the true culprit has emerged in the matter of the first eldest daughter of the Duke of Yan out of the flower.” Su Shaoge glanced at the guards who entered in response to the voice, and said nonchalantly, “It is none other than your cousin, Her Highness, the Eldest Princess of Yushan!”

“… Stand down!” Jiang Muying’s pupils suddenly shrunk, after a short deliberation, in the end he waved off the guard, and when that guard brought the door with him, he sank his face, “Although Yushan is my Jiang family’s first niece, she is even more of a royal princess! Moreover, my Jiang family knows nothing about what she has done! What does it have to do with my Jiang family if she has gotten into trouble?”

Su Shaoge laughed a little and said, “Why speak in the dark in front of the public? If it was only the eldest daughter of the Duke of Yan who was ill, there would still be room for mediation, but now that even the Duke of Yan is still alive or dead – Little Lord Jiang doesn’t think that if the Duke of Yan were to be killed, the Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess of Jin, as well as His Majesty, would have no problem with the Jiang family, do they?”

He said meaningfully, ”Oh, there is also the Second Prince! Although it is said that His Majesty’s most valued heir is the Crown Prince, yet the Second Prince is also His Majesty’s own flesh and blood! Especially, there are only two princes in total!”

“You did this?” Jiang Muying was silent for a moment and cut his teeth.

“Of course not.” Su Shaoge denied without thinking – seeing Jiang Muying looking at himself with a skeptical face, he helplessly spread his hands, “After my late father passed away, I originally planned to return to my hometown with my sister and nephew to support the coffin, however, His Majesty was kind and generous, and granted my late father permission to accompany him to his late father’s mausoleum. So our uncle and nephew continued to live in the imperial capital. His Majesty has been so kind, what more can I say for the Su family? How can we do anything to disappoint His Majesty? Moreover, Lord Xiao Jiang also knows that Her Highness the Eldest Princess of Yushan has always loved me, and although I do not consider myself to be an open and honest gentleman, I do not care to take advantage of a golden branch that is full of admiration for me!”

Speaking the last sentence, a touch of arrogance crossed Su Shaoge’s brow.

“…” Jiang Muying mused, he knew that Su Shaoge’s so-called “Your Majesty is so gracious” was nothing more than window dressing.

The real situation is that, after Duke Jiguo died of illness by decree, with his sons and daughters in the imperial capital, Su Shaoge, Su ShaoMo, Su BoFeng three people, according to the rules should help the spirit to return to their hometowns, so that the old father into the ground in peace.

However, Emperor Duanhua was not assured that Su Shaoge would return to the Su family’s lair in Qingzhou, so under the pretext that Duke Jigong and Emperor Xianjia had mutual respect for each other, he was allowed to be buried with Emperor Xianjia’s mausoleum – so that the three of them did not have to send the coffin back to their hometowns.

Emperor Duanhua also excused his first mother, Empress Dowager Su’s phoenix body is not in harmony, Su Shaoge three people as the mother’s family, should always serve the Empress Dowager, so that the Empress Dowager to relieve the summer.

So leaving Su Shaoge’s trio under the Imperial Capital’s nose to personally watch, in this case, the Su family really shouldn’t cause any more trouble unless they’ve broken their brains – avoiding right and wrong is more like it!

Also because of the Duanhua Emperor’s so-called filial piety first mother’s words, Su Shaoge’s trio can occasionally enter the palace to pay respects to Empress Dowager Su – I think that this time around, Su Shaoge has already gotten the news, but the Jiang family is still unaware of it, it should be that someone from the Su family has just entered the palace to give the Empress Dowager her respects.

“If it’s not you, then who should it be?” Jiang Muying raised his head and looked at him critically, “Don’t say it has nothing to do with you, otherwise why would you personally climb over the . . wall to find me?!”

“There is a relationship with my Su family.” Su Shaoge looked back without budging, “However, it’s because His Highness, the King of Liang, is advising His Majesty that he intends to take advantage of this incident to burn the fire on the heads of the two kings of Su Xiang, and then, to purge the court!”

Jiang Muying then relieved: ”No wonder you are in such a hurry to come over … But since this is the case, why should my Jiang family help you? After all, since His Majesty and His Highness the King of Liang are going to target the two kings of Su Xiang, then the focus will definitely not fall on Her Highness the Princess of Yushan! That way, my family will be less affected, won’t it? In the end, your Su family is close to His Majesty King Su, and you supported His Majesty King Su in his bid for the throne! It’s only natural that His Majesty and His Majesty the King of Liang would settle their scores! But my Jiang family is not, my Jiang family has never been involved in the water of the dispute, my son-in-law, Marquis Boling, also has the merit of the dragon, and also with the Duke of Yan friendship, so I think His Majesty the King of Liang will not intentionally drag us into the water, right?”

“Little Lord Jiang has misunderstood!” Su Shaoge sniffed but laughed out, shaking his head, “I’m not here to ask for help, but to help others – does Little Lord Jiang really think that the Jiang family will be able to rest on their laurels if His Royal Highness, King Liang, persuades His Majesty to take advantage of the situation?!”

He spat out a word that caused Jiang Muying to instantly change his face!
