Chapter 75 Insight
Zhao Ya naturally didn't want to leave Jiang Wanwan any chance of survival.
Jiang Yunxi listened from the side and felt that Jiang Wanwan really deserved it by provoking such a powerful character.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan immediately broke down and burst into tears, "No, I don't want this. No, I want to live..."
Zhao Changta felt that Jiang Wanwan was very noisy, so he waved his hand and said, "Drag her away and lock her up in the outer room first, so that she can behave herself."
He was also very displeased with Zhao Zheyong, so he ordered his men to drag Zhao Zheyong away.
Zhao Zheyong struggled to plead, "Father, please understand. This matter really has nothing to do with me."
He bit it to death and it wasn't him who did it.
But everyone with a discerning eye in the Cining Palace could see that he was lying.
At this time, Concubine Wei Yanyan suddenly spoke up, "Your Majesty, she is just a woman. We cannot welcome her into the palace with great fanfare, but we can carry her in quietly. After all, she is the Third Prince's beloved. If she is killed, I am afraid that it will chill the Third Prince's heart and hurt the relationship between father and son. As for the fault of this matter, let her family bear it. Charge her with the crime of poor parenting."
The virtuous concubine Wei Yanyan's words seemed to indicate that she wanted to help Jiang Wanwan.
After hearing what she had just heard, she felt that if Jiang Wanwan did not enter the backyard of the third prince Zhao Zheyong, then Jiang Yunxi would have to marry Zhao Zheyong.
To be fair, she would rather Jiang Wanwan marry Zhao Zheyong.
A stupid and foolish woman like Jiang Wanwan, who has no prominent family background, would be of no help to Zhao Zheyong if she entered the Third Prince's Mansion.
This is what Concubine Wei Yanyan wants to see.
If Jiang Yunxi were allowed to marry Zhao Zheyong, Zhao Zheyong would immediately gain the support of the Queen Mother.
Jiang Yunxi is also a difficult character to deal with.
In addition, the position of Duke Zhenguo is still vacant. If Zhao Zheyong's people get this position, wouldn't it be giving Zhao Zheyong at least three more layers of support for nothing?
With one more person competing for the throne, it becomes even more difficult for Wei Yanyan's son, the eldest prince Zhao Zhexuan, to ascend the throne.
This is not what Wei Yanyan wants to see.
That's why Wei Yanyan would plead for Jiang Wanwan.
Queen Meng Jingshu naturally knew what Wei Yanyan was planning.
Meng Jingshu's son is now the crown prince, and has been challenged openly and covertly by Wei Yanyan and Zhao Zhexuan.
Although she could design a plan to have the Third Prince Zhao Zheyong and the First Prince Zhao Zhexuan check and balance each other, she knew very well that Zhao Zheyong was also likely to join forces with Zhao Zhexuan to pull the Crown Prince down from the throne first.
In order to check and balance Zhao Zhexuan, Zhao Zheyong was given the support of the Jiang family, which nurtured Zhao Zheyong's ambitions, which was not cost-effective.
Therefore, Meng Jingshu and Wei Yanyan reached a consensus for the first time.
The two smiled at each other and nodded.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has been well behaved for so many years, so it is understandable that he lost his temper for a woman. Since he loves her so much, Your Majesty will give her this little toy, which will also fulfill his wish."
"If we kill the mother and keep the son, and if someone with ulterior motives says something to the little grandson, he will inevitably be jealous and resentful. It would be great if there were more little grandsons in the palace, and it would be lively and lively!" Meng Jingshu also spoke up.
When Zhao Ya saw that her mother refuted what she said, she was very angry for a moment. She wanted to say something, but was glared back by Meng Jingshu.
Zhao Ya lowered her head.
"Brother Yu, what do you think?" Zhao Changta suddenly called Zhao Changyu's name.
Jiang Yunxi's gaze immediately fell on Zhao Changyu.
Zhao Changyu said calmly, "Miss Jiang is pregnant with your majesty's grandson, so she is extremely noble. But what Miss Jiang did was indeed a violation of her moral character, and she should not be allowed to teach the grandson."
Jiang Yunxi unconsciously clenched her handkerchief, fearing that Zhao Changyu would sentence Jiang Wanwan to death.
"I see that this disaster happened today. First, the Jiang family failed to teach well, but Madam Jiang is dead, so there is no way to investigate. Second, Miss Jiang is too ostentatious. She relies on her beauty and behaves beyond the rules. She makes mistakes again and again. For the sake of the little grandson, I cannot punish her severely, so I will use the punishment of tattooing her face to make her dare not be ostentatious again."
"This is my humble opinion."
Jiang Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Zhao Changyu and gave him a thumbs up in her heart, thinking: "You are still ruthless."
She seemed to suddenly understand why everyone in the palace was afraid of Zhao Changyu.
Zhao Ya felt that what Zhao Changyu said made a lot of sense. She also felt that Jiang Wanwan's ambition was due to her face, so she immediately agreed, "I think what the emperor's uncle said is right. Tattooing her face will not only allow Jiang Wanwan to stay in the mansion and reflect on her mistakes, but also fulfill the relationship between my third brother and her. It will not hurt my third brother and the little prince. My third brother will definitely thank you a lot and remember the kindness of our father."
Zhao Changta nodded, "Let's do it this way."
Zhao Changta then issued an edict, granting Jiang Wanwan the title of Zhao Zheyong's concubine for the sake of the Jiang family.
As for the order to tattoo Jiang Wanwan's face, Zhao Changta did not write it in the imperial edict.
After all, this is a shameful thing, do we need to make it known to everyone? Just do it quietly in private.
When Jiang Wanwan learned that she had become Zhao Zheyong's concubine and that Zhao Changta had not punished her, her eyes were filled with tears of gratitude.
I thought to myself, "This bet was the right one. Hahahaha, I'm going to marry into the prince's palace."
======Back Garden of Cining Palace======
Having achieved her goal, Jiang Yunxi was naturally very happy.
She walked on the green lawn and kicked pebbles into the pond.
"Are you satisfied?" Zhao Changyu's voice came from behind.
Jiang Yunxi bowed to Zhao Changyu and said, "Uncle Emperor, what you said is so good!"
What he said was just right, and it really dealt a fatal blow to Jiang Wanwan!
"If I hadn't seen that you didn't want to marry the Third Prince, I'm afraid I wouldn't have said this."
Jiang Yunxi looked up at him and squinted slightly, "I seem to have just discovered that the emperor's uncle is particularly good at reading people's minds."
