Jiang Sixian finally raised her hand and stroked her eyebrows and eyes. "I experienced family upheaval in my childhood and always wanted to stand out from the crowd, so I was competitive. I competed my whole life, resented my whole life, and hated my whole life. I used every means and scheme I could, but I still couldn't get what I wanted and ended up like this."
"You must remember not to follow in my footsteps."
Shen Zhixian choked back tears and finally threw herself into her arms, bursting into sobs.
"mother."
Jiang Sixian's hand stiffened slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of emotion on her face, but it quickly disappeared.
She picked up the poisoned wine on the table. The wine was clear and reflected her face, which had been cleansed of heavy makeup and was now bare, revealing her elegant and graceful beauty.
So this is what she was supposed to look like.
She laughed, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
Shen Zhixian heard the soft sound of a wine glass falling onto the table, and looked up in surprise, her voice breaking.
"mother!"
The poison takes effect very quickly.
That was a pain Jiang Sixian had never experienced before; she convulsed and fell off the armchair.
Shen Zhixian hurriedly caught her, at a loss, and cried out "Mother" sadly.
Jiang Sixian curled up in pain, but with her last bit of strength, she managed to utter two words.
"revenge!"
**
Jiang Sixian is dead.
When the news reached the princess's residence, Jiang Shuman was indignant.
“She wanted our whole family to die, but we have to cover up her crimes. It’s so unfair.”
Xiao Yitang said, "This kind of thing can't be made public. Witchcraft can lead to the extermination of nine generations of a family. The Emperor is doing this to protect the entire Jiang family."
Therefore, it seems that the Emperor did not suspect the Jiang family.
Jiang Shuman calmed down, "But she never revealed the mastermind before she died, which is unlike her. Could there be a trap here?"
"What's so strange about that?"
Xiao Yitang teased her baby daughter in the cradle and said calmly, "The person who could come up with such a vicious plan to harm us must hate the entire Jiang family to the bone. Your aunt was strong-willed her whole life, how could she possibly repent before her death? She probably wants to keep this troublesome seed to continue to deal with our family."
Jiang Shumiao nodded repeatedly in her heart.
[The mother is clever, and the male lead is psychologically twisted and utterly wicked. He's probably plotting against our family again right now.]
Xiao Yitang and Jiang Shuman exchanged a glance.
“This person is hiding in the shadows and must have some dealings with Shen Jiming. I’ll have someone keep an eye on him for twelve hours a day. I don’t believe he won’t slip up.”
[Keeping watch on them is useless. The emperor's uncle wants to adopt the male lead's suggestion to abolish the Nine-Rank System and establish the Imperial Examination System instead, but this is opposed by the ministers, except for my uncle-in-law. It's perfectly normal for them to have close contact in private.]
Xiao Yitang and Jiang Shuman's expressions both changed.
The person who proposed the imperial examination system was Wen Zhixuan, the imperial tutor of the time.
