Jiang Si was at a loss for words and said angrily, "Second brother, what are you thinking about? He didn't sleep with the concubine, and he didn't sleep with the maid. We are fine."
Jiang Zhan was even more puzzled and whispered, "You are not anxious about the prince being imprisoned in the clan residence. I thought the prince had done something wrong."
"There is no overnight hatred between father and son. Maybe the emperor will release him in a few days." Jiang Si said casually, and then said, "Second brother, let me see your hand."
Jiang Zhan subconsciously hid his hands behind his back and refused, "It's just a minor skin injury, nothing to see."
Jiang Si grabbed Jiang Zhan's sleeve and insisted, "Let me see."
After a moment of stalemate, Jiang Zhan had no choice but to compromise and honestly stretched out his injured hand.
The back of the hand, which was originally slender and beautiful, was now swollen, and the exposed flesh and blood had coagulated into dark purple, which looked quite scary.
Jiang Si's eyes narrowed, feeling both distressed and angry.
The prince is so vicious that he could step on the second brother's hand like this!
"Fourth sister, it's really okay. It doesn't hurt at all." Jiang Zhan pulled his hand back, but was held down by Jiang Si.
"You didn't even take care of yourself before leaving the palace." Jiang Si scolded as he took out a handkerchief, "I'll take care of your wound."
Jiang Zhan wanted to say no, but seeing Jiang Si's tense face, he said, "Let Ah Man or Ah Qiao take care of it for me. Fourth sister is not afraid of blood, but what if my nephew gets scared?"
Jiang Si couldn't help but laugh: "Second brother is really good at joking. What does the baby in the belly know?"
Despite saying this, she still asked Aqiao to come and treat Jiang Zhan's wounds.
Ah Qiao fetched some liquor and ointment, and gently wiped the wound with a clean cotton towel dipped in the liquor, her face turning slightly pale.
It must be so painful to be injured like this.
Jiang Zhan did not react at all, as if someone else was injured, and said to Jiang Si calmly: "Fourth sister, I want to find an opportunity to join the army."
"Join the army?" Jiang Si was stunned.
Jiang Zhan nodded: "Well, Nanlan and our Great Zhou have been fighting one after another. It is said that there are constant frictions on the northern border. The Northern Qi people often kill and rob the people of the Great Zhou. I think it's better to go to the southern border or the northern land than to stay in the capital."
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Jinwu Guards who guard the imperial city are very glorious, and he once thought so too.
But today, after being humiliated by the Crown Prince, I realized that all glory is relative. In front of the nobles in the palace, the tiny Jinwu Guards are no different from ants.
He is not alone, he also has the Dongping Marquis's Mansion and his fourth sister behind him. If he can't help but bump into the noble, it will undoubtedly bring big trouble to the people he cares about, like today...
But he is not the type to swallow his anger and accept everything. He may be able to endure it once, twice, but maybe he won't be able to endure it this time.
Rather than being a frustrated canary in the capital, it is better to be an eagle in the borderland. Even if you fall, at least you have fought for the people of the Great Zhou.
A man is willing to sacrifice his life for his country.
Hearing Jiang Zhan say this, Jiang Si's first reaction was to object.
Swords have no eyes. If you are not careful on the battlefield, you may lose your life. This is not interesting at all. It is clearly terrifying.
But when he met his brother's clear eyes, Jiang Si couldn't say any words of objection.
She cared about her brother and changed his fate of early death without his knowledge, but her second brother's life belonged to him, and she shouldn't make decisions for him even in the name of doing good for him.
"Fourth sister, do you think it's okay?" Jiang Zhan asked with some anticipation.
Ah Qiao was just using a cotton towel soaked in strong liquor to wipe the dirt hidden in his skin and flesh, and the pain made him frown slightly.
Jiang Si sighed in his heart and smiled gently: "It's fine if Second Brother has made up his mind."
Jiang Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Fourth sister's approval was undoubtedly very important to him.
Jiang Si added: "Just be sure to pay attention to safety and don't let those who care about my second brother worry."
Jiang Zhan smiled widely: "That's natural."
Jiang Zhan's excitement made Jiang Si crooked his eyes, but he put away his relaxed smile after he left.
Yu Qi was imprisoned in the clan house, and it was impossible to say that he was not worried at all. Of course, he was not too worried either.
This is probably the benefit of being a prophet.
The winter solstice is approaching, and the crown prince is about to be deposed for the first time. The consequences of offending the crown prince are not that serious.
Thinking about the reason why the prince was deposed, Jiang Si raised his eyebrows.
Perhaps the emperor still felt that A-Jian had vented his anger in advance?
The winter solstice of the nineteenth year of Jingming was too thrilling, and she hoped that Yu Jin could avoid it, so when Jiang Zhan came to deliver the message, she understood what the other party meant.
By beating the prince severely, he not only vented his anger for his second brother, but also avoided the winter solstice travel, achieving the best of two worlds.
"But you are too bold." Jiang Si murmured angrily and told Aqiao to prepare some delicious meals and send them to the clan house.
The news that Yu Jin had beaten the prince and was locked up in the clan house spread quickly like wildfire.
For a moment, the princes who had participated in the melee last year were in a rather awkward mood.
The Seventh Brother even dared to beat the Crown Prince. Thinking about it this way, the two beatings they received didn't seem to be a big deal.
Don’t miss this excitement!
Go visit the prince first and see how badly he has been beaten, then go check on the seventh brother.
In the East Palace, as the imperial physician was giving massage and applying medicine, the prince's screams were heard.
The prince groaned and cursed secretly: "Old Seven is a bastard! When he ascends to the throne, the first thing he will do is to charge Old Seven with treason and chop up his entire family!"
"Your Highness, Prince Lu is here to visit you." The eunuch came in and delivered the message.
The prince lay on the bed and said with a dark face, "No!"
The eunuch went out quickly and came back soon: "Your Highness, the King of Qi is here..."
The prince said angrily, "Don't send me messages anymore. I won't see you!"
How can a prince meet people with a pig-like face? These bastards are obviously here to laugh at him.
The princes were disappointed not to see the prince with a pig-headed face, and they hurried to the clan house one after another.
Prince Lu arrived first, stuffed some silver into the guarding clerk's pocket, and successfully met Yu Jian.
The empty room in the clan residence was like a prison, but it was much more comfortable and at least there were no insects or snakes.
Yu Jin sat by the window and turned his eyes slightly to look at Prince Lu.
"Seventh brother, did you really beat the prince?"
Yu Jian frowned.
Why did he see some excitement in Lao Wu's eyes?
"Yeah." He responded coldly.
King Lu quickly glanced around and quietly gave Yu Jin a thumbs up: "Seventh brother, you really are this."
He had wanted to beat the prince for a long time. It was almost a dream of his since childhood, but unfortunately he had never dared to realize it.
He decided that from now on he would not care about Lao Qi beating him.
Yu Jin raised the corner of his lips and reminded him lightly: "Fifth brother, please be careful with your words and actions, and don't come to keep me company."
King Lu chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that my seventh brother cared so much about me. I know that. The other brothers are still waiting in line. I'll leave first."
