Chapter 62
The next few days of the waterway, walk the ripples very smooth
The honorable Emperor’s grandson mostly stayed in the cabin every day to read books to pass the time, and seldom came out to walk around
Although Ling Jingshu has the intention to approach the defection, but very cautious, did not take the risk of action
From what Ling Jingshu had said, it was clear that the young great-grandson had a cold heart and ruthless tactics, and was by no means a foolproof master
She must plan carefully, lest she fail to use her strength to avenge herself and instead arouse suspicion
These days, she has been staying in the cabin, either staying with Ling Xiao, or chatting with Ling Jingyan Jiang, asking about the situation of the descendant of the emperor without any trace of movement
Jiang’s and the Imperial Grandson are distant cousins, although there is not much interaction on weekdays, what she knows is much more careful than what Ling Jingyan has heard on the roadYan has told you that His Royal Highness the Great Grandson had beaten the palace maid and sent the East Palace officials to the Heavenly Prison, right?”
Jiang gave a meaningful smile, “Some things can’t be taken at face value”
Ling Jingshu’s eyes flickered as she tentatively asked, “If cousin sister-in-law says so, could it be that there is an inside story to this?”
Ling Jingyan also curiously pricked up her ears
Sitting on the boat all day was really boring
Furthermore, there were no outsiders here
Jiang generously told what she knew: “It was also the last time I went to my cousin’s residence to pay my respects, I occasionally heard my cousin say a few words” The cousin in Jiang’s mouth was none other than the Duke of England Jiang Ye
The late Empress Jiang came from the House of the Duke of England, and the Duke of England, who held a high military position, had a close relationship with the Crown Prince’s residence
It is not surprising that he knows the secret affairs of the Crown Prince’s residenceI heard from my cousin uncle that the courtesan was rewarded by the Empress to the Crown Prince’s residence, and she relied on the support of the Empress to do her job openly
In name only, she was the eyes and ears of the palace
His Highness the Great Sun deliberately found a grand excuse to send her off, and the Empress Dowager was annoyed in her heart, but there was nothing she could do”
Jiang’s eyes were filled with admiration
After Empress Jiang’s illness and death, the Emperor established Empress Xu as the head of the Six Palaces
Empress Xu had both holy favor and means, and now the harem had long become her world
Empress Xu also do more and more no scruples, openly and openly to the prince’s residence rewarded the palace girl
The princes know that this is the Empress Xu’s eyes, but also had to put up with it
Huang Taisun, however, refused to tolerate this sulk
He used the same honorable means to get rid of Empress Xu’s eyes and ears
After the palace maid killed herself, took the initiative to enter the palace to “apologize”
Empress Xu can do?
Can not for a palace girl and the emperor grandson face to face it!
Empress Xu can only pinch her nose, will be this mouth sulking bear down
Ling Jingyan listened in awe, “Cousin-in-law
Hearing you say that, this Imperial Grandson is really powerful!”That’s for sure”
Jiang’s tone exuded a bit of pride with honor
When her eyes turned, she saw Ling Jingshu’s thoughtful face, “Ah Shu, what are you thinking about?”
Ling Jingshu slowly said, “I am thinking
The Empress has planted eyes and ears in every residence
There should be more than just one palace maid!
By doing this, His Highness Taisun is clearly making an example of her
It’s also hinting to the Empress Dowager that if she extends her hand into the Crown Prince’s Mansion again, more than just this one palace maid will die”I guess, after this, the Crown Prince’s Mansion secretly dismissed some more subordinates!”
Jiang: “”Jiang’s gaze was filled with dismay and amazement, “You’re right I heard all of this from cousin uncle, you’ve never been to the capital, and you’ve never met the Taisun or Empress Dowager
How did you guess?”
Ling Jingyan also couldn’t help but widen her eyes
How on earth did Ah Shu guess these things?
Ling Jingshu smiled faintly, “It’s actually not that hard to guess, as long as you think about it carefully, you’ll be able to figure it out”
Ling Jingyan bristled, “I can’t guess these”
Ling Jingshu was not angry either
She smiled at Ling Jingyan, “You only listen to these things as stories and have never thought deeply about them
Naturally, you couldn’t have guessed”
That tolerant look and tone was like coaxing a child
Obviously she was a year older, but in front of Ling Jingshu, the one who was unreasonably upset was always her, Ling Jingyan was also embarrassed to make a scene, and not very naturally changed the subject, “Cousin-in-law, listening to you, could it be that there is something else going on in the matter of the East Palace official being sent down to the Heavenly Prison?”
In this case, even Jiang didn’t know the details: “This cousin uncle didn’t go into detail, but when he heard the rumor that His Highness Taisun had disobeyed the Crown Prince, he said in disbelief: a bunch of ignorant fools!”
Ling Jingyan was confused as she listened, and when she looked at Ling Jingshu again, she again had a thoughtful expression on her faceAh Shu, what did you understand?”
Ling Jingyan couldn’t help but ask
Ling Jingshu frowned slightly, and quickly spread out again, “Since they are subordinate officers of the Eastern Palace, of course His Highness the Crown Prince must be defended
Otherwise, it will chill the officials whose hearts are toward the Crown Prince
Therefore, His Royal Highness the Great Sun stepped in to be the villain
In this way, the subordinate was disposed of without leaving anyone in the dust”Perhaps, this official who was sent down to the Heavenly Prison has long been secretly drawn in and had a second thought
His Royal Highness Taisun had noticed this, and deliberately caught him in the act and sent him down to the Heavenly Prison
Letting the secret mastermind suffer a secret loss and still not be able to say anything”
Jiang: “”Ling Jingyan: “”Both of them coincidentally looked at Ling Jingshu with the same strange look
Ling Jingshu was dumbfounded, “I just said it off the top of my head, and it may not be right
What are you all looking at me like that for?”
Jiang was the first to open her mouth, “I was thinking that it’s too much of a shame for you to be born as a woman with such intelligence and sensitivity”
Ling Jingyan also exhaled a long breath and sighed heartily, “Ah Shu, I will never be eyeballing you with jealousy again”
This was not the difference between a wildflower and a peony, it was simply the distance between a firefly and the white moon in the sky!
!
While laughing and joking, Ling Ji came in with a smile, “What are you guys chatting about so happily?
You can hear your laughter from a long way away”
Ling Jingyan snaps and laughs, “The topics we women are discussing together, we can’t let you know”
Ling Ji lost her smile, “Even if you don’t say it, I can still guess it
You guys just got together, you must be able to be discussing His Highness the Great Sun”
As a matter of fact, it wasn’t just the few of them, these past few days, the name of the Imperial Grandson appeared more frequently in the mouths of Grand Master Ling and Sun
Jiang pursed her lips and laughed, “You purposely came to find us, it wouldn’t be just to talk about this!”
Ling Ji’s face was straightened, and he said with a straight face, “We have been traveling for several days in a row, and there are still three or four days of water travel before we arrive in Luoyang
His Royal Highness Taisun ordered the ship to dock at the pier to facilitate the purchase of fresh meat and vegetables
I came to ask you all if you want to go to the pier for a walk?”
Crowd: “”PS: Obviously every chapter is so good, how can you skip fixing oo~
