Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

In the late night, Xie Shang came back quietly. A faint candle was lit in the room. Just as he was walking towards the bathroom, Jiang Fenghua stuck his head out of the warm tent and said with a smile, "My Lord, you are back."

"It's so late, and you haven't slept yet."

"I fell asleep, woke up again, and now I can't sleep." She was wearing a snow-white tube top dress with a light gauze dress on the outside. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders and chest, like a fairy lost among the people.

She came to his side and said softly, "Let me help you, my lord!"

Her eyes were as bright as stars, her lips were tender and juicy, and her delicate and pretty appearance was intoxicating. He knew she wanted to know the result.

"I will do it myself. The ones who cannot bear the most right now are you and the baby." Xie Shang put his arms around her slender waist. It was still so thin. He would let her eat more next time, otherwise how could the baby have enough nutrition.

Jiang Fenghua took the initiative to find clean pajamas for him, with a flattering look on her face, "I'm not tired, and he's very well behaved." Now she didn't feel anything. She was tortured terribly when she was pregnant in her last life. It should be that she hasn't reached the stage of pregnancy reaction yet.

Xie Shang carried her to the bed and tapped her nose, "Just wait here for me obediently."

Only after Xie Shang entered the bathroom did she ask Hongxiu to prepare some food and bring it over.

Xie Shang came out of the bathroom and saw some easily digestible meals on the table. Jiang Fenghua set the table and ran to his side, saying attentively, "I don't want to lie in bed. My body is stiff. He and I are hungry. Your Majesty, please have supper with us!"

Xie Shang was also a little hungry, so he pulled her to sit at the table, "You want to ask about your eldest brother, right?"

Jiang Fenghua smiled sweetly and blinked his big eyes, "So why did Big Brother fight?"

Xie Shang knew that she was anxious and didn’t sleep. He didn’t want to tease her anymore and said in a deep voice, “He knows that the Li family is very powerful and that they can’t do anything to Li Cheng by just making a small move. It’s also impossible to make Li Cheng and the Zhang family break off the engagement. So in order to expose Li Cheng as a scumbag, he thought of the worst way…”

Jiang Fenghua heard this and said, "So Li Cheng really did abuse the girls in Yichun Building and was caught in public."

Xie Shang nodded, "I guess Jiang Jinyan beat Li Cheng in order to make the matter worse, and then reported it to the government. Unfortunately, the girl who was abused was just a prostitute, and Li Cheng was not guilty..."

Jiang Fenghua could only sigh that the world was like this, there was no such thing as fair or unfair. In the eyes of the world, women in brothels were available to anyone, and even if they were tortured to death in public, people would not say a fair word for her. They would only think that her death was a good one because she was the one who seduced and she was willing.

It was indeed not a good idea for the eldest brother to ask the girl in Yichun Building to do this. She was terrified when she heard it. "Then what?"

"Li Cheng had military merits and was once granted an official position. How could your elder brother, a mere official of the Ministry of Revenue, possibly defeat a soldier with a powerful backer? He was beaten badly."

Jiang Fenghua's pupils suddenly dilated and he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand, "How is he?" The eldest brother's martial arts skills were not weak, I'm afraid he let Li Cheng beat him on purpose.

Xie Shang smiled, "Anyway, he won't die. This matter has escalated from a case of a brothel girl being abused to a case of assault where the eldest son of Master Jiang's family risked his life to save others but was beaten by the eldest son of the Minister of War."

Jiang Jinyan was quite cunning and did not let this incident happen in Yichunlou. Instead, the brothel girl was taken out to an ordinary restaurant. Today happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival and there were many people in the restaurant and on the street.

Jiang Jinyan already holds an official position now. If this incident had happened in Yichunlou, I am afraid that the charge of him soliciting prostitution as an official would have been confirmed.

"Does the Zhang family know about it?" Xie Shang told her not to worry about Zhang Yumo's affairs and to let her eldest brother handle it. So she didn't know whether the Zhang family already knew about Li Cheng's character, or even knew about what happened tonight. Wouldn't her eldest brother have been beaten for nothing?

"It doesn't matter whether they know it or not. Since the engagement has been made and the engagement letter has been exchanged, Zhang Yumo is Li Cheng's fiancée and she must marry Li Cheng. After all, no matter how prestigious the Zhang Mansion is, its glory is in the past, and the Li family holds important positions and power. This matter is not easy to resolve." A new emperor appoints new ministers, this is the reality.

"Even if your eldest brother is willing to marry Zhang Yumo now, he will still be known as someone who stole someone else's fiancée, which is equally unpleasant."

Jiang Fenghua wondered, "Even if we consider Li Cheng's character, we still can't cancel the engagement?"

"Of course they can't, but if I come forward, this matter will be much easier." Xie Shang said.

Jiang Fenghua was completely convinced by Xie Shang. He was a prince, and even if Minister Li was present, he had to give the prince face.

Once it comes to political struggles and power struggles, everything becomes easy.

This is the charm of power.

At the Jiang residence, Zhang Yumo saw Jiang Jinyan was beaten black and blue, and her heart was more painful than his. She burst into tears and said, "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."

"It's okay, they are just visible skin injuries. No damage to the inside. I know my limits." Jiang Jinyan hurriedly comforted her. Fortunately, the Li family agreed to cancel the engagement.

"Why are you helping me?" He had already made it clear that he didn't like her, but now he was helping her get rid of Li Cheng behind her back. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't know Li Cheng's true face. A few days ago, Li Cheng went to Zhang's house every day, and no one knew that he had such a disgusting habit.

Jiang Jinyan said calmly: "Since I know Li Cheng's character, I will not sit idly by. But I didn't expect that the one who can help you in the end is Prince Heng." In fact, it is power.

He smiled and said, "If I had known that His Royal Highness Prince Heng could get the Li family to cancel the engagement, I should have gone to the prince earlier and avoided all this trouble."

Zhang Yumo shook her head, "It wasn't Prince Heng who saved me, it was you." She was very grateful and moved.

She thought a lot during this period, and understood Jiang Fenghua's words more clearly. She should live a good life for her family. Li Cheng saved her that day, and she felt that Li Cheng was a good person. She didn't hate Li Cheng at all, so she agreed to marry him.

But it doesn’t matter whether he is a good or bad person. Even if he agreed, she felt that her heart was dead, like a puppet, like a shell.

Only then did she realize that it would be painful for her to marry someone she didn't love, even if he was a good man.

Since Jiang Jinyan didn't have anyone he liked, did she still have a chance? She wanted to find out why he didn't get married at the age of 27.

She suddenly said, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for considering me. I will be very grateful to you, but it is only gratitude from a friend. Don't feel any psychological burden. I don't want to marry you anymore."

Jiang Jinyan was stunned.

Zhang Yumo added, "Actually, I had thought it through before I agreed to the Li family's proposal. Since you don't like me, I won't force you. From now on, we can just be friends, okay?"

She wants to retreat in order to advance.
