They also said that she had ignored the family that was found for her to be her wife and had willingly degraded herself to become a concubine, so she should bear the consequences.
From that moment on, she hated her third brother and Cao Jiao to the core. When she died, her third brother was a cabinet minister and the new emperor held him in high esteem. They had children and grandchildren around them, enjoying the happiness of family life, but she died in depression and resentment.
Jiang Shiwei clenched her palms tightly until blood dripped from them, but she was completely unaware. Her eyes were as red as blood, and she secretly swore in her heart that in this life, she would make sure that they had no place to stand in Kyoto.
She said to the maid in the yard in a voice as cold as ice: "Go and give this letter to the Fourth Prince as soon as possible." After that, she threw the letter in her hand to Luqiao. This maid was given to her by the Fourth Prince. It is said that she knows martial arts and can protect her and deliver letters to them.
The Fourth Prince's Mansion
The Fourth Prince's mansion is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, which is breathtaking.
The Fourth Prince sat in his study, his brow furrowed, as if enveloped by an invisible pressure, pondering the situation in the court.
At that moment, Lu Qiao arrived like a gust of wind, presenting Jiang Shiwei's letter. The Fourth Prince eagerly opened it, his eyes like a deep pond, gradually rippled. The letter not only mentioned the names of several top scorers in the imperial examination, but also implicitly expressed dissatisfaction with the Third House.
The Fourth Prince stroked his chin gently, his heart filled with the feeling of a thousand troops galloping through his chest. He knew very well that Jiang Shiwei was a scheming woman, and if he could use her to his advantage, she would be a powerful force in the battle for the throne.
"Go back and tell Miss Jiang to rest assured. I will make all the arrangements." The Fourth Prince said to Lu Qiao. Lu Qiao obeyed the order and floated away.
The Fourth Prince rubbed his slightly aching head and looked at the tall figure standing by the window of the inner room with a sharp gaze.
That figure was like a bamboo in the wind, lonely and resilient. He walked silently behind him, as if afraid of waking him from a beautiful dream, and reached out to gently hug his waist.
"This is the last time I'll come to your place. Let's stop here and don't get deeper into trouble." The man's voice was low and hoarse, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
The Fourth Prince's eyes froze as if struck by lightning. He stretched out his hand and spun the man around like a gust of wind, staring into his eyes. His gaze was like a burning flame, fiery and resolute.
"I don't. I like you, so much so that I can give up everything. Please don't push me away. When I ascend to the supreme throne, we can be together legitimately. But if you give up first, what's the point of me fighting for the throne?"
The man was surprisingly the Third Prince. His heart was torn, but he steeled his resolve and slapped the hand that was holding him away. Like a wounded beast, he was resolute and cold:
"A Zhao, I'm telling you, let's leave it at that. I won't bother with you anymore. Everything ends here." The third prince turned and left.
The Fourth Prince was about to chase after him when the butler appeared in front of him and told him that the Queen was looking for him and asked him to come into the palace immediately.
The Fourth Prince looked at the Third Prince's receding figure, his heart in turmoil, and said helplessly, "I understand."
