The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 48
Bitao was shocked when she heard the words, and said, "Why? Do you want to let His Majesty misunderstand you?"

Jiang Nian smiled, "It doesn't matter if I'm alone, Your Majesty doesn't like me. She thought it was me who did it, and at most she didn't like me a little bit more, but the Empress is different. If Your Majesty knew that it was the arrangement of the Empress before her death, She will suffer."

Bitao did not expect that Jiang Nian would be so understanding of righteousness.She said excitedly: "Your Majesty already knew that the late Emperor would not misunderstand anyone. His Highness is so generous, why can't His Majesty see your kindness?"

Jiang Nian smiled freely, "Who made Gu Wu meet her before that person? Besides, Gu didn't do anything anyway, at most she didn't give me any good looks, and she won't lose a piece of meat."

His face was calm, but in fact, a certain place in his heart was getting colder little by little.

But Bitao was very grateful for his unfazed appearance, and secretly made up her mind to help him consolidate the imperial husband's position.

After Bitao left, Jing Ming brought a cup of hot tea to Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian glanced at the pastel teacup, and said calmly, "No need, go get Gu a pot of bamboo leaf green."

"Your Highness, do you want to drink?" Jing Ming was taken aback.

"I'll go if I tell you!" Jiang Nian showed a rare expression of impatience, and his tone was a little bit hostile.

Seeing him like this, Jing Ming didn't dare to say anything, and silently did as he asked.

The paperwork was almost done, and Jiang Nian didn't feel sleepy at all despite being exhausted all day.

Drinking alcohol is just because of depression in the heart.

Maybe it's okay to get drunk.

But after drinking a pot of wine, Jiang Nian's mind was still extremely clear, and he almost opened his eyes until dawn.

It was also difficult to sleep that night, and Ning Yuezhao who lay down on the bed early.

In her mind, An Chen was seriously injured for a while, and Jiang Nian was forbearing for a while.

Just between the interweaving of the two figures, she fell into a chaotic dream.

In the dream, An Chen was lying on the bed with a dark complexion, Ning Yuezhao felt extremely distressed.

Jiang Nian put his arms around his chest, and said with a cold face: "This lowly slave wants to poison my medicine. Fortunately, I prevented him and let him taste the medicine, otherwise I would be the one lying here now."

"Clap" sound.

Ning Yuezhao turned around and slapped him, "Stop spitting! It's obviously a play directed and acted by you!"

Jiang Nian covered half of his face, his eyes almost burst into flames, "Are you crazy? I am your fiancé, and you actually sided with him and slandered me!"

Ning Yuezhao was also stunned, no, she is already married to Jiang Nian, and An Chen has never been poisoned?
As her thoughts moved, the scene changed suddenly.

It turned into her striding ahead with anger, and Jiang Nian followed her helplessly and forbearingly, but he never looked back.

Later, Jiang Nian stayed in the Palace of Political Affairs all day, dealing with endless papers.

But Ning Yuezhao herself only cared about An Chen.

Day after day, year after year, finally one day, Jiang Nian vomited out a mouthful of blood, and was declared by the imperial doctor to be sick from overwork and die soon...

Ning Yuezhao stood there in disbelief, as if she was in a sea of ​​fire, or immersed in a spring of ice...

"Your Majesty, wake up..." Bitao's concerned voice came from beside her ear.

Ning Yuezhao opened her eyes suddenly, and what came into view was the bright yellow embroidered golden dragon roof.

It turned out that it was a dream...

At this time, the sky was only dim, but it was already the time of the morning court.

"Did Your Majesty have a nightmare?" Bitao took the soft handkerchief and carefully wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

"I'm fine." Ning Yuezhao sat up, the middle clothes were soaked in sweat, and felt very uncomfortable at the moment because they were sticky and sticky.

Bitao first took a clean middle sheet and put it on for her, and then called the maid to help her wash and change.

Because Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian didn't sleep well last night, they both showed a little tiredness in the morning court.

Seeing Jiang Nian's slightly tired face, Ning Yuezhao couldn't help thinking of the scene in his dream where he vomited blood from exhaustion.

When Jiang Nian saw that Ning Yuezhao couldn't hide the bruises in her eyes even after applying vermilion powder, combined with her slightly absent-minded expression, she thought that she couldn't sleep all night because of An Chen, and his heart sank again.

Fortunately, there is no major matter to deal with this morning, otherwise the two people's absent-minded state will obviously delay the matter.

After announcing his resignation, Ning Yuezhao whispered to Jiang Nian, "Don't rush away, come with me."

Jiang Nian was a little surprised, and nodded calmly.

So, the two returned to the Dragon Hall together.

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian sat side by side in the first seat, the maid brought tea, and they drank tea separately without talking.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was also a little weird, and the palace people held their breaths and concentrated.

Not long after, the arrival of Zuo Ming, the commander of the imperial army, broke the suffocating silence. .

"My servant sees the emperor, the emperor's husband." Although he felt a little strange, Zuo Ming still saluted politely.

Ning Yuezhao raised her hand to support her, "Stay flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zuo Ming stood up straight.

Ning Yuezhao waved her hand, making all the palace servants to retreat.

Then she asked, "How's the case going?"

Zuo Ming said seriously: "Return to Your Majesty, the prison boss has already been recruited, and he was instructed by the head of the punishment department."

The head of the Ministry of Punishment is a sixth-rank official, and if you look further down, you still don't know who will be pulled out.Zuo Ming didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he came to ask for instructions immediately.

Ning Yuezhao knew what he meant, she took a deep look at Jiang Nian, and said in a deep voice, "That's the end of this case."

When Jiang Nian heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly without warmth.

"Yes." Zuo Ming is also a smart person, knowing that the empress no longer wants to continue to investigate.Then, the conclusion of this case can only be that the prison boss failed to extort bribes and indulged the prisoner in committing crimes.

After Zuo Ming withdrew, he looked at Jiang Nian meaningfully before leaving.

Jiang Nian smiled slightly, watching from the beginning to the end, without saying a word.

Seeing his silence, Ning Yuezhao was a little displeased, but still said patiently: "This is the biggest concession I can make."

Jiang Nian looked at her with raised eyebrows, as if he didn't understand why.

Ning Yuezhao clenched her fists in her sleeves, and said directly: "I don't want to pursue what happened to An Chen, I just want to give him a way out."

The light in Jiang Nian's eyes dimmed, and sure enough, An Chen was not dead...

Seeing his expression, Ning Yuezhao felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

After a long time, Jiang Nian spoke slowly, his voice as cold as ice, "There are many ways to live, it depends on which one you want to give."

Ning Yuezhao sighed softly, and said: "Nowadays, people outside don't know that he is still alive. I plan to send him away from the imperial capital after his injuries are almost healed, and never come back again."

Jiang Nian's gaze slowly moved to her face, and he met her gaze, "Have you thought about it?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Ning Yuezhao's eyes, and she said firmly, "Think about it."

Jiang Nian's expression softened slightly, "That's as you said."

He has no regrets about An Chen's matter.

Her promise is for the alliance between them.

Unfortunately, people are not as good as God.

A few days later, the court meeting, which had been quiet for a few days because of the national funeral, became lively again.

A group of ministers headed by Dai Yi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, impeached the new monarch Ning Yuezhao, pointing out that she used the power of the Imperial Army to put pressure on the Ministry of Punishment in order to avenge her personal grievances.An Chen's death was clearly an accident caused by a private fight between prisoners, but she wanted to use it as a raft to suppress others.

This Dai Yibin is one of the proud disciples of Jiang Qixi, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Although he didn't say who Ning Yuezhao wanted to suppress, anyone with eyes could see that Ning Yuezhao was dissatisfied with the Jiang family.

Although Ning Yuezhao, who was sitting on the throne, was surprised, she didn't rush to speak out, but glanced at Jiang Nian lightly.

Jiang Nian was sitting upright, but his face was still as calm as water, and he just glanced back at Ning Yuezhao.

Second assistant Xu Zhisu came out against Jiang Qixi's party members, and immediately came out and said: "Bachelor Dai's words are wrong. According to the confessions given by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it is clear that those people are lying. There are many doubts in this case. Your Majesty ordered a thorough investigation into what is wrong?"

"Heh, what's suspicious about this case? Xu Cifu just talked about it." Dai Yibin was not to be outdone, and quickly fought back.

Xu Zhi was not in a hurry, "As far as I know, the people in the same cell as An Chen are all villains who murder and rob goods. An Chen was originally an imperial doctor, and His Majesty did not dismiss him. He still has an official position. As a man, why did the Ministry of Punishments lock him up with those vicious criminals?"

Having said that, Xu Zhi turned his gaze to Meng Sheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, with a searching look on his face.

Shi Mengsheng raised his eyes to meet his eyes, and said slowly: "An Chen set fire to the Dianzang Pavilion, causing the medical classics and imperial physician's manuscripts of the past dynasties to be reduced to ashes, and the rebuilding of the Pharmacopoeia was delayed as a result. Isn't this a heinous crime?"

"Really?" Xu Zhi obviously didn't agree, he said, "If Imperial Physician An has merits that can make a meritorious deed a crime, but is suppressed by others?"

Shi Mengsheng looked at Xu Zhi amusedly, "It's ridiculous, how can he make amends for committing such a heinous crime? Can he restore those books that were reduced to ashes?"

Xu Zhi came prepared, ignored Shi Mengsheng's ridicule, and turned to Ning Yuezhao, "Your Majesty, you have known Yuyi An for many years, do you know that he has a photographic memory?"

Ning Yuezhao's face turned pale instantly, and she nodded mechanically.

As if he had been greatly encouraged, Xu Zhi continued: "Your Majesty, I request a few things from you."

Ning Yuezhao frowned, not knowing whether to agree to him or not.

But I heard Jiang Nian say calmly: "Submit it, I just want to see what it is."

It was only then that Xu Zhi noticed that the emperor's husband, who had been silent all this time, was at odds with Jiang Qixi, and Jiang Nian didn't like him either.Although Jiang Nian is now the emperor's husband with less than one person and more than ten thousand people, Xu Zhi is sure that An Chen is the empress's love, so he wants to help An Chen ascend to the throne and bring down the Jiang family.

So, under Xu Zhi's gesture, someone respectfully held up a tray, on which was a men's jacket with blood on it.

Shi Mengsheng said disgustedly: "Xu Cifu, what do you mean by presenting such filthy things to the Chongtian Palace?"

Xu Zhi picked up the middle coat, walked up to Shi Mengsheng, unfolded it, and said loudly, "Shi Shangshu, let's take a good look at what this is!"

Shi Mengsheng took a closer look, his expression changed, he pointed at his shirt tremblingly and said, "This...how is this possible?"
