Chapter 160 The Princess Is Out of Her Reach Yet She Insists on Matchmaking 22



Changle Palace.

Jiang Qiao lay on the bed, staring at the brocade bed curtains with lifeless eyes. She never thought she would lose tonight.

[Host, don't be sad, it's all this dog emperor's fault! ]

"I only now understand why the original owner was so arrogant and domineering in the palace. She never received the love of her father since she was a child, so she wanted to attract attention like this."

[Host, what are you going to do next? ]

"Given the time, Jiang Ji should have found out the reason for the Queen Mother's illness!"

Yu Xing pushed open the door and ran in, "Princess, the eldest prince is fine. He was rescued by Miss Qin Er from the Shangshu Mansion."

Jiang Qiao curled his lips slightly and said in a calm voice, "I didn't defend myself..."

Yuxing didn't understand, "What didn't get defended?"

"Nothing, Yuxing, go down!"

The banquet ended early. Too many things had happened tonight, and the ministers did not dare to stay any longer.

Chi Qian'an looked at the closed palace gate with emotion in his eyes.

Amu beside him reminded him, "No, my lord, the old general is still waiting in the mansion. He said he wants to wait for you to come home and have a drink with you. Let's go back quickly! It's getting dark."

Chi Qi'an has been granted a title and can no longer be called a general.

"Just call me General!"

"Yes, General!"

Tonight, Jiang Ji did not go to Kunning Palace, but stayed alone in Yangxin Palace.

What happened at today's banquet was a thorn in his heart after all. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was the imperial concubine who did what happened to the tea waiter tonight, but he just didn't want to believe it.

It was already Yin time. Jiang Ji threw the memorial aside and walked to the picture that Lou Zhuxin had sent him. The beauty had a graceful figure and looked innocent no matter how you looked at her.

There was a sudden noise on the beam. Jiang Ji was about to call for the guards when an envelope fell from between the tiles. Jiang Ji bent down to pick it up, and after seeing clearly what it was, he threw the envelope on the ground.

The envelope contained correspondence between Lou Zhuxin and the Prime Minister's Mansion. All of the correspondence was about things Lou Zhuxin had taken care of for the Prime Minister's Mansion. Jiang Ji remembered the handwriting clearly; it was Lou Zhuxin's.

At this moment, Li Dequan also walked in.

Jiang Ji asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the plot to murder the Queen Mother has been resolved."

"explain!"

Li Dequan knelt down and stammered, not daring to say a word.

"Yes... Concubine Zhu, the tuberose spices were sent from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Jiang Ji's palms trembled slightly, "Take me to find the maid named Fang Lan today!"

Chi Qi'an on the roof listened to what they said before flying away.

Kunning Palace.

Lou Zhuxin curled up in the quilt, her body still shaking. She couldn't sleep and had been awakened by nightmares several times.

She dreamed that Jiang Ji knew the truth and banished her to the cold palace.

Aunt Liu walked into the inner hall carrying a lantern, "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the sound, Lou Zhuxin threw herself into Aunt Liu's arms and burst into tears, "Aunt, you are all I have left. Please don't leave me."

Aunt Liu hugged her and said, "Your Highness was raised under my care. I will never betray you."

"But Fanglan will be a nuisance if she keeps him. What should I do, Madam?"

"Kill her!"

Lou Zhuxin nodded, "Yes, if we kill her, everything will be sealed, and the emperor will never know that he loves the wrong person!"

She recalled her childhood.

That year, she was just an unfavored concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion. At a palace banquet, she met the handsome Jiang Ji. The man was as gentle as jade, and all the girls from aristocratic families wanted to marry him.

Later, she also met Jiang Ji several times with her elder sister. At a flower-viewing banquet, she picked up a painting. The painting showed a woman with a veil. She was so fascinated by the painting that she didn't realize there was someone standing behind her.

"Did you draw this?"

The man's voice frightened her and the painting fell to the ground.

Lou Zhuxin recognized who the person was. It was Jiang Ji, the Jiang Ji that all the girls in Beijing wanted to marry.

Perhaps it was vanity that made Lou Zhuxin not deny it.

Jiang Ji picked up the painting on the ground and said, "You draw really well. Where are you from? I've never seen you before."

It was during this time that Lou Zhuxin met Jiang Ji, and she took the initiative to give him the painting.

The two met frequently afterwards, and their feelings for each other gradually deepened.

But once, Lou Zhuxin accepted Jiang Ji's invitation to visit the palace, and accidentally found a word "sleep" on the pear blossom painting. She was afraid of making a mistake, so she scratched the word out.

Everything she has comes from this painting, and she can't let the owner of this painting destroy herself.

Later, Lou Zhuxin kept asking around for girls in the capital whose names contained the character "Mian". She learned about Bai Mian, the daughter of the Marquis's family, who was a beautiful and intelligent woman.

Lou Zhuxin glanced at her secretly, and with just that one glance, she knew she couldn't compare to her.

Fortunately, Bai Mian and Jiang Ji have never had any contact.

She also successfully married Jiang Ji. Those days were her happiest time. Jiang Ji was still very good to her. Although he was a concubine, Lou Zhuxin was very satisfied.

Until she heard that Jiang Ji was going to marry Bai Mian as his wife, she was always afraid during those days.

In order to prevent Jiang Ji from knowing the truth, Lou Zhuxin has been obstructing Jiang Ji and Bai Mian.

But Jiang Yanchuan's presence was still too annoying, and the child was too smart. Lou Zhuxin knew that Bai Mian and his mother would destroy everything she had planned, so she asked someone to write a letter to slander Bai Mian!

Things went really smoothly, that silly woman Bai Mian didn't even resist!

She was imprisoned in Qiwu Palace forever, and the secret of the beauty painting would finally never be known by Jiang Ji.

But a mother is honored by her child, so the child cannot be kept. It's a pity that the child was lucky enough not to be killed in the fall, but it's okay for him to be stupid.

Lou Zhuxin finally had a few years of comfortable life.

Seeing that Lou Zhuxin had fallen asleep, Madam Liu covered her with a blanket and tiptoed out.

——

Jiang Ji came out of the prison, his mind was blank, and Fang Lan's words echoed in his mind.

He couldn't believe that the person who had been sleeping with him for so many years could be so vicious and do so many evil things.

It turns out that Bai Mian's incident was a false accusation, the eldest prince's stupidity was a murder, the long-term difficulties in Qiwu Palace were a special concession, and the Queen Mother...

Li Dequan followed behind Jiang Ji and didn't dare to speak.

"Li Dequan, I can't see clearly. Please accompany me to Qiwu Palace!"

"yes!"

Jiang Ji stood in front of the gate of Qiwu Palace all night, and only returned to Yangxin Palace to change clothes when it was almost dawn.

He drafted an imperial edict and asked Li Dequan to deliver it to Kunning Palace.

Jiang Qiao just woke up and received good news from Yu Xing.

"Princess, you don't know that Concubine Zhu has been banished to the cold palace, and your confinement has been lifted!"

Jiang Qiao sat up and asked, "Is Ah Yan feeling better?"

"His Highness hasn't woken up yet."

Jiang Qiao knew that it was Qin Pianyue who made Jiang Yanchuan become like this, and she failed to protect him.

"Let me wash up first, then I'll go see Ayan."

"yes."

Jiang Yanchuan was sent back to Yonghe Palace yesterday and is now lying on a rosewood bed with a pale face.

The poison Qin Pianyue took was too strong.

Jiang Yanchuan opened his eyes, and the childishness in them was gone, instead they were extremely clear...
