Seemingly knowing that Yu Zheng would come to visit, the clan members were not surprised. They respectfully welcomed Yu Zheng into the house and treated him with caution.
Yu Zheng visited the three children one by one and asked them all. The words they got were almost the same, so it can be concluded that the three children did not lie.
After returning to the palace, Jiang Shu immediately asked him: "What did they say?"
Yu Zheng sat down next to her and said with a serious expression: "They all said that Haoyan asked them to play together last night. Several people took turns chasing each other, and no one gave instructions."
"Is it really just an accident?" Jiang Shu frowned.
Yu Zheng pursed his lips: "Not necessarily. I asked carefully, and they said that the rest of the Imperial Garden was pitch dark, and there were palace guards at the intersections making it difficult to play around, so they all ran to the open space in the garden."
When Jiang Shu heard this, he immediately understood: "You mean, those palace people have a problem, and someone is deliberately forcing them."
Yu Zheng said: "I will go to the palace to interrogate you tomorrow morning."
Even so, both of them knew in their hearts that they might not be able to ask anything.
The key to this matter lies with Yu Haolin and Yu Haoyan.
However, the relationship between Yu Cheng and Yu Zheng is delicate, and the slightest carelessness will cause turmoil in the DPRK. Moreover, since Yu Haolin was young, what he said could not be used as evidence. As for Yu Haoyan, if he was really being instigated, he would definitely not be able to find out anything.
When the two of them were thinking deeply, Mo Guanshi came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess, and His Highness the Crown Prince have personally sent me a gift of apology."
Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu frowned at the same time when they heard this.
There was nothing wrong with Yu Cheng's apology gift, but if they accepted it and continued to dwell on it, they would be narrow-minded.
This apology was really a hot potato, but it had to be accepted.
Sighing secretly, Jiang Shu said: "Register it to the warehouse and store it separately."
"Yes." Seeing that Yu Zheng had no objection, Manager Mo agreed and went.
Yu Zhengjun's face was solemn, he looked at Jiang Shu and said apologetically: "I have made you wronged, I will definitely investigate this matter."
If you can't check it openly, then check it covertly. As long as he finds the evidence, he will pursue it to the end even if he falls out!
He has no intention of starting a fight, but he will never swallow his anger.
Jiang Shu understood that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and that the person she really had to deal with was not her, but Yu Zheng.
But as husband and wife, they will have to face all the overt and covert struggles in the future together.
"No grievance."
Jiang Shu held Yu Zheng's hand and said: "Ordinary people will also face many hardships in their daily lives. Where there are people, there will be disputes about right and wrong, and they are inevitable everywhere."
"I will work hard to protect myself from now on, and you should also be more careful."
Although Yu Zheng has no intention of fighting for it, others won't think so. They may face more conspiracies in the future.
"Shu'er." Yu Zheng was moved when he heard this, and stretched out his arms to take Jiang Shu into his arms.
Outsiders said that Jiang Shu married him because he was a high-ranking person, but Yu Zheng never thought so.
The only difference between them is their status, but Jiang Shu's mind and resourcefulness are not inferior to any noble lady.
Identity can be transcended, but thought and resourcefulness cannot make up for it.
Yu Zheng firmly believes that Jiang Shu is the person who can best stand by him.
After lunch, Yu Zheng went to the study.
While he was immersed in processing paperwork, a letter came from Zhufeng.
"The person who sent the letter said that this letter is of great importance and must be signed by the master himself."
There was no signature on the letter, so Yu Zheng opened it with suspicion.
After reading what was written in the letter, Yu Zheng's eyes darkened.
"Where is the messenger?" Yu Zheng asked in a low voice.
Zhufeng said: "Let's go."
After hearing this, Yu Zheng stood up and returned to the main courtyard with the letter.
Jiang Shu was a little sleepy and was about to take a nap.
"Husband?" Jiang Shu was quite surprised to see Yu Zheng enter the room.
Yu Zheng waved away Chu Yu and others and handed her the letter in his sleeve.
Jiang Shu took it doubtfully and read it carefully.
"Is this... credible?" Jiang Shu was shocked after reading the letter.
The first half of the letter contains what Yu Haolin said. The second half invites Yu Zheng to cooperate and conspire.
Subverting the Cao family is no child's play.
More importantly, the letter was signed by Prime Minister Xie.
This letter was written by Prime Minister Xie himself.
It's sincerity, or it may be a trap.
"It should be trustworthy." Yu Zheng took the letter, folded it and put it away.
This letter is very important and should be kept alive.
The shock of this letter was so great that Jiang Shu lost all sleep. His mind was clear and he was thinking rapidly.
"My husband showed me this letter, are you planning to conspire with Xie Xiang?"
If you just want to tell her the truth about what happened last night, just tell her.
But Yu Zheng showed the letter to her because he wanted to discuss it with her.
Yu Zheng said seriously: "This matter is important. It involves your family and life. You must be informed and agreed."
Although Jiang Shu was born as a merchant and had never been exposed to court fighting, he still knew how powerful it was.
If defeated and Yu Zheng loses power, even if he saves his life, he will definitely be unable to move forward.
This matter is indeed important and requires caution.
Jiang Shu thought for a long time and said in a deep voice: "I have never met Mr. Xie, so I don't know who he is. Does your husband think he is trustworthy? Is he sincerely cooperating or is he a trap?"
Yu Zheng did not answer directly, but told Jiang Shu about the entangled relationship between the Xie family and the Cao family, as well as the past between Concubine Yu and the Queen.
This is not only a battle between palaces and houses, but also a matter of imperial power.
Jiang Shu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said seriously: "So it is impossible for the Xie family and the Cao family to coexist peacefully. And it is impossible for us and the Cao family to live in peace."
Yu Zheng nodded.
"But what if this is a trap..." Jiang Shu was surprised and unsure.
Although the Xie family and the Cao family are incompatible, they are both on Yu Cheng's side after all.
It is true that the Xie family wants to cooperate to deal with the Cao family now, but they are afraid that in the end, they will wait for an opportunity to bite Yu Zheng back, killing two birds with one stone.
Understanding Jiang Shu's worries, Yu Zheng sighed: "Your husband is not that useless."
Jiang Shu said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant, I was just afraid of what might happen."
Staring at Yu Zheng with apricot eyes, Jiang Shu said solemnly: "I know that your husband is very powerful, but you only have yourself and no mother family to rely on, so I can't help you. Even if there are support from Zhou Taifu Zhou Boxu and others in the court, It’s not as deep and powerful as the Cao family.”
Yu Zheng said: "Now that I know the details of the Xie family, I will have some reservations."
At the end, he looked at Jiang Su and said softly: "You are my biggest supporter when you stand by my side. I will be extra cautious when thinking about you and my child."
After hearing this, Jiang Shu approached Yu Zheng's arms, listened to Yu Zheng's clear and powerful heartbeat and said, "Then go ahead and do it, husband. I believe you."
"Are you scary?" Yu Zheng hugged her and asked.
Jiang Shu said: "Don't be afraid."
"I thought about it when I decided to marry you. You will have no control over your status and situation, and you will have the power to fight... The world is inherently unpredictable, and fear of escaping cannot solve the problem. You can only face it calmly."
No one in this world can choose their origin, and the same goes for Yu Zheng.
Since he was born in the royal family and was involved in the whirlpool of fighting, he could only fight hard and find a way out.
After many experiences, Jiang Shu is no longer an innocent girl.
Whether she was the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, she almost jumped off a cliff to her death when faced with retaliation. She was still the daughter of the Jiang family after the divorce, but she narrowly escaped death after being bribed by her relatives to assassinate her.
These experiences made Jiang Shu understand that as long as people are alive, they will always encounter various dangers.
Now it's just a different identity, nothing to fear.
