This time they returned from the Jiang Kingdom and had not yet entered the palace to meet the emperor. Therefore, no one knew what the emperor's thoughts were about what they did in the Jiang Kingdom.
If it were normal, Chen Yan would definitely agree to every suggestion made by Chen Ruyi, but now that something like Jiang Guo has happened, whether Chen Yan is angry or not, whether he still loves Chen Ruyi as much as before, all of these are questionable.
No one knows it anymore.
Jiang Huan also thought about the variables at this level, thinking that if the emperor did not allow Chen Ruyi to go to Jiangnan to quell the disaster, then the best other candidate would be Chen Du.
"If the Emperor does not agree to hand over this matter to the Crown Prince's Mansion, then it will be handed over to Chen Du. If it is Chen Du..." Before Jiang Huan could finish her words, Chen Ruyi interrupted her abruptly.
Next words.
"There is no such possibility." Chen Ruyi said sternly, his tone was firm and did not allow others to question it. It was as if even if the emperor disagreed with this matter, he would think of ways to make the emperor agree.
But after all, he was the monarch of Chen State, the master who commanded the three armies. Jiang Huan was worried, fearing that Chen Ruyi would conflict with Chen Yan because of this matter.
If Chen Yan is angered, even Chen Ruyi and Jiang Huan don't know how much forgiveness he can win from Chen Yan.
"Believe me." Chen Ruyi said this to Jiang Huan. The determination in his eyes made Jiang Huan feel a little dazed, but she felt a little familiar for no reason.
It seems like... I seem to have seen this look and felt this feeling somewhere.
Jiang Huan couldn't tell where exactly it was, but he felt a throbbing pain in his heart. But it only happened for a moment.
This strange feeling quickly dissipated deep in my heart. Jiang Huan nodded seriously, "I believe you."
Chen Ruyi handed over the certificate and said that he was going to the palace to meet the emperor and explain the affairs of the Jiang Kingdom.
Originally, Jiang Huan wanted to go with her, but Chen Ruyi politely refused and only asked Qiu Xingjian to stay at home to accompany her to discuss how to deal with Jiangnan.
After leaving only these words, Chen Ruyi took the car and left without staying any longer.
Jiang Huan even had the idea at a certain moment: If Chen Ruyi had healthy legs, he would be someone who could come and go as freely as the wind.
Thinking like this, she also showed her innermost thoughts on her face, letting Qiu Xingjian capture them.
"If Ruyi could have a healthy body, he would be either a hero or a general by now." Qiu Xingjian said with a smile, he squinted his eyes, and it was rare to see him fanning his folding fan.
The breeze ruffled his bun and caused his temple hair to flutter slightly, giving him a good-looking look.
Jiang Huan thought, if there is a fairy in the sky who hangs around the world and indulges in the mountains and rivers, he should look like Qiu Xingjian.
Rather than being a Taifu, he is more like a sensible person who lives in seclusion in the city.
It's a pity that the most sensible person in Kyoto should not be discovered.
"According to my prescription, he will be able to walk like an ordinary person in another half year." Jiang Huan counted the days carefully with his fingers.
The prescription I am using now has already worked on Chen Ruyi, and what I have to wait for now is the moment when all the medicinal effects can be exerted.
Whether it will take three months, half a year, or even longer, Jiang Huan cannot be sure.
The only thing Jiang Huan could do was to cure his legs and send him to the throne before the White Jade Tower was built.
Only by becoming the mother-in-law of Chen State, can she control her own life and that of Jiang State, and no longer be at the mercy of the people of Chen State.
Jiang Huan didn't know before that why these people in the Chen Kingdom were so obsessed with power and fighting openly and secretly that even the harem had no peace. Now it seems that power is the craziest thing.
Even I seem to be becoming like this Chen Guoren.
"Whether you are walking or not is actually not important." Qiu Xingjian spoke quickly, making Jiang Huan look at him in confusion.
The reason why Chen Ruyi was not taken seriously in Kyoto and was despised and ridiculed by the powerful was that he was suffering from a disease and the imperial doctor declared that he would not live to be twenty-two years old? How come Qiu Xingjian said that this was not an important thing.
"Who should be appointed as the prince? Whether the person who becomes the prince can live beyond the age of twenty-two and whether he is a normal person is ultimately decided by the emperor alone." Qiu Xingjian folded his hands on his chest and stood leaning against the wall.
He looked into the distance with a heavy gaze, "You and I are just the emperor's ministers. If the emperor wants the minister to die, the minister has to die. Have you ever heard this sentence?"
Jiang Huan's fists clenched slightly. She thought of Jiang Guo and Jiang Zixu.
How could she not know that in this world, only by becoming a king can she control her life freely.
"The emperor likes Ruyi today, loves Ruyi, and wants Ruyi to be the prince. Even if Ruyi is a dying person, and he is sick and has only one breath left, he is still the prince. But if the emperor doesn't like Ruyi tomorrow, he will be deposed.
The crown prince position. In fact, it only requires one reason." Qiu Xingjian pretended to shrug and tried his best to make the matter not so shocking.
But Jiang Huan got a clue from it.
She bit her nails, and her expression became solemn, "What you mean is that whether I can cure Chen Ruyi's leg or not, it doesn't have much effect. If you want Chen Ruyi to secure his position as the crown prince, the final step is to
What we should do is please the emperor?"
Qiu Xingjian said nothing, just nodded lightly.
Qiu Xingjian was hinting to himself that he should not start a dispute with Chen Yan because of Jiang Guo's temporary incident.
Jiang Huan fell into deep thought. She thought of the people she had seen in Jiang Country before, their current lives, and the woman's face full of fear and timidity.
Jiang Guo, this shouldn't be like this.
"Now that the power is gone, the Emperor remains unmoved on the surface. He is still addicted to wine and sex, and has become a faint king in the eyes of the world." Qiu Xingjian continued, he looked quietly at the pool outside the window, and saw only a red petal.
The plum blossoms were blown down by the wind and floated on the surface of the pond.
But this floating was only a short-lived thing. Very quickly, the severe cold pulled the petals into the bottom of the pond, and the red plum was never seen again.
"It is said that the Sacred Heart is hard to guess. You and I can't guess what the emperor is thinking right now. You want to protect the Jiang Kingdom, and Ruyi wants to protect the Chen Kingdom. In fact, you two have similar intentions, but
They always do things differently." Qiu Xingjian looked at Jiang Huan with a solemn expression, "Xiao Huan, have you ever thought about maybe joining forces with the Prince's Mansion?"
