Chapter 245: I Have Something Important To Tell You
He cannot leave this scourge by your side.
Jiang Ruanxi thought of Lin Ningkun’s crazy appearance, and she felt afraid in her heart.
“Everything will be as you say.” Jiang Ruanxi hugged his waist.
Jiang Ruanxi remembered something, thought about it, and still told him about Sun Tina.
Wei Chang didn’t expect there to be such a thing, and he immediately became furious, “This bitch actually dares to harm you, I’ll go kill her.”
The person he held in the palm of his hand, these people came one by one to harm her.
Wei Chang was so angry that he stood up directly.
Jiang Ruanxi pulled him back, “I’m fine now, don’t beat the grass and startle the snake, let’s see what they really want to do. We’ll just be more careful from now on.”
Jiang Ruanxi also repeated to Wei Chang what she had said to Yushui.
Wei Chang’s anger subsided a lot, and he sat down, holding her hand with a face full of heartache.
“But I can’t bear to put you in danger.”
Jiang Ruanxi knew he was distressed for her, and her heart felt sweet. She gripped his hand back, “Don’t worry, I’m not a child. After going through so much, I will protect myself.”
Knowing what they were facing, Wei Chang didn’t say anything.
He could only make some preparations in secret and speed up some plans.

“Master, there is news from Lingnan?”
A man wearing black clothing respectfully handed a piece of paper to Jiang Kui.
Jiang Kui took the paper and unfolded it.
After seeing the information on it, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
“I didn’t expect her to really be Jiang Ruanxi, she’s been pretending quite deeply.”
Thinking of how he had been toyed with by Jiang Ruanxi during this time, Jiang Kui crumpled the paper forcefully.
“Bring all those who know the truth to the Capital for me. I want to see how she can escape the crime of deceiving the emperor by impersonating the Ling Family daughter to marry the Crown Prince and deceiving His Majesty.”
“Yes.”
The black-clothed man thought of another thing he had investigated and hesitated, unsure whether to say it.
“Speak.” Jiang Kui noticed his change and scolded directly.
The black-clothed man didn’t dare to conceal it anymore.
“While investigating Jiang Ruanxi’s matters, we also found out in Lingnan that Madam Yu of the Yu Family is actually the Empress’s own younger sister.”
Hearing this, Jiang Kui burst out laughing.
“I didn’t expect such a big harvest. It seems things are more interesting than imagined.”
“Master, what should we do next?” The black-clothed man asked for instructions.
“Do nothing, just wait for the Empress to make her move, and we’ll watch the play quietly.”
He knew a thing or two about what happened back then. He didn’t expect the woman he thought had died to have come full circle and had always been lurking at her maternal home.
If the Empress knew, Jiang Kui was a bit eager to see what expression she would have.
Suddenly, the voice of a guard reporting from outside the door came, “Imperial Advisor, Young Master Jin requests an audience.”
Jiang Kui’s good mood instantly soured at these words, his face darkening.
Thinking of what he had done, disdain unconsciously showed in his eyes, and he said without hesitation, “Do not see him.”
“But he says he has important matters to discuss with you.”
Jiang Kui paused for a few seconds and said, “Let him in.”
He then turned to the man on the side, “You go down first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already disappeared from sight.
Soon, Lin Ningkun came in.
Jiang Kui just coldly toyed with a piece of jade ware, not even glancing at him properly.
Lin Ningkun knew that Jiang Kui was no longer like before toward him, and he stood constrained by his side.
“Im-Imperial Advisor.”
“Mm.” Jiang Kui didn’t even lift his head.
Lin Ningkun felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Thinking of being abandoned soon, he had been a bit hesitant on the way here, but now that was long forgotten.
“I have important matters to discuss with you.”
Jiang Kui stopped toying with it and finally raised his eyes to look at him.
“Speak.”
Lin Ningkun took a deep breath and said, “The Crown Princess is my former madam, Jiang Ruanxi.”
After speaking, he looked at him expectantly.
But Jiang Kui seemed to have known long ago, showing no expression on his face, just faintly humming.
His reaction left Lin Ningkun dumbfounded.
He knew Jiang Ruanxi had a bad relationship with the Jiang Family, and the Jiang Family had always been using Jiang Ruanxi. Plus, during the time Jiang Ruanxi returned to the Capital, many things she did were unfavorable to the Jiang Family.
After Jiang Kui knew, shouldn’t he fly into a rage and then value him again for providing this information?
“Are you done? Then go down.” Jiang Kui said faintly.
Lin Ningkun couldn’t figure it out and had no reason to stay.
He could only retreat.
But what he didn’t know was that as he turned, Jiang Kui looked at his back with murderous intent.
From Lin Ningkun’s reaction just now, he should have known long ago that the Crown Princess was Jiang Ruanxi, but he dared to only say it now.
An disloyal dog had no need to be kept!

Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.
“Empress, we haven’t found out about the Crown Princess yet, but that bitch is really still alive.”
The Empress’s face darkened, and she slammed her hand heavily on the chair. Her hand immediately turned red, but she felt no pain.
“I didn’t expect her to live under the nose of my maternal home for so long. Father and brother concealed it from me for her sake. They are truly conscienceless things. I’ve treated them so well in vain.” The Empress said viciously.
Liu Ye was a bit uneasy, “Empress, the Crown Prince often goes to Lingnan. Do you think he knows that bitch is his mother?”
The Empress’s expression changed drastically.
She thought that since Wei Chang went to Lingnan some time ago, he had changed greatly upon return.
She originally thought it was because of Jiang Ruanxi, but now it seemed not necessarily.
The Yu Family was her maternal home, and Wei Chang was her son. He would definitely go to the Yu Family when going to Lingnan.
That bitch must have seen him and said something to him.
Otherwise, Wei Chang wouldn’t have become like this.
Thinking that Wei Chang, whom she had raised, actually had second thoughts about her, murderous intent unconsciously showed in her eyes.
“If he knows, he cannot be kept either.”
Liu Ye fell silent, not daring to say anything.
“Go tell them to kill that bitch for me.” The Empress ordered angrily.
“If we kill her, what about the Crown Prince?” Liu Ye hesitated a bit.
“That rebellious son is full of defiance toward me now. Even if I don’t kill that bitch, do you think Wei Chang will still listen to me?”
Liu Ye thought of the Crown Prince’s actions during this time and felt the Empress was right, so she no longer hesitated. She went out, caught a carrier pigeon, and sent the order.

“Crown Princess, this is a prescription that this concubine obtained from an old physician through this concubine’s mother when this concubine was at the maternal home before. It is said to be very effective for knife wounds, so this concubine thought the Crown Princess could use it.”
When Sun Tina and Wan Qing came to pay respects, Sun Tina carefully handed a bowl of medicine to her.
Jiang Ruanxi glanced at it and said faintly, “Thoughtful of you, leave it there. This palace will drink it later.”
“Crown Princess, this medicine is better drunk while hot.”
Jiang Ruanxi raised her eyes and stared at her fixedly for a few seconds, “Mm, got it.”
She looked at Wan Qing, “Wan Zhaoxun, how many months along is your child?”
