Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 153 Testing

Jiang Feng was so angry that she was confused. She didn't understand how Ji An could speak so harshly to Princess Taiping, whom he had raised for more than ten years.

Princess Ji'an continued, "There must be a reason for this. Ah Feng, why don't you tell me what made the princess stand against the prince?"

Jiang Feng sneered in his heart, this person might be Ji'an's good father, the current Prince Ning!

She couldn't break the window paper, so she could only say: "I have no say in the important affairs of the court. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have their own decisions. But as the princess's adopted daughter, I really can't bear to hear someone privately meet with the queen. Besides, he is the person she trusts the most."

Ji An said: "Although my great aunt has brought me up, I can still distinguish between justice and personal feelings."

Jiang Feng did not give in at all and said, "The county lady is so sure, as if the queen has committed some serious crime. It's just that the princess did not attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet! His Majesty did not punish the queen, and even brought the queen back to Chang'an from Luoyang. I don't understand why the county lady is so eager to prove the queen's crime. This is one of the reasons."

Jiang Feng looked at Ji An firmly and continued, "Secondly, if the county lady feels that the queen's behavior is inappropriate, she should advise her in person. Jiang Feng really cannot agree with disparaging the queen behind her back."

The Princess of Ji'an sneered, "Oh? You are so devoted to your great-aunt. No wonder she is willing to make so many plans for you."

Jiang Feng probably guessed that Ji An was still bothered by the fact that Princess Taiping wanted to marry her to Shen Guxing as his concubine.

Then he said, "Your Highness may have made many plans for me, but when you saw the county lady's condition during the autumn hunt, you never had any other ideas."

Ji'an had a miscarriage, and the first thing Princess Taiping said to Jiang Feng was to ask her to give up thinking about Shen Guxing.

The love a mother has for her child is evident from this.

The Princess of Ji'an smiled strangely and said, "But I heard that the man who killed my great-aunt on Mount Zhongnan was friends with you."

Shen Guxing is such a big mouth! He even told Ji An this.

Yes, they are husband and wife after all, so they should be honest with each other.

She calmed down and said, "Master Shen once asked me to identify a portrait of a woman, saying that it was related to the ambush in Zhongnan Mountain. I do know that woman. She was the maid of the granddaughter of Nanyang King Yuan Shu. Are you sure it was her who did it? Has the Dali Temple obtained evidence? But I was thinking, if it was really her, she is just an orphan. If she didn't have other forces to back her up, how could she dare to assassinate the Princess Taiping? Why did she assassinate the princess?"

Ji An raised his eyebrows and said, "You and Uncle Wu arrested her in Luoyang, didn't you get any results from her?"

Jiang Feng was shocked, but his face remained unchanged as he said, "The county lady is well-informed. Although the prince arrested her, her accomplices were too cunning and rescued her."

The Princess of Ji'an County sneered, "I don't know if it was Uncle Wu's carelessness or someone was playing tricks."

Jiang Feng didn't know whether Ji An only knew about Ming Que's affairs or also knew about Yuan Ying's affairs. She had to be extremely careful. She approached Ji An, looked at her face, and said, "That woman was very cunning. When we caught her, she started to bite before she could do anything. Guess who she said was the one who ordered her to do that?"

The Princess of Ji'an's face was indeed a little nervous, but she quickly concealed it and said calmly, "How should I know?"

Jiang Feng was still staring at her, and he could hear every word clearly: "She actually accused His Royal Highness Prince Ning, saying that His Royal Highness was dissatisfied with the fact that the Crown Prince was appointed as the Crown Prince because he was neither the eldest nor the heir, so she deliberately provoked a dispute between the Crown Prince and Princess Taiping in order to reap the benefits."

Jian paused, his expression flustered.

But in the panic, Jiang Feng still caught a glimpse of subtle luck.

The Princess of Ji'an pretended to be shocked and shouted, "How can this be! Such a lowly slave should have her tongue pulled out!"

Jiang Feng thought of Ming Que biting off his tongue in front of him. It was unclear whether Ji An's words were a coincidence or if she had already known about it.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "So, Prince Xue didn't believe her at all. How could the friendship between the prince and his brothers be easily torn apart? Since the prince knew that it was not Prince Ning who was behind this, the real culprit must be someone else. It's a pity that she escaped, otherwise, the mastermind would have been caught by us by now."

Ji An smiled, but that smile was a little forced. She said, "That's good. I originally thought that you were familiar with that person. If my great-aunt knew about it, she might suspect that you had ulterior motives in approaching her."

Ji An's implication was that she might find some time to discuss with Princess Taiping whether Jiang Feng would direct and act in the drama of saving her.

Looking at the gentle and beautiful smile of Princess Ji'an, Jiang Feng thought of an object: a shit stirrer!

She seemed to be trying her best to make things worse, and she wanted everyone to be stained with stink.

But during the process of the two of them testing each other, Jiang Feng vaguely grasped a clue. The clue was like a light in the fog. Although she could not confirm the light source, she had already discovered another direction.

A direction that has always been ignored by her, Shen Guxing and Li Longye.
