Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage Chapter 257 – This is a Trap

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: This is a Trap

No one expected that the Prince of Yu would suddenly arrive with people to break the siege.

The family gathered together, surviving the catastrophe, some overwhelmed with joy, some crying, but all grateful to the Prince of Yu without exception.

Although the Jiang Family had forced the Emperor to issue a decree for the Prince of Yu to divorce, he had never held any resentment. This time, he rushed over to rescue and break the siege.

Who says he is cold and selfish?

Just as everyone was sighing, a servant informed them that the Old Master and the Third Master were back.

“They’re back?” Lin Zizi and Madam stood up with joy.

The aunts and the girls in the room were also delighted.

Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Yi walked in, one after the other, with big steps.

The family members met with tears of joy.

“Is everything at home alright?” Jiang Ruobai looked at the old and young in the family and asked.

!!..

“Everything’s fine, everyone’s safe.” Madam wiped away her tears, “Thankfully, the Old Madame went to the south for a visit last month and hasn’t returned yet. Otherwise, she would have been frightened.”

Jiang Ruobai looked at Lin Zizi.

Lin Zizi’s eyes were slightly red, “Old Master and Third Master, have you been frightened in the palace?”

“We’re all right, but…” Jiang Ruobai furrowed his brow, “This palace coup is not so simple. For now, there’s no problem. You all go back to your rooms and rest.”

The main room’s ladies and children went back to their rooms, and the two aunts here also took their daughters back to their own rooms.

Jiang Ruobai went to see the boy and girl twins, and after confirming they were safe and sound, he returned to the main room, took the tea but didn’t drink it, and let out a heavy sigh with a worried look.

Lin Zizi softly asked, “Old Master, what’s wrong? Haven’t all the problems been solved? Has King of Chen been captured? Is His Majesty… alright?”

“His Majesty is unharmed.”

“What do you mean unharmed? His Majesty was never in danger.” Jiang Yi added.

Lin Zizi was surprised, “What do you mean? If His Majesty is unharmed, how could he let King of Chen attempt such an act?”

No wonder the Prince of Yu said things were complicated before leaving.

Jiang Ning, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, “It’s a trap.”

Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Yi looked at her at the same time.

“As it turns out, our Seventh Sister is the smartest.”

“Could it be that His Majesty deliberately did this in order to lure out the rebellious Prince?” Lin Zizi was horrified.

Jiang Ruobai nodded, “Although it’s not entirely accurate, it’s more or less that. The fact is, there have been early signs of the King of Chen’s rebellion. The talk about naming a Crown Prince after the end of this year is nothing more than a bait to speed up the King of Chen’s rebellion. As the Emperor grows older, he only wants to resolve the hidden dangers as soon as possible.”

Jiang Ning asked, “Has the Emperor already decided on the Crown Prince candidate?”

Jiang Ruobai glanced at his daughter, his eyes somewhat meaningful.

Jiang Ning felt an ominous unease in her heart, afraid to think further.

Jiang Yi sighed, “His Majesty is so cunning. The Prince of Huai was imprisoned, and the Prince of Yu injured. This emboldened the King of Chen to believe he had already won. According to the Emperor’s intentions, he could not only resolve the crisis with the King of Chen but also see who truly deserves to be the Crown Prince.”

“Who?” Lin Zizi asked.

Jiang Ning said, “Naturally, the Prince of Huai.”

“How did you know?” Lin Zizi was puzzled.

Jiang Ning didn’t answer, but asked Jiang Ruobai, “Father, if I haven’t guessed wrong, it was the Prince of Huai who led the soldiers to break the siege, repel the King of Chen, and save the Emperor, right?”

“It seems you have understood everything,” Jiang Ruobai said with a bitter smile, “No one expected that the Prince of Yu would make such a choice.” “What choice? I don’t understand what you’re talking about..” Lin Zizi frowned, “Old Master, what the hell is going on? Why was it the Prince of Huai who saved the Emperor?”
