Chapter 300: A Nest of Snakes and Rats
Jiang knew that her temper had been a little irritable lately, but she couldn't care about it so much.
Seeing that the time for Zhao Ling to come back was getting closer and closer, and she still had a lot of problems to deal with, she knew very well that she had to go all out to get to this point, otherwise, the fate waiting for her would definitely be tragic.
Therefore, even if she knew that some rumors had begun to spread in the Yonghe Palace that were unfavorable to her, she didn't have much energy to deal with them; Now for her, she still doesn't pay attention to this bit of turmoil at all, and when the plan is successful, her son sits on the throne of the Son of Heaven, and those who dare to chew their tongues behind their backs, she will take a good time to meet them.
Today, Jiang sat in Yonghe Palace as usual and waited for the family to come, but what she didn't expect was that it was good for her brother to come in person, but he actually brought another person to appear.
Jiang, who had finally calmed down, instantly turned into a lit cannonball, rushed down from the phoenix chair, pointed to his eldest brother's nose and said, "Big brother, when it's time like this, you are still hanging on to your son, don't you know that if our plan is not successful, we will be doomed?" ”
The current head of the Jiang family is Jiang Wu, the eldest brother of the Jiang family, and this person can be regarded as a strange existence, he has no real big skills, but he is used to playing some small tricks.
It stands to reason that among the many sons and daughters of the Jiang family, there are also amazing talents, but why is this ordinary Jiang Wu sitting in the position of being a family member?
All this is naturally caused by Jiang Wu's own sister Jiang Qiang.
Jiang has always been a very attentive and very backbone, back then, she insisted on marrying the Showa Emperor who was not favored as his wife, and after becoming the royal daughter-in-law, she supported her husband to the throne of the Son of Heaven with her own strength, which shows that this woman's ability is definitely not to be underestimated.
And the reason why Jiang has such an ability is related to the environment in which she lived since she was a child.
As the daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang has been smart and assertive since she was a child, and she can help her biological mother take care of the family business at a young age; Later, she was arranged by her family to enter the private school at home, and invited the master to teach her by word and deed.
As she grew older, helping her mother to preside over the back house could no longer satisfy her desire to fly higher and higher, so she begged her father to be able to enter and leave the study freely; In the study, she saw another world, a world where men competed for power and played with the situation.
This made her already inflated ambition even more uncontrollable, and after tasting the pleasure and excitement brought by power, Jiang became even more eager to control everything; Gradually, she shifted her gaze from her parents to her siblings.
She knows very well that the reason why she can walk sideways in Jiang's mansion now is just relying on the support of her parents; If one day her father and mother are gone, or she is old and old, can she still talk to Jiang's house?
Therefore, she realized that she had to support a puppet in the Jiang family, so that even if she married in the future, all the resources of the Jiang family would still be tightly held in her hands.
After carefully sifting through it, the Jiang family set their sights on his eldest brother Jiang Wu.
Although Jiang Wu is the eldest son of the Jiang family, his qualifications are very mediocre, and even a few brothers are more capable than Jiang Wu, but what if he is stupid? For Jiang, the puppet she needs can't be too smart, the key is to be obedient.
Therefore, the Jiang family used a series of means to open up a way for Jiang Wu, and helped him to sit in the position of the next generation of the Jiang family all the way; And this Jiang Wu is indeed an obedient puppet as estimated by the Jiang family, the Jiang family seems to be in Jiang Wu's hands over the years, but in fact, the Jiang family knows very well that the Jiang family's every move has never escaped from the palm of her hand.
It's just that Jiang Wu, who has always regarded her words as a holy decree, actually brought an irrelevant person today, how can Jiang not get angry?
That's why there was this scene in front of him, Jiang mercilessly pointed at Jiang Wu's nose and scolded, but Jiang Wu was submissive, opening his mouth but not saying a word.
After Jiang Shi yelled at Jiang Wu, he felt a little better in his heart, looked at Jiang Wu with cold eyes, and continued: "Big brother, don't let this palace see you doing some irrelevant things without authorization in the future, otherwise, it won't be solved with a scolding." ”
It stands to reason that Jiang Wu is a dignified man, he should not be pressed like this by a woman, especially since this woman is still an old woman with a hateful face.
But the reality is that Jiang Wu really doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Jiang's family, and many times, he doesn't even dare to gasp a few times, for fear of annoying his most capable sister and causing trouble to himself.
And the person wrapped in the cloak was silent from the beginning, silently watching Jiang roaring, watching Jiang Wu being scolded, and in the end, silently watching Jiang screaming a warning.
For a while, there were really a hundred tastes in my heart, the corners of my bloody mouth were hooked to one side, and a low and hoarse voice slowly came out from under the cloak: "Queen Mother, I haven't seen you for twenty years, I didn't expect your temper to grow a lot." ”
Jiang Shi was about to make a sound and knock Jiang Wu again, when he suddenly heard this rather familiar voice, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and his suspicious eyes seemed to be slowed down, slowly focusing on the black-robed man's body.
Jiang Wu saw that Jiang was finally interested in the person he brought, so he hurriedly came up and begged for performance: "Niangniang, this person has an extraordinary background, he claims to be an old acquaintance with Niangniang, and also said that he is here to help Niangniang." ”
Jiang Shi looked at the person in front of him, pursed his lips harshly, and asked, "You, who are you?" ”
"I haven't seen her for twenty years, and the queen's temper has not only grown, but even her memory seems to be much worse; Mother, how can you forget the old man? Back then, if it weren't for the old man, I am afraid that your position as the queen would have been won by Yang Rui a long time ago. ”
As he spoke, the black hood was lifted from the inside, and then, the pale, strange young face appeared clearly in front of Jiang.
Jiang Shi exclaimed in fright by this face, covered his mouth and took a few steps back, as if he had seen the most frightening thing in his life, trembling his fingers, pointing at the man.
Yes, it was Zhuo Lang who appeared in front of Jiang at this moment.
Zhuo Lang looked at Jiang Shi, who was frightened by himself, and said with a smile: "It seems that the queen mother is thinking of the old husband, it's good, you don't need the old man to bother to introduce herself." ”
Jiang Wu didn't know what had happened to Jiang and Zhuo Lang, so when he saw Jiang showing such a frightened appearance, he hurriedly walked up and helped Jiang up, and at the same time scolded Zhuo Lang sharply: "Bastard, what did you do to the queen mother?" It scared her like this. ”
Zhuo Lang walked for too long, and felt that his legs hurt badly, so he limped to the side, sat on the comfortable wide-backed chair, looked at Jiang with a faint expression, and answered Jiang Wu's question: "Lord Jiang doesn't have to worry, the queen mother is not scared, but because she hasn't seen her old friend for too long, and she is excited." Mother, is what the old man said right? ”
Jiang felt that if Jiang Wu didn't support her at this moment, I am afraid that she would really faint to death in fear by Zhuo Lang who suddenly appeared.
No! It wasn't Zhuo Lang who really frightened her, but his face, which still hadn't changed in the slightest.
Oh, my God! He really is a monster, otherwise, after all these years, why is he still exactly the same as he was twenty years ago?
Facing Zhuo Lang's ill-intentioned smile, and then looking at Jiang Wu, who didn't know anything, Jiang slowly stabilized himself, stood up straight and said to Jiang Wu: "Big brother, you go to the side hall first and wait for a while, this palace has something to say to this person." ”
Jiang Wu is really more and more curious about what the relationship between Jiang and this mysterious man is, with his understanding of Jiang, she will not be frightened by anything; However, he saw with his own eyes that the man in front of him frightened Jiang's whole face white.
Moreover, it doesn't seem that this man is simple, at least, he is not afraid to tremble when he sees Jiang like ordinary people, but Jiang is afraid to die when he sees him.
Although Jiang Wu was extremely curious, he also knew that in front of Jiang, he had to play an obedient role, so that he could keep himself and hold the glory and wealth; Therefore, even if he wanted to know the secret between them too much, he couldn't disobey Jiang's order to stay.
After saying goodbye, Jiang Wu obediently married the side hall and left the hall to the two who needed to talk.
Zhuo Lang filled a cup of tea for himself, drank the fragrant tea, and looked at Jiang with satisfaction: "This is the puppet you chose for yourself?" Yes, an obedient dog. ”
Jiang couldn't hear what Zhuo Lang was saying at the moment, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of spit, she asked, "After so many years, where have you been?" Also, why did you appear in front of Hongu at this time? ”
Zhuo Lang laughed: "It's really worthy of being an old friend, and I know how to miss the old man and ask where the old man has been all these years; Actually, the old man came to Dawei some time ago, but you and I didn't have the fate to see each other at that time; Forget it, I won't mention that matter, as for you asking the old man why he came to you now, it's very simple, the old man came to help you. ”
"Humph! Would you be so kind? ”
The smile on Zhuo Lang's face became bigger and bigger: "It's really worthy of someone who understands the old man, yes, the old man is indeed not so kind, how about we work together again?" As before, work together to achieve a win-win situation; Didn't the two of us join forces before, in the matter of Concubine Yang, you got your husband and preserved the position of the master of the harem, and the old man also got Concubine Yang; In the end, you and I are all happy. ”
Hearing familiar people mention Concubine Yang, the breath that Jiang had kept in his heart all these years immediately exploded.
As if she had forgotten what she was afraid of, she rushed to Zhuo Lang and swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and with the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and being broken, Jiang's angry voice also came.
"Bastard, do you dare to mention Concubine Yang in front of this palace? Do you know that in that matter, this palace did not get anything at all, the husband did not get it, and the power did not get it; It was you who took advantage of the palace and killed Yang Rui's stupid woman. ”
