Chapter 1319 - 1319: Zhengguo Duke’s Estate Collapses
Translator: Lonelytree
“But I think not only is Consort Liu unwilling, Yuwen Ling is even more unwilling. Otherwise, they wouldn’t force you to marry her!
“However, I think that the marriage alliance is Yuwen Lings true ending!’
Jiang Zhennan said,” Ling ‘er, are you worried that they are playing tricks before the marriage?”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” That’s right!’
Jiang Zhennan teased,” Hehe, if they really want to play tricks, then I can only pity them!” His Yue ‘er was invincible!
Box
Lin Yuelan found it funny.” You’re getting better at joking. Sigh, speaking of which, I thought I could go to the Duke’s estate to play, but it’s a pity…” There was nothing to play with.
Zhengguo Duke’s Estate
“The imperial edict has arrived!” A sharp voice came from outside the residence.
Jiang Yunfeng, Wen Yujing, and the others who were resting in the room frowned when they heard the report from the servants and the imperial edict.
Recently, this imperial edict had come too frequently!
And every imperial edict was never good!
Then why this time?
Could it be that he was here to stand up for Jiang Zhennan again?
When Jiang Yunfeng, Wen Yujing, and the others came out to receive the imperial edict and saw the soldiers displayed on both sides of Eunuch Zhang, they immediately had a bad feeling.
Wasn’t this imperial edict a little too much?
After they came out, Eunuch Zhang looked around and asked,” Zhengguo Duke’s Estate, is everyone in residence here?”
Jiang Yunfeng was stunned for a moment before he gave the butler a look.
The butler stood up and said to Eunuch Zhang,” Replying to Eunuch Zhang, other than Eldest Miss, who is not in the room, Second Young Mistress is in the backyard and has not come out!”
Eunuch Zhang said,” The eldest daughter of the Jiang family is in front of His
Majesty. As for your second young mistress, please invite her out!”
When his words fell, the butler sent someone to call Second Young Mistress Zeng Yanli out!
When they heard Eunuch Zhang say that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was in front of the Emperor, everyone’s heart skipped a beat. They thought to themselves, Could it be that Wen’ er has captured the Emperor’s attention?”
In an instant, some people were happy, such as Jiang Yunfeng. Ever since Jiang Zhennan returned, coupled with Wen Yujings pillow talk, he had been worried that his title would be taken away by him.
If Wen ‘er could obtain the Emperor’s favor now, then as long as Wen’ er could whisper in the Emperor’s ear, perhaps that unfilial son would lose his favor.
At that time, he would not be able to return to the Duke’s estate, let alone come back to snatch the title from him.
The more Jiang Yunfeng thought about it, the happier he became. He even wondered if Jiang Wen would be promoted to one of the four imperial concubines. At that time, his Zhengguo Duke’s Estate would be infinitely glorious!
As for the people who were unhappy, it was obvious that they were Wen Yujing and Butler Jiang Suping.
It could be said that they were even more worried!
After all, she was his daughter. Even if she could really enter the Emperor’s eyes, the Emperor was already almost 60 years old. It could be said that he was about to die and could leave at any time.
According to the custom in the palace when the emperor passed away, the concubines without children, other than the concubines that the Emperor had arranged to stay in the palace, were either arranged to become monks in the nunnery or buried with the emperor.
Therefore, even if there were good days and wealth, they would not be able to enjoy it for long!
A moment later, Zeng Yanli rushed over with her servant maids!
When Eunuch Zhang saw that everyone had arrived, he began to read out the imperial edict!
“After investigation, the Duke of the State, Jiang Yunfeng, ordered people to spread rumors that would damage the reputation of the royal family. The crime of offending the dignity of the royal family should be punished. However, I remember the merits of the ancestors of the Duke of the State, and demote the Duke of the State, Jiang Yunfeng, to a commoner and take back the plaque of the Duke of the State.
“The Jiang family of the Duke of the State had colluded with the traitor Zhou
Dehong. They had used the Ninth Princess Yuwen Lings love to hide poison in the study room of the Great General and frame the Great General Jiang Zhennan. This was the crime of the Jiang family!
“Wen Yujing will be executed for her crimes!
“The butler, Jiang Suping, has committed the crime of participating in rebellion and spreading rumors and slander. He will be punished for his crimes!
“His son, Jiang Zhenye, committed the crime of participating in the rebellion, and his crime will be executed!
“His daughter Jiang Wen, who has committed the crime of spreading rumors and slander, will be executed!
“All those who participated in the rebellion and spread rumors in the Zhengguo Duke’s Estate will be killed!
“The rest of the people from the Zhengguo Duke’s Estate, on account of their innocence, only will be exiled!”
After Eunuch Zhang finished reading the imperial edict, he said to Jiang Yunfeng, “Jiang Yunfeng, you were supposed to be beheaded on account of treason too. But the Great General pleaded for mercy, using his many years of meritorious service to exchange for the lives of the entire Jiang family.. Only those who participated in the rebellion will be beheaded!”
