At Prince Jing's Mansion, the servant who went to deliver the message has returned.
The Queen Mother's face was ashen, her eyes filled with anger as she said, "I'm so sick that I can't get out of bed. No one would believe that! You were so energetic when you came out of the hunting ground holding Wen Mohan. Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid trying to trick you?"
At that time, Wen Mohan was leaning in her arms with blood all over his body, but she didn't seem to be very sad, and even her eyes were not red.
Now he says that he is too sad to be bedridden, which is obviously an excuse!
Mu He fanned the flames, saying, "The Queen Mother, it was she who ordered the tigers to attack us. She wished Prince Ning would die and was not willing to help him at all."
Wen Jingyun has been in a coma. Mu He had a wound on his face yesterday and did not say anything about what happened.
The Queen Mother had always believed that they were accidentally injured because they got close, but now she was a little skeptical when she heard the truth.
"You said she ordered the tigers to attack you. How is that possible? It's ridiculous. I've lived for decades and have never heard of such a thing."
"Even domestic animals wouldn't obey their masters so well, let alone ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts. It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
This made Mu He very anxious. It was indeed outrageous, but it was indeed the truth!
"Empress Dowager..."
"Your Majesty, don't listen to this vixen." Hong Meir didn't like Mu He very much and interrupted, "She must be trying to push her responsibility out of guilt and making up excuses."
Mu He was furious. "Why should I feel guilty? Tiger trembles when he sees her. If Wen Jingyun wakes up, he can testify!"
Her tone was very firm, which made the Queen Mother a little doubtful.
But now is not the time to worry about whether this matter is true or not, but to find a way to get Jiang Mengli over.
"Empress Dowager, I know how to make her come here obediently." Lin Moer, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at her, "You say."
Lin Moer smiled. "You probably haven't chatted with her grandmother for a long time. Why not invite her over? As long as Jiang is here, she will definitely come."
As soon as this idea was put forward, it was immediately approved by the Queen Mother.
In the entire capital, Jiang is Jiang Mengli's only relative, so it is impossible for her to ignore him.
At Jiang's house, Jiang was pruning branches with scissors.
She is always busy and always finds something to do. She even grows some vegetables in the backyard.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Liu Ma went forward to open the door and saw that it was a eunuch with a friendly smile.
Aunt Liu was startled, but she forced a faint smile and said respectfully, "Please come in, sir. May I ask what may I have for you?"
After hearing this, Jiang looked back and was very surprised to see a eunuch coming to her house.
I remember the last time the eunuch came to my house, he was announcing an imperial decree to confiscate my property.
She immediately put down the scissors in her hand and walked over, feeling very nervous, afraid that something bad might happen again.
The eunuch bowed respectfully and said, "Madam Jiang, we are ordered by the Queen Mother to invite you to the Prince Jing's Mansion to reminisce about the past. She is particularly concerned about you."
The Jiang family once held high positions of power. Jiang often entered and left the palace and had frequent interactions with the empress dowager.
It has been as long since the Jiang family was defeated as it has been since they last saw each other.
Prince Jing's biological mother and the Queen Mother were sisters, so she treated Prince Jing as her own son, and it was normal for him to stay in Prince Jing's mansion.
"Uh... okay, I'll pack up and go." Jiang nodded and went to the dormitory.
Aunt Liu followed beside him and said worriedly, "It doesn't seem normal for the Queen Mother to suddenly invite you over. It's been so many years."
If I really cared about you, I wouldn't have ignored it before.
Eight years have passed. It sounds fake to say that I still miss you.
Jiang went into the house, took off her coat, and found a suitable set of clothes to put on. "No matter what the reason is, I have no right to turn back. Even if it means I have to jump into a fire pit."
"She's a strong-willed person, very concerned about her reputation, and ruthless. If I don't go, she'll definitely say I'm disrespectful and have a ton of reasons to punish me."
The two of them used to interact frequently, and although they seemed to get along well on the surface, they were not harmonious in private. She had a deep understanding of the empress dowager.
She simply arranged her hair into a bun and did not wear any valuable headdresses, only using a wooden hairpin.
When he went out, he found that the eunuch was still waiting and even had a carriage prepared.
When she got off the carriage and walked into Prince Jing's mansion, the Queen Mother greeted her with a smile on her face, "Sister Jiang, it's been a long time since we last met. I've been thinking about you all the time."
Jiang's scalp tingled when she heard the address, and she quickly knelt down, "This old woman pays her respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is really insulting me. How dare I ask her to call me sister?"
The Queen Mother helped her up and said, "You're used to being called that. Let's go sit in the back garden. The scenery there is beautiful."
Then they linked arms affectionately and headed towards the back garden.
…
"Princess, Princess! Something bad has happened!"
Yun Jian knocked hurriedly on Wen Mohan's door.
Jiang Mengli was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by a knock on the door. "Come in, what's going on?"
She felt a headache after sleeping for a long time, so she patted her forehead and got out of bed.
The door creaked open, and Yun Jian said solemnly, "The Queen Mother has taken your grandmother to Prince Jing's residence to reminisce about the past. She said that if you want Old Madam Jiang to be safe, you must go."
Jiang Mengli's mind cleared instantly, and he slammed the table in anger, "Despicable! Shameless! Vulgar! Such despicable behavior!"
As she spoke, she glanced at the frowning man on the bed, "Now, my grandmother is implicated in this! This old woman is so abominable, does she really want me to die?"
"If you push me any further, I'll usurp the throne and become the empress, making her kneel down and beg me... mmm..."
Before he could finish his words, Yun Jian covered his mouth.
