With a stubborn look on his face, he continued, "Grandmother, please tell me how to choose. There are no outsiders here, let alone spies from the emperor. Just tell me the truth."
The old lady shook her head and said seriously, "That kind of thing will never happen. The Jiang family risked their lives for His Majesty. How could they be treated like this?"
"You must be having a nightmare, go back and have a good sleep..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Sheng disappeared right in front of her. Seeing this, the old lady's pupils shrank and she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Jiang Sheng soon reappeared, smiling, but the sadness in his eyes was about to overflow: "Grandma, are you willing to believe me now? Your grandson really needs you."
"If you are unwilling, the Jiang family will really follow the path of the previous life. The entire clan will be wiped out and die tragically, and Dagan will also be destroyed."
He slowly told the story of the Jiang family's experiences in their previous life, hiding the things in the space. When the old lady heard him mention the late emperor's will, she completely believed it in her heart.
He stared blankly, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
The old lady had experienced the battle for the throne in Kowloon, when the capital was a river of blood. The eldest princess quickly adjusted her mood and said in a deep voice, "Have you told anyone about this?"
Jiang Sheng shook his head and looked at her secretly. Seeing her expression, he knew that she believed him and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He said frankly: "No, after waking up, I have been thinking about whether to tell my grandmother. I am worried that she will stand on the side of the royal family..."
The old lady sighed and said softly, "I don't blame you. If I were you, Grandma would also be worried. If we lose, it will mean the lives of the entire family."
"But this matter is of great importance. Please give Grandmother some time. If what you said comes true, Grandmother will begin preparations to protect the General's Mansion."
Jiang Sheng lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice: "My grandson can wait, but my father and brother can't. Grandmother has already lost six sons. Are we going to watch the last one die too?"
"According to the time in my previous life, my father and brothers will die within a month. The news will be transmitted back in mid-April. By then, the emperor's butcher knife will be directly aimed at the rest of the Jiang family."
"If you don't believe me, Grandmother, you can go to the third floor of the study. There's evidence of the false accusation arranged by His Majesty."
Jiang Sheng stood up and said, "Grandma, I still have a headache, so I'll leave first."
When the old lady saw him leave, she sat on the palm-leaf fan for a long time without moving.
The nanny pushed the door open and came in. Seeing the expression on her master's face, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.
When the prince passed away, the master also showed this expression, but since then, no matter how big the incident was, the master always remained calm and never changed his expression.
"Master, is it because the young master is too naughty that he has angered you?"
The old lady regained her composure and adjusted her mood: "Nothing, I just want to find a scripture to read. Please help me go to the study."
Qiuxiang didn't think much about it and reached out to support her.
Along the way, he softly comforted her, "Master, don't worry. The young master is naughty now because he is young. After the coming-of-age ceremony, if we get married soon, he will gradually become sensible."
“…Perhaps.”
Qiuxiang took a look and saw that her master was worried and absent-minded, so she tactfully shut up and said no more.
The old lady pushed open the study door and said calmly, "You go and guard outside the door. I want to sit here and watch. Oh, and don't let anyone disturb me."
"Yes, Master."
After closing the door, the old lady thought of Jiang Sheng's words, walked towards a bookshelf, and slowly searched through it. Soon a letter fell out.
He opened the letter and read the words on it. It was as if there was fire burning in his eyes. He unconsciously clenched the letter in his hand and murmured, "Father, you really chose a tyrant."
For the sake of the Li family's kingdom, she has lost her husband and six sons, and has been enduring the pain of separation from her family for half her life. These are what she should bear as a princess.
But the prerequisite is that she died at the hands of the enemy. If her own people also harmed her in this way, then why would she still protect the Li family's empire, which had long been rotten.
She asked herself that she had never done anything wrong to the emperor over the years, but when she thought about how the emperor treated the Jiang family, her heart completely sank into an ice hole.
The old lady put her hand on her heart. When she thought of the child's desperate narration of the tragedy of the Jiang family, she felt so painful that she couldn't breathe.
Why, why do you treat her and the Jiang family like this!
Since the emperor wants to break the original agreement, let's just wait and see. How can a person without morals, incompetence and cruelty become the ruler of a country?
The next day when paying respects, the old lady kept Jiang Sheng.
She handed him a token, and her originally kind eyes became extremely sharp, revealing the demeanor of a royal princess.
"Xiao San, this is a group of death warriors that my grandmother secretly trained to help my prince seize the throne. There are more than a hundred of them, and each one can fight a hundred people."
"From now on, I'll leave it to you. Put on a show for the Emperor as soon as possible. That way, you'll have an excuse to take the token and run away from home to rescue your father and brother on the battlefield..."
Jiang Sheng raised his head and looked at her, his eyes full of emotion. His grandmother could do this because she was ready to stand against the emperor. This battle could only be won and not lost.
If she loses, my grandmother will bear the infamy for the rest of her life and will not have a good end.
He gripped the token tightly in his hand, his eyes shining frighteningly, and said solemnly: "Grandmother, don't worry, my father and brother will definitely return victorious."
The old lady nodded and said calmly, "If Liu Lang and the others return, the emperor will certainly force them to hand over their military power. We need to be prepared in advance."
"The military power must be handed over, but private preparations must also be made. They cannot be made public now. Therefore, you cannot explain your rebirth to anyone except Grandmother."
"The same goes for your father and brother. Your father is too old-fashioned and would definitely not believe what you say. But it's different for grandma. She's lived for so many years and has seen through a lot of things."
Jiang Sheng naturally understood what this matter meant. Once the emperor knew about it, he might even melt him to make elixirs.
That tyrant emperor had already gone mad in pursuit of immortality. Once he knew that he was reborn, he would do anything. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
"Yes, grandson knows."
The old lady waved her hand, a little tiredly: "Go back, you should have a good rest and recuperate. Tomorrow, put on the special clothes and we will perform a play together."
Jiang Sheng bowed his head respectfully and slowly walked out.
After returning to the room and closing the door, he entered the space with a thought and went into the bamboo house to continue his research. On the bookshelf were various rare books, especially those on military strategies and weapon forging, which were what he needed most now.
He also tried those two plots of land. The white land was used for storage and preservation, while the black land was used for planting, which grew very fast.
I sowed the seeds yesterday, and today they are already green and growing very well.
Jiang Sheng was immersed in books and had no idea that a few of his friends had come to his house and were waiting for him in the yard.
There was a knock on the door, interrupting Jiang Sheng's thoughts.
After putting the book away, he immediately came out, opened the door and looked at the servant: "What's wrong, Xiaozhu? Is there something wrong?"
