He stood in front of Jiang Yi's courtyard gate, but the gate was closed. Jiang Yi only sent the people around him to look for He.
"The fourth lady asked this servant to tell Madam that belated affection is worth less than grass."
"What the fourth lady wants is the one and only him, and no one else. Madam, please go back now. You don't need to come here again in the future."
He stared at the place in a daze. The door was closed. She felt as if she had lost something very important in her heart.
She suddenly thought of Jiang Yi a few days ago. She was so well-behaved and looked at her with admiration.
But she lost Jiang Yi.
She lost her daughter.
The first time, it was because of her incompetence that Aunt Cui and Marquis Anyuan replaced her daughter.
This time, she abandoned her own daughter unintentionally.
She lost her twice and couldn't find her anymore.
He cried bitterly, but in the end she still wanted to wait a little longer, maybe her daughter would see her.
Then she will make up for everything she has.
About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yi came out of the room.
He was overjoyed and rushed over.
"Sister Yi."
There was pleading in her eyes, thinking that it would be nice if Jiang Yi was willing to say a word to her.
However, Jiang Yi simply ignored her, walked past her, and went to see Prince Gong.
"I thought you wouldn't see me." Prince Gong looked at her with a complicated expression. He originally thought that Jiang Yi was playing hard to get and retreating to advance. Even if she used him to target Jiang Yuanying, she would never really break off the engagement. But he never thought that she actually broke off the engagement.
When he met Prince Gong again, Jiang Yi was very calm.
"I said before that I would not separate Third Sister and the Prince, and now I have done it. Although my original intention was not because of the Prince, I hope that the Prince and Third Sister can be together forever."
From beginning to end, there was not a single moment of heart-beating.
This made Prince Gong unhappy.
After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he turned around and tried to leave, but Prince Gong grabbed his wrist.
"Wait a minute, you didn't even discuss this with me?" He was suddenly broken off from engagement, and it was by Jiang Yi, whom he had once looked down upon. This made him a little angry. "Or do you think I'm your king, and I can take you if you want, and not if you don't want me."
Jiang Yi suddenly smiled and said, "No, this marriage was not what I wanted from the beginning. It was granted by the Emperor."
"Besides, doesn't the prince like this marriage very much? Don't you also want to cancel it? After all, the prince will be the emperor in the future. How can your queen be an ignorant person from the countryside?"
"Didn't Prince Gong ever plan to let me come forward?"
"I'm just helping all of you."
"As for Your Highness, if you really don't want to, then you can go find the Emperor. He is your biological brother, and I believe he will be able to fulfill Your Highness's wish."
"I'm leaving."
Prince Gong was in a daze for a long time. He had figured out his thoughts thoroughly. He had indeed thought about it that way.
Jiang Yi gave him the impression that he could see through him.
It only further confirmed his guess.
I'm afraid that Jiang Yi had ulterior motives when he approached him from the very beginning, and used him as a pawn and a cover.
He didn't mind being used as a pawn or a cover by her, after all, it was profitable for him.
But he couldn't accept her indifferent attitude. She would take it when she needed it, and kick it away when she didn't.
How could he, the dignified Prince Gong, be humiliated like this?
She doesn't want to be the Princess of Gong, right? Fine then, just be a concubine in his house.
Always inferior to Jiang Yuanying.
Prince Gong thought this would be an easy matter. After all, Jiang Yi's cancellation of the engagement was not only a slap in the face of Prince Gong, but also a slap in the face of the royal family.
There is no way his royal brother wouldn't care.
When he arrived, it was already late in the evening, and Eunuch Liu said that the emperor had already gone to bed.
At this time, I went to bed a little early.
Prince Gong felt strange, but he did not dare to disturb the emperor for such a small matter.
I can only take my leave now and come back to discuss this matter tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Yu Shu suddenly came forward at this time.
Yu Shu was once the closest eunuch to the emperor. Prince Gong also knew that the emperor valued Yu Shu very much. He treated Yu Shu very well and did not treat Yu Shu as a eunuch at all.
Yu Shu bowed and said to Prince Gong, "Your Highness will be marrying a concubine soon. I would like to congratulate Your Highness in advance."
When talking about this matter, the smile on Prince Gong's face faded a little.
"This is really a matter that cannot be any smaller."
"That's not necessarily true." Yu Shu said in an enigmatic manner, "On the surface, I'm congratulating the prince for marrying his concubine, but in reality, I'm congratulating the prince for escaping a disaster."
"What does this mean?" Prince Gong was even more confused.
So he said, "Your Highness knows that the Emperor has been visiting Lingyin Temple every summer these past few years. Does Your Highness know where the fourth young lady of the Jiang family is from?"
Prince Gong was puzzled.
"Looking at your Highness's expression, I think he probably doesn't know either. But if you think about it slowly, you will eventually figure it out."
Yu Shu said no more and then left.
Where was Jiang Yi from? Prince Gong vaguely remembered that Jiang Ci had mentioned this when they first met.
It is said that she was from Pu County, and Lingyin Temple seemed to be built in Pu County.
Combined with Yu Shu's words just now, "On the surface, I am congratulating Your Highness for marrying a concubine, but in fact, I am congratulating Your Highness for escaping a disaster", Prince Gong felt as if he had been enlightened for a moment.
Why would his usually cold brother suddenly give Jiang Yi so many rewards? Even with the Grand Princess in the past, those rewards were completely unnecessary.
After all, as the eldest son of the Grand Princess, Marquis Anyuan did not receive any preferential treatment because of this identity.
He also understood why the emperor gave in to Jiang Yi and asked him to have breakfast with him. What the emperor really wanted was Jiang Yi's company, and he was just there by the way.
Even the reason why the Queen Mother's men always appeared at the right time to take him away was probably due to the planning of his good brother, the Emperor.
Even though such an outstanding man, one in a million, stood in front of Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi was completely unmoved. This was simply because he already had someone in his heart.
He used to think that if he stood here, even if Jiang Yi had someone else in her heart, she would be tempted by his power and status.
But what if this person is Xie Yuan?
Is it his good brother?
He suddenly felt very angry and resentful. He felt like a fool, being fooled around by his good brother, the emperor.
Xie Yuan trampled on his dignity.
Just as this dissatisfaction arose, the moment Prince Gong turned around, he saw the emperor's deep and cold eyes, which were full of strong pressure and made him feel breathless.
