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

That day, Song Jing came to Chenxi Palace to pay respects again. She started gossiping in front of Jiang Fenghua again, "I heard that the emperor turned over Concubine Han's green card."

Jiang Fenghua said calmly: "I know." The manager of the Jingshifang would report to her about the sleeping arrangements of the concubines in the harem.

Song Jing added, "There are so many sisters in the harem who have not been favored by the emperor, but I didn't expect that a newcomer would take over."

Jiang Fenghua changed the subject, "The Emperor's birthday is coming soon, I'll leave it to you, Concubine Shu, to prepare! Please ask Concubine Gao to assist you." She really didn't have the energy to prepare a banquet.

"I'm afraid I can't do it. Your Majesty should organize it!" Song Jing refused. "I've never organized such a large banquet before. I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, the emperor will not like it."

"You are so smart, how could the emperor not like you." Jiang Fenghua took her hand, "Among the first batch of concubines who entered the palace, only you have secured the position of concubine and gave birth to the emperor's second prince. I think it is not too much for sister Shufei to be promoted to noble concubine. Only if you perform more in front of the emperor will you have a chance. As for those newcomers, they have to give birth to royal heirs before they have a chance to climb up."

After hearing what the Queen said, Song Jing insisted, "Your Majesty, please arrange for another concubine to take care of it! I can't do it."

"In that case, let Gao Zhaoyi take care of it!" Jiang Fenghua did not give Song Jing another chance to speak.

Song Jing was stunned for a moment, and soon she smiled lightly, "That's great, I can focus on taking care of the Second Prince, Sister Gao is well-read, she will definitely be able to do it."

Song Jing started chatting again, "Last time I received a letter from home, I heard that the Queen's brother is very powerful in the army."

"The Ninth Princess should have arrived at the border." Jiang Fenghua asked.

Song Jing said, "Not yet, it should be here soon."

Jiang Fenghua glanced at Song Jing, who was well-informed. She asked again, "General Peng has also returned to the border. The Ninth Princess should be escorted out of the border by General Peng when she gets married this time."

Song Jing smiled and said, "The Queen's brother will go too!"

Afterwards, Song Jing deliberately lowered her voice and whispered, "In fact, the Ninth Princess's wedding procession has arrived at the border, and her death is not far away."

Jiang Fenghua stared at her with shock in his eyes, "Who told you this?"

Song Jing felt that she had said something wrong and wanted to change the subject quickly.

Jiang Fenghua immediately became alert, closed the door himself, and pretended to say, "Shufei, what do you mean by what you said just now? The Ninth Princess is obviously going to marry a foreign prince, how can you say that her death is not far away?"

Song Jing didn't expect that her unintentional words would make the queen so nervous: "Actually, it was my brother who told me. He said that heroes emerge in troubled times, and he also wants to contribute to the Great Zhou this time. He also said that my uncle will lead the troops to eliminate the Hu people." If her uncle wins this battle, his official position will be promoted, but she didn't say this.

Jiang Fenghua said coldly, "Who else have you said this to?"

Song Jing shook her head, "No, how could I possibly tell anyone about it? I've also told my brother to stop talking nonsense."

"You'd better not have it. From now on, watch your mouth, otherwise your uncle and your brother will be in danger." Jiang Fenghua added, "Pray for the second prince more after returning to the palace! Don't run around and don't say anything nonsense."

Song Jing nodded hurriedly, "I understand."

Jiang Fenghua was a little worried. Even if she knew that Xie Ling'er would not live long, that was a thing in the future. It had not happened yet, and no one knew about Xie Shang's plan.

Even if General Peng knew, he should not have told Song Jing's brother the news carelessly.

The news has already reached Song Jing, which only means that Xie Shang’s plan is likely to have been leaked.

After Song Jing left, Jiang Fenghua wrote a secret letter and gave it to Nanny Wang, instructing her: "Be sure to hand the letter to the emperor in person and don't let anyone know."

When Nanny Wang heard the Queen's repeated instructions, she naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.

Afterwards, Nanny Wang came back again, and her face was also very unhappy. "The emperor didn't read the letter, and he burned it in front of me. I think he did it on purpose."

After hearing this, Jiang Fenghua asked, "Does he want to sever ties with me?" Her fourth brother was still at the border, and she couldn't let him fall into danger, especially when there were so many soldiers from the Great Zhou fighting on the front line.

Nanny Wang didn't know why the queen was so worried. "Your Majesty, please write another letter and I will deliver it to you. I will make sure that the emperor reads it in person."

"No need. I'll go find him myself." The weather outside was already very hot and she was about to finish her confinement, so she didn't take any protective measures this time.

Jiang Fenghua arrived at the imperial study where Xie Shang was discussing state affairs with ministers, and Jiang Jinyan was also there.

It was obvious that Jiang Jinyan and others had just arrived and the state affairs had not yet begun.

It was against etiquette for the Queen to enter the Imperial Study without being informed.

She thought: Who made the door of the imperial study not closed? She thought Xie Shang was the only one there, so she just walked in.

She bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Jiang Fenghua was dressed casually today, but still very beautiful and well-mannered. Seeing her expression, Xie Shang was not angry and said to the ministers, "Go out, we will discuss this later."

"Minister Jiang, please stay." Jiang Fenghua stood up straight and said directly.

The ministers also paused and bowed quickly, "I will take my leave first."

Just waiting for everyone to leave, Jiang Fenghua asked someone to guard outside, closed the door herself, and walked in front of Xie Shang as if nothing had happened. It seemed as if she had never had a cold war with Xie Shang, and had never even said that she didn't like him.

"Your Majesty, I just accidentally learned a piece of news." Jiang Fenghua's eyes were clear and her expression was slightly anxious. "The Ninth Princess went to the border to marry the Hu people, but the news that Your Majesty wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate the Hu people has been leaked."

Xie Shang's expression was slightly cold. "I have never told you my plan. How did you know about it? Did Jiang Zhiqin tell you?"

"My fourth brother is definitely not so unreliable, and I didn't know the emperor's plan from anyone." Since Jiang Fenghua had already laid her cards on the table with Xie Shang, there was no need for her to pretend. "I guessed it. Just now, I also learned about the emperor's plan from Concubine Song Shu, so I guessed that it was leaked."

Jiang Fenghua recounted the conversation with Concubine Song Shufei, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can check it out now before the Ninth Princess arrives at the border."

Xie Shang looked at Jiang Jinyan.

Jiang Jinyan said, "I did not transport the grain and grass through the government, but through merchants. I also spent a lot of time to mobilize my connections, and I will definitely not leak it."

Only then did Jiang Fenghua know what Jiang Jinyan was going to do outside Beijing.
