This was not the first time Changning had done something like this. If it had happened in the past, Jianghe would never have resisted.
However, this time, just as Changning's slap had landed, Jiang He raised his hand and slapped her in the face without any hesitation!
Although Jiang He was a scholar, he was still a man after all. His strength was much greater than that of Princess Changning who was raised in seclusion. This slap actually knocked the man to the ground, and blood even seeped from the corner of his lips.
"You...you dare to hit me, you are crazy!"
Princess Changning lay on the ground, covering her face tightly.
"Yes! I'm crazy!" Jiang He's eyes were red, and he seemed to have given up on everything. He squatted down and grabbed Chang Ning's collar. "How could I marry a jealous woman like you!"
"Who doesn't have three wives and four concubines in a wealthy family? Even a princess can't forbid her husband from taking concubines. Why should I have to live with you alone?"
"You are already the mistress of the house. Yiyi's child should call you mother after all. Why can't you tolerate her? Can't you keep your own child? Can't you tolerate other people's children?"
Jiang He shouted until he was hoarse, but no one around him thought there was anything wrong with what he said.
All those pointing and criticizing eyes fell on Changning.
No matter how this matter is resolved today, Changning's reputation as a jealous person will be completely confirmed, unless... she helps Jiang He and marries Mo Yiyi.
However, she no longer had this opportunity.
Just as the two were arguing, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from the crowd, "Oh no! That girl hanged herself!"
Hearing the voice, Jiang He turned around in surprise, but the stool under Mo Yiyi's feet had been kicked over long ago. Her feet were kicking around helplessly, her face was pale, and there was a strange smile in her eyes when she looked at Princess Changning.
This was the scene Lin Chunhuan saw when he followed the emperor.
Suddenly, he panicked and ordered his subordinates, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry and put him down!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, people immediately surrounded it, but no one knew what was mixed in the hemp rope, and the guards tried several methods to cut it but failed.
As for the knot, most people have never even seen it, let alone untied it.
Moreover, Mo Yiyi herself was struggling desperately, and no one else could put her down.
By the time someone who could untie the knot was found, Mo Yiyi was already dead!
"Your Majesty!" Lin Chunhuan pretended to be afraid and hugged the emperor's arm tightly.
The emperor stared at Prince Jin with his extremely cold eyes, "If I hadn't accompanied the virtuous concubine to visit relatives today, I really wouldn't have been able to see this wonderful show at Prince Jin's mansion!"
Prince Jin's face was extremely grim, and he quickly stepped forward to pay his respects. "Your Majesty, I will handle this matter as quickly as possible, and will not affect the reputation of the royal family in any way!"
Prince Jin obviously also understood how detrimental it was to the dignity of the royal family to have a living person hanged at the gate of the palace.
For a moment, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He couldn't understand why he had been so unlucky recently. Things that had been going smoothly before were now unable to move forward because of the child in the virtuous concubine's belly.
Now the palace is involved in a murder case, and the emperor just happened to catch it!
"That's easy to say."
The emperor snorted coldly and ordered Chief Fang to disperse the people.
Only then was he appointed as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and entered the Prince of Jin's Palace.
In the main hall.
The emperor sat in the main seat with a gloomy face. Lin Chunhuan stood beside him with an ugly expression, as if he was frightened.
As for the rest, they all knelt on the ground in front of him.
Even Mo Yiyi's body was carried in.
"You're really becoming more and more successful by aborting a woman's womb, Changning."
Wen Yunxiao's tone was very heavy, but no emotion could be heard from it. However, Princess Changning didn't seem to notice. Her eyes were still full of anger towards Jiang He. She was still kneeling on the ground, pointing at Jiang He, "Your Majesty, this is not Changning's fault, it's all his fault!"
"He couldn't keep himself under control and was having affairs with other women outside!"
"Changning!"
Before Jiang He could argue, Prince Jin had already shouted in a low voice, with a strong warning tone, "It is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. This time you really went too far. Why don't you quickly admit your mistake to His Majesty!"
Hearing this roar, Princess Changning trembled all over.
Although his eyes were still filled with anger, he still withdrew his hand.
This scene surprised Lin Chunhuan a little. She originally thought that Jiang He could have a successful career after Prince Jin became the crown prince because he was the husband of Princess Changning.
But now it seems that is not the case.
It seems that Prince Jin cares more about Jiang He than the princess herself.
At least, he didn't want to disappoint Jiang He because of the princess.
Seeing the emperor frowning at the noise, Lin Chunhuan stepped forward and gently massaged his temples. "Your Majesty, it has already happened. It doesn't make much sense to argue about who is right or wrong now."
"The most important thing is to think about how to deal with this girl's affairs after her death and how to appease the people."
As he spoke, Lin Chunhuan's brows were filled with worry. "There are quite a few people watching outside today. If this matter isn't handled properly, it will be bad for His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and the Princess and the Princess to be known for taking human lives lightly."
Wen Yunxiao nodded gently, "What the virtuous concubine said makes sense."
"County Horse." The emperor cast a cold gaze on Jiang He. Seeing the sweat on his forehead, he snorted coldly, "After all, it was you who caused this matter. So it's up to you to tell us how this matter should be resolved."
"yes."
Perhaps because he still felt resentful about Mo Yiyi's death, Jiang He did not show much fear.
Lin Chunhuan could even feel that Jiang He's gaze would linger on her from time to time.
Whenever she had this feeling, she would move closer to the emperor.
"Yiyi's father passed away early, leaving only an elderly mother at home. I will open my private treasury and take out some money to comfort Yiyi's family. I will then bury Yiyi with the ceremony of a concubine to comfort Yiyi's spirit in heaven."
Jiang He said in a calm tone.
Princess Changning suddenly became excited again, not even caring that the emperor was still in front of her. She stood up from the ground and said, "With the ceremony of a concubine? Jiang He, I think you are getting bolder and bolder!"
"Are you going to offend the entire Prince Jin's Mansion for a dead bitch?"
Seeing this scene, Jiang He just laughed disdainfully.
He didn't take the crazy Changning seriously at all. As for Prince Jin, even the veins on his forehead couldn't stop throbbing. "Changning! The emperor and the queen are here, how can you be so presumptuous!"
"Kneel down now!"
