Soon, all the female relatives in Kyoto learned about the news of the Lian family's divorce.
Tao Silu congratulated Princess Nankang and said, "Princess, I knew that Jiang was not worthy of Young Master Liancheng at that time. Sooner or later, Lian's first assistant would have to help Young Master Liancheng cancel the marriage.
Now that Mr. Liancheng and Jiang Jiang have broken off, your opportunity will come, Your Highness!"
Princess Nankang was also very happy when she heard the news.
However, when she heard Tao Silu's words, she couldn't help but pout.
Because of Shen Yan's death a few days ago, her father and mother had blamed her a lot.
They also banned her feet for this reason. She was too bored by being banned, so she called Tao Silu to come over and relieve her boredom.
Now, after hearing the news, she couldn't go out and was really upset.
Seeing that Princess Nankang's face turned ugly, Tao Silu flinched. She didn't know what she said wrongly to make Princess Nankang unhappy again!
Thinking of Shen Yan's inexplicable death and the instructions her parents gave her after returning home from the banquet that day, Tao Silu felt very uneasy and began to think wildly.
She had nightmares at home for several days, always feeling that Shen Yan's death was closely related to Princess Nankang.
And I, being a lowly servant under the Princess Princess, don’t know that one day I will unintentionally anger Princess Nankang. When the time comes, will I die like Shen Yan?
"Your Highness, this is not good!"
The maid outside crawled in and shouted hurriedly.
When Princess Nankang heard this, she frowned, stood up, and slapped the maid who rushed in with her backhand.
"What are you talking about? This princess is very kind!"
"Yes, my servant said something wrong! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, issued an imperial edict to grant a marriage to Young Master Liancheng and Princess Yuehua."
This maid was the personal servant of Princess Nankang, so she naturally knew her master's thoughts, so as soon as she learned the news, she hurriedly reported it.
Nankang, who was just happy that Liancheng and Shi Jiang had broken off their engagement not long ago, took a few steps back when he heard the news and fell down on the couch.
"Impossible, this is impossible. How could His Majesty grant marriage to Liancheng and Yuehua? Yuehua... Why does Yuehua have her?"
Before Princess Nankang could finish speaking, the maid serving beside her hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
"Your Highness, please be careful what you say."
After saying that, he looked at Tao Silu, who was lowering his head like a quail.
"Miss Tao, our princess has no time to entertain you now. You should go back home first!"
After the maid finished speaking to Tao Silu, she winked at the maid serving beside her, and soon Tao Silu was invited out of Princess Nankang's courtyard.
Tao Silu was also shocked by the news that the maid came to report. She didn't expect that Young Master Liancheng would break off the engagement because he wanted to marry the princess?
Seeing Tao Silu leaving the courtyard, the maid persuaded Princess Nankang earnestly.
"Your Highness, you are the princess. After all, Princess Yuehua is your majesty's flesh and blood and a princess. If you slander her in front of outsiders, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."
"Does she deserve it? She is just a despicable palace maid who shamelessly crawled onto the dragon's bed to give birth to a child. She also deserves to be compared with me? Besides, Tao Silu is a coward, what are you afraid of?
If she dares to talk nonsense, the worst possible outcome is to kill her just like that Shen Yan.
No, I want to see my father and mother, but I don’t accept it. Why can she, Yuehua, be given a marriage?"
Princess Nankang shouted with a dark face.
Like Princess Nankang, the prince also didn't expect the result to turn out like this. He kicked over the desk in front of him, his eyes turned red.
"Why do you want your father to do this? It's obvious that you only need to let Liancheng and the woman from the Shi family break off their engagement, so why do you want to grant marriage to Liancheng and Yuehua?"
The prince was filled with hatred. Once again, he felt that the power in his hands was not enough, so he felt a sense of decadence that he could not do anything.
"Your Highness, please calm down!"
The confidant who was serving him knelt on the ground and comforted the prince.
"How can I calm down my anger? As long as I don't ascend the throne, I can't do anything! You will never understand the frustration and pain in Gu's heart."
The prince grabbed his confidant by the collar and said fiercely to him.
The confidant did not dare to reply, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.
The prince threw him aside with all his strength and punched him on the ground.
"This time, Gu must not compromise like last time."
Hearing the prince's words, his confidants lowered their heads even lower.
After Shi Jiang left the Shi Mansion with the housekeeper, he went to find Shi's father and Shi's mother.
"My daughter, what will you do in the future?"
Mrs. Shi held Shi Jiang's hand and couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of the Lian family coming to cancel their engagement today.
"Mom, what are you talking about? My daughter thinks it would be better to even come to the family to cancel the engagement. Dad, since we already know that the person we are dealing with is the prince, there is no need to involve others anymore."
"Jiang'er, I'm useless as a father. I can't protect your mother and you two siblings."
When Shi's father heard Shi Jiang's words, he burst into tears.
"Actually, it's not that we can't deal with the prince. After all, the prince is just the prince now. Above the prince, there is still the existence of the emperor!"
Shi Jiang smiled and patted the backs of Shi's father and Shi's mother's hands comfortingly.
"You mean?"
Before Mrs. Shi could react, Father Shi's expression suddenly froze, and then he looked up at his daughter.
"Your Majesty is still in his prime. If he knew that the prince had done these things without telling him in private, Dad, what do you think he would think?"
"But the prince is the emperor's biological son after all. Even if he is dissatisfied, it shouldn't be anything bad, right?"
When Mrs. Shi heard what her daughter said, she was surprised at first, and then said hesitantly.
"How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Moreover, Your Majesty is not the only one with a prince."
Thinking of the second prince, I just don't know if he is really devoted to the Tao or if he is wise to protect himself.
After hearing what his daughter said, Shi's father fell silent.
Thinking about it carefully, my daughter is right.
There are some things that His Majesty can take the initiative to give to the Prince, but the Prince will never reach out to take them himself.
"However, we have no evidence, so it may be difficult to convince His Majesty."
Shi Jiang nodded and replied: "Dad, don't worry! The second prince has some friendship with me now. When the time comes, my daughter will go see him and tell the prince about it. As for whether to tell your majesty, it is up to the second prince.
Decide for yourself.
After all, as my mother said, no matter what, the prince is your majesty's biological son.
If we produce evidence, the Crown Prince will certainly be punished, but those of us who produce evidence will inevitably be angered by His Majesty."
As for the evidence of the prince's crime, Shi Jiang believed that because of the prince's character, he must have evidence of the officials and thieves below who were bribed by him, so that he could control them.
However, I am afraid that it will take some time for her to explore the East Palace at night. As long as she waits for her to build the foundation, she will be able to pass through the palace unimpeded!
