Chapter 172 Calculation
Yuan Peishan had always known that Jiang Wanrong was a person with her own ideas. Seeing her like this, she nodded in satisfaction.
"It's good that you know. In a few months, you will be the Princess of Rui. It won't be too late to do anything you want then!"
Jiang Wanrong nodded slightly in response, "I know!"
Seeing Jiang Wanrong like this, Yuan Peishan naturally felt a little distressed. Just when she wanted to say a few more words, she heard a voice coming from outside. She had no choice but to look at Jiang Wanrong, and then slowly saluted obediently.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Emperor Shunqing walked in front, his imperial majesty evident, making people afraid to look him in the eye. After he stepped onto the high platform, he looked at the people below and slowly said, "Everyone, please stand!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Shunqing had not been sitting on the throne for long when he heard the sharp voice of the eunuch outside.
"The Crown Prince of Nanmo Kingdom has come to the palace for an audience!"
Everyone couldn't help but look outside in confusion.
Jiang Shuyu followed the gazes of the crowd and saw Nangong Junze slowly approaching with an expression of "as expected". She said that no matter how bold Nangong Junze was, he would not dare to deceive his superiors and continue to let others impersonate him.
At this time, Nangong Junze's mask had been taken off. Although there were some rashes on his face, it did not affect his appearance at all. Emperor Shunqing looked at Nangong Junze and saw that he was indeed ill. He nodded slightly. It seemed that the Nanmo Kingdom did not despise him. Prince Nangong was really suffering from acclimatization.
Everyone was just feeling sorry for Nangong Junze, who had just encountered such a thing when he first came to Dongli Country. Only the two of them looked at him with a hint of scrutiny in their eyes.
Jiang Shuyu looked at the rash on Nangong Junze's face, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Wasn't this the one she gave to Xu Mufan for self-defense? How did it appear on Nangong Junze's face? At this moment, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but start to guess, could it be that he wanted to harm Xu Mufan, but then she gave up the idea. Since his identity had been exposed, he would naturally not do such a thing.
It seems that there are still things she doesn't know. Jiang Shuyu thought about it and put it aside. She didn't know that at this moment, Xiao Jingchuan was secretly wondering when he looked at Nangong Junze's face. The faint bruises on his eyelids were the same as those of the man he met yesterday. After taking a closer look, he realized that the man Yu'er saved was the Nangong Junze in front of him?
When I think about the Crown Prince of Nanmo Country, he actually behaved like a mean person. He looks lively and energetic now, not like someone who is seriously injured. He is obviously taking advantage of Yu'er's kindness to achieve his ulterior motives. It seems that I didn't go easy on him yesterday. If I knew that he was the Crown Prince of Nanmo Country, I would definitely beat him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed. In this way, let's see how he can pretend.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu staring at Nangong Junze, Xiao Jingchuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He immediately looked at Nangong Junze and said, "Prince Nangong has worked hard on the journey. Not to mention the red rash on his face, even the black bruises at the corners of his eyes are surprisingly obvious. If I hadn't been closer and knew it was His Royal Highness, I would have thought that His Royal Highness had been beaten!"
Hearing Xiao Jingchuan mention this, Nangong Junze couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. He then looked at Xiao Jingchuan and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing, you're joking. I haven't had a good rest these days, so it's inevitable that this will happen. I'm sorry that Your Highness Prince Jing is worried about me!"
Listening to Nangong Junze's words, Xiao Jingchuan smiled slightly, then looked at Nangong Junze and said, "Prince Nangong has come from afar, it is only natural for me to show some concern!"
Xiao Jinhui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw how the two of them were getting along. They were chatting back and forth, as if they were old friends. However, when it came to friends, the Prince Nangong in front of him was similar to his new friend. Thinking of this, Xiao Jinhui couldn't help but smile bitterly. If Mr. Lu was the Prince of Nanmo Kingdom, wouldn't he be even more powerful?
In the main hall, the banquet was proceeding in an orderly manner. The stage was filled with singing and dancing, which was very lively. The people below had different thoughts, all wanting to gain greater benefits for themselves.
After three rounds of drinks, Emperor Shunqing exchanged a few pleasantries with Nangong Junze before looking at Xiao Jingchuan and saying, "You are of similar age. Prince Nangong has come from afar, so you must treat him well."
Xiao Jingchuan looked at the exhausted look on Emperor Shunqing's face and couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He didn't say anything else and quickly bowed in response, "Your son obeys your order and will certainly entertain Prince Nangong well!"
Nangong Junze naturally saw that Emperor Shunqing was powerless at this time. Looking at the reactions of the princes, Nangong Junze immediately had an idea in his mind. Now that Emperor Shunqing was getting old, he still had not appointed a crown prince. If there was any accident, the problems that Dongli Kingdom would face would be even more serious.
Nangong Junze couldn't help but secretly look around. When he met Xiao Jingchuan's gaze, his heart suddenly tightened. If there was anyone in Dongli Kingdom who was his biggest obstacle at this time, it must be Xiao Jingchuan. It seemed that if he wanted to achieve anything, he had to get rid of Xiao Jingchuan first.
But as far as he knew, Xiao Jingchuan was not favored by Emperor Shunqing. Even if he was full of talents, if he could not win the favor of Emperor Shunqing, then it would be harder than ascending to the sky for him to ascend to the throne. It seemed that he had to take action himself and let the other princes compete with each other so that he could take advantage of the situation.
Nangong Junze looked around, seeing the harmony and luxury in the hall, and immediately had a plan in mind. Thinking of his plan, Nangong Junze smiled slightly.
When his eyes fell on Jiang Shuyu, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu get up and leave, Nangong Junze couldn't help but walk towards Jiang Shuyu.
Jiang Wanrong looked at the two people walking one after the other, and her eyes turned involuntarily. She immediately called the maid and whispered a few words in her ear. Seeing the maid nod and leave, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but smile slightly, with a hint of sinisterness flashing in her eyes.
Since she looks most like her aunt, she should have the same fate as her aunt! If people find out that she has a close relationship with the Nanmo Kingdom, I wonder if the General's Mansion will still exist!
But Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but be alert at this moment. Looking at the tea stains on the skirt, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but frown. She couldn't believe that the palace maids couldn't even do such a small thing.
Following the palace maid to the side room, a faint fragrance came. Jiang Shuyu couldn't help holding her breath, watching her leaving back, and immediately walked out from the side.
