Jiang Fang returned to the palace, wondering what Xiao Yao's words meant all the way. Did Mr. Yan Ge also want to sit on the throne?
But now there are Prince Chang and the two princes, so this is not his turn. Even if his power allows it, there is no legitimate banner.
However, although Mr. Yan Ge looked at the old man as being stubborn, he should not be a person with such thoughts. When Jiang Huaigu was in power, even if Jiang Huaigu couldn't hold up the wall, he still assisted him conscientiously. He had never done anything like this before.
Complain.
The Yan family has a great cause and a solid foundation. It is not right to have such thoughts. If the Yan family is ruined because of such foolish thoughts, how much regret will Mr. Yan Ge have?
After returning to Jinxiu Palace, he happened to meet Duan Jiu, and Jiang Fang brought him back with him. After seeing the worry on Jiang Fang's face, Duan Jiu asked, "Did you encounter anything when you went out?"
Jiang Fang told the story of meeting Leng Ningshuang, and then said: "Look at this, the method we mentioned before seems to not work."
Duan Jiu said: "To put it another way, why did Leng Ningshuang obviously not want to marry Xiao Boyuan, but they still got engaged?"
Jiang Fang didn't expect this and asked: "If I remember correctly, if they want to get engaged, they need the emperor's permission to marry.
Although Jiang Huaigu was in power at the beginning, Empress Dowager Jiang should be the one who made major decisions, but she knew Leng Ningshuang’s extraordinary status, so why did she agree to the marriage? "
Duan Jiu said: "If my guess is correct, Queen Mother Jiang should be afraid of General Leng's military power, but now she cannot withdraw his military power without any reason.
General Leng occupies the southwest area. Although he does not care about government affairs, he is still very fearful. And Xiao Boyuan is in Beijing. If General Leng's only daughter is married to Xiao Boyuan, it will naturally be easy to control.
The succession of the late emperor's legitimate son to the throne was justifiable and was the late emperor's will. But what happened now is that Empress Dowager Jiang may not have thought of it herself, but instead she helped Xiao Boyuan."
Jiang Fang asked: "If the marriage was originally granted just to contain General Leng, does that mean that General Leng and Xiao Boyuan are not of the same mind?"
"I have heard about the incident between Prince Chang and General Leng. It was just a disagreement. In fact, there was no dispute."
Jiang Fang was like a deflated rubber ball: "Now General Leng is a hot potato, and several forces want to snatch it away. Prince Chang, Queen Mother Jiang, and Mr. Yan Ge are all ready to make a move."
Duan Jiu's eyes lit up: "You said Mr. Yan Ge also intends to win over General Leng?"
Jiang Fang shook his head and said: "I don't know very well. It's just a guess right now. I don't have any specific clues."
Duan Jiu said, "Don't you know that General Leng's brother, Leng Changhe, is a student of Mr. Yan Ge? The relationship between the Leng family and the Yan family is extraordinary.
Mr. Yan Ge is Leng Changhe's adoptive father. He originally planned to marry the baby, but the Yan family's young lady's belly has been silent, and Yan Chuan has only now had a child."
Only then did Jiang Fang realize that things inside seemed more complicated: "So even if Yan Qing doesn't try to win over Leng Qinghe, Leng Qinghe should still be on Yan Qing's side, right?
So what does Yan Qing want to do now? The last time you met Xiao Yao, Yan Qing wanted to take him under his wing. He is indeed a talent, but what does this have to do with Leng Qinghe? "
Duan Jiu's eyes turned cold, and when he mentioned Xiao Yao, he felt angry. If he hadn't been aware of current affairs, Duan Jiu would have really wanted to get rid of him and get away with it.
"Leng Qinghe, I'm afraid he knows something, and something big is going to happen in the southwest army. Yan Qing should be planning for what's going to happen."
Jiang Fang suddenly thought of Leng Ningshuang, so she was a victim in this political war. If Xiao Boyuan wanted to win over Leng Qinghe through marriage, it would be impossible for him to give up Leng Ningshuang.
But when Leng Ningshuang came back this time, it seemed that she wanted to break off the engagement. But the marriage granted by the emperor, how could it be broken off so easily? Leng Ningshuang must have known it herself.
But if Leng Qinghe was not of Xiao Boyuan's group, he must have wanted to terminate the engagement as soon as possible, but there was no movement at all.
Is Leng Qinghe really planning to help Xiao Boyuan?
Jiang Fang rubbed his temples, and then said: "This matter is very involved. It's like a mess, and I can't figure it out clearly."
Duan Jiu comforted: "Don't make things difficult for yourself. If you can't figure it out, forget it. Maybe you can find the source if you wait for a chance."
Jiang Fang shook his head and suddenly asked: "Duan Jiu, why did you help me?"
Duan Jiu didn't expect Jiang Fang to ask such a question, and said calmly: "There is no reason. You gave me the status of the third prince-in-law. I should do something consistent with my status."
Jiang Fang glanced at Duan Jiu, this guy was so proactive last time, but this time he even asked if it was a big deal, but he still refused to say it directly.
He really looks like a scumbag who is ambiguous but refuses to take responsibility!
"I'm tired, you should go back and rest early."
Facing Jiang Fang's sudden indifference, Duan Jiu was a little at a loss. Did he just say something wrong? Looking at Jiang Fang's expression, he seemed a little annoyed.
Duan Jiu asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jiang Fang shook his head, but then nodded: "Yes, I feel a little uncomfortable, please go back."
Duan Jiu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. It wasn't until Jiang Fang stood up and was about to leave that Duan Jiu choked out a sentence: "Then you should rest, don't resist."
When Jiang Fang heard this, his body stiffened, so is this guy really a piece of wood? But isn't it true every time he analyzes things?
His powers of observation and reasoning are obviously so strong, but why didn't he notice at all that he was speaking out of anger and sarcasm?
Maybe he knew but didn't tell?
Jiang Fang suddenly felt very disappointed, right? Did he really overestimate his position in his heart? Was that scene really just wishful thinking on his part?
The more Jiang Fang thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. When he looked back, Duan Jiu had already left. Jiang Fang sighed, feeling confused in his heart.
These things were so messed up that it was hard to figure them out, and Duan Jiu was also so messed up that he couldn't guess what he was thinking.
