After Doctor Wen left, Jiang Lingyi began to think carefully about what had just happened.

He came in front of Jiang Wanqing.

A flash of seriousness passed through his eyes: "So, sister, how did you know that the deep sea red glue was hidden in the dressing box?"

Jiang Wanqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Lingyi.

Eyes flickering.

Then he said, "Brother, if I say that this incident happened just because of what happened in the dream I had before, would you believe it?"

Jiang Lingyi said without hesitation: "I believe whatever you say."

Jiang Wanqing replied: "This is what happened in the dream."

She didn't tell Jiang Lingyi about the little thing.

Instead, he told Jiang Lingyi the truth of the matter in another way.

Jiang Lingyi pursed her lips.

In the previous dream, he believed Jiang Wanqing.

But he didn't believe that the situation in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in his dream would be so bad.

And now.

Even his own offspring were plotted against by others.

This is not just a simple matter.

Plotting against the descendants of the Duke’s Mansion.

Except for the superior, and several other princes.

Who else dares to plot against the Duke's Mansion?

Jiang Lingyi asked, "Did you see it in your dream? Who attacked the heir of the Duke's Mansion?"

Jiang Wanqing frowned slightly.

This... Xiaoxiao didn’t tell me either.

After hesitating for a while, she replied: "I only had that dream intermittently. I don't know who the murderer is."

"What dream are you talking about?"

Liu Yinyin suddenly interrupted.

Liu Yinyin, who had calmed down, stood up and walked to Jiang Lingyi's side.

She looked at Jiang Wanqing with a confused look.

Jiang Wanqing didn't reply, but just looked at Jiang Lingyi.

Jiang Lingyi took Liu Yinyin's hand and smiled gently, "Nothing, it's just, Yinyin, do you remember where this dressing box came from?"

Liu Yinyin was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he finally opened his mouth: "Jiang Lang, have you... forgotten that this dressing box was given to me by the emperor a few years ago? You thought it was beautiful, so you gave it to me."

When Jiang Lingyi heard this, a flash of self-blame flashed across her eyes.

It was because I had given Liu Yinyin so many things that I didn't think about where this dressing box came from.

However, he never thought that because of his unintentional actions, his wife would suffer for so many years.

Jiang Lingyi looked down at Liu Yinyin, "I'm sorry. I didn't know this dressing box would bring you so much pain."

Liu Yinyin shook her head at Jiang Lingyi.

She reached out and smoothed Jiang Lingyi's frown.

Then he consoled her: "If someone sincerely doesn't want you and me to have children, even if they avoid this dressing box, they will eventually have other tricks."

Jiang Wanqing agreed with this statement.

He immediately said, "I think what my sister-in-law said makes sense. Maybe there are spies planted by that person in this yard. Brother, I think you should ask the craftsman to make a box exactly like this dressing box and put it in the house."

Jiang Lingyi nodded, "I will do this. But... this dressing box is a gift from the emperor. It can't be that the emperor can't tolerate the child of my Zhenguo Mansion..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Yinyin's face changed drastically.

She reached out and covered Jiang Lingyi's mouth.

With a look of reproach in his eyes, he asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jiang Lingyi, however, held Liu Yinyin's hand and said nonchalantly, "There are only three of us in this room now. What are we afraid of when we say these things?"

Jiang Wanqing also had a serious expression.

She remembered that Xiao Xiao said that the emperor was suspicious of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so he didn't want the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to have any offspring.

Actually, if you think about it, everything has a trace.

Xiaoxiao once said that in her previous life, the entire family of the Zhenguo Mansion had a bad fate, some died, some were disabled, and her own fate was also tragic.

The huge Duke Zhenguo Mansion has fallen to this point.

If it was just because the prince wanted to seize power, how could it end up like this?

I’m afraid…

It was only with that person's approval that those people dared to touch the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Jiang Lingyi looked at Jiang Wanqing's expression and became more serious.

I was stunned. Could it be true?

Jiang Lingyi patted Liu Yinyin's hand and said seriously, "Madam, please go to the kitchen and heat up the food for your sister. Remember, you should treat what happened today as if it never happened. I will take care of the rest."

Liu Yinyin nodded, "I will only take care of the affairs of the backyard. I believe you can take care of other things. I will listen to you."

After saying that, Liu Yinyin left.

When only Jiang Lingyi and Jiang Wanqing were left in the room.

Jiang Lingyi pursed her lips before asking, "So... sister, is it true that His Majesty doesn't want our Zhenguo Mansion to have another generation of heirs?"

Jiang Wanqing met Jiang Lingyi's gaze and nodded.

Jiang Lingyi took a deep breath and took a step back.

Then, he sneered, "How dare he? Father is his brother, and he is also the one who gave up being the emperor himself and wanted him to sit on that position. If father wanted to be the emperor, he could have done it twenty years ago!

Over the past few decades, my father has been guarding the border town all year round and rarely spends time with us family members! How can His Majesty be so suspicious of our Jiang family! "

Jiang Wanqing lowered his eyes.

He sneered, "Brother, if I were him, I would also be suspicious. Father commands hundreds of thousands of troops, and my second brother also has some prestige in the army, and you, eldest brother... are a new noble in the court. Our Jiang family... has too long a hand."

"It's all bullshit!"

Jiang Lingyi, who has always been gentle and elegant, swore for the first time.

He said, "Father has already handed in his military token. It is true that the court now values ​​civil officials over military officials. The remaining ones are either useless or the prince's men.

So the emperor wanted to take back the military seal but didn't dare to do so, and had to give it to his father. He was afraid that no matter who he gave it to, it would cause a fight between the princes.

Furthermore, the emperor originally wanted to arrange a marriage between you and the prince, but your father was afraid that we had already gotten involved in the military power of the court, and he didn’t want you to get involved in the harem, forcing our family to take sides.

So in order to avoid suspicion, I brought up the marriage at the Marquis of Xingchang's mansion as an excuse to keep you away from the disputes in the harem.

You married into the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion, which was a marriage of downgrade. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion can serve as your confidence.

But if you marry any prince, they will have three palaces and six courtyards in the future.

So, sister, don't blame your father for arranging this marriage for you. Zhou Zigu treated you like that, I will settle the score with him sooner or later!"

Jiang Wanqing was stunned.

She always thought that her marriage was because her father valued his promise.

But I didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns behind this marriage.

After a while, she finally opened her mouth: "So... Father doesn't have a prince he likes?"
