"That's exactly what I'm saying. There are many families in the capital who are getting married recently, and they are all afraid of this. I think the idea you just mentioned is very good. I will find two knowledgeable people to help me with the consultation tomorrow. The sooner we do it, the better, so as to avoid more trouble later."

After leaving the Liu family, Jiang Sheng went to the palace.

When they were in Bianjiang City, Jingwan often wrote to her, but the two hadn't seen each other for a long time. Yesterday, Jiang Sheng asked Yingqiu to deliver a visiting card.

But before she arrived at the palace, the attendants of the Crown Prince Qi Junze came to her.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you."

Why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to me at this time?

She didn't ask any more questions and followed Qiu Wu.

After entering the palace, Qiu Wu did not take her to the prince's palace, but went directly to the palace of Concubine Lu Yao.

Seeing her coming in, Lu Yao took her hand affectionately.

"My child, you have suffered a lot during this period."

Jiang Sheng smiled and shook his head

"Thank you for your concern, madam. Fortunately, Uncle San prepared everything and we didn't suffer too much along the way."

Lu Yao asked the maids to serve tea and snacks, and then took Jiang Sheng to sit somewhere else.

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Sheng asked softly

"My Lady, you avoided Grandmother and Mother and came to me today, but do you have something to say?"

Princess Qian smiled and said

"You are such a smart girl."

Just as Concubine Chen was about to continue speaking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi Junze hurried over.

"Mother concubine!"

The Concubine Chen stopped talking instantly.

Qi Junze glanced at them and saw that Jiang Sheng had a calm face, as if he was relieved.

Jiang Sheng stood up and bowed slightly.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Qi Junze responded with a smile

"Cousin-in-law, don't be too polite."

Then he turned to Lu Yao and said

"Mother, my cousin's wife just returned to the capital, and you summoned her into the palace without letting her rest. Let them rest for a while, and then summon them together in a few days." The concubine glared at Qi Junze.

"Your Highness is really well-informed. I just borrowed Qiu Wu for a while, and you came here so quickly."

Qi Junze smiled and said

"Mother is joking."

Jiang Sheng felt that there was something strange about this mother and son.

Lu Yao looked at Jiang Sheng and said

"Sheng'er, I asked you to come here today because I have something I want to tell you."

"Aunt, please tell me what you want to say."

Qi Junze suddenly said

"Mother concubine!"

Jiang Sheng looked at the two of them and said softly

"Aunt, Your Highness, what are you doing..."

Qi Junze said with a smile

"When I left the capital, my cousin's fame spread all over the capital. So now that my cousin has returned, many well-connected families in the capital have come to my mother, hoping that my mother can arrange a marriage for you."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head and smiled

"I see. Thank you for your concern, Madam. But I have no plans to marry again. I once swore that I would only have Azhou in my life, regardless of life or death."

Lu Yao looked at Jiang Sheng

"Sheng'er, Wenzhou..."

Qi Junze hurriedly said

"My cousin is not here now, so my mother and I are naturally concerned about my cousin's wife's marriage, but if she doesn't want to, we will definitely not force her."

Jiang Sheng was very grateful to Qi Junze for this.

"That's the best. Recently, too many people have come to urge me to get married, but my thoughts have never changed.

I have no intention of remarrying. If anyone asks about this again, please ask my aunt to go back to her parents.

In this life, I have Azhou, which is enough for me. "

Lu Yao looked at her and said distressedly

"But, Sheng'er, today I..."

Qi Junze hurriedly said

"Cousin, I'll let Qiu Wu take you out."

Chapter 186

Jiang Sheng was invited into the palace without knowing why, and was asked to leave without knowing why.

After she left, Concubine Chen looked at Qi Junze and said angrily:

"Why are you stopping me?"

Qi Junze poured her a cup of tea.

"Mother, my cousin didn't want anyone to know that he was still alive. Why didn't you fulfill his wish?"

Lu Yao sat back on the couch and sighed.

"I wanted to fulfill his wish, but some time ago, when he was seriously ill and unconscious, he kept repeating your cousin's wife's name. They saw each other every day but couldn't recognize each other. I felt very sad.

Especially Sheng'er is infatuated with your cousin. You have seen how she looked when the news of your cousin's death came. If it weren't for the Lu family who needed to be taken care of, she would have gone with him. Now everything is fine, but the two of them are separated. How can I feel at ease with this?"

She glared at Qi Junze as she spoke.

"Sometimes I really don't know what you and your cousin are planning. Now that the Lu family has been vindicated, all those who framed the Lu family have been executed, and you have successfully ascended to the position of crown prince, what are you worried about that makes you resort to such a desperate measure?

"Does it make you feel better to see Sheng'er suffer? If the truth comes out one day, how will Sheng'er cope with it? Aren't you worried at all?"

Qi Junze sat next to Lu Yao and said with a sigh

"My cousin is also aware of what you said, mother. However, although the internal troubles have been resolved, there are still external troubles. My cousin is determined to deal with Beiyuan. If you tell your cousin's wife today, it will not do any good except to make her experience the pain of losing her husband again."

Lu Yao slammed the table

"Nonsense! Dongchen has no one left. We need your cousin as a soldier to fight the enemy and charge into battle! He has managed to survive with great difficulty. How can you... Besides, his health is not good and he has no skills..."

"Mother, this is not my arrangement. It is my cousin's own plan. He said..."

"what did he say!"

Qi Junze sighed and said

"He said that Lu Wenzhou had already died at the bottom of Xuanwu Cliff, and his current identity was just a scheming and cunning aide to the crown prince. There was no place for him in the capital and in the court.

Now that the Xiao family has been executed, there is no chance for Zhang Xiang's lineage to turn things around. Getting rid of Bei Yuan is my cousin's final plan. He said that as a member of the Lu family, dying on the battlefield is a worthy death."

Lu Yao said with red eyes

"The matter of Beiyuan is not that simple. There is no need to rush. There is still a long time to come. You two brothers can plan slowly..."

Qi Junze looked at Lu Yao with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"But, mother, he no longer has time."

"What do you mean there is no time? His health is not good, let Sheng'er take care of him slowly, how can there be no time!"

Qi Junze's voice was soft and low.

“I only know that my cousin was lucky enough to survive when his life was hanging by a thread because he was rescued by someone and took that person’s secret medicine. Although it reversed his life and death and saved his life, the countdown for his life also began.

Mother, my cousin only has five years to live."

"What! How could it be..."

The teacup in Lu Yao's hand accidentally fell to the ground and shattered.

"So, mother, this is why he refused to recognize his grandparents. How can he tell them? Should he tell them that he didn't die, but he won't live much longer?"

Lu Yao's tears suddenly flowed out, and after a long time she said

"Why is Azhou's life so miserable..."

Qi Junze advised softly

"I sent him to the Lu family in the hope of making up for his regret."

"But he is the only one who knows... He is the only one who knows... If your grandparents knew about it in the future, they would be so regretful and heartbroken..."

"Then don't let them know. My cousin never intended to let them know."

When Qi Junze left Lu Yao, Lu Yao's mood had calmed down a lot. She also promised Qi Junze that she would not talk too much in front of Jiang Sheng again. Only then did Qi Junze feel relieved.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Sheng recalled every move of her aunt and Qi Junze just now, and still felt a little strange. It was obvious that her aunt wanted to tell her something just now, but Qi Junze didn't want her to say it.

What could it be?

Could it be as Qi Junze said, that someone asked his aunt to arrange a marriage for him?

If this is the case, why should we hide it as if we are facing a great enemy?

Could it be something else related to me?

A bizarre idea suddenly flashed through Jiang Sheng’s mind. Could it be that his aunt knew something that Qi Junze didn’t want him to know?

What happened that made Qi Junze rush here, and why didn't he want me to know?

Could it be something related to Azhou?

As soon as this idea came out, Jiang Sheng himself laughed.

Maybe I really have gone insane. Ever since Zhiyu called my name that time, I have been insane and always feel that Azhou is not dead.

She didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but every time she saw Zhiyu, she seemed to see the shadow of Azhou in him.

As a result, his attitude towards her became more and more indecisive.

She knew that this was not a good idea. After all, Zhiyu was just Zhiyu and definitely not anyone's shadow.

This is an insult to both him and Azhou.

My current mentality is a big problem and I need to adjust it in time.

After returning to the general's mansion, Jiang Sheng met an unexpected person.

"Jingwan, why are you here?"

Wang Jingwan smiled and stood up

"You were summoned to the palace, and I thought I had nothing to do, so I came to see you. If you come back, we can see each other again today.

Who told me to really miss you. "

Jiang Sheng smiled softly

"It's been such a long time since we last met, and you've become more talkative."

"People are going to change."

Jiang Sheng always felt that there was something wrong with these words. She looked at Wang Jingwan who was smiling and said softly:

"You look so happy..."

Jiang Sheng sighed twice.

"It seems that I missed a lot of things when I was away."

Wang Jingwan smiled embarrassedly

"Come on, let's go to your courtyard and I'll talk to you."

"it is good."

As Jiang Sheng expected, Wang Jingwan was engaged.

Moreover, she herself agreed to this marriage.

This young man was a former student of her grandfather. Although his family was poor, he had a very good character and was extremely talented in studying.

A few years ago, Wang Jingwan met this man when she went to visit her grandfather, and he fell in love with her at first sight.

However, he had not taken the imperial examination at that time, and the status of the two was very different. He thought that if he passed the examination, he would use the name of his mentor to have more contact with her.

However, he did not expect that after he successfully passed the palace examination and gained fame, she had already been engaged.

At that time, the imperial court was selecting officials for exile, and he didn't want to stay in this sad place, so he was exiled.

After he made achievements and returned to Beijing to report on his work, he learned that Wang Jingwan had not married but had broken off the engagement.

The man was so happy that he immediately asked his mentor to ask for help from the Wang family to propose marriage.

It was only at this time that Wang Jingwan realized that there was actually someone who liked her and had liked her for such a long time.

Lord Wang learned from his father-in-law that this man was reliable, had good character, was quite capable, and had a good appearance, so he agreed.

Even the family background, which was the only thing that would be criticized, was not a problem for Mrs. Wang. It was more important for the young man to have his own abilities. Otherwise, even if he left behind mountains of gold and silver, they would eventually spend them all. Besides, they were not from a wealthy family, so this was considered a good match.

Just because the other person has liked their daughter for so long, they are extremely satisfied in their hearts.

Jiang Sheng teased

"Have you ever met that gentleman?"

Wang Jingwan blushed and nodded

"I went to my grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings before, and he happened to be there. We later went shopping in the market together. He was a very nice person and was very gentle to me.

We got together a few more times afterwards. He didn't look down on me because I broke off the engagement. Instead, he treated me with great respect. Sheng'er, I'm very happy to be with him."

Jiang Sheng smiled and looked at her, feeling happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

"Congratulations on finding the person you want to spend your life with. I'm so happy for you."

Wang Jingwan blushed.

"Thank you, Shengsheng."

The two chatted for the whole afternoon. Jiang Sheng wanted to invite her to dinner, but Wang Jingwan said she had an appointment with her fiancé in the evening, so Jiang Sheng gave up.

I took out the gift I brought for her and asked her to take it back.

next day

The Lu family had just finished their breakfast when they saw Lu Wenchuan walking in from outside with a smile.

Tan Shu asked softly

"Why are you so happy?"

Lu Wenchuan Road

“Mom, there’s a notice posted outside. The Xiao family is exiled today.”

Li Ling said bitterly

"What time do you think it is? I will prepare some more rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs to give to them."

"Second Aunt's idea coincides with mine. I looked at the time and they will be out of the prison in half an hour."

Zhao Chunwan stands next to Li Ling

"Second sister-in-law, I will go with you."

Ye Rong disagreed

"We have just returned to the capital, and we don't know how many eyes are watching us. We should not cause any more trouble."

Lu Xuan echoed

"Besides, if you really want to go, just let the kids go. Why do you elders have to join in the fun?"

Li Ling also knew that it was beneath her status, but she felt that it would not be enough to vent her anger if she severely punished them.

Jiang Sheng said

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Third Uncle, what you said makes sense. I think it would be better if I asked Yingqiu to hire more people and prepare all kinds of rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, sewage and so on. They will definitely not have an easy time. They will have to pass through the main street when they come out of the prison. I will have someone reserve a good window seat on the second floor of Jinweixuan. This way, they can watch without having to do it themselves. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Li Ling thought about it and thought it was a good idea.

"Then do as Shengsheng says."
