"Are you telling the truth?"
In the Jiaoxiang Palace, Xiao Yanli held the cloth tiger in his mouth and listened to the eunuch whispering beside him. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
The eunuch pretended to stop him and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. The Marquis of Anle and his son were beaten to pieces, their blood staining the ground red! When the imperial physician approached, they were both breathless!"
Xiao Yanli's mind raced: "Do you know why Marquis Anle and his son were punished?"
"Because the Third Miss of the Jiang family claimed to have cured Emperor Lü Daizong, but she ended up crippling him, the Marquis of Anle and his son barricaded themselves at the Prime Minister's door and brought the incident to the court. In the end, it was discovered that it was all Emperor Lü Daizong's fault. Third Miss Jiang also cured He Yanting, and the Emperor was furious, which is why he took such drastic action..."
He Yanting was cured? !
Xiao Yanli was horrified.
How is that possible? He Yanting's leg bones from the knees down were all broken. There would be no hope unless he could find the legendary doctor who could heal the dead and turn flesh into bones.
The person who had been missing for years was now healed by a little girl?!
How could Jiang Zhiyu have such magical skills?
Why did Song Shiwei never mention it to him?
Xiao Yanli was filled with doubts. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a report from outside.
The emperor is coming.
Xiao Yanli's eyes moved.
The eunuch's shrill voice rang out: "Aiya, Sixth Prince, it's time for you to eat. Give this to this old servant..."
"No...don't touch me!...I hate you! Wuwu~"
Xiao Yanli pursed his lips and looked like he was about to cry.
As soon as the emperor came in, he saw this scene.
I sneered in my heart.
With such superb acting skills, it’s no wonder that I was fooled by him. Look how convincing he is.
Thinking of this, the emperor remained expressionless.
He walked forward a few steps, easily took the cloth tiger from Xiao Yanli's hand, and handed it to the eunuch.
The eunuch once again praised the Sixth Prince for how much he trusted him as his father.
The emperor was annoyed. "That's enough. It's the same old talk over and over again. I'm tired of hearing it."
Xiao Yanli's hand trembled imperceptibly.
What do you mean, didn’t his suspicions that day get dispelled?
Fortunately, the emperor seemed to have just said this casually, and then he scolded the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace for not serving them well. The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground. Concubine Yu, who had returned from outside, quickened her pace, took his arm, and whispered, "What's wrong with your majesty? Why are you so angry with these servants?"
The emperor tilted his head to look at her, his face darkening. "I haven't even said anything about you. You're the head of a palace, but you can't even discipline a few palace maids and eunuchs. How can you manage the harem in the future? How can you be worthy of being the mother of a country?"
Since she regained the emperor's favor, Concubine Yu had never heard him speak in such a harsh tone, and her eyes immediately turned red. But after hearing what the emperor said, she no longer cared about being sad.
Managing the harem, being the mother of a nation?!
Could it be that His Majesty has already considered deposing the Empress?!
Joy spread from Concubine Yu's eyes. If she became the queen, she would no longer have to look at anyone's face, and her son would be able to display his strategy openly and become the crown prince, and would never be looked down upon by anyone again!
Thinking of this, Concubine Yu subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yanli lying on the ground.
Xiao Yanli dodged quickly.
The emperor took in all of this and raised the corner of his mouth: "My beloved, do you understand what I mean?"
Concubine Yu nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."
She looked around the hall with a fierce look in her eyes.
No one can stop her from becoming the queen. She wants to be the most noble woman in Apocalypse!
…
Inside the prime minister's residence, Xu Youran stood in front of the hall, looking around worriedly.
Jiang Sulan and Jiang Kang'an were by her side, comforting her with soft words. Although the old lady in the hall was also worried, she felt uncomfortable when she saw her grandchildren surrounding Xu Youran.
Du Yuelan and Song Shiwei were beside the old lady, serving her tea and water.
After being scolded by Jiang Zhaorong at the door last time, Du Yuelan felt angry and pretended to be sick and did not see anyone, waiting for Jiang Zhaorong to come and visit her.
But she waited for so many days, but Jiang Zhaorong didn't come. She was anxious and bribed the servant who served Jiang Zhaorong. Only then did she find that not only did he not visit her, but Jiang Zhaorong didn't even mention her in the past few days!
Even the old lady's housekeeping power was transferred to Xu Youran.
Mrs. Du knew that if she continued to use Qiao as an excuse, she might be the next one to be kicked out.
So she hurried out of the yard, but she never expected that as soon as she came out, she would encounter the matter of Marquis Anle again!
What a conflict!
Du Yuelan held the teacup in her hand and handed it to the old lady respectfully: "Don't worry, old lady, the Prime Minister will definitely have a way. We just need to wait. Besides, my sister is here, and the Grand Tutor will also help the Prime Minister, don't you agree?"
The old lady took it and took a sip. "Thank goodness you're thoughtful enough to remember that family. I think they've forgotten us!"
Xu Youran was furious when she heard this. Jiang Zhaorong was able to become the prime minister only thanks to the help of the Xu family.
At that time, Jiang Zhaorong was a minister. Thanks to the help of Grand Tutor Xu in solving the flood problem in Lingnan, Jiang Zhaorong was appreciated by the emperor and became the prime minister.
But how did the Jiang family repay them?
Her father was framed by treacherous officials and imprisoned. She knelt and cried to beg Jiang Zhaorong to plead for mercy in front of the emperor. But how did Jiang Zhaorong answer her at that time?
Xu Youran still remembered that late night when Jiang Zhaorong sighed, "Youran, there's nothing I can do about my father-in-law. If anyone wants to blame someone, it's because he was caught with something. The emperor is furious now. You can't let me lose my position as prime minister because of this, can you?"
But he didn't think at all about how he got the position of prime minister!
Later, her father's innocence was cleared. Xu Youran, feeling guilty, did not dare to return to the Xu family and did not want to see anyone again, so she hid herself in Menghua Garden in the prime minister's mansion.
Retracting her thoughts, Xu Youran looked at Du Yuelan, who was trying hard to hide her provocation, and sneered.
In the past, she only thought that she was heartbroken because Du Yuelan came into the mansion and her husband doted on her.
In fact, now that I think about it, I have seen through him since that late night. I know that he is nothing but a selfish villain, an ungrateful and ungrateful white-eyed wolf in his bones!
She couldn't accept that Jiang Zhaorong, the high-spirited, elegant gentleman who made people feel like spring breeze in her memory, was actually just a rotten villain!
Refusing to admit that your choice to give it everything was a complete mistake from the very beginning!
After figuring everything out, Xu Youran felt suddenly relieved. Zhiyu was right. There was no need for her to tie herself to Jiang Zhaorong. At worst, they could just get a divorce.
But I can't do that now. If I bring it up now, Jiang Zhaorong will try his best to stop me from taking my children away. I must first think of a foolproof solution...
