Chapter 122

fate

"Look at the lonely stars?"

The prince's long eyelashes were slightly raised, tinged with a strange glow. When he turned his head and lowered his eyes slightly to look at Jiang Zhaoying, he looked like the affectionate and beautiful young man in the painting looking at his beloved girl.

The wind rushed in from the window, blowing his hair on Jiang Zhaoying's face, making her feel itchy. Jiang Zhaoying raised her hand to brush it away, but accidentally pulled the Crown Prince's long hair, causing his handsome face to tilt slightly downwards.

It almost touched Jiang Zhaoying's nose.

The hot breath seemed to flow on each other's faces. Jiang Zhaoying hurriedly and carefully pushed the Crown Prince's long hair behind his shoulders, raised her face and smiled apologetically.

The prince looked at the smiling face in front of him and felt as if a hand was gently grabbing his heart, making his breathing unstable.

Several images suddenly flashed through my mind.

These years.

It happened a few times intermittently.

When leaving court, Jiang Jian stopped him in a secluded place and hinted that after observing the stars at night, he found that his star sign was unstable and he might be in danger.

Even once.

Jiang Jian was clearly saying that his star was turning blood red, and he was afraid that there would be a bloody disaster.

then.

After he returned home, he made careful plans with his staff, ministers, and secret guards. After experiencing life and death again and again, everyone felt a sense of fear when they thought about these things.

"Is it you?"

The prince looked at Jiang Zhaoying deeply, the charm in his eyes seemed to cover her completely, and as his heart beat heavily, he felt his blood boiling.

turn out to be.

Jiang Zhaoying had helped him many years ago and even saved his life.

Perhaps it was because his eyes were too hot, as if he had some emotions that needed to be released. Jiang Zhaoying felt a little panicked. She smiled, turned around quickly and sat down, drank another half bowl of soup, before putting down her chopsticks.

"Miss."

Shu Yun looked at the pink on the tip of her young lady's ear and knew that she was in an unstable mood, so she hurried forward and whispered.

"It's sunny outside, why don't you go outside to enjoy the scenery and help digest your food."

"That's fine."

Jiang Zhaoying stood up and led them towards the yard.

Shu Yun and Shu Yu now had the opportunity to boldly appreciate the beautiful scenery in the yard. Shu Yu exclaimed in amazement at the exotic flowers and sights in front of him.

"Miss, the scenery here is really beautiful."

There are many places with very dense green trees, which are beautifully matched with the rockery. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of waterfalls and birds singing in the distance.

"Although our Jiang Mansion is also very beautiful, it is still a little small and cannot compare to the spaciousness and grandeur here."

"Good eyesight."

Jiang Zhaoying looked at Shu Yun with a smile and pointed at the big garden.

"There are many trees here that look like they have been growing for decades."

The prince listened to her words, walked out slowly, and came to her side and said.

"This mansion has indeed been passed down from generation to generation. It is about one hundred and ten years old now."

Shen Liuguang glanced at Yuanzi and smiled.

"When the Emperor first gave this place to Your Highness, it was very old and dilapidated. We modified it little by little to make it what it is now."

"Ruined?"

Jiang Zhaoying repeated these two words softly, and then smiled self-deprecatingly. After the death of the late queen, the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have been very difficult.

Prince Yueming is now grown up, and the Queen must have been planning for a long time and is determined to seize this world. The Prince should also know that in his heart, he must have endured a lot of things that ordinary people cannot endure in order to live safely until now.

"Your father was the main reason why I was able to become the crown prince."

but.

It is also possible that Jiang Zhaoying was the main contributor.

"I remember... the candidate the court officials wanted to make the crown prince was Prince Yue Ming. Father must have been tempted, but on the second day, it suddenly rained heavily for five consecutive days and nights. The people were miserable and the court was also very distressed. It was your father who asserted that I had a strong dragon energy and that if I was made the crown prince, the rain would stop. The court argued for another day and night about this. Seeing that the people were about to riot, father hastily agreed to make me the crown prince. One hour after the imperial decree was issued, the rain stopped suddenly."

later.

The Queen secretly manipulated the court officials to bring up the matter again, wanting to make Prince Yue Ming the Crown Prince.

The Emperor was much more cautious this time and asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate in advance. The final result was not satisfactory. At the same time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made great contributions at the border, which shut the ministers up.

after.

The prince planned and killed countless people along the way, forcing the court officials to keep silent, and only then did he secure his position as the prince.

"I have been wanting to find an opportunity to thank you, but I was afraid of disturbing your lives."

It’s not that he had not tried to show his goodwill to Jiang Jianzheng, but Jiang Jianzheng avoided him and just said that it was what he should do, and the matter was dropped.

Now think about it.

He shouldn't have backed down!

Jiang Zhaoying nodded. Her mother had repeatedly told them to keep a low profile but live happily and freely. Her father probably also figured something out, so he tried his best to avoid any connection between the Jiang Mansion and the Prince's Mansion.

But.

Many things were already destined. Even if they had never met, there was still a relationship between her and the prince.

"Your Highness, we will go back first. See you at the hunting ground?"

"good."

The prince looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and the emotions in his eyes seemed to surge for a moment, but he soon returned to his cold look and signaled Shen Liuguang to send them out.

"Junior sister, I'll take you back to the Jiang Mansion. Zhiyu is getting married. Is he busy?"

When Xu Zhiyan said this, he deliberately turned around to look at the Crown Prince. After seeing that the Crown Prince's face was indeed gloomy, he deliberately moved closer to Jiang Zhaoying.

He thought about it.

Since Zhaoying and I have missed each other again and again, it means that we are not destined to be together. Instead of suffering continuously, I might as well help her to be happy.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince truly loves Zhaoying and Zhaoying also loves and respects him, then he would be happy to make it happen.

only.

I wonder when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will make things clear to Junior Sister?

or.

Should he have been more obvious?

"kindness."

Jiang Zhaoying became happy when talking about her brother's marriage.

"Miss Yang is really a good candidate for sister-in-law. I like her very much."

The two of them walked out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion while talking and laughing, but not long after they got on the carriage, the carriage was blocked and they heard Madam Song's voice.

"Jiang Zhaoying, where did you hide Qing Huan?"

Shu Yun opened the curtain, looked at Mrs. Song coldly and scolded her.

"Your daughter is missing, what does it have to do with my young lady?"

That's strange.

Cui Hexun said that the emperor was not planning to keep the Song family any longer, so why was Madam Song wearing gold and silver again? Shouldn't they destroy it?

Shu Yun turned to look at Jiang Zhaoying with some confusion, and a hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes.

I want to come.

Is there something wrong with the Emperor?

"The emperor had a headache and summoned Song Chengyu to the palace to take his blood."

Xu Zhiyan spoke in a deep voice, and Jiang Zhaoying suddenly understood what he was saying.

It turned out to be because of this incident.

"Jiang Zhaoying, do you think you can just hide? She went out with you to attend the banquet at Liu Mansion, and she hasn't come back until today. You took her out, why don't you bring her back?"

"She didn't go with our young lady. She went with a young lady from the second branch of the Sun family. Madam Song, if you want to find someone, you have to go find someone from the Sun family."

Shu Yun retorted angrily, and Mrs. Song became furious when she heard the word "Sun Mansion".

Her people had already been to the Sun family, but the Sun family did not admit the incident and even refused to let her in.

now.

The servants of the Song Mansion stole things and ran away. She wanted to call for help, but she didn't know where to find them.

I just happened to see Jiang Zhaoying's carriage coming out, so I went to find Jiang Zhaoying.

"You two went to the banquet together, and you are her sister-in-law, so you have the responsibility to bring her back. How could you just let her go? She hasn't come back yet, and we don't know whether she's alive or dead. Jiang Zhaoying, if anything happens to Qinghuan, you won't be able to survive either."

"Mrs. Song."

Jiang Zhaoying spoke lightly.

"I only saw her hugging and cuddling with the young master of the Yu family in Prime Minister Liu's residence, and then she was taken away by the young master of the Yu family. As for the rest, I don't know."

Mrs. Song felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard this. The daughter she had raised with great care was now becoming the concubine of that playboy in the Yu Mansion. She wanted to get her back, but she didn't come back. She was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

As long as Jiang Zhaoying is willing to help, Qinghuan will definitely come back.

"It's impossible. Qinghuan is a good kid. How could she be with Yu? They have nothing to do with each other. Don't slander her."

As soon as Mrs. Song finished speaking, Jiang Zhaoying's eyes turned cold. Then the curtain was lowered and the carriage was about to bypass Mrs. Song and leave.

Mrs. Song gritted her teeth and opened her arms to block the carriage.

"Jiang Zhaoying, you must help me bring Qinghuan back today, otherwise you can't go anywhere."

"Then let's go to Yu Mansion."

Jiang Zhaoying's voice came from the carriage. Mrs. Song was delighted and lifted her skirt to get on the carriage, but the coachman ignored her at all, turned around and rode away quickly.

Mrs. Song was so angry that she was shaking, but there was nothing she could do. She could only turn around and get on her ordinary carriage and head straight to Yu Mansion.

Arrived at the gate of Yu Mansion.

Shu Yun and Shu Yu banged on the door of Yu Mansion and shouted loudly.

"Master Yu, Master Yu, you've brought Miss Qinghuan from the Song family into the mansion for so many days. The rumors outside are so bad. Let Miss Song come out immediately."

Mrs. Song heard them shouting as soon as she got off the carriage, and she hurried forward and shouted angrily.

"Why are you shouting? Aren't you afraid of losing face? Can't you just knock on the door, go in, get the person back and take him away?"

There was someone shouting and yelling at the door, and there were so many people coming and going, how could they put their faces?

"Mrs. Song."

Jiang Zhaoying opened the curtain.

"This is the only solution I have. If you don't like it, forget it. Let's leave."

Shu Yun and Shu Yu immediately turned around and walked towards their carriage. Madam Song was so angry that her throat was bleeding. Jiang Zhaoying, this bitch, was really cruel and ruthless. How difficult could it be for her to do such a simple task?

But at this time.

The door of Yu Mansion was opened.

Two old women grabbed Song Qinghuan, who was wearing thin clothes and had messy hair, and pushed her out. Before they finished, they glared at her fiercely and mocked her.

"You are a young lady from a marquis' mansion, but you only want to get into my young master's bed all day long. You are so shameless."

Seeing the two maids were about to leave, Song Qinghuan didn't care about the scratches on his body, climbed up, and rushed to the gate of the mansion.

"Let me in, let me in, Yu Shanhe promised to marry me as a concubine, he promised me."

At first, it was agreed that she would be married as the principal wife, then it was agreed that she would be the concubine, and now she is thrown out again. How is she going to survive?

"Become a concubine? Look at yourself. You sneak into someone else's house and even try to stay. You can't be driven away. A poor fellow like you, do you still need a concubine? A maid is good enough."

As they spoke, the two old women glared at Madam Song with contempt.

"Like mother, like daughter, they are all the same kind of people, not good people. I guess Madam Song and Patriarch Song were also very happy when they were having an affair."

As they said this, the two old women laughed, turned around and slammed the door.

Song Qinghuan fell down at the door, covering her face and crying.

Mrs. Song rushed forward and hugged her in her arms, but Song Qinghuan pushed her away angrily.

"What are you doing here? Why are you making such a fuss? It's all your fault that I'm being kicked out now."

Mrs. Song was so shocked when she heard her daughter's loud cursing that she didn't know what to say. With trembling lips, she pointed at Song Qinghuan and slapped her in the face with her hand.

"What are you talking about? I worked hard to raise you and taught you carefully, just to let you be someone else's concubine? You are so shameless that you even rushed to marry someone else's family. You don't even have shame when you were kicked out?"

"What face do I want?"

Song Qinghuan suddenly raised her head, stared at Madam Song with wide eyes, then she climbed up and rushed towards Madam Song.

"You think I don't know about this, everyone in the capital knows it? Now you're telling me to save face, don't you feel guilty?"

Mrs. Song felt cold all over when she heard this. She took several steps back with weak legs and looked at her daughter in disbelief.

She thought.

Both Song Chengyu and Song Qinghuan understood him and knew why he did that.

But in the end, listen to what they say?

"Isn't it for you that I do this?"

Mrs. Song's voice was still as strong as before, but it also contained a slight tremor that she was not even aware of. Song Qinghuan's eyes were full of mockery when he heard it, and he even raised his head and laughed silently.

"For us? When you did that, we were not even born yet, so don't put the blame on us. You are shameless. You want to take away father's position as marquis. You are sorry for father. You are so heartless."

so.

Is it true that Song Chengyu is not his father’s biological child?

Talk about it.

Only she, Song Qinghuan, is the biological daughter of Marquis Song, but what's the use? Wouldn't she become nothing?

During these few days in Yu Mansion.

She was ridiculed, bullied, beaten, and even locked up in the woodshed with no one to care for her. From their words and conversations, she learned many secrets of the Song Mansion. Only then did she realize that the woman in front of her was so vicious and shameless.

They were the ones who killed my father!

The father who treated her like a treasure, cherished her as if she were his own hand, and always held her in his arms wherever he went, was killed by the woman in front of him.

From that day on.

Song Qinghuan became decadent. No matter what Yu Shanhe said or did, she no longer resisted. She even became depraved.

What is she capable of?

Right now she can't even do something as simple as avenging her father, what else can she do?

"That's not the case, no."

Looking at her daughter's cold and contemptuous eyes, Mrs. Song felt a little flustered for a moment.

"I worked so hard to raise you so well, so that you can find a good family in the future, become the principal wife, and live a happy life. You must believe in your mother, because she really thinks so."

"Why did you kill your father? Was he not good to you? Didn't he love you enough? Even though he knew that you had someone in your heart, he still went along with you and spoiled you. Why did you...even if you could just spare his life, why did you kill someone who was so good to you? Why?"
