Make your ex-boyfriend cry? That's easy!

Jiang Yan frowned and said worriedly, "Brother, do you think that with our remarkable achievements this time, will the higher-ups become even more dissatisfied with our Jiang family? Will they find another excuse to punish us?"

The emperor's mind has always been unfathomable, as elusive as the vast starry sky.

Even someone as smart as Jiang Ziyi racked his brains to think of something to comfort Jiang Yan, and didn't know where to start for a long time.

In the end, Jiang Ziyi could only pat his brother's back gently, sighed deeply, and said slowly: "Things have come to this point, there is no point in thinking too much. Let's just keep our feet on the ground and take one step at a time."

"Our Jiang family has been loyal and righteous for generations, loyal to the emperor and never doing anything that would cause us to regret. We have also been dedicated and dedicated to the people, with a clear conscience. I just don't believe that in this bright and clear world, where justice prevails, we can still allow treacherous villains to act recklessly."

……

And the old emperor who was in a high position naturally looked down on the Jiang family from the bottom of his heart.

Over the years, the Jiang family's influence in the court has grown, and they have made numerous military achievements and gained a great reputation.

The old emperor was unable to sleep or eat because of this. He always felt that the Jiang family would sooner or later become a serious threat to him. He was afraid that one day the Jiang family would threaten his supreme throne with its tremendous power and high prestige.

Although the Jiang family was united and had never harbored any rebellious thoughts, the old emperor's suspicion and fear did not diminish in the slightest.

He was always thinking about how to weaken the power of the Jiang family. It would be best if he could find a suitable crime to execute the entire Jiang family and eliminate the trouble once and for all.

Even the crown prince whom he personally appointed, the old emperor still had a grudge against him and regarded him as a thorn in his side.

When I agreed to let Prince Jun Linyuan go to the border for training, I was hoping that he would encounter something unexpected.

Unexpectedly, Jun Linyuan not only returned to the capital safely, but was also highly praised for his outstanding military achievements, and his prestige within and outside the court was even greater than before.

This undoubtedly made the old emperor feel even more uneasy.

The old emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over, and the resentment on his face seemed to be able to ignite the air around him.

He clenched his teeth tightly, making a creaking sound that made people shudder.

The old emperor smiled sinisterly and immediately ordered Jun Linyuan to be sent to the disaster area to provide relief to the victims, and he gave the euphemism that the prince's personal visit would better appease the people.

However, everyone knew that the old emperor's real purpose was to use this terrible plague to get rid of Jun Linyuan, the thorn in his side.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, the old emperor tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, his heart filled with worry and anxiety.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, especially when he thought of the Jiang family, which was a thorn in his throat, and he became extremely anxious.

So he hurriedly got up from the bed, without even bothering to tidy up his clothes, and hurried to the desk, personally drafting an edict, requiring the second son of the Jiang family to accompany the prince to provide disaster relief.

On the other hand, the Jiang family members who were summoned late at night to receive the order said: ...

Filled with helplessness and anger, they suppressed their sleepiness and dissatisfaction and respectfully accepted the imperial edict.

After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, the Jiang family members put away the hypocritical smiles on their faces and looked at each other. For a moment, the whole hall was silent and no one knew what to say.
