Jiang Han muttered and glanced sideways at Jiang Yunxu. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back when he reached his lips. He reached out and touched his nose.
He knew Jiang Yan'er's identity, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, the concubine of Prince Qi, and one of Jiang Yunxu's enemies.
Ever since Jiang Yunxu became the queen, she has been strategizing and scheming all the way, from the Queen Mother to Prince Qing. Princess Qing and her two children had just gained military power, and now they were plotting against Jiang Zuoxiang.
Jiang Yunxu seemed to be able to see through Jiang Han's thoughts at a glance, and the corner of his mouth curved: "I am not as free as you think."
She indeed hates Jiang Yan'er and wishes for her to die, but she definitely doesn't devote time to deal with her like she does now.
It just happened that Jiang Yaner was included in the plan.
"Wei Chen... don't dare." Jiang Han felt guilty.
Jiang Yunxu hesitated for a long time but did not tell the story about Chu Xuazhi's injury. The fewer people who know about some things, the better.
"It's getting late, Right Minister Jiang. I'm waiting for good news from you."
Jiang Han could only nod his head.
After giving all these instructions, Jiang Yunxu was silent for a moment, then asked Hongqiao to quickly pack her luggage, and then ordered Mrs. Zhao Guogong to enter the palace. She gave a few instructions.
The two prime ministers could restrain each other for a period of time by fighting each other. She did not expect Jiang Han to have the ability to eliminate Jiang Zuoxiang.
It's just a balancing act.
"Don't worry, Queen, I will always pay attention to the news in the palace." Mrs. Zhao Guogong said solemnly.
It was almost dawn after giving the instructions. Before leaving, she personally went to Concubine Mu's palace. Concubine Mu seemed to be very surprised that the other party could come.
"The Queen is here so early?" Mu Taifei's eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition lingered in her heart.
Then she saw Hongqiao coming in with a glass of wine in her hand.
"Queen?" Mu Taifei looked horrified and kept backing away: "There is not much hatred between us. You are already the queen, why do you need to force me to death?"
Jiang Yunxu closed her eyes. Concubine Mu was quite smart. Some people left in the harem were like bombs. If they were not kept safe, they would explode one day.
She never underestimates any inconspicuous person, and often such people become the key to turning defeat into victory at the most critical moment.
"Queen??" Mu Taifei was a little excited: "I have never hindered you, why do I need to force people to death?"
Jiang Yunxu opened her eyes and looked at Concubine Mu up and down, with a cold tone and a determined look on her face: "You and the little prince can only live one life."
"Jiang Yunxu!" Concubine Mu was so angry that she jumped up and down. After the death of Emperor Lingzhou, her status plummeted. The Queen Mother often insulted her, and everyone who had insulted her dared to come forward and ridicule her.
.
She endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden until today, didn't she just want to take good care of the little prince?
That was the only bloodline left to her by her son.
"I can promise you that the little prince will have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life." Jiang Yunxu was too lazy to explain any more.
She didn't want to have an enemy in the harem.
When Taifei Mu saw that she was going her own way, she fell to the ground as if her soul had been shaken, and looked at her dumbfounded.
"No wonder you can achieve great things. You are so cruel. You can do bad things, but you can stay out of it. Everyone looks down on you."
If you ask her what she regrets most, it must be that she despised Jiang Yunxu. Killing Jiang Yunxu was as easy as crushing an ant.
She stared at Concubine Mu with cold eyes, her eyes were like daggers, raised her hand, and Hongqiao handed a glass of wine to Concubine Mu.
Concubine Mu seemed to accept her fate, holding the wine cup in her hand, staring at the other party for a moment: "If you dare to touch the little prince... I will not let you go even if you are a ghost!"
After speaking, Concubine Mu raised her hand, and the poisonous wine entered her throat and passed through her intestines. Jiang Yunxu lowered her head and watched Concubine Mu bleed from her orifices until she died.
"The news was concealed at first, and it was announced to the outside world that Concubine Mu had contracted an illness and needed to rest. A month later, it was announced to the outside world that she had died of the illness."
"yes."
After leaving Taifei Mu's palace, Hong Qiao looked at her with a puzzled face. Jiang Yunxu met Hong Qiao's eyes and asked with a smile: "Do you think I am cruel?"
Hong Qiao knelt down in fear: "I don't dare. I'm just curious about why the empress insists on killing Concubine Mu."
"Do you think that Concubine Mu can be willing to be a concubine? As long as there is a single seedling like the little prince, the Mu family will never be able to stop. Rather than leaving a person who is always looking for opportunities to take revenge, it is better to give her a happy life.
"
Sometimes being kind to others is cruel to yourself.
"The little prince..." Hongqiao hesitated.
Jiang Yunxu smiled and said: "It's just an innocent child. I won't kill him."
What's more, the little prince was the person she had tried so hard to save. He was well-behaved and sensible. How could she be willing to kill him?
Hong Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She thought her master had turned into a ruthless murderer.
When she returned to Fengyi Palace, everything was ready. She changed out of her clothes, put on the costume of a little palace maid, and headed to the front line with dozens of secret guards.
The whole journey nearly knocked out her internal organs. Yin Feng was in a hurry to get on the road. In addition to changing carriages to provide the horses with food and grass, they stayed all night, shortening the journey of more than half a month by less than half.
