Chapter 207 Human Heart
Chapter 207 Human Heart
At this time in Concubine Jiang's palace, Prince Yu was having a fierce argument with Concubine Jiang.
"Jingmin is just a child who has not experienced much of the world. She did that at the instruction of the Royal Grandmother. Do you and the Royal Grandmother have to watch Jingmin being punished by the Royal Father?"
Concubine Jiang had a gloomy face. After hearing Prince Yu's accusation, she just said coldly: "Who can be blamed for this? It's her own stupidity!
She has done so many shameful things for Xie Ran, and this time she acted on her own without even consulting me.
Not only are you stupid, but you are also so bold that you dared to drug your father. Do you know what crime this is?"
If she were charged with the crime of murdering His Majesty, not only Princess Jingmin, but even she, the Imperial Concubine, would not be able to escape the blame.
Prince Yu knew this, but he couldn't bear to see his sister end up like this, "Perhaps the Empress Dowager can ask Father to take back his decision..."
Imperial Concubine Jiang sneered, "If that's the case, why don't you go look for your grandmother instead of looking for me?"
“Your son…” Prince Yu frowned, his lips twitched a few times but he didn’t say the rest.
Although he was worried about Jingmin, he was also afraid of the majesty of the Imperial Grandmother, and he did not dare to offend his father at this time, so he could only place his hopes on his mother.
Concubine Jiang had seen through Prince Yu's thoughts long ago, and said with a cold look in her eyes: "Jingmin has committed a heinous crime, if you don't want to be hated by your father, don't interfere in this matter.
I have advised her many times, but since she refuses to listen, she will have to bear the consequences herself!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Yu knew that Concubine Jiang would not come forward for this, so he lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Although Huang Ling had suffered a bit, his secret care would ensure that she would not suffer too much grievance.
He was just about to resign when a palace servant came over and reported everything that had just happened in the Zhangqian Palace.
Concubine Jiang staggered and immediately overturned the small table beside her. "Idiot! How could I have such a stupid daughter!"
She had obviously arranged everything for her, and she would have no worries about food and clothing even in the imperial mausoleum. However, not only did she not know how to be cautious, she even openly contradicted him and made such a treasonous statement. She was simply stupid!
"Mother, you must save Jingmin. Without her title, she will be thrown into the fiefdom. How can a weak woman like her survive?"
Emperor Hui'an announced the death of Princess Jingmin to the public. He couldn't bear to take her life, but he didn't want to keep her in the capital any longer, so he prepared to send someone to send her to her fiefdom to let her fend for herself.
Concubine Jiang closed her eyes deeply, sat down heavily, and said in a deep voice: "What else can we do now? Please leave. I am tired."
Concubine Jiang knew very well that Emperor Hui'an must be very angry this time, otherwise, with his kind-hearted nature, he would have been more furious.
There are so many eyes watching them outside now. Once Prince Heng’s faction gets to know about this, they will definitely make a big fuss about it.
"Yes, I will retire."
Prince Yu had a cold and worried look on his face. He thought for a moment and then rushed to Jiang's residence.
At that time, Jiang Fengqi was reading in the room. When she heard Prince Yu calling her, she frowned subconsciously, but still tidied her appearance and went to meet Prince Yu.
"I've met the prince..."
"Fengqi, there is no need to be so polite." Prince Yu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Jiang Fengqi from bowing, with an anxious look on his face, "Fengqi, I came to you today because I have something to ask of you..."
After hearing the story of Prince Yu's visit, Jiang Fengqi was silent for a moment.
"Fengqi, your grandfather loves you the most. If you are willing to ask your grandfather to help, he will definitely find a way to save Jingmin." Prince Yu looked at Jiang Fengqi with burning eyes.
Jiang Fengqi pondered for a moment and spoke softly, "Why doesn't Your Majesty go directly to find Grandfather?"
Prince Yu frowned in displeasure, his eyes turned cold, "What do you mean? We are going to be married soon and we will be one as husband and wife. Jingmin is also your sister. Can you bear to see her like this?"
Jiang Fengqi sneered in his heart. Since he was so worried about Princess Jingmin, why didn't he go to ask her in person but instead came to find her first? Ultimately, it was a choice he made after weighing the pros and cons.
I want to save people, but I don't want to be implicated.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has issued an order and even grandfather would not dare to disobey it.
Besides, Fengqi is just a girl in the boudoir, and she dare not discuss state affairs. I am sorry that Fengqi can’t help with this matter.”
Looking at Jiang Fengqi's cold eyes and brows, Prince Yu couldn't help but think of the always rational and cold faces of Empress Dowager Jiang and Concubine Jiang, which made him feel disgusted for no reason.
The girl from the Jiang family is really cold-hearted!
"I heard that you openly embarrassed Yi Yi at the palace banquet. I didn't believe it at first. Now it seems that you are no different from those narrow-minded women in the harem. I overestimated you at the beginning!
Since you don't want to, forget it, just think that I have made a mistake in choosing you!"
Prince Yu scolded Jiang Fengqi and left. Jiang Fengqi turned away with a calm expression and left without any reluctance.
Prince Yu was feeling very upset and was about to leave Jiang's residence when he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Your Majesty."
Prince Yu turned around impatiently and saw Jiang Wanyue running towards him with her skirt lifted up. She was running so anxiously that she accidentally twisted her foot. Fortunately, Prince Yu supported her and she was able to steady herself.
She raised her watery eyes. Unlike Jiang Fengqi's, who was polite and distant, her almond-shaped eyes were quite gentle and tender.
Prince Yu thought that the Second Miss Jiang was more likable than Jiang Fengqi.
"Your Highness, I was very anxious when I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess was in trouble. I know that I am powerless and cannot help Your Highness, but I have a humble plan. I wonder if it will work..."
