Just as Prince Jin expected, Princess Jiujiang did come to save Prince Jiujiang. She did not beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly.
Jiang Changning sighed and said, "Knowing that Uncle Prince Jiujiang is imprisoned, my prince is very worried and is also very concerned about the border war. I hope Uncle Prince Jiujiang can be out of danger as soon as possible."
"It's a pity that the Di people were too cunning, and the people sent by the court failed to rescue Uncle Jiujiang."
"I understand why Aunt Wang came here, but Aunt Wang, you also know the situation in the court. My prince wants to save Uncle Jiujiang, but he is powerless."
Princess Jiujiang quickly said something nice, "I know that Prince Yu's nephew is a kind person and has always respected us uncles and aunts."
"His uncle, the Prince of Jiujiang, was also deceived by that old thief, the Prince of Qing. He has always loved his nephew, the Prince of Yu."
Jiang Changning agreed with her words, "I was wondering, why did Uncle Prince Jiujiang suddenly want to lead troops to fight? It turns out that Uncle Prince Qing is behind this."
"It's him." Princess Jiujiang said angrily.
After blaming Queen Qing, Jiang Changning comforted her, "Don't worry, Aunt Wang, my prince has already discussed it with those adults, and he will definitely find a way to rescue Uncle Jiujiang."
"I knew that Brother Prince Yu is the most reliable." Princess Jiujiang felt relieved. Today's trip was not in vain.
After finishing the business, Jiang Changning accompanied Princess Jiujiang to pay a visit to the Concubine Dowager. The Concubine Dowager politely invited her to have a meal, but Princess Jiujiang declined. Jiang Changning personally sent her to the carriage and watched her leave.
Princess Jiujiang was very happy with the hospitality of Prince Jin. When she got home, she told her son, "Princess Jin is a really nice person. She is straightforward in both words and deeds. Whether your father can be saved really depends on Prince Jin."
Jiujiang Prince also said: "I went to see Brother Yu, he said he would try his best, but he would not promise whether he could save my father. Before the matter is done, all the promises are false. Once my father is saved, everything will be true."
"An honest person speaks the truth, unlike Prince Qing and his wife, who only know how to make money and never tell the truth." Princess Jiujiang was quite dissatisfied with Prince Qing and his wife.
It is not known whether the Prince of Jiujiang can save the couple or not, but the Princess of Jiujiang has already grudged the Prince of Qing and his wife, and I think she will take revenge on the Prince of Qing's Mansion in the future.
At the Prince Jin's Mansion, after Jiang Changning saw off Princess Jiujiang, he returned to the courtyard to look at the gift list sent by Princess Jiujiang.
The Princess of Jiujiang was quite generous and gave a very expensive gift.
In addition to several valuable ornaments, a shop was also given as a gift. It was a large shop with two rooms on Qianjinmen Street.
Jiang Changning asked her maid to put the gift in the west wing and asked the Queen of Jin whether she would accept it or not.
In the evening, Prince Jin returned, and Jiang Changning gave him the gift list. "The gift from Princess Jiujiang is so generous. It gave me a new understanding of the financial resources of the Jiujiang Palace."
King Jin understood the meaning of her words and said with a smile: "I will have someone check it out and open another booklet and warehouse."
"I understand." Jiang Changning replied with a smile.
Prince Qing knew that Prince Jin had offered advice to the young emperor and was 70% sure that Prince Jiujiang could be rescued.
This made him very angry. King Jiujiang was rescued by King Jin. With this life-saving grace, even if King Jiujiang did not side with King Jin, he would never go against King Jin again.
Not only would he lose an ally, he would also lose his wallet.
At this time, Prince Qing deeply regretted letting Prince Jiujiang achieve any military merits, as Prince Jiujiang was more suitable for making money.
Now that things have come to this, no matter how much he regrets, it will be of no use.
"We can't let the Prince of Jiujiang return to the capital." Prince Qing said viciously to Prince Yu.
"It may not be possible to save him." Prince Yu was not optimistic about Prince Jin's plan, although he did not know what the specific plan was.
"A defeated general is lucky not to be held accountable. Can it be said that Your Majesty can still use him?" Prince Yu said disdainfully.
"He is a defeated general and there is no need to be afraid of him, but the person who rescued him has made a great contribution." Prince Qing reminded him that the person he should be on guard against is Prince Jin.
Prince Yu seemed to be thinking about something, "But I don't know what Helian Yu is going to do? How can we stop him?"
"Please hire a killer. As long as Prince Jin's people rescue Prince Jiujiang, assassinate him." Prince Qing said coldly.
Prince Yu frowned and remained silent.
"Do you think I'm too cruel?" Prince Qing asked in a deep voice.
Prince Yu and Prince Qing looked at each other and said quickly, "No, my nephew doesn't think so. This is how it should be done to accomplish great things."
Having said that, when Prince Yu said goodbye and left the room, a gust of wind blew. It was clearly an east wind and it was clearly summer, but he shivered.
The King of Jiujiang was abandoned by the King of Qing.
Prince Qing would never have thought that his ruthless assassination of Prince Jiujiang would make Prince Yu feel a sense of crisis and harbor a grudge against him.
The alliance between the two seemed to be still solid, but in fact cracks had already appeared.
Prince Yu began to pretend to obey but secretly promised Prince Jin many benefits, and finally took Qu Wenpo's family from Prince Jin.
After that, it was up to him and the Zhao family to seek benefits. As for the Song family, he had never considered it. Prince Qing was right when he said that he and Zhao Xifang were husband and wife and shared honor and disgrace.
These things were all done in private, and those who were not involved in the matter had no way of knowing. The Prince of Jin also mentioned it to Jiang Changning, "Qu Wenpo's family has been handed over to the Prince of Yu."
"Zhao Xifang, does this mean you've escaped a disaster?" Jiang Changning didn't have a good impression of Zhao Xifang. Things turned out like this, and Zhao Xifang wasn't hurt at all. She felt a little uncomfortable.
"Her future life may not be easy. Prince Yu can hold this handle for the rest of his life."
"You deserve it." Jiang Changning could be said to have watched the progress of the feud between Zhao Xifang and Song Yirou.
It was just a little disagreement between girls, but it ended up turning out like this. It's really sad.
This matter was considered over for Jiang Changning, and she never mentioned it again.
Days passed, and in mid-June, Prince Jiujiang returned to the capital. His left leg was injured and he did not receive good treatment, so he is now lame.
Looking at the lame Jiujiang King, King Qing shed a few crocodile tears, "I heard that Brother Zhuo was captured by the enemy, and I couldn't sleep at night, I was very worried. Now I see Brother Zhuo has escaped and returned, it's really great."
"Prince Qing, there is no need to say these words. I know how you treat me, and I will repay you in the future." Prince Jiujiang said with a cold face.
When he was rescued, he thought they were Prince Qing's men, but later he found out they were Prince Jin's men.
He also learned that it was because the King of Jin pretended to have the prisoners of war escorted back to the capital that the Di people sent troops to rescue him, leaving the rear camp empty, which enabled him to be rescued.
But he never expected that he would be hunted down after escaping from the enemy camp, and the people chasing him were actually sent by Prince Qing.
He was not smart, but after thinking about it more, he understood the reason. So, he also hated King Qing.
