Chapter 255: Reinforcements
Eunuch Fushun tilted his ear and listened carefully to the movements in the hall. He faintly heard Emperor Sheng shouting a few times. Just as he was feeling his emotions racing, he suddenly saw a group of people walking towards him without any warning at the end of the palace road.
He hurriedly focused his attention to look, and when he saw clearly the two figures surrounded by palace servants in the middle, he couldn't help but shudder all over.
Yes...it's the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Grandson!
No, you shouldn't have come!
Eunuch Fushun clenched his hands quietly in his wide sleeves, his heart in his throat.
Today, Prince Rui is doomed, and Prince Xiang lost his qualifications long ago, so His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson is now the only candidate.
He knew that His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson was very close to Lord Jiang. If he came here to plead for Lord Jiang, it would only add fuel to the fire and cause another dispute with the Emperor.
His Majesty is very angry right now. If he is not careful, His Royal Highness the Grandson might repeat the mistakes of Prince Rui!
In this way, all the hard work of Lord Jiang, Imperial Preceptor, and all the ministers present today will be wasted!
If Eunuch Fushun were to examine himself, he would certainly be loyal to His Majesty.
But after following the emperor for decades, he also listened respectfully to the teachings of many imperial teachers and was influenced by many teachings of sages.
The emperor has become more and more paranoid and arbitrary over the years. Some things are indeed...
He did not dare to criticize the emperor, but he also hoped that the new emperor of Dasheng would not follow the emperor's old path.
Not to mention the common people in this world, even for a crippled eunuch like him, life in the palace would be much easier if the monarch was enlightened and benevolent.
So today, His Royal Highness the Grandson shouldn't have come...
Thinking of this, Fushun sighed secretly, but had to report loudly to the people in the hall.
In the distance, Shen Jiasui and others also saw the figures of the Crown Princess and the Emperor's grandson.
Both Shen Zhengsheng and Zhang Xian frowned at this moment, but Shen Jiasui's eyes flashed with a different light.
She knew that A Xun had no intention of letting His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor participate in today's fight.
First, he truly loves His Highness.
Secondly, once today's plan is completed, His Royal Highness the Grandson should not argue or conflict with His Majesty.
Axun has put so much effort into the Emperor's grandson, but from her own perspective as Axun's wife, she has different considerations.
A few days ago, she met the eldest princess again, but not in the palace, but in the eldest princess's mansion.
Cousin Ji and Ning'er's wedding is approaching, and the Princess's Mansion is bound to be busy. Ning'er has some things to ask her as she is getting married.
It was on that day that she revealed to the Princess and Ning'er all the careful planning she had been doing over the past few days.
The eldest princess is gifted with intelligence, courage, and knowledge, far beyond the reach of ordinary women.
After hearing the whole story, even without her telling her what she was planning, the princess held her hand and said softly:
"Jia Sui, I understand your thoughts. This matter... should indeed be made known to the Crown Princess."
"Never underestimate a woman's ability, and never underestimate a mother's determination. Although men are the masters of the court, women have their own ambitions and can find new ways and achieve great things."
"Although I have been separated from my brother for many years, after spending these few months together, I have a rough idea of his temperament."
"The day of the incident must have been filled with dangers and tensions. With my brother's conceited and competitive nature, he would not give up until his hands were stained with blood to demonstrate his majesty."
"At this moment, we need someone to mediate and persuade them with reason, and perhaps we can turn the crisis into safety."
"The Crown Princess... was Ji'er's favorite woman when he was alive. She is also Ye'er's mother. She must be well aware of all the past events. From this point of view, she is the best choice."
"Whether it's for Ye'er or for Lord Jiang, I believe that the Crown Princess will not hesitate at all."
Therefore, the reinforcements at this moment were invited by Shen Jiasui.
However, the person she invited was not His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor, but the Crown Princess.
This young woman lost her harmonious husband in the dangerous palace and she also had a young child.
She had been sad, confused, and desperate, but she had managed to stand firm in the midst of conspiracy and intrigue time and time again, and then grew the strongest armor.
After the Crown Princess learned of all this, she asked the Princess to bring her these words:
"Madam Jiang, I never thought that Lord Jiang would go to such lengths to keep his promise. I admire Madam Jiang and General Shen for their courage to take such risks."
"Yer is so lucky to have all of you helping me. I am truly grateful."
"Yer is my own flesh and blood. I should do my best to secure a bright future for him, more than anyone else in this world."
"He lost his father when he was young, and I will never let him leave his mentor again. If Lord Jiang is in trouble this time, I will not be able to see His Highness even if I go to the underworld."
"Don't worry, Madam Jiang. I know what to do."
......
She kept this matter a secret from Axun.
She thought that if the Crown Princess and the Imperial Grandson suddenly appeared, Axun would be unable to conceal his shock. Such a true expression of emotion would be one of his best life-saving talismans.
After all, isn't what His Majesty is most worried about now, that A Xun has some plans against His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson?
Seeing the Crown Princess and Zhao Yuanye coming towards them, Shen Jiasui and others immediately saluted.
The Crown Princess's gaze moved over and looked deeply at Shen Jiasui, her eyes full of gentleness and determination, but she moved away without making a sound.
When the mother and son reached the door of the imperial study, they asked in unison for a meeting.
After a while, Emperor Sheng's voice came from the imperial study: "Come in."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Fushun hurriedly opened the door for the Crown Princess and Zhao Yuanye.
The sun was already setting, and as the door of the imperial study slowly opened, the golden sunset poured in, falling squarely on Jiang Xun's feet, spreading a circle of warm red.
Emperor Sheng raised his eyes from behind the desk and saw the faces of the Crown Princess and Zhao Yuanye blurred by light and shadow. They walked into the hall against the light and knelt down to salute.
He knew that the Crown Princess and Zhao Yuanye came here to plead for Jiang Xun, so his brows were filled with displeasure and impatience.
Unexpectedly, when Zhao Yuanye raised his head, he had a look of confusion on his face. However, due to the rules in front of the emperor, he did not dare to ask why Jiang Xun was here.
Emperor Sheng noticed Zhao Yuanye's expression and was startled. The next moment, he saw the Crown Princess pull out a letter from her sleeve and said respectfully:
"Father, when I was sorting out your old things today, I happened to see a letter written by your Highness in an ancient book. It seems that it was specially left for you."
"I dare not take the initiative to do this, so I present this to Your Majesty for your review."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Sheng sat up straight, and his voice was slightly trembling: "The letter left by Ji'er?"
The Crown Princess nodded and gently pushed Zhao Yuanye beside her.
Zhao Yuanye was also smart. He took the letter immediately, walked quickly to Emperor Sheng's side, handed it over with both hands, raised his head and smiled:
"Look, Grandfather Emperor, it says 'Personally from my father' on it. This letter was discovered by Ye'er!"
Emperor Sheng lowered his eyes, swept across Zhao Yuanye's still childish eyebrows, and then fell on his high raised little hand.
On the envelope, there are four words that are written in an elegant and graceful manner. There is no doubt that they are Ji'er's handwriting.
When Emperor Sheng suddenly saw such familiar handwriting, his heart seemed to be touched by a sharp object and his whole body shook violently.
The next moment, I don’t know what he thought of, the hand that he had stretched out impatiently suddenly retracted.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuanye tilted his head in confusion and called out softly, "Grandpa Emperor?"
Emperor Sheng's mind suddenly focused and he reached out to grab the letter.
