The imperial palace in Beijing.
"Empress Dowager, good news!" Nanny Ning hurried to the Empress Dowager to report, "Only Long Yi and Long Er came down the mountain in a panic. I heard they looked depressed. I told the Dragon Shadow Guards waiting at the foot of the mountain to return to the capital together."
"It's obvious that Jiang Mengli has died on the mountain. Those who were lurking in the dark have evacuated one after another, in several waves."
Hahaha……
The Queen Mother smiled happily, "I have said that if she goes up the mountain, she is doomed to die. Today is a good day, we must have a few drinks to celebrate."
As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid came to report that Lin Moer had arrived.
Because she was favored by the Queen Mother, she had the privilege of entering and leaving the palace freely.
Lin Moer's face had healed and was filled with joy. "Moer pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."
"Oh, you're beautiful again." The Queen Mother took her hand and asked her to sit beside her. "I guess you must be here to announce good news, and it's about Jiang Mengli."
Lin Moer pretended to be disappointed and said, "So the Queen Mother already knew about this. Moer was thinking of giving you a surprise. I also heard that there seemed to be civil unrest in Lion Head Ridge, and flames shot up into the sky."
"Really?" The Queen Mother was even happier. "The bandits at Lion Head Ridge must have been dealt a heavy blow. Double happiness!"
The two chatted happily and then talked about celebrating. The Queen Mother asked her to stay for dinner.
This matter soon reached Wen Mohan's ears. After hearing it, they were both very sorry and unhappy.
Yun Jian sighed softly, "I knew this would be the result a long time ago, but it's still hard to accept after it's confirmed. She's the only one who can help the master control his condition."
This is the reason why they feel sorry for her, not because they really feel sorry for her as a person.
Wen Mohan appeared calm on the surface. He looked at the various paper figurines in the room and ordered, "Dig the grave and find her clothes and put them in the coffin."
Yun Jian responded respectfully, "Yes."
Just as he walked out of the room, he almost collided head-on with Cheng Jiaojiao.
"Greetings, concubine." He still bowed respectfully.
At this moment, Cheng Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with worry, and she asked gently, "Is what you just said true? Princess Sister has really..."
"Oh, yes." Yun Jian responded and left with a frown.
Cheng Jiaojiao looked at his departing figure, a smile on her lips, and felt relieved after confirming his death.
She retracted her gaze and walked into the room. She looked at the handsome man drinking tea in front of the couch. She pretended to be worried and went forward to comfort him, "Your Highness, please accept your grief. The dead cannot be resurrected."
Wen Mohan drank a cup of tea with an indifferent expression, and said in a soft and cold voice: "Get out immediately, and don't let me say it again."
There was no one else in the room, so Cheng Jiaojiao didn't take his words too seriously.
Instead, she sat down beside him with a smile, "Your Highness, the princess has passed away now. Can I be promoted to princess? There must be a mistress in the palace. You..."
"Get out!" Wen Mohan gritted his teeth and interrupted her coldly before she could finish, "Someone, drag the concubine out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards suddenly came in from outside the door.
He grabbed Cheng Jiaojiao's arms on both sides and dragged her out without any hesitation.
ah……
"It hurts, please let me go..." Cheng Jiaojiao continued to struggle, "I can walk by myself, please let me go."
The guard then released her arm.
She looked back at the man with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I don't blame you. I know you must be very sad because of your sister's death. I came to accompany you tonight."
After saying that, he turned and left Yatingyuan.
An hour later, Yun Jian pushed Wen Mohan's coffin to the suburbs. The people along the way felt very sympathetic when they saw it.
Prince Yu was truly in love this time, but unfortunately, fate did not fulfill his wish and he was still killed.
The grave had already been dug, and after the coffin arrived, it was buried directly. The servants threw all the paper objects into the fire, and they burned with crackling sounds.
The tombstone is clearly engraved with "Tomb of my wife Jiang Mengli".
Wen Mohan just looked at him quietly, with no emotion visible. There were dancing flames in his pupils, like twinkling stars.
Yun Jian said, "Master, if you are sad, just cry. I won't laugh at you."
"Cry? Ha!" Wen Mohan's tone rose, with a hint of ridicule, "There's no outsider here, who are you pretending to be affectionate for? This prince won't shed tears for anyone, especially a woman."
My tears have dried up long ago, and I no longer know what sadness is.
From being bullied growing up to being a veteran of the battlefield, his heart has long been as cold as ice and as hard as stone.
At the city gate, two horses stopped and the guards immediately stopped them vigilantly.
Long San took out the Dragon Shadow Guard token and shouted, "Princess Yu, bring Princess Jinping back to the capital...!"
What?!
Everyone looked surprised.
It was clear that I had just heard about the death not long ago.
Suddenly, not only did he come back alive, but the princess also came back!
The guard was a little bit incredulous, "How is that possible? The Dragon Shadow Guard just entered the city a while ago, and they didn't say they had rescued the princess."
Long San frowned and said coldly, "The Princess of Yu is here, and the Princess is here too. How could it be fake? Get out of the way!"
At this moment, Long Yi appeared inside and said in a stern voice, "I came in and didn't say the princess couldn't be saved. They are the princess and the consort. Let them out!"
He had been waiting inside for a long time, just in case this situation happened.
The guard thought about it and realized that Long Yi really didn't say anything. It was all everyone's guess.
"Let him go!"
Then several people headed towards the palace.
Although there were many people along the way, some of them had no idea who they were, so they could hear the voices talking about Jiang Mengli.
Some said that she died a good death because she was the daughter of a guilty minister.
Some say it’s a pity that he died at such a young age.
Some people are saying that if she is treated as a concubine, she will be killed.
In the palace, the emperor, the empress, Lin Moer and others were having dinner with the empress dowager in Cining.
The queen mother held the exquisite glass wine glass in her arms and said with a smile, "Perhaps it's God's will. Not only did Jiang Mengli die at Lion Head Ridge, but the bandits also had internal strife. This is worth celebrating."
As he spoke, he raised his glass and everyone drank together.
Why……
The emperor pursed his lips, frowned, and sighed softly, "Our Wen and Jiang families have suppressed us for so many years, and we have finally eradicated them. Now the only hidden danger left is Old Nine."
In the past, he didn't take Wen Mohan seriously.
It was not until Wen Mohan had full control of the military power that the late emperor's confidant revealed that he not only had the imperial decree, but also the power granted by the late emperor to purge the court.
The Queen Mother smiled faintly and said, "It's almost time, everyone eat the food and stop looking."
"Good news..." A sharp and urgent voice suddenly came, and everyone looked sideways.
When they heard it was good news, everyone was curious about what it was.
hehe……
"Today is full of happy events." The Queen Mother smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. "When my mood is good, my appetite will be good. I must eat an extra bowl of rice."
The young eunuch hurried into the room, a look of joy on his face. "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, the Princess of Yu has returned with Princess Jinping!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on everyone's faces instantly collapsed, and they all froze and remained silent.
