Chapter 198 Decisive battle against the high-ranking mistress (22)

The next day, when Jiang Muxue opened her eyes, she was stunned by the beauty of spring flowers and autumn moon.

The arm was pressed by Tang Li's arm, and after a long time, it felt a little sore and numb. Jiang Muxue looked at herself sleeping with her clothes on, and relaxed her vigilance a little.

I couldn't help but think of what Peng said that day, perhaps, this prince of Jiaodong is really infertile, and thinking of his appearance in a wheelchair, he guessed that this man is limp from the waist down.

If that's the case... my calculations that day were really not superfluous.

"Are you awake?" Tang Li opened his eyes when Jiang Muxue was deep in thought.

Jiang Muxue got up quickly, finished changing in a hurry, and came to wait for Tang Li to change.

With the experience of serving Lu Zongqian, she can do everything more smoothly now.

"No need, let them come." Tang Li refused Jiang Muxue's service, and Jiang Muxue nodded.

After the two groomed and washed, they immediately went to the main courtyard of the palace to meet King Jiaodong and Princess Jiaodong.

In a remote and barren place, the people raised are subtle and elegant. Princess Jiaodong is calm and gentle, with a clear and bright appearance. The sister-in-law standing beside Princess Jiaodong is like a spring onion, fresh and agile. The eyes are particularly lively.

Under Tang Li's guidance, Jiang Muxue paid homage one by one, offered tea, received the gift from her younger sister and nephew, and then the family had breakfast.

"Come here, Yaoyao, don't be polite, just treat this place as your own home. You southerners must have different tastes from us. I don't know what you like. I just asked the kitchen to make more food. Look at what you like. Just eat." After taking her seat, Princess Jiaodong looked at Jiang Muxue gently, and when she spoke, her voice was extremely gentle.

Jiang Muxue thanked her repeatedly.

The atmosphere of the meal was very good. Everyone saw that Jiang Muxue was relaxed and relaxed. During the dinner, Tang Li's sister Tang Jun enthusiastically explained the two dishes to Jiang Muxue, and Jiang Muxue ate them with great relish.

After dinner, Jiang Muxue took Funing and Caiping back to her Yuxiao Courtyard.

The population of the palace is simple, except for the direct lineage, there are few branch lineages. Considering that Jiang Muxue came all the way, Princess Jiaodong directly avoided her visit.

"You two have been depressed since morning, what's the matter?" Although Jiang Muxue was walking in front, she didn't miss Funing or Caiping.

"Miss, last night... last night..." Funing had something to say, but the topic was a bit difficult to talk about. Jiang Muxue glanced at her little eyes and immediately understood.

Turning around, he said solemnly to the two of them: "My son's health is not good. We guessed this matter from the beginning, but, as it turns out, we guessed it right. There is nothing to regret. You two should be careful. What, don't let me see you complaining or worrying."

The two servant girls took orders immediately.

For many days in a row, Tang Li went out early and returned late every day, resting in Jiang Muxue's room. The two of them were as polite as co-renters. Jiang Muxue did not show any abnormality. After a long time, Tang Li couldn't stand it anymore.

That night, he took the initiative to confess to Jiang Muxue that he was unconscious from the waist down.

Jiang Muxue said frankly, "I know this, the son doesn't need to explain."

Tang Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Madam didn't hear me clearly, I don't feel anything below the waist, that is to say..."

"That is to say, it is impossible for me to bear children for the eldest son in this life, right?" Jiang Muxue continued.

After a long time, Tang Li nodded.

However, looking at his expression, he was already so nervous that he couldn't help himself, Jiang Muxue's next words surprised him even more, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, since Yiyao left the house, she knew what the future holds."

"In other words, if you really blame yourself, you shouldn't have gone to the capital to seek marriage from the very beginning, right?"

The second sentence Jiang Muxue said on purpose, she wanted to stab the prince of Jiaodong to see how he would react.

The whole family is so polite, it's really a little timid.

"I'm sorry!" Tang Li buried his head deeply, "Born in the officialdom, I can't help myself."

"It's all involuntary. It's late at night, so my son should go to bed early."

After Jiang Muxue finished speaking, she fell asleep.

Tang Li looked at this strange face, savoring the strange yet familiar feeling this face brought him, and fell into doubt again.

……

Three months later, Jiang Muxue's reconnaissance of the Jiaodong Palace finally yielded some results.

It can be seen that her initial guess is true, often under the calmest sea, there are violent winds and huge waves hidden.

She found that King Jiaodong was secretly recruiting soldiers, and the scale of the training ground had already exceeded the norm.In addition, outside the city, there are a large number of various cold weapons hidden in several spots.

After getting the news, Jiang Muxue immediately woke up, and after a while, she closed her eyes and opened the imprint between her eyebrows.

"My lord, it's extremely urgent. I need to know who became the emperor after the previous Emperor Dezhao."

Jiang Muxue was gearing up for fear that the evil ghost king would not be there.

After waiting for a while, a leisurely voice came from over there, "It's such a big deal, why is it so urgent!"

Immediately, the information was passed to Jiang Muxue, and a certain woman was taken aback.

After the death of Emperor Dezhao, the current prince did not succeed to the throne smoothly. At that time, due to various reasons, there was great chaos in the court, the queen prince was killed, and the princes fought for power and profit, fighting constantly for the throne.

Afterwards, King Jiaodong led his army into Beijing with lightning speed, and clearly supported the sixth prince. Ten days later, the sixth prince succeeded to the throne and changed Yuan Deshun.

After the sixth prince succeeded to the throne, the world did not immediately stabilize. The defeated princes refused to accept and colluded with princes and kings from other places. With the support of King Jiaodong, it took Emperor Deshun three years to suppress the rebellion.

Afterwards, the King of Jiaodong made great contributions and was named Prince. The King of Jiaodong, who was originally the least favored by the court, was prominent for a while.

Jiang Muxue was shocked and even more confused by this news.

The original owner remembered about the sixth prince, and Jiang Muxue had heard a lot about it after he came. His biological mother was unknown, and he was raised by female officials and maids since he was a child. He was the most unpopular among all the princes.

Therefore, Jiang Muxue did not understand why the mighty King of Jiaodong would support the sixth prince who was least likely to succeed to the throne.

"Yaoyao, what are you thinking?"

Jiang Muxue's hand was suddenly grabbed, it was Tang Li.

"No, it's nothing." She changed her cross-legged posture, sweating out of panic.

She just didn't notice that normal people came in without a sound, but the one in front of her was a paralyzed person, and she didn't even hear the sound of the wheelchair rubbing the floor.

"You all go down, I have something to tell the princess."

When the two maids behind received the letter, they looked at each other, jumped up and disappeared in front of Jiang Muxue as if they were alive.

While being shocked, Jiang Muxue figured out how Tang Li came in quietly.

Then I glanced at him, it seemed that the topic he was going to talk about next was not easy.

"Can Yaoyao tell me, these days, why do you want to investigate things related to the government army quietly?"

Sure enough, Jiang Muxue stood up.
