The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 425 Confession (1)

Butler Lin lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Jiang Ruan's expression. Jiang Ruan squeezed his fist and calmed down slowly. That's right, Xiao Shao killed Ye Li in the last life, didn't he also sit on the throne?So it turned out that he was originally a member of the royal family, and the emperor was planning to pass the position to him?

"There are differences between monarchs and ministers," Xiao Shao remained unmoved: "Your Majesty's country should be handed over to more talented people. I will not accept your majesty's arrangement."

"You... are stubborn!" The emperor jumped angrily, suddenly thought of something, and changed the subject: "You insist on refusing to take the throne because of that girl? I heard that you only spoil her, how can this be? I just thought you were young and didn't know the pros and cons of it. Since you really like the girl, you can marry her back. Now that you only spoil her, how will you convince the public in the future? The people of the Jin Dynasty don't need a man who is only obsessed with the love between men and women Emperor!"

"The minister said it a long time ago." It seemed that Jiang Ruan made Xiao Shao a little unhappy, and his tone suddenly became more serious: "I will not agree with your arrangement. Your Majesty should choose another wise man."

Not only Xiao Shao was a little unhappy, but Lin Butler also showed a little unhappiness on his face.What kind of existence Jiang Ruan is in the Jinying Palace now, that is the concubine that everyone recognizes and admires very much.What does it mean for the emperor to beat someone to death like this?Even the emperor cannot deny a person's advantages at will.Not to mention the princess that everyone agrees is perfect.

The three people inside and outside the room were unhappy, but Jiang Ruan was the calmest.She is not sad because of this, she has disliked the emperor since ancient times, and she doesn't care about it in her past and present lives.

"Ah Shao," the emperor suddenly softened his tone, and said helplessly as if admitting defeat: "Could it be that you have forgotten your father? I promised him..."

"Your Majesty," Xiao Shao interrupted him with a sharp tone: "You also promised the minister's mother."

The emperor suddenly stopped talking.

After some time, the emperor's tired voice came: "Anyway, Ah Shao, you should think about what I said today." Jiang Ruan hurriedly avoided the housekeeper Lin as if he was about to leave the house. to the side room.After watching the emperor leave, Steward Lin looked at Jiang Ruan, hesitated for a moment, and said: "What does the princess want to know, you might as well ask the master now, the master will not hide anything from you."

Jiang Ruan nodded, thought for a while, then Shi Shi ran into the study.In the study, Xiao Shao was sitting at the table, not knowing what to think, she was not surprised when she saw her, and said: "Did you hear everything?"

Jiang Ruan nodded.Xiao Shao is a person with martial arts, and his martial arts are not weak after all. The emperor couldn't hear the sound of her breathing just now when she and Butler Lin were outside, but Xiao Shao might not be able to hear it. I'm afraid it was intentional for her to hear it.She sat down beside Xiao Shao, the silver bat pattern on Xiao Shao's neckline showed a deep dark luster, glowing with cold light, which made his expression very serious.

"Ah Ruan, I have something to tell you." Xiao Shao said.

"Just right," Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I also have something to tell you."

Xiao Shao was startled, staring at Jiang Ruan without speaking for a moment.Jiang Ruan looked at the thick booklets on the table. The booklets were neat and tidy, as if to show how often the master read them.Xiao Shao is careful and cautious. If he doesn't say many things, it doesn't mean he doesn't know.The husband and wife each have their own secrets, and Jiang Ruan has always wanted to confess, but now that Xiao Shao mentioned this first, she felt that it was better for her to say it first.

"Do you remember that when I came back from Canaan Mountain, I told you a word," Jiang Ruan said with a smile: "I said I have something to tell you."

Xiao Shao said: "Remember."

"What I want to tell you now is this matter." Jiang Ruan sighed, with a trace of melancholy in his eyes: "Actually, I don't know what you will think of me after listening to me, maybe you are keeping me at a respectful distance, maybe something It won't happen either. But no matter what, I will continue. I think we should be honest." Her tone was frank, even if there was a trace of uncertain hesitation, she continued after a short pause.

"You probably also ordered the Jin Yiwei to investigate me. About the general's disaster relief food, my elder brother was ambushed in the forest, and Master Huijue. You must have many questions, and sometimes you even feel that I am unpredictable. You also It must not be clear, I did something to the Xia family because of Xia Yan's harm to my mother, but I am still blocking Ye Li, including the whole family of Li Dong back then."

Xiao Shao stared at her seriously. It is true that all the things she said were what he had doubts about at the beginning. No matter how powerful Jin Yiwei was, he still couldn't find any clues, and the only possible thing seemed too absurd.

"You must still be surprised, why the Thirteenth Highness and I seem to have such a close relationship, and Taifu Liu seems to want to help me, I can always know how many things are going on in the court. Xiao Shao, this is not a coincidence." Jiang Ruan looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Because I already knew what would happen. I have experienced all these things myself. I died once, Xiao Shao."

"Ah Ruan." Xiao Shao said suddenly, he frowned and interrupted her: "You don't have to tell me."

Even a few words spoken casually are shocking enough, and every sentence in these words is not acceptable to normal people.But Jiang Ruan herself didn't realize that even though she tried her best to cover up, when she said these words, there was still a strange madness in her eyes.

"You don't believe me?" Jiang Ruan asked back.

"No, I believe you." Xiao Shao said: "I just think that if what you want to say makes you painful, you don't have to say it. I don't have to know. I don't care what happened in the past, as long as the one who is by my side now is You. You will always be my princess."

His tone was gentle, and his expression was calm and unwavering, but a trace of imperceptible indulgence flashed quickly in his eyes.The comfort in these words is heart-warming. Jiang Ruan looked at him and suddenly smiled: "But I would like to tell you that there are some things that have been in my heart for a long time. If you can share some with me, I will be much more relaxed. At least It makes me feel like I'm not alone in this life."

Xiao Shao was slightly taken aback, and did not speak for a while.Jiang Ruan paused, and slowly said: "The me you see now should not be like this. My mother passed away when I was six years old, and Xia Yan became a aunt. She treats me very kindly on the surface, and Jiang Susu is also very kind. Lovely, but the servants always bully me. I didn't understand at that time, I just felt that there were many slaves in the mansion, and I didn't understand until later that if there was no order from the master, how could the slaves dare to bully the daughter-in-law in the mansion like this. But No matter what, I was sent to Zhuangzi in the end, and my eldest brother was hinted by Xia Yan in private, thinking that as long as he left, they would not treat me badly, so he left home when he was young, and we separated as brothers and sisters."

"Later, I lived in Zhuangzi. The life in Zhuangzi was very bad. Everyone forgot that I was actually the daughter of Shangshufu. Many times I lived worse than a servant. Zhang Lan and her daughter searched They took away all my belongings and used me like a slave. Their son even wanted to bully me." Jiang Ruan noticed Xiao Shao's frown getting tighter and tighter, and said with a smile: "These things come to Jinyiwei. Told you. You know."
