Now that the funeral was over, Xie Jiaojiao began to plan to return to Jiangnan. After all, they had been away for so long and their family missed them a lot.

However, He Mengwan’s illness became more and more serious, and it seemed that he was about to die.

When she was almost exhausted, she called Jiang Ruonan to her bedside.

Jiang Ruonan felt very uncomfortable.

"What I am most worried about is you. You have reached the age of marriage, but as for marriage... I thought there was still a long time and I could help you choose slowly, but now I am afraid that is no longer possible..."

Jiang Ruonan cried and shook her head.

When he left He Mengwan's room, he asked his elder brother, "Mom was in good health before, why is she like this now?"

Jiang Aonan then told the truth. It turned out that the queen had captured He Mengwan.

When she was young, the queen was jealous of He Mengwan for having a face more beautiful than hers. If it weren't for her family background and status being higher than He Mengwan's, it would be unknown who would be sitting on the queen's throne now.

She felt angry when she thought that the emperor had married her but was still thinking of inviting He Mengwan to the palace to accompany him.

But because He Mengwan was concerned about Jiang Zhongren, and there was friendship between the emperor and Jiang Zhongren, they were able to be together.

It was a rare opportunity to tease this woman, so she would not let it go...

If He Mengwan hadn't held on to wait for Jiang Zhongren, she would have committed suicide long ago!

When Jiang Ruonan heard this, veins popped up all over his body, he clenched his fists, and rushed out.

Where did he go? Of course, it was the prison where the Nalan family was imprisoned.

Jiang Aonan ignored him. There were some things he couldn't do, so it was good that Jiang Ruonan could do it.

On that day, it rained all over the capital city. The rain continued all night long. The next day, there was a bit of a late spring chill and a strong wind outside, which made Xie Jiaojiao not want to go out.

I didn't go out for two days.

But someone came to the palace and said that the eldest prince's wife was sick!

Xie Jiaojiao didn't think it was strange at first, but when she walked into the yard, she suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Weinan: "Now the eldest prince is the emperor, why is my elder sister still the eldest prince's consort?"

Jiang Weinan naturally had no idea of ​​the situation.

The two arrived at the front yard.

Someone in the palace said, "The emperor wants to invite Madam Jiang to the palace to see the eldest prince's wife!"

But He Mengwan couldn't get up from his bed, so how could he go to see Jiang Linglong?

Xie Jiaojiao asked, "Eunuch, I wonder what disease the eldest prince's wife has?"

The eunuch stammered, "The eldest prince's wife got caught in the rain a few days ago, and she went back home and fell asleep, but she hasn't woken up yet. The emperor is a little worried, so he wants to ask Madam Jiang to come to the palace to visit her."

"How could the eldest princess get caught in the rain?"

The eunuch had no patience to answer, but when he saw Jiang Zhongren coming back, he whispered, "We servants don't know about these things."

Jiang Zhongren came over and said, "Eunuch Fu, please wait for a moment. My wife is seriously ill and definitely cannot enter the palace. I want to talk to my niece-in-law and I'll let her follow you to the palace."

Eunuch Fu nodded respectfully, but he still had to give Jiang Zhongren some face.

Jiang Zhongren called Xie Jiaojiao aside.

"uncle."

Jiang Zhongren gave her a helping hand.

I want to tell you something...

Xie Jiaojiao was shocked after hearing what Jiang Zhongren said.

"I actually heard all this this morning. Linglong is still in a coma. Tell her that she chose this path and our family has done our best to get her to that position. Tell her to think about the people at home."

Xie Jiaojiao understood what he meant and bowed slightly: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely convey this message to you."

Jiang Zhongren nodded and asked her to follow Eunuch Fu.

Before leaving, Jiang Weinan reminded her: "Be careful."

"do not worry."

When they arrived outside the palace wall, Xie Jiaojiao got off the carriage. She didn't say much along the way, but just lowered her head slightly and followed Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu took her directly to where Jiang Linglong lived now.

"Madam Jiang, the eldest prince's wife, is here."

After he finished speaking, he saw someone walking over in a hurry and whispering something in his ear. His face changed slightly, and he said to Xie Jiaojiao: "Madam Jiang, please, I still have some things to do over there, so I can only take you here."

Xie Jiaojiao bowed slightly, and he waved the whisk in his hand, turned around and walked away with another eunuch, his steps were a little unsteady.

Xie Jiaojiao walked inside, and immediately a palace maid in palace dress came in front to lead the way.

"First Prince Consort, did you get caught in the rain that day and never wake up?"

The maid nodded.

"Has His Majesty the Emperor come to see the Crown Prince's wife these days?"

"Yes, the emperor would come to see our queen after the morning court session every day, but the queen has not woken up, so he brought the lady here. His Majesty thought that if the queen had relatives by her side, she might wake up earlier."

As they spoke, they arrived at where Jiang Linglong lived now.

Xie Jiaojiao looked up and saw that this place was called Yunxia Pavilion.

As soon as I opened the door, there was a smell of medicine.

Xie Jiaojiao walked to the bedside and saw Jiang Linglong lying on the bed with a peaceful look on her face. Her skin was still as white as cream, but her whole face looked very pale. Even her lips, which used to be rosy, now had no trace of blood.

"What did the doctor say?"

The maid shook her head and whispered, "The imperial physician said that the queen just caught a cold, nothing else, it's just that the queen herself didn't want to wake up..."

"Okay, you go down, I'll just accompany the eldest princess. Also, go get me a bowl of salt water and a bowl of sugar water."

The maid bowed slightly and turned around to get ready.

After everyone left, Xie Jiaojiao reached out and held Jiang Linglong's hand: "Big sister, are you blaming yourself or regretting, or both? Is that why you don't want to wake up?"

No one answered her...

In fact, this story started a few days ago. On that day in the court, everyone was urging the current emperor to establish a queen.

It is only natural for Jiang Linglong to become the queen.

But at this moment, someone started a trouble...

"Your Majesty, no!"

Civil and military officials looked at this man.

This person was none other than He Zhongcheng, who had always been at odds with Jiang Zhongren.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is your legal wife. It is understandable that she was named the Queen. However... during the coup, she brutally killed Yun Baolin, who was pregnant with your child, in order to save her own life. The position of the Queen is related to the prosperity of our Xuanyuan Kingdom. How can someone like her, who only wants to save her own life and brutally kills the royal bloodline, be worthy of being the Queen..."

At this time, someone immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty, what He Zhongcheng said is very true! From the fact that the Crown Princess killed Yun Baolin, it can be seen that the Crown Princess must be a jealous person. Moreover, before becoming the Crown Princess, she had a close relationship with our General Yi..."

"How bold!" Xuanyuan Mo roared angrily.

The man knelt down and said respectfully, "I think it's good enough that you didn't give her a three-foot white silk. She is really unfit to be the queen, Your Majesty!"

He knelt down, and all the people in his faction knelt down: "Your Majesty, please reconsider..."
