Jiang Shi said hoarsely: "There is still something to be done."
He forced himself to stay awake and instructed Danqing many things.
The news of Yu Tanqi's injury must not be known to the Xie family.
The servants in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion kept their mouths shut, and the news of Yu Tanqi's injury did not spread. Everyone thought that Jiang Shi was injured again.
When the emperor found out about this, he was furious and sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The Jiang family trembled in fear, not understanding why Jiang Shi still hadn't died.
Jiang Qi's eyes turned red, and he became a little angry and collapsed: "Is he a monster? Why can't he die!"
They had tried to assassinate Jiang Shi countless times in the seventeen years since he was a child, but none of them succeeded.
Every time he was seriously injured and fell into a coma, then woke up after a while. His face looked pale, but nothing had happened.
Chen was very scared: "Master, we won't be exposed, right?"
She felt inexplicably uneasy. She had planned to murder Jiang Shi before, but never had she been as uneasy as this time.
It would have been fine if it had succeeded this time, but it failed as usual.
Although Jiang Qi was also feeling uneasy, he did not show it on the surface. He said in a deep voice: "Why are you panicking? We have not been exposed for so many years, and we will not be exposed this time."
Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but her brows were naturally furrowed.
She wanted to say something but stopped herself, but Jiang Shi now seemed very different from before.
They couldn't understand why Jiang Shi, who was obviously weak, could escape death again and again?
Even if he had the secret guards left by Jiang Chu and Lan Luozhu, who had protected him for so many years, they must have suffered great losses. How could they have saved him?
It can't be that Jiang Chu and Lan Luozhu, who have been dead for many years, are protecting him!
Jiang Yongcun was also very annoyed, and the hostility in his eyes became heavier.
He hadn't been out for a long time, all because Jiang Shi refused to let them into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion anymore. The Jiang family's current cash flow was not enough to cover his expenses for food, drink and entertainment.
"Dad, Mom, if you ask me, you should have killed Jiang Shi a long time ago. Then the Wu'an Marquis Mansion would have been ours long ago, and there wouldn't be so much trouble now!"
In Jiang Yongcun's opinion, since it is useless to let others poison or assassinate him, it is better to do it himself.
"That sickly fellow Jiang Shi had no defenses against us before. You had plenty of chances to kill him yourselves, but you chose to let others do it. What a waste of time!"
"Now, we can't get into the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion. I guess we don't have a chance."
Jiang Qin and Qin Shi next door were also feeling uneasy.
For some reason, they felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
When they failed to kill Jiang again, they were disappointed but not very surprised.
Jiang Huicen, who had been unhappy at home for a long time, was startled when she heard the news that Jiang Shi was seriously injured and unconscious. She remembered the nightmares she had had during this period and hurried to find Jiang Qin and Qin.
"Dad, Mom, let's run away!" She looked panicked and anxious, as if she had encountered something bad.
Qin quickly grabbed her hands and comforted her, "Why are you suddenly talking like this, kid?"
Jiang Huicen said quickly: "Dad and Mom, you have to believe me, if we don't escape quickly, our whole family will be exiled!"
Jiang Qin frowned and scolded coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Really? I'm not lying to you. I had a dream. I dreamed that Jiang Shi was once again seriously injured and unconscious. All the things our Jiang family had done to him in the past were exposed. The emperor was furious and exiled us all to the wasteland. Jiang Yongcun died, my uncle died, and so many people died... It was terrifying!"
"I think you are not in a clear mind and talking nonsense. Qin, take your daughter away quickly!" Jiang Qin's face was gloomy and his eyes were terribly cold.
Qin quickly grabbed Jiang Huicen and left, "Oh, my dear daughter, what happened to you? You just had a dream..."
Jiang Qin took a deep breath, but felt more and more uneasy.
She was just talking about a dream.
How could the entire Jiang family be exiled?
it's out of the question.
However, on the fourth day after Jiang Shi was "seriously injured and unconscious", Dali Temple Minister Du Boling led his men to surround their two families.
Jiang Qi's family and Jiang Qin's family were both arrested and put into the Dali Temple's prison van.
They did not have Jiang Shi's noble status, so naturally they would not be treated well.
The Dali Temple presented evidence of the crimes committed by both families over the years, as well as evidence of conspiracy with the Third Prince.
Naturally, they refused to admit it, but the evidence was conclusive. After a joint trial by the three courts, the emperor was furious after seeing the detailed evidence and ordered severe punishment for the Jiang family and the third prince.
Because of Jiang Chu, the Jiang family was not executed. Jiang Qi and Jiang Qin were the masterminds and were sent to the guillotine, while the others were exiled and never allowed to return to Beijing.
The third prince was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the prince's mansion, where he was not allowed to leave.
Concubine Wang was devastated and went to the emperor to plead for mercy, crying, "Your Majesty, Lue'er is your child, my only child. How could you bear to treat him like this for an outsider?"
The emperor said coldly, "I have more than one son, but the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife only have one child, Jiang Shi."
Concubine Wang's crying stopped abruptly.
The emperor said disappointedly, "You are the daughter of Wang of Langya, a noble lady from an aristocratic family. Why did you raise such a vicious and cruel child? Wang, you have greatly disappointed me."
"No, Your Majesty, I..." Concubine Wang suddenly felt extremely panicked. She wanted to grab the emperor's sleeve, but he ruthlessly shook her off.
After that, Concubine Wang fell out of favor, her power to assist in managing the six palaces was stripped away, and the Yanx Palace became like a cold palace.
The concubines in the harem began to become more active and their attempts to vie for favor became more and more bold.
The officials of the previous dynasty also had their own thoughts and began to send women to the emperor.
Although the emperor is now over 40 and has many adult princes, the prince born now will definitely not be eligible for the position of crown prince, but if he is favored by the emperor, the concubine can also support her family.
The emperor’s grace is so great, who wouldn’t want to be favored by the emperor?
Look at the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife. They have been dead for so long, but the emperor still cares about them. He has taken care of their only child, Jiang Shi, for more than ten years and raised him like his own son.
The Wang Guifei and her son suffered a loss together, but the Queen and her son suffered a loss and a gain.
The eldest prince received the actual post of Vice Minister of Personnel, and seeing that he had a better chance of becoming the crown prince, the Queen's family could not help but become arrogant. The news that Zhang Kai, the son of Marquis Xuanping, had "bullied men and women" and killed people spread, and he was reported by several civil officials.
The emperor not only reprimanded Marquis Xuanping and the eldest prince in front of all the civil and military officials, but also took his anger out on the queen when he returned to the harem, and handed over the power to assist in managing the six palaces to Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian is the biological mother of the Sixth Prince.
There was an uproar in the court and the harem.
Now it seems that the ones who benefited the most were Concubine Xian and her son, while those who suffered the most were Concubine Wang and her son.
The situation of the queen and her son was not very good.
As the emperor's brother-in-law, the son of Marquis Xuanping was too prone to causing trouble, which directly affected the reputation of the eldest prince and the queen.
The Sixth Prince’s followers in the court are growing in number and becoming more and more arrogant.
