Chapter 744: Peace and Harmony on Yunxiang Mountain
Chapter 744: Peace and Harmony on Yunxiang Mountain
Jiang Fang's words hit Xiao Jingyi's sore spot.
Xiao Jingyi did not forget that when he told Jiang Fang and Tong Lian yesterday that he wanted to do these things, they both expressed their disapproval at first.
But ever since he saw Leng Rongyue in Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, the image of Leng Rongyue's fairy-like figure has been lingering in his mind and in his heart...
There was an idea that kept lingering in his mind, which was: he wanted to get Leng Rongyue, he wanted to take Leng Rongyue away from him!
I don’t want to wait any longer!
Especially when he thought about the fact that Xiao Jingyi wanted to run to the Anguo Mansion every day and go to Yunxiang Mountain with the Anguo family to pray for Fu Baozhen, he couldn't bear it even more.
Every time they meet, every extra moment they spend together is a torture for themselves!
So I decided what to do last night.
But when Jiang Fang said this at this time, it was obvious that he was blaming himself...
I am the master, the prince, and no matter whether what I do is right or wrong... no one is allowed to interfere.
"What does Mr. Jiang mean by this?
You mean to say that the king should not have acted on his own yesterday;
We shouldn’t have insisted on sending people to Yunxiang Mountain;
He should not have intended to destroy the Anguogong Mansion;
I shouldn't have any ideas about Leng Rongyue, is that right?"
Xiao Jingyi asked word by word, staring at Jiang Fang with dark eyes. When Jiang Fang saw it, his heart trembled.
In fact, Jiang Fang really wanted to say: Isn’t that the case?
What we are planning is no joke, it is a big deal!
We should have followed the procedures and made steady progress step by step;
But... it just happened that you fell in love with Leng Rongyue's beauty at first sight, and regardless of the fact that she was your cousin's fiancée, you were determined to take her for yourself!
The cold and melting moon is beautiful.
But, is she someone you can get your hands on in her current state?
But you chose to send people to kill the Anguogong family at this time;
It was you who was so eager to kidnap Leng Rongyue, hide her in a golden house, and steal your brother's wife!
Now it's good -
Everyone in the Anguo Mansion was still alive and well;
The cold young lady was not captured either;
My ambitions and actions might be completely exposed... No, they are definitely exposed!
You didn't accomplish either of the two things, and instead exposed yourself and got yourself into trouble. Isn't this the consequence of your lust for beauty and your determination to do it?
Although Jiang Fang thought so in his heart, he dared not say the truth out loud!
Moreover, Jiang Fang also noticed that there was something wrong with Xiao Jingyi's eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of murderous intent in them...
Jiang Fang thought of the little maid who was dragged out and beaten to death not long ago, and quickly denied it, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood!"
I definitely don't mean that!
What I mean is that when we planned to wipe out the Duke Anguo's Mansion and kidnap Miss Leng, our plan was not thorough enough and we indeed underestimated the enemy!
That’s why we are in today’s predicament.
This also reminds us...
You must be extremely cautious in your future actions!
But that’s all in the past.
The most important thing at the moment is to make sure the prince avoids getting involved in this muddy water!
Fortunately, the prince was in the capital yesterday, and everyone in the court knew about it;
Today, the prince went to the palace to pay his respects early in the morning again.
If the incident at Yunxiang Mountain really implicates the prince, the prince can just push it off!
As long as he doesn't admit it, no one can do anything to the prince.
In the end, it's nothing more than suspicion, and there's nothing we can do about it.
However, for quite some time to come, we in Prince Yi’s Palace must keep a low profile and be cautious! "
"Well, that does make sense!"
Xiao Jingyi nodded in agreement, his expression gradually easing.
"Today, everyone in the Anguo Mansion will finish their three-day chanting and praying and return to the capital.
My good cousin, our Prince Yu, has even gone to Yunxiang Mountain to pick us up in person without any hesitation!
Pick up your fiancée!
Pick up my fiancée's family!"
Xiao Jingyi said this while gritting his teeth.
"Let's see what he and the Anguo family say and do after they return to the capital!
Especially tomorrow morning, I am afraid... there will be a storm during the morning court session, right?"
As Xiao Jingyi spoke, he closed his eyes and leaned back softly on the chair.
“In another hour, my good cousin will set out to pick someone up!
Buddhist affairs on Yunxiang Mountain... Buddhist affairs..."
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian were still waiting to hear what Xiao Jingyi would say next, but... there was silence.
Xiao Jingyi just closed his eyes and mouth and didn't move. If you didn't know, you would think he had fallen asleep!
Jiang Fang looked at Tong Lian, and Tong Lian looked at Jiang Fang. They both shook their heads slightly and tiptoed back to the hall.
Standing in the yard, Jiang Fang turned his head to look in the direction of Yunxiang Mountain and suddenly smiled bitterly.
Tong Lian looked at him with questioning eyes.
Jiang Fang shook her head and spoke weakly, "Yunxiang Mountain!
What exactly happened in Yunxiang Mountain?
I don’t know...when we can know the truth.
However, I guess at this time on Yunxiang Mountain, there should be the sound of bells and drums, the sound of wooden fish, and the air filled with sandalwood. What a peaceful scene!
But...but...where did those dozens of us go?"
Tong Lian also wanted to ask the same question, but at this moment, who would give them the answer?
However, at this time on Yunxiang Mountain, it was really just as Jiang Fang had imagined, with bells and drums ringing, wooden fish making sounds, sandalwood filling the air, and an atmosphere of peace!
