Chapter 425 Madam has a cruel heart
"What's wrong with me?"
Jiang Hao almost couldn't help but argue with Song Wan'er again.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to say nice things. When dealing with others, he can say anything nice.
But in front of Song Wan'er, she could reveal his true colors with just one sentence, and he couldn't pretend anymore.
For this reason, Butler Liu specifically instructed him, "General, when you go to the Rui Palace to see the Madam, remember to say something nice. If you really can't say it, then it's better not to say it. Don't argue with the Madam. It's also good to sit there and accompany her."
Jiang Hao did as he was told.
He thought he looked normal and his eyes were gentle, but Song Wan'er asked him as soon as she opened her mouth: Why are you so weird today?
Jiang Hao showed a rare bit of gentleness, which was all in vain.
But at this moment, Song Wan'er was still looking at him warily, "Everything is weird."
"I think you don't know how to appreciate kindness."
Jiang Hao stood up and was about to go out.
"You're the one biting Lu Dongbin!" Song Wan'er said, "I'm afraid you've been poisoned by King Rui and your mind is in chaos, so you don't even know it."
Jiang Hao stopped in front of Song Wan'er and leaned over to look at her, "Then I have to thank you for your concern, Madam?"
He came so close all of a sudden that Song Wan'er looked at Jiang Hao's face which suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes. She was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Hao had been waiting for Song Wan'er to spit at him, but she didn't say anything for a long time. Instead, Song Wan'er pulled him down and asked him to sit down.
"You're the only one who's tall, aren't you? You have to bend down to talk, and you can't talk while sitting down?"
Song Wan'er spoke very quickly.
Jiang Hao didn't want to be a nuisance to her and was about to leave, but now he sat next to her again.
The two of them looked at each other in silence for a while.
Jiang Hao seemed to understand something and asked Song Wan'er, "Do you want to know the news outside?"
"Nonsense." Song Wan'er said, "I'm locked up here every day, with no one to talk to. How can I know the news outside? You came here and left without telling me anything. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Jiang Hao didn't answer but asked, "What can you do if you know the news outside?"
Song Wan'er couldn't help but choke when she heard this. She really couldn't do anything, but that didn't stop her from wanting to know what was happening outside.
Song Wan'er said: "It's nothing. I just want to know, are you going to tell me or not?"
Jiang Hao lowered his voice and said, "Then come closer and listen."
Song Wan'er immediately moved closer to Jiang Hao like a thief.
The two were so close that the guards outside saw the couple engaging in an intimate act.
Jiang Hao whispered that Prince Chang'an led an army of 100,000 to attack the capital and had already captured several cities.
"Prince Chang'an is indeed the Prince of Chang'an!" Song Wan'er couldn't help but give Huo Zheng a thumbs-up, and immediately asked, "Anything else?"
"To know what happens next, wait for the next chapter."
Jiang Hao spoke in the tone of a storyteller, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
Hearing this, Song Wan'er couldn't help but punch Jiang Hao, "Why don't you learn the good things, but only learn the bad things!"
Song Wan'er's favorite things were listening to books, watching plays and reading storybooks. Every time she listened to the storyteller reach the most exciting part, she would hear the sentence "If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next chapter". At that time, she would pay money until the other party continued to tell the story.
Money is always beneficial.
But Song Wan'er could hit the storyteller, but she couldn't hit the Pingxi General in front of her.
Jiang Hao was beaten so hard that he pretended to fall backwards, pretending to be injured...
"Why are you pretending?" Song Wan'er was shocked. "How could I possibly beat you like this with my limited strength?"
"Ahem..." Jiang Hao faked a cough twice, "I was injured at the Xishan Hunting Ground earlier, and it hasn't healed yet."
"You were injured, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Song Wan'er became serious and wanted to feel Jiang Hao's pulse.
Jiang Hao held her hand back, "Why are you touching me?"
Song Wan'er said angrily and amusedly, "I'm not touching you, I'm taking your pulse."
"You want to help me heal my wounds?"
Jiang Hao couldn't help but ask this question.
"I want to poison you."
Seeing him like this, Song Wan'er knew that his so-called injuries were a lie. She hated that she almost fell for him again.
Song Wan'er pushed Jiang Hao away, turned her head to look out the window, and ignored him.
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Madam, you have a very cruel heart."
Song Wan'er covered her ears and refused to listen to him.
What Madam!
An enemy is almost the same!
Jiang Hao said to Song Wan'er, "It's not that I won't tell you about the aftermath, but I also don't know what will happen next."
"Next time..." he said, "When I come back next time, I will tell you about the aftermath."
Song Wan'er covered her ears and pretended not to hear it even though she heard it.
Jiang Hao raised his hand and opened the box beside him, then turned around and walked away slowly.
Song Wan'er waited until the footsteps faded away before going to see what was in the box.
It's a storybook.
A whole box of storybooks, all of which are the most popular in Beijing recently.
Song Wan'er was extremely bored in Prince Rui's mansion. She missed her brother, sister and princess, and even dreamed about her storybook.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hao sent it to her.
Song Wan'er was holding a whole box of storybooks, and her whole person became lively.
At this time, Jiang Hao, who had walked to the other end of the yard, stopped and looked at Song Wan'er through the window, his slightly cold lips slightly curled up.
…
Prince Chang'an led an army of 100,000 and marched straight towards the capital. From Xizhou to the east, they took cities one after another. Prince Rui's party was so busy that they issued 18 manifestos in three days to throw dirty water on Huo Zheng, saying that Huo Yan and Huo Zheng had joined forces to rebel, and falsely accused Prince Rui of regicide and seizing the throne.
At the same time, the capital issued an order to mobilize the troops of Dongzhou, Nanzhou and Beizhou to jointly suppress the rebels in Xizhou.
However, Dongzhou and Nanzhou were slow to obey the transfer order, and the generals of King Rui's party were no match for Huo Zheng and the generals of Xizhou. They suffered repeated defeats and were unable to stop Huo Zheng from leading the Xizhou army into the capital.
Moreover, the manifestos written by Huo Zheng's staff were easy to understand, but the insults were extremely harsh, and one of them was worth a hundred in the capital.
Huo Yang was so angry that he took Liu Tanhua out of the prison and forced Liu Yan to write a letter to attack Huo Zheng at knifepoint.
Liu Tanhua remained unmoved, and Huo Yang was so angry that he wanted to kill him to make an example of him.
Jiang Hao, who had always been lazy and not doing his job, came into the palace and said, "Liu Tanhua is a well-known upright minister. Someone like Wang Taishi, who was full of selfish desires, could be killed. After all, the charges against him were not wrongful. But Liu Tanhua is different. He publicly refused to marry the princess and was almost beheaded by the emperor for opposing the marriage between the two countries, but he still didn't give in... If such a person died at this time, wouldn't it prove that the prince is not innocent?"
Other members of the King Rui's party also followed suit to persuade Huo Yang that Liu Tanhua should not be killed.
Huo Yang then spared Liu Yan's life and had him sent back to prison to be severely punished.
As soon as Liu Tanhua was sent back to the prison, the twelfth princess Huo Qinghan received the news sent by Jiang Hao, and went to the palace to have a big quarrel with Huo Yang. In the end, it was the Concubine Shu who came out to mediate between the brother and sister and spared Liu Yan from the severe punishment.
Soon after, news came that Huo Zheng had captured twenty-seven cities in a row. Huo Yang was furious and immediately decided to lead the army himself!
