Chapter 290: No Room for Her
Chapter 290: No Room for Her
Jiang Yu and Yun Shuning paused. Jiang Yu smiled without any smile: "Third brother, isn't he the same?"
Jiang Chen's lips curled slightly, his eyes fell on Yun Shuning, and he said with a half-smile: "Sixth brother, you know, when the news that you and Miss Yun were granted marriage by our father came out, there were countless princes and nobles in Yanjing who were heartbroken. You must protect Miss Yun well, don't lose her one day and let her become someone else's wife."
Jiang Yu looked at him and said, "You don't need to worry about this, Third Brother. It's not a good habit for you to pry into other people's interests."
Yun Shuning frowned slightly and whispered, "Why do you say that?"
Jiang Yu squeezed her hand and didn't answer directly. He just said to Jiang Chen: "Nothing, just a piece of advice."
Then he lowered his eyes and smiled at her, "Let's go home."
Jiang Chen stared coldly at the two people's departing backs, his face a little pale, his expression complicated, and some strange emotions churning in his eyes.
Something inexplicably rushed to his throat, burning like fire, but he didn't know where the fire came from or how to vent it.
……
"Lord."
Chen Zhao knocked on the door and entered the study.
After Jiang Yu sent Yun Shuning back, he went straight back to his mansion and was writing something at the moment.
Hearing the voice, he paused and asked, "Any news?"
Chen Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, there is good news from Liuzhou. The riot has been partially quelled by Master Yunchang, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now continuing to conduct an in-depth investigation."
Jiang Yu nodded, motioning him to continue.
Chen Zhao said: "In addition, the letter sent back by His Royal Highness Prince Rong mentioned that a group of outsiders suddenly came to Liuzhou. They have been staying in many inns in Liuzhou for more than a month in the name of doing business. These people were already there before the prince left, but their actions were secretive and they were not discovered until now."
Jiang Yu pursed his lips tightly and asked, "Where do these outsiders come from?"
Chen Zhao shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a simple-minded person. He always wants to get rid of His Royal Highness Prince Rong and act alone. His Royal Highness Prince Rong said that he followed him closely under the pretext of 'reassuring the Crown Prince', which is why the Crown Prince cannot do anything for the time being."
Jiang Yu tapped the table with his fingers and spoke slowly: "Send a message to Jiang Che, asking him to pay more attention to the group of people of unknown origin, especially their movements. At the same time, continue to investigate the cause of death of those who died suddenly to see if it was all due to the poison. Once you find anything, report it to me immediately."
Chen Zhao bowed and accepted the order, then turned and retreated.
At that time, in the palace.
The queen sat in Fengyi Palace, the scroll in her hand fell heavily to the ground, and finally, still not satisfied, she stretched out her hand and swept the white porcelain teacup in front of her: "Yun Shuning, that bitch, why, why did she have to marry Prince Rui, so that Hong'er's position will be even more precarious!"
"And that Prince Rui is just the same as his vixen mother. On the surface, they pretend not to fight or compete, but in fact, they are secretly trying to win over the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to fight for power! This group of damn ants, they all deserve to die!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down! Take care of yourself!"
Mei'er knelt on the ground, lowered her head and tried to persuade carefully, but her body moved back involuntarily, for fear that she would become the target of anger if she was not careful.
The queen took a deep breath, and after a while she suppressed her anger. She said, "However, the engagement is settled, but there is still some time before the wedding. As long as one of them dies, the engagement will naturally be invalid."
Mei Er shuddered, raised her eyes and asked, "What is your Majesty going to do?"
The queen sneered: "Don't worry for now, there is another person who can't tolerate her even more than this palace."
Concubine An leaned against the dressing table, her brows furrowed on her pale face, and her expression revealed an indescribable fatigue and haggardness.
Some time ago, she was disturbed by the relics that inexplicably appeared in her palace. She had nightmares every night and even fell seriously ill.
Before his illness got better, he heard the news that Emperor Jingsheng had granted a marriage for Yun Shuning and Jiang Yu, and he almost died of anger on his sickbed.
"My lady, let me comb your hair for you."
A young palace maid spoke softly, holding a jade comb and carefully combing her hair.
Concubine An closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
However, the next moment, she felt a sharp pain on her scalp, causing her to open her eyes suddenly.
"what!"
The little palace maid was distracted for a moment, her hands shook, and she actually pulled out a few strands of hair.
Her face turned pale instantly, and she fell to her knees and began to slap herself in the face and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me!"
Concubine An was already angry, and now she was even more furious.
She kicked the maid fiercely in the chest. The maid cried out in pain and fell to the ground, clutching her chest in agony. Even so, she still endured the severe pain and got up from the ground, knocking her head loudly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, I really didn't mean it."
"Waste!" Concubine An shouted angrily, with a fierce and cold light flashing in her eyes.
Yun Que heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing this scene, he immediately ordered people to drag the little palace maid away and said coldly, "Take her away and deal with her according to the old rules. Don't let the queen see her again."
She turned around and went forward to comfort Concubine An, saying softly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Why bother with a servant like that? You haven't recovered yet, so don't get angry again."
Concubine An's face turned pale and she was upset: "I feel so upset."
She touched her chest and took a few breaths. After a while, she glanced at Yun Que and said, "Forget it, what has Chen Er been doing recently?"
Yun Que replied, "Your Majesty, because the Crown Prince has left the capital, the Emperor has ordered His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Prince Rui to handle state affairs together and share His Majesty's worries."
Concubine An sneered and said, "The emperor is always so partial. He actually let Jiang Yu, a guilty man, sit on the same level as my son Chen."
Yun Que lowered her eyes and agreed. Suddenly she remembered something and took out a letter from her sleeve and presented it to her, saying, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Chen came a few days ago and left a letter for you. He specifically asked me to wait until you are well before showing it to you."
Concubine An took the letter, opened it and read it carefully. The anger on her face gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an extremely refreshing and happy smile. Even the tired and sick look on her face disappeared.
She took out a brocade bag, handed it to Yunque and said, "Give this to Chen'er and tell him that he will definitely need it."
Yun Que took the brocade bag respectfully and said softly, "Don't worry, Madam. I will do it right away."
Concubine An coughed lightly a few times, her eyes turned to the dim moonlight outside the window, and the corners of her lips curled up faintly.
