Chapter 478: Chapter 479

Jian Xubai stood on the palace road for a few moments, in the end did not go to the Qingxi Palace, but went out of the palace towards the Qingjiang County Lord’s residence.

This day it was the turn of Lady Shouchunbo to serve the Grand Princess of Jin, County Princess Qingjiang so in her own home, hearing that Jian Xu Bai came alone, she was busy welcoming him out seeing this younger brother’s pale face, she was taken aback, “What’s wrong?”

“His Majesty wants me to kill Shan Mei.” Jian Xu Bai shook his head, and only after he followed County Head Qing Jiang into the inner hall and waved away his left and right, did he say in a hard voice, “My pleas for mercy were in vain, so I could only come to find Big Sister to try to find a way!”

“His Majesty wants to kill sister Song?!” Princess Qingjiang was shocked, “Because of commoner Cui Miren?”

Seeing her brother nodding, she couldn’t help but frown, “In the end, concubine Cui Miren was only a concubine when His Majesty was still in the Eastern Palace, and was not a virtuous and innocent person, so why did His Majesty make such a big fuss over her?”

When she had only learned earlier that Song Yixiao had schemed Cui Jian Ren to death, Sheriff Qing Jiang was very dissatisfied with her younger brotherinlaw.

This dissatisfaction was mainly because she felt that Song Yixiao’s approach was not in line with the gentle and virtuous style of a great lady, but between Cui Miren and Song Yixiao, County Head Qingjiang was definitely in favor of Song Yixiao!

What’s more, the cause of this matter, also is CuiMiLi heart vicious in the front, SongYiXiao revenge in the back, strictly talking about, CuiMiLi himself also have to take the action of death, can not be completely according to the “murder side consort” theory.

At this moment, Princess Qingjiang asked for details, “Did His Majesty say that in anger?”

“In my opinion, His Majesty made the decision after consideration.” Jian Xu Bai shook his head and said, “His Majesty only gave me three days to do so, and as Royal Grandmother and Second Auntie are both tired, I didn’t dare to disturb them, and after thinking about it, I could only come to entrust it to Elder Sister.”

Princess Qingjiang murmured, “Don’t panic, since His Majesty has given you three days, it is obvious that he has left some room for manoeuvre. In this case, I’m free now, so I’ll go to the palace to see if His Majesty is a little less angry.”

Speaking here, she couldn’t help but complain about Song Yixiao, “She is also too ignorant! But a maid, and I heard that the maid is now married and has a fat boy, living well? Why did she make such a big fuss in the first place? She told my mother and grandmother how much she had to worry about, and now she has come back to harm you!”

“Both of Shan Mei’s birth parents were not virtuous, big sister also knows that.” Jian Xu Bai smiled bitterly and spoke for his wife, “Although that maid was only an inferior, she was willing to lay down her life to protect her, so how could she not be nostalgic? In the end, it’s also the concubine Cui’s fault, at a young age, she’s that vicious!”

Now the wood has become a boat, Qingjiang County Lord again counting down sisterinlaw is not helpful, see the younger brother out of words to maintain, but also lazy to fight with him, only said, “You will eat tea in my place, I go in to change clothes on the palace!”

She changed her dress for the face of the saint and rode to the palace gates to ask for an audience.

Emperor Duanhua had the best impression of Princess Qingjiang among his sisters because although Princess Qingjiang was not of a gentle and caring nature, she had been widowed since the death of the county horse, and had worked diligently to bring up her foolish only son, which was very much in line with Emperor Duanhua’s desire for a woman to be chaste and respectful.

So despite knowing that she must have been entrusted by Jian Xu Bai to come and intercede for Song Yixiao, after pondering, she still ordered, “Declare!”

After a long time, County Princess Qingjiang was led up to the hall by the chamberlain, bowing and saluting, and Emperor Duanhua gave her a hand in vain, saying gently, “Cousin doesn’t need to be polite!”

Another order to give a seat.

County Princess Qingjiang thanked the grace and took her seat, and was about to steal a glance to gauge the Emperor’s expression, when she heard the Emperor say first, “I heard that Ping’an’s concubine had a happy ending, and I have yet to congratulate my cousin to her face.”

Saying this, he smiled and arched his hand, saying, “Congratulations cousin will be blessed with a grandson!”

“Please don’t!” County Princess Qingjiang rose and returned the salute, “Your Majesty is now honored with the title of Nine and Five, how can I be responsible for Your Majesty’s personal congratulations?”

She said this with a very grateful face, but her heart sank!

As expected, Emperor Duanhua laughed loudly, “What are you talking about? Cousin’s grandchildren are also my nephews and grandchildren, aren’t they? Speaking of Pingan’s son is really a pity, so neat child, if you can study, will be a good, no wonder this will also be able to share my worries! But good thing I am not too old, his children, I think will be able to use for me.”

County Princess Qingjiang busily said, “Ping’an’s son has been blessed with little fortune, and relies on the grace of the Heavenly Family to be where he is today. If he has a son who can be used by His Majesty, that would really be a blessing for the Zhuo family’s clan!”

She knows that the Duanhua Emperor deliberately mentioned Zhuo Pingan and Zhuo Pingan’s son, not only to care about their cousin, in fact, is to imply their own: do not meddle in the words of the Emperor will be rewarded in the Zhuo family descendants above; otherwise …

Although County Lord Qingjiang wanted to give her brother and sisterinlaw a helping hand, compared to her own children and grandchildren, in the end, it was the latter that was more important.

What’s more, what Emperor Duanhua wants to kill now is Song Yixiao, not Jian Xu Bai. Princess Qingjiang was Jian Xu Bai’s sister, but she was only Song Yixiao’s great aunt.

For the sake of a sisterinlaw, hitching her own children and grandchildren’s future, of course, the Qingjiang County Lord is not willing!

“Turn around and persuade A Xu! He’s still so young and has a great future ahead of him, why should he offend His Majesty for the sake of a wife?” Quickly making her choice, County Lord Qingjiang sighed darkly in distress, “It’s a good thing that Chao Ping is still young if handled well, she may not know how her birth mother died in the future!”

She thought in her heart, the next did not mention this again, only along with the Duanhua Emperor said some short words, said he just did not face the Holy Spirit for some days, see these two days one after another accident, worried about the Duanhua Emperor was angry, this is specifically to see the emperor.

Emperor Duanhua thanked her for her “concern” and saw that it was about time, implying that he still had a batch of zhangzi to correct, so County Princess Qingjiang wisely retired.

When she returned to the Qingjiang County Lord’s Mansion, Jian Xu Bai was eagerly awaiting her return, and when she finally saw her eldest sister return, she was busy welcoming her.

“Go in and talk!” County Lord Qingjiang nodded at him and slightly raised her lower jaw, “All of you go down, there’s no need to serve now.”

After the two siblings entered the house, Jian Xu Bai personally poured her tea and watched her sip it before placing it on the table before asking in an urgent voice, “Big sister, how is it?!”

“It’s bad.” Sheriff Qingjiang sighed, “Your … Majesty’s mind is made up!”

Jian Xu Bai’s face suddenly changed, “How could this happen?!”

He couldn’t figure it out, ”Even though concubine Cui was favored over the special room when she was alive, she only served His Majesty for a few days before and after? After her death, His Majesty quickly forgot about her and never mentioned her again, which is an example! Now how could it be that because of her death, he is determined to kill Shan Myo?!”

“You are really concerned!” On her way back to her residence, Princess Qingjiang had also considered this matter in the carriage, and now reminded, “In my opinion, it may not be because of how much His Majesty values concubine Cui’s, but because she is on the cusp of the storm, and His Majesty is not likely to deal with it lightly at all!”

She analyzed, “Think about the events of the past two days, even the Liang King, a brother of His Majesty’s mother, has failed His Majesty’s trust, how does His Majesty feel in his heart? At this juncture, it was also revealed that the Empress and Song’s younger siblings had murdered His Majesty’s favorite concubine before His Majesty ascended to the throne if His Majesty doesn’t deal with them severely, how can he deter those petty criminals?”

“What King Liang has committed is the crime of treason!” Jian Xu Bai said, “But what the Empress and Shan Myo did was at most a backyard dispute of which Shan Myo had an old grudge against that concubine Cui, and it can even be said that it was an evil deed, and it can’t even be considered a backyard dispute! How can the two be compared to each other?”

Sheriff Qingjiang shook her head and said: ”You say that because you love and cherish younger sibling Song, and have deliberately favored her! Concubine Cui is nothing, but she is in the end someone who serves His Majesty, and as the saying goes, you still have to look at the master’s face when beating a dog! What’s more, she’s also His Majesty’s first cousin?”

The Sheriff knew that Jian Xubai and Song Yixiao were in love, so she raised Jane Qing Yue, “Originally, husband and wife are one, and it is the husband’s responsibility to discipline his wife, and if sister Song did such a thing, you will definitely be involved. His Majesty did not pursue your intention this time, already for the sake of brothers, to give you the honor. If you still refuse to comply, if His Majesty is furious, even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about the peace of the court, right?”

“It’s just us siblings here, so I’ll be honest with you: Chaopin, the county head, was appointed by the Imperial Grandmother!”

“Originally there was no problem, but since you also know the conflict that occurred between Royal Grandmother and His Majesty over the deaths of Auntie and Auntie Dai Guo, you should know that His Majesty is bound to have a grudge against Royal Grandmother!”

“Chao Ping has both the other eye of the Imperial Grandmother and her birth mother is Sister Song, what do you think His Majesty will think of her?!”

“Don’t say she’s young, His Majesty won’t bother with her His Majesty doesn’t even need to get serious with her, he just needs to show that he doesn’t like this cousinniece, and you think of the consequences!”

Qingjiang County Lord said here in one breath, Fang picked up the bowl of tea to moisturize his throat, sighed, “You think about it! In fact, if sisterinlaw Song is here, most likely she will also have to think about the child.”

“Big sister.” Jian Xu Bai was silent for a long time and suddenly said, “If brotherinlaw is still around, are you also willing to give up your brotherinlaw for the sake of Ping’an Er?”

County Lord Qingjiang’s teadrinking movement froze, and a moment later she said in a mute voice, “Your brotherinlaw has always been humble and wellmannered, and has never done anything to make things difficult for me!”

“… “Jane Void White pursed her lips for a while and raised her head, “I’ll take my leave after I’ve bothered big sister today!”

“You wait!” The Qingjiang County Lord hurriedly put down her tea bowl and stepped forward to block his way, “A Xu, I know you’re disappointed in your sister right nowbut count on my sister to beg you, don’t do anything foolish!”

She grabbed Jian Xu Bai’s arm and looked up at her younger brother who was about ten years younger than herself but a head taller than herself, her pupils could not hide her trepidation and worry, ”When your brotherinlaw went, I also thought that the sky had collapsed! Later on, I found out about Ping’an Er’s condition, and at that time, I really wanted to get it over with and bring Ping’an Er down to find him and forget about it! But you see, I’ve survived all these years, haven’t I? And Ping’an Er is going to have a baby soon! So in this world, there’s really no hurdle that can’t be overcome. Promise me, don’t be impulsive!”

“Big sister is worried that I will send someone to contact King Su?” Jian Xu Bai was stunned, smiled, gently pushed her hand away, and said gently, “Elder sister is overly concerned, His Majesty only gave me three days, what did elder sister think I could do?”

The Qingjiang County Lord bit her lower lip and said, “Then what … are you going to do now?”

She asked this, since she hoped that Jian Xubai would give her an accurate answer however, Jian Xubai just smiled, and in the end did not say anything, and just walked away.
