Chapter 1245: Anxious
Translator: Lonelytree
Jiang Zhennan realized that His Majesty wanted to drag him down, but could he let that happen?
Jiang Zhennan looked at Lin Yuelan and immediately defended himself,” Yue ‘er, it’s not my fault. The Ninth Princess had a gold medal bestowed by the emperor. One had to know that seeing the token was like seeing the emperor.
In that case, how would my butler stop her?”
Jiang Zhennan emphasized the word “emperor”.
Obviously, he pushed all the responsibility back to His Majesty.
He did not want to anger Yue ‘er at all, so he could only let His Majesty be the villain.
However, the truth was just as he said. He could not be blamed for this.
Yuwen Longyan’s face darkened when he heard that. However, when he saw Lin Yuelan’s half-smile, he coughed twice and said,” This… I didn’t expect this either. I gave that gold medal to Ling ‘er a long time ago.”
“Your Majesty, why don’t you take back the token from her?” Jiang Zhennan said with conviction,” If you take back that token, then the butler in my residence has a reason to stop the Ninth Princess.”
He would not die alone!
It was better to let His Majesty bear Lin Yuelan’s anger for the incident with the ninth princess.
Lin Yuelan said lightly,” Oh, is that so? Your Majesty!”
Yuwen Longyan cursed in his heart, ‘I trusted him blindly.’ Then, he coughed and said, “This… How could I have thought that in order to enter the general’s manor, she would use the gold medallion that I gave her? That gold medallion can only be used three times.” She had used it once to enter the General’s
Estate.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Yes, it seems that the Ninth Princess is really willing to sacrifice her life for love. But speaking of which, ”
Lin Yuelan’s tone changed. She looked at Yuwen Longyan with an ambiguous look and said,” Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with the Ninth Princess? The Ninth Princess not only drugged Brother Nan, but she also hid the medicine in the Defender General’s Estate to frame him.’
Yuwen Longyan said seriously,” Girl, don’t worry! I will definitely give you an explanation for this!”
Although he doted on Yuwen Ling very much, as long as the big and small mistakes she made did not touch his bottom line, he would still dote on Yuwen Ling as usual.
However, this time, Yuwen Ling had indeed almost caused a huge disaster.
If Lin Yuelan hadn’t come to the capital in time to cure him of the Divine Illusion Poison, he might have lost a general, and the Longyan Kingdom would have lost a protector. Then, the neighboring countries that were intimidated by Jiang Zhennan would definitely be restless, and the country would be in danger. If that was the case, how could he face the ancestors of the Yuwen family?
Therefore, this time, he had to give Yuwen Ling a heavy punishment.
Hearing Yuwen Longyan’s promise, Lin Yuelan nodded.
Since the old Emperor had given her such words, she wouldn’t say anything more and point fingers at him. She believed that he would give her a satisfactory explanation.
As for Wen Yujing, who gave the medicine to Yuwen Ling, she was an accomplice in Zhou Dehong’s rebellion. Therefore, the Zhengguo Duke’s Manor could not escape punishment.
However, because Jiang Zhennan was the heir to the Zhengguo Duke’s estate, the Duke’s estate belonged to Jiang Zhennan.
What Lin Yuelan meant was to let her toy with Wen Yujing and the Duke’s estate first.
Jiang Zhennan followed Lin Yuelan blindly, so he naturally wouldn’t have any objections.
In his opinion, he would let her toy with the Defender General’s Estate unconditionally, let alone the Defender Duke’s Estate.
Yuwen Longyan’s mouth twitched when he heard Lin Yuelan’s words.
Since that was the case, he would treat it as a favor to Lin Yuelan and temporarily not deal with Wen Yujing and the Zhengguo Duke.
At the same time, he silently mourned for Jiang Yunfeng, his wife, and the Duke’s estate.
After settling some matters, Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan left the palace. However, the moment they left the palace, the entire palace was like boiling water that exploded.
Bang…
“Impossible. How could that bitch suddenly enter the palace?” Yuwen Ling smashed everything in the room into pieces.” B * tch, b * tch…” She kept calling her a b * tch as if she had gone crazy.
The moment Consort Liu De entered the room and saw Yuwen Ling’s crazy appearance, she immediately went forward and gave her a slap.
Yuwen Ling covered the right side of her face that had been slapped. She stared at Consort Liu De in disbelief.” Consort Mother, how could you hit me?”
Consort Liu looked as if she had expected better from her and said,” Look at you. For a man, you’ve lost your mind!”
Yuwen Ling, however, felt wronged as she cried and said,” Mother, I only like
Jiang Zhennan. Why doesn’t he like me?”
Consort Liu’s heart ached as she said,” My Ling ‘er is very beautiful. The people who want to marry you can circle the capital several times. That Jiang Zhennan didn’t marry you because he had no taste.” Then, she smoothed Yu Wenling’s messy hair and sighed.” But Ling ‘er, that Jiang Zhennan is a jinx. How can he be worthy of you?”
Yuwen Ling shook her head and said,” Mother, I don’t care. I want to marry Jiang Zhennan. Otherwise, I’d rather die!”
When Consort Liu De heard this, she was so angry that her face turned ashen. However, when she saw Yuwen Ling’s stubborn appearance, she immediately sighed,” Alright! Imperial Mother will help you!”
Yuwen Ling smiled through her tears and said to Consort Liu De,” Thank you, Mother!”
However, Consort Liu was not optimistic.
The Imperial Palace had just experienced a conspiracy to force the abdication of the throne, and Jiang Zhennan had also been framed. Consort Liu De looked at Yuwen Ling, who was crying and laughing, with a complicated gaze.
She thought to herself, ‘I hope Your Majesty won’t take issue with Ling’ er’s ignorance. Otherwise, it’ll be really bad!’
Duke Zhengguo’s Mansion
When Wen Yujing heard that Noble Consort Zhou and Zhou Dehong had failed in their attempt to force the abdication, she paced back and forth restlessly in her room.
Then, she heard that Jiang Zhennan had come out of prison safe and sound and that he was still the Defender General, and that the emperor had removed the seal on the General’s Estate.
Thinking of this, Wen Yujing kept pinching her thighs with both hands. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she kept saying,” How could I fail? How could that bastard’s luck be so good? How could he still walk out of prison even in such a state!”
At this point, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes were filled with uneasiness and fear.” Now that the bastard is out, will His Majesty continue to investigate the medicine?”
If they traced it back to her, then…
Wen Yujing didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.
However, she then remembered that she had asked Yuwen Ling to hide the poison in Jiang Zhennan’s study. Therefore, if the Emperor wanted to pursue medicine, the first person to blame should be the ninth princess.
However, His Majesty doted on the Ninth Princess the most. Therefore, in order to protect the Ninth Princess, he would definitely not let anyone investigate.
After figuring this out, Wen Yujing felt slightly relieved!
