“Shang Yu came over yesterday and told me about the Ninth Prince,” Yue Jiang then told Jing Yan what Shang Yu had said.
After listening, Jing Yan frowned slightly: "You suspect that it was instructed by the Yongshou Palace?"
Whether it is Yongshou Palace or not, Jingyi has already given Yuejiang the answer, but she will not draw a conclusion with Jingyan.
After all, without understanding the purpose of Yongshou Palace, Yuejiang could not arbitrarily accuse Yongshou Palace of a crime.
At present, she only has one guess, and Yue Jiang tries to deduce it.
"I don't know, but Jingyi will be of marriageable age this winter. Don't be fooled by her current playfulness and lack of interest in anything. If she ever falls in love, it will only be for a moment."
"It's really troublesome to like someone you shouldn't like, and then have someone with ulterior motives pushing you along!"
It seems that Jingning is going to marry into the Jade Kingdom and will soon become the mother of the country, enjoying the glory of her motherland and her brothers with the position of empress.
Everyone knows that the Jade Emperor is old, and no matter how glorious Jingning's position as Empress is, it has its time limit, even if she can give the Jade Emperor an heir in the near future.
The Jade Kingdom already has a grown-up crown prince. Can the Jade Kingdom's crown prince allow his position to be threatened?
Empress Dowager Zheng was gambling with Jing Ning's life, betting that Jing Kingdom would remain standing as long as possible, and that Yu Kingdom needed Jing Kingdom as an ally. Even if Jing Ning lived a lonely life in Yu Kingdom until old age, she would still have the prestigious title of Empress Dowager of Yu Kingdom.
At this time, Empress Dowager Cheng sent Jingyi to interfere, and she was in contact with the younger brother of the Crown Prince of Yu Kingdom. Even if the two brothers did not get along, they had to be on better terms than Jingning, who was the nominal Empress Dowager.
Jingyi is a legitimate princess and Jingyan's younger sister, making her more than a suitable match for the Ninth Prince.
Anyway, marriage relationships were very complicated in this era, so no one would mind if a father and son married two sisters.
The question is, will the Crown Prince of Yu choose Jing Yan, the rightful heir to the Jing Kingdom, or will he go to the trouble of interfering in the politics of another country for the sake of an Empress Dowager who has not even shown him any kindness in raising him?
It's possible that Empress Dowager Cheng wanted Empress Dowager Zheng to send away one of her granddaughters, but she couldn't do anything for Jinglu.
After listening to Yue Jiang's analysis, Jing Yan closed his eyes and pondered deeply. Jing Yi was too unguarded, had an arrogant personality, and was stubborn.
Because Empress Dowager Cheng was an elder, if she wanted to take Jingyi out to play, her father and mother could not stop her. Moreover, her mother was busy with the affairs of the six palaces and neglected Jingyi's growth.
By the time Jingyi's problem was discovered and a solution was sought, it was too late, as Jingyi's trust in Yongshou Palace was deeply ingrained.
Over the years, Empress Dowager Cheng has used Jingyi to carry out all sorts of minor disturbances against the Longevity Palace, but it's hard to say what harm she has done to Jingyi.
If Empress Dowager Cheng has already used her methods on Jingyi's marriage, just as Empress Dowager Zheng used Jingning, Jingyan will definitely have to be cautious about this matter.
He opened his eyes, his dark pupils filled with vigilance.
"I will keep an eye on the distance between Jingyi and Yu Chuxuan, and I will also have Rongying remind Yu Chuxuan of the boundaries."
“Rong Ying!” Yue Jiang suddenly became curious. Considering Rong Ying’s various behaviors, she realized that it seemed that Rong Ying’s relationship with Jing Yan was not like that of a typical superior and subordinate.
I remember that on the first day Yu Chuxuan entered the realm, his old illness flared up again, and he was the first person to stay by his bedside, looking quite sad.
When Yue Jiang heard Rong Ying mention his mother, she assumed that his mother was unfortunate and had the same illness as Yu Chuxuan.
But now that I think about it, it's very likely that Rong Ying knew Yu Chuxuan!
"Your Highness, where in Jing Kingdom is Military Advisor Rong Ying from? Your Highness seems to trust him a lot. How can he speak in a way that even a prince from Yu Kingdom would listen to?"
"Is Jiang'er interested in Rong Ying?" Jing Yan turned to look at her.
Yue Jiang did not deny it, and responded directly: "People with stories always arouse curiosity. If Your Highness feels it is not appropriate to tell me, you do not have to. I know the taboo, and I will not ask next time."
In the quiet night, Yue Jiang's clear and crisp voice reached Jing Yan's ears, like a gentle and warm spring breeze, with a magical calming effect.
Jing Yan wanted to talk to her, largely because he wanted to be completely open and honest with her about everything.
Jing Yan found Yue Jiang's hand and took it, stroking the back of her hand casually for a long time before speaking.
"It's really hard to disclose because it concerns Rongying's safety."
"It's so serious, Your Highness, please don't say anymore. I don't want to listen, I'm going to sleep," Yue Jiang realized that the underlying cause was really serious, and quickly pulled the quilt to cover her ears, trying to give Jing Yan a way out.
Jing Yan watched Yue Jiang move swiftly, and seeing that she really didn't dare to listen anymore and had her eyes tightly closed, he couldn't help but pinch her nose and laugh out loud.
"You really won't listen?"
Yue Jiang's voice was muffled: "I don't want to hear it anymore."
When his wife refused to listen, Jing Yan became interested. He pulled back the blanket covering Yue Jiang's head and began to coax her.
"Why don't you trade your secrets to me? I'll tell you a secret, and you tell me one."
Yue Jiang paused slightly as she dodged, and slowly opened her eyes. In the pitch-black night, Yue Jiang could not see the expression in Jing Yan's eyes.
But she could sense that Jing Yan's breathing was very light, as if he was afraid of startling her.
Yue Jiang remained silent for a long time, a slight doubt creeping into her mind. It seemed as if Jing Yan was trying to uncover her secrets. Could it be that Shang Yu hadn't kept any secrets?
No, Shang Yu is still counting on me to handle Yu Chuxuan's affairs, so I won't break my promise.
Yue Jiangyinlu lamented, "But I have no secrets!"
"Really? My Jiang'er didn't hide any secrets from me at all?" Jing Yan's voice was filled with surprise.
His tone was gentle, without a trace of intimidating sarcasm, and even carried a hint of sincerity that made one feel guilty.
In the darkness, Yue Jiang's eyes were filled with a sense of desolation, but it wasn't because she truly felt sorrow and guilt towards Jing Yansheng.
Rather, she knew she had a secret, and that she carried the weight of the entire Moon Kingdom on her shoulders, which was no small matter, and she could not easily reveal it.
Yue Jiang shook her head again: "Your Highness, I really don't have any."
After Yue Jiang finished answering, the person opposite her remained silent for a long time, so long that Yue Jiang thought Jing Yan had fallen asleep. She was about to turn over and go to sleep herself.
Suddenly, Jing Yan smiled and said, "Alright, you are my wife. Since you keep saying that you have no secrets, I would feel uneasy if I completely hid everything from you."
"In short, Rong Ying is a citizen of the Jade Kingdom and has many connections with the Jade Kingdom's royal family. He is willing to listen to what Yu Chuxuan has to say, and he can help Yu Chuxuan with this matter."
"I cannot speak of the rest, please do not be offended, Jiang'er."
"I've already told you I won't listen anymore," Yue Jiang said. She had been quite interested in Rong Ying's secret before, but now she had no intention of knowing anything about it.
It's not surprising that Rong Ying is from the Jade Kingdom, and since no country has ever said that one cannot serve as a subject of another country, it is quite astonishing that he has a connection with the Jade Kingdom's royal family.
But someone who could travel from the Jade Kingdom to the Jing Kingdom and gain Jing Yan's trust must be no ordinary person.
"I didn't care much to begin with, and I don't blame anything. All I want to do now is sleep."
Yue Jiang showed little interest and turned over to close her eyes and fall asleep.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she lay down, Jing Yan turned half of his body to cover her.
Even though it was already dark, the sense of oppression was still very clear, and Yue Jiang immediately understood what Jing Yan meant.
She raised her hand to block Jing Yan's kiss, saying, "Your Highness, I'm feeling tired this autumn, I can't keep going like this."
Before confirming a pregnancy, it's best to be careful, as it would be bad if something went wrong.
