BXBX NOVEL Chapter 350 - 350: Rui Wang Rebellion
As she spoke, Jiang Peihuan’s silver needle pierced again into Emperor Qi Ming’s head.
Soon after, Emperor Qi Ming let out a scream.
In a place unseen by others, a complex look flashed in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.
She wouldn’t tell anyone, but she did it on purpose.
More than half an hour later, just when Emperor Qi Ming felt he was about to pass out, Jiang Peihuan pulled out all the silver needles from his head.
He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he immediately felt much better.
After doing all this, Jiang Peihuan prepared to leave.
However, as she turned around, Emperor Qi Ming’s voice came from behind, “Wait.”
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan stopped and turned to look at him, “Your Majesty, is there still something discomforting you?”
“Do not spread word of this,” whispered Emperor Qi Ming.
Hearing this, a flicker of confusion passed in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, but she quickly understood and nodded, “Rest assured, Your Majesty.”
Then, Jiang Peihuan left the palace with Xiao Nanye.
After getting into the carriage, Xiao Nanye looked at Jiang Peihuan, “Earlier, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
Hearing his words, Jiang Peihuan turned to look at him and nodded, “Yes.”
She wasn’t surprised that Xiao Nanye realized she had intentionally tormented Emperor Qi Ming. However, what did surprise her was that Xiao Nanye said nothing about it in front of the Emperor.
Perhaps guessing her thoughts, Xiao Nanye glanced at her and laughed, “The Emperor also needs some lessons.”
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes widened in surprise, but she said nothing.
The two returned to the general’s mansion together.
Xue Yan had sent someone to wait at the mansion gate for Jiang Peihuan. Seeing her return safely, the people at the mansion advised her to rest early.
After all, Jiang Peihuan’s belly was growing bigger by the day.
After returning to the Plum Garden and freshening up, Jiang Peihuan lay down in bed. Seeing this, Xiao Nanye put down the book he was reading.
But just as he was about to lay down, there came an urgent knock on the door. “Master?”
The person who knocked on the door was Han Feng. Hearing his voice, both Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye sat up. Jiang Peihuan even reached for a robe to put on.
“Huan Er, lie down first,” said Xiao Nanye, patting her shoulder before he went to open the door.
Seeing Han Feng at the door, Xiao Nanye’s eyes showed clear displeasure, “What is it?”
“Master, something has happened in the palace. Prince Rui has rebelled.”
Hearing Han Feng’s words, Xiao Nanye’s expression changed instantly.
Jiang Peihuan also came to his side immediately.
Footsteps approached from outside.
It was Jiang Changbai.
Seeing Han Feng, he directly said to Xiao Nanye, “King Cheng, have you received the news?”
“Yes,” Xiao Nanye replied with a nod.
Then he turned to Jiang Peihuan and said, “Huan Er, stay in the mansion, if there’s nothing going on, don’t go out. I’m heading to the palace.”
“King Cheng, I’ll go with you.”
Upon hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Jiang Changbai spoke up immediately.
Xiao Nanye remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
Jiang Peihuan did not comment on their decision but gently reminded them, “Be careful in all matters.”
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Xiao Nanye reached out and touched Jiang Peihuan’s long hair, and then left with Han Feng.
The news of the fire inside the palace had already spread. Jiang Hong and his two brothers had left the general’s mansion.
After everyone from the general’s mansion had left, Jiang Peihuan turned to Ye Xiao and said, “Instruct Deputy General Liu on my orders to tightly close the mansion’s doors. Unless it’s someone from inside the mansion, the door should not be opened for anyone.”
“Yes.”
“Eldest sister?”
Ye Xiao had just left when Jian Peihuan () saw Jiang Songbai running over. His eyes were filled with worry.
Just as Ye Xiao left, Jiang Peihuan saw Jiang Songbai running towards her, his eyes filled with concern.
It was probably the first time Jiang Songbai had encountered such a major event. Although he tried to remain calm, his eyes betrayed a hint of anxiety.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Jiang Peihuan gently patted Jiang Songbai’s shoulder, then whispered, “Songbai, our father, second uncle, and third uncle have already entered the palace. Our eldest brother is also not here. You are now the only man in the mansion, and you must remain calm.”
“Yes, I’ll remember what you said, eldest sister.”
“I’ve already ordered Deputy General Liu to have someone guard the door. You, along with Ping An, should also go there.”
“Also, inform Third Aunt and others to gather in grandmother’s courtyard.”
“Yes.”
When Jiang Songbai arrived, his eyes were filled with panic.
But after hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, he immediately looked more composed.
Jiang Peihuan changed her clothes and then walked to the Chrysanthemum Hall with Ye Xiao.
When Jiang Peihuan arrived, Old Madam Jiang had just gotten up.
Zhou Rongfang and Liu Xiu had already arrived.
Xue Yan and Jiang Hong had gone to the palace, so they weren’t there.
At that moment, most of the female members of the Jiang family were present.
“Huan Er?”
When Old Madam Jiang saw Jiang Peihuan, she quickly reached out her hand.
Jiang Peihuan came forward, took the old madam’s hand, and sat beside her, softly comforting, “Grandmother, don’t worry, everything will be alright.”
“I’m just concerned about your father and your uncles.”
Upon hearing the old madam’s words, Jiang Peihuan remained silent for two seconds before replying, “Grandmother, don’t worry. Father and the others will be alright.”
“Nanye also went to the palace. He won’t let anything happen to them.”
“Since King Cheng had went too, that’s reassuring.”
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Jiang Peihuan heard crying from a child in Zhou Rongfang’s arms.
Hearing the crying, Jiang Peihuan instinctively looked at the child.
She had assisted in the child’s birth, witnessing his emergence from Jian Mei’s womb.
“Why is the child crying? Is he hungry?”
“Where is the Nanny?”
Upon hearing the baby’s cries, the old madam immediately asked.
Zhou Rongfang, with tears in her eyes, replied, “It was such a rush when we left, I forgot to call the nanny.”
Hearing this, the old madam frowned.
Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Peihuan gently tugged at her sleeve.
Then, Jiang Peihuan looked at Ye Xiao and whispered, “Go to Fang Garden and bring over my younger brother’s nanny.”
“Yes.”
After Ye Xiao left, Jiang Peihuan went to Zhou Rongfang’s side and gently touched the baby’s face.
As soon as Jiang Peihuan reached out, the baby grabbed her finger and tried to put it in his mouth.
Jiang Peihuan quickly pulled her hand away.
The child began to cry again.
“Second aunt, let me hold the little brother..”
