Chapter 195 It’s Too Late to Regret

Back at Jiang's house, as soon as Yan Li stepped through the door, he saw Luo Shi waiting in Liuli Courtyard.

"Are you being punished by the Queen?" Luo Shi came limping over with scratches on his face. He seemed concerned, but there was a sense of watching a show in his eyes, "Yan Li, even if you have the emperor's bias, You shouldn’t be arrogant, even if you don’t care about the princess! Do you know that the princess is the emperor’s own blood, and you were only born as a result of your mother doing something that dishonored the family tradition?”

"The Emperor ordered that the Queen's treasures be taken back, and Concubine Gu temporarily took over the power of the harem." Yan Li looked at her calmly, with a faint luster on her eyebrows, "Because the Queen has no way to teach her daughter, and allows her daughter to speak evil words and humiliate the royal family, so The emperor ordered the mother and daughter to confine themselves to self-reflection."

Luo Shi's voice stopped and he looked at Yan Li blankly: "You, what did you say?"

"Just before I left the palace, the emperor just issued an imperial edict." Yan Li stared at her for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips coldly, "I disappointed my aunt."

Leaving these words behind, she ignored Luo Shi's pale and white complexion and walked away from her.

Luo Shi stood as stiff as a wooden sculpture, with waves of uneasiness flashing in his eyes.

Was the queen's treasure taken back?

This...isn't this equivalent to abolishing the queen?

How is it possible?

This news must not be true, Yan Li is lying!

Luo Shi felt uneasy.

After an unknown amount of time, she hurriedly summoned her personal maid and asked her to inquire about the news: "Go and ask quickly. I want to know whether the news about the emperor's deposed empress is true or false."

Although she tried her best to deny it, she vaguely guessed that what Yan Li said was probably true.

No one dares to joke about such a thing, not to mention that Yan Li came back so quickly... This is enough to prove that she was not punished in the palace.

Even such a rebellious behavior as slapping the legitimate princess was not punished. Luo Shi had to believe that Yan Li was indeed very capable.

Sensing that something bad was going to happen, Luo Shi turned around in a hurry and quickly told her husband about the incident.

Jiang Yunming's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he had the same expression as if the sky was falling: "The Queen has been deposed?"

"Yan Li said so, saying that he was temporarily taking back the treasures." Luo Shi's face turned pale and he twisted his handkerchief uneasily, "Master, I... what should we do? The queen has been deposed. Will the prince never return again? Is it possible for Jingyue to..."

"I'm going to see my father."

Jiang Yunming couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly walked out of the yard and went straight to his father's study.

Arriving at the study, Jiang Yunming spoke directly without further elaboration: "Father, the princess angered the emperor today and implicated the queen in being deposed. Now the power of controlling the harem has fallen into the hands of Concubine Gu. What should we do?"

Taifu Jiang sat behind the desk and had no reaction after hearing this.

"Father?"

"What's the use of telling me?" Taifu Jiang's voice was dull, "Can I influence the emperor's decision-making?"

Jiang Yunming looked anxious: "What about Jingyue?"

Taifu Jiang said: "This marriage was given by the emperor and it is what you want. Now you regret it?"

"It's not that I regret it." A look of embarrassment appeared on Jiang Yunming's face, "It's just that if the queen and her son really lose power, what should we do?"

Grand Tutor Jiang raised his hand to rub his brows, and sat blankly for a while before he spoke seriously: "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and partisanship always carries risks. If you want to be prosperous and wealthy, and to be a powerful minister, you must be prepared for failure." . No one can guarantee that the prince will ascend to the throne in the future, and no one can guarantee that the Jiang family will remain in favor for a hundred years. "

When Jiang Yunming heard this, his expression changed.

That being said, if they saw the Queen and her son losing power, would they really do nothing?

"After Yan Li was named Princess of Nanyang, I remember I reminded you more than once to be polite to her, stay away from her if you can't be friendly, and don't always come forward to find trouble. Have you done this?" Jiang Taifu said coldly. Looking at him, his eyes were full of disappointment, "None of the descendants of the Jiang family are successful, so their decline will be a matter of time!"

Jiang Yunming's expression turned pale, and he was filled with fear.

At this moment, instead of resenting Yan Li, perhaps it was the threat brought about by the rise and fall of the family that finally made him feel a little regretful.

He never expected that Yan Li would lead to such a result. Even the queen and the princess could not take any advantage in front of her.

If they had known all this earlier, even if Jingyue did not become the crown prince, they would never have let the prince break off the engagement, and the best solution would have been to offer Yan Li up.

But it's too late to say anything now.
