无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Both insiders and outsiders basically had this consensus: if it wasn’t for the consideration of General Jiang Mubai back then, the Emperor would not have allowed his beloved woman to marry Jiang Ruobai.

Jiang Ning said, “Even if I shamelessly try to please the Prince of Huai, he won’t have a good relationship with the Jiang family, so I don’t have to worry about him. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. The food is getting cold, you should eat.”

Wenren Zong shook his head, “Prince of Huai has always been hiding his true abilities, showing how insidious and ruthless he is. Who would have thought that even the King of Chen, who has always had the best relationship with him, was killed by his schemes?”

“If he wasn’t a formidable person, he wouldn’t have come out on top and become the ultimate winner in this palace coup.”

“I have always wondered if it was Prince Huai’s suggestion for King Chen to send me to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to capture your mother.”

Jiang Ning said, “I have thought about this as well. If it really was Prince Huai’s suggestion to King Chen, then Prince Huai’s real goal was actually to deal with the Prince of Yu.”

“That’s right. He arranged for the Prince of Huai to send someone to harass the Jiang family in order to lure the Prince of Yu there, while Prince Huai himself could take the opportunity to lead troops into the palace, kill King Chen, and save the Emperor. Thus, gaining great merit and becoming the biggest winner in the whole incident.”

Jiang Ning said, “If this is really the case, then Prince Huai is the most insidious person.”

Wenren Zong said, “Not necessarily. I think that the Prince of Yu might have known Prince Huai’s conspiracy but still chose to go to the Jiang family first. That can only mean that you are more important to him than the Imperial Throne.”

Jiang Ning didn’t say anything.

“It’s a pity that King Chen was executed, and the truth is now impossible to know.” Wenren Zong sighed lightly.

Jiang Ning said, “Don’t think too much about it since it’s already come to this.”

“I may not think about it, but you have to,” Wenren Zong said meaningfully.

“Think about what? The Emperor is still in good health now. Prince Huai can be the Crown Prince, but whether he can become the Emperor still depends on his fate. No one should laugh until the end,” Jiang Ning remarked.

Wenren Zong looked at her and smiled, “It’s a pity that Ningning is a girl. If you were a man and entered the government as an official, it would surely be a blessing for our Great Sheng Dynasty.”

Jiang Ning smiled gracefully, “Even without becoming an official, I can still control the situation at will. In the martial arts world, never underestimate the elderly, children, and women, especially disabled women.”

Wenren Zong was slightly taken aback.

After thinking carefully, he smiled and said, “You’re right.”

People of these categories who can survive in the martial arts world must have extraordinary abilities and should not be provoked easily.

“I should leave the palace now, Thirteen, goodbye.”

“Goodbye?”

Wenren Zong watched her figure, carefully savoring the last two words.

Three days later, the Imperial Court issued an edict to banish Wenren Zong to Lingnan.

A thousand miles away from Chang’an City, the place was not bitterly cold, but it was also rarely visited by people. It was hot and humid, with wild animals roaming in the dense forests, and miasma everywhere.

If one was not careful, they would be trapped in the forest, unable to leave.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Ning thought carefully and wondered if Lingnan was the same place mentioned in the poem where the lychees were sent to the concubines?

That would be modern Guangxi and Hainan, right?

How beautiful it must be there.

Wait, this is ancient times, not to be viewed with a modern perspective.

In this era, Lingnan was still a somewhat frightening place, and many criminals were exiled there.

Huang Ying saw her in a daze and thought she was sad, so she gently advised, “Miss, don’t be sad, exile is better than losing your life.”

Xiachu said, “This servant heard that people who are exiled to Lingnan rarely survive. There are so many ferocious wild animals there, it’s quite frightening. However, this has nothing to do with us. No matter what happens outside, our Jiang family will not fall..”
