"I am a woman in the palace, what can I say?"

Princess Linglong stepped forward and said, "Madam, please don't be humble. We have made inquiries outside this afternoon. In the Wuning Army Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Madam's words are still useful."

"Sometimes, Lord Jiedushi's words are even more effective."

Madam Murong was startled, and her face turned a little unhappy.

Ji Xiang smiled calmly, "It is said that women are weak and can only stay at home to care for their husbands and raise children. But who knows, in fact, many women are also talented and academic. As long as they are given a stage, they may not be inferior to men."

"The princess' temperament is not like ordinary people. She is a daring woman, so she naturally likes an equally excellent wife."

"Yes, yes, that's what this princess means." Linglong said quickly.

"Actually, my cousin is the same person as Madam." Jiang Peipei added on the side.

"Your cousin?!"

"That's me." Ji Xiang smiled, "Actually, I am the niece of the Jiang family, but I am also Princess Ning."

Madam Murong was surprised, "Are you Princess Ning? The woman from the Jiang family in Suzhou who was originally promised to the prince?"

Ji Xiang nodded.

"My cousin is not what people say. She didn't run away with Prince Ning. Instead, she was killed and fell into the sea and was rescued by Prince Ning."

Madam Murong was even more surprised. She looked at Ji Xiang's belly in confusion.

"This child also belongs to Prince Ning?"

Ji Xiang nodded, "We were all drugged that night, and we didn't know the whole story until three months later."

"So you just endured the infamy for three months?" Mrs. Murong asked in surprise.

"This grievance is nothing. The important thing is that although the matter has been concluded, it is said that the prince is here for my Ji family's property, but in fact, there is someone else behind it."

Madam Murong didn't expect Jixiang to tell her such a secret, so she wisely asked, "Who is the mastermind?"

"King Duan."

"Prince Duan?!" Mrs. Murong didn't believe it. "Prince Duan was very low-key when he was in Fengyu County. How could he attack you?"

Since Linglong separated from Jixiang and Jiang Peipei, she knew very little about the matter. When she heard Jixiang said it was related to King Duan, she immediately stepped forward.

"Why is there his shadow everywhere?"

"Since he has been planning to dominate our Great Holy Dynasty for a long time, he has naturally planned too many things."

"Princess, please tell me, what is going on? It is a certainty that King Duan is plotting to conquer the country, but why did he frame you?!"

Ji Xiang asked Duan Wang and Kou Peilin to use the name of the crown prince. On the one hand, the prince was charged with murdering the crown princess, so that the Ji family completely fell out with the prince and no longer became the financial guarantee for his rise to power. On the other hand, he could simultaneously Emperor Kang's most capable son, King Ning, was eliminated.

It's just that by some mistake, Prince Ning did not die, and she also survived.

After hearing Ji Xiang's words, Mrs. Murong was silent for a while.

"I heard that the Emperor has arrived in Jinling?" Madam Murong asked again.

"Previously, after the emperor received the news that there was a fire in Prince Duan's Mansion and that Prince Duan's life and death were uncertain, he went to Fengyu County incognito to find out the cause of the fire in Prince Duan's Mansion. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived there, he received news about Prince Duan proclaiming himself emperor in the capital. "

"Immediately afterwards, Emperor Li Kang's followers, Jiyue Villa, launched an attack on us..."

Madam Murong was stunned, "How long has this been happening? How come we don't know about it?!"

"They deliberately blocked the news because they didn't want you to know about it. However, Lord Jiedu must have received the edict about Prince Duan proclaiming himself emperor."

Madam Murong nodded, "An imperial edict came from the capital a while ago. However, the edict stated that the late emperor was unable to preside over the government due to illness... Where is the emperor now?"

"Jinling City." Ji Xiang told Madam Murong directly without any concealment.

Madam Murong was surprised again, "Isn't Jinling the territory of Zhendong Army?"

"Cao Yu, the commander-in-chief of Zhendong Army, is currently locked up in the dungeon of Jinling Governor's Mansion."

"He is the second wave of people to attack the emperor after the Jiyue Villa gang members were wiped out. Therefore, he has been punished as he deserves."

Madam Murong lowered her head and meditated. Soon, she stood up and said, "You guys have a rest first. I'll go find Master Jiedu."

"Madam, do you want to advise your Excellency on how to choose?" Jixiang stood up immediately.

Madam Murong thought for a while, "I can't give you an answer to this matter right now. I'll wait until I discuss it with the adults. I'll send someone to take you back to the courtyard right now."

As he spoke, he greeted a maid next to him and gave instructions.

"Madam, we come to see Master Jiedu. It was the instructions given by King Annan."

"King Annan?!"

"Yes, although our Prince Annan's palace has been put under surveillance, my father still asked me to find a way to leave the capital to help Ji Xiang and Prince Ning."

"Master Murong's name is the first on the list my father gave me."

"Because most of the men in the family went with Marquis Zhenyuan to support the emperor, so it was left to us to do this."

"You, you are women..." Madam Murong walked out, "I know what to do, send the princess and princess to Linglong Courtyard." She said and left in a hurry.

After Madam Murong left, the maid took Ji Xiang and the other three to Linglong Courtyard.

Jiang Peipei was worried.

"Cousin, should we pack up and leave immediately? What if they want to claim credit from King Duan..."

Princess Linglong said, "Murong Yan is my father's most trusted subordinate. He shouldn't use us to please Prince Duan, right?"

"Prince Duan is still the emperor's most trusted younger brother!" Jiang Peipei said.

"Then what should we do? If we leave so late, we will definitely alarm the mansion."

The two of them looked at Ji Xiang in unison as they spoke.

Ji Xiang sat down slowly, "Mrs. Murong is not an ordinary woman. We are waiting for news about her."
