The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

"Go!"

Su Qing took Jiang Nian back to Yilan Courtyard.

The Prince of Pingnan sent someone to summon Jiang Weiyang to the Prince of Pingnan's palace, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Jiang Weiyang took Rufeng and hurried to the Prince of Pingnan's Palace.

Mo Ran arrived early in front of the mansion gate to greet Jiang Wei Yang. Seeing Jiang Wei Yang and Ru Feng dismounting from their horses, he quickly took Jiang Wei Yang to King Pingnan's study.

"Your Highness, the young Marquis is here." Mo Ran announced outside the door.

"Let him in." Li Ying put down the pen he was writing and covered the letter.

Jiang Weiyang pushed the door open and came in. "I, Jiang Weiyang, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince of Pingnan. I wonder what His Royal Highness wants me to do?"

"Come on Wei Yang, please don't be polite, let's sit down and talk."

Jiang Weiyang sat down with Li Ying.

"Wei Yang, please taste it. This is the new tea that was recently sent as tribute from Yunnan this morning. I think it tastes good, so I specially invite you to taste it."

Jiang Weiyang thought for a moment, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. "It's really good tea, sweet and delicious, slightly bitter with a hint of sweetness. The aroma of tea permeates the mouth and nose, making people feel relaxed and happy, and it is endless aftertaste. Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."

"Hmm~ You are indeed a master of tea tasting. I think so too."

"Your Highness asked me to come here not just for tea, right?"

"The one who knows me well is Wei Yang! Last night, my mother sent someone to tell me that my father is seriously ill and intends to let the crown prince govern the country."

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"The Crown Prince has always been at odds with me. If the Crown Prince is the regent, I will definitely be sent out to conquer Pingdi. He won't let me get in his way. Once I'm sent out, this place will no longer be under my control. So I want Wei Yang to give me some advice. What should I do now?"

Li Ying did not have no plan, he just wanted to see whether Jiang Weiyang was loyal and whether he could really be of use.

Jiang Weiyang quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness, please give me your orders. I will follow your arrangements."

"Okay, I just need you to lend me a hand."

"Your Highness, please give your orders."

Li Ying stood up, put the letter on the desk, and handed it to Jiang Weiyang.

"I want you to go there in person and hand the letter to my uncle. I need his help. After the letter is delivered, you will follow your uncle's instructions and cooperate with me. Don't make any mistakes."

"Your Highness means? To seize it directly?"

"You send the letter first. As for whether to take action or not, it depends on what the emperor does."

"Your Highness, please do not be impulsive! The emperor's intentions are hard to predict. What if this is just a test from the emperor? Do you have a plan to deal with it?"

Jiang Weiyang didn't want to take this risk, he still had to support the Jiang family! He also had to protect his woman and children!

"Don't worry, Wei Yang. I will never let you be in danger. We will all be fine. Trust me. It's getting late today. You should set off early tomorrow morning! We can't wait any longer. Success or failure depends on this moment."

"Your Highness, I have something else to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not~" Before Jiang Weiyang could finish his words, the chief eunuch beside the emperor came to convey his order.

"Prince Pingnan received the order."

"Your son Li Ying accepts the order." He knelt down and waited for Eunuch Zhang to announce the order. Jiang Weiyang also knelt down with Li Ying.

"I am not feeling well. Prince Li Ying of Pingnan will go to the palace to take care of me immediately. He is not allowed to return home unless necessary. From now on, all court affairs will be handled by Crown Prince Li Chen. You must assist the Crown Prince in governing the country with all your heart."

Li Ying listened to the imperial edict read by eunuch Zhang and thought to himself, is the emperor afraid that we will do something to the crown prince? So he called us all to the palace, nominally to take care of the sick, but in reality? He imprisoned us.
