As an old woman in the palace, Concubine Li knew Emperor Jinde's temper well.
His Majesty is strict with the princes, but somewhat gentle and indulgent with the princesses. However, His Majesty has never liked to dine with others, so the princes and princesses rarely have the opportunity to dine with their father.
However, today Jiang Qingyao was actually invited to stay for dinner. What does this small action mean?
Your Majesty, please protect her!
Your Majesty is warning them not to do anything behind their backs.
At this time, Concubine Li was naturally extremely annoyed. Even her own daughter rarely enjoyed the treatment, but Jiang Qingyao had to enjoy it, and was even protected so blatantly by His Majesty.
Concubine Li's chest heaved, and she closed her eyes, trying to control her inner resentment and anxiety.
After a long while, she finally said, "Let Princess Yongjia come to see me."
She saw it clearly, but her daughter might not, so she had to remind her daughter to avoid breaking His Majesty's taboo again.
There's no rush. She's very patient. If Marquis Anguo dies in battle and is no longer of any use to His Majesty, it won't be too late to take action against Jiang Qingyao then.
Isn't it up to her to kill or chop me up?
…
When it comes to the postponement of Jiang Qingyao's wedding, the people who are most happy about it must be the people in Ningyuan Earl's Mansion.
Fu Sheng Tang.
Upon hearing the news, Old Madam Jiang perked up a little, her eyes cold and gloomy: "Yisong, mother doesn't have much time left."
"Mother wants to do one more thing for you and the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."
"Even if I die, I won't let Jiang Qingyao have an easy time."
Jiang Yisong lowered his head, his eyes filled with sadness and he was speechless.
Mu Qing, who was standing outside the window and eavesdropping, only heard these and had no idea what Old Madam Jiang was going to do, so she immediately went over to report to Jiang Qingyao.
She's not very smart, but the young lady is.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Jiang, supported by the nanny, got on the carriage and left the house.
This should be her last trip out of the house. She wants to do something for the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion before she dies.
She planned to die in front of Jiang Qingyao, so that people would mistakenly believe that Jiang Qingyao had killed her and her own grandmother.
Even if she severed the relationship, it couldn't stop others from accusing her of being unfilial.
Even if the plan fails, the worst that can happen is that she will die in front of Haitangju, making Jiang Qingyao unlucky. At any rate, she will not let Jiang Qingyao have an easy time.
There were many pedestrians on the street and carriages were moving slowly.
Old Madam Jiang leaned against the carriage, gasping for breath. She was hanging on to her last breath to get to Jiang Qingyao.
"Faster, faster."
Her face turned pale and her breathing was heavy.
Suddenly, a loud voice was heard outside——
"This young master is in a very good mood today! Reward!"
"Hahaha!"
"Come, come, come, whoever sees it gets a share!"
Someone was throwing money in the street.
Pedestrians on the street started to scramble for food, blocking the road. The carriage could not pass at all and had to turn to another street.
Old Madam Jiang's expression changed and she began to gasp for breath.
Which playboy is so ostentatious?
Damn it! Her plan was ruined.
The carriage drove into another street, but unexpectedly, it ran into that willful nobleman again. He stretched out his big hand and raised the curtain, and silver coins fell all over the ground.
"Happy events bring joy to people, but sharing happiness is worse than happiness alone. Enjoy!"
Passersby were scrambling for it.
"Madam, this road is impassable." The coachman had no choice but to turn around again and take a detour.
Old Madam Jiang's chest heaved violently, and she gritted her teeth.
How can there be so many happy events? Is this person sick?
It was obvious that someone was targeting her deliberately!
Who was it? Jiang Qingyao? How did she know?
Old Madam Jiang became anxious, her face became more and more ugly, she raised her hand to cover her heart, making a hoarse sound of "ho ho ho".
"Oh no, madam, the road ahead is blocked." The coachman's anxious voice sounded.
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang felt her vision go dark and she had difficulty breathing.
The whole person fell down helplessly.
She, she is unwilling to accept it.
Seeing no response for a long time, the groom lifted the curtain and shouted, "Old lady? What's wrong with you?"
But he found that Old Madam Jiang was lying in the carriage with her eyes wide open, and she seemed to be dead.
A busybody on the street suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rushed over. After only a glance inside the carriage, they started shouting, "Old Madam Jiang from the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion has died, and she died with her eyes open. Could it be that this is retribution for the Ningyuan Marquis's many bad deeds?!"
In an instant, passers-by stopped and started talking.
In the evening, Ma Liu changed into a set of noble clothes, bowed to Jiang Qingyao and said, "Miss Qingyao, the matter is done."
He is the nobleman throwing money on the street.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyao turned around with a smile in her eyes, more beautiful than the flowers beside her.
"You did a great job."
Ma Liu's ears turned red, he lowered his eyes and said softly: "It was the young lady's idea, I just carried it out."
When Jiang Qingyao heard Mu Qing report that Old Madam Jiang was making some move and was targeting her, she immediately had an idea in her mind.
No matter what Madam Jiang's plan is, it's definitely not a good thing.
There was no need to wait for Old Madam Jiang to get close to her before countering her moves.
As long as Madam Jiang leaves the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, she will never come back.
So Jiang Qingyao asked Ma Liu to pretend to be a dandy and scatter money on the streets to stop the carriages. Given the old lady Jiang's health, she was only hanging on by a thread and could not hold on for much longer.
She ordered another person to follow the carriage of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion and leave that sentence when the old lady got into trouble.
That busybody was arranged by Jiang Qingyao.
Old Madam Jiang died with her eyes open in a busy city. It was retribution for the evil deeds done by the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.
For a time, public opinion was all heading in this direction.
Old Madam Jiang has passed away. Filial piety is the most important virtue, so Jiang Yisong has to observe mourning for three years.
He was not allowed to attend court during the mourning period, and within three years, there was no place for him in the officialdom.
The mother died, but it did not hurt Jiang Qingyao at all, and she died with regrets.
Jiang Yisong covered his forehead with his hands, suffering from a splitting headache.
After a series of blows, he fell ill.
In a daze, he dreamed of Xue Yunzhu, his long-deceased wife.
Xue Yunzhu was still as beautiful as ever, but her eyes were filled with anger as she pointed at him.
"Jiang Yisong, why are you treating my daughter so badly?"
"Do you still remember what you promised me?"
Jiang Yisong woke up instantly, breathing heavily, his head still aching terribly.
He paused for a moment and then said, "I remember now. I remember everything."
Jiang Qingyao is not his biological daughter at all!
Jiang Yisong's face was extremely gloomy.
Yes, Jiang Qingyao must not be allowed to know about this. Even though we are related by blood, she has become so cold and unkind.
If they knew the truth, I'm afraid even their ashes would be scattered.
Three days later, at the Prince's Palace.
"Waste, every one of them is waste!"
"I can't even handle the smallest things."
"My father actually transferred the disaster relief task of the three states from me to the crown prince." Prince Qin said angrily.
