The emperor lingered on his sick bed for many days, and the general did not have to go to court.
The prince died, and the news of the Jiang family's downfall reached the ears of the general.
A look of pride flashed across the general's expression: "Huh! The Jiang family is going to have this day too!"
However, before he could be proud for long, another imperial edict from the palace was also issued to the general's mansion.
It was another unfamiliar father-in-law who came to deliver the order. It was actually the emperor who wanted the general to lead troops to defend the border again!
The general's eyes widened immediately, and he drew his long sword, about to kill the father-in-law.
Mrs. Qin on the side saw that the situation was not good, and rushed to stop the general, "Husband! In troubled times, it is not appropriate to be impulsive!"
How willing is the general!
It turned out that the emperor was ill and the Jiang family was about to fall. This was a good time for him to show off his tricks! This thief emperor actually wanted to get him out of the capital with an imperial edict! Even if he made it clear, he didn't believe him!
The general stared angrily, and Mrs. Qin hugged him and begged: "General, think about your family, think about Concubine Jing, and Lan'er... let's take care of it slowly."
The general looked at his wife's tearful eyes, and finally withdrew his sword and raised his voice: "I understand, general! It just needs time to prepare troops, horses, food and grass, and to say goodbye to your family! You go back and resume your life!"
"Yes." The father-in-law was so frightened by the general's momentum just now that his legs went weak, so he quickly dropped the imperial edict and ran away.
The general was still a little angry, "How can we give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this?"
He closed his eyes. Mrs. Qin was not a decisive person, so she could only look at the general.
The general suddenly opened his eyes: "...You go back and rest, I am at home."
"General..."
"Let's go and take good care of Lan'er."
The general got up and went to the study. Mrs. Qin looked at the direction he was going and knew that he was going to the study. The study was such an important place that the general never allowed others to approach. Even though she was scared and worried, Mrs. Qin could only take one step at a time.
leave.
In the study, the general wrote a secret letter, one to his subordinates, and arranged for them to prepare it. One was to be sent to the palace and handed to Concubine Jing - the emperor cannot stay long. If he wants to rebel, here
Within a few days of preparation, the emperor must die! Only in this way can the court be completely caught off guard!
After writing the letter, the general stood quietly for a moment, and suddenly thought of the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang... I'm afraid she's still suffering in the prison!
It's time to meet her...
…
Royal Palace. In the Queen's Palace.
A low-key young father-in-law came over with a food box and sang in front of the door: "The wine my queen asked for can solve a thousand worries in one drink!"
After saying this, the maid beside the Queen opened the door for him.
The father-in-law raised his head slightly, and it turned out to be the one who had just "delivered the order" in the general's mansion. The fear and confusion in front of the general were nowhere to be seen on his face.
He said quickly in a low voice: "It's done, the general believes it."
The maid didn't say anything, but said loudly: "Back off! My wife is in pain of losing her son, and she needs to drink some rice wine to relieve her sorrow!"
"Yes, yes..." The little father-in-law suddenly changed his expression again, lowered his eyes and left.
The maid took the rice wine, entered the door, closed the door, and whispered in the Queen's ear, "My Lady, it's done, the General and Concubine Jing must take some action."
The queen's face showed neither surprise nor joy. She poured herself some rice wine and drank several gulps.
Looking a little drunk on his face, he stood up and sneered: "Let's go, the emperor and I have been married for many years... go see him."
"Yes, empress."
The queen stepped out of the palace, wearing plain clothes and looking a little vicissitudes of life. She seemed to be broken down and sad about the death of the prince.
She walked forward, and the palace passage was deep.
…
Heavenly prison.
After all, Mrs. Jiang's status is such that she has the queen's protection, and the Jiang family's old military headquarters made secret arrangements, so she is not in a panic at this moment.
Mrs. Jiang was still the same as she was when she came here. No soldier dared to speak rudely to her.
It's just that the cell was gloomy after all, the humidity inside was heavy, and the environment was not very good. Mrs. Jiang just closed her eyes and didn't say a word.
"Where are the rest of the Jiang family?!"
Mrs. Jiang still kept her mouth shut.
She just said: "As I said, I'm going to visit my relatives."
He looked like he didn't believe it.
The people who pressed her didn't dare to do anything to Mrs. Jiang. After repeated questioning, they only got these answers.
It’s really sad!
It happened that at this time, the sound of quarrels came from outside the prison.
"Let me in! I am Mr. An! I am the head of the state! Please teach me to go in!"
"What's the fuss about?"
The leader of the soldiers supervising the Tianlao heard the noise, shouted loudly, and went out to check.
I saw Mr. An's more and more chubby body appearing outside the cell. He seemed to have dressed up specially, wearing bright clothes and wearing jingle bells - but this aesthetic... I really can't compliment him. This jewelery outfit was on his
Her body looked like a pig wearing pearls and jade, which was really not very pretty.
"Mr. An? Why are you here?"
Now that the An family is in full swing, Mr. An is not a low-key person, so these soldiers will naturally recognize Mr. An.
Mr. An arrogantly said, "I'm here to see Mrs. Jiang! Let me in quickly! You can't bear to offend me!"
"this……"
The soldiers could only seek the supervisor's opinion. Although the supervisor was dissatisfied with Mr. An's attitude, he really couldn't afford to offend him. They had no choice but to say sideways: "Master An, go in! The time for three sticks of incense must come out!"
Mr. An let out a "hum" and glanced around with contempt, "Things you can't see! Hum!"
This made these soldiers even more unhappy, but they didn't say anything.
Mr. An's chubby body entered the prison.
As soon as he entered, he couldn't help but frown, "This place... is really not worthy of my status! If it weren't for..."
Before he finished speaking, he had already walked to Mrs. Jiang's cell.
The Sky Prison generally holds serious criminals. In order to separate all the prisoners, each person has a separate cell.
In comparison, the cell where Mrs. Jiang is located is much better than other places. The ground is covered with thick hay, there is a desk in front of her, and there is a little sunshine, so it is not completely dark.
Mr. An saw her standing alone in front of him and raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Why are you the only one in the Jiang family? Where are the others!? Could it be that they left you and fled in fear of crime!?"
Mrs. Jiang didn't even bother to pay attention to him and closed her eyes to rest.
Mr. An was indeed very unhappy. He kicked the cell pole, but the iron railing hurt his toes!
"Ouch!...My foot!" Mr. An's chubby body was still very flexible. He jumped on one foot while holding his toes, grinning in pain.
Mrs. Jiang still ignored him. When Mr. An finally recovered, he yelled viciously at Mrs. Jiang in the cell: "Damn old lady! You are here too! Aren't your Jiang family very powerful! Ah? Now all your children and grandchildren are here.
I don’t care about you anymore! Aren’t you very proud!? You dared to drive us away before! Your children and grandchildren still dare to bully me! This is called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi!”
"Wait, I'm the father-in-law of the country! It's Mr. An! I will never make it easy for you! When your children and grandchildren come back, they will be taken to the prison! I will torture you one by one until you die!"
