Chapter 342 A story within a story
…
We wanted to celebrate the New Year.
But because of the Fifth Prince’s incident,
everyone could only celebrate secretly.
We didn’t expect the Ministry of Justice to be so efficient.
The speed of solving cases was astonishing.
It also made some criminals panic.
At least it had a shocking effect.
It might also accidentally save a few poor people in the corners.
Life encounters are hard to explain.
Just like the Sixth Prince, who was the most popular candidate for the next Crown Prince a few days ago.
But now he has become a murderer, and he murdered his brother. He has no human ethics and is worse than pigs and dogs.
The news quickly spread throughout the streets.
In the Seventh Prince’s Mansion, Jiang Wan suffered a minor injury. She was stabbed by a sword, but it was not serious, just a skin abrasion.
It was also because Lu Jiuzhang had never done such a murder before. In extreme anger, he did not seize the opportunity.
He could not even kill anyone.
If one knife failed, at least he should know how to make another knife.
It was indeed not easy to kill people. After all, the opponent would struggle and dodge, and it was impossible for him to sit and let you kill him.
It took several hits to kill a fish, and sometimes the fish would run away.
Not to mention a person.
And Jiang Wan felt that God was helping her. She felt that she was actually very panicked at that moment. She even forgot to hide, but the earthquake suddenly made her body retreat and avoid fatal injuries.
It was just a little injured.
But the problem of palpitations remained.
Her heartbeat was extremely fast.
At this moment in front of her aunt, her face was pale. She was shocked to hear that the fifth prince was dead, and her heartbeat began to speed up again.
It seemed like this was the chaos in the dream.
The fifth prince died, and the sixth prince was captured.
Then there was news of a great defeat on the border? No, the time is a bit confusing.
It always feels wrong.
Maybe it’s because in this life, Meng Shaoxia was left in Jingzhou for three years, which delayed everything.
Meng Shaoxia is already a young general famous in the capital. The
old general Meng should have been gone a long time ago.
But the fifth prince died, and the sixth prince was captured, this made sense.
Then, I’m afraid, the news of Meng Shaoxia’s death in battle would come.
Jiang Wan’s heart was beating wildly. She
was a little excited, and a little nervous.
She was somewhat thankful that when Jiang Changtian questioned her before, she didn't say much, just some general things. After all, her dreams were intermittent, and she herself could only remember the details when something happened.
She was still determined to marry Chu Xi.
Originally, her aunt had agreed.
But now, due to the filial piety of her grandmother and the death of the prince, it is estimated that it will take a long time.
Fortunately, her status has been established, and she thinks that Miss Dong, who is a threat, may be married to someone else.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
Jiang Wan is very low-key in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, accompanying her aunt every day. Originally, her aunt didn't understand why she had to marry Chu Xi.
The relationship between the two was still a little awkward.
But because of Concubine Song, the relationship between the two is good again.
It turns out that sometimes having one more enemy is not a bad thing.
It's just that there is no such person as Concubine Song in the palace.
Jiang Wan felt that her brain was clueless about those major events, and she didn't dare to intervene.
She knew too little, and could only do her own thing.
Very restrained.
...
Everyone knew the news.
The Jiang family also knew it.
Mianmian was a little panicked.
Sure enough, this is the capital.
Dad went to drink with them two days ago.
It's only been a few days, and one of the drinking buddies died and went to jail.
So scary.
Although I have always heard that the palace struggles and official struggles are very fierce, I have only heard about it and have not seen it with my own eyes.
As a result, my family has only been in Beijing for a short time.
The eldest prince was imprisoned, the fifth prince died, and the sixth prince was arrested.
This... the loss rate of the princes is too high.
Fortunately, my father is just a nephew, not a son.
Princess Huiyun had no choice. Why did she live so long?
It was because she didn't mind her own business. Her brother was able to become the emperor. Was it because he was lively and lovable
? No. Her father was able to become the emperor. Was it because he was amiable and amiable? No.
It has always been like this in every dynasty.
For a princess like her to get involved in such matters was simply asking for her life to be too long.
She herself did not get involved, and also advised her son not to.
"Don't get involved in matters of royal inheritance. In the end, there will always be someone who will take the throne."
Qin Luoxia didn't expect that her princess mother-in-law would actually have a rare moment of intelligence.
She nodded in agreement: "Mother, you are right. It's like the sons of a rich man fighting for the family property. They beat each other until their heads popped out. There is no right or wrong. None of them seems to be a good person."
Jiang Changtian nodded and said, "I listen to mother. I will definitely not interfere. But mother, the Seventh Prince seems to have some opinions about me. After all, I killed his mother-in-law, and the Seventh Prince is a well-known wife-loving man. He married a concubine, but he didn't even step into the concubine's room. If he takes the throne, I'm afraid he will definitely cause trouble for me. I'm worried that he will want to kill me."
Princess Huiyun was also a little aggrieved when she heard Jiang Changtian talk about the Seventh Prince.
Because she had taken care of the Seventh Prince and Jiang Yuluan a lot.
She was rarely kind to others, but she definitely paid a lot for the couple.
Now that she didn't get revenge on her son, she actually took revenge on him.
"Don't worry, the emperor hates Xiaoqi very much and won't let him inherit the throne. Anyone has a chance, but he definitely won't." Princess Huiyun vowed.
Jiang Changtian thought, you know nothing, that fairy Jiang Wan said it, and in the end the seventh prince will ascend the throne.
Oh.
Forget it, his mother will just live in confusion for the
rest of her life. It would be best if she died cleanly, without too much pain.
Mianmian will continue to tell the rest of the story today.
Hearing Mianmian say that "Duan Yu escaped after mastering the "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Microsteps", he accidentally ate the Manggu Red Clam on the way, and has been immune to all poisons since then."
Qin Luoxia wondered if her own sister Yu had also accidentally eaten this thing. After all, sister Yu was greedy and put everything into her mouth. Even if she knew it was poison, she would taste it to see how it tasted. Now she is relieved that sister Yu is getting married because at least she will not be poisoned to death in a family fight. I heard that the fifth prince was poisoned to death, which is scary.
And the Northern Divine Art and Lingbo Microsteps, if I learn them, wouldn't I be able to fly over the eaves and walls, run to the border overnight, and see if my son is okay.
And Jiang Changtian thought that he must not let the emperor hear this story, otherwise he would have to find this thing out. He really wants to be immune to all poisons.
The eldest princess thought that this period of reputation and luck was really great. When she was young, she had everything she wanted, and countless treasures were within her reach... She
used to think that she was a child of destiny, but now she thinks that a person's luck is probably constant. When you use more when you are young, you will have less when you are old.
So now she doesn't pray for luck, just like this, what she has in front of her is enough.
Cong Ge'er carefully wrote down the story and sorted it out, because Mianmian sometimes told it in a confusing way.
Mianmian never thought that she originally just wanted to tease the princess grandmother, but now she has turned into a professional storyteller.
But she also likes the feeling of being together as a family, like when the whole family watched "My Fair Princess" together when she was a child. The winter nights were very cold, and she could not forget the plot (because it was replayed all the time during the summer vacation), but what she could not forget even more was the atmosphere of being together as a family.
She likes this feeling, the long nights.
"Once upon a time there was a mountain... In the mountain there was a family... The man's surname was Jiang, and the wife's surname was Qin... The setting sun and the lone wild goose flew together, and the autumn water and the sky were the same color..."
The people in the story are telling the story.
"Once upon a time there was a mountain... In the mountain there was a family... There were the four evil men..."
