When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down
Chapter 16: Confession
The original identity of a cousin was very embarrassing in the family. It was difficult to arrange marriage. She was neither high nor low. Yan Li's mother was a woman who had secretly married someone. She had a bad reputation more than ten years ago. Therefore, when Yan Li was fostered in the Taifu Mansion, the Jiang family never treated her as a family member, even the grandchildren of the Jiang family never loved Jiang Jingyue.
Even if Yan Li was bullied or ridiculed outside, they never protected her.
Later, Yan Li gradually stopped going out of the house and stayed in her own small courtyard, quietly waiting for the unknown fate.
Who would have thought that the prince's cancellation of the marriage would actually push her to the forefront. Originally, Mu Xiuhan wanted Yan Li to swallow the humiliation of being wronged and cancel the marriage obediently. After a while, when the wedding date came, he would marry Jiang Jingyue, the daughter of the Jiang family, into the East Palace as the crown princess, and the matter would be a complete success.
Who knew that the Jiang family would not give up and attack Yan Li, and even alarmed his father. Not only did it cause Mu Xiuhan to be punished, but also made the only wedding in this life feel uncomfortable and aggrieved, without even a decent ceremony, and also made her suffer such a severe punishment.
Mu Xiuhan turned his head and looked at the embarrassed Jiang Jingyue. Seeing that her face was pale and haggard, her skin was dry, and her lips, which used to be delicate and beautiful, were dry and peeling. How could she still look gentle and lovely?
A feeling of disgust arose spontaneously.
"Your Highness?" Jiang Jingyue noticed Wang's gaze, turned her head, and saw Wang's sinister expression, and said uneasily, "What...what happened?"
Mu Xiuhan retracted his gaze, and said indifferently: "Nothing."
Jiang Jingyue's heart trembled, and the hand holding the brush suddenly clenched.
...
Yan Li's influence was not only unexpected by Mu Xiuhan, but also by the Jiang family.
Since Yan Li was brought into the palace by the emperor and Jiang Jingyue was taken into the palace for the second time, Luo asked people to inquire about her daughter's situation in the palace every day. She originally thought that even if the wedding was not so grand, there would definitely be an imperial decree from the palace afterwards. However, a few days passed, and nothing happened. Everything was calm.
Luo's uneasiness was deepening, and she chased Jiang Yunming every day to find out the news.
But the person who is most likely to get information from the Jiang family is actually Jiang Taifu, who is one of the three highest officials and stands at the front row every time he attends court. However, Taifu has no real power and most of the time he quietly listens to the emperor and the ministers discussing matters, but this does not prevent him from judging the emperor's mood at the time.
After not seeing the prince for several consecutive times, Jiang Taifu already had a bad feeling in his heart. On the first day, he thought that the prince was on leave because he was newly married, so he suppressed his worry and did not ask more questions. On the second day, the emperor was in a bad mood, so he lowered his eyebrows and eyes and did not ask more questions. On the third day, he thought that the prince would return home with the princess, so he did not ask more questions.
However, after returning home from court, he found that the mansion was quiet, and then he realized that he had not returned home at all.
Moreover, there was no joy in the palace these days. It was as quiet as if the wedding did not exist. Every day when he went to court and left court, Master Jiang would always notice that his colleagues looked at him differently. He thought it was caused by Yan Li. On the fourth day, he learned that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were ordered by the Emperor to go to Fengyi Palace every day to pay respects and kneel down to copy scriptures in Fengyi Palace. Their life was miserable, and Master Jiang felt depressed.
After returning home, she sat in the study in a gloomy mood. Jiang Yunming and Luo came to ask about it, and then they learned that her daughter was not doing well. Luo said coldly: "It must be that evil Yan Li who instigated in front of the emperor."
"Father, what should we do now?" Jiang Yunming frowned, "Jingyue being punished for a few days is a small matter, if the emperor hates the Jiang family, it will be a big deal."
The prince got married, but there was not even a wedding ceremony. If the Jiang family did not hold a wedding, they would be laughed at by the officials.
The most urgent thing is to calm the emperor down, otherwise...
"Tomorrow I will go and apologize to the emperor, and bring Yan Li back." Master Jiang said, looking up at Luo, "You should be nicer to Yan Li in the future, and coax her more. If she can speak to the emperor, the emperor may calm down sooner."
Luo subconsciously felt disgusted when she heard this, and then she thought of the scene when Yan Li went crazy, and she couldn't help shuddering.
That little bitch suddenly got the strength, and beat so many servants without any resistance, and even she almost died in the hands of that little bitch...Why do you want her to smile to Yan Li?
Luo thought coldly, wait until Jingyue becomes the queen, and see how that little bitch dies.
Master Jiang sat for a while, feeling uneasy, and quickly stood up and ordered: "Prepare the carriage, and go to the palace to apologize now."
Jiang Yunming hurriedly said: "Father, can I go with you?"
"No need."
Master Jiang walked out, and soon took a carriage into the palace and arrived at the imperial study.
Emperor Zhao was reviewing memorials in the imperial study. When he heard that Master Jiang wanted to see him, he calmly ordered, "Let Master come in."
"Yes."
Master Jiang knelt down as soon as he entered the imperial study: "This old minister is ashamed and has no face to face His Majesty."
"Master, please stand up." Emperor Zhao glanced at him and turned around and ordered, "Give Master a seat."
"This old minister dare not." Master Jiang declined. "This old minister is ashamed of the emperor's trust. I feel ashamed and blame myself. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Emperor Zhao put down the memorial and said lightly, "I remember that I told Master to take good care of Yan Li."
"Yes." Master Jiang leaned over. "This old minister has always taken care of Yan Li as his own granddaughter, and he is as strict with her as Jingyue. When the incident happened, I was overwhelmed by anger and made a stupid decision. I am ashamed of the emperor's trust and I am guilty of leaving Yier."
When Jiang Yi was mentioned, Emperor Zhao had a complex expression on his face. Looking at the old man in front of him, there was a truth that almost came to his lips, but he didn't say it out loud.
Teacher Jiang said with guilt: "I want to take Yan Li back and compensate her well."
Compensation?
Emperor Zhao didn't believe that the Jiang family would give her any compensation. Yan Li was splashed with dirty water in the Jiang family. The prince was an insider in this matter. Jiang Yunming and Luo were the main messengers. Teacher Jiang could never be innocent. M.
We know what their intentions are.
But Yan Li grew up in the Jiang family after all. Yan Li's mother Jiang Yi is the biological daughter of the teacher in front of him. The blood relationship cannot be erased.
Besides, it is not a long-term plan for Yan Li to live in the palace.
Emperor Zhao pondered. If they were willing to treat Yan Li well, it would not be impossible to let Yan Li go back. He could give them a chance to see how the Jiang family would perform next.
"Yan Li's injuries have improved a lot in the past two days. Let her stay in the palace for two more days to recuperate." Emperor Zhao said lightly, "If she is willing, she can go back at the end of the month."
"Yes." Jiang Taifu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in response, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
