Chapter 386: Everything Was Worth It
Jiang Yi said, “Punishment is inevitable, but no one knows what the emperor is thinking right now. However, with father and Uncle here, even if there is punishment, our lives won’t be lost.”
Jiang Ning asked, “Why did you suddenly go to the Court of Judicial Review?”
Jiang Yi worked at the Imperial Academy, which was noble and leisurely, unlike the Court of Judicial Review.
“I went to see my brother-in-law.”
“Brother-in-law?” Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows.
Jiang Yi laughed, “I used to be very dissatisfied with him, but I have to admit he did a good job this time. I saw it with my own eyes, he cut off one of the Princess Consort’s ears. The Princess Consort was so scared that she fainted.”
Jiang Ning didn’t say anything.
Jiang Yi continued, “It’s just a pity that when he dealt with the Crown Prince, I didn’t see it with my own eyes.”
“How is the Crown Prince’s injury?”
“Worse than yours.”
“Really?”
“Don’t you believe it?” Jiang Yi laughed, “Your leg was hurt by the Princess Consort, who is cruel but still just a woman with limited strength. Prince of Yu is skilled in martial arts, and he used a knife to directly shatter the Crown Prince’s kneecap. Your bone is broken, but his is crushed to pieces. Even Yu Shengshou can’t help.”
Yun Dai remained silent.
Jiang Yi became more and more excited, “Do you know what is the most admirable thing?”
“What?”
“Prince of Yu cut the Crown Prince’s bones to pieces in front of the Emperor and our father.”
“The Emperor didn’t stop him?”
“Our father was there. I heard that father directly blocked the Emperor. The Emperor was so anxious that he kept stomping his feet.” Jiang Yi chuckled, “Although father seems to dislike Prince of Yu on the surface, he still protects his son-in-law in his heart.”
Thinking of the fat emperor’s anxious and stomping appearance, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but show a little smile.
“Father, the old fox, always handles things smoothly. This time he protected Prince of Yu in front of the Emperor and went against him. I’m afraid the Emperor will bear a grudge.” She said.
“There’s no other way. Under that situation, Prince of Yu was avenging you, so father has to protect him. Besides, father is angry too.”
“I think Prince of Yu’s punishment won’t be light this time.” Jiang Ning said, “Even with father and Uncle pleading, it’s hard to avoid a living crime.”
“That’s for sure. After all, he’s just a prince, and that was the Crown Prince. To commit such a crime is a serious offense. If he isn’t punished, the Imperial Court would be in chaos. The Emperor wouldn’t be able to explain it to the people and the court.”
“It’s a bit troublesome.”
The siblings both fell silent.
Jiang Yi laughed again, “I think it’s a good thing that all this happened.”
“What’s good about it?”
“If you can recover from a broken bone, everything is worth it.”
“That’s indeed good news.” Jiang Ning looked at her leg, “Third Brother, I heard that there’s a seamstress in the mansion who has excellent embroidery skills. Call her over sometime to make me a few new pairs of shoes.”
“That’s easy. I’ll call her over tomorrow to make shoes just for you. Make a few hundred pairs so that when your leg is healed, you can wear a different pair every day.” Jiang Yi said with a smile, “I’ll take you out of town to have fun at that time.”
Thinking of his sister running and playing in the spring sun with her beautiful shoes, Jiang Yi felt happy in his heart, only hating that time passed too slowly.
Jiang Mubai and Jiang Ruobai, the two brothers, entered the palace one after the other.
In the eyes of outsiders, their relationship was not only bad, but also very hostile. They couldn’t stand each other and would fight in front of the Emperor if they could..
