Bondage

After leaving Changxin Palace, Song Wan still felt that his cheeks were hot and he was quite cautious.

And Jiang Xingjian didn't know whether he forgot or what, he kept holding her hand and never let go.

Song Wan knew what his aunt meant, Jiang Xingjian had taken two concubines, but they had never consummated their marriage.

If there is a concubine's eldest son in the Hou's mansion, there will be chaos in the future. My aunt loves her and doesn't want her or her child to be wronged.

only……

Song Wan looked down at the hands of the two holding each other, feeling vague in his heart.

If he had never been to the frontier, or had never met Lin Jiayue, she would definitely be a loving and respectful couple.But now, it is not known what will happen in the future.

Song Wan's nose was sore, and he tried slightly to pull out his hand.

It's just that as soon as she moved her fingers, Jiang Xingjian held her tightly.

The man neither turned his head nor spoke, but held her hand more and more tightly.

"Husband..."

Jiang Xingjian stopped, followed by Heng Zhiheng Wu, and the eunuch sent by Concubine Yun to look after Song Wan.

"The place on the wall where the smoked cage is placed on the east side of the main courtyard is empty?"

Song Wan nodded blankly.

Jiang Xingjian froze, pursed his lips and said, "It's a masterpiece."

Song Wan's eyes were flustered, and she didn't know how to answer him for a moment. The girl was shy and dazed, looking a little silly.Jiang Xingjian suppressed the joy in his heart, and dragged Song Wan to Yanqing Palace, Concubine Jiang's residence.

It wasn't until entering the gate of Yanqing Palace that Song Wan came back to his senses.

It was quiet in Yanqing Palace, not at all the warm and lively appearance of Changxin Palace.

"Young Master Jiang, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

The eunuch in charge of Changxin Palace arrived late, Jiang Xingjian pulled Song Wan and was about to meet his sister, but the eunuch said: "Madam Jiang, please slow down."

"A few days ago, the Qin Tianjian said that the empress has been ill recently. It may be that the zodiac sign is rabbit, snake, sheep, and dog. It may offend the empress. You should wait in the small garden."

Jiang Xingjian frowned, but Song Wan sighed silently, and the eunuch of Changxin Palace also narrowed his eyes.

"Husband, let's go, don't make your mother wait for a long time."

Song Wan let go of the hands they were holding, and stood outside Yanqing Palace with a smile.

Jiang Xingjian was worried, and told the eunuchs around him to take good care of Song Wan, and then went to see Jiang Man alone.

In Changxin's bedroom, Jiang Man was wearing a crescent white satin brocade dress, with only a silver bat and pearl hairpin on his head.Although it is not as plain as Song Wan's clothes when she was a widow, she still has a dull look that is rarely seen in the palace.

In the bedroom, only one or two of Jiang Man's confidantes were present.

"Sister."

Jiang Man's eyes were slightly red: "You have worked hard these few years."

"It's my younger brother who is incompetent and failed to relieve my elder sister's worries."

Jiang Man stretched out her slender fingers, her nails glowing with cherry pink, which looked extremely lustrous, and the maid beside her supported her hand and brought it to Jiang Xingjian.

"The gunpowder prescription in that woman's hand can move mountains and flat seas as said?"

"My brother has seen it, it is quite powerful."

Jiang Man covered his lips: "It's not in vain that you have been planning at the border for many years. With this person and this thing, Daddy's vengeance will definitely be avenged."

"..."

Jiang Xingjian pursed his lips, his face turned slightly pale.

Jiang Man has sharp eyebrows and eyes, a heroic appearance rarely seen among women.In terms of facial features, she is three points less charming and two points gentler than the gentle Song Yuning, but Jiang Man has eyes that are unparalleled in the world.

Those eyes are bright and affectionate, even when looking at people with cold eyes, there is also a seductive charm that is eager to speak.

If such a pair of eyes were born on an ordinary woman, it would only give people a sense of frivolity, but on her, it added a bit of desire to conquer for no reason.

If it weren't for her real excellence, she would not have given birth to the fifth prince after only one year in the palace.

After living a life of intrigue and deceit in the palace for a long time, she has become more and more aware of people's hearts and human nature, let alone her younger brother who has grown up with her.

With just one look, she knew what Jiang Xingjian was thinking.

"You want to ask me, why didn't I tell you about Song Wan's marriage to the Marquis Mansion?"

Jiang Xingjian straightened his back, his hands and feet were slightly stiff.

"You come with me."

The two walked to the ear room of the hall, and Jiang Man moved away the white jade Guanyin enshrined in the Small Buddha Hall, revealing the tablet behind it.

"Kneel down."

Jiang Xingjian looked at his father's name and knelt down without hesitation.

"After I accidentally entered the palace and was pregnant with a dragon son, you and your father were immediately arranged to go to the border to be imprisoned and deliver food and grass. This task shouldn't have fallen on the two of you, should it?"

"Yes."

"Father is dead, the Hou's mansion is in rapid decline, the eldest prince's virtue is not good, the prince has been paralyzed for many years, and the third prince Shen Qianbai who was born a thousand years ago is the most threatening, isn't it?".

"Yes."

Jiang Man red-eyed: "You and I know very well that a prince without the support of his family is like a flat boat in the waves, and it is difficult to sail without wind. Don't tell sister, you can't see Song Lan'an's ambition, Song Yuning's plan, you can't see it." Who murdered you and your father behind the scenes!"

Jiang Xingjian pursed his lips, and the light in his eyes slowly faded away.

"Yi'er, sister knows you like Song Wan."

"The palace lanterns, wood carvings, and wrist bracelets that you gave her when you were young were all made by my elder sister with you, and my elder sister also knows that you have been waiting to marry her since you were young.

"But so what?"

"The hatred of killing my father cannot be extinguished. If you want to complain, then blame her for having nowhere to reincarnate. She was reborn in the Song family. If you want to complain, then blame Song Lan'an and Song Yuning for her ambition."

Jiang Man grabbed Jiang Xingjian's shoulder so hard that the nail on his index finger snapped without noticing.

The maid beside her stepped forward, but Jiang Man waved her back.

"If the Song family is destroyed in the future and Song Wan is the only one left, my sister will allow you to be with her. But if Song Lan'an and Song Yuning have not fallen, my sister doesn't mind using Song Wan for surgery if necessary."

"I……"

Jiang Xingjian closed his eyes in pain, and said in a deep voice after a while: "Sister, I know what to do."

Seeing that he seemed to have made up his mind, Jiang Man patted him on the shoulder lightly although he couldn't bear it.Only then did the siblings slowly start talking about the old days, but they seemed to have deliberately forgotten about Song Wan who was still waiting outside the hall.

Song Wan stood outside Yanqing Palace, dizzy from the sun, and the little eunuch who came to take care of her stamped her feet anxiously.

"Mrs. Jiang, you can go back to Changxin Palace with your servant."

"No."

Song Wan said with a smile: "If there is no information from the empress, I will leave on my own, I am afraid that I will be charged with disrespecting the imperial concubine. Wan'er knows that my father-in-law is benevolent, so I can't bear to be exposed to the sun here."

Looking up at the garden of Yanqing Palace, Song Wan pointed to the rockery and said, "Why don't your father-in-law accompany Wan'er to go there for a stroll to escape the summer heat?"

How could the eunuch not agree?He hurriedly greeted Song Wan to go to the shaded place in the garden, but before he entered, he heard rustling in the corner, a group of young eunuchs were bullying and playing around a bruised eunuch.

Song Wan looked at the back of the person on the ground and frowned slightly.
