Chapter 117 Favors Disappeared

"Empress Dowager..."

A maid looked over from the window and said reluctantly: "Li Gui... Li Guipin fainted." Empress

Dowager Wu stood in the window, her eyebrows knelt tightly: "Am I blind? Can't I see? You feel so sorry for her, how about kneeling with her in the rain?"

The maid knelt down hurriedly and said she didn't dare.

She really felt sorry for Li Guipin. Prime Minister Song had been sentenced to death by the emperor. Although Prime Minister Song escaped, he was also dismissed by the emperor. I heard that he is having a hard time in the Song family now.

The members of the Song family were also liquidated to varying degrees. The huge Song family was dispersed in an instant.

Li Guipin was originally a high-ranking imperial concubine, but now she has become a concubine that everyone in the harem can step on.

The Empress Dowager is deliberately rubbing her, and I am afraid that her body will be ruined.

In the rainy night, a shadow shrouded Li Guipin's head. Xia He looked up and saw Jiang Cainu holding an oil-paper umbrella, looking at Li Guipin who had fainted on the ground with no sadness or joy.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Li Guipin squinted her eyes in a daze, thinking that it was the Emperor who came to save her. She weakly raised her hand, trying to grab the dreamlike bubble.

"Your Highness, please see clearly that I am Jiang Cainu."

Jiang Yuan sneered, "At that time, I bowed and worked hard for you, and I would not stop until my death. But when I was framed by the empress and was sent to the cold palace to suffer, what were you doing? Didn't you even give me a glance? Didn't you care about my life or death at all?"

Li Guipin lay on the ground, holding the slippery ground with both hands, and tried to open her eyes wide: "Jiang Cainu? You come... what are you doing here?"

After seeing Jiang Yuan's cold face, Li Guipin's eyes burst with strong hatred: "Save you? If it weren't for you and that bitch Zhenpin, how could this palace end up like this. I only regret that I couldn't burn you two bitches to death in the cold palace, so that you villains wouldn't succeed today."

Think about how glorious she was when she punished Jiang Xinyue to kneel under the scorching sun in Yu Garden?

No one in the harem could compete with her.

It's only been a year, and the fate of people has changed drastically.

Zhenpin became the most beloved concubine in the emperor's heart, but she... was as miserable as a dog, and had to be ridiculed by Jiang Yuan here.

Jiang Cainu sneered again: "What does it have to do with me and Concubine Zhen? If it weren't for your Song family not taking the emperor seriously, how could you have ended up like this today?"

"What do you mean?" "

I don't mean anything. Your Majesty can't figure it out, so just continue to hate me and Concubine Zhen!"

Jiang Cainu's eyes were full of sarcasm: "Your Majesty watched me die without saving me, but now I will not be such a heartless person."

She said to the eunuch behind her: "When it's daybreak, send Concubine Li back to Changxin... Oh no... She is no longer the high and mighty Concubine Gui. The emperor has ordered you to live with me in Xihe Palace."

Moreover, Jiang Yuan lived in the main hall as a low-ranking Cainu, while Concubine Li lived in a side hall as a high-ranking concubine.

The emperor's favors have all gone, and he is so heartless.

Jiang Yuan walked in the heavy rain, and the small oil-paper umbrella could not protect her shoulders from being wet by the rain.

The eunuch holding the umbrella was soaked, but he was still worried that Jiang Cainu would punish him for being caught in the rain.

Look!

This is how it is in the palace, where big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and shrimps eat gravel.

But one day, a small fish like Zhenpin will grow into a Kunpeng and swallow all the weak into its stomach.

The Queen Mother... will not be proud for long.

It doesn't matter if Zhenpin is unwilling to form an alliance with her, she can dig the Queen's heart by herself.

After solving the problem of the Song family, Emperor Xuanwu has been in a very good mood recently. Even Jiang Cainu was promoted to Jiang Jieyu

. In addition, the Jiang family has recently defeated the powerful Song family and has been flattered by court officials, so the reputation of Jiang Hewei has become increasingly greater.

However, Jiang Yankun received Jiang Xinyue's instructions and whenever someone asked about it, she would push all the credit to Jiang Hewei and try to weaken the key role played by the Jiang family in this matter.

She also suggested sending the "initiator" of the family, Da Tangbo, back to his hometown in Yizhou, and try not to let anyone remember this person.

What Jiang Xinyue said in the letter was also very reasonable. She said that the Song family was a big tree with deep roots. Although Prime Minister Song had no chance of recovery, Prime Minister Song was still there. The Song family had not completely disbanded, and could not cause any big waves, but it was more than enough to deal with the Jiang and Jiang families.

If the Jiang family was arrogant when the Song family was in decline, it would inevitably hurt the eyes of the Song family.

When they were retaliated, the rising star of the Jiang family would not be able to resist.

Besides, Jiang Yankun had already got the most practical benefits and was promoted to the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Justice by Emperor Xuanwu. What was the point of those false names?

Jiang Xinyue also wrote another letter to her cousin Jiang Yanxi, saying that she would let the emperor remember him at the right time, and then the Song family would not have to be afraid.

If the direct line of the Jiang family was really capable, they wouldn't have only produced one local government official.

Jiang Yankun also advised his cousin: "After entering the palace, Sister Yue defeated several of the emperor's favorite concubines, and even got the emperor to release her after she was sent to the cold palace, and she was promoted to the throne. I was able to become the Minister of Justice because of her whispering in the emperor's ear. Cousin Xi... we should listen to Sister Yue, and the day when the Jiang family will rise to prominence is not far away." Jiang

Yanxi was very excited by his words, especially when Jiang Yankun asked him to pick a few people in the clan who could read and send them to the capital, saying that he would build a clan school in the Jiang Mansion to test the homework of several children and see if they can participate in this year's autumn examination with Brother Ze.

It would be great if the Jiang family could produce more young and promising officials. His own future was not that important.

Jiang Yanxi immediately prepared horses and even refused the carriage prepared by Jiang Yankun, thinking that the carriage was cumbersome.

He wanted to return to Yizhou as soon as possible, tell the clan the news, and then bring the younger generations of the clan over early, otherwise they would be delayed on the road and would not be able to catch up.

Originally, the Autumn Examination was scheduled for August, but after the Song family cheated in the imperial examination, the emperor postponed the date to the end of the year.

This is not called the Autumn Examination, but the Winter Examination.

It will take a month to go to Yizhou and back!

There is not much time left for preparation.

After the provincial examination, there will be the metropolitan examination in February next year. After the metropolitan examination, the final palace examination will be held in March.

Time is still quite tight.

Although the provincial examination can also be taken in Yizhou, Jiang Yanxi feels that the most promising person in the family is Jiang Yankun, who was the second place in the imperial examination that year.

So he decided to bring all the children of the family to the capital and transfer their school registration to the capital.

The Jiang family is the richest family in Yizhou, and the prefect of Yizhou also hopes that he has some connections in the capital. Not only will he not embarrass them, but he is also eager to get it done for them as soon as possible so as not to delay the examination time.
