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

"I was thinking of arranging fireworks tonight. I don't know if the palace maids have made arrangements. Please don't let anything go wrong. I want to hold a perfect birthday party for Your Highness and the child." Jiang Fenghua said in a gentle voice.

"Let the people in the Ministry of Rites take care of it. Don't do these small things yourself." Xie Shang held her hand and said with concern, "Don't worry about the health of the ladies all day long. You should also pay attention to your own health. Father and mother pay the most attention to the royal heir. I value Ruan Ruan and my children more. In the future, we should also be able to give Xi'er and Hongyou more brothers and sisters."

Jiang Fenghua was shy, "I understand."

The fireworks show in the evening was very gorgeous. People from all over Shengjing came out to climb high places to watch the fireworks in the imperial city.

Here, Xiao Yu arrived at the Jiang residence, and Jiang Jinyan had people prepare wine and food, "Brother Xiao, please."

Xiao Yu picked up the wine glass and looked at Jiang Jinyan who looked depressed. He said, "Brother Jiang, something happened in your family. Xiao Yu is also very sad, but Brother Jiang, you have to cheer up! Some things have already happened even if they don't happen."

Jiang Jinyan smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine.

Xiao Yu was worried about him, and even more about the man in the palace, "Brother Jiang, have you ever thought about why Su Xuan was able to transport so much gunpowder into the city? Logically, there was no one left in the Su family. At that time, it was too late for everyone to hide from the Su family, so who would help the Su family?"

How could Jiang Jinyan not have thought that Ruan Ruan secretly sent people to intercept Su Xuan, almost blocking all his ways of survival, just waiting for him to show up, ready to find an opportunity to kill him. He should have made some things clear with Mo'er, and it was also his fault that Mo'er was caught off guard.

"I have no idea who is helping Su Xuan." Jiang Jinyan said lightly.

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "Brother Jiang has not been to the government office these days, and has not even left the house. Do you know that someone is spreading rumors about the Jiang family, saying that it was actually the Crown Princess who wanted to kill the Su family because the daughter of the Su family and the Crown Princess were competing for favor. Some people also said that the Crown Prince loved the daughter of the Su family, but now he favors the Crown Princess alone. They even used the appearance of the third girl as an example, citing King Zhou of Shang and the evil concubine Daji, and that three generations of meritorious officials of the Su family were slaughtered overnight."

"Bullshit." Jiang Jinyan slammed the wine glass on the table. "It's simply impossible to distinguish right from wrong. The Su family has done so many evil things, and there are irrefutable evidences. Yet, there are still people gossiping about the Jiang family behind their backs. Did the Jiang family do anything that was against the will of heaven and earth? I understand now. So this is the biggest trap that Su Xuan has left for Ruan Ruan. Now he is exposing these weird remarks. He is setting a life-and-death trap with himself. Ruan Ruan will have a hard time in the future!"

Xiao Yu was also worried about this. "Su Xuan knew that the Su family was in a hopeless situation, so he returned to Shengjing to seek revenge on the Jiang family. He actually wanted to kill two birds with one stone. If he could kill the Crown Princess, everyone would be happy. If not, he would use his death to set up a conspiracy. So I guess there must be someone helping him behind the scenes. As for who this person is, I don't know."

"I also heard that there is a lot of controversy in the court about the position of Minister of Revenue. Censor Zhu and his group support Shu Lang, the Right Vice Minister of Revenue." Xiao Yu said, "Brother Jiang, what do you think of this position? If Brother Jiang can get this position, it will definitely be of great help to the third young lady, but..."

Jiang Jinyan suddenly looked at Xiao Yu, and immediately became alert. He said in a cold voice, "My third sister is already married. Don't you understand who she married? Brother Xiao, are you too concerned about some things?"

Xiao Yu suddenly felt that he had spoken out of turn, and knew that he had lost his composure after hearing these remarks. "Brother Jiang, please rest assured that Xiao Yu will never destroy the Great Wall, and will not cause any trouble for the Third Miss. The only way to dispel the rumors is to eliminate the power in the hands of the Jiang family."

Jiang Jinyan said in a deep voice, "I understand what Brother Xiao means. If the Jiang family gets this position, they will become the target of public criticism, and it will also confirm the rumors that the Jiang family wants to seize power. Now even if the prince wants to give me this position, the best solution is to refuse the position to dispel the rumors."

Xiao Yu frowned and thought to himself: Would the third girl have the same idea?

Jiang Jinyan smiled bitterly and said, "If it was Ruan Ruan, she would definitely let me take this position. Now someone wants to harm the Jiang family. Even if I give up the throne, others will still do it. It is better to seize this opportunity and face the challenge head on."

He knew his sister and knew she was a rebellious person. The Jiang family would be pushed to the forefront at this time. As long as the emperor knew that the Jiang family and he had no ulterior motives, the Jiang family would not be bullied.

Soon, Jiang Fenghua told Jiang Jinyan the news that the Zhu family might have helped Su Xuan behind the scenes, and asked him to investigate secretly. If the Zhu family dared to do such a thing, they would definitely leave clues.

After the prince’s birthday banquet, the emperor’s appointment edict also came down.

Jiang Jinyan took up the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and for a time the Jiang family became even more prominent.

Jiang Fenghua thought: The Jiang family can only wait and see, and not risk this for the time being. Over time, the rumors will naturally dispel. However, the Zhu family did not take any action either. Even after Jiang Jinyan was appointed Minister of Revenue, Censor Zhu congratulated him happily. The position of Right Vice Minister Shu Lang remained unchanged, and he was also very honest and dutiful.

Two months later, good news came from the East Palace again. Concubine Song gave birth to a little grandson for the royal family, and the emperor named him Xie Hongrui.

In fact, Jiang Fenghua protected Concubine Song's pregnancy very closely. She already knew about the rumors outside. Rumors were just rumors after all. Xie Shang knew better than anyone how Su Xuan died. Her way to dispel the rumors was to ensure that all the pregnant ladies in the Eastern Palace were safe and sound and gave birth safely.

This way, people won't talk about her as the Crown Princess doting on the emperor.

In fact, Jiang Fenghua had always been on guard against Zhu Zhenzhen. Song Jing was a lady who entered the palace at the same time as her. Zhu Zhenzhen would definitely feel uncomfortable when Song Jing gave birth to a child. However, she was immersed in it for two months and had been recuperating honestly.

There are two more ladies in the Eastern Palace who are due to give birth in less than two months.

On this day, Jiang Fenghua had just returned from Concubine Song's palace when she suddenly fell ill.

Nanny Wang hurriedly asked someone to invite Imperial Doctor Mei to come and see the patient, and this matter also alarmed Bu Xie Shang.

When Xie Shang learned that the Crown Princess was ill, he immediately put down his state affairs and rushed over, "Ruan Ruan, how do you feel?"

Jiang Fenghua used her eyes to repel Nanny Wang and the others, and said softly, "I am fine. I just didn't get enough rest these days because I was watching Concubine Song give birth. Concubine Song lasted three days and three nights from labor to birth. I was just too nervous."

"Didn't I tell you that the young ladies have their own palace maids and nannies to serve them, so you don't have to worry too much. You are just worrying about nothing." Xie Shang said in a deep voice.

Jiang Fenghua was afraid that he would be angry, so she continued, "Your Highness, please listen to my explanation. General Peng must be worried about Concubine Song's situation when he went to the border. I will guard the East Palace to relieve your worries. And..."

"Anything else?" Xie Shang's tone slowed down.
