"Even I myself became a victim of the father-son game."
Jiang Tang looked at Fang Bin: "There will be no hatred without reason in the world, and a father who loves his children will not become indifferent without reason. I guess someone must have intervened behind this. But who could it be?"
"At first I thought they were members of the clan, or concubines like Concubine Lan who were afraid that the prince would steal his son's throne. But before I could find out the truth, I was unlucky enough to be thrown into the cold palace."
At this point, Jiang Tang suddenly smiled: "If I guessed correctly, I can survive thanks to you, Lady Fang, right?"
Concubine Fang glanced at her, her eyes seeming to say, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Jiang Tang didn't mind, though: "On the night of the palace banquet, what the prince said was very strange. It was as if he knew what was going to happen from the beginning. But how did he know? Someone told him. So who is this person?"
"After all, your prince has been domineering in the palace for many years. Is it strange that he has one or two informants?" Fang Concubine said indifferently, still looking like she didn't take Jiang Tang's words to heart.
"Of course it's not strange to have an eyeliner, but if this eyeliner can actually change the emperor's mind, things will become different."
"What do you mean?"
Fang Bin finally raised her head and looked at Jiang Tang, her eyes full of caution.
Jiang Tang looked at her fearlessly: "It means that with the prince's temperament, he would let me stay in the cold palace because there is someone here who can absolutely reassure him. He knows that nothing will happen to me here, so he
Will let me in."
Concubine Fang couldn't help laughing when she heard this and said, "You are very confident. Do you believe in him that much?"
Jiang Tang said with a smile: "Of course, in this world, I believe in the prince the most."
Sure enough, as Jiang Tang expected, when she started to say good things for Xiao Yinhan, no matter what they were, the woman in front of her could not hide her disgust.
She couldn't help but wonder, what kind of brain did the other party have? How could he be so trusting with such obvious disgust?
And she worked hard for so long, but got nothing.
Dog man!
Once again, she couldn't help but curse.
Concubine Fang snorted coldly and stopped talking to Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang continued to say that he wanted to say: "The emperor wanted to use me to threaten the prince, but the prince was sure that someone would 'protect' me. Although it is a bit narcissistic to say this, in fact, I guessed it from the moment I woke up,
In fact, the emperor does not really want to kill me.
When I found out that I was locked up in the cold palace, I had a sudden thought, what if I linked the plot of the father-son rebellion with the cold palace? Then I discovered..."
Jiang Tang deliberately slowed down his tone and stared at Fang Bin's cold side face: "This place seems to be really good. It can contact the father and son without arousing anyone's suspicion."
Finally, she saw a slight change in the woman's face as she wished. Although it was quick, she caught it.
Jiang Tang was determined and told how he "caught" her in a leisurely manner:
"I tried to use the elimination method to screen out the people in the cold palace who might be related.
Since it is related to the imperial concubine, this person must have come in after the imperial concubine appeared.
So first of all, some people are excluded based on the year and seniority of entering the palace;
Then based on the reasons for entering the cold palace and the current situation, some people were excluded;
Depending on whether they have contact with the prince, some of them will be excluded... But even so, there are still several people left. There is no other way, so I have to..."
After Jiang Tang said this, he suddenly became quiet.
Fangbi didn't speak, but she couldn't help but tighten her fingers. She restrained herself from looking at the girl who was talking, as if she wasn't interested in what she said.
But actually I already have a guess in my mind:
She sent relevant things to those suspected to test...
"I used different reasons to send some things to those who were suspicious to test them, and wanted to judge based on their reactions."
After hearing this, the whole system was shocked.
Obviously it has been with the host since it came back, and everything she did was more or less helped by it, but these...
It doesn’t know at all!
The system is stupid, the system doesn't know what to say...
"It's a coincidence. When I accidentally learned that the empress was related to Concubine Ye's 'friend', I originally wanted to test it with her things, but the moment I gave them away, I suddenly changed my mind...
"
Jiang Tang tilted his head, still looking cute, but every word he said made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave:
"Since everything revolves around the Imperial Concubine, let's just give something related to the Imperial Concubine. What if I get lucky and try it out?"
She didn't need to say anything else after that, because she really tested it out.
Just using "her" favorite frost flowers on the sachet as a pattern was enough to attract her, the big fish.
"So after saying so much, Concubine Fang still refuses to admit it?"
Jiang Tang walked over, picked up the sachet on the side and looked at it, but his eyes were full of determination.
I am sure that the murderer is her, and I am sure that she cannot refute it.
"What do you want me to admit?"
Concubine Fang raised her head and looked at the beautiful and intelligent girl in front of her: "You have been 'given up' by him, so what if the so-called truth is found?"
Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows lightly. Just when he was about to say, "You are admitting that you are a gangster," he heard the woman's denial: "What's more, what you said is completely nonsense. You will convict me just for a sachet."
? Ridiculous in the extreme.”
After she finished speaking, she followed Jiang Tang's example and asked her, "Do you really think that your prince is so stupid and brainless that he will believe whatever you say?"
Yes, in my mind he is a brainless idiot!
Otherwise, I won’t be fooled around by you.
Jiang Tang replied expressionlessly in his heart, but of course he couldn't really say that:
"Others may be suspicious, but he is Xiao Yinhan. Don't we have to thank the empress for working so hard to turn him into such a cruel and suspicious character? If he knows that he has been fooled by you, whether it is true or false, he will
We will definitely pursue it to the end. I don’t know how many people will be implicated and their families will be destroyed...”
Seeing Concubine Fang's still indifferent look, Jiang Tang felt a little unhappy for no reason, and added: "For example, what do you think about the 'Uncle Hai' who claims to be Lady Jade's confidant and comes to surrender?"
Finally, the woman looked at her, her eyes sharp and full of threats and warnings.
Jiang Tang smiled.
In fact, when reading the original work, she had a doubt:
If people like Uncle Hai are really the confidants of Lady Jade and loyal to her, why have they been deceived by Boss Yan for so many years with just a few words and never come to see Xiao Yinhan until his death?
Obviously as long as he dares to come, that guy will definitely investigate even if he is suspicious.
Why did he end up being killed along with the entire Yan family?
For example, this time, he came to the door in person. Although she was there to mediate, it actually had little impact.
Xiao Yinhan himself believed it somewhat.
but if……
Jiang Tang looked at the woman in front of him. There was another master behind "Uncle Hai", and if this "master" told him not to go, everything would seem to be explained.
"Anyway, there is no one else here except me and Concubine Fang. Why don't you explain to me why you are targeting my prince like this?"
Jiang Tang spoke softly, as gently as ever, but at this moment, Fangbi no longer dared to look down on her.
The woman who repeatedly ruined her plans was definitely not an idle person.
A light wind chime sounded, but no one paid attention at the moment.
Fang Bin looked up at Jiang Tang and suddenly smiled. With this smile, her whole temperament seemed to change:
"You're right, I did all of this. I can't see that hypocritical guy still living well in the world after killing her, and he still dares to claim to be deeply affectionate and unrepentant. Is he worthy?"
Jiang Tang was just about to say who "he" was, but when he heard the next words, he suddenly understood.
"He was hypocritical and disgusting. He lied to her and killed her. He said he would take good care of the child she gave birth to, but I deceived him into allowing others to hurt him with just a few words."
At this point, she looked at Jiang Tang with a bit more resentment: "If it weren't for you! Xiao Yinhan should have been defeated long ago! Both father and son should die!"
Seeing the woman's ferocious and crazy look, Jiang Tangren was a little confused.
No matter how powerful she was, she never thought that the reason why the other party wanted to kill the father and son was to avenge the imperial concubine?
Because you want to avenge the imperial concubine, are you targeting her husband and son?
This brain circuit is really...
"...That child shouldn't have come to this world! If it weren't for him, she would have left this disgusting palace long ago. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have died so early!"
The woman's every word is spiteful, as if she hates eating his flesh raw.
Jiang Tang saw it in his eyes, but inexplicably felt that something was wrong with the other person's mood.
"So what did you say to the emperor, so that he could tell the prince..."
【Host beware!】
Before Jiang Tang finished speaking, a sharp reminder from the system sounded in his mind——
The woman in front of him who had just cursed suddenly pulled out a short knife from nowhere.
Jiang Tang was startled, subconsciously took two steps back, and said in surprise: "You want to kill me?"
Concubine Fang looked at her with a sad smile, but it gave people a creepy feeling:
"Originally, this matter has nothing to do with you, but why are you so smart?"
The corner of Jiang Tang's mouth twitched: "I'm too smart, I'm really sorry for you."
The woman ignored her strange anger and slowly approached her with a short knife: "Although you are very smart, you are also very stupid. You don't know martial arts and there is no one around you. You come to confront me alone like this because you are afraid that you will die.
Is it too slow?"
Jiang Tang looked at her without saying a word, his little face turned white, as if he was frightened by her words.
[As long as I am with the host, no one can hurt me! You know nothing!] The system can’t help but jump!
Its host came to seek death, of course because of its system!
After the system finished speaking, it was discovered that it also felt that the host was looking for death...
Well...this is great...
A cold light flashed across his eyes, and the long knife in the woman's hand fell on Jiang Tang's neck.
She froze and remained in the same position for the time being.
Concubine Fang came closer to her, with the madness still in her eyes: "I have been lurking in the cold palace for ten years just to avenge her! I want him and his son to pay for her life! No one can stop me!
If anyone dares to stop me, I will never let her go!"
Jiang Tang's heart skipped a beat, and she realized there was something wrong with the woman's words, but before she could figure it out, the long knife was suddenly thrust into her hand.
Under Jiang Tang's surprised gaze, the woman lowered her voice and said to her: "If I were alive, he would naturally believe your words. But what if I died and he saw me die in your hands? With that child's suspicion and cruelty,
With your temper, will he still trust you from now on?"
Fang Bin returned what Jiang Tang had just said to her. In the girl's confused eyes, she suddenly grabbed her hand and stabbed the dagger into her heart with her backhand.
"you--"
[Wocao (a kind of plant) - she actually committed suicide!] The system couldn't help but scream.
"I won't lose,"
Concubine Fang had a smile on her face, and blood flowed from her mouth as she spoke: "Look at him, how funny he is..."
Jiang Tang turned around stiffly, and then saw the man who had appeared at some point, standing at the door staring at her in shock, with an expression of disbelief.
At that moment, one sentence clearly appeared in Jiang Tang's mind:
She lost.
All her efforts for so long were in vain.
After all, no one expected that this woman would be so crazy that she would risk her life for her own purposes.
Fang Concubine fell back, her eyes fierce as she reached out to grab Jiang Tang's hand, as if she was unwilling to close her eyes.
Jiang Tang remained motionless, looking coldly at the man who was walking quickly from the door with a sullen face.
She watched him walk to her side in a few steps, and then hugged her into his arms: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
When the hot body temperature enveloped her, Jiang Tang's mind went blank for a moment.
Um?
Did she mishear something?
"Are you injured?"
It wasn't until the man let go of her again and forcibly raised her face that she finally sensed his mood at the moment from his nervous and worried eyes.
Nervous, worried...as if he was afraid that she would get hurt and have an accident, but he didn't doubt her at all?
Jiang Tang subconsciously looked at the woman lying on the ground, but before he could see clearly, the man forced her back again: "Let me ask you, are you injured?"
Xiao Yinhan repeated his words again, with a serious expression as if he was asking about some earth-shattering event.
Jiang Tang finally woke up, and his hoarse voice seemed to be crying: "My lord, why are you here? Concubine Fang..."
She was afraid of pointing her trembling fingers at the female corpse on the ground, but she thought coldly in her heart, if Fangbi knew that she had not risked her life to win anyone's doubts about her, would she wake up in anger?
"you really……"
Seeing her pitiful look, Xiao Yinhan was so angry that his heart ached, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face hard.
"Do you really want my life?"
With a sigh, she was picked up sideways.
