Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 174 Choice

Guan Shanyun accompanied Jiang Feng all the way back to Jiang Mansion.

On the way, Guan Shanyun said: "Aying said that Chu Yan cured his face and escaped."

Jiang Feng was not surprised. He just sighed, as if talking about Chu Yan, but also as if talking about someone else: "Is there no way to solve it once and for all? Perform a play today, set up a trap tomorrow, when will it end?"

Guan Shanyun said with a hint of melancholy: "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. If you live a peaceful life, others will not live a peaceful life. So they have to make things difficult for you."

Jiang Feng asked helplessly: "If I die, will Princess Yiye and Princess Cheng'an be able to continue their relationship with Shen Guxing?"

Guan Shanyun didn't say anything.

Jiang Feng asked again in great confusion: "Jiang Fei married the prince. Did she go to the Eastern Palace without a brain? Why did she..."

Guan Shanyun can answer this question for her.

"The Princess of Ji'an told her that you reported her use of Aconitum poison to the Crown Prince, and even persuaded Dou Ding to testify for you."

It’s the Princess of Ji’an again. She is like a thorn in the flesh!

Jiang Feng defended himself: "I didn't!"

Guan Shanyun smiled helplessly and said, "I am always worried. Because I have done something bad, once there is a slight disturbance, I will suspect that something bad will happen to me!"

Jiang Feng suddenly thought of the previous question, and asked, "How do you know that it was Ji An who told Jiang Fei?"

After a brief thought, he asked again, "Is it Sister Aying?"

Guan Shanyun nodded.

Jiang Feng thought for a long time before saying, "Brother, you said that among those who have repeatedly harmed the prince, is the Princess of Ji'an involved?"

Guan Shanyun said: "I don't know whether there is, but she is not a simple palace lady."

Jiang Feng said: "Brother, you are far away from the Jianghu, you can guess that the Princess of Ji'an is not innocent. But Prince Xue and the Crown Prince don't believe it, they just think she is a poor little girl abandoned by Shen Guxing."

Guan Shanyun disagreed with Jiang Feng's opinion and said, "Those two are strategists who have conquered the world. If the Princess of Ji'an County was really involved, how could she not notice it? Probably, there are other considerations."

Jiang Feng pondered to himself, what are the other considerations?

Her brows were furrowed, and Guan Shanyun's heart was also uneasy.

He asked, "What are you going to do about today?"

"We have to do what we have to do." Jiang Feng closed his folding fan and continued, "If there were no Iron Arm Man, it might be difficult to get the Crown Prince to severely punish Cheng An and Jiang Fei. But since the Iron Arm Man has gotten involved, Cheng An can't get away with it. As for Jiang Fei, although he didn't do it himself, he wants to clear himself... unless Li Longji is a fool, or deliberately shielding him. But Ji An..."

Jiang Feng paused for a moment, tapped his fan, and said, "She is slippery and is behind all this. The Iron Arm Man has escaped again. Even if Cheng An and Jiang Fei come forward to testify, it will be difficult to convict her."

Guan Shanyun thought of another point and said, "The Iron-Armed Man was involved in the assassination of the Crown Prince, and the villain wanted to hide him to avoid being exposed. The Princess of Ji'an is thoughtful and has someone to use, so why did she have to send such a conspicuous person?"

Jiang Feng patted his head with his fan, and suddenly realized: "Since Ji An knows that Dou Ding confessed to me about the aconite poison, he must know that the Iron Arm Man has been exposed from Liangzhou to Chang'an. He might as well send him to Cheng An to deal with me. Killing me is the best. If he fails, it will also disrupt the situation."

Princess Cheng'an was just a victim, and Ji'an had already planned to let her take the blame.

Guan Shanyun hesitated to speak, and finally said: "I'm afraid there is a backup plan."

Jiang Feng rubbed his head, wondering what other people's tricks were.

Guan Shanyun knew that she had experienced life and death today, so he didn't want her to worry anymore. He smiled and advised: "When the enemy comes, we will fight back; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. It's useless to hit your head now. Why don't you go back and have a good sleep. We can talk about everything tomorrow."

After listening to Guan Shanyun's words, Jiang Feng immediately felt sleepy and decided to have a good sleep.

Because he didn't know what the prince would decide in the end, Jiang Feng told You Ran and Qiao Qing to keep their mouths shut about what happened today just to be on the safe side.

She herself followed Guan Shanyun's advice and had a good sleep!

The next day, the sea was calm.

On the third day, the sea was calm.

On the third day, the sea was calm.

On the fourth day, Li Longye rushed back to Chang'an overnight.

On the fifth day, the emperor issued an edict, demoting Princess Cheng'an to a commoner and placing her under house arrest.

However, there has been no movement regarding the handling of Jiang Fei.

When I woke up that morning, the weather was fine and magpies were calling on the branches.

Jiang Feng was still washing up when he came running in leisurely, smiling, and said, "Girl, girl, the prince is here."

Jiang Feng listened and continued to draw his eyebrows calmly.

With her eyebrows lightly raised and her lips painted red, Li Longye was still distracted for a moment under the watchful eyes of everyone.

After some greetings, everyone left, leaving only Jiang Feng and Li Longye.

Li Longye said: "It seems to have grown taller."

These words reminded Jiang Feng of when Lin Jinran was a child. Whenever she went to her grandfather's house during festivals, her grandfather would gesture and say: My daughter has grown taller again.

Jiang Feng imitated what he did when he was a child, first touching the top of his head with his hand, then moving it horizontally to Li Longye, precisely targeting the area just above his chest.

She raised her head, her eyebrows and eyes were like stars, and said, "It's just grown on the prince's heart."

Li Longye smiled brightly and embraced the girl.

I embrace warmth, but the news it brings is cold.

Li Longye said that the prince wanted Jiang Feng to come forward and testify before His Majesty to prove that Jiang Fei was absolutely not in cahoots with Princess Cheng'an.

Jiang Feng was not surprised at all and said, "Okay."

Li Longye also expected this answer, but he still felt uncomfortable.

According to Li Longji's solution, even Princess Cheng'an had to be lifted high and put down gently.

He rushed back overnight and firmly disagreed.

Li Longye was very clear about the prince's worries: if he severely punished Princess Cheng'an, he would inevitably push the Iron Arm Man to the forefront. Because of the assassination of the prince by the Iron Arm Man last year, Li Dan believed that it was Princess Taiping and Prince Ning who wanted to kill Li Longji, and the emperor's heart began to lean towards the prince. He took away the power of Princess Taiping and Prince Ning, and strengthened the power of the prince Li Longji.

Now it is discovered that the Iron-Armed Man is actually Cheng An's man. Isn't that an injustice to his sister and eldest son!

If Jiang Fei was involved, he would even suspect that it was a self-torture trick directed and acted by Li Longji.

In Li Longji's view, compared with the throne of royal power, the assassination of Jiang Feng was not a big deal, so he wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Li Longye insisted on severely punishing the murderer, but the two brothers held different opinions and were at a stalemate.

In the end, they chose a compromise and put all the blame on Cheng An and picked Jiang Fei out.

This decision was not made because Jiang Fei was so important, but because if Jiang Fei was involved, Li Longji would really have trouble explaining himself.

All people and things must make way for the stability of the Eastern Palace.

Jiang Feng had already anticipated this when he came down from Gratitude Temple.
