Chapter 390 Pillow style
Princess Yuqing took her daughter and slipped away.
He left behind a sentence before leaving.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, you still need to investigate carefully. Don't let the wanted criminal infiltrate the manor and impersonate your concubine. If you don't know what Jiang Zijin looks like, I can have someone send you a few portraits."
Prince Chen's face was ashen, and he clenched his fists without saying a word.
Jiang Zijin hid beside Prince Chen, her lips tightly pressed together, her hands clenched tightly inside her sleeves, the stinging pain in her palms a constant reminder to her.
Stay calm and composed.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I know her. I would recognize her even if she were ashes." Princess Chen said through gritted teeth, staring intently at Jiang Zijin.
They scrutinized him from top to bottom, not even missing a single hair.
Is this person really Jiang Zijin?
She must have been blind to consider Jiang Zijin a close friend.
But this woman actually took advantage of her, deceived her, and spread rumors about Lu Zhiyun in her name.
This person is cunning, selfish, and vicious; he's a source of trouble.
She must never stay by the prince's side.
She earnestly advised Prince Chen, "Your Highness, Consort Lan is Jiang Zijin, that wanted criminal. We absolutely cannot let her stay in the manor any longer, as she will implicate you. Please heed my advice, Jiang Zijin is a menace and cannot be allowed to live."
Prince Chen shook off her arm. "Stop talking nonsense. This is not a place for you. Go back."
Princess Chen still didn't want to give up and continued, "Your Highness, don't you think about it? Which of the people around Jiang Zijin has had a good ending? Her maternal grandfather's family, her mother, they're all dead! Even her own brother has become a monk. And Zhou Mu, who was obsessed with her, was a promising young man, but now he doesn't study anymore, he drinks all day and keeps saying he wants to become a monk. He's completely ruined."
"Your Majesty..."
"Slap..." With a crisp slap, Princess Chen was knocked to the ground.
"Shut up! Guards, take the princess back!" Prince Chen roared in fury.
He wouldn't allow anyone to humiliate Jin'er like that.
Looking at Jiang Zijin, who was in his arms with tears in her eyes, he was full of tenderness, but he wouldn't even give Princess Chen a glance.
Princess Consort Chen covered her face and sneered, "Your Highness, even if you kill me now, you can't shut Princess Yuqing up. Believe me, if you don't hand this woman over, the news that your concubine has become a wanted criminal will soon spread throughout the capital and may even reach Father Emperor's ears."
Since you won't listen to advice, let's just die together in the gutter.
Princess Consort Chen is somewhat naive, but she's not stupid.
If I was still a little unsure before, now seeing Chen Wang's reaction...
The person behind this mask is undoubtedly Jiang Zijin.
People outside are saying that Jiang Zijin recently ran away from the Sansheng Temple.
But she felt that perhaps they had already run away.
Or perhaps the dancer who saved the prince and was disfigured was merely a cover, so that she could keep Jiang Zijin openly by her side.
It's ridiculous.
She had previously thought this girl was beautiful and kind-hearted, and that she liked to talk to her privately whenever she had free time.
Think about it now.
She might have already been involved with the prince.
Princess Chen slumped to the ground, tears welling in her eyes as she forced a bitter smile.
"Foolish woman, whose side are you on? The thing I regret most in my life is marrying you," Prince Chen scolded.
He ordered that Princess Chen be taken back to the palace and confined to her quarters.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Princess Yuqing.
Jiang Zijin was still recovering from her illness, and this shock and anxiety caused her to collapse into Prince Chen's arms.
Prince Chen disregarded everything else, picked her up and strode towards the bedroom, saying, "Jin'er, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I won't let anything happen to you."
She wrapped her arms around Prince Chen's neck. "Your Highness, please send me away now. Just find someone to replace me."
She knew very well that Princess Chen's words, though rough, were reasonable.
Perhaps the moment Princess Yuqing steps out, the soldiers will come to arrest her.
But it's not a big deal.
After all, Princess Yuqing hadn't caught them in the act and hadn't seen the face behind the mask.
As soon as possible, find someone of similar stature to her.
Wearing this mask, she became Consort Lan of Prince Chen.
Who can do anything about her?
After the rain, the sky clears up.
The air was filled with the fragrance of earth.
Princess Yuqing and Miaomiao were in high spirits throughout the journey, as they were ready to fly kites.
I just don't know if the autumn wind can make it fly.
On the way to meet up with my father.
Miao Miao asked the princess, "Mother, why don't we just report her to the authorities and have Jiang Zijin arrested? What if she escapes?"
Princess Yuqing smiled and said, "It won't be easy to capture her on the spot. There are many experts in that villa. If we act rashly, what if they become desperate and do something rash?"
"When can we expose her?"
"Let her enjoy herself for a few more days. We'll play with her and then deal with her at the palace banquet in a few days."
"A palace banquet? Can I go?" Miao Miao looked at her princess mother with anticipation.
I just said she's my mother's adopted daughter, so it shouldn't be a problem to take her out into the light.
The key point is that she has never been to the palace before, so she is quite curious.
In the palace.
After seeing the sachet her mother had sewn, Zhen Meiren could no longer sit still.
She was distressed, clutching the petals in her hand.
He racked his brains trying to figure out how to bring this up with the Emperor.
The emperor was naturally suspicious, and this was a prince's family matter, which had nothing to do with her, a mere concubine.
The Prince of Pianchen was about to give her such an outrageous task.
It's so embarrassing.
She didn't want to lose her life so soon.
But their parents are still in their hands...
At dinner time.
Consort Zhen dined with the Emperor.
She casually recounted her recent observations, saying, "Yesterday, I heard something very interesting from Consort Chen. Would Your Majesty like to hear it?"
"My beloved concubine, tell me what you think." Emperor Xuan put down his chopsticks and looked at the innocent and romantic young girl opposite him with great interest.
In his youth, he was also a diligent and capable emperor.
He even personally led countless expeditions.
Today, the world is at peace, and the people live and work in contentment, with only occasional disturbances from foreign enemies on the border.
But these were all minor incidents.
But his hair had turned white, and he had grown old!
But he refuses to accept his age and now just wants to do whatever he wants.
Throughout history, no emperor has been able to accept aging gracefully; all of them desired immortality.
They even dreamed of becoming immortals.
He knew he couldn't become an immortal, nor did he want to; he just wanted to live a few more years.
He enjoyed watching Jane eat; she seemed to enjoy her food very much.
Unlike him, who spent most of his life as emperor and ate all kinds of delicacies, now he finds everything tasteless.
They also had to constantly worry about being poisoned.
He also enjoyed listening to Consort Zhen talk about her daily life, such as cats and dogs fighting, and sometimes palace maids and eunuchs arguing.
He also enjoys having Zhen Meiren play chess with him.
Even though her chess skills were terrible, not even half as good as Consort Zhen's.
Emperor Xuan saw the shadow of Consort Zhen in Consort Zhen, which made him feel like he had returned to his childhood.
I recalled all the moments I spent with Consort Zhen.
Being with young women makes me feel younger too.
