"Your Majesty, I know that my father's crime is extremely evil and I am not willing to die. However, now, he is the only relative of Jiang Jiachen."

Concubine Jiang knelt in front of His Majesty, lowered her noble head, and felt sad.

In her life, she rarely asked for anything with the Majesty in front of her.

When she was sent to the royal family, Concubine Jiang silently accepted her fate, because in her opinion, since she was born in the Jiang family, she should work hard for the honor and disgrace of the Jiang family in this life.

She is not a man, so she can't enter the court to gain fame and fortune for the Jiang family.

She is not a man, so she cannot enter the border to fight and win military merits for the Jiang family.

Because the only thing she could do for the Jiang family was to marry into the royal family, only when she entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine, so that their Jiang family would rise up in this Kyoto City.

Because ordinary people never dare to oppose royal relatives.

In order to protect the Jiang family's favor, Concubine Jiang has been in the harem for many years and has not dared to do anything beyond her means.

She knew that every move would eventually affect the Jiang family's status in the capital.

But today her father was asked to beheaded. From now on, there will be no Jiang family in this capital.

If she could not protect her father's corpse at such a moment, why would she live in the harem with fear in her life?

Concubine Jiang was unwilling to compromise in this harem again.

I was unwilling to continue to swallow my anger.

In the end, she would come to His Majesty without hesitation regardless of her son Su Chen'an's advice and obstacles.

"Concubine Jiang, it's impossible for me to let your father go for you. You have to understand this."

His Majesty spoke coldly.

"I understand, Your Majesty, I did not ask Your Majesty to let my father go. I also know that now all people in Kyoto want my father to die. I come here and beg you, not to let you let him go, I just want Your Majesty to allow me to collect the body for my father."

Concubine Jiang once saw with her own eyes how His Majesty pampered a woman, so she clearly realized that she could not shake His Majesty's decision at all and could not save her father.

No one needed to remind anyone about this matter, and Concubine Jiang knew it from the very beginning.

"Concubine Jiang, don't blame Gu. You know that although Gu is the emperor, the people sitting in this seat have never been able to control themselves."

I can't help myself.

When Concubine Jiang heard these words, she felt extremely ridiculous.

She didn't expect that the Majesty, who was in charge of all life and death, would say such words in front of her.

"Your Majesty, I don't blame you. I wonder if your Majesty can allow me to retrieve my father's body and bury it."

Concubine Jiang no longer has the extra energy to blame His Majesty today.

She had no expectation for His Majesty.

Concubine Jiang has been struggling in this harem for so many years. Perhaps when she first entered the royal family, she still had expectations for His Majesty and everyone.

But over the years, all expectations turned into bubbles.

"Okay, I'm sure you'll be able to make this request. However, because your father is imprisoned and dies for a lifetime, even if you take back your father's corpse, you can't be buried in a grand manner."

On the surface, His Majesty is indeed much more kind to her.

But in fact, Your Majesty is still weighing the pros and cons.

In the eyes of His Majesty, all people are chess pieces that can be used, so the life and death of a chess piece cannot arouse any turmoil in His Majesty's eyes.

"Yes, I obey the order, thank you Your Majesty."

Concubine Jiang put away her hatred, then clenched her fists and thanked her for being grateful.

After noon, Jiang Kuo asked in the streets of Caishikou, the capital.

It was after dusk that the sky became dim and before Concubine Jiang took her maids from the palace out to collect the body of her father.

"Father……"

Concubine Jiang looked at her father's body.

He was lying alone on the ground, his body separated, and the blood stained the ground red.

And her father, who was from a famous family, was thrown away like a piece of rag.

"My daughter is here to take you home."

Concubine Jiang trembled and buried her father's body, and then took the pile of corpses back to the Jiang family while the night was falling.

"Father, it's useless for your daughter, and your daughter can't save your life!"

Even though she is now the noble Empress Jiang who is known to everyone, she still cannot save her father.

This is the most saddest thing.

"What are you doing?"

After Empress Jiang collected her father's body, she looked up and found that her son Su Chen'an was standing in front of the Jiang family, wearing plain clothes and mourning clothes.

"Shu Chen'an, look at this is the only person in the world who will fight for our mother and son. It will never exist!"

Concubine Jiang was in a panic.

She felt sad when she saw her father's body, but when she saw her son Su Chenan, she was left with hatred.

Because Concubine Jiang did not forget that her son Su Chenan stopped her not long ago and refused to let her collect the body for her father!

"Mother, you can beat or scold me, and my sons are willing to accept it, but today is my grandfather's death day. You ask me to kowtow to him before he can speak."

After Su Chenan knew that His Majesty had agreed to his mother's request, he realized that he had bet right.

Since this was the case, he no longer cared about it and came to the Jiang family with his servants.

"Mother, let us mother and son give our grandfather a good trip to this night."

Su Chen'an looked at his mother and said word by word.

This made Concubine Jiang feel very sad. The person she valued most in her life was her father. She has always been through today under the instructions of her father.

However, from now on, she will no one support her or protect her behind her, and all the remaining roads will depend on her to walk alone.

"Father……"

Concubine Jiang leaned in front of her father's mourning hall and cried bitterly.

The fifth prince, Su Chen, stood by his mother silently.

Jiang Kuo died.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The fifth prince and Concubine Jiang were very worried, but the prince's mansion and Lin Xiang's family were very happy.

Lin Xiang looked at the family he was found and held a banquet directly and invited everyone who had helped him.

"Today, thank you, Your Highness, Miss Xi, for your honor. If it weren't for Your Highness' rescue, the old minister would never have been there today."

Lin Xiang knew very well that the Lin family could be reunited this time, thanks to the prince Su Lixiao.

"Lin Xiang, don't be polite. This palace doesn't want our loyalty to be plotted against in the future."

Su Lixiao raised his glass to return.

Although Su Lixiao fought on the border for many years, he also knew that Lin Xiang in Kyoto was a person who was impartial for the people and for the sake of his family and country.

If such people cannot end up with a good end, those who want to be honest officials in the world will be heartbroken.

"No matter what, I will thank His Highness the Crown Prince."

Lin thanked Su Lixiao.

Then, he picked up another glass of wine beside him and toasted Xi Qingyan.

"I also want to thank the Lord of the Divine Doctor Valley. Thank you for using your medical skills to turn the tide and cure Your Highness the Prince. If it weren't for Miss Xi's superb medical skills, the fight between us and Jiang Kuo would only become more and more unpredictable."

Xi Qingyan didn't expect that Lin Xiang, the leader of all officials, would toast her, so she also raised her glass.

"I actually didn't do much. As for the reason why I was able to save the life of His Royal Highness the Prince, I also rely on the Tianling Grass of Jiling Villa."

Xi Qingyan didn't feel that her appearance had an irreplaceable role in the whole thing.

They can

Going to this point is the result of the joint efforts of everyone.

If they had lost any part of it, I believe that it would not have contributed to everything today.

"So, if Lin Xiangruo really wants to thank him, I would like to thank Bai Hang, the young owner of Jiling Villa. It was his generous gift that led to our current situation."

Xi Qingyan did not seek any credit and attributed all her achievements to others.

Bai Hang sat next to Xi Qingyan, with a lot of gentleness in his eyebrows and eyes.

Because of Xi Qingyan's words, Lin Xiang had a little more praise in his eyebrows. It was also a great blessing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find such a woman to be the Crown Princess.

"I raised my glass to thank the young owner of Jiling Villa, and thank you for your help to our Lin Mansion!"

Lin Xiang stood up and raised his glasses to all the guests in the hall.
