"Jiang Yunxu is here?" Jiang Zuoxiang couldn't believe it after hearing the news. After confirming it again, the guard insisted that it was him who was here and was at the gate of the city.
Ever since Jiang Yunxu held a banquet in Linyi Palace and had her appearance restored by the gods, her appearance had been painted and spread to the capital, so the guards guarding the city recognized her immediately.
What's more, Jiang Yunxu didn't come alone. There were so many soldiers behind him. Who else could be in such a lineup besides Jiang Yunxu?
"She is not afraid of death, and she dares to come to the capital." Jiang Zuoxiang's eyes still showed a fierceness. The hatred for killing his wife and the hatred for killing his son, both together are irreconcilable.
"Father."
A gentle voice suddenly came to my ears, and not far away Jiang Yan'er came meandering in a light green dress.
After staying in the nunnery for a year, Jiang Yan'er has long since lost her original impetuousness and has become much calmer. She walked over with a cold face: "Father, there is no need to confront Jiang Yunxu head-on. We should
Welcome the other party into the city generously and respectfully. Grandma is still ill. As a child of the Jiang family, Jiang Yunxu has the obligation to be filial in front of her grandmother. Otherwise, it will be a great act of unfilial piety. The people in the whole city will condemn her. As long as she loses the support of her father, her father
Are you still afraid that you can't beat her?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zuoxiang nodded and praised Jiang Yan'er with a smile for her rationality in handling things.
"Father, Jiang Yunxu killed his mother and younger brother, and a few days ago he killed the King of Qi County. Such a murderer is not worthy of being the mother of a country."
In fact, Jiang Yan'er was almost going crazy with jealousy. She was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and the one with the most noble status, while Jiang Yunxu was just a little wretch, worse than an ant in the Jiang family.
How can Jiang Yaner not be jealous when she is stepped on by someone she has looked down on since childhood?
"How is your grandmother?" When Jiang Zuoxiang learned that Jiang Han went to the nunnery, he had already sent people to protect Jiang Yan'er and put a fake one inside. In fact, he had brought Jiang Yan'er back long ago.
Jiang Yaner shook her head: "Grandma is still the same."
"For your troubles, take more care of her."
"What did you say, father? As a younger generation, a daughter should take care of her grandmother. It's not hard work." Jiang Yan'er lowered her eyes and covered up the murderous look in her eyes. When she raised her head again, her face was already full of gentleness.
The father and daughter chatted for a while, and then there was movement in the yard next door. It was Zhao Ji who rushed over in a panic. Upon seeing this, Jiang Zuoxiang winked at Jiang Yan'er, and soon Jiang Yan'er retreated.
"What are you so worried about?" Jiang Zuoxiang found a stool nearby and sat down, putting one hand on the table. He didn't look anxious at all.
But Zhao Ji said: "Master Xiang, I heard that Jiang Yunxu and his people are outside the capital..."
As soon as he heard the news, he was frightened to death and hurriedly came to Jiang Zuoxiang for help.
Jiang Zuoxiang squinted at Zhao Ji angrily: "Why are you panicking? She's here as soon as she comes. It's not like the sky is falling."
"But she has brought troops and can break in at any time."
Zhao Ji felt guilty. Everything he had done to Duke Zhao's Mansion was still vivid in his mind. A few months ago, the Queen Mother suddenly summoned him and forced him to betray Duke Zhao's Mansion with a glass of poisoned wine.
In order to survive, of course he chose to protect himself, so he betrayed the entire family of Duke Zhao in accordance with the Queen Mother's request.
Moreover, the Queen Mother personally asked Zhao Ji to lead people to raid the Duke Zhao's mansion in Linyi. There were corpses all over the ground, and the screams of the slaves seemed to be echoing in her ears.
Zhao Ji still had the nerve to stay in Linyi, so he returned to the capital after begging the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother did not feel embarrassed and let him go.
After his house was ransacked from Duke Zhao's mansion, he couldn't sleep well all night. Whenever he closed his eyes, someone was calling for help.
This time Jiang Yunxu came back. He originally thought that the Queen Mother would kill Jiang Yunxu, but as a result, he learned that the Queen Mother was critically ill.
Now Zhao Ji couldn't sit still at all.
Jiang Zuoxiang said a few words of comfort: "This is the capital, not a place for her to run wild. Besides, isn't the old lady in your house also the grandmother of the current emperor?"
After Jiang Zuoxiang gave some advice, Zhao Ji's anxious heart slowly relaxed. Then Jiang Zuoxiang handed Zhao Ji a few antidote pills and asked him to take them back to Mrs. Zhao to take.
"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister."
Before leaving, Jiang Zuoxiang whispered a few words in Zhao Ji's ear. Zhao Ji's expression suddenly changed and he was speechless.
"With two old ladies here, she won't dare to do anything wrong."
