Chapter 531 Anger (IV)
The imperial guards were all shocked and shouted to stop him: "Princess, please stop!"

"Please stop, Princess! How is Mr. Zheng injured? Do you want to call the imperial physician?"

Jiang Shaohua's voice came through clearly: "Don't worry, he won't die. Don't come over, I have something to say to Zheng Sheren alone."

After saying that, he reached out and picked up Zheng Chen and went to a tree a few meters away.

The imperial guards didn't dare to move forward. When they wanted to go forward, they were stopped by Song Yuan and could only watch.

With a bang, Zheng Chen fell to the ground. He was in great pain and vomited blood.

Jiang Shaohua didn't do anything else. He just stood there, looking down at Zheng Chen coldly.

Zheng Chen took a few sharp breaths and managed to regain some strength to speak: "Jiang Shaohua, what do you mean? Why did you suddenly attack?"

Jiang Shaohua said coldly: "Zheng Chen, there are only you and me here, they are far away, no one can hear you and me talking."

"Don't act so pretentiously in front of me. You instigated Jiang Yi to assassinate the assassin outside the Ministry of Works that day. As for the assassination of Cui Du in Nanyang County, it had nothing to do with Jiang Yi. It was you who ordered it."

"I have no evidence, and I don't need any. I know it's you!"

This place is too secluded, and the nearest palace lanterns are five or six meters away.

The moonlight shone through the sparse branches and leaves. Zheng Chen's face was dark and uncertain, and complex emotions surged in his eyes, and finally turned into one sentence: "You have no evidence, how can you say it was me."

Jiang Shaohua raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically: "You dare to do it but you don't dare to take the responsibility! This is not like the Prime Minister Zheng I know!"

Zheng Chen couldn't stand being mocked in front of Jiang Shaohua, and his eyes were filled with anger: "Jiang Shaohua! What if I did it?"

"If you have the ability, go to the emperor and correct me, or go to Jingyang Palace and complain to the Empress Dowager. Let's see whether they believe you or me."

Jiang Shaohua said coldly: "You are the emperor's companion, and you grew up in the palace. The emperor trusts you very much, and the empress dowager loves you very much. I have no evidence, so I can't correct you at will. Before you took action, you expected that I would have to swallow my anger."

Zheng Chen spat out two mouthfuls of blood, his mouth full of a sweet and fishy smell, and the pain in his waist and abdomen from being kicked was even more intense. He covered his waist and abdomen with his hands, exhaled slowly, and tried to make his voice steady and calm: "Whatever you say or think."

"Have you vented all your anger? If you have, help me up. I will take you to Jingyang Palace."

Jiang Shaohua's eyes flashed with coldness: "You should be thankful that Cui Du is not seriously injured. If anything happened to him, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

Zheng Chen was completely enraged: "You actually wanted to kill me? Jiang Shaohua! You are ambitious and refused to marry. You insisted on finding a son-in-law. That's why you chose Cui Du, who was born in a humble family but had some farming skills. Don't tell me that you fell in love with him!"

"Who told you that I was pretending to be serious?" Jiang Shaohua's eyes were particularly bright: "I asked Cui Du to be my son-in-law because I like him."

Zheng Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his body trembled. Like a wounded beast, it was stabbed hard, and he didn't know whether he felt more pain or anger and hatred. "You like Cui Du? What a joke! How can he compare to me! Even compared to Wang Jin, he is far behind."

He could accept losing to Wang Jin. After all, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. In their previous life, Jiang Shaohua and Wang Jin had been husband and wife for three years. Who was Cui Du, who showed up halfway? How could he win Jiang Shaohua's heart? Jiang Shaohua beat Zheng Chen up, and the pent-up anger in her heart was slightly relieved. She looked at Zheng Chen's slightly distorted and hideous face, and said coldly: "Put away your face! You are not worthy of pointing fingers at him!"

Zheng Chen was extremely angry and resentful, but he laughed instead: "Okay! Jiang Shaohua, since you have been so heartless to me, I don't need to show mercy to you anymore. From today onwards, you and I will be complete strangers."

Jiang Shaohua sneered, and suddenly reached out and punched him again. He didn't hit his face, but his left shoulder. Zheng Chen was also a tough guy, and sweat dripped down his forehead in pain, but he didn't beg for mercy.

"If you have the guts, just beat me to death in front of all these people!" Zheng Chen squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I want to see how you will explain to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, how you will explain to the civil and military officials in the court, and how you will explain to the people of the world."

Jiang Shaohua sneered: "Put away your ridiculous provocation! I'm only going to beat you up today to vent my anger. However, if you dare to reach out to Nanyang County again in the future, you will be my, Jiang Shaohua's, sworn enemy!"

"I will return to you exactly what you said that day. I hope you won't become my enemy!"

After saying that, Jiang Shaohua turned and left.

Zheng Chen wanted to get up, but the slightest movement caused him to feel unbearable pain.

"Commander Song, go help Zheng Sheren up." Jiang Shaohua ordered calmly, "Zheng Sheren and I were sparring, and I accidentally injured Zheng Sheren. Send Zheng Sheren back to rest, and ask the imperial physician to take a look at him."

Song Yuan accepted the order with a bow, and went to the tree to pull up Zheng Sheren. As a warrior, it was inevitable that his movements would be rough. Zheng Sheren's wound was pulled again, and he gasped in pain.

Song Yuan glanced at him coldly and said, "If Mr. Zheng can't walk, how about I carry him back?"

"No need!" Zheng Chen endured the severe pain and gritted his teeth and said, "I can walk by myself."

……

After a stick of incense, Jiang Shaohua stepped into Jingyang Palace.

Empress Dowager Zheng did not know that Jiang Shaohua had beaten Zheng Chen up, but the news came from Zhaohe Palace. Empress Dowager Zheng knew that Jiang Shaohua was leaving Beijing and returning to Nanyang County, and she was reluctant to let him go.

She held Jiang Shaohua's hand and sighed, "I really don't want you to leave. Shaohua, it would be great if you could stay in the capital and stay by my side."

Jiang Shaohua leaned her head into the arms of Empress Dowager Zheng like a weak girl: "I can't bear to leave my great-aunt. But I am the Princess of Nanyang, and I can't abandon the officials and people of Nanyang County. I have been in the capital for so long, and now my cousin's health is getting better, and the affairs of the court are also sorted out, so I should go back."

Empress Dowager Zheng sighed softly, "The Earl of Changning was attacked by an assassin at the farm, but fortunately only his arm was injured. I know you miss him, so I went back early."

"Well, I won't stop you. The emperor has granted you a decree, allowing you to come to the capital at any time. Go back to Nanyang County for a few days, and come back after the New Year."

Jiang Shaohua said, "If there is no major event, I will not come. I also hope that I will not have to come to the capital in the future."

She came to the capital twice, the first time to attend a funeral, and the second time because Emperor Taihe was seriously ill. As a vassal king, how could she leave her vassal state and come to the capital at will?
The emperor can grant her an imperial decree, but if she really enters and leaves the capital at will, it would mean she is ignorant.
