Chapter 949: Chapter 949: The Silver Is Too Fragrant_1

“I won’t disturb the Prince any longer.”

“By the way,” Prince of Wutong suddenly called her back, “did the Princess Consort know in advance that Master Jieming was not clean?”

Jiang Ning paused, thought for a moment, turned around and smiled, “Prince, I wish for our future cooperation to be pleasant!”

Prince of Wutong watched her skirt swaying, somewhat stunned.

What did she mean?

Future?

Besides these two matters, what else do they need to cooperate on?

Prince of Wutong pondered all the way back without a clue. When he told his Princess Consort about it, she smacked him on the head.

“How can you not understand this? No wonder a commander was toyed with by a little girl!” The Princess Consort was frustrated. “From now on, in the eyes of others, you became a person on the Crown Prince’s side!”

“Ah?”

Prince of Wutong was completely stunned, “I never expressed my stance!”

“Do you need to express it personally? If others think you are, then you are!”

“But … I didn’t do anything.”

“Hehe!” The Princess Consort scoffed, “You led the troops from Chang’an City to Lingshan Temple, turned Lingshan Temple upside down, and brought Master Jieming back. You hit wherever the little girl, the Princess Consort pointed. How can you deny that you’re not part of the Crown Prince’s faction?”

Prince of Wutong stammered, “Why does the Princess Consort have a problem with Master Jieming?”

“Because the Princess Consort has a problem with the Empress.”

“Are you saying that Master Jieming is colluding with the Empress?”

“This is just my guess. Otherwise, I really can’t think of other reasons why the Princess Consort would have a problem with an old monk.” The Princess consort whispered, “I’ve heard a bit of a talk that the old monk declared that the Empress is the embodiment of the phoenix, a matter concerning the fate of the Great Sheng Empire…”

“Isn’t that nonsense?” Prince of Wutong scoffed, “Only you women in the harem believe such things.”

“Whether the prince believes it or not, and whether I believe it doesn’t matter. The key is, does our emperor believe it?” The Princess Consort blinked.

Prince of Wutong was stunned.

Then he realized.

It turned out that the Princess Consort was intentionally picking a fight with Master Jieming. She didn’t want him and Jiang family to take the lead, knew he needs money, so she tempted him with silver.

Damn, he really went for it.

After all, the silver was too enticing.

Ah.

Prince of Wutong sighed.

The Imperial court is indeed a deep water.

He, a military man, really couldn’t grasp all these roundabouts.

“So, what should we do?” Prince of Wutong was worried, “Should we put a clear line between us and the Princess Consort?”

“Why should you?” The Princess Consort scolded him again, “It’s better to help her more, let her owe you a favor. In the future… our daughter can live peacefully with her protecting.”

“Won’t it be that bad.”

“How is it not? Are you a turtle that can live for a thousand years? We didn’t give Ling’an any brothers, when we are gone, who will stand up for Ling’an if she is wronged?”

“The Princess Consort and Ling’an have always been at odds, can she help her?”

“I’ve been observing these few days, and I kind of figured it out. Although the Princess Consort is cunning and slippery, she does have a sincere heart.”

“What do you mean?”

“Have you heard about what happened to He Tang from the Imperial Censorate recently?”

“I’ve heard.”

“He Tang came from a poor family with no background. The Princess Consort openly supported him, personally went to the Cheng Family and humiliated Cheng Renyu. From this incident, I can see, the Princess Consort, is worth making friends with.”
