Jin Linlin decided not to dwell on Jiang Zhixu's affairs anymore. She told Chunxue to have Nianchu and Dabao accompany Jiang Zhixu for dinner for the next two days.
Jin Linlin knew very well that if Jiang Zhixu insisted on saving his third brother, then they would probably never have the chance to sit together and have a meal like this again.
Tomorrow is the execution day of Cao Jiao and Jiang Shuyan, and she also promised Cao Jiao that she would release Erbao.
However, the issue of raising Erbao made Jin Linlin feel troubled. She really did not have the time to take care of Erbao, and Erbao had been raised by his parents to be selfish and shameless, so she had to find someone who could correct his temper and raise him.
Just when Jin Linlin was worried about this, Qiuyu rushed in and reported to her:
"Your Majesty, the former Duke of Zhenguo, Jiang Wangmo, your father-in-law, has arrived in the capital."
Upon hearing this, Jin Linlin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked doubtfully:
"Why are you here at this time?"
Qiuyu quickly replied:
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Jiang Wangmo has gone to see Song Chengjiao, the Prince of Mobei, and Jiang Shiwei. I suspect that his visit to the capital this time is likely due to their conspiracy."
After hearing this, Jin Linlin nodded thoughtfully. In her hand was the jade seal that Jiang Zhi had given her. The jade seal was crystal clear and looked very beautiful.
"Go inform the Queen! I am the Emperor now. No matter how senior he is, he can't cause any trouble here."
The emperor spoke with dignity, his voice revealing an unquestionable momentum.
"Also, release Erbao from prison and hand him over to his grandfather, Jiang Wangmo. Since he likes to meddle in other people's affairs, let him do it to the end!"
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she seemed to be very confident in this decision.
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
Qiuyu responded respectfully, then bowed and took his leave.
At the same time, at the post station where Song Chengjiao, the prince of Mobei, was staying, Jiang Wangmo arrived, exhausted. His face was slightly tired, but his eyes were sharp.
Jiang Wangmo's life had become quite comfortable since returning to his hometown. He spent his days hanging out with friends or fishing by the river. His days were relaxed and comfortable, and he gradually became plump and white.
The depressed and frustrated mentality I once had in Kyoto has now disappeared.
However, this time he received news from his daughter Jiang Shiwei that the second and third sons had been fooled by Jin Linlin, and that the third son was even in danger of being beheaded. This made him extremely anxious and he hurried to Cangwu City without caring about anything else.
Jiang Wangmo thought to himself that even though Jin Linlin had now ascended the throne, she was still his daughter-in-law in essence and should listen to his opinions.
In his deeply rooted concept, women should stay in the backyard and take care of their husbands and children, instead of showing up in public like men and taking on the important task of being an emperor.
Because of this, the purpose of his visit this time was to persuade Jiang Shiwei to abdicate the throne to her second son.
After all, letting a woman become emperor is outrageous enough, but to even enthrone a little girl as a princess is really inappropriate!
The throne should be inherited by Zhixu, and it would be best if he could have more sons.
Jiang Shiwei and Song Chengjiao sat in front of him. After they looked at each other, Jiang Shiwei spoke first:
"Dad, look at how powerful our second sister-in-law is now. Our second brother has become her queen! Some time ago, our second brother even pleaded for our third brother, hoping that he wouldn't be sentenced to death. He ended up being locked up for a year. Don't you think our second brother has any manliness left in him?"
When Jiang Wangmo heard this, his originally fair and plump face instantly darkened, turning as dark as the bottom of a pot. Meanwhile, Song Chengjiao, who was sitting beside him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, agreeing with a half-smile:
"Dad, you don't know this, Jin Linlin is a complete traitor! I wanted her to send troops to help my dad restore his country, but not only was she not happy about it, she actually threw me out of the court like a rag!"
Jiang Wangmo slammed the table in anger:
"She's rebelling! I want to see how long she can keep her arrogance. Tomorrow I will go to the palace and make her return the throne to Zhixu."
Jiang Shiwei and Song Chengjiao looked at each other, a hint of pride flashing in their eyes.
"Dad, the problem now is that my third brother and his wife will be executed tomorrow." Jiang Shiwei said anxiously.
Jiang Wangmo frowned slightly and was silent for a moment:
"Well, you come with me to the palace tomorrow. I want to see what she wants to do. Is she going to make my two sons quarrel with each other?"
The next morning, Jiang Wangmo and Jiang Shiwei arrived at the palace gate early. After the morning court session was over, they were allowed to enter the palace to see Jin Linlin.
Jin Linlin sat upright on the dragon throne, her bright yellow robe making her look incredibly majestic. She stared at Jiang Wangmo expressionlessly, but sneered inwardly.
When Jiang Wangmo saw Jin Linlin, he didn't bow, but walked straight up to her, glared at her, and started to accuse her:
"You witch, you bewitched my second son, and now you want to kill my third son! What are you planning?"
Jin Linlin raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile:
"Father-in-law, you've probably forgotten who owns the world now, haven't you? Do you think you're still the Duke of Zhenguo and can dictate things as you please?"
Jiang Wangmo was so angry that he trembled all over when he heard this. His face flushed red and he was about to refute when he was interrupted by Jin Linlin:
"I have released Erbao and entrusted him to your care. You should take care of your own household affairs first."
Jiang Wangmo was stunned. He never expected that Jin Linlin would let Erbao out so easily.
