"Not yet," the man replied in the negative.
Xu Wanying raised an eyebrow, her face clearly showing disbelief.
Jiang Chengli met her surprised gaze and couldn't help but give a self-deprecating laugh: "What, you don't believe me?"
"This isn't a matter of belief or disbelief, it's just illogical. No matter how capable you are, you're still a man who can't enter the harem. Those noble ladies have been climbing the ranks in the harem for years; it's their territory. Even if Consort Chen didn't receive the news, surely an ambitious woman like Consort Yue would find a way? And there's the Empress Dowager behind her; didn't she receive the news either?"
Xu Wanying refused to admit or believe it, instead presenting facts and reasoning, adopting an attitude of analyzing specific situations in specific contexts.
The man raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "Then your logic is flawed. Let me introduce myself. Before I met Xing Xiaoya, I was known as the most promising member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. If I weren't so young, the position of commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard would have been mine long ago. But even without the title, the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard is actually under my control. The commander position is just a title."
"Nothing in this world, big or small, can escape the investigation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the emperor's harem is no exception."
“Princess Zhaoyang offended Xing Xiaoya before and was punished by the Emperor by being confined to her quarters. The princess was so angry that she cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself. The Empress Dowager was busy persuading and comforting her and had no time to deal with these matters.”
"As for how ambitious and resourceful Consort Yue may be, she will not be able to find out about the Longgan Palace. If she dares to target the Emperor, she will be close to death."
The man's tone was casual, but his words were full of confidence, clearly indicating that he was not exaggerating, but stating the truth.
When he said the last sentence, his tone was colder than usual, as if Consort Yue was really about to die.
Xu Wanying was initially stunned by his composed demeanor, but when she heard the last sentence, she remembered what the system had said: Jiang Chengzhong was almost killed by Yuefei, and he was probably still in the dark, yet he was still so resolute.
She couldn't help but sneer: "Really? I don't believe it. I hope my husband will be humble and not underestimate women, lest he capsize in the gutter."
