Chapter 367 What’s the rush?
"Does the emperor really want to restore the eldest prince's status as crown prince?" Jiang Jingyan also spoke very loudly. He had long disliked Zhan Yuyang, and he naturally could not miss such a good opportunity.
"Why did the emperor suddenly restore the eldest prince's status as crown prince?" The old lady asked with pretended curiosity. Since their granddaughter brought up this topic, they naturally followed her lead.
"Yun Xi, what's going on?" Jiang Jinghuai also asked. He was very supportive of the eldest prince.
Mu's expression changed, and she was shocked. If the emperor restored the eldest prince's status as crown prince, would Prince Yi still have a chance to move into the Eastern Palace? Wouldn't Chenyu also...
Thinking of this possibility, she looked at Jiang Chenyu with concern, and sure enough, her face turned a little pale.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but blame Jiang Yunxi in her heart.
On such a wonderful day as New Year's Eve, why would she say such things to disgust others?
"That's right. Maybe the emperor will announce this happy event at the imperial banquet tonight. It's inevitable that some people's hopes will be dashed." Jiang Yunxi said meaningfully, with an expression as if he was watching a show.
"Whose hope is going to be dashed?" When Jiang Jingyan said this, he glanced at Zhan Yuyang and Jiang Chenyu. It seemed that Jiang Chenyu did have some skills.
She was a concubine, but she could get Zhan Yuyang to accompany her to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion several times.
"Some time ago, someone killed a mother and her two children and put the blame on the eldest prince so that the ghost would seek revenge on him. Fortunately, I discovered it, otherwise the other party would have succeeded. The eldest prince's body was soaked in evil spirits and he slowly died of exhaustion." Jiang Yunxi said slowly.
Jiang Jing'an's face turned pale with anger and he said, "Who is so vicious? Didn't the Crown Prince move out of the Eastern Palace some time ago? Yet they still want him dead."
At this moment, he was even more determined to stand on the side of the eldest prince, and he only hoped that the eldest prince could stand up on his own.
"I guess someone is afraid that the eldest prince will return to the East Palace, so they took action." Jiang Yun smiled. It can only be said that this person's worry is quite reasonable.
It's a pity that hope will eventually be dashed.
Zhan Beiyuan told her that at the imperial banquet tonight, Emperor Su Ming would announce the restoration of Zhan Yanzhi's status as the crown prince. The death aura in the Eastern Palace had disappeared and would not affect his health.
"Who is so vicious?" Jiang Jingyan asked deliberately.
"Second uncle, you are so stupid. The person who harmed the eldest prince must want to seize the position of crown prince." Mo Mo said seriously with his handsome little face.
"Yes, my brother and I thought of it." Mianmian said proudly.
Jiang Jingyan's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled and praised: "You are really smart, why didn't I think of it."
Jiang Yunxi looked at them, then looked at Zhan Yuyang: "Prince Yi, who do you think it could be?"
"How would I know..." Zhan Yuyang said with a dark face. He didn't even know about Zhan Yanzhi's murder, and he hadn't heard about it in the past few days.
"Why don't you guess who it is?" Jiang Yunxi continued to ask.
"I can't guess it, I'm sure my eldest brother will find out." Zhan Yuyang said coldly, feeling extremely unhappy. Thinking that his father would announce the restoration of the eldest prince's status tonight, he became even more unhappy.
Didn’t Mother say...
Suddenly, his expression froze. Could it be that his mother had harmed the eldest prince?
"That's right. If the Jiangzhou arson case fifty years ago could be investigated, the real culprit who harmed the eldest prince this time will naturally be found out." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
Everyone else was trying to hold back their laughter when they heard this, except for Mu and Jiang Chenyu, of course.
Zhan Yuyang was angry, but he couldn't show it, so he could only say, "I believe that my eldest brother will find out the truth. I have to go to the palace and leave first."
"Prince Yi, are you not going to have lunch before you leave?" Jiang Jing'an tried to persuade him politely. He didn't want him to stay for lunch at all, as it would affect his appetite.
"Let Chenyu stay here with you for dinner. I'm leaving first." Zhan Yuyang said and left directly. He really had to go to the palace to find his mother.
He didn't want his father to announce the restoration of Zhan Yanzhi's status as crown prince tonight.
Once he recovered, he had no chance.
Jiang Chenyu: “…”
Jiang Yunxi's lips curled up slightly. When she told him that Emperor Su Ming was going to announce the restoration of the eldest prince's status as the crown prince, Zhan Yuyang was no longer in the mood to let anything happen in the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
I guess he is preparing to go to the palace to discuss it with his mother.
A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, and she was eager for Concubine Li to take action.
"Yun Xi, will the emperor really make an announcement tonight?" Jiang Jing'an walked up to her and asked.
"Really." Jiang Yunxi said firmly.
Jiang Chenyu's heart tightened when she heard this, and her body swayed slightly. She had been working hard to prepare during this period and thought she would be able to move into the East Palace soon.
But before she even moved into the East Palace, her dream was shattered.
At four quarters past the hour of Si, Zhan Beiyuan arrived at the Duke of Yingguo's mansion. Everyone came forward to greet him. They only knew that Jiang Yunxi extended his life by signing a life and death contract with him.
From then on, the two of them lived and died together, so they were very grateful to him.
After they finished talking, Jiang Yunxi called Zhan Beiyuan to a corner and asked, "Where did you go so early in the morning?"
Zhan Beiyuan: "Let's go out for a walk."
Jiang Yunxi looked at him questioningly: "Are you going out for a walk so early?"
"Yeah." Zhan Beiyuan said. He didn't want to tell her that he went to the temple to pray for her. There were some things he didn't dare to show too obviously, for fear that she would alienate him.
Jiang Yunxi moved closer to him and sniffed him. "It smells like incense. Did you go to the temple so early in the morning?"
Zhan Beiyuan didn't expect that she could smell it, "Yeah, go to the temple to burn incense on New Year's Eve."
"Don't you believe this?" Jiang Yunxi looked at him with a questioning look.
"I didn't believe it before, but because you believe it now, I went to the temple today." Zhan Beiyuan found a good reason.
"Why didn't you take Mo Mo Mian Mian and me with you? You went alone quietly." Jiang Yunxi looked at him in confusion. Wouldn't it be better if they went together?
Zhan Beiyuan reacted very quickly and found an excuse, "I saw that you were sleeping so soundly, and Mo Mo was still asleep, so I thought I'd go burn the first incense earlier, so I went by myself. We can go together next time."
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi didn't ask any more questions.
At the lunch table.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, except Jiang Chenyu, who was unhappy and felt very uncomfortable. At this moment, she realized that she had become an outsider and was somewhat glad that she had gone to Prince Yi's Mansion.
Otherwise, it would only be more embarrassing for her to stay here.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Mu felt so distressed. She glanced at Jiang Yunxi who was not far away. She wanted to pick up some food for Jiang Chenyu, but finally had to give up. Her status in the Duke of England's Mansion was not as good as before.
I don’t dare to be particularly nice to her anymore.
…
Changle Palace.
"Mother, at the imperial banquet tonight, father will announce the restoration of the eldest prince's status as crown prince." Zhan Yuyang's face was full of anxiety, why did she look so calm?
She must have received the message too.
Concubine Li continued to place the blooming wintersweet in her hand into the vase, and said with a leisurely smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? Hasn't the announcement been made yet?"
