Chapter 386 Instructions
Li Chengxiu and Jiang Wan spent the New Year happily with the whole family at Old Jiang's house. As soon as they returned to the palace the next day, they received news from their subordinates.
"The Prime Minister's residence was attacked last night. The others were only slightly injured, but Ji Minzhi was seriously injured and his life is hanging by a thread."
Li Chengxiu carefully turned the paper in his hand over and over again, but finally had no choice but to ask his wife for help.
"Wife, who do you think has a deep grudge against Old Ji? He won't let his family have peace during the New Year."
"Is that all you can think of?"
After taking the message from her husband and reading it, Jiang Wan frowned and sighed.
"Ji Xun is the head of all officials, so it's perfectly normal for him to have mortal enemies. But Ji Minzhi is only the second son, and he has his father and brother to support him. How could he be the one to be seriously injured and on the verge of death?"
"so?"
"So, Ji Yunzhi definitely deserves 70% of the credit for this!"
"Oh, are these two brothers fighting now?"
Li Chengxiu slapped his thigh in sudden realization.
"Oh my gosh! If I had known earlier, I would have assigned more people to Lao Wu to support Ji Lao Er. That kid wouldn't have fallen into the trap of that bastard Ji Yunzhi so easily. Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, what a pity..."
"What nonsense are you talking about again?"
Jiang Wan pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked out.
"You play with Ah Zhuo for a while. I have something to do and need to go out for a while."
"Oh, you should go early and come back early. It's a rare New Year's Day that those living ancestors can give us three days of leisure. My son and I want to stay with you."
The emperor had developed a good habit of never asking what the queen was busy with. If she wanted to say something, she would tell her naturally. If she didn't want to say something, he didn't want to hear lies.
So even though the tone sounds a little reluctant, the attitude is very worthy of praise.
Jiang Wan turned back with a smile and gave him a kiss, which instantly made Li Chengxiu dizzy again, as she was impressed by the tacit understanding and trust between her life partner.
He really likes her, he really does!
Leaving the emperor who was still laughing foolishly to himself to play with her son, the queen calmly led her people out of the palace.
Inside the Qianji Pavilion.
Jiang Wan received several secret letters, raised the corner of his mouth in a playful manner, and sneered as he read them.
"Are they trying to dig up my Jiang family's secrets? Ha, they're quite bold. If I don't get angry, they'll think I've changed my temper."
Cheng Zhuo stood quietly with his hands clasped, waiting for his master's instructions.
"Go, tell the third brother to bring some people to teach them a lesson! Don't touch the others for now, I'll keep them for later use.
Tell the third brother to beat up Qian Junyan from the Qian family and spare his life. Let Qian Chongli see clearly that there are no cowards in the Jiang family who can't stand up.
besides,"
Jiang Wan put down the letter in his hand, picked up the small black piece in the wooden box in front of him, observed it carefully and sniffed it, his voice calm and without any change.
"Send a message to Wang Bao, the thing they found in this mountain range is what I want.
Tell them that they must cut through mountains and build bridges across rivers, and that they must get this mountain range at all costs.
If anyone from the aristocratic families of Shouning Prefecture dares to forcibly obstruct me again, I will issue my order to kill them without mercy!"
The last three words were spoken with murderous intent. I don’t know when it started, but the Doctor Jiang who would go crazy from time to time has transformed into the decisive and murderous Queen Jiang today.
"yes!"
After waiting for about five breaths and making sure that his master had no other instructions, Cheng Zhuo bowed respectfully and quickly turned around to carry out the order.
Jiang Wan closed the lid of the wooden box in front of him and pushed it aside.
"Hongxiu, hand this item over to the manager of Qianji Pavilion. Remember to instruct Jiang Han to lead the team to research and deal with this item in three days. I have already discussed the general methods with her before, and she knows what to do."
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Miss Hongxiu, who was never vague about serious matters, picked up the wooden box and went out without any nonsense.
Jiang Wan picked up another secret letter and read it word by word three times before he frowned and folded it and stuffed it back into the envelope.
She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, and Hongzhu, who was standing by, tiptoed behind her. She raised her hands and skillfully massaged her temples.
"Master, if you can't figure it out for now, take a break. Slow things down and you'll be fine. Don't get angry and get yourself hurt. The young master is still young, and will need your guidance in the future!"
"Don't try to persuade me. I understand the reasoning clearly."
He sighed softly, and when his mind felt much clearer, he slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand to slowly pull away the soft hands on his forehead.
"Hongzhu, how are things going over there? Do you need my help?"
Hongzhu stepped aside obediently, lowered her eyelids, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"You, have changed your mind?"
Jiang Wan looked at her close confidant. There was no anger in her voice. She was just chatting with him calmly, like a friend.
“If you really don’t want to divorce Ma Fei, that’s normal, you don’t have to feel embarrassed.
After all, humans are not plants or trees. You have known each other for so long and he has always been good to you. If you can't let it go, then don't make it difficult for yourself.
"I've seen you looking so sad these past few days, and I'm worried about whether you're unhappy because of this. Don't feel like you're being unfair to me, I really hope you can live a good life, really!"
"This is not the reason why I am in trouble. It's..."
Hongzhu found it difficult to speak.
"Tell me what it is. If there's something wrong, we can just find a way to solve it. Why do you keep dwelling on it?"
Jiang Wan was confused by his subordinate's reaction and looked at him and gave him a serious advice.
"Hongzhu, you know I have a lot of new plans for next year, and I'll definitely need your help.
You can't always be trapped in love between men and women!
It would be best if we had this thing, but not having it wouldn't hinder our careers, right? You know, career and power are the best ways for women to stay young.
When the time is right, if you are lucky enough to climb to a high position and hold power, then look down at your feet. I guarantee there will be no shortage of handsome men, full of love and sincerity, running towards you and madly pursuing you!
He admitted that what the master said made sense, but Hongzhu's usually calm face suddenly became even more miserable.
"It's really not what you think, Master. I'm not reluctant to part with Ma Fei, nor am I reluctant to part with the so-called General's Wife title of this little general's wife! What I'm reluctant to part with is..."
She touched her belly with her left hand and was so angry that she almost cried.
