Jiang Yuanying's face cracked for a moment, but she quickly said, "Those were just angry words."
"Seventh brother, she really took mother away from me. From now on, mother will never love me again. Are you going to ignore me too?"
"She planned everything. She had clearly been colluding with the Emperor for a long time, but she deliberately let the Emperor grant her a marriage with Prince Gong. Then she watched me go crazy here, watched my mother and I fall apart because of her, and she acted like a victim."
"But she's the one who ultimately benefits."
"She is the one who started it all."
"I even feel that she came to the Marquis' Mansion with a purpose."
Jiang Yuanci couldn't help but think of the day when he first met Jiang Yi. She also looked weak and fragile, and her deliberate display of weakness made him feel guilty.
Those seemingly tolerant words tore at his heart, causing him, even though he had been biased from the beginning, to be nicer to her.
Just as my third sister said.
"And she must hate us, hate me, hate you, and hate mother even more."
"If she really becomes the queen, none of us will have an easy life."
"We can't let her really marry the emperor."
"Seventh brother, she will eventually come back to get married, and then you can kidnap her..."
Jiang Yuanci suddenly became distracted.
"Seventh brother, did you hear what I said?" Jiang Yuanying called him.
"Yeah, I heard it." Jiang Yuanci said lightly.
Jiang Yuanying asked again: "Then will you do it?"
"Let's talk about it later." Jiang Yuanci said.
His ambiguous words naturally could not make Jiang Yuanying feel at ease, so Jiang Yuanying secretly went to find Prince Gong.
Prince Gong, who was lying on the sickbed, was in a depressed mood and looked a little thinner.
Jiang Yuanying was also shocked.
"Brother Zhen." Prince Gong looked up with an indifferent expression when he suddenly heard Jiang Yuanying's voice.
"What are you doing here?" He looked annoyed.
Jiang Yuanying said sadly: "Brother Zhen, why do you talk to me like this? We were so good before, and you..."
"I'm ill now and don't have time to listen to your nonsense." Prince Gong interrupted her directly, "And you also said that was in the past, that we had an engagement before, and now you have ruined my engagement with Jiang Yi."
"What attitude do you think this king should have towards someone who ruined his engagement?"
Jiang Yuanying was stunned and asked, "Do you really want to marry her that badly? I thought you were unwilling to do so, just like me."
"It's totally useless to say these things now. Just tell me whether you have any business to attend to. If not, then just leave." Prince Gong said without any mercy.
Jiang Yuanying's heart ached for a moment, but she finally said, "The emperor is going to marry Jiang Yi as his queen. Did you know about this?"
Prince Gong's pupils shrank slightly, but in the next moment he spoke calmly, "So what?"
Previously, he wanted to use the Queen Mother to teach Jiang Yi a lesson, but the Emperor knew about it immediately. Now, even if he knew that the Emperor wanted to marry Jiang Yi, what could he do?
Unless he is tired of living.
Prince Gong's gaze suddenly shifted to Jiang Yuanying again, "Don't you want Jiang Yi to become the queen?"
"Don't you think? The woman who almost married you is going to become your sister-in-law."
"It would be fine if you didn't want this person yourself, but it was Jiang Yi who didn't want you first."
Jiang Yuanying said this subconsciously, and only after he finished speaking did he realize something was wrong.
"That's not what I meant. She certainly doesn't want you. Being able to marry Brother Zhen is the blessing she has earned in several lifetimes. It's just that she was deceived by me, so..."
"Forget it, I know." Prince Gong interrupted Jiang Yuanying.
"Even if I don't want to, I can't stop my brother. But my mother..." Prince Gong continued, "But my body is so bad that I'm afraid it may not be healed even if you come to the palace."
Jiang Yuanying immediately said, "Then I'll go find the Queen Mother."
Prince Gong continued, "Just don't tell me, or I'm afraid Queen Mother will think I can't let go of Jiang Yi, and might even take the initiative to facilitate this marriage."
Jiang Yuanying said quickly: "That's natural."
Jiang Yuanying hurried back from Prince Gong's Mansion, and the next day she went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.
Jiang Yuanying used to often go to the palace. At that time, the empress dowager regarded her as her future daughter-in-law. Later, when she learned the truth about Aunt Cui's child replacement, she felt regretful.
Prince Gong was the apple of her eye, and the Empress Dowager was reluctant to let a concubine's daughter marry him, even though she had watched this concubine's daughter grow up.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuanying only wants to be Prince Gong's concubine now, and for the purpose of bringing good luck to Prince Gong, the Queen Mother is very satisfied.
Seeing Jiang Yuanying coming, the Queen Mother was very happy as usual and asked Jiang Yuanying to sit next to her.
"Have you checked on Zhen'er? How is he? Is he feeling better?"
That day, Prince Gong was dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager for keeping him away from the Emperor, which resulted in no affection between the two brothers.
The Empress Dowager was also dissatisfied that Prince Gong did not understand her good intentions.
The mother and son parted on bad terms, but the Empress Dowager was naturally still very concerned about Prince Gong.
"Your Highness is in good health, but you still don't know that the Emperor wants to make my fourth sister the Queen. If he knew, I'm afraid..."
"She's just Jiang Yi. Could it be that Zhen'er really likes her?" The empress dowager had also heard about this. She never cared about the emperor's affairs.
The emperor wanted to establish a queen, but he chose an insignificant person. If she was really killed by the emperor, it would be her bad luck, so the empress dowager did not care too much.
