Chapter 336 Will You Fight Me to the Death?
Soon, lanterns were lit at the rear, illuminating the surroundings.
The candles in Qixia Palace were also lit one after another, and the entire palace was dazzlingly bright.
Jiang Xiru fell to the ground with a pale face. She curled up in the corner, hugging herself, not daring to look up.
Not only Eunuch Hai was there, but also Qin Huaizhao and the other ladies of the clan were there, all looking her up and down.
That look of contempt was not concealed at all.
Qin Wenli's expression was solemn. "This matter concerns my brother's reputation, so the decision must be made by the emperor. I'd like to trouble Eunuch Hai to report this to the emperor."
"It's natural."
Eunuch Hai immediately went to report to the emperor.
Jiang Ningwan looked at Jiang Xiru's thin clothes and ordered the maid, "Give her a coat."
"Yes."
a moment ago.
When she saw Qin Wenli leaving Taiming Palace, she immediately chased after him.
When he learned that Qin Wenli was going to keep an appointment with Shen Lanyi, he felt something was wrong. Seeing that Qin Wenli looked drunk, he took his pulse.
Give him the antidote.
Then she gathered these people together on the pretext of going to Qixia Palace to see the Epiphyllum, asked Eunuch Hai to lead the way, and came here with Qin Wenli.
It was just that Qin Wenli entered the room first, and everyone else came soon after.
Everyone heard and saw everything that happened.
I thought that just like in my previous life, it was a palace maid who plotted against Qin Wenli, but I didn't expect it to be Jiang Xiru.
I don’t know if it was Qin Chengqian’s order. If so, then this person is really cruel.
It is also unheard of for one's wife to seduce one's brother.
Soon, the emperor, the empress and Qin Chengqian arrived.
The Qixia Palace suddenly became lively.
Everyone saluted.
As soon as the emperor sat down, he looked at Jiang Xiru sharply, "What are you doing here tonight?"
"That's ridiculous!"
Jiang Xiru was so ashamed that she sobbed quietly and dared not say a word.
The Queen's face turned pale. "How long have you been married to Cheng Qian? How dare you do such a ridiculous thing!"
"Where do you put Cheng Qian's face? Where do you put the royal family's face?"
There are so many people here today, I'm so embarrassed!
Qin Chengqian sank to his knees with a plop. "Father, Mother, it was I who arranged to meet Xiru here. Perhaps she mistook my third brother for me. It was a misunderstanding."
Although everyone knows whether this is a misunderstanding, the current situation can only be described as a misunderstanding.
Otherwise, how ugly would it be if it got out?
"Even if it's a misunderstanding, she must be punished! Jiang Xiru should go back and copy the Women's Commandments a hundred times!"
"Your own chambers are not small enough. If you have anything to say, just go back and talk to each other. Don't make appointments in a place like this for no apparent reason!"
After the emperor angrily scolded him, he left in anger.
Qin Chengqian's heart sank. He stood up and helped Jiang Xiru up, "Let's go back first."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Jiang Xiru buried her head and cried like rain.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect Jiang Xiru to come with Qin Wenli. My plan has failed..."
Qin Chengqian clenched his fists with an ugly expression, "Stop talking!"
"The only chance was ruined!"
They are getting married tomorrow, so there is no point in saying anything.
Hearing the blame in Qin Chengqian's tone, Jiang Xiru bit her lower lip and began to worry about her future.
It’s just that she didn’t live long in her previous life, and no one knows who became the emperor in the end.
Now I can't help but wonder whether Qin Chengqian is the one who will inherit the throne.
Can his position as crown prince be restored?
Does she really want to bet her whole life on Qin Chengqian?
……
In the Imperial Garden.
Everyone dispersed one after another, discussing what happened tonight.
Jiang Ningwan and Qin Wenli walked at the back, and gradually there was no one around.
"Thanks to you Ning Wan, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
If Jiang Xiru succeeded, not only would his reputation be ruined, but his marriage to the princess would also be in jeopardy.
"The eldest prince is now a bit desperate. The more glorious you are, the more he hates you."
"You should be careful, especially with food!" Jiang Ningwan said, taking out a medicine bottle and giving it to him.
"This is an antidote pill. It can cure common poisons, and even some poisons that cannot be cured can be suppressed."
Qin Wenli accepted the medicine bottle and said, "Then I'll take it. Thank you!"
"Why are you being so polite to me? I'm going back first!"
After separating from Qin Wenli, Jiang Ningwan left the palace alone. She didn't know where Qin Shuangchi was. Now that they had fallen out, it was not easy for her to go look for him openly.
Not long after walking, he suddenly ran into Qin Beihuang on the road.
Jiang Ningwan pretended not to see it and walked straight past him.
Qin Beihuang stopped her and asked her a confusing question: "If something really happened to the Third Prince tonight, and if I stopped you from seeing him, would you fight me to the death?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan frowned in confusion.
"Are you okay? What are you talking about?"
Qin Beihuang clenched his palms, "Suppose! Suppose this is the case, what would you do?"
Jiang Ningwan scoffed, "Is there any point in asking this? The Third Prince is my family. If anything happens to him, I'll kill anyone who tries to stop me!"
After saying that, she left.
I don’t understand why Qin Beihuang asked this?
What if something really happened?
Why would he imagine such a question?
Can't figure it out.
But in her previous life, when her cousin got into trouble, she seemed very sad and angry. At that time...
Jiang Ningwan racked her brains to think about it, but found that she could not remember it clearly.
She found that after being reborn for so long, many memories of her past life had become blurred. Now she only vaguely remembered some important events, but she didn't know how long she could remember them.
Qin Beihuang stood there in a daze, staring at Jiang Ningwan's departing back, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Something happened to the third prince, and he recalled some scenes.
It was also in Prince Yi's Mansion that they had a fierce quarrel.
"The Third Prince has caused such a scandal. What good will your presence accomplish? It will only anger His Majesty and implicate me! As my wife, your every word and action will represent me! As the mistress, how can you disregard the safety of your entire family?"
"But Qin Wenli is my cousin! Don't I even have the qualifications to visit him? Qin Beihuang, please don't go too far!" She was so angry that her eyes turned red and she tried hard to hold back her tears.
But he just replied indifferently: "No!"
She did not have the right to enter and leave the palace freely, and wanted him to help bring her into the palace, but he refused.
Even the letter she asked someone to deliver to Concubine Rong was stopped and torn up by him.
Thinking of this again, Qin Beihuang felt a tightness in his chest.
Is he really such a ruthless and cruel person?
……
The emperor's bedroom.
The lights are still on.
The queen slowly undressed the emperor, served him calming tea, and knelt on the bed behind him to massage his acupoints.
"Cheng Qian's matter has caused His Majesty a headache. I will discipline him well."
The Emperor closed his eyes and sighed, "Jiang Xiru was the one he insisted on marrying in the first place, but now he despises her and has caused such a thing. How will Duke Jiang view him?"
"It's really becoming increasingly unstable."
Hearing this, the Queen panicked and explained, "He was just too scared. He was afraid of disappointing His Majesty's expectations of him."
After a long silence, the emperor slowly spoke: "I promised you, and I will not regret it."
