Chapter 166 This will definitely prevent her from getting pregnant
"Very good." Seeing that he didn't seem to know anything, Qi Siwei breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way back to change clothes, the two of them chatted intermittently: "I believe the matter of my father-in-law will have a result in five or six days. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable. I am afraid that exile is inevitable."
"Exiled to the North?"
Seeing Jiang Jie nod, Qi Siwei swayed.
Jiang Jie: "It's not easy to save your mother and brother. Your Qi family was involved in the treason. The fact that you are still alive is a favor from the emperor. We just need to wait for the final decision of the three courts."
Qi Siwei calmed down.
Jiang Jie is right, exile is better than beheading.
She knew in her heart that her father must have done many shady things during the years he had been with Prince Chen.
The reason he was able to save his life this time was, on the one hand, due to Jiang Jie's maneuvering, and on the other hand, because the emperor had to fulfill his decision on the Lucheng incident. If he now accused his father of participating in treason, it would mean that the emperor's previous decision was wrong.
But it is unlikely that the emperor will let my father off easily.
If you are exiled to the north, you can only leave it to fate.
She had to wait a little longer, until her father was exiled, and then let her mother and brother leave the capital together. Presumably by then, the matter of Prince Chen would have been settled.
She then revealed everything to Jiang Jie, and he could kill her or kill her to vent his anger.
"Madam, we have been married for more than a month. I am very busy with my work and rarely come home. Do you feel lonely?"
"Your Excellency is in a high position and should focus on public affairs. I will support you."
Her resistance and alienation made Jiang Jie feel inexplicably irritated. He was not an indecisive person. To him, she was nothing more than an enemy and a chess piece. As for the rest, she was nothing more than an enemy and a chess piece.
But seeing how sick and lifeless she looked, why was she so unhappy?
"This Minister's Mansion is too lonely, why don't we have a baby?"
"Not good" Qi Siwei raised her eyes suddenly, blurted out the word "not good", realized that she had said the wrong thing, and explained: "I mean, the master is busy with official business now, why not wait a little longer."
Jiang Jie's eyes turned cold: "Do you want to wait, or do you not want to have a baby?"
Qi Siwei had not slept the whole night and had taken a cold shower. She was extremely nervous at the moment. She felt dizzy and upset. She fell down before she could open her mouth.
Jiang Jie supported the man and felt a little relieved.
The doctor checked her pulse and said, "Sir, the lady has excessive heart fire, palpitations, worry, and liver qi stagnation. This is a symptom of excessive worry. Although it is not too serious, it may endanger her life if it continues for a long time."
"Life-threatening?"
"A person lives for only a short time. If this vitality is lost, the body will be weak and the vitality will gradually fade away." The doctor also knew about the Qi family's situation: "The Qi family is in its current situation, and it is inevitable that Madam is sad. People always have to have some hope in life. If they have children in the future, maybe they can rekindle hope."
Jiang Jie: “…”
**
In the study, Jiang Jie was feeling anxious.
"Sir, we are returning to the capital for revenge, but why do you want to save all your family members?"
Jiang Jie slowly closed his eyes but said nothing.
When he returned to the capital, he made a solemn oath that both the Qi family and King Chen would have to pay the price for what happened that year.
And so he did.
Now, Prince Chen's plan has failed at every step, and he is also responsible for this. He secretly makes friends with him and collects information for him, but he has no idea whether the information is true or false.
"Whether Qi Yuanchang can survive depends on his luck."
"Master Qi has been pampered for many years. The journey to the north is extremely difficult. The weather is getting colder and colder. I don't think he can make it."
"Whether he can endure it or not is one thing, but the main thing is that the emperor may not give him a chance to endure it."
After saying that, Jiang Jie got up and went to the lounge at the back. He had been working without sleep for several days and felt a little tired.
But in addition to physical fatigue, my mood was also really bad.
Logically, he should be happy about the fate of the Qi family. He should even feel that it is not enough. After all, when he returned to Beijing, he was determined to bury the entire Qi family with him.
But what he was doing seemed to be going off track little by little, and sometimes he even didn't want to go on.
After lying down for a while, Jiang Jie stood up, walked to the desk, and took out a wooden box from the box.
Every time he went to see Qi Siwei, he would eat one pill, which could prevent her from getting pregnant.
Looking at the pills in the box, Jiang Jie showed hesitation. After a moment, he threw the box into the basket containing miscellaneous items.

In the battle of Jiangnan, the Jiangnan defenders won a great victory. At this moment, Prince Chen realized that the reason why he made mistakes step by step was that He An had already figured out his backup plan clearly.
On the surface, it seemed that he was restricted in every way, but in fact, Chen Cang was secretly attacked and caught him off guard.
He originally wanted to escape to Suzhou to recuperate, but when he was fighting He'an, the newly appointed prefect of the court took office and put the people he had arranged earlier into prison.
King Chen was blocked outside the city gate and was not allowed to enter.
Behind them, He An and Ji Lingchuan led the Jiangnan garrison to pursue and intercept them.
In this battle, Prince Chen suffered heavy losses, with less than 5,000 of his 20,000 private troops left. However, He'an's Jiangnan garrison, plus troops dispatched from various places, still had nearly 20,000 troops.
Such a huge gap caused the army to lose morale, and there was no chance of winning if the battle continued.
King Chen's men began to get agitated: "How can we fight this war? It's clearly a suicide mission."
"Yes, I have a wife and children at home, and I don't want to die yet."
"I won't fight anymore. I surrender."
The people who spoke at the beginning were all killed by the henchmen of King Chen before the soldiers: "We will kill until the last moment. Anyone who dares to stir up the army will end up like this."
This man's actions did scare the soldiers for a moment, but soon more voices became restless.
Some soldiers even began to charge at the deputy general and surrounded the murderer.
Just when the scene was in chaos, someone shot a spear into the deputy general's chest and abdomen, and the surroundings finally quieted down.
But the silence lasted only for a moment, and then the soldiers threw away their swords and guns, knelt with their hands raised high in the middle of the two armies to show their willingness to surrender.
King Chen looked ashen, tightly gripping the silver spear in his hand. The long battle had left him physically exhausted, but the reluctance in his heart had not faded at all.
Why? Why can he only be a mediocre prince?
The Crown Prince is too soft-hearted and indecisive, but he is decisive and good at strategy. Why can't his father see the good in him?
Just because the prince is born to the queen, he is destined to be superior to him?
“Haha…hahahaha…” Prince Chen laughed loudly, his laughter was sad and full of resentment. He was defeated today, but it was impossible for him to return to the capital to stand trial like this.
The silver spear in his hand fell to the ground, and he turned to grasp the dagger that fell from his sleeve. Since his father would not give him a fair chance to compete, he would die to prove his integrity.
Just when the tip of the knife was about to pierce his neck, he was suddenly knocked to the ground by a dart. Ruan Qingzhou, who was rushing over, controlled King Chen in the first time.
He'an: "Your Highness, the Emperor is waiting for you to return."
