Chapter 116
How much does she know?
The fourth princess turned around suddenly, and her pair of red eyes pierced Jiang Zhaoying in shock.
How is that possible?
They did it so covertly, without any leaks, that even officials from the court might not be able to find any clues. How did Jiang Zhaoying, a young lady from a wealthy family, know about it?
Just rely on Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang? Just because she can calculate?
This is impossible.
They have made many precautions and improvements in this Shuangguan Town. Even the fake civilians have received strict training and their words and actions are unrecognizable.
How much does she know?
The fourth princess looked at Jiang Zhaoying coldly. To be honest, she disliked Jiang Zhaoying's attitude the most. She was always indifferent and distant, as if it had nothing to do with her, yet she knew everything.
"You're curious about how much I know? Or, do you want to know, besides me, who else knows these things?"
It was like an invisible rope that tied the fourth princess tightly, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Turn around.
She took a deep breath, held her long skirt and ran quickly towards the carriage.
The curtain was lifted.
The third prince's handsome face slowly appeared. He looked at Jiang Zhaoying and smiled.
"If you have the chance to come to Chiyan, I will definitely treat you well."
"I'm afraid there's no chance."
Jiang Zhaoying frowned and shook her head.
The third prince raised his eyebrows.
“I hope there’s a chance.”
After taking a deep look at Jiang Zhaoying, the Third Prince lowered the curtain to block each other's sight. At that moment, the smile on the Third Prince's face suddenly disappeared, revealing an extremely gloomy look.
The carriage started off quickly and ran very fast, disappearing from sight in a moment.
"Miss."
Feicui and Sinan came over and Jiang Zhaoying nodded.
"Let's go back."
Some things should come to an end, and it's time for them to pack up their things.
Lean back on the cushions.
Jiang Zhaoying's mood was neither good nor bad. As the fourth princess's resolute look kept appearing in her mind, Jiang Zhaoying sighed softly.
"Sinan."
Jiang Zhaoying lifted the curtain and Sinan bowed in response.
"Have you checked out the Fourth Princess?"
"I have checked. She is a ruthless character. In order to protect her brother, she has not married yet. She can commit herself to any court official, even a guard, as long as the person is useful and as long as they can be loyal to her brother. Over the years, the fourth princess has won over many people for her brother."
This is also the reason why she doesn't marry a Chiyan person!
Among the people she won over, some were truly loyal to her brother, while others were loyal to her brother because they loved her deeply. To a greater or lesser extent, she became a threat that could not be ignored.
When there is trouble.
Her brother had to rely on the fourth princess, so naturally the siblings were united, but now that he has grown stronger, his sister has become an eyesore.
In order to dispel her brother's doubts, the fourth princess decided to marry far away, which would also help her brother consolidate his position and maybe even get the throne.
And at that time, she happened to meet the King of the Clouds.
A prince who is constantly planning and preparing for himself.
Looks just like her younger brother!
Suddenly.
The fourth princess seemed to have found her own fun again. Since her brother over there didn't need her help, it would be a good choice to change her place and start over and create another glory.
She began to create chance encounters and arrange for heroes to save beauties, and that's how she got to know the King of the Clouds.
The King of Yunzhong seemed to like her very much as his sister, and often came to find her to go out and play together. She also wanted to capture the King of Yunzhong, so she soon made the King of Yunzhong dependent on her.
That short period of time was the happiest time for them.
When there is no one around, they hug each other tightly, entangle with each other, merge into one, and fly into the sky. When there are people around, they hold hands and travel together, eating and drinking delicious food.
Because of each other's existence, time passes quickly and we will soon be separated.
And at that time.
The fourth princess is already showing signs of pregnancy.
In addition, Song Chengyu had caused trouble, and they all knew that the matter had to be resolved quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
then.
And then there is the story that follows.
"Chiyan doesn't seem to have any outstanding princes."
Even though the Fourth Princess has been paving the way for her younger brother for all these years, her younger brother has not made any outstanding achievements so far.
Although the queen gave birth to two sons, one died at the hands of Song Chengyu, and the other was said to be extremely cruel and brave but not wise, so Queen Chi Yan prepared four counselors for him.
far away.
Ziying came riding a horse and bowed.
"Lord Xu and Cheng Ting'an have already gone to Yunzhou."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded.
"You have to go. It's a tough battle, not an easy one."
Although the Crown Prince had already sent people to target Yunzhou and placed people in the Yunzhou army when General Zhang wrote a letter to surrender to the Crown Prince, and had even sent troops to surround Shuangguan Town, and the two sides were fighting, they could not let the matter leak out before the Fourth Princess arrived.
"The Queen of Chi Yan did not receive the silver from Song Chengyu, so she secretly sent people to sneak into our Daye. Now they have entered the capital and are lurking around the Song Mansion and keeping an eye on it all the time."
"oh?"
Jiang Zhaoying raised her eyes and looked around. This Queen Chiyan was really...
"What about the child? They didn't bring him here?"
"I'm really not sure about this. I'll have to check it out again."
Ziying said this and left.
Jiang Zhaoying frowned. If someone really came over there, they would definitely bring the child with them to threaten the Fourth Princess nearby. This would be much more effective than leaving the child where Chi Yan could not see or touch him.
so.
The child is likely to have arrived in the capital.
"ah."
With a cry of surprise, Jiang Zhaoying hurriedly lifted the curtain.
But he saw an older woman falling to the ground holding a child. Without waiting for Jiang Zhaoying's instructions, Si Nan hurried forward and helped the person up.
"I'm so sorry, are you okay? Is the child hurt?"
Jiang Zhaoying asked hurriedly. When the elder sister saw someone was going to help her, she quickly stood up with the child in her arms and shook her head.
She didn't say anything, but just hugged the child tightly and shook her head warily.
"I'm glad she's okay, Sinan. Give her some silver. If she gets hurt, go see a doctor right away."
The woman took the silver, nodded hurriedly, then turned around and left with the child in her arms.
Jiang Zhaoying stared at the way the older sister walked and frowned slightly.
The way she walked and the pace she took were not like those of people from the capital.
and.
The mother fell down while holding her child. As a mother, she did not immediately check whether the child was fallen or injured. Instead, she subconsciously held the child tightly, as if she was afraid that someone else would snatch the child away.
The carriage continued to move forward, but Jiang Zhaoying always felt that something was wrong.
"Sinan, go follow that big sister, I feel like something is wrong."
Si Nan responded and hurriedly chased after him.
However.
I searched several alleys but couldn't find the lady and the child anymore. It was as if they disappeared out of thin air.
Seeing Si Nan coming back so quickly, Jiang Zhaoying knew that she had guessed right.
"It seems that our guess was correct. The child really came to Beijing. I took a look just now and the child did not look healthy. He seemed to be sick."
"It seems that the fourth princess is going to return."
That’s fine!
In this way, Xu Zhiyan and his team will have more time to gather and tidy up Yunzhou, and Shuangguan Town will definitely no longer exist.
If he wants to take all the initiative back into his own hands, there will probably be turmoil over there for a while.
When the turmoil subsides, whoever these troops belong to will be the real mastermind behind the scenes.
"Let's go back first."
Jiang Zhaoying leaned back and closed her eyes.
After returning to the Song Mansion.
The first thing was to ask Nanny Li and the others to pack up and prepare to move out.
Mrs. Song was in Song Chengyu's room. She felt relieved when she saw that his injuries were finally getting better.
When Nanny Liu came in hurriedly, Madam Song frowned slightly and said in a cold voice.
"Why are you so panicked? Is that little bitch Jiang Zhaoying back? Has she agreed to the marriage between the Fourth Princess and Cheng Yu?"
With the emperor putting pressure on her, there is no need to worry that she will disagree.
Thinking that Jiang Zhaoying would agree to spend a large sum of money to let them get married in a grand ceremony under the persuasion of the Fourth Princess, that their Song Mansion would soon become more prosperous and she could marry the head of the Song clan, Mrs. Song felt extremely happy and beamed with joy.
When Madam Liu saw her wife's innocent appearance, her heart was suddenly torn apart.
How come she still can't see clearly that not everything is as she controls, everything has long been out of her control and is developing in its own direction.
Patriarch Song had no intention of marrying her. After he returned home, he stayed indoors and gave all the good things to his son.
The Song Marquis Mansion is now surrounded and people can only enter but not leave.
and.
Nanny Liu pointed in the direction of the yard outside.
"Someone has come to the palace, ma'am."
Mrs. Song's face lit up with joy.
"Then why are you just standing there? Hurry up and greet them. I'll go out and meet them right away."
As she spoke, Mrs. Song patted Song Chengyu on the head.
"It must have been done. There are rewards from the palace. With your aunt and King Yunzhong here, everything will be fine."
Song Chengyu nodded and wanted to turn over, but the pain immediately stabbed him, making him extremely irritated.
"Go and invite Miss Shisu over."
Song Chengyu frowned and gave the order, the servant responded and then turned and left.
Thinking of Zi Su's considerate look, Song Chengyu's eyes began to flutter. He had thought it through. When he could get out of bed, he would confess to Miss Zi Su and hope she could stay as his concubine. He would never treat Zi Su unfairly.
Mrs. Song held her head high and happily left the room with Nanny Liu.
There were six palace maids, three eunuchs, and three guards standing in the yard. When they saw Madam Song, they looked at her coldly and did not greet her.
Mrs. Song was immediately unhappy.
"What's going on? What are you all doing? You don't even kneel down when you see me?"
Seeing Madam Song putting on the airs of a marquis' wife, the eunuchs chuckled and said coldly.
"Why should I kneel to you? Who do you think you are?"
Mrs. Song was so frightened by the eunuchs' arrogance that her eyelids twitched. She raised her hand and slapped the leading eunuch.
"My mansion will soon be more than just a mansion. In the future, we will marry the princess of Chiyan Country. I am the maiden family of Empress Song, and I am also the aunt of King Yunzhong. Why don't you kneel to me?"
The father-in-law's face was tilted from side to side after being hit, and his fair face instantly turned red. He stroked it lightly with his long white fingers, and then sneered.
"Still dreaming about this and that? I'm afraid you don't know?"
Bang.
Song Chengyu, who was in the room, heard the noise outside and became very anxious. He crawled under the bed and fell to the ground.
Miss Zisu happened to arrive at the gate of the courtyard, and when she heard her father-in-law's words, she hurriedly stopped.
"Empress Song is dead, and King Yunzhong is also dead."
The father-in-law sneered, glared at Mrs. Song and shouted loudly.
Bang.
When Song Chengyu, who was lying on the bed, heard these words, he felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart. His face turned pale and while he was struggling, his body fell to the cold floor with a bang.
Mrs. Song was stunned, glared at her eunuchs, and then cursed.
"You want to scare me with this? Empress Song is so favored, how could she die? Prince Yunzhong is the emperor's favorite son, how could he die? Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"What did you say?"
Song Chengyu grabbed the door tightly, stumbled out, and grabbed the eunuch who was leading the group.
"What did you say? Why did they die?"
How is this possible?
He had been fine all along, how could he die suddenly? The Fourth Princess had already arrived, and Yunzhou was almost ready, so why did something go wrong?
"Why?"
Eunuch Lin pushed Song Chengyu away with some disgust and patted his sleeves.
"The emperor knows everything about Yunzhou and the scandal of the Song Mansion. Not only will they die, but you will not live either."
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
The father-in-law smiled and looked at Mrs. Song with contempt.
"I never thought that the wife of a marquis would be such a despicable person. Not only did she commit adultery with the leader of the Song clan, but she also..."
After saying.
The eunuch looked at Song Chengyu. Madam Song turned pale when she heard this and pushed the eunuch towards her and screamed.
"What did you say? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Several eunuchs were pushed back several steps, but instead of getting angry, they burst into laughter.
"She still has some dignity, hahaha."
Are you panicking and wanting to interrupt them and make them shut up? Isn't it because you're afraid that they'll be embarrassed if they say something?
Song Chengyu felt his body go cold as he listened to the eunuchs' laughter. He was extremely anxious and stepped forward to grab his eunuch's hand and said hastily.
"Where is the Fourth Princess? Where is the Fourth Princess? I want to see the Fourth Princess!"
"The fourth princess has left the capital with their bodies. Song Chengyu, you are no longer the prince of the Song Mansion. You will be worse than us in the future. The Song Mansion will be taken back soon. Pack up and get ready to leave. Otherwise, what will happen? Do you still plan to stay here?"
thump.
Song Chengyu suddenly fell to the ground. When he looked up at Mrs. Song, both of them were stunned.
His face turned pale little by little, he was so panicked that he felt like he was floating in the air, his mind was becoming more and more confused and buzzing, he didn't know what to do.
How could this happen?
Is Empress Song dead? Song Chengyu is dead?
But they had planned so well and prepared so fully, but where were the soldiers from Yunzhou? How come there is no use for raising so many soldiers?
At least the enemy is at the gates and we can fight to the death.
"Jiang Zhaoying, where is Jiang Zhaoying? Go find her. Didn't she move a lot of things away? Even if we are kicked out of the Song Mansion, we still have her and the Song clan leader. Go inform the Song clan leader that I want to see her."
"yes."
Nanny Liu responded in a trembling voice, turned around and gave instructions, then asked someone to call all the servants to gather at Kongliu Cottage.
When Jiang Zhaoying and the others were moving things out bit by bit, they suddenly saw Madam Song, Song Chengyu and their servants all rushing into Kongliu Cottage.
"do what?"
Nanny Li was originally sitting on a chair, chatting with Jiang Zhaoying.
Seeing people rushing in, his brows were filled with anger and he shouted angrily, which scared all the servants.
"Madame Li."
Aunt Yu's eyes were filled with fear.
"Someone came from the palace and said that Empress Song was dead and Prince Yunzhong was also dead. How is this possible? The palace is in chaos right now and it's hard for anyone to survive."
"Can't survive?" Nanny Li glanced at Madam Song. "That's because they can't survive. You can leave the Song Mansion."
"We are willing to leave, but... but are we just going to leave like this?"
Aunt Yu said this and looked at Jiang Zhaoying.
"Madam, can you please be merciful and give us some money to send all these servants away?"
As she spoke, Aunt Yu led everyone to kneel in front of Jiang Zhaoying. Nanny Li looked at the things in her hand and threw them to the ground.
"What's the matter? You used to act like a tyrant in front of my young lady, wanting to step on them, but now you know how powerful you are and remember my young lady's kindness?"
