C79

A daughter was carried into the Crown Prince's Palace.

A daughter was sent to the palace.

His other daughter was preparing to go to the Seventh Prince's Estate.

Imperial Concubine Cui pondered over the situation, feeling that the Jiang Clan was really good at scheming.

Everyone who had the slightest understanding of the Bureau knew that even though His Majesty had conferred the title of Crown Prince to the son of the late Empress, Xiao Rui, he preferred Imperial Concubine Cui's womb to the seventh prince, who was only a year younger than the crown prince, Xiao Rui.

As a result, back then when Empress Kang Yi was still alive, she had been rather fearful of Xiao Rui, and she even suppressed and killed all of the sons of her concubines.

Fortunately, Imperial Concubine Cui had placed many restrictions on her son. It was only after the death of Empress Kang Yi that Xiao Rui finally revealed a talent that was far superior to that of the crown prince, allowing him to gain the heart of the emperor.

The Martial Emperor had even said "this kid is very kind" to Long Xin on various occasions.

Slowly, peculiar sounds started to sound out in the imperial court. It was not impossible that Emperor Jianwu would pass the throne to Seventh Prince Xiao Rui.

The strangest thing was that after the emperor heard the rumours, he accepted it as he wished. That caused the officials to be even more terrified, and some even secretly stood in groups.

On the surface, everyone looked friendly and friendly, but in the dark, they had already separated the princes' faction and the seventh prince's faction …

Because of Jiang Yu, the Jiang family had long been branded as a son of the Crown Prince.

But now, if they sent another person to the Seventh Prince's estate, could it be that they were planning on having a double whammy?

All these years, because of the war between the two parties, Jiang Chuanxiao, the Grand Scholar of the Wen Yuan Pavilion, had long been like fire and water with her younger brother, the Minister of Rites.

Not to mention that they had now extended their hands into her territory in an attempt to shake her position.

If that was the case, how could he let the Jiang family succeed?

She obviously didn't want Jiang Wan to enter the palace. She wasn't unfamiliar with the story of Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hodor working together to harm the harem.

But if that Jiang Wan was eliminated, just based on her face that resembled Fang Qingqing's, she couldn't guarantee that her son wouldn't directly take her back.

So, the best way to solve that was to point Jiang Wan at someone. After all, he would still have to consider the matter of that person stealing another's wife again.

As she thought of this, a trace of coldness flashed across Imperial Concubine Cui's face. She looked coldly at Feng Jing and asked, "Are there any princes of appropriate age that haven't gotten married yet?"

When Feng Jing heard this, he knew the opportunity had come.

He pretended to be lost in thought for a while before saying, "The Seventh Prince born by esteemed wangfei will be sixteen this year, but esteemed wangfei already promised esteemed wangfei that her uncle's daughter would be given to Seventh Prince. Even the secondary concubine was chosen according to esteemed wangfei's wishes. If this were to happen …"

It would be very troublesome!

Imperial Concubine Cui didn't want to waste too much time and effort on a little assistant minister's daughter.

"However …" Feng Jing looked like he wanted to say something, but stopped himself. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Imperial Concubine Cui looked at him with dissatisfaction, then said faintly, "Even you're starting to play tricks with me?"

"How would this servant dare?" Feng Jing said with fear and trepidation, "I was just thinking about Prince Jin's heir, Xiao Rui …" "He seems to be around eighteen this year …"

Prince Jin's heir?

In Imperial Concubine Cui's mind, a tall and thin figure and a face that was devoid of blood all year round appeared.

"The sickly one?" She was very surprised that Feng Jing would actually mention this person to her. "If I remember correctly, he seems to have already killed three wives …"

"Empress, how can you say that Prince Jin's son has died? It was clearly those girls' blessings that weren't enough, they didn't have such huge blessings! " Feng Jing was sweating profusely in his heart as he carefully tried to persuade Ye Zichen otherwise.

When Imperial Concubine Cui heard this, her face darkened for the whole night. Finally, a smile appeared on her face. "Then tell me, does that girl have such a blessing?"

"This... "This servant doesn't know …" Feng Jing saw the smile on Imperial Concubine Cui's face and bowed even deeper.

The second beat of the drum came from the top of the clock tower.

Jiang Wan, who was full of worries, couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

She simply sat up, took her shoes, picked up a palace fan, and went to sit on a chair by the desk, fanning herself.

It got hotter and hotter after noon, and the carved windows next to the desk were always open so the wind could blow in.

Jiang Wan was lazily lying on the table. Listening to the insects outside the window, not only did she not feel at peace, instead, she felt even more frustrated.

"Are you waiting for me?" Suddenly, Xiao Rui's voice appeared by his side without any warning, causing him to fall into a thick chest.

Xiao Rui buried her face in Jiang Wan's neck and took a deep breath.

At the same time, Jiang Wan's heart sped up.

"Results... "How is it …" she asked worriedly.

Xiao Rui didn't reply to her, but hugged her tightly in her embrace, her warm lips lightly sipping on Jiang Wan's tight and slender neck.

One, one, it made Jiang Wan's entire body go numb.

For some reason, Jiang Wan felt that the people behind her were holding back.

In his previous life, when he found out that he could not easily take her away from the Imperial Palace, he did the same thing.

Could it be that in this life …

Jiang Wan's heart sank bit by bit.

Was there still fate in his life?

Thinking of the little drops between them in his previous life, his tears started to flow without any warning.

With tears in her eyes, Jiang Wan turned around and looked at Xiao Rui through the window.

His eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

Jiang Wan reluctantly extended her hand and touched his cheek. Then, without any warning, she covered her lips with his.

It was just as he remembered, warm and soft.

It was enough for them to still be able to meet him in this life.

Jiang Wan consoled herself in her heart, tears overflowing her eyes just like that.

"Wan Wan!" Xiao Rui called out to her in surprise, before picking her up by the waist.

Jiang Wan sucked in a breath of cold air, quickly wrapping herself around Xiao Rui's neck. She looked into his eyes with a face full of fear, yet she could feel the heat that came from her previous life.

Seeing such a gaze, she realized that she was actually unable to refuse.

She rested her head on his shoulder and let him carry her to the bed.

Jiang Wan resigned herself to her fate and closed her eyes. Tonight, no matter what he wanted to do to her, she would be unwilling to refuse right?

Just like that, Jiang Wan closed her eyes and felt him gently put her down, then lightly cover her again …

"Wan, my Wan!" Xiao Rui said in a low voice as she gently bit her ear, "You, this little thing, will finally belong to me."
