After listening to Jiang Fang's words, Queen Mother Jiang frowned and thought for a while. Now she just wants to ascend the throne as soon as possible. There are countless people who covet the throne. She is only afraid of long nights and many dreams.
But what Jiang Fang said is not unreasonable. Even if he takes the throne now, he seems to have an unfair reputation. If he rushes to the throne, he may only lose the support of the people, and the country will be in turmoil.
So Empress Dowager Jiang said: "Let me leave this matter to you. If there is anything that needs help from the Ai family, just ask, but this matter can only succeed and cannot fail."
Jiang Fang nodded, and then left with Duan Jiu.
After leaving Yonghe Palace, Duan Jiucai said: "Do you know that this matter is not that simple, it involves military power and the battle for the throne."
Jiang Fang shrugged: "How could I not know, but do you think I have any other choice? Now I and Empress Dowager Jiang are like grasshoppers on a rope. If she suffers, can I run away?"
Xiao Boyuan wanted to silence him, but I was lucky enough to escape. If Empress Dowager Jiang fell, would I be spared?
I only hope that General Leng is a loyal man who serves his country. The late emperor saved his life back then, and he should support the late emperor in both public and private matters."
Duan Jiu asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Jiang Fang thought for a while and said: "First arrange for some people to go to the place where General Leng is stationed to do something to benefit the people under the banner of the late emperor, and try to make a big splash.
Then I will ask Empress Dowager Jiang to replace all the things she did before with the late Emperor's dreams. In this way, General Leng may be able to remember the late Emperor's affection."
Duan Jiu nodded, but still asked worriedly: "The risk in your case is really too great. You can't trust a person's conscience. If it fails, is there any backup plan?"
Jiang Fang shook his head: "No, if we fail, we will have to fight head-on. But this can at least buy us time. During this time, we can try to find the rebels in the palace."
As soon as Jiang Fang returned to Jinxiu Palace, Empress Dowager Jiang sent someone to deliver information about General Leng and his daughter Leng Ningshuang. Jiang Fang looked at the pile of papers and shook his head.
Jiang Fang didn't know how he fell asleep. After reading so much yesterday, he seemed to remember that Leng Ningshuang seemed to be a knight-errant, who had never been in the capital.
But in the past few days, I don't know if it was because Xiao Boyuan actually returned to Beijing. The Leng family only had this daughter. Naturally, she was very happy when she learned that Leng Ningshuang was coming back.
Leng Ningshuang and Xiao Boyuan were childhood sweethearts. After the engagement was made, Leng Ningshuang disappeared from the world. This was something Jiang Fang did not expect.
If it is said that the two of them are in love, getting engaged should be a good thing, but how could this condensation disappear? It feels like a runaway bride.
Jiang Fang was at a loss all of a sudden. Leng Ningshuang probably didn't like Xiao Boyuan, so why did General Leng help Xiao Boyuan?
But looking at the troops Xiao Boyuan led last time, they looked like they were from General Leng's tent. If he didn't get General Leng's permission, how could Xiao Boyuan mobilize the troops under General Leng?
Jiang Fang couldn't figure it out, but she was still going to proceed as planned. She changed her clothes and covered the spots on her face. After all, everyone now knew that the third princess Jiang Fang had a large red spot on her face.
After leaving the palace, Huang Quan followed her. She was relieved to see that Jiang Fang was fine. Unlike Banxia, Huang Quan was very cold and could not say a word for a long time.
After leaving the palace, Jiang Fang asked, "Where is Xiao Yao?"
Huang Quan returned: "After learning that you had been rescued by the three princes, I left."
The carriage came all the way to the busy city. After Jiang Fang got off the car, he took Banxia and Huang Quan to go to the inn where Xiao Yao stayed to look for him. It was probably him who was in Yan Mansion last time, so he probably didn't leave the capital so quickly.
.
But before Jiang Fang had walked a few steps, he heard the sound of a fight not far away. Jiang Fang was curious and led the two of them up.
I saw a girl with long hair tied up and jumped out of the carriage very neatly. She unsheathed the sword at her waist and started fighting with the people in front of her.
Jiang Fang leaned over and saw clearly that the man was actually Xiao Yao. However, Xiao Yao never hit women, so he did not take out his sword, but retreated while fighting.
The woman seemed to feel that Xiao Yao was giving in to her, and she was angry and anxious for a moment: "You are a libertine, why are you pretending to be a gentleman now!"
Jiang Fang opened his eyes wide, and after asking the uncle next to him, he found out that it was Xiao Yao who touched his buttocks, and that's when the spanking began.
Jiang Fang suppressed his laughter. Is Xiao Yao really good at this? This woman looked very heroic, and her temperament was somewhat similar to Xiao Huaijin's.
After a fight, the woman was surprised not to touch the corner of Xiao Yao's clothes. Xiao Yao took a few steps back and said, "You are really unreasonable. I told you that I watched that thief steal your wallet."
The woman blushed angrily and cursed: "The thief stole my purse, then what are you doing with your hands? Stop quibbling here!"
Xiao Yao sighed: "I had already cut off the purse and wanted to return it to you, but you turned around and took a step back. I didn't even have time to straighten up, and you still relied on me."
The woman pointed a sword at Xiao Yao and stepped forward to chop off his hand. Xiao Yao had no choice but to avoid it, and then said: "Can you be reasonable?"
Jiang Fang quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Yao. When the woman saw Jiang Fang, she stopped what she was doing. Jiang Fang said: "This heroine, you may have really misunderstood.
I am his friend, and I know his personality well. He is not this kind of person. I am afraid there is some misunderstanding. How about we find a place to talk about it? "
Seeing that Jiang Fang was blocking her, the woman put away the sword in her hand as she didn't want to hurt innocent people. Xiao Yao then stepped forward, looked at Jiang Fang and asked, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Fang shook his head: "It seems you are the one in trouble now."
After asking what happened, Jiang Fang said: "Then this matter is actually very simple. If you find the little thief, you will know that Xiao Yao has indeed helped you get your wallet back."
Xiao Yao said: "If I had known, I wouldn't have helped her. There were a lot of people who saw her. I just asked anyone, but she just didn't listen and was very angry."
Jiang Fang said quickly: "Can you consider the feelings of this girl's family? Does anyone want to be like a rough old man like you? Heroine, please ignore him, he is just a mean-mouthed person, but he is not that bad."
Seeing Jiang Fang speak for her, the woman also had a good impression of Jiang Fang and said, "Don't call me a heroine. My name is Leng Ningshuang. Just call me Ningshuang."
