Five carriages were driving neatly on the path leading into the palace. There were seven or eight people following each carriage, protecting its safety at all times.
The journey was smooth.
Song Jiao sat lazily in the carriage, occasionally lifting the curtain to take a look. As soon as she entered the palace, she felt a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
This is what is called Chinese horror.
"Taozi, how many people died in this palace? Do you think they would get up at night, walk through each palace, and keep asking for my bedroom back, saying things like headless palace maids and eunuchs who died from torture?"
Just thinking about it is very exciting.
Taozi's face turned pale with fear. She reached out and tugged at Song Jiao's clothes, her voice trembling, "Princess, could you please stop saying such weird things? It's really scary."
There were already many people who died in the palace. All dynasties had lived in this place, and countless people had died in this palace.
It's clearly a ghost story.
"What are you afraid of? It's not you who killed him anyway. Even if he crawls out of the coffin, he won't look for you." Song Jiao looked at Taozi with a wicked smile. For some reason, she felt happy to see Taozi scared.
If he gets scared, won’t he jump up?
"Host, I always feel that you are a bad person. You are deliberately scaring this little girl, right?" Tuanzi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, even if a ghost really jumped out.
The host can also be beaten back into the coffin with two big shots, and may even need to be remade.
"No! I'm just stating the facts." Song Jiao refused to admit it.
This is just a bad taste. Imagine this weak girl suddenly hiding in your arms because of fear, and then asking for comfort and a hug.
Isn’t it wonderful?
The carriage quickly stopped and the curtain was lifted, revealing the original owner's wet nurse. She said softly, "Miss, the main hall is ahead. Get off now."
This is the girl she raised since she was a child. She hasn't seen her for a few years, but she didn't expect the scene to be like this now.
That Prince Rong was really a complete bastard who actually bullied her young lady like that.
Song Jiao had already learned the identity of this nanny through the system, and whispered in a low voice, "I understand, nanny."
The people on the carriage began to get off one by one.
Jiang Ningyao was dragged down, her hands were tied up, and her mouth was blocked. Only at this moment did she realize that it was no wonder that woman also liked to kidnap people. Isn't this what their family likes to do?
Being pushed to the front, she deliberately walked in front of Song Jiao.
The other party acted as if he didn't see her and walked straight to the front.
She wanted to speak, but could only make a humming sound.
Song Jiao naturally saw Jiang Ningyao, but she just didn't want to talk. Now she was a little cutie who needed to be protected. If she wanted to confront him, wouldn't she have to go to the main hall and play the victim?
Imperial Palace Hall
Just as Qin's father reached the door, Yuchi Gong also came out. When he saw him, he walked straight towards him with a kind smile, "Brother Qin, why didn't you tell me you were coming to the capital? You came here so quietly that I had no preparations."
"Brother Yuchi, I have no choice but to come here today. My daughter is not living well in the palace. Not only is she bullied by her husband, but also by the woman my father brought. Not only was the shop forced to be handed over to that woman, but even the Qin family heirloom was secretly taken away and given away." Qin's father cupped his hands and sighed repeatedly.
Jiang Ningyao saw Qin's father walking in front without any greeting, and even treating the emperor as a brother. She immediately felt that something was wrong.
I had only heard that the Qin family had a high status before, but I didn't expect it to be so high.
Yuchi Gong was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Is there such a thing?"
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have made this trip. Now the person has been brought here, and the ruby earrings have been found in the woman's boudoir. They have been brought here! Brother Yuchi, you have to take charge of the Qin family today!" Qin's father winked at the wet nurse behind him.
The nurse pushed Jiang Ningyao hard and walked towards her. "Hurry up, why are you dawdling? When you bullied my young lady before, why didn't you think that this day would come?"
As soon as Jiang Ningyao saw Yuchi Gong, she immediately knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.
"This is Censor Jiang's second daughter, Jiang Ningyao!" Qin's father snorted coldly, "This woman has no sense of shame. She's not even married yet, yet she's cuddling with Prince Rong. She even asked Prince Rong to give her my daughter's dowry shop."
Yuchi Gong had heard of Jiang Ningyao's name a long time ago, and had also heard a lot about her from the concubines in the harem. In general, she was related to all his sons.
She was just the daughter of a mere imperial censor, yet she could actually move around among various princes.
If you don't have the ability, you naturally can't do it.
"Brother Qin, let's go in and talk."
Father Qin responded and led everyone into the hall.
Yuchi Gong returned to the throne, glanced down at Jiang Ningyao, who had been brought in and forced to kneel on the ground, then raised his eyes to look at Song Jiao, "Mingyue, why didn't you tell me before that you were being treated so unfairly? Your father and I are as close as brothers. If I had known that you were being treated so unfairly, I would have killed that rebellious son!"
Song Jiao took a step forward, bowed, and then slowly said, "Father, it's not that Mingyue doesn't want to talk about this, but I just feel ashamed to do so."
"My father promised Mingyue to Prince Rong. Mingyue has always fulfilled her duties as a princess consort, but Prince Rong's heart is not with her. Mingyue once said that if the prince likes her, she will take Miss Jiang as a concubine, but Miss Jiang said she would never be a concubine."
"In order to please Miss Jiang, the prince first took some silver. Mingyue didn't care. After all, the Qin family had no shortage of silver. But later they started to escalate, from silver to precious dowry, and then to shops..."
At the end of her speech, Song Jiao's voice was almost choked with sobs, and she even couldn't continue speaking for a while.
Seeing this scene, Qin's father felt distressed. He immediately walked up to her, patted her shoulder, and signaled her not to be afraid, as he would be there for her.
The look he gave Jiang Ningyao was full of disdain and disgust.
At this time, the nanny also loosened the rope on Jiang Ningyao.
Jiang Ningyao quickly removed the clothes that were gag her mouth and immediately said, "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me. This was sent by Prince Rong himself."
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Prince Rong to prove whether this minister actually asked Prince Rong to deliver the gift."
"You didn't say it. You just kept telling Prince Rong that you were short of money and that you were short of this and that, but you didn't say it explicitly!" Song Jiao interrupted Jiang Ningyao directly.
Want to distance yourself from it? How is that possible?
"You clearly know that His Highness Rongwang is attracted to you, so you deliberately say these words! What are your intentions?"
