Chapter 149
Evil spirit is rampant
"yes."
Commander Yu dared not disobey, and quickly signaled someone to go in and report.
Then he bowed and politely saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince off. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the Crown Prince's back disappeared, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Commander, why do you look so scared?"
The subordinates were puzzled for a moment when they saw that their usually ruthless commander looked frightened, as they had never seen him so nervous in front of the emperor.
Commander Yu was immediately filled with disapproval and kicked him on the body, roaring softly.
"What do you know? How do you think the adults got into accidents recently? Who do you think investigated the evidence of the adults who were imprisoned? Do you think that everyone in the palace is the emperor's people? Do you think the six aides under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are just aides?"
"Commander, how do you know so much? Aren't you afraid that they will kill you?"
The subordinate walked forward and asked softly, touching his leg which was not very painful from the kick. Commander Yu turned his head and looked around, then put his arm around his shoulder and said softly.
"When you are doing things in the palace, keep your eyes and ears open, and you will discover many surprising things."
The subordinate rolled his eyes.
Only he, as the commander, dared to do so, could do so, and had the opportunity to do so. Although they came from official families, their positions were still low. What could the little guards do every day in their fixed positions?
"Commander, are the six staff members of His Highness really that powerful?"
"Let me tell you this, Master Chang, you know this, right?"
The subordinate nodded hurriedly. That was the former Grand Tutor, the Emperor's former Grand Tutor. Although he is now retired in the palace, his reputation is no less than the current Grand Tutor Sun. Even Grand Tutor Sun is very courteous in front of him.
"And Cui Hexun."
When this name came out, I was shocked.
He is the leader of the Dragon Guard, who is specifically responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. Moreover, the Cui family is a famous family, a well-known family. The emperor must trust the Cui family so much that he let Cui Hexun be the leader of the Dragon Guard, who is a second-rank official.
"I don't know any more. Anyway, the six aides all have strong backgrounds and are not simple people."
"In that case, why don't you vote for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Commander Yu glared at him fiercely, then frowned and touched his chin in thought.
That's a problem.
The gate of Jiang Mansion opened, and the subordinates who had gone in to report came out.
"Commander Yu, the message has been delivered."
"What's going on inside?"
Commander Yu glanced at the two big words "Jiang Mansion". They did not cry, make a fuss or panic. They were so calm that it was scary.
"Nothing happened. He just said 'oh' and put the things in his hand back."
Commander Yu was shocked.
"That's it?"
The subordinate nodded.
"Yes, that's it."
Commander Yu looked up at the two big words "Jiang Mansion" again, and he felt a chill on his back. Generally speaking, isn't having your property confiscated and being dismissed from your position the most terrifying thing?
and.
What if the next order is to exterminate their entire clan?
On the contrary, they were not frightened and remained calm. It must be said that the Jiang family was really a freak.
"Have you seen Miss Jiang?"
"I only saw her back. She seemed to be holding a puppy and playing with it. The puppy was all white and wearing small clothes. It was very cute."
Pop.
Commander Yu raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, saying impatiently.
"Get lost, who asked you to watch the dog?"
The subordinate touched his aching shoulder and hastily stepped aside, still feeling aggrieved.
"That little dog was very human-like, baring its teeth at me."
Just stand up.
Then they saw a carriage parked not far away. Madam Jiang... no... Rong Lingzhu lifted the curtain and was about to rush in. The subordinates immediately drew out the swords in their hands and pointed them at Rong Lingzhu.
"What do you do?"
Rong Lingzhu's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly took out the money from his arms and stuffed it into their hands.
"I have divorced Jiang Jianzheng. This is the divorce agreement. I still have some things that I haven't taken with me. I want to take my things with me."
Seeing the divorce letter, Commander Yu frowned.
This is really hard to stop. Since they are getting divorced, it really has nothing to do with the Jiang family.
"Get two people to watch her take things, and if she takes anything more than she wants, chop off her hands."
Rong Lingzhu's eyes flashed fiercely, and then he entered the Jiang Mansion under the supervision of two people.
Looking at this still magnificent and beautiful mansion, Rong Lingzhu's eyes were filled with a trace of attachment and reluctance. She had lived very comfortably here over the years. Although the position of Jiang Jianzheng official was a little lower, her life was free and she could get whatever she wanted.
She stopped when she passed the main courtyard.
In the past, she never dared to enter Jiang Jianzheng's yard, but now she had nothing to be afraid of, so she turned around and pushed her carriage in.
Look up.
But he saw the door of the wing room opened, and Jiang Jian, with half of his hair white, walked out with a cold look on his face.
See her.
Jiang Jianzheng frowned slightly.
"Why do you have so much gray hair?"
Then Rong Lingzhu sneered again.
"Isn't it just the death of a son? Is there any need to be so sad? If you beg me, I can give birth to two more for you."
This mocking tone and provocation pierced Jiang Jianzheng's ears, but it only made his eyes colder. He glanced at Rong Lingzhu and spoke lightly.
"Can you give birth?"
These words made Rong Lingzhu's laughter stuck in her throat, choking her and making her face turn red, but she still raised her face.
"That depends on you. If you beg me, I will help you."
"There are a lot of young and beautiful maids in the mansion. I'm sure that if I ask them, many of them will be willing to be concubines in the Jiang Mansion. It should be much easier for them to give birth to children than for you, right?"
"you……"
Rong Lingzhu was so angry that he clenched his fingers tightly, and didn't know what to say for a moment. He seemed to be disgusted with himself for being old and ugly.
"What qualifications do those lowly women have to enter the gate of Jiang Mansion?"
"You have the nerve to say that about them?"
The sarcasm in Jiang Jianzheng's tone couldn't be more obvious, and even the indifference in his eyes was almost overwhelming.
Rong Lingzhu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
Suddenly she remembered that she was just born to a wet nurse. If it weren't for the Rong family, she wouldn't be living the life she has today.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Jianzheng asked her coldly.
"I'm here to take what belongs to me. You're being blamed by the emperor right now, and he might confiscate your property and kill you. I'm glad I've divorced you, so I'm going to take all my things."
"casual."
Jiang Jianzheng was too lazy to talk to her any more.
"Just go to your yard and collect your things."
Seeing him chasing people away, the guards stepped forward. Rong Lingzhu didn't dare to do anything more and turned around to leave. As soon as he stepped into his yard, he saw his youngest daughter Jiang Fuxiao sitting on the doorstep. Seeing her come back, Jiang Fuxiao's eyes lit up, and he stood up and ran into her arms.
"Mother."
Rong Lingzhu frowned slightly, pushed her away, and hurried into the room to search everywhere.
She remembers.
She had a box of very precious pills, which she had been keeping tightly. She had to find it and bring it to Prince Yueming's mansion to give to Fuqin.
"Mother, what are you looking for?"
Jiang Fuxiao chased in and wanted to help her look for it, but Rong Lingzhu didn't even look at her and said coldly.
"Find a box of medicine. Your sister is seriously injured, but you are still living in the mansion. You have no conscience and don't even think of a solution."
Jiang Fuxiao listened with helplessness in his eyes and choked with sobs.
"Mother, we are locked up here and can't get out. Mother, will you take me with you?"
Although asking this.
But Jiang Fuxiao already had the answer in his heart.
"Why should I take you out? Isn't it good for you to live a good life in Jiang's mansion?"
“You call this a good day?”
Jiang Fuxiao's eyes widened in disappointment. They were being stared at and could hardly move. If it weren't for the abundant supplies in the Jiang Mansion, they might have starved.
"That has nothing to do with me."
Rong Lingzhu opened a secret compartment, and when he saw the box containing the medicine, his eyes were filled with surprise. He quickly took it out and put it in his arms, then put all the jewelry and valuable items that he had not taken away and that he had not valued into his bag, and then went to the closet and moved out a lot of clothes.
Seeing her leaving with lots of bags, Jiang Fuxiao still didn't give up and chased after her with tears in his eyes.
"Mother, do you treat me as your own daughter?"
Rong Lingzhu's face was full of impatience. He turned around and glared at Jiang Fuxiao.
"How could I not treat you as my daughter? I put you in the Jiang Mansion to live a good life, and I went out to suffer. Is that not okay? Do you want to go out with me to live a hard life?"
Jiang Fuxiao listened to her words, bitterness almost flowed from her lips. She walked out of the door, knelt in front of Rong Lingzhu, and kowtowed three times.
"My daughter thanks her mother for giving birth to me and raising me."
When he looked up again, he saw Rong Lingzhu's back. Jiang Fuxiao watched her leave without any mercy and began to cry.
Nanny Leng stepped forward, lifted her up, held her in her arms, and sighed softly.
"You knew this was the result, but you still rushed to confirm it. Miss, you should be more decisive."
It’s better not to have a mother like that.
"You have to die once, right?"
Jiang Fuxiao wiped his tears and sneered at the sight of his mother walking away without even turning her head.
"She was afraid of getting herself into trouble, so she came over quickly to take away the valuables so as to distance herself from the matter."
"Yes, even though she knew something happened in the Jiang Mansion, she still came in to look for medicine for the Third Miss. In fact, she is not without mother-daughter affection."
But that’s not the case for Jiang Fuxiao.
Well, she understood this logic. She was simply blaming herself and hating herself. She hated that she had never gotten pregnant again after giving birth to herself and had no chance to give birth to a son.
But is this Jiang Fuxiao's fault?
Just saying.
The maid came in carrying some things, and Nanny Leng greeted her with a smile.
"This is……"
The maid bowed.
"This is what my young mistress ordered. These are for the fourth young lady. The New Year is coming soon. The young mistress said that we need to prepare everything, including food, clothing, and daily necessities."
"Young Madam is really thoughtful."
Nanny Leng hurriedly led them to put down their things, then thanked them before sending them away.
Jiang Fuxiao couldn't help but show mockery in his eyes as he watched these scenes.
Her own mother treated her like a piece of trash, but her sister-in-law in the mansion still cared about her food, necessities and the New Year.
"Mammy, I will never recognize her again, nor will I recognize Jiang Fuqin."
"You should have done this earlier."
Nanny Leng's expression became serious as she spoke, and she stepped forward and spoke softly.
"Miss, the Jiang family is in trouble right now. We must work together to help them get through this. Only in this way can we show true love in times of trouble. Only then will they remember you and take care of you in the future."
"Mammy is right."
Jiang Fuxiao sat up straight after listening to this. The mansion was in trouble right now, so he had to cheer up.
"We are still strong in the Jiang Mansion. In the past, when a family encountered trouble, the first thing they did was to dismiss the servants. But look, Miss, since what happened in our mansion, has any servant said they want to leave? Everyone has vowed to stay with the Jiang Mansion. Miss, you have to be more discerning and see through all these things."
"Well, listen to Mammy. Mammy will be my mother from now on."
Jiang Fuxiao threw herself into Nanny Leng's arms and hugged her tightly. Nanny Leng burst into tears and sighed in her heart as she listened.
Mrs. Jiang doesn't want such a good daughter and wants to abandon her. She will regret it in the future.
"Miss, although we have to advance and retreat together, if you find a suitable husband, you should still tell the second lady or the young lady and let her decide to marry you off. First, you can leave the Jiang Mansion and avoid more dangers. Second, if there is a suitable opponent who can help the Jiang Mansion, then you will be the benefactor of the Jiang family."
What about this?
It's like making preparations for both situations.
"good."
Jiang Fuxiao thought what he heard made sense. It was time for the Jiang family to win over some forces and take some measures to protect themselves.
"Alas, what a pity! My elder brother was full of vigor and energy, and it was the time for him to show his power. If he hadn't died, our Jiang Mansion would probably be more than just the Imperial Observatory."
"yes."
Speaking of this, the two of them became a little sad again, and for a while they looked at the scenery outside the window in silence.
"I'll go take some soup to my father and my second sister."
Jiang Fuxiao stood up, then brought the soup and walked towards the main courtyard.
Jiang Jianzheng felt somewhat comforted when he saw his sensible daughter and patted her on the head.
"You...your mother and sister have evil intentions. You must not learn from them. Karma in this world will always come naturally when the time comes."
Jiang Fuxiao was frightened by the implication of these words. He nodded, then brought the soup to Jiang Zhaoying, Yang Pianpian, and Princess Tingyun. After she drank it, Jiang Fuxiao stood timidly beside her.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Zhaoying held her hand and whispered to her.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Play the flute, relax, and do what you want to do."
"Is that so?" Jiang Fuxiao's heart trembled slightly, and then asked, "Then I will go make some clothes for my father, okay?"
"good."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded, and then Jiang Fuxiao and Nanny Leng turned around and left.
"The ninth day of next month is full of evil spirits, so it is not a good day for offering sacrifices."
The palace was going to offer sacrifices, and the emperor and the empress personally led a team to the highest point of Tianling Mountain for the sacrifice. Xu Zhiyan sent the documents over. After Jiang Zhaoying and Jiang Jianzheng calculated, they found that evil spirits were rampant in the capital on that day.
If it were in previous years, they would definitely take precautions in advance and prepare the medicine and distribute it to everyone in the capital in advance.
But this time.
There was a hint of coldness in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes.
This time.
Not only does she want to let evil spirits run rampant, she also wants to let evil spirits enter the bodies of everyone she meets in the capital, and she also wants to make the Liu family suffer! ! !
