Song Yirou lived in her parents' home and refused to return to the palace, so the Prince of Ningxia brought his concubine to humiliate her. This was simply a way of tearing apart the relationship.
Everyone said, "After such a mess, the two of them have no choice but to divorce."
"If you want to talk about this, it's the Song family's fault. How can they let a married woman live in her parents' home forever?"
"The King of Ningxia favors his concubine and kills his wife. Is that right?"
"Men are all like that, lustful and lecherous. It's just that Song is too hot-tempered."
"That's right, there's no point in fussing over stuff."
All in all, the King of Ningxia was wrong, but Song Yirou was more wrong.
Jiang Changning would have forgotten about this. Whether Song Yirou divorced or not had no effect on her. As long as she was still the Princess of Jin, Song Yirou would never be able to take away this position.
Even if Song Yirou was willing to become a concubine for "love", even if she could agree to let Song Yirou marry into the family, Prince Jin and the Song family would not agree.
Song Yirou is just a clown, her schemes and tricks are nothing to be feared.
"Since it wasn't our people who caused her to fall off the horse and get injured, let's investigate Princess Yu." Jiang Changning ordered.
She thought about it for a few days and roughly guessed that Zhao Xifang was still involved in the affairs of the Wende Earl's Mansion despite her busy schedule, and that it might be related to her.
Although she didn't understand why Zhao Xifang had an inexplicable hostility towards her, if Zhao Xifang was like this to an innocent person like her, would she show mercy to Song Yirou
Especially knowing that it was Song Yirou who made it difficult for her to have children in the future, Zhao Xifang was too merciful by not taking Song Yirou's life.
Jiang Changning really hoped that it was Zhao Xifang who did it, so that she could let Song Yirou and Zhao Xifang fight each other, and she could watch the show peacefully.
At the end of September, Jiang Changning received a letter from Prince Jin, saying that he would return to Beijing soon, and at the end of the letter was still a love poem.
Jiang Changning was filled with joy, "I'm finally coming back."
Prince Jin had been gone for several months, and she really missed him. Most importantly, she was about to give birth, and she hoped he could be by her side.
The palace also knew that the Prince of Jin was about to return to the capital. The emperor was furious. "Didn't they say that he was shot by several arrows and was seriously injured and difficult to recover? How come he is returning to the capital safely?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think there is a problem with the secret report." The man in black replied.
"No matter what the problem is, I don't want to see him again and he cannot return to the capital." The emperor said murderously.
"I understand. I will arrange for people to ambush him on his way back to Beijing and will bring his head back to Your Majesty." The man in black said in a deep voice.
"Don't let me down again." The emperor raised his hand.
"I'll take my leave." The man in black jumped out of the open window and disappeared into the night in a moment.
At this time, the King of Jin was changing his dressings. That night, he suddenly became alert and put on soft armor. An arrow hit him, but his injury was not serious.
It would make people misunderstand that he was seriously injured and that they were trying to lure out the person who was trying to assassinate him.
"Your Highness, the people have been arranged." Cao Jiang came in and said.
"Okay, I will leave at dawn tomorrow. You stay with that man and protect him." King Jin said as he put on his clothes.
"Your Highness, please be careful." Chang Youzhong and Cao Jiang are both important figures around Prince Jin. They cannot disappear and arouse suspicion.
They could not follow Prince Jin into the capital secretly, as another group of people would accompany Prince Jin.
"You should be careful too." Prince Jin said in a deep voice.
If the emperor is still determined to kill him, the journey back to the capital will be extremely dangerous.
Jiang Changning didn't know that Prince Jin had escaped and returned to the capital. She was sitting in the corridor with Yan Yinyao, chatting while watching Princess Kang Ren, Zeng Mi, and the little maids playing with flower balls.
"In about twenty days, I will be able to see my little nephew." Yan Yinyao said with a smile and anticipation in his eyes.
"Yeah, it's finally time to unload the goods." Jiang Changning rubbed his sore waist and changed his sitting position.
Yan Yinyao chuckled, and when she saw Fangju coming over with food, she asked, "What is it?"
"Madam Cui, are you arguing with the Ruyi roll? We had the Ruyi three-strand roll for lunch yesterday." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
Fang Ju explained, "Mrs. Cui said that the Gold and Silver Ruyi Roll is different from the Ruyi Three-Thread Roll. Although they are both in the shape of a Ruyi, the Ruyi Three-Thread Roll is a vegetable roll with seasonal vegetables and meat inside. This is a small one."
The gold and silver Ruyi roll, with one layer of golden and one layer of snow-white, is rolled into a Ruyi shape, like auspicious clouds in the sky, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
"Good luck, everything goes well, everything goes well, everything goes well, everything goes well, everything goes well, everything goes well." Yan Yinyao smiled, "Kang Ren, Mi'er, stop playing, wash your hands and eat."
Princess Kangren led Zeng Mi over and, upon seeing the gold and silver Ruyi scroll, she said, "This dessert is so beautiful."
Jiang Changning smiled and said, "Although the taste of food is the most important, if it doesn't look good, no one will want to eat it. For example, this walnut sesame paste is black, so I don't really want to eat it."
"Walnuts moisten the lungs and intestines, black sesame seeds benefit the blood and promote lactation. They are all good things. Cousin, don't be picky about food. Eat quickly." Yan Yinyao said with a smile.
"Aunt, Kang Ren will eat with you."
Zeng Mi followed suit, "Cousin, Mi'er will eat with you too."
"These two babies are so good."
After eating a bowl of walnut sesame paste and two small Ruyi rolls, Jiang Changning, who had a big belly, felt bloated. "Shu Fei, help me up. I want to walk to help digest the food."
Jiang Changning spent her pregnancy days very comfortably. In the blink of an eye, it was September 28th. After taking a bath, Jiang Changning went to bed to rest.
When I was half asleep, I suddenly felt someone get on the bed. I was startled and woke up instantly. "Who?"
"Don't be afraid, Ning'er, it's me."
Jiang Changning was surprised by the familiar voice, "Prince!"
Didn’t the news that came in say that it would take five days to arrive
How did he suddenly appear in her bed
"He's very big." Prince Jin said, touching her belly.
"It's almost full term, so it's getting big." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work these days." Prince Jin kissed her on the cheek.
Jiang Changning said in a tender voice: "You know how hard I've worked, so please love me more."
"When he comes out, I will treat you well." Prince Jin bit her earlobe and said softly.
"Your Highness, don't tease me." Jiang Changning shrank aside.
Prince Jin came close to her and said, "Ning'er, listen to me. I returned to the capital in secret."
"I asked Xiulan and Xiaochun to guard outside the door and not let anyone in." Jiang Changning said immediately.
"I will leave early tomorrow morning and will not stay in the mansion. Soon you will hear the news that I have been murdered. Don't be afraid." The Prince of Jin could have not told Jiang Changning in advance, so that Jiang Changning could have a real reaction.
But Jiang Changning was pregnant. If she was overstimulated and something happened, Prince Jin would not be able to forgive himself. That's why he secretly took the trouble to sneak into the mansion and tell Jiang Changning the truth.
Jiang Changning did not disappoint him. "I will be frightened and have a miscarriage if I hear the news."
"Okay, that's good, go to sleep." Prince Jin kissed her cheek again.
Jiang Changning leaned in his arms, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
I couldn't help it, so I chopped the meat into puree and cooked it into porridge. Then I accidentally bit a little bit of it with my teeth, and it hurt so much that I cried.
