Chapter 319: Risking the World’s Condemnation and Usurping the Throne
Sheng Yunshao was thinking about showing off when he returned to the village.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Girl, I'll leave the things here to you. We'll go back to the village for a few days."
"Before leaving for the capital, send someone to the village to inform us."
Jiang Ruo understood Sheng Yunshao's little thoughts very well.
"Hurry and take Auntie back to the village!"
Show off as much as possible.
Sheng Yunshao glanced at Princess Anran and said seriously, "Ruoxin, I'll arrange for them to harness the carriage right away."
Princess Anran nodded slightly.
After Sheng Yunshao left the front hall, Jiang Ruo grumbled in a low voice, "Aunt, when the old man returns, he will definitely show off his status as the Prince Consort."
"Tsk tsk, this guy is becoming more and more childish."
Princess Anran couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Jiang Ruo's teasing tone.
She didn't notice this.
The carriage stopped at the door, and Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin watched Sheng Yunshao and the other two leave in the carriage.
Although Xiao Junze was under the supervision of secret guards, his personal freedom was not restricted.
Supported by Manager Ji, he paced around the manor in a restless manner.
When he saw Princess Anran and her partner leaving in a carriage, he immediately became angry.
At the same time, he felt even more dissatisfied with Princess Anran.
My aunt is so cruel. She knew she was poisoned, but she still refused to let Doctor Sheng treat her...
"Ji Tao, help me over here quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Manager Ji looked at the couple standing there, feeling shocked and frightened.
He complained to himself: Your Majesty, can we please not provoke them first?
This couple is not afraid of you at all...
Xiao Chengjin naturally heard the footsteps of the master and servant.
In response, he just curled his lips and smiled.
We have finally come here, so let you, master and servant, experience the country life.
"Xiao Chengjin, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
"Do you really want to risk the world's condemnation and usurp the throne?" Xiao Junze came to Xiao Chengjin in a threatening manner and said these words with gritted teeth.
When Manager Ji saw Xiao Junze's attitude, he was afraid that he would anger Xiao Chengjin again.
Even though the weather was quite hot, he kept breaking out in cold sweats.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please speak up..."
"Shut up." Xiao Junze pushed Manager Ji away.
Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Junze, who was becoming increasingly irritable, and smiled sarcastically.
"Okay, what else can you do besides taking it out on a slave?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Ji looked at Jiang Ruo with gratitude.
Although they are in an opposing relationship, what the other person said makes a lot of sense!
The Emperor is always angry and takes it out on his servants...
Xiao Junze stared at Jiang Ruo's face sinisterly and asked in a cold voice, "Jiang Ruo, who are you?"
Jiang Ruo secretly thought: Pei must have said something when she informed on Xiao Junze, so he guessed that he was a reborn person.
However, this "rebirth" is not that kind of rebirth!
"I'm Jiang Ruo, is there any problem?"
Xiao Junze snorted coldly, "Jiang Ruo, don't try to hide anything. I know all your secrets."
Jiang Ruo squeezed Xiao Chengjin's palm and said calmly, "Oh, really?"
"Tell me, what's my secret?"
Xiao Junze said to Ji, the steward beside him, "Ji Tao, please step aside for a moment."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Manager Ji frowned and turned to leave.
Xiao Junze thought of what Pei said on the night he informed on the matter, and suddenly he showed a strange smile.
He slowly said, "Jiang Ruo, I have to say, you are truly blessed."
"Including Jiang Yunyao who died in Jizhou..."
"Jiang Ruo, you said you were reborn with great difficulty, why don't you be more content?"
When Xiao Junze said this, he deliberately glanced at Xiao Chengjin.
Seeing Xiao Chengjin so calm, he understood that Xiao Chengjin must know this secret.
Jiang Ruo chuckled when he heard this.
"I'm not happy with what you said."
"What do you mean I'm restless?"
"My husband and I haven't offended anyone. It's you who has arranged for people to assassinate us time and time again."
"Humph! You really think we're pushovers!"
Then, she said to Xiao Chengjin with a look of grievance: "Husband, I want to be the queen..."
Hehe, I'll make you mad.
Xiao Chengjin raised the corners of his lips and said lovingly, "Okay, the queen position is yours, and the world is yours, including me."
Xiao Junze was driven crazy by the two people in front of him.
You are going too far. Is it appropriate to say these things in front of the king of a country?
"Xiao Chengjin, if you indulge Jiang Ruo like this, she will bring disaster to the country and the people..." Xiao Junze said gritting his teeth.
Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, I will let you see how my Ruo Ruo brings disaster to the country and the people."
Xiao Junze swung his sleeves and shouted angrily, "You are simply unreasonable."
The next moment, a vicious plan formed in Xiao Junze's mind.
In the past, Xiao Chengjin was not interested in any woman.
This Jiang Ruo, I'm afraid he must have been bewitched...
Besides, according to Xiao Chengjin's personality, he might really not be interested in the throne.
Therefore, everything was instigated by the evil woman Jiang Ruo.
Thinking of this, Xiao Junze pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Xiao Chengjin, I can give you the throne, but you have to kill that witch Jiang Ruo with your own hands."
"Our Xiao family's empire must not be destroyed in the hands of this woman."
Jiang Ruo: "......"
You bastard, you dare to sow discord, you are worthy of being me!
Xiao Chengjin gently stroked Jiang Ruo's back and glanced at Xiao Junze sideways.
"The Xiao family's kingdom is not as important as my Ruoruo."
"Besides, my Ruoruo cares about the common people more than you do."
"Within three years, I will ensure that all the people of the Dayan Dynasty have enough food and clothing, and that all children, including girls, can attend free schools."
Xiao Junze: “…”
Humph! How ridiculous.
What you said are all scenes from a dream.
He sneered, his expression slightly smug, "Xiao Chengjin, you two think things are too simple."
"Do you know how much money and manpower it would take to provide free education for all children?"
Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows. "I control the economic lifeline of the Dayan Dynasty, so I don't need this little money."
Changing the subject, he said in an unhappy tone, "I think you're just too idle, that's why you think so much."
"Someone come."
Two secret guards flew over and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"
Xiao Chengjin said slowly: "Take him to the open space in the back mountain and have him turn over all the land there."
"If he doesn't do it, cut off his water and food."
"Yes, Master."
The two secret guards said to Xiao Junze with cold faces: "Please come in!"
Even when death is imminent, you still dare to stir up trouble here.
Xiao Junze looked at the unmoved Xiao Chengjin and shouted with a distorted expression, "One day, sooner or later, you will regret this."
"Let's go quickly." A secret guard drew his sword.
When Xiao Junze saw that someone was about to take action, he shuddered with fear.
He put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked away angrily.
Manager Ji, who was standing not far away, looked at the situation and followed helplessly.
Your Majesty, aren't you asking for trouble?
They won't let us leave, so we can only be slaughtered on their territory.
This old slave is really helpless.
So, what do this couple want?
When will you return to Beijing?
Jiang Ruo looked at the cowardly Xiao Junze and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
You little bastard, I’ll tire you to death.
"Xiao Chengjin, hurry up and arrange things in the next two days."
"If this goes on for too long, there will be trouble in the capital." Jiang Ruo said, his expression becoming serious.
Xiao Chengjin curled his lips into a smile and said, "Don't worry, Ruoruo, I will take care of this matter."
Jiang Ruo was afraid that Fan Qijun would be worried all day because of this matter, so she specially arranged for someone to ride a horse to the government office to deliver the news.
.......
In the next few days, Xiao Junze almost fainted from anger in the open space in the back mountain.
At this moment, Xiao Junze stood under the scorching sun, cursing, "I am the emperor, how could I possibly do such rough work?"
He cursed in his heart: This couple is simply rubbing my dignity on the ground...
But in order to have enough food and drink, they had to pick up the hoe and turn the soil.
Just bear with it for now and deal with them when you return to Beijing.
Manager Ji was sweating profusely from the heat, swinging the hoe silently.
In order to finish turning over the vacant land as soon as possible, he worked day and night!
Alas, is it easy for him?
At sunset, Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin strolled to the back mountain hand in hand.
The two men looked at the master and servant who were turning the soil hard and smiled at each other.
Haha, cherish this kind of life where you face the earth and back to the sky!
Jiang Ruo coughed lightly and said jokingly, "We'll be back in the capital tomorrow morning. You guys should get ready tonight."
When Xiao Junze heard the words "return to Beijing", he was stunned for a moment.
After realizing what was happening, he immediately dropped the hoe in his hand and walked towards Jiang Ruo and the other two.
"When will you give me the antidote?"
Jiang Ruo blinked, "The poison is used to control you."
"We'll discuss the antidote after we return to Beijing."
"Don't worry, this poison won't take effect until half a year later."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Junze and his servant both breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good, there is still a chance...
The master and servant, who were determined to return to Beijing, ignored Jiang Ruo and the other man and hurried towards the courtyard.
After Xiao Junze ran into the yard, he yelled to his men, "Come here, pack your things quickly and return to Beijing tomorrow."
Everyone: “…”
No wonder the emperor was so happy, it turned out he was going back to Beijing.
They said in unison: "We obey your orders."
At this moment, Xiao Junze felt refreshed.
"Ji Tao, I need to take a bath, go get ready."
Steward Ji smiled and said, "I'll go get it ready right away."
Haha, I can finally leave this suffocating place.
I will never come to Jizhou in this life.
