————————
In mid-May, Jiang Tianchi, who had entered the center of public opinion with a speed and attitude that caught everyone off guard since the late emperor's mother-killing in the first month, finally entered Beijing!
Contrary to what most people imagined, Jiang Tianchi was not cool, handsome or domineering at all after returning to Beijing.
Although the court held a grand welcoming ceremony for his group's return with complicated emotions, the new king Chu Shao, who was only four years old, was led to stand at the front of the crowd in ignorance - almost all the civil and military officials of the court had done well. They were mentally prepared for Jiang Tianchi to dismount Chu Shao, and even directly hinted that "you little guy is not qualified to live in Funing Palace". However, what they saw was that Jiang Tianchi saw the imperial flag from a distance and took the lead to dismount. , walked to the vicinity of the Holy Emperor, knelt down half-kneeling, and respectfully bowed to the new monarch. His behavior and speech were all worthy of being called a model of loyal ministers.
There is no intention of taking credit for one's own merit.
"How long have you been acting like this?" The ministers were quite speechless.
But it is also understandable: "It is precisely because everything is in the bag, so we have to put on a more favorable posture, so that it will be difficult to write it down in the history books... Let's see, at this rate, we will still have to perform in the future!"
What Jiang Tianchi did next also verified this inference - he accompanied the emperor into the palace to hold a court meeting, and then asked for orders to go home to visit his parents.
After returning to the palace of the Duke of Qin, he learned that both his elders were lying on the bed. Uncle Zhenbei, who was dressed in military uniform and had a resolute face, burst into tears immediately. He repeatedly claimed that he was unfilial and knelt down outside the courtyard of the Duke of Qin. There were two bloodstains on his face - as a biological father, he worked so hard. Who among his sons and grandchildren who had also participated in the Jiao Ying before would dare to neglect him
Since Mrs. Zhuang, who came back with Jiang Tianchi, did not have to attend the court meeting, she returned home first. She was surrounded by her daughters-in-law in the main hall of the fourth room, asking about their parents' affairs these days.
Mrs. Zhuang was particularly concerned about the body and bones of her biological twins. When she was holding her infant children and asking about the situation, she heard someone talk about Jiang Tianchi's behavior in his father's yard after returning from the imperial court. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were speechless. The speechlessness ended with worry: "Sir, this is what you are doing." It’s just a minor injury, just apply some medicine later. An’er and Lang’er are still young…”
Because they were male heirs, even though they were only five or six years old, the two children were still taken to the suburban welcome. At this time, their grandfather was acting violently, and it was difficult for them who happened to be following him not to participate. Even if they couldn't be as ruthless as Jiang Tianchi, they would still have to suffer a little bit!
Chu Yitong was the least worried. She had no biological son, and Jiang Yadan's husband often made her full of anger and she had no place to express her anger. Now that she was only slightly injured, she really couldn't feel sorry for her, so she comforted her mother-in-law calmly. and his sister-in-law: "My grandfather has always loved An'er and Lang'er, and Doctor Lin is always there. If anything goes wrong, he will definitely diagnose and treat them in time!"
This time she really mentioned it - not long after, Jian Fu came to Mrs. Zhuang for placement with Jiang Jingheng and other "Jing" people who participated in the suburban welcome: "Several young masters accidentally injured their knees, and the old lady took care of the younger one." Let’s send Mr. Sun back to have a rest... The wound has been treated by Doctor Lin himself!”
"You're really looking for trouble!" Qiu Yilan looked at Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang, whose faces were pale in pain and whose eyebrows were furrowed. She felt that the father-in-law was even more disgusting - if you want to show off your acting skills, you can do it yourself, and you can bring your sons with you. Forget it, you don’t care about such a young grandson. Do you have any loving heart as a father or grandfather? !
They were busy checking the children's injuries, and told them not to run or jump too much in the past two days, so as not to affect their joints. Jiang Tianchi's show of acting skills was not over yet. After finishing his performance at Qin Guogong's side, he went again. Here comes Mrs. Tao’s yard again...
"My father-in-law is really very hardworking. According to the servant's description, he was kneeling in my grandfather's yard until his knees were bloody and bloody. Regardless of whether the wound has been treated or not, if this happens again, he is not afraid of self-defeating. It's really His vitals were injured and he couldn't stand up anymore?" Qiu Yilan felt so complicated after hearing the news. What's more, he just went to his grandfather to act as a filial son. My grandfather always favored sons over daughters! It didn’t have a big impact on my grandfather—he actually dared to go to my grandmother’s place! Did he think that she didn’t die quickly enough?”
Mrs. Tao has been doing well, how did she fall ill? The only biological daughter and the only granddaughter were both burned alive - who could withstand this? !
Who burned them to death? On the surface, it is said that the late emperor was deceived by the witchcraft of the Western Barbarians and did it. In fact, who doesn't know that it was Jiang Tianchi's handiwork? !
When Jiang Yashuang went to the ruins of the Taishi Hall of Ganquan Palace and saw the miserable state of her aunt and cousin, she came back very sick. Even if she could get up, she still dares not to see Mrs. Tao - every time she visits, she is always outside the door. After lingering for a while and leaving, Jiang Tianchi is a father after all. He has profound skills. As the culprit, he not only dares to see Mrs. Tao, but also puts on a show of filial piety...
Qiu Yilan felt like vomiting blood just thinking about it, "Could it be that he can't even tolerate his grandmother?!"
"You?" In the old lady's inner room at this moment, the old lady who had woken up slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Tianchi kneeling in front of the bed to serve him with a medicine bowl. He also thought the same, "You think I have lived too long, so you came here specially. "Would you like to give me a ride?" This step-son is very tired, and it seems that he has not returned to the fourth room since he came back, and has not showered or changed clothes yet - he is so eager to get out early, what else could he be
Thinking about the care and maintenance of Si Fang over the years, and watching Si Fang develop and grow little by little, I thought I had made the right bet, but who would have thought that Si Fang got better, but I still suffered a huge defeat, even the only one All the bones and blood... Even though the old lady was close to running out of oil, she felt that the blood in her whole body was boiling at this moment. Her face covered with age spots was distorted by resentment, "I was really blind back then, and actually..."
"What are you saying, mother?" Compared with her regret and resentment that could not be washed away by the water of three rivers, Jiang Tianchi looked calm. He interrupted the old lady's words with a smile and said softly, "Children were garrisoned in the early years. Wei Frontier, I really owe a lot to my parents! But now I can’t go back to Beijing and serve you as my father and mother all the time. Why did my mother say such unlucky words
"Now that there is no one here and I won't live long, why are you still pretending to me?" Mrs. Tao said sternly, "If you still care about the benefits of our mother and daughter treating your four brothers, just answer me. question!"
Jiang Tianchi's expression remained unchanged, and he said meekly: "If mother has anything to say, just tell her, and the child should do his best to answer his mother's questions!"
"The late emperor is the master after all. Without the reputation of killing his aunt, it is difficult for you to shake the Chu family's reputation for legitimacy! I can understand this, but why can't you even tolerate Yongfu!? How does that child hinder your overall situation? , after all, she is your only biological niece, you are so vicious!"
"Mother, what you said is really unfair to the child!" Jiang Tianchi sighed, put the medicine bowl on the low table beside the couch, and said slowly, "It was the late emperor who called Yongfu into the palace that day, not ?"
"Cen Wei in front of the late emperor is yours!" Mrs. Tao sneered, "otherwise Tianluan carefully selected and placed beside the late emperor, specially keeping an eye on his personal servants, how could he have been raised in a deep palace since he was a child, and he would have no soldiers? The late emperor, who wanted power but had no power in the army, was convinced that he would abandon Tianluan and be loyal to him! It's a pity that the late emperor was young and vigorous, so he couldn't resist the temptation of truly ruling the world - I'm afraid he concealed the manpower left by Queen Mother Gu in the first place. Was it Cen Wei who encouraged him to do this? Otherwise, even if Tian Luan is far less shrewd than you, he still lives in the imperial city every day. Without the cover-up of the late emperor and the remnants of the Gu family, how could your actions not be noticed? !”
At this point, her voice was choked with sobs, "So with your ability, you can bring the late emperor to Taishi Palace and deal with it with Tianluan. What can't you do? And why do you have to drag Yongfu into the water?! That child has not yet been to the 19th National Congress, and has never been interested in state affairs. He just lives peacefully with her consort... You also watched her consort grow up... You... You... "
The old lady cried so much that she could no longer speak.
Even if one of her biological daughter and biological granddaughter was left behind, she would still have something to think about.
But, there is none!
The reason why Mrs. Tao was able to survive until today was actually because she wanted to ask Jiang Tianchi personally why? She believed that she had never offended this step-son, nor had she ever hindered him—even in the past years, she had been the greatest help to the fourth room! Even Empress Dowager Jiang is obviously partial to the fourth room!
Jiang Tianchi needed to frame the late emperor for his mother-killing, so he had to kill the Empress Dowager Jiang. Mrs. Tao could understand it even though she was heartbroken - but even Yongfu was eradicated. This was something she could not accept no matter what, let alone understand!
"Why should mother be like this?" Jiang Tianchi looked at Mrs. Tao who was almost crying. She got up and went to find a handkerchief not far away. He wiped it gently for her. His behavior and tone seemed to be the most filial in the world. Like a son, he whispered softly while serving his stepmother, "You want to know, why didn't the child tell you? There is no other reason. It's all because Yongfu is the only flesh and blood of the fourth sister. Since I killed his mother, how can Yongfu let me go? ?”
"Nonsense!" The old lady suddenly pushed his hand away and said through gritted teeth, "Let's not say whether Yongfu knows about this. Even if she does, what can she, a little girl, do to you?!"
"But her consort is the Prince Jing Bo!" Jiang Tianchi was not angry even after being pushed, but still said calmly, "And as his mother said, they are a very loving couple! Yongfu can't do anything to me, but if something happens subtly Impact on Bicheng…”
"If you really spared Yongfu's life, would I be stupid enough to let her know the truth?!" Mrs. Tao burst into tears and choked, "Am I the one who doesn't know anything?!"
Jiang Tianchifu took a handkerchief and wiped it for her, and chuckled: "Of course not mother - but it's still the same sentence: Yongfu and Bicheng were very loving, but it's impossible for Bicheng not to know the inside story of the fourth sister's death! This couple We are always together, what if I let it slip? It took a lot for the child to get to where he is today, so how can he leave hidden dangers for a niece he has only met once?"
"...Aren't you afraid that Bicheng will hate you if you do this?" Mrs. Tao was so choked by him that she almost vomited blood. Her limbs seemed to have no strength at all. She looked at the ceiling of the tent, and after a few roars in her throat, she suddenly sighed. He asked pitifully, "You also know that he was in love with Yongfu. How much contribution the Jingbo family has made to your Jiang family. The eldest son of this generation has only one son! Now you kill his first wife for such a ridiculous reason. Are you not afraid?" He hates you to the core?”
"Oh, I remembered, your preferred heir is not Nineteen, so Bicheng is also part of your plan to eradicate it? Doesn't it really matter how he feels?! Even the entire Ou family..."
"Why does the mother think so badly of the child?" Jiang Tianchi sighed, "The child just feels that although Bicheng and Yongfu have a deep love for each other, the child also grew up in front of the child. Although the child is not like a father and son to him, In name, he has the reality of being a father and son. The child doesn't believe that the child will do anything to the child because of Yongfu... He must have resentment in his heart now, but he is still young. In a few days, the child will marry him a step-brother. , It’ll be better if you delay him for a while, right?”
"After all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain! The child actually loves Bicheng more. After all, the child has been in northern Xinjiang all these years, and his biological children are not around. He is often treated as his own child. How can he bear to turn against the child? I hope the mother can understand her child!”
Mrs. Tao stared at him for a moment, then closed her eyes: "I have nothing more to say to you, just do it!"
