Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Standing in front of the palace gate, Jiang Lianzhu saw that all the female relatives from all the families were at the guest table, but no officials had arrived yet. Jiang Lianzhu felt strange and was about to ask the servants of Prince Xiang's palace to inquire, but she happened to see Liao Yunchuan entering the door.

The two of them met and looked at each other, before Liao Yunchuan looked away.

Jiang Lianzhu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when she saw behind him, the six-door imperial army and a person who looked like a eunuch also stepped in, her heart that was about to let go was high again.

At the banquet, all the female relatives turned pale when they saw this situation, and the scene was in chaos.

Liao Yunchuan's face was complicated. He looked at Princess Xiang who walked out with a suspicious look on her face, and was speechless for a moment.

"Hurry up and surround Prince Xiang's Mansion!" Seeing Liao Yunchuan not moving, the eunuch screamed, "Master Liao, don't delay the important matters assigned by the Emperor."

Liao Yunchuan lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Take down Princess Xiang."

After receiving his order, the Six Gates Forbidden Army took action and tightly surrounded Prince Xiang's Mansion. Two guards stepped forward and escorted the pale Princess Xiang to them.

The eunuch unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, with a high-pitched voice, and every word he spoke was like an invisible sharp thorn: "By fate, the emperor has issued an edict that Prince Xiang intends to rebel. The evidence is conclusive, and Xiang is now being charged with treason." A group of rebels from the royal palace were taken to the prison and awaited their punishment."

The whole place of Prince Xiang's Mansion was wailing. Not only Princess Xiang, but also all the servants of Prince Xiang's Mansion were arrested one by one.

The female relatives at the banquet were dumbfounded, huddled together and did not dare to speak.

Liao Xiaole and Princess Xiang had the deepest relationship, and when they saw this scene, their eyes immediately turned red.

She looked at Liao Yunchuan, who was standing at the front and giving cold orders, and then at Princess Xiang who was in jail, and tightened her fists in her sleeves.

She mustered up the courage and took steps towards Liao Yunchuan, wanting to protect Princess Xiang, but Jiang Lianzhu saw through her intention, grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back, shaking her head at her.

Afraid that she would be impulsive, Jiang Lianzhu put her hands on Liao Xiaole's shoulders and felt her shoulders tremble. Looking at such a scene, her face turned ugly.

The emperor ordered Prince Xiang's Mansion to be declared a traitor. They can't do anything now, and they don't even understand what happened. If they come forward so rashly, they will only put the label of being a comrade on their own heads, and they will not be able to live with it.

Princess Xiang looked at the panicked expressions of the captured servants in the palace. She suppressed the shock and panic in her heart and pretended to be calm and looked at Liao Yunchuan, but her face was as pale as paper: "I dare to ask Mr. Liao, the prince and the How is the prince's current situation?"

"Prince Xiang has been imprisoned, and the prince's whereabouts are still unknown." Liao Yunchuan's voice was calm.

The inner prisoner was impatient, but he didn't show it on his face: "Master Liao, please stop talking nonsense with the traitor. It's better to take him back as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the imperial guards immediately pushed the person and took him away.

When she walked in front of Liao Yunchuan, Princess Xiang raised her head, her temples were slightly messy, her eyes were pleading, and there were sobs in her throat: "Master Liao, please, please help Yin'er."

She didn't know what happened, but now that King Xiang was imprisoned because of Xue Yin's accusation of rebellion, only Xue Yin was still outside, and the news was unknown. She could only ask Liao Yunchuan to help him, at least to ensure his safety. .

"What are you whining about? Take her away quickly!" The eunuch narrowed his eyes when he saw Princess Xiang still struggling and whispering to Liao Yunchuan.

Only then did the imperial guards react and pushed her roughly, and then everyone in Prince Xiang's Mansion was taken away one after another.

Liao Yunchuan stood for a while, waiting for everyone to be escorted out, and then he followed the team. His eyes fell on Jiang Lianzhu for a moment, and then he followed out the door.

The remaining Imperial Guards began to dismiss the guests. Jiang Lianzhu led the silent children with their heads down and followed them out of the palace. The four of them stood in the snow, watching the guests being dismissed one after another. Then the Imperial Guards came out and posted a sign on the door of Prince Xiang's Palace. Put on seal.

Jiang Lianzhu and Princess Xiang had a close relationship. In addition, the princess was gentle and kind, and never put on airs with her. There were not many rules between the two, but they got along like good friends. This time Prince Xiang's palace was suffering, her mood was naturally indescribable.

"Mom, will the princess be okay?" A slightly crying voice sounded. Liao Xiaole gently tugged on Jiang Lianzhu's sleeve, her eyes red.

Jiang Lianzhu knew that she had a good relationship with Princess Xiang, and she didn't know how to tell her for a while. She only comforted: "Princess will be fine."

Because Liao Yunchuan left with the imperial army, Jiang Lianzhu didn't know what happened today. She was anxious, but she had no choice but to take her children to the six gates to wait for Liao Yunchuan.

When the guard at the door saw a few people, he immediately let them in. Then he seemed to remember something and said quickly: "Madam, the boss hasn't come back yet. I guess he will have to wait."

Several people had something on their minds, so they didn't notice the title he said.

Jiang Lianzhu nodded, then looked at the guard and asked, "What exactly happened in Prince Xiang's Mansion today?"

The guard scratched his head and looked confused: "Prince Xiang's Mansion? Isn't Prince Xiang's Mansion hosting a birthday banquet for Prince Xiang?"

It seemed that the news had not spread. Jiang Lianzhu was thinking seriously, but her face did not show it: "It's okay, Mo Yue, I remembered it wrong."

She took the children and waited directly in Liao Yunchuan's study.

The few people sat quietly, with nothing to say for a while. There was a bit of silence in the air, but it was soon interrupted by Liao Xiaole's sobs.

Jiang Lianzhu herself was a little tired, so she reached out to hold Liao Xiaole's hand and comforted her silently.

Several people waited in the study for a long time, but Liao Yunchuan did not come back.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the door of the study room was opened with a creak. Several people looked up and saw the person coming, and the light in their eyes dimmed again.

The room was dark, with only the dim light coming from outside.

Yang Fei sighed, walked in, and handed a note to Jiang Lianzhu: "Madam, this is what the boss asked me to give you."

The boss knew Madam well and guessed that they would definitely be waiting at the six doors and asked him to come back first, otherwise Madam would have to wait here all night.

Jiang Lianzhu took the note and unfolded it. It didn't mention anything about today. She just asked her to take the children to have dinner at Liumen, and then go back to Lihuawan first, and then find her in person when he was done.

She put the note away and looked at the sky, only to realize that it was getting late.

"Madam, dinner has been arranged in the kitchen and will be delivered later." Yang Fei said.

Jiang Lianzhu nodded. Liao Xiaole secretly shed tears for a long time and fell asleep from exhaustion, leaning on Liao Xiaoan's shoulder.

Liao Xiaoan and Liao Xiaoping raised their eyes to look at her. Jiang Lianzhu stood up and lit the candle in the study, making the room instantly brighter.
