Chapter 152
Want your life
The gloom in the emperor's eyes surged slightly, and his long fingers tapped lightly on the armrest as if he was wavering.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Liu, who had been standing aside with a cold look on his face and not saying a word, felt gloomy in his heart and stood up and bowed.
"Your Majesty, what the Crown Prince said makes sense, but it makes Your Majesty's words seem a bit frivolous. Besides, is our Great Ye Kingdom in trouble without Jiang Zhenggan? There must be many capable people who can help. I will send people out to find them. If they are found, we will not need them. If they are useful, we can teach the Jiang family a lesson in the next few days. If we reinstate him, he will be grateful and will not dare to have second thoughts in the future. What we need to do now is to calculate the date first, and then take precautions from now on."
Winter is coming and the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, so it must be happening very soon.
"Father."
King Yueming also stepped forward.
"Since Prime Minister Liu is looking for talented people, I will prepare for the defense!"
With the royal temple there, they should know what are the best precautions to take. We can go to the temple and ask in detail later.
Besides.
This kind of thing is the easiest to win people's hearts and minds, and once it is done well, the prestige of his Prince Yue's Mansion will rise steadily in the hearts of the people.
The events in Qingshan Town have increased the prince's prestige among the people, which is something King Yueming does not want to see.
"allow."
The emperor was very satisfied with their initiative, which was much better than the prince who was blocking the way. After saying that, the emperor frowned and glared at the prince coldly.
"That's all."
Since there is a solution to the problem, let's see the results first. If it doesn't work, it will be the same to look for Jiang Zhenggan. He will definitely not order Jiang Zhenggan to reinstate his post immediately. In Daye, no one can threaten him as the emperor.
"With the commotion outside, the Crown Prince should go out and properly handle it. No more trouble should occur."
"I will go right away."
The Crown Prince accepted the order, and Jiang Zhaoying also bowed, and left with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, one after the other.
There were shadowy figures on the palace road, and the palace servants were busy with their work with their heads down. They saw His Highness kneeling silently to salute and then went about their own business. The palace walls were high, and people seemed to be trapped in this square world.
"Remember this in the future. Even if you are worried about me, don't come here alone. It's too dangerous."
The prince slowed down his pace and waited until Jiang Zhaoying caught up before speaking to him in a gentle voice.
"If you are in danger, that is what I least want to see."
Perhaps it was because of the sunlight, but when Jiang Zhaoying looked up at the prince, her cold eyes actually had a hint of warmth, and she nodded slightly.
"kindness."
First, she was worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and second, she had to go into the palace to see the reaction there so that she could better respond.
"Prime Minister Liu's methods are amazing, but in some aspects, he is too naive."
There was a hint of murderous intent in Jiang Zhaoying's tone.
"All talented people in the world are under the supervision of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. Without the consent of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, no one dares to speak nonsense."
This is an unwritten rule in the world, but no one talks about it or mentions it, so no one knows much about it.
"Even if some disobedient people dare to come out and cause trouble, they will be killed by us. Your Highness, if we really let them find us, we will let them go to the capital. Their first stop must be the Jiang Mansion. In addition, we have already calculated the date, and we will send all the necessary tools to ward off evil spirits to your house at that time. You must remember to wear them."
What was prepared was not only sachets, but also clothes, belts, jewelry, handkerchiefs, etc. soaked in medicine.
"Your Highness is better off not going out when this happens. It's really dangerous."
"I've made a note of it."
The prince turned his head and glanced at Jiang Zhaoying deeply. Seeing that there was no one around, he reached out and held her hand.
"I didn't know that you were in charge of all the extraordinary people in the world. This is very good news."
There was a slight noise not far away, so the prince let go of Jiang Zhaoying. The two of them kept a distance from each other, and then when the man came closer, the prince asked Jiang Zhaoying.
"Have you figured out which day it is?"
When Jiang Zhaoying heard his slightly raised voice, her eyes flickered slightly and she spoke softly.
"On the fifth of next month."
The fifth day?
The person hiding in the dark frowned, the fifth day is the birthday of His Royal Highness Prince Yue Ming, why would it be on that day?
no.
He had to go back and report.
When the figure left quietly, Jiang Zhaoying took a look with a hint of sarcasm.
The fifth day of the first lunar month is King Yueming's birthday, and she wants King Yueming to have no birthday to celebrate.
Arrived at the palace gate.
When the guards opened the palace gate, Jiang Zhaoying lowered her eyes and told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the ninth day of the first lunar month. The Crown Prince nodded and then walked towards the palace gate.
When Taifu Chang saw the Crown Prince and Jiang Zhaoying coming out together, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the Crown Prince's heart belonged to Jiang Zhaoying. At first, he didn't like it and disagreed. After all, Jiang Zhaoying was divorced and didn't deserve the noble status of Crown Princess.
But now he knows.
These people behind her and many of the operations inside were all facilitated by Jiang Zhaoying.
At the moment it seems.
This woman is both brave and resourceful, worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
When he went to greet him, he was also very friendly to Jiang Zhaoying, and the common people were so happy to see His Highness that they applauded.
"Your Highness, now that you are out, how difficult is it for the Emperor?"
God knows how worried he is that Prime Minister Liu and Prince Yue Ming will stab the Crown Prince in the back. Once the Emperor gives birth to a deposed Crown Prince, or if they intend to kill the Crown Prince, the situation will become more and more serious.
This is Prime Minister Liu’s residence.
It seems that we have to pull it down.
"Your Highness, this Prime Minister Liu's Mansion..."
The Crown Prince and Master Chang nodded, indicating that they understood, and then replied.
"It's OK. Thank you for your concern. Go back quickly, or your legs will hurt again if you get too much wind."
Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still concerned about his leg pain from standing in the wind for too long, Master Chang was really touched and nodded quickly.
"Very good, Your Highness is so kindhearted that he even took my little fault to heart. I am touched and will go back to rest now."
After saying that.
With the help of his servants, Master Chang limped towards the carriage.
Amid everyone's eager gazes and cheers, the prince and Jiang Zhaoying each got on their carriages and slowly left.
Cheng Ting'an came running over on horseback from a distance, bowed, and then stepped forward to speak to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"The guards surrounding the Jiang Mansion have all retreated. Supervisor Jiang does not have to leave the Jiang Mansion, and he is not prohibited from entering or leaving. But there is nothing else."
"No problem."
The prince's eyes turned cold. He had no intention of reinstating Jiang Jianzheng. The effect of this matter would have to be seen when the evil energy occurred. He wanted everyone to know that it would not work without Jiang Jianzheng and Jiang Zhaoying.
"Miss Hujiang is back home."
"yes."
Cheng Ting'an rode his horse and turned away, following Jiang Zhaoying's carriage from a distance. He looked up and around but did not see Ziying. He thought Jiang Zhaoying might have asked Ziying to guard the Jiang Mansion, so he did not follow.
However.
When they had only walked halfway, they saw Ziying riding a horse and galloping towards them.
When Jiang Zhaoying heard the familiar sound of horse hooves, she immediately lifted the curtain and asked Ziying with a serious face.
"What's wrong?"
But at the same time, his heart suddenly sank. If something big hadn't happened, Ziying wouldn't have come out.
"Miss, after the Royal Guards withdrew, someone took advantage of the handover to sneak into the mansion, and now the young master... the young master is missing."
Although Ziying didn't have the heart to say that the body was missing, Jiang Zhaoying felt a fishy and sweet taste rising in her throat. She then jumped out of the carriage. Ziying reached out and caught Jiang Zhaoying, then took her and rushed towards the Jiang Mansion almost like an arrow.
Cheng Ting'an stood there in a daze. It took him a while before he suddenly remembered that the young master was talking about Jiang Zhiyu.
Isn’t Jiang Zhiyu dead?
Someone stole Jiang Zhiyu's body and used it to threaten Miss Jiang?
not good.
Cheng Ting'an's face changed drastically. He grabbed the reins and turned to run.
This is really... one wave has not yet settled, another wave comes. Who is so wicked that he repeatedly forces the Jiang family into a dead end?
When Jiang Zhaoying rushed into the mansion with a pale face, the mansion was almost in chaos.
Yang Pianpian grabbed a big knife and searched everywhere with gritted teeth, tears tightly held in her eyes, but the moment she saw Jiang Zhaoying coming back, she fell to the ground and screamed in hatred.
"These bitches, damned bastards, stole my husband's body. Zhaoying, help me get it back, help me."
She had already lost the living Jiang Zhiyu, and she couldn't lose the dead one again. She couldn't bear it.
Jiang Zhaoying rushed forward and helped her up, then they ran towards the ice cellar together.
The lights were bright inside, but the big ice bed was empty. The ice coffin was smashed and Jiang Zhiyu inside was nowhere to be seen.
"When the Royal Guards withdrew, there was some unrest in the mansion. During this time, someone stole him away."
The servant spoke in a trembling voice behind Jiang Zhaoying.
"The master has gone to the government office, but Lord Wang is not there. After checking, it seems that someone from Prime Minister Liu's residence called him over. Miss, it is because of our servants' incompetence that such mistakes occurred."
"Prime Minister Liu's residence!"
Jiang Zhaoying clenched her long fingers into a fist and uttered these four words through gritted teeth: this was delaying time, this was forcing her to show up.
Turn around.
Jiang Zhaoying rushed to the front hall and picked up the sword that Yang Pianpian had dropped on the ground. After leaving the house, she jumped on her horse and rushed towards Prime Minister Liu's residence.
There were five streets between the two mansions, and it took a stick of incense to gallop on horseback.
When she rushed to the gate of the mansion, the guards immediately surrounded her when they saw her holding a knife, but the door opened at this time, and Liu Yanchen walked out slowly with his tall and graceful figure. Looking at Jiang Zhaoying's out-of-control expression, there was a hint of heartache in his eyes.
"Leave this matter to me, okay?"
His father mobilized a group of assassins to bring out Jiang Zhiyu's body. He just found out about this.
Those assassins were carefully trained in the mansion and would not be deployed unless it was a life-and-death situation, but my father exposed them easily.
"He's fine now. He won't be damaged at all. Don't worry."
"Give him back to me."
Jiang Zhaoying pointed the knife in her hand at Liu Yanchen. Complex expressions kept appearing in Liu Yanchen's eyes. He could not return the body to Jiang Zhaoying before the evil spirit entered the city.
because.
This matter must be resolved by the Imperial Observatory and the Royal Temple together. All the shocking events in previous years are still vivid in our minds. It is a very dangerous and difficult task. Both the Imperial Observatory and the Royal Temple are indispensable.
Although he had sent people out to look for masters in this world to come to his house to find a way to solve this problem, but who in the world could be more powerful than the Imperial Observatory?
"Zhaoying, I promise not to hurt him. When the time comes, I will return him to you, okay?"
If we don't have any evidence against the Jiang family, they will never come out to help.
The emperor stood on the side of the Liu family and blocked this incident for them, but it was not for nothing.
The condition is.
The Liu family must take full responsibility for the evil spirit that has entered the city this time. There must not be too many casualties, otherwise the Liu family will be held accountable.
The court officials only felt that the emperor was being used by the Liu family, but wasn’t the emperor just throwing a hot potato to them?
and.
They all discovered that the entire Imperial Observatory was used by Jiang Jianzheng, and no one else could control them.
It is impossible for Xu Zhiyan to fail to calculate the exact date. Not only are all the other disciples Jiang Jianzheng's disciples, but they were also recruited one by one from all over Daye by Jiang Jianzheng over the years and promoted after layers of assessment. They usually perform well, and there is no reason for them to become mediocre as soon as Jiang Jianzheng leaves.
The occurrence of this incident made them feel extremely frightened. A small Jiang Jianzheng actually held the entire Imperial Observatory in his hands, and even held the destiny of the entire country in his hands.
No.
It would be better to say it is Jiang Zhaoying rather than Jiang Jianzheng.
He told his father that it was not appropriate to make enemies with the Jiang family, but no one could suppress his father's crazy personality.
"Liu Yanchen, your methods are too despicable, so despicable that it's disgusting."
Killing people and stealing corpses are simply insane.
These words almost embarrassed Liu Yanchen to the extreme. He knew that his father's methods were despicable, but he was his father. What should he do?
"Jiang Zhaoying, let's make a deal."
"What kind of deal?"
Jiang Zhaoying's eyes were red.
"As long as you can put down the evil spirits as you did in the past and reduce the casualties to a minimum, I will definitely send Jiang Zhiyu back in the best coffin."
"I want to see him."
Jiang Zhaoying was truly anxious and for a moment she couldn't control the murderous intent in her hands.
Liu Yanchen looked at her anxious expression and felt as if a thorn was piercing his heart.
"I can't let you see him for now, but I promise he's fine. You can go back first."
Just saying.
The gate of Liu Mansion suddenly opened, and the cold and evil figure of Liu Xiang slowly walked out. When his eyes fell on Jiang Zhaoying, there was an incomprehensible but extremely hot fire in the depths of his eyes. He looked at Jiang Zhaoying deeply, walked down the steps step by step, and looked up at Jiang Zhaoying on horseback.
"You and her are so alike."
"shut up."
Jiang Zhaoying naturally knew that he was talking about her mother. A feeling of humiliation made Jiang Zhaoying extremely angry, with murderous intent filling her eyes. She swung the knife in her hand fiercely at Prime Minister Liu.
Prime Minister Liu was startled by the rampant murderous aura, but he stood there motionless. Only when the knife was deflected by Liu Yanchen's sword did he reveal a satisfied smile.
"Do you know why I have been tolerating you and enduring you?"
He looked at Jiang Zhaoying deeply, the domineering and possessive desire in his eyes almost no longer hidden.
The girl in front of him has grown up and is married. She understands the relationships between men and women, as well as love, so he doesn't need to hide it anymore.
"If it weren't for your mother, it would be easier for me to crush you than to crush an ant."
The bloodshot in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes turned into endless rage. She glared at Liu Xiang, wishing she could tear him to pieces.
But Prime Minister Liu didn't care at all. In his eyes, a little girl being a little stubborn and impulsive was just a bit more fun and not a threat. If Jiang Zhaoying wanted to make a fuss, then let her make a fuss. She would naturally be obedient after making enough fuss.
His eyes became increasingly hotter, like a burning fire, leaving no place for people to escape.
"but……"
Prime Minister Liu took two steps forward and gently stroked the horse's mane. The horse let out an unwilling roar but Prime Minister Liu grabbed it tightly with one hand.
"If you are willing to enter the Liu Mansion and take the position of hostess, everything will be different. I will give you everything, no matter what you want."
"I want your life."
Jiang Zhaoying quickly took out the dagger from her body and stabbed it hard at Prime Minister Liu's heart. Prime Minister Liu still had a strange smile on his face and dodged. His eyes were looking at Jiang Zhaoying, but Jiang Zhaoying knew that he was looking through her at his mother.
"My personality is exactly the same as hers. How can I let it go?"
So many years.
From the moment she died, he had deeply engraved that daughter into his heart and his bones.
He had been waiting for Jiang Zhaoying to grow up, and now she really did not disappoint him at all.
"Jiang Zhaoying, as long as you are willing to marry into the Liu Mansion, everything in the Liu Mansion will be yours. As long as you want it, I will help you get it. If you want to know anything about your mother, I can tell you."
Behind.
When Liu Yanchen heard his father's words, his face became as gloomy as if a storm was about to come.
He knew what his father was thinking, but he had at least kept it to himself before. But now, he said it out loud in front of a teenage girl. It was simply...
Jiang Zhaoying looked at Liu Xiang coldly. This man was handsome, with bright eyes and eyebrows. He was very charming when he smiled. It was no wonder that her mother had fallen in love with him. But this man was simply a lunatic, a creepy lunatic. It was no wonder that her mother decisively left him.
Lean over.
She looked at Yoo Sang.
"Even if I marry, I will marry your son Liu Yanchen. What's the point of marrying an old man like you?"
“…”
The smile on Liu Xiang's face suddenly faded, as if it was sealed. He was filled with gloom and anger as he glared at Jiang Zhaoying.
This was the word he hated to hear the most, and also the word he was most terrified to hear.
His son is indeed outstanding enough, like a dragon among men, it would not be an exaggeration for him to be the emperor.
These years.
He had been suppressing Liu Yanchen, but he was like a divine general emerging from the earth, and he could not be suppressed at all.
"Liu Xiang, give my brother back to me."
Jiang Zhaoying heard the noise behind her and knew they were coming. She dismounted and spoke in a cold voice. Then, Ziying and Sinan led all the strong servants of the Jiang Mansion and rushed over here.
"Miss, we are here."
Ah Si, Ah Wu and the others shouted in unison behind Jiang Zhaoying.
During this period, after recovering from their injuries, they hired a martial arts master to teach them martial arts. Now, they were glaring at Liu Mansion, ready to fight to the death!
