Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Chapter 378 You Still Understand Me

Having his secrets exposed, Ling Jinlan lowered his head, "He did it for me... I was the one who harmed him."

"He's young and promising, with a bright future. How can I ruin it?"

She is different. Her life can no longer go back to the way it was before.

Jiang Ningwan held her shoulders with a serious expression. "What about you? The embroidery pattern you gave me is already being made. It's been ordered by many fabric shops before it even starts selling. You will have a bright future too."

"Even if you confess now, you won't be able to clear Qin Huaizhao of suspicion. What if you can't save him and end up getting yourself into trouble?"

"Before Qin Huaizhao is convicted, everything can still turn around."

After listening to this, Ling Jinlan calmed down a little.

"Then is there any other way to save him?"

By this time everyone had come over.

Jiang Zhouye said: "With so many of us, we can always find a solution."

The King of Chu also nodded in agreement: "We will not ignore it."

Jiang Ningwan consoled him, "Qin Huaizhao is, after all, the Crown Prince of Rong. He and the Emperor had a good relationship before he ascended the throne. And the Emperor has been doing his duty well over the years. The Emperor won't execute Qin Huaizhao lightly for this reason!"

Qin Huaizhao was an official in Kyoto, and Prince Rong was content to do his duty.

But if Qin Huaizhao died, Prince Rong might not necessarily keep his position. Prince Rong also had tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals in his fiefdom, and the emperor would not easily anger Prince Rong.

Seeing that no one gave up, Ling Jinlan felt relieved. "Thank you everyone."

Jiang Ningwan patted her shoulder and said, "There's no need to thank each other."

Then they returned to the room to discuss countermeasures.

Jiang Ningwan said, "I've seen the sword Qin Huaizhao used. If we had detailed measurements, we could make a replica. If we only compare the wound size, we won't be able to sentence Qin Huaizhao to death."

Ling Jinlan's eyes lit up, "I know!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Jiang Ningwan was puzzled, "How do you know the exact dimensions?"

Ling Jinlan wanted to say something but stopped herself. She made a sword tassel for Qin Huaizhao. She had been paying attention to the sword he used and knew its size.

Ling Chaowen took over the conversation: "Jinlan has seen many weapons. She even made her own daggers. She can estimate the size of a good sword at a glance!"

Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect Ling Jinlan to have such ability.

Qin Shuangchi immediately said, "If you have the detailed dimensions, I can arrange for more than a dozen to be made within three days."

Jiang Zhouye continued, "That's enough! I have more than a dozen personal guards under my command, replace them all! It's enough to exonerate Qin Huaizhao!"

After everyone worked together to come up with a plan, they immediately took action.

They only need to buy three days for Qin Huaizhao.

Jiang Ningwan went to find Qin Wenli.

I saw him sitting alone by the pond drinking and feeling depressed.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Ning sat down in front of the table.

Qin Wenli took a sip of wine and said, "It's okay."

"Is it because of the princess?"

Qin Wenli was silent.

Jiang Ningwan had been in the palace for so long, but she had hardly ever seen Qin Wenli and Shen Lianyi appear at the same time.

She even rarely saw Shen Lianyi.

"I don't know how to go on. She keeps avoiding me, and I don't know what I did wrong. If there's anything that doesn't please her, I can change it."

Qin Wenli sounded melancholy and took another sip of wine.

Jiang Ningwan patted his shoulder and said, "Cousin, you should have heard about Dayan's situation. Xie Chenyuan's life or death is unknown. The princess may be worried about her brother."

Qin Wenli said helplessly: "I know, I know everything!"

"I said I would help her find it, but she said she didn't need it!"

"I also comforted her that everything would be fine. She said that my waist didn't hurt when I was standing and talking. What do you think I should do?"

"I can't interfere in Dayan's internal affairs. I know she feels bad, but she hides everything from me, and I feel bad too."

He knew that Xie Lianyi had a relationship with Jinghong Pavilion, but he still had no idea what the relationship was.

He wanted to share the burden with her, but she was unwilling and only wanted to push her away.

Jiang Ningwan didn't know how to comfort her.

Maybe just listen.

"Coming to the palace, I thought it would be cool here and that letting her relax might help. But in all the days I've been here, I've only seen her a handful of times, and we haven't even spoken more than ten words in total."

"I hide when I see her. I don't know what she thinks of me..."

As he spoke, Qin Wenli took another sip of wine in annoyance.

Suddenly he came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Ningwan, "You came to see me specially, what's the matter?"

Jiang Ningwan observed that there was no one around, so she walked forward and told him about Qin Huaizhao.

Want him to help.

After Qin Wenli heard this, he immediately put down the wine pot and said, "You should have said it earlier."

"I'm drunk now, so it's not appropriate for me to go see my father. So, I'll let my mother go."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "That's fine, as long as we can delay it for a few days."

……

In the emperor's bedroom, the singing and dancing continued.

The laughter of the dancers could be heard day and night, causing the ministers to advise against it.

But no one could persuade the emperor.

Even after the queen tried to persuade him, she was angrily driven out by the emperor.

As soon as the queen left, Concubine Rong arrived.

In the room, Xiang Sui was playing the piano. She was wearing an apricot-colored dress that was particularly plain. The sound of the piano was gentle and melodious, like a gurgling stream, clear and pleasant to the ear.

The emperor closed his eyes and savored it carefully.

The dancer presented by the Fourth Prince really surprised him. Not only could she dance many dances, but she could also play the piano exceptionally well.

At this moment, Concubine Rong put down the soup bowl.

Hearing the voice, the emperor opened his eyes and saw Concubine Rong coming, which immediately spoiled the mood.

"What? Are you here to advise me too?" The emperor sounded a little impatient.

Concubine Rong smiled gently and handed over the ginseng soup. "I am here to give the emperor some ginseng soup. I made it myself. It is nourishing and nourishing."

Hearing this, the emperor was a little surprised.

He glanced down, picked up the ginseng soup and took a sip, then softened his tone, "You're so thoughtful, please sit down."

Imperial Concubine Rong sat down, looked at Xiang Sui, and exclaimed in admiration, "This Xiang Sui is a rare beauty. No wonder the Emperor likes her so much."

The emperor smiled with satisfaction, "You really understand me! The queen has been with me for so many years and has tried so hard to persuade me not to indulge in wine and women, but she doesn't understand what I am pursuing at all."

As he spoke, the emperor looked at Xiang Sui with obsessed eyes.

Xiang Sui also raised her eyes and smiled back, her eyes extremely seductive.

Concubine Rong smiled and said, "The Queen must be worried about the Emperor's health."

"However, I feel that this visit to the palace is for rest and enjoyment. Your Majesty is so busy that it's rare for him to find time to rest, and it's not often that he does. I should enjoy myself."

The emperor was very pleased with these words. He took Concubine Rong's hand and patted it, "My beloved concubine understands me!"

"I wish they could be like you and not bother me."

Concubine Rong took the opportunity to ask, "Is it because of Zhou Yu's death?"

"I heard that Zhou Yu's black dogs frightened people so much that Concubine Yu hasn't recovered yet. Commander Zhou is still making a big fuss about catching the murderer, and the noise is making Concubine Yu unable to rest."

"They also arrested Qin Huaizhao, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. Isn't that the Crown Prince of Rong? Commander Zhou is causing such unrest in the palace. That's outrageous."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded thoughtfully, "I know about this matter. Even though Qin Huaizhao was arrested, there is no solid evidence, and it is not appropriate to interrogate him in the palace."

"I will give the order and investigate this matter again after returning to the capital."

"And those dogs are man-eating. They need to be killed soon to avoid further trouble."
