Jiang Zhe suddenly raised his head. He had thought that the emperor's official position would threaten him, but he never thought that he would be so determined and directly want to take back the military talisman.
With his daughter on one side and his foundation in the government on the other, Jiang Zhe hesitated.
"You can choose not to hand it over, but Jiang Ru and Sang Nu will not escape death. But if you hand over the military symbols, you will still have real power. The border war is tense, and I can't do without the general's assistance. How should I choose? I believe in the general.
I already know it well."
Zhao Jing's tone was neither urgent nor slow. It was only a matter of time before Jiang Zhe handed over the military talisman. In recent years, he seemed to be a royalist because of his relationship with the eldest princess, but in private he had always been close to Prime Minister Liu.
Zhao Jing didn't want to take back his military power for a day or two. This time Jiang Ru's matter happened to be at the crossroads, and Zhao Jing also took advantage of his plan.
"I am willing to hand over the military talisman."
Jiang Zhe knew that the situation had been decided, and the emperor was waiting for him to fall into the trap today.
"good!"
Zhao Jing stood up from her seat with a smile, stepped forward and patted Jiang Zhe on the shoulder.
"I know that Aiqing is a man of great righteousness. You are still needed at the border. Now that the enemy is invading, it would be better for the general to go back and take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible."
In the past, Zhao Jing could not trust him 100% because of his close relationship with Prime Minister Liu, but now that the military power has returned to his hands, his past worries can be temporarily put aside.
"Yes, Wei Chen takes the order!"
It is a good thing that he can go to the border now. The situation in the capital is treacherous. From the emperor asking him for the military talisman, it can be seen that the emperor is going to take action against Prime Minister Liu and his faction. It is inevitable that he will be dragged into it in the capital.
Moreover, if Jiang Ru did such a scandal, her reputation would be ruined even if she did not have to go to jail. Even with his powerful position as a guarantee, the wife of the aristocratic family would not marry such a little lady back home as her daughter-in-law. She might as well marry him
Go to the border.
She is still young, and maybe people in the capital will forget about this matter in two years. By then, it will be too late for her to propose marriage. Even if the capital cannot find a good husband-in-law, there are so many outstanding sons and daughters in his border area who can give Jiang Ru
Choose a good son-in-law.
The matter of getting back the military talisman went more smoothly than Zhao Jing imagined, so he didn't embarrass Jiang Ru anymore and sent someone to take Jiang Zhe to the prison to collect the man.
Sannu escaped by chance. While she was relieved, she was also worried about her future.
Although the outside world still doesn't know that she is fake Rong Ning, the Princess's mansion will never tolerate her again, but where else can she go?
"Your Majesty, Sangnu was brought here by Jiang Ru. She shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. Fortunately, she found her way back and didn't make a big mistake. I also ask the Emperor and the eldest princess to spare her life and let her go back.
Continue to be the maid of Jiang Mansion."
When Sannu was worried, she suddenly heard Jiang Zhe's words, and her eyes couldn't help but feel wet and hot. It turned out that there was still someone in this world who was thinking about her.
"Yes."
Zhao Jing nodded noncommittally. Just as Jiang Zhe said, Sangnu was just a pawn of Jiang Ru and could not pose a threat in his eyes. It was just a good idea to sell him to Jiang Zhe.
However, the eldest princess took another look at the two of them. She didn't know that Jiang Zhe could be so kind, but these had nothing to do with her. If he went to the border in the future, there would be no intersection between her and Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Ru stayed in the prison all night. Now her face was pale and bloodless, and her nerves were tense. She was frightened by the scene in the prison. She almost cried when she knew she could get out.
"Dad, you finally came to rescue Ru'er. The prison was full of rats and there was a strong smell of blood. Ru'er almost died of fright in there..."
Jiang Ru wrapped herself tightly in the dirty quilt and complained with annoyance on her face. Seeing that she had no repentance, Jiang Zhe's face turned dark and he slapped her in the face.
"Evil girl! If you hadn't done such an immoral thing, why would my father have embarrassed such a big person in front of his colleagues..."
He even had his military power taken away because of this!
Jiang Zhe felt great hatred in his heart. If Jiang Ru was not his daughter, he would have stabbed her with his sword.
"father……"
Jiang Ru had never been beaten since she was a child. Jiang Zhe's slap directly knocked her unconscious. Sannu lowered her head and followed behind Jiang Zhe, not daring to make a sound. But she was a living person. How could Jiang Ru?
Can't see her.
"Why did you come here? Did mother ask you to save me?"
Jiang Ru still held some hope in her heart that the emperor and the eldest princess would spare her for the sake of past kindness, but what Sannu said next made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.
"Madam, the emperor and the eldest princess already know everything..."
"knew?"
Jiang Ru murmured to herself, her last hope was shattered, she was completely finished this time.
"Go home first!"
A group of guards were watching the joke at the door of the cell. Jiang Ru was only wearing a scanty shirt and skirt under the quilt. She was so shocked that the quilt fell down, revealing her white and greasy skin.
Jiang Zhe warned the guards in the prison with stern eyes. The others were frightened and did not dare to look any further. Sang Nu was still smart and quickly stepped forward to cover Jiang Ru. Jiang Zhe looked at her with even more admiration.
Several people arrived home quickly in Jiang's carriage. After hearing the servant's report, Aunt Zhao hurriedly went out to greet her. When she saw Jiang Ru's embarrassed look, her eyes were red.
"What will happen to Ru'er in the future after what happened to her?"
Just thinking about how Jiang Ru will not even look at her husband's family in the future makes Aunt Zhao look sad.
"The Emperor asked me to go to the border as soon as possible. I plan to take you all away."
Jiang Zhe told several people about his decision, and Aunt Zhao's expression froze.
"Going to the border? You have been well in the capital, so why are you going to the border again? Is it because of Ru'er's incident that the emperor is angry with you?"
Aunt Zhao didn't want to go to the border. She had stayed in the border for ten years, and she knew how difficult the environment there was. Although she couldn't join the circle of ladies from aristocratic families in the capital, at least she had the best food and clothing. She went to the border
Having to suffer the sandstorm again, Aunt Zhao felt panicked just thinking about it.
Jiang Ru in her arms also came to her senses. When she heard that she would follow Jiang Zhe to the border, her reaction was also huge.
"I don't want to go!"
If she leaves, she will no longer be able to marry the emperor. If Zhao Jing takes her in after she leaves, everything she has done will be in vain.
"This is not your fault. You should pack things up as soon as possible. We will leave Beijing after the Chinese New Year!"
Seeing that Jiang Ru was still messing around, Jiang Zhe lost his patience for a long time. He gave a deep command and left with his hands behind his back.
The calmest among these people was Sang Nu. As long as she would not be punished by the emperor and did not have to return to Chunjiang Tower, there was still hope for everything. But when she looked at the birthmark on her wrist, a trace of hatred flashed in Sang Nu's eyes.
meaning.
Qiao Songyun said that she needed precious medicinal materials to detoxify, but now she had nothing. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone willing to help her detoxify. Sannu looked at Jiang Zhe who was leaving, and lowered his eyes to cover his bottom.
