Chapter 218: Speak Of The Devil And He Shall Appear
But on the surface, she still smiled warmly, “Speaking of which, I haven’t met this Heir Apparent’s Wife yet. I heard that after the Heir of Yongning Marquis passed away, this Heir Apparent’s Wife was heartbroken and nearly followed the Heir Apparent. I’ve long wanted to meet this Heir Apparent’s Wife who is so deeply affectionate.”
“Ruanxi does not know that this Heir Apparent’s Wife had already followed the Heir Apparent. The current Heir Apparent’s Wife was originally a Concubine. Due to Pregnancy, she gave birth to a Son not long ago. His Majesty pitied this Child for being born without a father and could not bear to see Yongning Marquis Manor lose its Lineage, so he decided to make this Concubine the Heir Apparent’s Wife.”
Unexpectedly there was this connection, Jiang Ruanxi was a bit shocked at heart.
Before she could speak, a voice came from the door, “Yongning Marquis Manor Heir Apparent’s Wife has arrived.”
Soon, a plump woman appeared at the door, wearing a goose-yellow short jacket.
Jiang Ruanxi was slightly shocked. Wasn’t this Lin Tingting?
How did she become the Heir Apparent’s Wife?
Unexpectedly, after using Lin Tingting back then, she thought she would surely die, but unexpectedly her Fate was so strong that she turned around relying on the Child.
These methods probably couldn’t be achieved by Lin Tingting alone, right?
“Aiyo, speak of the devil and she appears.”
Jiang Ruanxi smiled, lowered her eyes, and concealed the emotions in them.
The Empress called Lin Tingting here today. Could it be that she knew her Identity?
“The Imperial Advisor said this Heir Apparent’s Wife is a fortunate person. Look, even Young Master Sun has passed away, yet she still had the good fortune to become Pregnant and gave birth to a Son in one shot. Don’t you think she really has good fortune?”
So it was Jiang Kui’s doing.
Jiang Ruanxi understood everything and sneered coldly in her heart.
First stuffing people into the Eastern Palace, now bringing Lin Tingting to disgust her, creating a Gap between the Empress and her.
It had to be said that this move was truly brilliant.
Jiang Ruanxi raised her head and smiled in agreement, “Mother Empress is right. For her to rise from a Concubine’s Identity to the position of Heir Apparent’s Wife after the Heir Apparent died, she truly is a fortunate person.”
As soon as Jiang Ruanxi finished speaking, Lin Tingting had already arrived before her.
“This concubine pays respects to the Empress, and greets the Crown Princess.”
It had been over half a year since seeing Lin Tingting, and she didn’t look haggard at all. Instead, she was much plumper. It seemed she had been doing well in the Sun Family during this time.
After Lin Tingting looked up and saw Jiang Ruanxi, surprise flashed in her eyes, but she was no longer the impulsive girl from half a year ago. She quickly restrained her emotions.
It seemed that during the time she was not in the Capital, she had become much smarter.
The Empress smiled at her, “Quickly rise. You happened to meet the Crown Princess coming to pay respects, and the Heir Apparent’s Wife also came to pay respects, so join us to have some morning tea.”
Lin Tingting was naturally flattered and overjoyed, “Thank you, Empress.”
During the meal, the Empress glanced at Jiang Ruanxi, who was silently eating, and feigned casualness as she said, “When the Crown Princess first arrived in the Capital, she was mistaken by your family’s Elder Sister-in-law for resembling your late Second Sister-in-law. This Palace is somewhat curious. Does she really resemble her?”
Lin Tingting gently set down her chopsticks and glanced at the calm Jiang Ruanxi who was eating, “There is some resemblance, but my Second Sister-in-law had a lowly Identity and status. How could she be compared to the Crown Princess? I’m afraid it was my family’s Elder Sister-in-law who saw wrong.”
The Empress smiled and looked at Jiang Ruanxi again, “The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince have been married for some time now, right?”
Jiang Ruanxi set down her chopsticks, “Replying to Mother Empress, over two months.”
The Empress sighed, “When the Heir Apparent’s Wife married the Heir Apparent back then, it was only about a month before she became Pregnant. The Crown Princess has been married this long with no Movement. You must work harder to let this Palace hold a Grandson soon.”
The Empress simply wanted to disgust Jiang Ruanxi a little.
Jiang Ruanxi knew very well that back in Lingnan, her Identity with the Crown Prince was special, so every time they did it, Wei Chang always did it outside.
So at that time, she had no chance of becoming Pregnant at all.
Now back in the Capital, though there had been a few passionate times after marriage.
But at that time, Emperor Qin and the Empress were gravely ill, so it wasn’t the time to become Pregnant.
Now His Majesty had even rewarded several Concubines to the Eastern Palace, and Wei Chang was not in his Room every day.
In outsiders’ eyes, Jiang Ruanxi had almost no chance of becoming Pregnant at this time, or even impossible.
So the Empress saying this was clearly making things difficult for her.
Lin Tingting naturally understood and couldn’t help but smile, “The Crown Princess and Crown Prince have been married not long. Now His Majesty has rewarded a Concubine over. It shouldn’t take long for the Empress to get her wish.”
It’s just uncertain whose belly this Child would be in.
Jiang Ruanxi lowered her eyes, while the Empress became even more smug, “That’s true. Speaking of which, Concubine Li is still the Heir Apparent’s Wife’s younger sister. In that case, we are all family. Crown Princess, when you have time in the future, you must ask the Heir Apparent’s Wife for some secret recipes. Don’t disappoint this Palace.”
Lin Tingting looked smugly at Jiang Ruanxi, her eyes full of provocation.
Jiang Ruanxi saw it in her eyes but did not react, “Mother Empress is right. Your daughter-in-law will definitely ask the Heir Apparent’s Wife properly.”
Seeing her so meek, the Empress’s mood improved a bit.
She originally wanted to make things difficult for her a bit more, but now was not the right time.
As long as Concubine Li became Pregnant, this Crown Princess would be done for.
“In that case, I will visit the Crown Princess’s residence this afternoon. How about it?”
Since she liked courting death so much, Jiang Ruanxi naturally wouldn’t stop her. She remained expressionless, “Alright.”
Seeing her so diligent, the Empress appeared very pleased on the surface and dismissed the two after the meal.
After they left, the Empress’s face immediately turned cold.
“Come out.”
With her cold command, a man in black clothing wearing only one eye visible appeared before her.
The Empress said with a face full of frost, “That Bitch is still alive, now in the Yu Family in Lingnan. Go kill them all for me. She actually dared to deceive this Palace for so many years.”
“Yes.”
After the black-clad man spoke, he immediately disappeared.
The Empress drank a sip of the now-cold Tea.
Her hand tightly gripped the Teacup.
She hadn’t expected that after so many years, that Bitch was still alive.
Back then, taking advantage of entering the Imperial Palace, she swapped their Phoenix Fates and killed her once and for all.
But unexpectedly she didn’t die. If she really didn’t die, she would be the greatest Threat to her.
So she must die.
Since the Yu Family wanted to protect her, they could all die together.
**
Jiang Ruanxi and Lin Tingting left the Imperial Palace together. Lin Tingting smugly boarded the Carriage.
Before leaving, she didn’t forget to remind, “Crown Princess, see you this afternoon.”
Jiang Ruanxi nodded. Yushui saw her smugness and felt quite indignant, “Crown Princess, she’s just an unworthy Thing. Give her an inch and she takes a mile.”
“Since she wants to come, let her come.” Jiang Ruanxi’s eyes flashed, “Have someone check on how the Heir Apparent’s Wife gave birth to the Child.”
