Real Empress from a Noble Family Chapter 321 - An Attack with Hatred Caused a Dying Struggle

Chapter 321 An Attack with Hatred Caused a Dying Struggle

The family cemetery of Kuang s.h.i.+han and his father was dug up and the Empress Dowager’s party won’t ignore such a big thing. However, the Jiang Family deliberately obstructed them, so they were late. When Princess Changping arrived with empress’s decree against wind and snow, the coffin was already exposed in the sun.

Seeing all this, Princess Changping almost got mad. She said, “You people! How dare you do this? It’s going to last forever, isn’t it? ”

To be honest, Princess Changping had no deep feelings for her husband’s family, let alone her husband Kuang Qingwu. After all, her marriage was not only a political creation. Her husband, Kuang Qingwu, had ever promised a marriage with Commandery Princess Ningtai. Even if Kuang Qingwu later ruined that Commandery Princess to show his determination, no intelligent woman would trust this kind of a husband.

Besides her feelings, she had her own position to stick to. Afterall, the princess was the daughter-in-law of the Kuang Family, the wife of the first born.

Now Kuang s.h.i.+han and his father were not in Jing City. She was the only person of this family who was in charge. How could she not be angry when she saw what happened!

“Your highness, you misunderstood our intention.” No one of the Jiang Family took Princess Changping’s anger seriously. Jiang Yashuang was busy comforting his wife and he even didn’t want to reply the princess.

Only Jiang Yadan, who never lacked the mood to talk to a beautiful girl, came up to the princess with a playful smile and said, “The Kuang Family disturbed my younger sister-in-law’s grandfather, and then why can’t my younger sister-in-law take revenge on them to show her filial piety? You are being unreasonable!”

Princess Changping screamed, “Things have not been found out clearly. How can you be sure that it was my father-in-law and my husband who did that? Now the war in Xijiang is very intense and the country relies on my father-in-law to resist the invasion of the western savages. Do you want to destroy the defense by doing this?”

“Don’t be kidding, Your Highness!” Jiang Yadan looked at her from head to toe for a while, his eyes especially settling on her chest. He smiled and said, “The defender of the State is my grandfather. Kuang s.h.i.+han was not qualified for this t.i.tle. And how did the war with the western savages start? Do you think all the officials of the court are dead? ”

Hearing this, Princess Changping’s heart sank. She was not surprised that Jiang Yadan knew that the war with the western savages was deliberately initiated by Kuang s.h.i.+han to pave the way for her son. But Jiang Yadan said this directly! It meant clearly that they would not pretend to be friendly.

“Why is the Jiang Family so determined that Qiu Jinglan, who is only in his early twenties, can keep the war in the west under control?” No matter how small the war was, it was a war indeed. And the western savages were such a fierce race. They even had made up their minds about the rich Darui for a long time.

Although the scale of the war was small now, it was because the western savages did not see enough benefits.

If they found an opportunity, Xijiang would fall into an all-out war at any time. After all, the nomadic people were all soldiers and they were all cavalry. In the term of the time needed to prepare for war, they were rather faster than Darui.

Of course, it was a good time to invade Darui when the family cemetery of Kuang s.h.i.+han, the commander of the Western Army, was dug up.

What Jiang Yadan said and did meant that he didn’t take Kuang s.h.i.+han and his father seriously and also the war in Xijiang. Princess Changping couldn’t imagine why the Jiang Family was so confident.

“If it’s impossible to rely on Qiu Jinglan, then it is the old part of the Jiang Family.” Like Jiang Yashuang, the princess sent the suspicion of digging up the grave of General Ruan to the old part of the Ruan Family. “These people are sure to defend the invasion of the western savages and take advantage of the opportunity. How many of them are there? What are their positions? Although Kuang s.h.i.+han seems to be in a high position these years, has his power already been overhead? Otherwise, how dare those people dig Kuang’s family cemetery at this time? ”

Princess Changping was frightened at the thought that these people should be able to give up General Ruan’s grave to realize their purpose.

It was just not the time to be scared. As the daughter-in-law of the first born of the Kuang Family, how could she make peace with the Jiang Family after the family cemetery was insulted so much.

“Empress’s decree!” The princess’s stern voice rang out, which suppressed the wind and snow for a moment.

It was just that Princess Changping relied on Empress Dowager Gu’s decree to force the Jiang Family to make amends, restore the tombs to the original state, and then return to Jing City to get the punishment. Of course, the Jiang Family couldn’t agree. Not long after the deadlock between the two families, the Empress’ party’s support also arrived. “Her Majesty’s decree!”

In this way, there were decrees and bodyguards on both sides. However, Princess Changping came here alone in a hurry. She thought that most of the losses would be her own. So she had no choice but to accept Jiang Yashuang’s suggestion to settle this in Jing City.

The reason why Jiang Yashuang was willing to deal with this was that he worried about the health condition of Qiu Yelan.

After returning to Jing City, he accompanied his wife back to Marquess’s Mansion. As for the fight with Princess Changping, there was Jiang Yadan.

Qiu Yelan was really tired after all these things. She went back to the room and fell asleep.

She woke up after a day and night’s sleep. Su He, who was at the bedside, had blood in her eyes. However, when seeing her wake up, she was very excited. She waited on her to clean up and called for Chen Shui to carry cubilose for Qiu Yelan to eat at the same time.

Before Qiu Yelan ate up, Su He happily told her, “Young lady, the murderer of your Majesty has been found! Guess who? ”

“Is it from Empress Dowager Gu?” Qiu Yelan asked.

Su He immediately tooted her mouth and said, “It’s so boring that you hit the mark when you guess.” When she said that she was trampled on by Chen Shui, and then she remembered that General Ruan’s grave was dug two days ago. Even if it was good news, she shouldn’t have acted so relieved.

She then said seriously, “It was Your Highness Prince of Zhou.”

“Son kills father? Interesting. What’s going on? ” Qiu Yelan knew that Xue Chang would absolutely not give up this chance to frame Empress Dowager Gu, when the two empresses left this matter to the three premiers.

After all, Xue Chang himself could join hands with Jiang Tianao to win Tang Zimo, and the whole Empress’ party was on his side. If he couldn’t frame Empress Dowager Gu, it would be a big failure for him to be the leader of the neutral party for so many years.

But Qiu Yelan didn’t know what Xue chang would do. Now she heard that he chose Prince of Zhou, so she asked Su He to be more detailed.

“It is said that His Royal Highness Prince of Zhou has been dissatisfied with His Majesty’s intention to appoint the seventh prince as the crown prince!” A clear voice came from outside the door. Su He and Chen Shui quickly got up and greeted “Young Master.”

Jiang Yashuang was a little tired. He waved his hands to make them leave and sat on the side of the bed. He touched Qiu Yelan’s head and stopped worrying. He asked, ” How do you feel now?”

“Good. Did I have a fever at that time?” Qiu Yelan asked surprisedly.

“No, I’m just worried that you’re too tired to know when you’re sick.” Jiang Yashuang shook his head, “Eat some cubilose or it will get cold.”

Qiu Yelan scooped a silver spoon to her lips and urged: “Why did Prince of Zhou murder Your Majesty?”

“He not only planned to kill His Majesty, but also wanted to be the next emperor. For example, he imitated the predecessors to put the treasure of the world into the fish belly and got it for Prince of Zhou in the public eyes, and some of his men thought that a rare pearl of the night was good in the things that Grandpa Ruan was buried with.” Jiang Yashuang smiled softly and said, “Princess Zhou and Princess Changping have always been good friends. Princess Changping is the daughter-in-law of the Kuang Family. This is the whole story. Prime Minister Xue has already done this as a clear case.”

“So what about Empress Dowager Gu now?” Qiu Yelan ate the cubilose and asked with a little frown.

Jiang Yashuang stroked her long hair on her shoulder and said, “It’s just a dying struggle.”

Xue Chang waited and bore for such a long time to launch an attack. How could he give Empress Dowager Gu any chance to make a comeback?

In fact, both Qiu Yelan and Jiang Yashuang suspected that Prince of Zhou was not the scapegoat Xue Chang had originally prepared. Because of the fact that the tomb of General Ruan was dug, Xue Chang chose him as the breakthrough to take the two affairs together.

Now, Prince of Zhou wanted to murder the emperor with aims to be the next emperor; the Kuang Family dug the grave to help him. That meant the Kuang Family not only dug up the tomb of his foster father, but also partic.i.p.ated in the murder of Emperor.

Now any Darui people could kill the two in the Kuang Family and got a reward from the imperial court. The premise was that they didn’t run to the wrong place or the Empress Dowager’s party.

But it was not enough just to have a big name. Qiu Yelan said seriously, “How about Shazhou?”

“It’s just a few days. The news hasn’t been delivered. According to the latest news over there, brother is safe.” Jiang Yashuang frowned at this and said, “But the eighteenth brother-in-law…”

“What happened to him?” The most important thing for Qiu Yelan at present was the safety of Qiu Jinglan, but she also concerned about the safety of Qiu Feng. Hearing something wrong from Jiang Yashuang’s tone, she asked immediately.

Jiang Yashuang’s face was not very good. He said, “Jiang Qizheng said that she had received the news from brother’s subordinates. In order to rescue him, they cheated Jiang Qizheng and went to Shazhou. But this morning, my men sent a message saying that after chasing for these days, there was no trace of Qiu Feng’s westward journey. I suspect he went to the south!”

Qiu Yelan was astonished and asked, “How come?”

“And when I heard the news, I went to Ruan’s Mansion and asked Mr. Ruan.” Jiang Yashuang frowned. “Mr. Ruan was shocked when he heard that. He convened his men in front of me and finally confirmed that no one had ever gone to see the eighteenth brother-in-law.”

He pondered, “I didn’t see Mr. Ruan too often, but I didn’t think he was lying to me. Apart from other things, when brother was in Jing City, he had a close relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Qizheng and helped a lot. However, when he went west, Qiu Feng asked to go with him, but he was refused. In this case, how could brother let his subordinates go to Qiu Feng for help?”

He hid a word because he knew that Qiu Yelan and Qiu Feng were old friends. Although Qiu Feng was a great swordsman in the world and his martial arts were really very good, considering the situation in Shazhou, it wouldn’t work if he went there alone.

But it might knock him back. After all, he was the son-in-law of the Jiang Family. Therefore, he would be a distraction for protecting Qiu Jinglan.

This was not to belittle Qiu Feng. The war in Shazhou was not about the force of one or two people. In the final a.n.a.lysis, it was about intelligence and planning.

Qiu Feng was not stupid, but his character was not suitable for schemes.

Qiu Yelan thought about his words for a long time and murmured, “What does he mean?”

She knew more about Qiu Feng than Jiang Yashuang. Now Jiang Yashuang reminded that Qiu Feng didn’t go to the west, but to the South. Although Qiu Feng always followed Qiu Jinglan before, he didn’t like him. Qiu Yelan still didn’t know how Qiu Jinglan keep Qiu Feng around him, but Qiu Feng would not worry about Qiu Jinglan’s life and death this much, unless Qiu Jinglan left something behind to limit Qiu Feng.

Emotionally, Qiu Feng wouldn’t cheat his wife to help Qiu Jinglan because he was in danger.

In addition, Qiu Feng going to Shazhou might be a distraction. And it didn’t need a profound mind to figure this out. Qiu Yelan thought Qiu Feng could understand this without anyone’s persuasion or reminding and Qiu Feng knew the big picture. Even if he really wanted to help Qiu Jinglan, how could he make such a common-sense mistake?

But it was impossible that he deliberately harmed Qiu Jinglan. This man was aboveboard and disdained to conspire.

Thinking about it carefully, she a.s.sured herself that it was impossible for Qiu Feng to go to the West.

“Does he really want to avoid Jiang Qizheng?” Qiu Yelan suspected and bit her lips. She knew that before Qiu Feng got married, he tried to avoid Jiang Qizheng. The reason was that he didn’t know how to get along with the princess wife and the gap of the growing environment of the two made Qiu Feng uncomfortable about his marriage life.

“But is it necessary to lie, mislead and leave?” Qiu Yelan sighed and leaned on her husband’s shoulder, and then she said, “Qiu Feng, why do you become so bad after you get married?”
