Chapter 118: Telling Everything You Know
Jiang Xun woke up.
Nanfeng found a pillow and helped Jiang Xun sit up on the couch.
Xifeng was still nagging at this moment: "Sir, the effect of the medicine has not completely dissipated yet, please don't get up and walk around, don't let your emotions fluctuate too much, don't--"
He turned around and glanced at Shen Jiasui who was standing far away, and said without hesitation: "Don't let your feelings get in the way, otherwise——"
"Okay, okay, let's go."
When Nanfeng saw that Xifeng started to speak without restraint again, he hurriedly pulled him away, and deliberately chose the other side to avoid Shen Jiasui and left the inner room.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the two of them didn't even stay in the warm hall.
There was a sudden silence all around.
Shen Jiasui stood there for a while, and seeing that Jiang Xun still didn't speak, he looked towards the bed.
When she raised her eyes, she found that Jiang Xun was looking at her, but the expression on his face was... a little strange.
"Master Jiang, are you okay?"
Shen Jiasui couldn't hide his worry, so he took the initiative to ask.
When Jiang Xun heard Shen Jiasui's voice, his hands clenched under the quilt suddenly loosened, as if he was suddenly pulled back to reality from a dream.
Miss Shen's eyes were bright.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xun gradually felt relieved, but pity and heartache seemed to linger in his heart.
Previous life...
That was the previous life that Miss Shen mentioned.
Jiang Xun finally spoke, but he did not mention his dream. Instead, he said in a gentle voice:
"Nan Feng just mentioned that Miss Shen has already met the eldest princess. I think Miss Shen must have a lot of confusion in her heart at the moment, so I will tell her everything I know."
Shen Jiasui nodded when he heard this and sat down behind the low desk.
The two were far enough apart that they seemed to be becoming polite again.
Very strange.
You have to know that the two of them were already close enough in the secret passage just now. Although those words were said in a state of confusion and passion, they were all from the heart.
But Shen Jiasui did not mention it, and Jiang Xun did not expose it. I wonder what the two of them are considering at the moment.
"Master Jiang, Ning'er chose you and even mentioned you at the palace banquet on the day she returned to Beijing. Was all this arranged long ago?"
Shen Jiasui asked the first question.
Jiang Xun nodded and said gently, "Yes."
"The eldest princess's biological mother, Concubine Hui, is now living out her old age in the palace. The Concubine and the teacher are old acquaintances. The eldest princess's marriage was also a helpless move. During this process, the teacher helped the eldest princess a lot."
"So, when I learned that the eldest princess was going to bring Princess An Ning back to the capital and was going to choose a husband for the princess, I made this plan and asked Teacher Yang to write a letter to the eldest princess."
"The Princess and Princess An Ning are really loyal and agreed to my and my teacher's request."
After hearing this, Shen Jiasui immediately understood why Lord Jiang, who never joined in the fun, would appear in the Ju field and participate in the competition between her and Aya.
I think, even if she was not there at the time, Lord Jiang would have other reasons to go through the motions in front of Ning'er.
In this way, it seemed natural for Ning'er to choose Mr. Jiang at the dinner party.
"Master Jiang is doing this, presumably to use himself as bait to force the two princes to take action? But isn't Master Jiang worried that it will really disturb Ning'er's heart?"
Shen Jiasui looked serious, and when he asked this question, he didn't seem to have any emotion in his expression.
Jiang Xun suddenly raised his eyes, looked at Shen Jiasui cautiously, and then answered:
"The princess has made long-term plans for Princess An Ning. On her way back to the capital, she had already explained the portraits and personalities of the talented people in the capital to Princess An Ning in detail."
"The princess already has a favorite candidate in mind, and the eldest princess gave her the nod."
"Besides, I am boring and troubled, and the princess is very unhappy about it. It is because of the eldest princess that she agreed to this plan."
Shen Jiasui was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "The sudden appearance of Lord Bo and Madam today was also within Lord Jiang's expectations?"
"Um."
Speaking of the Anyang Earl and his wife, Jiang Xun's face was slightly shaken, and then he said frankly: "This time, I just want to see who will take action and what evidence they can get."
"If others want to deal with me, then my father and mother will bear the brunt."
"My original plan was to persuade them to stay in the mansion, and I arranged enough manpower so that as long as there was any movement, we could follow the clues to find out the cause. I think even if we can't get to the real master, we can still have a clear idea of what's going on."
"Can--"
Shen Jiasui took over the conversation, "But Master and Madam realized that you might be in trouble, and they wanted to help you even if it meant sacrificing their face and reputation in front of the whole city?"
"Um."
Jiang Xun nodded, his eyelashes drooped, and his thoughts surged.
"In this way, I can turn the tables on the enemy. I don't have to disobey the order. Instead, the princess can refuse the marriage, which is justified. In this way, I can avoid being punished."
These are exactly the same as Shen Jiasui's guess.
She took a deep breath and finally asked the most important question, "So, has Lord Jiang confirmed it? Who is it that led the wife of the Lord to the Imperial Garden?"
Jiang Xun nodded.
"It's Prince Xiang."
Shen Jiasui stood up suddenly after hearing these words, and his voice was trembling: "Confirmed? It's him? Is he the one behind this?"
Jiang Xun nodded, then shook his head, “Don’t worry, Miss Shen, things…are not that simple.”
Shen Jiasui suppressed his turbulent emotions after hearing this and slowly sat back down, "I'd like to hear the details."
Jiang Xun had already guessed that Shen Jiasui's persistence in finding the so-called "man behind the scenes" must be closely related to her previous life.
Therefore, at this moment, he spoke very solemnly:
“Miss Shen, do you still remember the flower viewing banquet at Prince Rong’s mansion?”
"At that time, it seemed that Prince Xiang and Prince Rui might be the ones behind the scenes. When I was carefully investigating, the Crown Princess found me and said with certainty that the person who took action was Prince Xiang."
Shen Jiasui raised her eyes suddenly when she heard this, and suddenly remembered that day when the Crown Princess told her to tell Lord Jiang exactly what she had seen and heard.
It seems that perhaps the Crown Princess had already made some kind of decision at that time.
"That's an old story."
"Back then, Prince Rui knew the Crown Princess's brother, so he got to know the Crown Princess."
"After meeting each other several times, Prince Rui couldn't help but fall in love with the Crown Princess, and even went so far as to ask His Majesty for permission to marry her."
"But by coincidence, the emperor had already chosen a princess for the crown prince, and this past event was buried. Very few people knew about it, and even Prince Xiang had never heard of it."
"According to the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness Prince Rui has not given up all these years. Especially after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed away, Prince Rui has appeared in front of her several times."
"Therefore, Prince Rui would not have set up this plan to put her to death."
When Shen Jiasui heard this, he suddenly raised his head.
Because she suddenly remembered the strange behavior of the Crown Princess in the stands during the day, and the faint red mark on her wrist.
Could it be that at that time, it was Prince Rui who...broke into the stands?
Shen Jiasui was in a state of confusion, but he thought that the Crown Princess was willing to tell Lord Jiang such a secret, which showed her trust and determination. So he told Lord Jiang his guess without hesitation.
Jiang Xun did not look surprised when he heard this, as if he had known it for a long time.
All I heard him say was, “Miss Shen, the one who broke into the stands today was indeed Prince Rui.”
Shen Jiasui's expression suddenly changed when she heard this. Jiang Xun looked at her intently and said seriously:
"If Prince Rui is truly deeply in love with the Crown Princess, then he should hide his feelings and not even watch from afar. Just act as a stranger."
"But he rashly barged into the stands and put the Crown Princess in danger. Is this true?"
"It's just a despicable possessive desire at work, mixed with a lot of calculations and ambitions."
"After all, Prince Rui knows very well that the flower viewing banquet was planned by Prince Xiang, so Prince Xiang is not as simple as he seems."
"But he still entered the account. Wasn't he deliberately exposing his 'weakness' to Prince Xiang and pushing the Crown Princess to the forefront, just to find an opportunity to overthrow Prince Xiang?"
When Shen Jiasui heard this, he felt a chill down his spine.
"In this case, the Crown Princess is in danger!"
Jiang Xun saw Shen Jiasui was so nervous, but shook his head and said softly:
"After the flower viewing banquet that day, the Crown Princess said something to me. She said -
Lord Jiang, don't underestimate a mother's determination to protect her child. From today on, I will take the initiative to act, plan carefully, and fight for a smooth road for my son. ”
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui was shocked.
Thinking about the Crown Princess again at this moment, I realized what kind of determination was hidden behind her gentle and sad face.
Prince Rui wanted to use the Crown Princess as bait, and Prince Xiang wanted to use her as a chess piece, but they didn't know that the Crown Princess was positioned in the game as a prey.
Just as she herself said, keep your weapon hidden and wait for the right time to act!
