Chapter 453 Playing the card

When Jiang heard this, she was shocked and her face changed suddenly. She was obviously shocked by the second prince's words.

But after all, she was a queen and a queen mother. Soon, her face softened and she said with a smile: "Chengnian, my dear grandson, what are you doing here? You don't want to kidnap grandma back, do you?"

"Grandma is old, and it's really uncomfortable to be locked up in the Fanyin Temple."

"Grandma doesn't have many years to live, so she just wants to live a few years of peace. Just think of the relationship between you and me and let grandma go."

Facing the sudden appearance of the second prince, Jiang's first reaction was that the second prince was ordered to capture her and bring her back to Daxia.

She ran away secretly, and if she was caught and taken back, she might face more than just being locked up in the Fanyin Temple.

Jiang said a bunch of soft words in the hope of delaying the Second Prince.

In the end, she did not get the answers she had imagined.

The Second Prince smiled and shook his head, saying, "Grandmother, you are so old now. It is your own business to elope with which lover you want. I, your grandson, will not care about it."

When Jiang heard the words "lover, elope", her old face turned red all the way to her ears.

"Chengnian, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I am at least your elder. How can you frame me like this?" Although Jiang's face showed anger, her voice was a little weak.

The second prince pulled a stool over and sat down, saying calmly: "Grandma, you don't really think my father is a vegetarian, do you? He is the king of a country, how could he not even find out this information?!"

"The current Prime Minister of Dai Viet, Han Lie, is not the Han Qin Master who was famous in the capital of Da Xia a few decades ago!"

"The Empress Dowager and him had a fierce battle in the past! But, you two lovers, in the end, could not resist the control of family power."

Jiang couldn't hold back any longer, her face was extremely ugly, her hands were shaking, "You...you..."

Seeing this, the second prince stood up and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Jiang, "Empress Dowager, don't be angry, drink a cup of tea and calm down."

At this time, Xia Miaoyuan, who was standing at the window next to him and listening attentively, was already so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. [Second brother is too unexpected, right? ]

[He actually took this opportunity to play an open card with old lady Jiang? ]

[Actually, think about it, this opportunity is not bad. ]

[Second brother has become smart, brave and resourceful! Thumbs up! 】

Jiang saw that the Second Prince was not mocking her on purpose, and her anger subsided a little.

"Grandma, I don't want to ask about your old affairs. In fact, my father also wants to turn a blind eye to it." The Second Prince's voice was gentle.

Jiang took a sip from the teacup, raised her eyes and said, "Is it really so? Your father doesn't want to take me back."

"Is this true? Why should I lie to you?" The Second Prince looked at Jiang sincerely.

Jiang asked again: "Then why did you come to see me today?"

The second prince straightened his robe, sat back on the stool, and said slowly: "Grandma, originally, I didn't want to see you. Since you are willing to choose this kind of life, we will just pretend that we don't know anything."

"But recently, my grandson accidentally found out something that is very related to you, so I decided to meet you."

Jiang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The second prince put on a serious look and said, "Do you still remember the tragedy at the palace banquet that year? The sixth uncle died tragically under the sword of the great uncle?"

When Jiang heard this, her eyes instantly turned red, "How could I not remember, it was at that palace banquet that Xia Zhengjie killed my Ze'er!"

"He was only seventeen years old, a time when he was full of vigor and vitality. Xia Zhengjie, this vicious man, actually killed him with a sword!"

"Even if the late emperor favored Ze'er, he was very jealous, but Ze'er was his younger brother after all!"

"On the surface, he looked like a humble gentleman, but he could do such a cruel act as killing his brother! He is a beast! A hypocrite!"

As a mother, love for children is natural. Back then, the death of the sixth prince Xia Zhengze was the greatest pain in Jiang's heart.

Therefore, when the second prince mentioned this matter, it aroused the pain in Jiang's heart.

The second prince waited quietly until Jiang had almost vented her anger before he spoke: "Madam Empress, in fact, that tragedy was not an accident caused by out-of-control emotions at all. It was a conspiracy carefully arranged by someone."

"Uncle, Sixth Uncle, they are just pawns in the hands of the person who arranged the situation."

Jiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and frowned, "You said that on purpose, after all, Xia Zhengjie is closer to you."

The second prince smiled helplessly and said, "Madam Empress, think about it, why do I need to make up such a lie to deceive you today? What good will it do me to deliberately whitewash uncle and eliminate your hatred?"

Jiang lowered her eyes and thought for a while. What the second prince said was indeed reasonable. She pursed the corners of her lips embarrassedly.

"Since you said that someone had set up a trap, what exactly happened?"

The second prince said in a deep voice: "Back then, when the emperor was in power, our Great Xia was strong and Dai Yue was very jealous."

"Later, they came up with a vicious plan to kill three birds with one stone. That is to set up a trap for my uncle and control his words and deeds."

"That's how the tragedy at the palace banquet happened."

"Think about it, how could my uncle, who was so patient and restrained, do such a crazy thing?"

"Wasn't his behavior that day very abnormal?"

Jiang's lips moved a few times when she heard this, but she still hesitated to speak.

How could she not know that Xia Zhengjie's behavior was abnormal at that time.

However, how could she admit that Xia Zhengjie's behavior was abnormal when she saw her son being stabbed to death with a sword?

Thinking of this, Jiang asked coldly, "What evidence do you have to prove it?"

"Back then, it was a witch from Daxia who disguised herself as a woman in distress and got close to my uncle. She was the one who trapped my uncle. She was also present when the tragedy happened."

Then, the second prince told Jiang about his experience of being trapped by Dayue a few months ago.

Jiang's hostile eyes softened, "So, trapping the prince of Daxia with a snake and letting you fight against each other is a common method used by Dayue!"

The second prince nodded, "That's right."

"What a vicious method, what a vicious Daiyue. Your great uncle, your sixth uncle, your grandfather, were all killed by this vicious plan!" Jiang said word by word.

"My poor Ze'er..." Jiang's eyes were filled with tears.

The second prince stared at Jiang and said, "Then do you know who came up with this vicious plan?"
