What?
Bai Huiniang widened her eyes in disbelief.
How could Jiang Mingzhi, the daughter of a poor marquis family, marry the powerful Prince Yong?
But Jiang Mingzhi was neither sad nor happy. Getting married was just a means to an end. As for who she married, it made no difference as long as it was not the person in her heart.
"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you for your grace."
Jiang Mingzhi received the order and asked Ping'er to take a bag of silver melon seeds as a reward.
Jiang Yin weighed his purse and the smile on his face deepened.
He looked around holding the whisk, and finally his eyes fell on Chu Jincheng and Bai Hui Niang.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect that the prince and the concubine would also be at the Marquis of Jinyi's residence at this time. I'm about to go back. When will the prince and the concubine return?"
If it were someone else, Chu Jincheng would call him a eunuch and the other person would not dare to say a word.
But this is Jiangyin, even the prince has to give some face. What's more, if the emperor knew what happened today, I'm afraid everyone in Prince Jin's mansion would be punished.
Chu Jincheng gritted his teeth and replied respectfully.
"We also learned about the emperor's uncle's happy event and came to congratulate him. We will go back now."
After this incident, the entire Jinyihou Mansion was filled with an atmosphere of joy.
But deep down, Jiang Mingzhi had an inexplicable premonition that something big was about to happen.
Rich or poor, it is good to have a wife to celebrate the New Year. The wedding date is set on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, just to take advantage of the festive atmosphere.
But on the wedding day, the bride who was about to get into the bridal sedan was missing.
Jiang Mingzhi was kidnapped.
The kidnapper turned out to be Prince Yi.
He was dissatisfied with Jiang Mingzhi's choice of a better man, even though he did not like his cousin. Anyone who dared to look down on him was seeking death!
What's more, he would never let Chu Muchi take away such a powerful backer as the Wang family.
Otherwise, all the planning he and his mother had done over the years would have been in vain!
Therefore, Jiang Mingzhi must die!
That night, a mutiny broke out inside and outside the palace.
Concubine Shu has been feeling ill these past few days and has not been able to sleep well at night. However, she happened to have a very deep sleep yesterday, sleeping from day till late at night, without even noticing the flashes of swords and axes outside the window.
There was a loud thunder in the middle of the night, and when Concubine Shu was awakened, the palace was already a river of blood, and the nanny beside her was covered in blood, staring at her intently.
Concubine Shu screamed loudly, not being able to believe whether she was dreaming or had woken up.
Overnight, everything was in chaos.
Chu Linyi rebelled without the knowledge of Concubine Shu, mobilized the support that Concubine Shu had built up over the years, and rebelled.
But when he stumbled and knelt in front of Concubine Shu, his confession changed.
“Mother, Mother…save me! Save me!”
Chu Linyi knelt and crawled towards Concubine Shu like a madman, and his trouser legs were empty.
A strong wind mixed with the smell of blood rushed into the house, and the curtains in the hall were blown wildly. In the white light of lightning, Concubine Shu saw His Majesty standing with a sword in his hand and wearing a dragon robe.
Concubine Shu fell to the ground. No matter how stupid she was, she could guess what was going on.
"Father, I know I was wrong. I beg you to spare my life..."
It was unknown how many times Chu Linyi had said this. His voice had become hoarse, but he still struggled and refused to accept his fate.
