After discussing it with Shi's father and Shi's mother, Shi Jiang stayed at home almost every day in the following days and stayed behind closed doors.
Then hide in the space and practice wholeheartedly.
In the space, there is abundant spiritual energy, and cultivation can be said to be a rapid progress. However, within half a month, the loose barriers began to show signs of breakthrough.
After taking a foundation-building pill, Shi Jiang went up to the third floor of the foundation-building pill.
Opening his eyes, a large amount of spiritual energy poured into his Dantian, and his whole body felt like he had been reborn.
When she came out of the space and opened the door, He Hua, who was waiting on her, blurted out immediately when she saw Shi Jiang.
"Miss, why are you so radiant?"
Isn’t it that the eldest lady was hiding in the boudoir and unwilling to come out because she was annulled a few days ago?
But in He Hua's eyes, the young lady is now more radiant than before, and she doesn't look like she has been hurt at all.
Shi Jiang smiled and was about to tell He Hua to get her post. She wanted to go outside the city and visit His Highness the Second Prince.
I saw someone running out of the yard panting, holding a post tightly in their hands.
"Miss, His Highness the Second Prince is here to ask for an audience."
Hearing this, Shi Jiang opened his eyes slightly. He was just about to find him, but he didn't expect that Chu Ziqing would come to him on his own initiative?
"Invite him to father's study."
Shi Jiang thought for a while and gave instructions to the visitor.
Now the mansion doesn't know if there are any spies from the prince, so just in case, it's safest to go there to talk.
"Miss Shi, you are well!"
When Chu Ziqing saw Shi Jiang coming in, he stood up and saluted Shi Jiang.
"Why did the second prince come to the door today? What's the matter?"
Shi Jiang returned the gift, raised his hand and asked Chu Ziqing to sit down, then sat opposite him and asked curiously.
Upon hearing Shi Jiang's inquiry, Chu Ziqing's face showed some embarrassment.
"Miss Shi, there is a reason. You rescued me at Prince Ding'an's Mansion that day. After my father found out about it, he misunderstood your relationship. That's why the Lian family broke off their engagement with you.
Now, I want to issue a decree to grant marriage to you and me. Although I have told my father many times that there is no personal relationship between you and me, my father has always refused to agree to my request.
I really had no choice but to force my father to postpone the marriage because the girl and the general of the Lian family were about to break off the engagement. If we were to marry you and me immediately, it would probably cause criticism from the people in Kyoto.
But, this matter is ultimately related to you. So, I came here this time to tell you so that we can discuss a solution."
Speaking of this, Chu Ziqing's face showed shame.
It's all because of his uselessness that he hurt Miss Shi like this.
After all, the original girl and the second son of the Lian family were about to get married!
Now, because of him, Shi Lian and his family broke up, and it was all his fault.
Shi Jiang didn't expect that there was such an inside story about the Lianfu's divorce. He was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was so.
Yi Lian Kun, that old fox, would have never agreed to break off the engagement in any case if the emperor hadn't suppressed him!
After all, Shi Jiang believed that Lian Kun must have known about the prince's coveting of Liancheng.
"The second prince does not need to worry about this matter. I am not compatible with the second young master of the Lian family. It is my heart's wish to break off our engagement with him.
As for the marriage, I am not a match for the second young master, let alone a royal relative with such an immortal appearance as the second prince!
It must be that the emperor doesn't know my true appearance, so he wants to marry you and me like this.
As long as you tell the emperor the truth, I think the emperor will definitely give up the marriage grant to you and me."
After Shi Jiang said these words, he looked at Chu Ziqing, pondered for a moment, and then asked again.
"It's just that I would like to know, did the Emperor's order for the Lian family to cancel their engagement have His Highness the Crown Prince's handiwork?"
Chu Ziqing nodded. Although his face was a little embarrassed, he didn't hide it.
"My father asked my brother to investigate your matter. He just told the truth and it was not intentional."
Hearing this, Shi Jiang laughed out loud and murmured.
"Tell me the truth? Didn't you mean it? Hahahaha... Second Prince, if you knew what kind of person your brother is, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that!"
Chu Ziqing was stunned after hearing what Shi Jiang said, and replied with a confused look on his face.
"My imperial brother and Miss Shi don't know each other, so why would they target you deliberately?"
"Of course it's because your Imperial Brother's acquaintance is the Second Young Master Lian that he deliberately targeted me like this. This time, I have broken off our engagement with the Second Young Master Lian. I think your Imperial Brother will be the happiest!"
Shi Jiang snorted and laughed.
"Why? Even if he knows Second Young Master Lian, what does it have to do with Second Young Master Lian breaking off his engagement with you? Even if Second Young Master Lian breaks off his engagement with you and doesn't marry you, he will marry another girl!
Moreover, my father just granted marriage to the Imperial Sister and the Second Young Master Lian a few days ago, is he deliberately targeting you for the sake of the Imperial Sister?"
Chu Ziqing looked confused and said with a frown.
"What did you say? The emperor granted marriage to the princess and Liancheng?"
Shi Jiang's eyes widened. He didn't expect that he just stayed behind closed doors and didn't even know that such a big thing had happened.
"Yes, just a few days ago. Sister Huang is not young anymore, and the wedding date is scheduled for the middle of next month."
Chu Ziqing nodded and replied firmly.
"Second Prince, I will only say the next words once. It's up to you whether you believe it or not! It's up to you whether you say it or not! Originally, I thought that if I broke up with Liancheng, there would be no more trouble.
However, this time the Emperor has granted you a marriage, I am afraid that when the time comes to get married, it will not be your sister’s good news, but her death!”
"Miss Shi, what do you mean by this?"
Chu Ziqing stood up suddenly, frowned and asked in confusion.
Shi Jiang directly told everything he had discovered, and put the token he had obtained from Qi Han before and the note sent by the prince's flying pigeon in front of Chu Ziqing.
After Chu Ziqing heard what Shi Jiang said, he was stunned!
After all, this dynasty belongs to the emperor's brother, why would he do this?
But this East Palace Token is real, and the handwriting on this note is indeed the handwriting of the emperor. Chu Ziqing took a few steps back, knocked his heels on the legs of the chair, and held the evidence tightly in his palms, in despair.
Slumped down on the chair.
"Black Tiger Mountain... Black Tiger Mountain? What you said may be guaranteed to be true? Even if your father wiped out Black Tiger Mountain and attracted His Highness the Crown Prince as a thorn in his side, this has nothing to do with your marriage to the Second Young Master Lian.
What does it have to do with it?"
Chu Ziqing raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like lightning, looked at Shi Jiang, and asked sternly.
"Of course it's related, because your imperial brother doesn't like beauties but blue ones! Therefore, my engagement to Young Master Liancheng is the original sin. In addition, my father wiped out Black Tiger Mountain, which made His Highness the Crown Prince despise me.
A thorn in the side.
In fact, even if the Emperor doesn't care about you and me, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely try his best to get the Lian family and the Shi family to cancel their engagement."
