Jiang Qiao and Rong Sui looked at each other for a while.
Rong Sui didn't know what to say. What she said had blocked all his escape routes, and he didn't want her to hate him.
Jiang Qiao poured him a cup of tea and continued, "Rong Sui, do you really like me? Why do you want to marry me? We only met once at Manchunlou, is that enough for you to miss me? If that's the case, I don't think even if we are together, it won't last long."
Rong Sui didn't expect that she could make so many arguments to convince him.
But how could she say that she had only met him once in Manchunlou!
"Princess Changle, whether you believe it or not, I just like you."
"If you don't believe me, Your Highness, please go back!" Jiang Qiao said firmly.
Rong Sui punched the cotton and thought, forget it, he had already gotten what he wanted to know today. If he continued talking like this, he would only feel more and more annoyed.
"Jiang Qiao, see you another day."
Jiang Qiao looked at the man's back as he left, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.
When she was talking to Rong Sui just now, she started to feel dizzy and wanted to get angry, but she couldn't.
She is the eldest princess of Anhuai Kingdom. She cannot show any sign of weakness until Jiang Ji falls.
Outside the princess's mansion.
Li Dequan came to the princess's mansion today to ask for calming incense. As soon as he arrived at the door of the princess's mansion, he met the Prince of Ningyuan coming out with a cold face. He bowed slightly to him.
Rong Sui was stunned when he saw the person coming. He didn't say anything and quickly got into the carriage.
Li Dequan walked in with Xiao Fuzi behind him.
Jiang Qiao was just about to go back to bed when Yunyan told him that Eunuch Li from the palace had arrived, so he had to go back and sit down.
She could guess why Eunuch Li came this time. Calculating the time, she found that the calming incense had run out.
She made two kinds of calming incense. One was poisonous and made people dizzy, which Jiang Qiao gave to Jiang Ji. The other was really effective in calming the mind and helping with sleep, which Jiang Qiao gave to the empress dowager and herself.
"This old servant pays his respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Li Dequan knelt down and saluted.
Jiang Qiao clasped her fingers together, acting dignified. "Please stand up, eunuch. What brings you to this remote princess's mansion today?"
Li Dequan could hear the resentment in her heart. After all, in the past, no princess was driven out like this!
"Princess, you're joking. The Emperor misses you very much, so he sent me to see you today."
As he spoke, he asked Xiao Fuzi to present the things in his hand, which were some gold and silver jewelry and blood swallow nutritional supplements.
Jiang Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Jiang Ji was really stingy. The things he gave were not even half of what Rong Sui gave.
Li Dequan also noticed this because he saw that the table was already piled high. He guessed that it was sent by the Prince of Ningyuan Kingdom. How could the two of them be so familiar with each other?
Could it be that...
Li Dequan didn't dare to think too deeply and stated the main purpose of his visit today, "Do you still have the incense that the princess gave the emperor last time? It really has a calming effect."
Jiang Qiao said in a leisurely tone, "There's still some left from what I made with Master last time. If you want it, I'll ask Yunyan to get it."
"Then I'll trouble Miss Yunyan."
…
Li Dequan took the incense and left.
Jiang Qiao lowered his eyes, "Yuxing, bring the medicine!"
Gu Yun's medicine was somewhat effective, and her heart would calm down after drinking it.
"Take some time to send something to Dr. Xiaoyao. His medicine is very effective."
"yes."
——
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Li Dequan lit the calming incense, and Jiang Ji's headache was finally relieved a little.
Li Dequan told Jiang Ji about his encounter with the Prince of Ningyuan at the Princess's Mansion today.
Jiang Ji's tone was already somewhat hostile, "What are they meeting for?"
"I don't know, but I saw that the prince didn't seem very happy to leave the princess's mansion."
Jiang Ji didn't say anything else. He didn't want Chi Qian'an to marry Changle. The Chi family still had some use for him and couldn't be touched.
In that case, why not...
Jiang Ji looked thoughtful, then sighed after a moment: "The Crown Prince of Ningyuan Kingdom likes Changle, so I can't disappoint Ningyuan Kingdom. The Crown Prince and the Princess are a perfect match."
Li Dequan didn't know that General Jinghong had already come to ask for this marriage. If he knew, he would definitely not say anything about it tonight.
…
Xiao Fuzi ran in, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li is here with the Second Prince."
Jiang Ji felt better, "Let them in!"
The emperor had promoted Li Guiren's rank a long time ago. Now she has the second prince, the queen has fallen, the eldest prince is mentally ill, and the eldest princess has left the palace. She is very prosperous in the palace.
"Your Majesty, Jincheng has been crying a lot recently. He feels aggrieved because he thinks you didn't come to see him." Lipin said with a smile.
At Jiang Ji's age, he likes children more. He took the baby in the cradle and held him in his arms, his expression full of gentleness.
"Chuckle, chuckle~"
The baby in the cradle laughed at the right time.
Jiang Ji was even happier.
"Jincheng is my only prince. He will inherit the great responsibility in the future. I think he is smart."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on Concubine Li's face froze, but she soon smiled again and pretended to have forgotten the existence of the eldest prince.
"Your Majesty, why are you saying this? Jincheng is still young, how can he understand what a big responsibility is."
Jiang Ji was only forty years old, and although Concubine Li was ambitious, she did not dare to really agree to his words.
…
Rong Sui lived in Changqiu Palace.
But tonight we welcome an unwelcome person.
"Why did my royal brother go to the princess's residence today? Could it be that he really has a crush on that woman?"
Rong Zhengxuan indeed came uninvited.
Rong Sui has returned to Ningyuan as Crown Prince. He knows that during the twenty years he missed out on learning, he's been left with many things that were not as good as his two younger brothers. This is why he's been studying constantly since returning to Ningyuan, and his father loves him dearly. Rong Sui is a very intelligent man who only wants to hold onto power and crush all those who have humiliated him.
He has already achieved this. All those who had oppressed him in Manchunlou are now gone.
Rong Sui knew that when he and Rong Zhengxuan left Ningyuan Kingdom this time, he would definitely do something because his father had clearly stated that he was the true heir.
"Second brother is tracking very well."
Rong Zhengxuan treated this place like his own home and wandered around casually. "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I really didn't expect that since your return, you have been so diligent and hardworking, and you haven't made any mistakes. This time when you came to Anhuai Country, your taste in choosing women is really poor. It's no wonder that you only care about appearance, as if you have been to... "
Rong Sui opened her eyelashes and looked him in the eye. "Second brother, you are really outspoken. Tell me, is it me who can't go back to Ningyuan Kingdom this time, or is it you who can't go back?"
Full of threats.
Rong Zhengxuan was also a little surprised and was speechless for a long time.
Rong Sui did not lie to him. This time he just wanted to fight for himself. Rong Zhengxuan must die. Leaving Ningyuan Kingdom this time was a good opportunity.
He will find an opportunity to kill Rong Zhengxuan.
Since my father has found him, he must have made up his mind. Even if he guessed that he killed Rong Zhengxuan, he would not say anything.
My father will only regret it if Ningyuan Kingdom falls into the hands of a ruthless person like Rong Zhengxuan.
The conversation between the two ended in a bad mood.
