Chapter 185 Showdown

   This cry of pain made Gu's mother's eyes turn red, seeing Gu Xiujing's unbearable pain, she couldn't bear to turn her face away. After the old doctor re-treated the wound, Gu Xiujing's close-fitting clothes were drenched in cold sweat, and he lay on the bed in a daze, only his chest was still heaving weakly.

   "Go, ask Madam to come in." This matter was initiated by Jiang Luo, and she naturally had to do the personal service.

  Although the doors and windows were opened, there was still a smell of blood lingering in the room. Jiang Luo lowered her eyebrows and slightly covered the tip of her nose with a handkerchief.

   "Luo'er is pregnant, so it's her turn to do such a thing." Gu Xiujing's eyes fell on Jiang Luo's lower abdomen, and a weak smile finally appeared on his face.

   Seeing this, Gu's mother also knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so she finally walked away. Jiang Luo still looks like he loves Gu Xiujing, but his smell is too bad, even if he has an attractive face, Jiang Luo can't do it.

   She was tearful and vomited a few times, Gu Xiujing was distressed that she would take care of the loss in her heart.

   In the end, the little maid who served in the room came forward to serve.

  The little girl's face is fair and clean, with slender eyebrows and big eyes, and there are a few traces of Jiang Luo's charm on closer inspection.

  Gu Xiujing's chest was bare, although his leg was injured, it did not affect his unparalleled beauty.

  The little servant girl's face turned red when she saw it, and her heart was beating like a deer. She shyly dipped the handkerchief in warm water and scrubbed Gu Xiujing's body.

  Jiang Luo stood at the door and saw some meaning, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

  Since Qin Huaisu left Beijing, Jiang Changning stayed in the mansion and rarely went out. That young man in white always made her feel uneasy. To be on the safe side, she even asked Qin Liu to check his identity.

  The news I got was that his name was Chu Rong, he was from a merchant family, and his family was in business. Because he is the youngest son, the elders in the mansion are more spoiled, thinking about going out into the rivers and lakes, and doing some kung fu with the guards in the mansion.

   No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with Gu Han, who was a master of martial arts in his previous life.

  Jiang Changning thanked Qin Liu, and just lit the paper in his hand with a candle, Hong Xing walked in with a nervous expression on his face: "Girl, Mr. Yuanbao is here."

  Jiang Changning paused, watching the paper gradually turn into ashes, he couldn't help but sighed.

   This is the first time, the queen really does not give up.

   "Madam told the girl not to show up when she complained of illness, she just went back to Mr. Yuanbao's place." Hong Xing said while looking out, it seemed that the queen's people would rush in and **** Jiang Changning away in the next second.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Changning did not lie down on the bed as usual, but sat in front of the mirror and used some lip balm, and put the multi-treasure silk-wrapped gold hairpin in the makeup box on his head, and changed into a solemn and solemn blue hair Dressed in a horse-faced skirt, he walked out of the room calmly.

Eunuch Yuan Bao was brought into the main hall by his servants, Mother Jiang asked someone to serve tea and said with a face of embarrassment: "Please trouble Eunuch to run this trip, but unfortunately, Sister Ning caught cold last night, and she is not feeling well today. Ask the doctor to look at it and say that it is necessary to recuperate, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to enter the palace, and let down the kindness of the empress, it is really a sin."

Eunuch Yuan Bao is not something she can dismiss with just a few words, and instead of retreating, he smiled and said, "What did Mrs. Jiang say? If Miss Jiang is unwell by chance, she just takes this opportunity to enter the palace to perform well in front of the empress, and she can also get favors and go to the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital to show her. Wouldn't this illness be cured sooner? Besides, what's the matter today? If I run this trip and return in vain, I’m afraid it’s not good to do business with the empress, if it’s convenient for Mrs. Jiang, can I let my family see Miss Jiang, so I can ask my empress to express my condolences.”

  Mother Jiang clenched her teeth, secretly thinking that the **** couldn't see the refusal in her words, or he didn't care about the Jiang family's attitude at all, and only needed to bring him into the palace according to the queen's request.

   Before she could say anything more, Jiang Changning just walked in. Because he intends to enter the palace for an appointment, he specially changed his clothes and looked a little energetic.

  Eunuch Yuan Bao said "Yeah": "Isn't this Miss Jiang? Why do you see Miss Jiang's eyes are bright and her face is good, but she is very ill?"

Mother Jiang saw that she had sent someone to tell Jiang Changning to stay in the room and not have to deal with it, but now she stood up, fearing that something wrong would be exposed and it was just an excuse to deceive the empress, so she hurriedly said with concern: " Why did Sister Ning come out? Didn't the doctor tell you to rest in peace?"

Jiang Changning's mind was clear, and he guessed the excuse Mother Jiang used just now almost instantly, and then coughed lightly twice, with a weak voice: "Thank you mother for your concern, Changning is fine. Since the empress intends to invite you , Changning definitely has no reason why he shouldn't." Jiang Changning turned to Eunuch Yuan Bao: "Eunuch is in trouble, let's go."

  Eunuch Yuan Bao turned his eyes around the mother and daughter of the Jiang family a few times, knowing what the two of them were thinking, but did not show any emotion on his face: "In that case, please, Miss Jiang?"

  Jiang's mother hesitated to speak, but she sighed silently when she saw Jiang Changning's appearance. After all, there was no reason to avoid disasters all the time. Sister Ning is smart, so she shouldn't suffer any disadvantages.

Jiang Changning entered the palace with him in the carriage sent by Eunuch Yuanbao from the palace. He kept silent along the way, and occasionally opened the curtains to look at the scenery outside. He didn't feel nervous or excited at all. like swimming.

  Because of this, although Eunuch Yuan Bao didn't say anything, he looked at her from the bottom of his heart.

  The queen has been waiting in her palace for a long time, the distance from the palace to Jiang's mansion is not too far, and she gave Yuanbao an hour with all her money. But this person waited for two full hours before entering the hall, and he didn't even know how many times the tea had been changed. The queen's face had changed from raised head to anxious to resentful, and now it has faded anger.

   "My daughter, Jiang Changning, pays her respects to the empress."

  Jiang Changning was ushered in by the maid next to the queen, and started shouting a few meters away, until he stood not far in front of the queen and bowed his legs.

  The queen scraped off the froth on the cup, glanced down with tepid eyes, and made her stand up without responding for a moment, intending to give Jiang Changning some beatings. But after all, calling people into the palace this time was the wrong intention to win over, and the queen didn't do too much, and said, "Miss Jiang will be free from courtesy soon."

   "Come here, give Miss Jiang a seat and tea."

  The empress greeted eagerly, and hurriedly asked her servants to give Jiang Changning a seat, and asked directly without going around in circles: "Miss Jiang, do you know why I called you here this time?"

  Of course Jiang Changning knew, but she didn't say that, with a blank expression on her face: "Forgive Changning for being ignorant, I don't know what your empress means?"

The queen's face turned ugly for a moment, and she said patiently, "Since that's the case, I won't go around in circles. I have mentioned the prince's marriage at the banquet before, and this matter has always been my top priority. I always feel that You are virtuous, virtuous, beautiful, and wise enough to match the crown prince, and I intend to marry you, are you willing?"

  Jiang Changning was ready to pretend to be a snake with the queen, but she lost patience and directly pointed it out. While being dazed, she politely rejected the queen's kindness.

   "Chang Ning is ashamed. I can't bear the approval of the empress for mediocrity. I hope that the empress will take back her life. Moreover, Chang Ning already has someone in mind, and I am afraid it will be difficult to serve His Highness the Crown Prince."

  The queen didn't expect her to talk about this. Jiang Changning dared to shamelessly reject her face to face. What kind of person is she in love? Isn't it Qin Huaisu who repeatedly spoiled her good deeds.

"What is the reason for this palace? It turns out that Miss Jiang has found another good son-in-law. What? Miss Jiang's favorite person is Qin Huaisu, the king of banquets? I heard that before the expedition, the king of banquets complained in front of all the courtiers. From the bottom of my heart, I said that I am in love with Miss Jiang, but is it true?"

Although the queen was asking a question, she didn't mean to ask Jiang Changning to answer, so she snorted coldly: "I never thought that Miss Jiang's vision would be so short-sighted. The banquet king is just a name, and he doesn't have any real power in his hands. Miss Jiang wants to be a puppet princess in the future? Besides, Qin Huaisu has a violent and moody temperament, and when his relationship fades and tires in the future, Miss Jiang's life may be as miserable as it is..."

The queen wished she could take this opportunity to vent her hatred towards Qin Huaisu in front of his beloved, and slandered a lot of his faults and shortcomings, but she didn't see the person in front of her getting more and more angry because of her words. The deeper the look.

   "My Lady—"

  After listening for a while, Jiang Changning couldn't bear to interrupt her words anymore, his face was tense, and there was no more smile in his eyes.

Jiang Changning interrupted the ceremony because of his words, and then slowly said: "The empress is the mother of a country, and the people in the city know that the empress is kind-hearted and loves the people like a son, but today the empress has nothing to do in front of her ministers." To slander His Royal Highness Yan Wang without any basis, and to say that he is a puppet prince with no real power? Does your empress mean that the emperor is biased? His Royal Highness Yan Wang is very good, he is the best person I have ever met in my life, please please your empress. Hold your mouth high."

  Emperor Jin'an was indeed biased, but he couldn't say it bluntly. The queen choked for a moment, and felt that she was a little emotional just now. Annoyed and angry, she yelled down: "Bold!"

  Jiang Changning was not afraid at all, because of an encounter in the illusion, he knew the queen's sweet words and swords and what she had done to Qin Huaisu. Even though the woman in front of her has a hibiscus face, she felt extremely disdainful and disgusted.

"Your Majesty has summoned the courtier's daughter over and over again, not because of the courtier's daughter, but because of a word from Master Kongchan." Jiang Changning smiled slightly, but his words became more and more cruel: "The vegetarian banquet a few days ago was also difficult for the empress. I gave such a big gift to the court lady. Is the empress wondering why the court lady is safe and sound in the end?"

  The empress finally changed her face, her fingers curled up slightly in her sleeves, but her tone was still very calm: "I don't understand what Miss Jiang said."

   "Your Majesty doesn't understand, so the servant girl is naturally very willing to explain her doubts." Jiang Changning patted his skirt calmly, took a sip of the scented tea at hand. Seeing that the situation was not right, the people in the palace bowed to the queen one after another, and retreated quietly.

   Only Jiang Changning and the Empress remained in the Fengming Hall.

   "Your Majesty, do you know who is the person who came to the side hall to look for the minister's daughter that day?"

  Thinking of the wound on Emperor Jin'an's head, the queen already had some premonition in her heart. For a moment, I didn't know whether it was more anger or nausea.

   "If you love your son deeply, you will have far-reaching plans. The courtier understands the painstaking efforts of the empress. The empress is naturally waiting for the day when His Royal Highness sits on the dragon chair. But has the empress ever thought about whether the Holy One will be willing?"

  The queen was ashamed of Jiang Changning's contemptuous tone, but the meaning behind her words made her heart tense, and her feverish mind also calmed down.

"The more people lose something, the more they want to keep something. How can you not be reluctant to say let it go and let it go if you have been in a high position for decades. Now the Holy Majesty is still sitting in that position. Although he prefers His Highness, he is not good enough to let it go." The throne is coveted by others. After all, he is an emperor first, and then a father."

  The queen understood Jiang Changning's meaning, and suddenly a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

  Ever since Emperor Jin'an was assassinated and seriously injured when he left the palace, she relaxed her vigilance and became complacent. Doesn't Emperor Jin'an go to that side hall to show that even though his time is running out, he is still attached to the throne, and his every move is watched by him.

  The queen was silent, but Jiang Changning knew that she had already listened to those words.

Jiang Changning stood up and said the last sentence: "Your Majesty can give it to you, but you can't **** it if you don't give it to your mother. Although the prince is not in the heart of the emperor, he is also the blood of the emperor. The empress thinks why the prince is going out this time. It is to make the prince forever stay at the border, or let the lord return to Beijing with his military exploits, who knows?"

   "The minister thinks that it is inappropriate for the minister and the empress to meet before the prince returns to Beijing, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion on the Holy Majesty."

  The Queen's complexion changed several times, and finally she gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang is really eloquent and eloquent, and almost got me in."

  The sky was getting dark, and Jiang Changning's long skirt dragged on the smooth ground. She could only see a blurry figure of the queen behind the bead curtain, and her face could not be seen clearly.

  The palace man came in softly again, and carefully lit all the candles on the candlestick. The orange candlelight danced, making the smile on the Queen's face weird.

  Jiang Changning and her had nothing to say, so they decided to leave.

   "It's getting late, and my mother is waiting in the mansion. Thank you for your kind invitation today, and my daughter-in-law will leave first."

   "Girl Jiang really doesn't want to marry Yuan'er?" The queen's voice was very soft, as if she had given up her mind.

  Jiang Changning's eyes were very firm: "Yes!"

  The queen laughed softly after hearing her answer. Under Jiang Changning's expressionless gaze, his voice became louder and louder: "Yes! I can't wait to let Yuan'er sit in that position. He is the prince, so that belongs to Yuan'er! What is Qin Huaisu? Things, are they worthy of being compared with my son? Jiang Changning, oh Jiang Changning! Do you think that this palace has nothing to do with you?"
