Chapter 643: Lord Jiang is also very worried

When Jiang Yun heard the palace maid in front of him say this, he was very grateful. He hurried forward to hold her hand and asked again: "Sister, do you know what it is?"

After saying this, she seemed to be afraid that the maid would not tell her, and even took off the hairpin on her head and stuffed it into the maid's hand.

The young palace maid was trying to explain the situation: "Miss Jiang, you think too highly of me. I am just a handyman, how would I know these things? But I don't think it's a big deal. Miss Jiang, just wait patiently."

Although she knew that this matter was not simple, she was unwilling to let Jiang Yun suffer alone.

Just like when her house was ransacked, she stood alone in the yard, watching her father being taken away and her mother committing suicide.

"Why don't you just get back to work? What are you doing standing there?"

Before the little maid could finish her words, an old maid next to her scolded her.

The young palace maid did not dare to stay any longer. She nodded to Jiang Yun in front of her and left quickly.

Jiang Yun probably knew that serving in the palace was not a very good job, and that what this little maid had experienced must not be simple, so he turned around and bowed to her as a way of expressing his gratitude, without saying anything more.

It was already dark today, but she still hadn't seen her mother and father.

Instead, the eunuch from Yu's study came in person and asked Miss Jiang to return home first.

Jiang Yun felt uneasy, but she dared not disobey the emperor's order.

She just followed the little eunuch nervously with her head down all the way, walking towards the palace gate. It was dark at night and she was really a little scared, but fortunately she had her maid by her side to accompany her.

As soon as she got on the carriage, she held the maid's hand tightly and said, "Tell me, has something happened?"

"Father and mother haven't come back for so long, Your Majesty..."

She even wondered if His Majesty had heard about what she had just said to the Sixth Princess, and was angry that she was trying to curry favor with the Sixth Princess, which was why she had implicated her father and mother.

Jiang Yun returned to the Chiang Mansion with trepidation.

After being called away by His Majesty at the palace banquet, Lord Jiang thought he was going to meet His Majesty in Yu's study. However, he did not expect that the eunuch beside His Majesty kept him in a side hall. He stood there for an hour without seeing His Majesty.

He didn't know what His Majesty was thinking about, and he didn't know whether His Majesty was happy or angry, so he was really worried.

The eunuch who had just called him away from the palace said that the emperor wanted to see him for something, but he did not say what it was.

He originally thought that it was a business-related matter that His Majesty wanted to inquire about, but he did not expect that he had been there for an hour and had not yet seen His Majesty. It was obvious that His Majesty was intentionally leaving him here.

Either Your Majesty was delayed due to some other important matters, or Your Majesty was troubled by something.

But it's getting late now. If His Majesty is really delayed by something, he will definitely send someone to inform me.

But now, Your Majesty does not have it, so, it is the second situation, that Your Majesty is vexed by yourself because of some other things.

He began to think carefully about his official duties since coming to Beijing. He thought that although his work was not outstanding, it was fairly standard.

It's not that His Majesty is angry. Could it be that His Majesty is just because of his own moderation...

Sir Jiang is actually a man of great talent, but he has just arrived in the capital, and he cannot figure out the situation there, so he does not dare to show his talents too early.

Therefore, during this period of time, he had only been handling the Ministry of Industry's affairs in a conventional manner.

It is neither worthy of any praise nor worthy of punishment from Your Majesty.

Then, Your Majesty...

Just as Lord Jiang was daydreaming, the door of the side hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Lord Jiang looked up suddenly and saw that the person who came in was Meng Quande, who served beside His Majesty.

"Eunuch Meng," Lord Jiang has always been a cautious person, so he is naturally very respectful to the people around His Majesty. He hurried forward and was very polite to Meng Quande in front of him.

After calling her this, he didn't say another word.

Just waiting for Meng Quande to give orders.

Meng Quande did not hesitate and respectfully bowed to Lord Jiang in front of him: "Lord Jiang, His Majesty invites you."

Lord Jiang nodded quickly without saying anything, and followed Meng Quande's footsteps out.

By the time he arrived at Your Majesty's study, the Crown Prince had already left, leaving only Your Majesty.

After bringing Lord Jiang before His Majesty, Meng Quande quickly bowed and turned away.

Only Lord Jiang and the Great Chu Emperor were left in this huge study room. It was very empty, which made Lord Jiang even more frightened.

He knelt down immediately: "Your Majesty."

"You get up first." Lord Jiang did not expect that His Majesty would be so kind to him. He knew that His Majesty was not a good-tempered person and thought he would be furious.

"I summoned you here today because I have something to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Upon hearing His Majesty's polite words, Lord Jiang did not dare to say anything more. He just lowered his head respectfully and listened to His Majesty's instructions.

The Emperor of Great Chu stretched out his hand and pointed to a small porcelain bottle on his desk.

"This thing was found on your wife by someone close to me."

As for the fact that Yong'an discovered her, the Emperor of Great Chu never mentioned it again.

None of this is important. What is important is that this thing was found on Mrs. Jiang's body, so this is solid evidence of her guilt.

Moreover, since what happened today was what Wanwan wanted to do, even if she framed Madam Jiang, the Emperor of Great Chu would definitely punish her.

Lord Jiang looked up at the small porcelain bottle, but did not dare to say anything more. He lowered his head and said, "It is my wife who does not know etiquette and brought some things that are not in accordance with the rules into the palace. I hope Your Majesty will punish me. I am willing to take the blame on my behalf."

"You don't have to be nervous."

The Emperor of Great Chu had naturally heard about the discord between Lord Jiang and his wife a long time ago.

To be honest, although the Great Chu Kingdom has always been very sensitive about favoring concubines and killing wives, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than an official's internal affairs. As long as it is not too excessive, the Great Chu Emperor will not interfere too much.

The Emperor of Great Chu knew Lord Jiang. He was a capable man. Although he had been restraining his edge since coming to Beijing, the Emperor of Great Chu still recognized him.

Therefore, he would not ask about the affairs in his backyard.

But since today's matter involves his wife, I can't help but say a few words.

"I heard that Lord Jiang and Madam Jiang..." The Great Chu Emperor paused for a moment, "Not harmonious?"

After hearing what Da Chu said, Lord Jiang felt a little confused for a moment.

From what His Majesty said just now, he thought that his wife had done something wrong and His Majesty wanted to punish her, but why did he suddenly talk about his relationship with his wife?

Could it be that Your Majesty is going to punish me for the things that happened in my own inner chamber?
