Chapter 136 I hate ghosts who have no sense of propriety!
Yesterday, after Princess Zhaoning left the palaces of the concubines, several ladies could not hold back and ordered people to keep an eye on Qixiang Palace.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t keep an eye on her…there’s definitely something wrong with that Concubine Xiao!
If she's still restless after losing her money and favor, don't blame everyone for using their own tricks to step on her to get to the top!
The closer it got to the start of the opening banquet, the more anxious the ladies from each palace became, repeatedly considering whether there were any loopholes in their plans...
If I can completely eliminate the Xiao family today, and if I can be promoted to the position of Imperial Concubine in the future, I will definitely give Princess Zhaoning a great gift!
Fighting in the palace, fighting in the house... Within the high walls, if you don’t take the initiative to fight others, you will never get ahead!
What they want is not a little love from a heartless man...
What they fight for is wealth and glory, and what they hope for is to avoid being buried alive in the future!
The Queen is no longer a threat. Whether or not we can get rid of Concubine Xiao depends on this one move!!!
…
Outside the Longqing Palace.
As the Queen Mother stepped down from the phoenix chariot holding little Tangbao's hand, she saw Jiang Zhong and his wife kneeling at the foot of the stone steps.
Mrs. Jiang was crying and begging for mercy, and was kowtowing to Emperor Liang.
She seemed to be unaware of the pain and hit the ground very hard each time. The blood from her forehead not only covered her face, but also dyed the ground red.
"Your Majesty, Tongshu has acted improperly and deserves death!"
"But he is the only son of Lao Jiang and my wife. Please, Your Majesty, give him a way out, Your Majesty..."
“…”
She cried and kowtowed to the emperor, and everyone was deeply moved by her motherly heart.
"I am willing to die in Tongshu's place!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness is going to die right now!"
As she spoke, she quickly looked around, staggered to her feet, and suddenly rushed towards the lotus pot not far away.
She really had no choice!
She wants to exchange one life for another!
This was the only way she could use to give her son and the grandson she had only met a few times a chance to survive.
Aunt Yao was quick-witted and quick-handed, and her steps were even faster. She tiptoed, rushed forward, grabbed her shoulders, and threw her to the ground.
"Today is Princess Zhaoning's opening banquet. If you have anything to say, please speak to His Majesty later!"
Tang Bao moved his little body and kept looking towards Mrs. Jiang.
There was a female ghost beside Mrs. Jiang. She looked to be in her forties and wore very ordinary clothes, the same kind of clothes that Feng Tiedan's mother usually wore.
There were several bloody holes on her back, obviously she was attacked from behind and died.
And the fact that he stabbed her so many times showed that he was determined to kill her.
The female ghost suddenly turned her head to look at Tang Bao. She always felt that this child could see her, and she smelled very nice...
In a breath, she floated in front of little Tangbao and made a face at the little boy unexpectedly.
Xiao Tangbao was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He subconsciously punched her and knocked her away with one punch.
The female ghost flew away, then flew back with a whoosh, leaning over and staring straight into Tang Bao's eyes: "You can see me, right? Right?"
The female ghost's face was full of surprise and excitement. If she knew that with the strength Tang Bao had just used, she would have been scared to death if he had made another move, she would definitely not be able to laugh.
Tang Bao blinked and nodded, anger floating on his chubby little face.
If you have something to say, just say it. Why scare a child?
I hate ghosts who have no sense of propriety!
After thinking for a moment, the little fellow said in a soft voice that only the female ghost could hear: "Not only can I see you, I can also help you fulfill your wish in the human world."
"Your merits in the human world don't seem to be much, you must give them all to me!"
real! ?
The female ghost was so excited that her eyeballs fell to the ground and rolled far away. She didn't bother to pick them up and nodded quickly.
"Here you go! All my merits are yours!"
"As long as the little Taoist priest can help me get rid of my obsession, I'd be happy even if it meant I had to be reborn as an animal in my next life!"
Suddenly, a tiny light purple electric current engraved into the ghost girl's eyebrows at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
From then on, the deal was done.
Xiao Tangbao nodded with satisfaction.
I thought that this was the good thing about doing business with ghosts and spirits. You didn't have to donate money and write a guarantee document like you do when dealing with people!
`(｀へ′*)ノ`...it's so infuriating!
No matter how powerful the ghost is, once a deal is made, it cannot be changed.
She didn't care. Once the other party went back on their word, she wouldn't need Father Xi to support her. Those ghosts would naturally be punished by heaven and pay a thousand times the price.
"Is your obsession Sen?"
"Listen to me..."
Not long after...
The female ghost looked at Madam Jiang softly, then stared at Jiang Zhong with red eyes who was still kneeling in front of Emperor Liang.
"Your Highness, I am a midwife. When I was delivering Madam Jiang's baby, I was blinded by money and accepted money from Jiang Zhong, helping him switch Madam Jiang's child."
"I originally thought that both children were Jiang Zhong's own flesh and blood, and that this action, apart from being unfair to Mrs. Jiang, wasn't a big mistake... But I didn't expect Jiang Zhong to be so cruel and mad that he actually killed me with his own hands..."
"I'm unwilling to accept this, I regret it. I just want to help Madam Jiang once, as much as possible, to atone for my sins!"
The little guy was stunned...
If that’s the case, then Mrs. Chiang is really miserable!
She wanted to exchange her own life for Jiang Tongshu's, but that Jiang Tongshu was not her biological son! ?
Then the question arises——
Who is Jiang Tongshu's mother? Does Tang Bao know her?
"Not only that, Jiang Tongshu knew everything. He exploited Madam Jiang's dowry by any means necessary, and even used the money he got from her to hire someone on the black market to kill her own son!"
"This father and son...are not human beings at all!!"
"God, I did something wrong and my death is not a pity, but I truly regret it! I have no other request but to let Madam Jiang know the truth! I want to see Jiang Zhong go to hell with my own eyes!!"
The ghost girl's words made Xiao Tangbao look at Mrs. Jiang with heartache.
"Your request is not excessive. I will end this matter as soon as possible."
"..." Upon hearing this, the female ghost kowtowed to Tang Bao respectfully and then floated back to Mrs. Jiang.
Xiao Tangbao pouted and shook his head...
What a selfish bad guy, he keeps saying that he knows he is wrong and wants to atone for his sins, but he knows that his evil spirit can hurt people, yet he still keeps pestering the lady!
No wonder she, as a midwife, should have great blessings, but has very few merits!
The moment the little guy rolled his eyes, he suddenly felt that he might have business again!
She would have to find an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Jiang later...
Seeing the little guy shaking his head and shivering, the Queen Mother's first thought was that her precious great-grandson was feeling cold.
She took Tang Bao's hand and tried to leave, but the little guy refused to move and kept looking at the emperor.
Seeing her eyes wide open without blinking, the old queen laughed suddenly, thinking that Tang Bao really liked to watch the fun. She remembered it.
Later, Tang Bao went to Zhi Academy. Whenever there was excitement in the palace, she would ask the painter to draw it. If there was no excitement, she would create it. In the end, she wrote everything down in a sketchbook and kept it for Tang Bao.
This palace is much more lively than the deserted Prince Qing's Mansion. I guarantee that after school, the little guy will only want to come to Shoukang Palace to find his great-grandmother and will not want to go back to Prince Qing's Mansion!
Tang Bao indeed found it more and more interesting the more he watched...
Unlike Mrs. Jiang who was begging with tears in her eyes, Jiang Zhong just knelt there, with his back straight, staring at Emperor Liang with red eyes.
It seems that the one who cheated on Third Uncle wasn't his son, but his son was the one who was bullied and wronged! ?
Emperor Liang frowned slightly, and after a long pause, he said in a grave tone, "I didn't see you because I haven't decided what to do with Tongshu yet. You're so brave that you actually found your way here."
"That day, I beheaded Wei on the spot. Tongshu humiliated my son in such a way, yet he survived until now. Isn't this a great favor to you?"
"To be honest, my relationship with the Third Brother has just improved... You are making plans for your son, and I have to consider mine as well."
Now that he has rediscovered the love between mother and son, the only remaining regret is... a hundred years later, he doesn't want to have no son to see him off sincerely!
The meaning revealed in Emperor Liang's words made Jiang Zhong's eyes even redder.
Mrs. Jiang immediately closed her eyes and fainted.
"..." Emperor Liang pinched his brows hard, looking at the increasing number of people, he ordered Madam Jiang to be sent to the Imperial Hospital.
He said to Jiang Zhong: "The Empress Dowager hasn't appeared before the officials for more than 20 years... If you want to stay and have a drink, that's fine, or if you want to go to the Imperial Hospital to see your wife, that's fine too. I won't say any more to you!"
After saying this, he ran to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother had just requested a large plot of land for Little Tang Bao. It was in a prime location, perfect for building a horse ranch and close to the Imperial City, so it wouldn't be easy to immediately displease the Emperor...
She had no choice but to suppress her unhappiness, holding Xiao Tangbao in one hand, putting the other hand on the emperor's arm, and walked into the palace with her head held high.
Emperor Liang was extremely satisfied with this, and a smile appeared on his face.
It’s a pity that the little thing still refused to call him Grandfather, which made him very unhappy.
Just wait and see, sooner or later he will kill her father and register her under the names of his sons!
Jiang Zhong did not follow him into the hall.
He stared at the emperor's back with a serious look, his back teeth almost broken, and his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.
The dog emperor was ungrateful. If he hadn't helped him plan and kill his father and brother, how could he have the throne today?
The bow is put away after the bird is dead. It would be fine if he treated him as a puppet and used him to control the Ministry of Personnel... His son just slept with a woman that Yun Lie didn't want. He had already castrated himself, but he wanted him to die?
Jiang Zhong's eyes grew increasingly gloomy, and he thought it was time to hand some things over to Prince Qing...
He stood up and told people that he was going to the Imperial Hospital, but when he arrived at the entrance, he slipped into a duty room, changed into a eunuch's robe, and rushed to the cold palace.
On the other side, Emperor Liang, who had been reluctant to see Jiang Zhong enter Longqing Hall, said to Shen Ying beside him, "Go find Jiang Zhong and ask him to come over for a drink."
"Tell him that Tongshu will definitely be sent to the execution platform... I will personally oversee the execution. Tell him to find someone who looks like Tongshu and replace him..."
