Prime Minister Jiang's death caused a huge stir in the capital. For a while, there were constant criticisms and rumors.
It is ironic that a generation of powerful ministers have become the talk of the town.
Everyone thought that the emperor would issue an order to investigate the matter thoroughly. However, after the anger in the court, the emperor's attitude seemed to be loud and light, and he did not seem to think that there was anything suspicious about this matter.
The Jiang family fell into misery.
Mrs. Qin was so heartbroken that she went to Dali Temple, appealed to the Ministry of Punishment, and mobilized all the people who could mobilize to cry out for her husband. She even tried to beat the drum, but to no avail.
Prime Minister Jiang was suspended from office before his sudden death. No one is sure whether his sudden death was caused by the emperor's instructions, let alone how much information the emperor had on Prime Minister Jiang.
At this time, no one dared to take the risk of being implicated to seek justice for a deceased person. After the emperor's decree was issued, the Jiang family must leave the capital within two days and are not allowed to stay.
Therefore, how Prime Minister Jiang died was no longer important, and no one dared to ask.
Even where the "boy" who indirectly killed Prime Minister Jiang came from, there is no way to know for the time being, because the Ministry of Punishment is responsible for thorough investigation, and others dare not venture into the muddy waters of the Jiang family.
In the Prince's Mansion, Rong Chen and Jiang Ying did not know yet that something had happened to the Jiang family.
After listening to what Aunt Yu said last night, Jiang Ying had breakfast this morning, then cheered up and walked around in the garden for a while. Aunt Yu said that there is hope when people are alive, and she felt that this sentence was quite right.
Even though she and Rong Chen had turned against each other, if she could live well for a day, why would she seek death? Moreover, even if there is a chance to make a comeback, the most Rong Chen can do is to restore the kingship. Can he really hope to sit on the throne of God?
Jiang Ying looked at the garden in front of her, with a touch of sadness in her heart.
After they were demoted to common people, most of the servants in the palace were dismissed, and the remaining people were mostly flattered and disdained. In the first few days, they could still work hard, but later they became lazy when they could, and their attitude towards them began to change. It's not hot or cold.
Coupled with the lack of manpower, the garden has long been neglected and overgrown with weeds from a distance. When autumn comes, most of the flowers have withered, and there is no scenery to enjoy.
Every plant and tree shows the desolation and depression after losing power.
"Princess, it's not good!" A maid hurried over, her tone anxious and uneasy, "It's not good! Something big has happened!"
Jiang Ying turned around and saw Li'er, whom she had sent to serve Rong Chen, coming in a panic, her face full of anxiety. Jiang Ying suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart: "What's wrong?"
Li'er came closer, knelt down and saluted: "Princess, Prime Minister... Prime Minister, he..."
Jiang Ying's expression changed drastically, and she suddenly grabbed her shoulders: "What's wrong with father?"
Li'er gritted her teeth: "Master Prime Minister, he... died suddenly."
Jiang Ying's vision went dark, and she fell over without warning.
"Princess! Princess!" The maid hurriedly supported her and shouted urgently, "Someone comes quickly! Someone comes quickly!"
Rong Chen heard the commotion and rushed over. He saw Li'er and another maid supporting Jiang Ying anxiously. He stepped forward and asked urgently: "What's going on?"
"My lord, the princess has fainted."
Rong Chen didn't have time to think too much, he bent down and picked up Jiang Ying, and hurried to the Princess' Courtyard.
Li'er trotted to keep up.
What Rong Chen didn't see was that after running all the way, bright red blood droplets spread along the hem of her skirt. It wasn't until she stepped into the door that Li'er cried and said: "Princess...Princess is bleeding..."
Rong Chen froze and quickly turned his head to look.
The hem of Jiang Ying's skirt was stained with blood, and the path from the door to the house was also stained with blood, which was shocking.
He put Jiang Ying on the bed, turned around and shouted: "Come here! Get the imperial doctor quickly! Go to the palace and report to the emperor that the princess is pregnant. Please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look. She is pregnant with the emperor's heir. She is the emperor's heir." ! Come on, come on, come on—"
Rong Chen turned his head and saw the two maids, and the unfinished words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
The two maids were kneeling on the ground, their faces pale, their heads lowered and they dared not speak.
He suddenly realized something.
With his current status as a commoner, how could he be qualified to hire an imperial doctor? Even if you want to report to the emperor, you have to let the servants get out.
Rong Chen looked at Jiang Ying who fell into a coma, followed by a deep sense of despair and resentment towards God.
Why?
Why did it give him hope and then instantly plunge him into despair?
"Why?" He suddenly pinched Jiang Ying's neck and shook her viciously, "You bitch! Why? Why didn't you protect yourself when you were pregnant? Give me back my son! Give me back my son! Bitch! Don't do it anymore Pretend to be asleep and wake up quickly!"
Snapped!
Rong Chen slapped her hard on the face and shook her like crazy: "Wake up, wake up and give me back my son! Give me back my son!"
The two maids kneeling on the ground turned pale with fright. They looked at each other and suddenly got up and ran out.
The prince is crazy, he is crazy.
Rong Chen is indeed crazy.
They were so crazy that they wanted Jiang Ying to die immediately and bury their son with her.
He didn't know how many times he slapped Jiang Ying until his palms were so sore that he stopped. He stared at Jiang Ying's swollen cheeks resentfully and coldly, then turned around and walked out without looking back, leaving her to fend for herself.
…
Jiang Ying had a dream.
The dream was a palace banquet. During the palace banquet, Rong Cang suddenly went crazy and assassinated the emperor. Suddenly, the palace was in chaos. The ministers were shocked and shouted: "Help! Help!"
In desperation, Rong Chen threw himself in front of the emperor and was stabbed on the shoulder. In order to protect him, he dragged Yang Dexi, the eunuch closest to the emperor, and urgently ordered him to protect the emperor. Then he shouted outside the palace: "Somebody come!"
A large number of imperial guards broke in and quickly restrained Rong Cang.
The chaotic scene scared all the civil and military officials out of their wits, and no one noticed that a dagger pierced Yang Dexi's heart.
The emperor was so frightened that he fainted.
The chaotic palace change caught people off guard and caused severe panic. In the chaos, Jiang Ying saw Concubine Gu hurriedly dressed up. She looked at Rong Chen with a knowing look in her eyes, and a hint of victory in the corner of her mouth. smile.
The emperor fell ill, and Concubine Gu took care of him.
After waking up, the emperor summoned all civil and military officials and declared King Chen to be the crown prince and supervise the regent of the country.
Jiang Ying became the crown princess as she wished. Within ten days, the emperor suddenly died and the crown prince ascended the throne. It was natural that she, the crown princess, was named queen.
The mother is honored by the world and is honored and favored by countless people.
Outside the solemn hall, the ceremony for the new emperor's enthronement was grand and grand. All civil and military officials knelt down and kowtowed, paying homage again and again: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Queen! Thousands of years live the Queen!"
Concubine Gu became the Queen Mother, graceful, noble and bright.
The entire Chu State is in their hands.
Jiang Ying was immersed in a sweet dream and didn't want to wake up. She didn't want to face the situation of being down and out, she didn't want to face the consequences of her father's sudden death, and she didn't want to bear the pain of despair just after becoming pregnant.
She just wanted to fall into this dream and never wake up.
