Chapter 7
So her letter was not addressed to you.
"Let's go."
As the wife of Song Chengyu and the daughter of Jiang Jianzheng, she naturally had to enter the palace with him, and the patriarch of the Song family also went with him.
after all.
She wanted Patriarch Song to witness this scene with his own eyes, and then bring back her son's body and return it to Madam Song. It must be very interesting, right?
"Zhaoying."
The voice of Patriarch Song sounded, Jiang Zhaoying turned around and saluted, and Patriarch Song stepped forward and nodded.
"Be careful when you enter the palace, and don't offend the nobles."
"Yes, uncle."
Seeing that she was well-behaved and obedient, Patriarch Song breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to signal her to get on the carriage, and then got on himself.
The curtain fell.
A flash of heartache flashed across Xu Zhiyan's eyes, and then he withdrew his gaze, which was instantly replaced by a thin layer of coldness.
"Zhi Yan, this incident happened too suddenly. We didn't have time to plan and prepare. Zhao Ying dragged the emperor into this trap, and you brought in the prince. But if something unexpected happens, you should know how serious the consequences will be."
After reading the letter, Xu Zhiyan's face changed drastically, and then he rushed to prepare. Wei Jiuzhao didn't even have time to ask him what happened.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiyan left the letter to him. The moment he finished reading it, Wei Jiuzhao had already gone over all the consequences that might happen in his mind.
Ying'er must help, but not so hastily or impulsively. Once Song Chengyu's precious blood fails to cure the emperor's angina pectoris, the blame will be placed on him, and the Imperial Observatory and even the entire Jiang family will be executed. Such a price is really too high.
Zhiyan entered the Jiang Mansion when he was five years old. Ying'er had just been born at that time, and he has been guarding and protecting her every day. It has been eighteen years now. During these years, he has hidden his feelings very well, but as the eldest brother, they are all men, so how could he not see it?
But these are not as important as everyone’s lives.
Xu Zhiyan listened to the rebuke from his senior brother and lowered his eyelids. There was no trace of fear on his cold and handsome face. It was a while before he spoke.
"That's why Ying'er's letter was given to me, the second senior brother, instead of you, the eldest senior brother!"
Wei Jiuzhao was stunned.
He looked at Xu Zhiyan solemnly, and his beautiful face gradually turned slightly pale.
yes.
Ying'er has always been very respectful to him as her senior brother, but she often acts like a cute and naive daughter to Xu Zhiyan. They have always been very close.
Before, he felt a little jealous and said that Ying'er was partial to one and not the other, but Ying'er just smiled and said nothing. Now, it seems that he knows why without Ying'er's answer.
Helplessness floated in his eyes and a bitter smile appeared on Wei Jiuzhao's red lips.
"You blame me for not considering her first, but as the eldest senior brother, I have to consider the overall situation. Besides, as long as it is Ying'er's business, I will not let it go."
"I know, Big Brother, Ying'er also understands."
Xu Zhiyan patted Wei Jiuzhao on the shoulder, as if to comfort him, but to Wei Jiuzhao it felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat, making it even more bitter.
He didn't know whether Ying'er would blame him after this incident. If he continued to talk about the overall situation, it would pale in front of Xu Zhiyan.
The atmosphere seemed a little heavy during the rest of the journey, and no one spoke.
Xu Zhiyan sat upright with his eyes lightly closed. Wei Jiuzhao lowered his eyes with a gloomy expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The closer we got to the palace, the more nervous we became. This incident happened too suddenly and no one had time to plan, so no one knew what uncontrollable things would happen next.
The corpse was carried directly into the Longyin Palace. The emperor was leaning on a cushion with his hair slightly hanging down and his face was pale blue, probably because he had just had a heart attack.
There was a faint scent of medicine in the hall. The medicine bowl was still in the hands of Eunuch Wu, and a palace maid was holding a handkerchief and gently wiping the sweat from the emperor's forehead.
Eunuch Chen looked worried and glanced at Eunuch Wu. Eunuch Wu handed over the medicine bowl. Eunuch Chen nodded and hurried forward to salute, then reported the matter in detail to the emperor.
The emperor then looked at Jiang Jianzheng, who was standing beside him with his eyes lowered and respectful. Jiang Jianzheng bowed before walking towards Song Chengyu's body.
When the white cloth covering him was lifted, his expression suddenly changed.
"If the breath is impure, the body is impure."
Holding Song Chengyu's wrist, Jiang Jianzheng took a silver needle, let out a drop of blood, and then tasted it himself. With a gloomy expression, he turned around and glared at Jiang Zhaoying fiercely.
“Kneel down!”
Jiang Zhaoying seemed startled, and hurried forward and knelt down obediently. As soon as her knees touched the ground, she heard Jiang Jianzheng's harsh scolding above her head.
"All the things I taught you were in vain. You are so fickle and shameless. You did such a shameless thing with him before we even got married and broke his virginity!"
"Father?"
Jiang Zhaoying's face turned pale, tears of grievance suddenly overflowed, she looked up at Jiang Jianzheng and said anxiously.
"My daughter has never had an affair with anyone!"
Jiang Zhaoying didn't care about anything else when she said that. She raised her fair arm and pointed at the toad's sand, choking with sobs.
"It took only three hours from the time the wedding sedan left the house to the time it entered the Song Mansion. Because she was getting married, she was so nervous that she didn't sleep for several days and nights. She couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep. She didn't know when Song Chengyu entered the room. When she opened her eyes again, he was dead."
"What's wrong?"
The emperor's brows were tightly furrowed, and the sinister look in his eyes surged into the inner hall like a huge wave.
Patriarch Song understood what Jiang Jianzheng meant as soon as he turned his eyes, and was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Song Chengyu was certainly not a virgin. He had been in an affair with Shen Yuefu for two years.
This Shen Yuefu was the daughter of Madam Song’s younger sister. Madam Song loved her very much, but unfortunately her family background was not very high and she didn’t have much money, which was far inferior to Jiang Zhaoying.
If nothing had happened, it should have been Shen Yuefu who married Cheng Yu!
I used to think that it didn't matter what they did, as they would be carried into the house anyway, but I didn't expect that they would cause such a disaster.
If they fail to save the emperor, the Song family will be punished with even more serious crimes.
"Return to the Emperor."
Jiang Jianzheng returned to the emperor.
"Song Chengyu is no longer a virgin, so the effect of this heart blood may be discounted, but it will still be effective."
After saying.
Jiang Jianzheng glanced at Jiang Zhaoying, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Zhaoying is right.
Only in this way can the impending danger be avoided. If the blood is useless, the responsibility can be pushed onto Song Chengyu.
certainly.
There was another deeper reason, but Zhaoying did not say it explicitly, only saying that it had to be explained by Mrs. Song.
so.
He was also very curious about how Mrs. Song would resolve this fake death situation.
Purse your lips slightly.
Jiang Zhaoying turned her head to look at Xu Zhiyan. Xu Zhiyan's cold expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were gentle and he nodded slightly.
He has already asked people to do something, and now Song Qinghuan and Madam Song are rushing towards the palace like crazy, and they will surely arrive soon.
