Chapter 424 Why are you acting weird?
Huo Yang was so angry at Jiang Hao that he laughed, "It's already this late, and you still have the mind to watch the fun?"
"What's wrong at this time? The prince is in charge of the capital, which is the orthodoxy. He can mobilize the forces of all parties to check and balance the Western Province. Now is the time to let the world see that the prince is more suitable to inherit the throne than the Prince of Chang'an!" Jiang Hao said: "What legitimate son? The Prince of Chang'an was just raised by the Queen. His biological mother is nothing compared to the Concubine Shu. The prince is the eldest, so it is rightful for him to inherit the throne."
Huo Yang had always thought this way, so when he heard Jiang Hao say this, he felt particularly pleased.
Even though Jiang Hao is not a loyal minister, he is indeed a man who knows the times.
Huo Yang did not have many generals available, so he should have made use of Jiang Hao and sent him to the front line to lead troops to fight against Huo Zheng. However, this man had changed camps at the last minute, and Huo Yang was really worried about him. So after thinking about it again and again, he finally gave up the idea.
Jiang Hao also knew that Huo Yang still had people he could use, and that he didn't trust him at all, so he wouldn't hand over the troops to him so quickly.
Jiang Hao was not in a hurry either, and told Prince Rui that he wanted to go to Prince Rui's Mansion to see his wife.
It all comes down to one thing.
He was going to see his wife.
Huo Yang couldn't understand how someone like Jiang Hao could be so sentimental. But if Jiang Hao didn't have this weakness, he wouldn't be able to make such a fierce person obey his orders.
Although Prince Rui didn't understand, he still waved his hand and asked Jiang Hao to go to Prince Rui's Mansion to see Song Wan'er.
"Thank you, Your Highness." After getting the permission, Jiang Hao had no intention of discussing business matters with Prince Rui, so he immediately bowed and took his leave.
Huo Yang saw that Jiang Hao came quickly and left not quickly, so he couldn't help but ask the eunuch beside him, "Do you think Jiang Hao's love for his wife is real or just an act?"
The eunuch beside him looked at Jiang Hao's receding figure and thought for a long time, "This servant is stupid... I really can't see it."
Huo Yang couldn't see it either, but he didn't think he was stupid. He just thought Jiang Hao was too good at deceiving people.
Since the emperor's death, Huo Yang quickly eliminated dissidents and took "those who obey me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish" as his motto. Those who recently defected to Prince Rui's camp were all thinking about doing something to make the new master look at them differently. Some of those who were stubborn and could not be killed directly were imprisoned on various charges.
Now the prisons all over the capital are overcrowded.
This Jiang Hao was different from those people. After hearing that his wife was detained in Prince Rui's Mansion, he chose to join Prince Rui's camp without much struggle, but he did nothing after joining.
He was too lazy to even come up with an idea of how to deal with the 100,000 troops in Xizhou, and he didn't even bother to give a perfunctory response. He only said a few nice words in order to see his wife. It really makes people wonder what this General Pingxi was thinking.
Jiang Hao didn't care what they thought. He went straight to Prince Rui's Mansion after leaving the palace.
This time he did not go to see Princess Rui. He just sent someone to pass the message and went to the place where Song Wan'er was under house arrest.
Song Wan'er looked better than the previous few days. She was getting angry at the guards guarding her in the side room. Now that the spoiled girl was no longer so sickly, she started to make trouble.
The guards probably took into consideration that she was the wife of the General Pingxi, so they did not dare to do anything to her. They had to do whatever they were told, even if they were ordered to go up to the roof to catch birds or dig up grass roots in the snow.
When Jiang Hao walked over, the guards at the gate of the palace breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him. "General Pingxi is here, and his wife is in the house."
Jiang Hao found it a little funny and said to the guards, "You all go about your business. I want to talk to my wife."
The guards quickly responded and retreated. They didn't retreat far, but they didn't stand in front of Song Wan'er to make her look annoying.
"I see you're doing pretty well in Prince Rui's Palace, and you're starting to bother the guards."
Jiang Hao walked in slowly, followed by two followers, one carrying two food boxes and the other holding a box. After placing the things in their hands on the table, they lowered their heads and walked out.
"How can he compare to the Great General of Pingxi?" Song Wan'er looked at Jiang Hao, who looked like he was back home. "You come whenever you want. You must be doing well with Prince Rui."
Jiang Hao smiled, raised his hand to open the food box, took out the delicacies inside one by one and placed them on the table.
Crab meat lion head, crystal braised pork, lotus fish bun...
These were all Song Wan'er's favorite foods. The aroma of the food filled her nose, and she suddenly felt a little hungry.
During the time she was in the Rui Palace, Princess Rui did not treat her harshly. However, Song Wan'er had been accustomed to a life of luxury since she was a child. Even when she married into the General's Mansion, she brought four chefs who were most familiar with her taste. The Rui Palace was not very attentive to a hostage after all.
What's more, Song Wan'er has no freedom here and has no appetite on weekdays. Her chin has become pointed after staying here for a short time.
Song Wan'er couldn't resist the delicious food Jiang Hao brought. Jiang Hao handed her a set of bowls and chopsticks, and Song Wan'er started eating right away.
Seeing that she was eating in a hurry, Jiang Hao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Eat slowly, no one is trying to snatch the food from you."
"It's true that no one is competing with me for it." Song Wan'er swallowed the meat in her mouth, "But I'm afraid you'll say something to anger me and make me lose my appetite."
When Jiang Hao heard this, the smile on his lips froze slightly.
He sat in front of Song Wan'er and didn't speak for a long time.
Song Wan'er ate a good meal, and only put down her bowl and chopsticks when she felt a little full. She wiped her lips with a handkerchief and asked Jiang Hao, "Strange, why are you so quiet today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
In the past, Jiang Hao always said something irritating when he saw her. The last time he came to Prince Rui's Mansion, Song Wan'er was actually in a rather complicated mood, but Jiang Hao made her so angry that she wanted to curse at him with just a few words. This time, he was very quiet.
Are you afraid of ruining her appetite?
still……
When Song Wan'er thought of this, her face suddenly became serious, "Did something happen to my brother?"
She couldn't think of anything else that would make Jiang Hao pity her and stop being angry with her.
"What are you guessing?" Jiang Hao said, "Your brother is fine, nothing happened to him. Prince Rui wants to use you to control your brother and get a lot of money, so why would he hurt his life?"
Besides, Song Anlan hasn't arrived in the capital yet, so it's too early for Song Wan'er to worry.
Song Wan'er whispered, "My brother is fine, then my sister..."
"Princess Chang'an is doing well in Xizhou, what could happen?"
Jiang Hao didn't know what was going on in Song Wan'er's little head. What did this have to do with anything?
Song Wan'er was relieved to hear that her brother and sister were fine. Then she set her eyes on Jiang Hao and asked in confusion, "Then why are you acting so strange?"
