Chapter 626 Means (V)

Prince Huaiyang was already a fish on the chopping board, looking like he could be bullied. However, he did not get angry when he heard this, but nodded in agreement.

Wu'an County Prince was so angry that he pointed at Jiang Shaohua's nose and cursed: "How dare you, a junior of the Jiang family, speak to me like this? You are so disrespectful to your elders and don't know the difference between high and low...ah!"

A terrifying scream was heard.

The right index finger pointing at Jiang Shaohua was hit hard by Jiang Shaohua's punch and was almost broken on the spot.

The Prince of Wu'an was almost sixty years old. He screamed in pain on the spot and tears came out. It was really embarrassing.

Jiang Shaohua's eyebrows did not move, and he said coldly: "This is a warning. If you dare to point your finger at me again, I will directly break your hand!"

The tone was grim and murderous.

Prince Huaiyang was shocked by Jiang Shaohua's ruthlessness and murderousness.

The Wu'an County Prince cried out in agony, but he didn't have the courage to argue with Jiang Shaohua. Instead, he turned to the Queen Mother Zheng and cried, "Jiang Shaohua is so cruel and ruthless. He treats elders disrespectfully and hits them without hesitation. It's really unbecoming. How can such a person stay in the palace? If he has other intentions one day, who can control him?"

Even though things have gotten so miserable, he still doesn't forget to put pressure on Jiang Shaohua!
Queen Mother Zheng was very satisfied with Jiang Shaohua and was very confident in him. She sneered and said, "If Shaohua wasn't so powerful, wouldn't my Prince Heping, who is old and young, be bullied by others?"

"Both of you are now suspected of treason. Only when you are cleared of suspicion can you leave the capital and return to your fiefdom."

"Come here, send them to the Heavenly Prison, and remember to separate them from the Prince of Dongping."

At the command of Empress Dowager Zheng, several imperial guards came over, all wearing soft armor and carrying swords, with cold eyes.

Obviously, if Prince Huaiyang and Prince Wu'an intended to resist, these royal guards would immediately draw their swords and fight against them.

It was Prince Huaiyang who stood up first to accept the order.

Prince Wu'an looked unhappy, glared at Jiang Shaohua fiercely, and stood up reluctantly.

The royal guards took the two princes to the Heavenly Prison without mentioning anything else.

The Queen Mother Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Prince Ping tightly in her arms, and murmured, "Hao'er, don't be afraid. With grandma here, no one dares to take your throne."

"If anyone dares to have any idea, grandma will get rid of him for you!"

Was he talking to himself, or was he using this as a warning to her?
Jiang Shaohua sneered in his heart but remained expressionless.

Prince Ping was hugged too tightly, feeling uncomfortable all over, and struggled to break free from the embrace of Queen Mother Zheng, ran to Jiang Shaohua, and pulled Jiang Shaohua's sleeve: "Cousin, I want to sleep with you tonight."

Jiang Shaohua's mouth twitched slightly, and he resisted the urge to kick Jiang Hao away: "Last night in the imperial mausoleum, the situation was tense, so I allowed you to add a narrow couch in the room. Now you are back in the palace, and there are a group of imperial guards guarding you, so you are safe and worry-free."

Queen Mother Zheng didn't misunderstand anything. Prince Ping was young, and his mind was even younger, with an IQ of about three years old. In Prince Ping's mind, there was no concept of gender difference. He just loved and trusted Jiang Shaohua and wanted to stick to her.

Empress Dowager Zheng said to Jiang Shaohua, "You have worked hard these days. It is getting late today. Just rest in Jingyang Palace."

This was the "favor" of Empress Dowager Zheng, and it could not be refused.

Jiang Shaohua had no intention of breaking up with Empress Dowager Zheng at the moment, so he nodded in agreement.

Empress Dowager Zheng was very satisfied with Jiang Shaohua's obedience, and she ordered Concubine Fan to come and take Prince Ping away.

Jiang Shaohua lived in Jingyang Palace for several months, and her bedroom was always kept and tidy. Yin Zhu Tu Bai was left in Nanyang County and not brought to the capital. Cui Du was a man and could not stay in Jingyang Palace. The only one who could accompany Jiang Shaohua was Chen Jinyu.

As soon as the door closed, Chen Jinyu frowned and whispered, "Does the Empress Dowager want to put the princess under house arrest?"

Jiang Shaohua said calmly, "That's not the case. Zheng Chen defected, Duke Anguo was seriously injured, and the Zheng family was suspected of rebellion and treason. The Empress Dowager needed someone to stabilize the situation and intimidate the ministers, and that person must be me. She kept me in Jingyang Palace as a means of showing favor."

Chen Jinyu couldn't help but mutter: "Who wants such a grace! It's better to leave the palace and return to the palace!"

Jiang Shaohua glanced at Chen Jinyu and said, "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. We should rest early. There will be a tough battle to fight at the court meeting tomorrow."

Chen Jinyu nodded, and ordered the palace servants to bring hot water and help the princess wash up. Then they went to bed together.

Jiang Shaohua felt a little tired, so he lay down on the bed and soon fell sleepy.

Chen Jinyu was worried. She looked at the sleepy Jiang Shaohua sideways and whispered, "Princess, I always feel that you are a little different from before."

"Your appetite has not been as good as before these days, and you feel tired more easily."

This is a close confidant who really knows her. Some things can be kept secret for a while, but it is impossible and will not be kept secret forever.

Jiang Shaohua opened her eyes and whispered, "I am pregnant and I am already three months pregnant."

Chen Jinyu: "..."

Chen Jinyu's pupils suddenly widened, she gasped, grabbed Jiang Shaohua's hand, and spoke incoherently: "The princess is pregnant? Oh my God! Why did you keep such a happy event a secret? Before, the princess led the troops into the palace and killed the traitor! Fortunately, the fetus was not disturbed and she was not injured!"

"Why has the princess kept it a secret? You should ask an imperial physician to diagnose her pulse."

"Grandfather doesn't know about this yet. I have to send someone to send a letter to him immediately..."

Jiang Shaohua interrupted her softly: "Cui Du knows, and you are the second person to know. It is not appropriate to make it public now, let's talk about it later."

Chen Jinyu was still in shock, joy and confusion, and nodded subconsciously. When she calmed down a little, she understood: "Tomorrow's grand court meeting will definitely support the new emperor. At this critical moment, the princess's pregnancy must not be known to others."

It was difficult for a woman to fight for the throne. If she was pregnant, the court officials would easily think that "pregnancy and childbirth are the top priorities for a woman, so how can she have the energy to handle government affairs?", which was quite disadvantageous to the princess.

Chen Jinyu was lost in thoughts, and when he came to his senses, he saw that the princess had fallen asleep with her eyes closed.

Chen Jinyu didn't dare to move any more, for fear of waking up the princess. She closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

At five o'clock the next morning, Jiang Shaohua got up as usual.

While changing clothes, Chen Jinyu looked carefully at Jiang Shaohua's waist and abdomen.

Jiang Shaohua also looked down and said, "My belly isn't bulging yet, so I can't see it."

Chen Jinyu hummed, and could not help but whisper a reminder: "There will be a big court meeting later. No matter what happens, Princess, don't get angry."

Jiang Shaohua pulled the corner of his mouth: "I'll try my best."

A pregnant woman should not see blood or kill anything. She violated all these taboos. Before the child was born, he had already "experienced a lot".
