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

Jiang Weiyang rushed to the palace, only to see the emperor sitting solemnly on the dragon throne, his brows furrowed and his face gloomy. He quickly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor waved his hand with a slightly tired look and said, "My dear minister, please stand up. I have summoned you here in a hurry because of the matter of the Kingdom of Jin.

I have sent people to investigate carefully and learned that the prince of Jin is currently in an inn on the edge of the city. I am very worried and would like to discuss with you a countermeasure. "

"I don't know what the emperor means." Jiang Weiyang lowered his head, his expression respectful and his tone cautious, not daring to guess the emperor's intention easily.

"I think there must be a conspiracy here. The prince of Jin came here in such a secretive way. He must have ulterior motives.

So I order you to go back and quickly reorganize the troops, strengthen training, and be ready to deal with any possible crisis at any time." The emperor's eyes were firm and his words were powerful.

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to negotiate again?" Jiang Weiyang raised his head slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked tentatively.

The emperor stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and said, "I have thought about this matter carefully, and there is no need to discuss it further.

The Jin Kingdom has always been eyeing us covetously. Their prince must have some plan when he comes here. They have come to bully us to the point of being bullied. We must be fully prepared just in case."

Jiang Weiyang clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will do my best to reorganize the troops as soon as I return and will not fail my mission." After saying that, Jiang Weiyang resolutely turned around and prepared to leave.

The emperor suddenly stopped him and said, "My dear, this matter is of great importance. Do not let it leak out, so as not to cause panic among the people. We must proceed in secret first and do not alert the enemy."

The current situation is delicate. If we are not careful, it will lead to turmoil. I entrust this important task to you, and I hope you will act with caution. "The emperor's eyes were deep, and his tone was full of earnest expectations and entrustment.

Jiang Weiyang nodded solemnly, his eyes firm and resolute, and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I understand the pros and cons of this. I will act carefully and live up to Your Majesty's trust." Then he strode out of the palace, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and his steps steady and powerful.

Jiang Weiyang rode his horse at full speed to the barracks. As soon as he got off the horse, he did not dare to stop for a moment and immediately summoned all the generals.

Inside the tent, Jiang Weiyang looked serious, his eyes were like cold stars, and he swept his gaze across the generals fiercely, saying in a deep voice: "Everyone, the emperor has ordered that the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom appeared in the inn near the city. There may be a conspiracy. Now the emperor has ordered us to reorganize the troops and strengthen training. We must be fully prepared in case of emergency."

When the generals heard this, they all looked solemn, as if a heavy burden had been placed on their hearts. They straightened their bodies and responded in unison: "I obey your command!" The voices were uniform and loud, echoing in the tent.

In the days that followed, the barracks were a busy scene. Soldiers trained day and night, from the dawn to the nightfall, shouting and killing, shaking the earth. Jiang Weiyang personally did it and supervised it, not daring to slack off. He shuttled between the ranks, strictly requiring every movement and every formation, sweat soaked his clothes, but he never stopped.

In the inn at the edge of the city, the crown prince of Jin and his advisers were also plotting. The dim candlelight flickered, illuminating their gloomy faces.

"Your Highness, should we advance our plan?" The counselor had a worried look on his face, his brows furrowed, and his tone was full of anxiety.

The eyes of the Crown Prince of Jin were sinister, like a hungry wolf, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He sneered: "Let's observe for a few more days. When there are flaws in the city's defenses, when the time is right, we must catch them off guard."

At the same time, the emperor in the palace was also restless, pacing back and forth in the imperial study. He kept an eye on the movements of the barracks, and every battle report made him nervous.

One day, a spy came in a hurry to report: "General, the crown prince of Jin seems to be acting strangely, and his men frequently leave the city and contact unknown people."

After Jiang Weiyang received the news, his brows furrowed, and his knife-like wrinkles deepened. He knew that a war might break out at any moment, and the situation became more urgent. He immediately summoned his generals again and deployed a tighter defense in the camp.

The atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense, and the people also felt a sense of uneasiness. Discussions in the streets and alleys were heard one after another, but under Jiang Weiyang's strict control, everything was carried out in an orderly manner in secret. The allocation of materials, the dispatch of soldiers, the collection of intelligence, every task was carried out in a tense and orderly manner.

At the Marquis' Mansion, the princess has been able to get out of bed and walk after some time of recuperation.

Su Qing has been busy with the new store recently. Princess Jin has sent people to invite her several times, but she has never gone, saying she is busy.

Since she was sent here by the emperor, just let her live. Who would care about her?

She also worked with Ruxue and Rumei to develop a liquid foundation, which made everyone very happy. People with blemishes on their faces no longer have to worry.

Su Qing brought the developed liquid foundation and took the carriage to the princess's mansion again. No matter what, she had to meet Princess Shaohua today.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw Princess Shaohua walking out.

But Su Qing had seized the opportunity. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the princess. May the princess live a thousand years."

"Hmph~~ You dare to come? I don't want to see you. Go back quickly!" Princess Shaohua shook her sleeves and was about to leave.

"If the princess is angry with Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing is willing to be punished. It's just that Xiaoqing wants to explain the situation to the princess. She is really forced to do so." Seeing that the princess did not speak or leave, Su Qing quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Princess, please forgive me this time! There will never be a next time."

"Do you know that I almost lost the lives of everyone in the princess's mansion because of your words?" Princess Shaohua was very angry when she thought about it.

"Your Majesty has such a keen eye, how could he be deceived by Su Wanrong? Isn't Xiaoqing worried that you might get sick from anger, so she came to you to treat you! Princess, please forgive Xiaoqing this time? Okay?"

Su Qing got goosebumps when she heard what she said. There was no other way. If she wanted to survive, Princess Shaohua was the first person she must not offend.

Princess Shaohua saw Su Qing's sincere face, and thought that it was because of her that she was able to give birth to the twins, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. It is said that a meeting is a third of love, and it would be better if they didn't meet, but after meeting, she couldn't bear it.

"Get up now!" Princess Shaohua said solemnly, "I will give you one chance because of our past friendship, but this is the last time. You need to take good care of yourself and don't let me down again."

After Su Qing heard this, her dull eyes suddenly glowed brightly, and she smiled happily and quickly responded: "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. Xiao Qing will definitely remember your kindness and will never do it again. If I do it again, I will let you deal with me."
