Princess Qi's seemingly casual words made Concubine Xian's eyebrows move, and her eyes suddenly froze.

The crown prince was deposed, and the opportunity that the fourth brother had been waiting for for many years finally came. Of course he had to take good care of the seventh brother, who was his brother from the same mother.

If the seventh brother's wife affects the relationship between the two brothers, then her opinion of the seventh brother's wife will change.

If she hates a person, she can ignore him and not be bothered by him, but if this person affects her fundamental interests, then she can no longer avoid him.

If the seventh brother's wife continues to behave like this and doesn't know how to restrain herself, she will have to consider replacing him with a sensible and obedient wife.

But it's still too early to make such plans now, at least... thinking of Jiang Si's still flat belly, Concubine Xian sneered.

At least wait until the seventh son’s wife gives birth to a child.

Princess Qi stared at the sneer on Princess Xian's lips, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

The Princess of Yan is really ignorant and fearless. What real benefit can she get from showing off her power through words? It's simply stupid.

Princess Qi was well aware of Concubine Xian's methods.

When she had just married the King of Qi, she thought her mother was a kind person. However, one time when the King of Qi came to the palace, a maid boldly flirted with her, and she never saw that maid again.

Princess Qi was of course pleased that Concubine Xian had dealt with the maid who had intended to seduce Prince Qi so cleanly and efficiently, but she also got a glimpse of Concubine Xian's cruelty hidden under the mask of virtuousness.

Concubine Xian had high hopes for King Qi, so she was very demanding and would not allow anyone to influence him or damage his reputation.

Princess Qi was content with provoking Concubine Xian's murderous plot against Jiang Si, and listened to Concubine Xian's instructions with a gentle expression.

Outside the palace, all you see is a blanket of silver.

A heavy snowfall last night gave the capital city a new coat. The roadsides were lined with luxuriant trees, splendidly beautiful under the winter sun.

The road paved with bluestone slabs is a bit muddy.

Aqiao supported Jiang Si and walked carefully towards the carriage parked by the palace wall.

"Please stay." A lukewarm voice came from behind.

Jiang Si paused slightly and looked back.

Princess Rongyang strode over, letting her long skirt brush the ground and get stained with mud.

There was no need to wash a new dress after wearing it, just throw it away. This was very common for the well-dressed Princess Rongyang.

Therefore, she walked with great momentum, which made Aqiao a little wary.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Ah Qiao stood in front of Jiang Si and bowed to Princess Rongyang, her tense back revealing a bit of tension.

Jiang seemed to notice Aqiao's nervousness, but he remained calm.

"What does Auntie want me to do?"

Princess Rongyang glanced at Ah Qiao and said calmly, "Step aside for now."

Aqiao glanced at Jiang Si and didn't move.

Princess Rongyang came with bad intentions. What if she hurts her master and unborn child?

"Princess Yan, your servant is truly loyal. Do you think I will harm you?"

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "Of course my aunt won't harm me. Ah Qiao, please leave now."

Aqiao hesitated for a moment and quietly stepped aside.

Princess Rongyang took a step forward and suddenly approached Jiang Si.

Jiang Si's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes, as clear as glass, looked at her quietly.

Princess Rongyang sneered: "She is a brave one, much more powerful than your mother."

Hearing Princess Rongyang mention her late mother, Jiang Si's eyes turned cold.

In front of her, Princess Rongyang still had the nerve to mention her mother. It was true that if a person had no shame, he would be able to do anything.

"My mother is not incompetent, but she is not thick-skinned enough." Looking into the eyes of Princess Rongyang, Jiang Si responded bluntly.

Princess Rongyang moved her hands and gritted her teeth and said, "Princess Yan, do you think that I can't do anything to you just because you are pregnant?"

"I don't think my aunt would push me in public, right?" Jiang Si asked with a smile, showing no fear at all.

Princess Rongyang sneered: "I am not that stupid. I have no business to lay hands on an unborn child."

The emperor has many sons and even more grandchildren. So what if the Princess of Yan gives birth to a grandson?

Now that Princess Yan is pregnant, there is no need for her to take action and displease the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Once Princess Yan gives birth to the child, there will be countless ways to deal with her.

Apart from anything else, it’s not like she couldn’t find the thing that caused the woman to die of hemorrhage…

Thinking of the man who was sent into the palace by her many years ago, Princess Rongyang smiled with relief.

Jiang Si sighed: "Aunt seems to be targeting me in particular, is it because of my mother?"

Princess Rongyang narrowed her eyes and looked at the face that was very similar to Su's. For a moment, she had the illusion that time had gone backwards.

Because of Su? Partly. She just couldn't get a favorable impression of this face.

But that’s not all. What she couldn’t bear was Mingyue’s disappearance.

"Let me ask you, was it you who caused Zhu Ziyu to ruin Mingyue's marriage?" Princess Rongyang asked in a low voice.

Jiang Si smiled when he heard this.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Si smiled: "I laugh at your aunt's question. If you randomly ask anyone if he has killed someone, even if he is the murderer, would he be stupid enough to admit it?"

Princess Rongyang paused.

She didn't expect Jiang Si to admit it, but she just said it to relieve her frustration.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Si suddenly lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Cui Mingyue reaped what she sowed. It shows that God has eyes and evil will be punished——"

Princess Rongyang did not expect Jiang Si to say such a thing. She was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him.

The wrist was firmly grasped in mid-air.

"Aunt, it's not nice to hit or kick me. I'm a princess, the daughter-in-law chosen by my father. Do you think I'm a servant in the princess's mansion and you can slap me whenever you want?"

After Jiang Si finished speaking, she let go of Princess Rongyang's wrist. She had already made up her mind: if Princess Rongyang made any reckless moves again, she would release the bug to bite people.

She has no shortage of instant paralyzing snake poison.

Princess Rongyang calmed down, realizing that she had been a little impulsive just now. She suppressed her anger and warned, "Princess Yan, just wait. There will be a day when I will settle accounts with you."

She said, then turned away.

Jiang Si called out from behind her: "Please wait."

Princess Rongyang turned around and looked at her coldly.

Jiang Si took a step forward and said softly, "I also have something to say to my aunt."

"You say."

Jiang Si's voice was even lower, but every word was clear to Princess Rongyang's ears.

"I'm going to take back what I just said. And please wait, there will be a day when I will settle accounts with you."

After Jiang Si finished speaking, he knelt down to Princess Rongyang, turned around and said to Aqiao, "Let's go."

When they got on the carriage, Ah Qiao was very anxious: "Master, you have offended the eldest princess. What if she does something bad behind your back?"

Jiang Si leaned against the car wall, holding a hand warmer to warm his hands. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Maybe she won't be able to wait until that day."
