Chapter 1774: A Mysterious Note
Translator: Lonelytree
Ever since she accused the eldest grandprince in court, the Crown Princess had been feeling uneasy.
Although the eldest grandprince was grounded, His Majesty did not seem to have any punishment for him. Moreover, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, who were framed, did not seem to care too much about it.
This was what made her the most flustered.
Originally, her motive was to please Lin Yuelan so that she could get closer to her.
But now, Lin Yuelan didn’t seem to have any reaction, and the Ye Family seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her sudden accusation of the Imperial grandprince manor.
Especially since Ye Jing had always treated her as her own sister. However, she never thought that her own sister would stab her in the back. Therefore, the
Grandprince Consort came and scolded her loudly, causing a huge ruckus.
All these factors, added together, made her seem anxious.
However, since things had come to this, she could not do anything and could only wait quietly.
Because she knew that if she was not careful, she could be consigned to eternal damnation and fall into a bottomless abyss.
When the Crown Prince returned to the Crown Prince’s residence, he heard that the Crown Princess Consort had no appetite. He frowned slightly and asked,” What happened?”
The servant reported,” Replying to Your Highness, the Imperial grand prince Consort came to the residence in the morning and quarrelled with the Crown
Princess Consort before leaving.”
When the Crown Prince heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper. Then, he said,” I will go take a look at the Crown Princess Consort.”
The Crown Princess Consort sat on a couch in the room. Her expression was lost, and her eyes were dull. She looked very listless.
She didn’t even notice when the Crown Prince walked up to her.
The Crown Prince called out a few times with a worried expression, but the Crown Princess Consort did not respond.
Then, he continued to call out,” Crown Princess Consort…
When he called out for the fourth time, the crown prince consort finally reacted. Her expression changed, and she looked nervous and flustered. She hurriedly jumped up from the couch and bowed to the crown prince.” Your Highness, please forgive me!”
The crown prince helped her up and said in a gentle voice,” Crown Princess Consort, what crime have you committed? Get up.”
Then, he helped her up and sat her down on the couch. He asked worriedly,”
What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?”
As he spoke, the crown prince touched her forehead and said, “Your forehead is a little hot.”
Immediately, he shouted,” Men, go and invite Imperial Physician Wang!’
Ye Yao looked at such a gentle and considerate Crown Prince, her heart was filled with greed, her eyes were full of affection.
It had been a long time since the Crown Prince cared about her so much.
At this moment, the Crown Princess Consort hoped that time would stop so that the Crown Prince would only have eyes for her and not for the matters of the country and the people.
However, she knew that as the Crown Prince, this was simply impossible.
Moreover, they had been married for several years, but she had not even given birth to a boy or a girl for the Crown Prince.
Therefore, she knew that the Crown Prince would belong to another woman sooner or later.
However, she would never allow it.
Crown Princess Consort.” The Crown Prince looked at the Crown Princess Consort, who was not in her best condition and became even more worried.’ Are you alright?”
The Crown Princess Consort shook her head.” Your Highness, I’m fine!”
A moment later, Imperial Physician Wang came over. After taking the Crown Princess ‘pulse, he reported, “Your Highness, the Crown Princess has caught a cold. Wait for me to prescribe a few medicines for the Empress to drink. And Crown Princess Consort, you have to lie in bed and rest well for a few days.”
After Imperial Physician Wang left, the Crown Prince instructed the servants to take good care of the Crown Princess Consort before going to study to work.
The Crown Princess looked at the Crown Prince’s departing figure and gripped the corner of the blanket tightly with both hands. Her eyes shone with even more determination.
Even if she had to die a horrible death, she would never allow the Crown Prince to marry another woman to be his wife. She wanted to drag Yuwen Yanyu with her to hell.
Thinking of this, she thought of someone’s instructions. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes to sleep.
All sorts of schemes and plots did not stop Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan from getting married.
In the palace, the Ministry of Rites was making preparations for the marriage of the princess and the general.
In the Defender General’s manor, whether it was the master or the servants, everyone was jubilant. They did not lose face because the general was being married to the princess of Guguo.
They knew that the general and his future wife loved each other deeply. As for why they had to get married in such a way, there must be a reason.
As for the reason for this, it was not something that servants like them could ask.
The steward sorted out all the properties of the Defender General’s manor, including the farmlands and shops. Then, he wrapped the contracts with a piece of red cloth as a dowry and placed them in a carrying box. He was prepared to carry them to the princess’s manor when the general got married.
The butler’s mood was really complicated.
Although he was very happy that the Great General could still get married at such an old age, when he thought about how the Great General was going to be a live-in husband, his feelings were extremely complicated.
However, this was something that the general and the princess had agreed on. A servant had no right to ask.
Therefore, he would do whatever his master arranged.
Just as the butler was lost in his thoughts, Jiang Zhennan stepped into the house and looked at the butler with a complicated expression. He then looked at the things in his hands and asked in confusion,” Butler, what’s wrong with
When the butler saw the general come in, he put away his expression and immediately put on a happy look. He held the things in his hand and asked with a smile,” General, these are all the properties of the General’s Estate.
Take a look and see if there’s anything missing.”
Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said,” Butler, I’m not worried about your handiwork.’
The butler was very happy to hear the general’s words. He carefully placed these things in the dowry box. He looked at Jiang Zhennan as if he had something to say, but he did not know how to say it.
Jiang Zhennan said,” Butler, if you have something to say, just say it!’
The butler couldn’t help but ask,” General, why did you marry Princess Gu as a live-in husband? I heard from Young Master Guo that it’s because you proposed too late and made the princess unhappy. That’s why the princess wants you to marry her in this manner, right?”
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, he shook his head and said,” Butler, that’s not the case.’
Then, he recounted how the Emperor told the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor about their birth characters.
When the butler heard this. he seemed very surprised. He said.” So that’s how The husband was the wife, and the wife was the husband. It was to make their intertwined fates more smooth.
Although Lin Yuelan didn’t believe in such superstitions about fate, she chose to get married in such a way as to make the elders feel at ease. Therefore, she could only let Jiang Zhennan suffer.
After hearing this reason, the butler was completely relieved and seemed even happier.
He said,” Great General, just wait for your wedding. This old servant will definitely take care of everything inside and outside the General Estate! ” Jiang Zhennan was speechless.
Wasn’t this a little wrong? The butler’s attitude changed too quickly.
Jiang Zhennan smiled and said,” Alright!’
At this moment, someone came over and reported,” Great General, a child outside passed a piece of paper over. He asked me to give it to you!’ As he spoke, he handed the note to Jiang Zhennan.
Jiang Zhennan took the note and opened it. His expression changed drastically.
He asked,” Where’s the child?”
The subordinate replied,” He has already left!”
Jiang Zhennan asked anxiously,” Did you see who gave the child the note?”
The subordinate shook the soil and said,” Reporting to the Great General, no!” Jiang Zhennan waved his hand and said,” Then you can leave!”
After they left, the butler asked with concern,” General, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with this note?”
Jiang Zhennan didn’t answer and said directly,” Butler, I’m going to the Princess’s residence now. I’ll leave the General’s residence to you.” After saying this, he sternly ordered,” When I’m not in the residence, deny entry to anyone who doesn’t know me.’
When the butler heard this, he nodded very seriously and said,” Yes, Great General!”
Jiang Zhennan quickly left the General’s Mansion and went to the Princess’s Mansion.
When they arrived at the princess’s residence, Jiang Zhennan asked,” Where’s the princess?”
The servant replied,” In the back garden!”
After Jiang Zhennan heard that, he immediately rushed to the back garden and saw Lin Yuelan sitting under the awning, drinking tea.
Jiang Zhennan walked up to Lin Yuelan and said anxiously,” Yue ‘er.”
Lin Yuelan saw Jiang Zhennan’s anxious look and asked in confusion,” What’s wrong?”
Jiang Zhennan didn’t say anything and just passed the note in his hand to her.
Lin Yuelan opened it and looked at it. Her expression immediately turned serious..
