Jiang Yi fell silent for a moment and said, “Seventh Sister, I have to tell the truth. I really don’t know.”
Looking at Emperor Li Changgeng’s ascension history, he was definitely not a kind-hearted and soft-handed person.
He could be ruthless to his father, brother, and younger brother.
Would such a person be soft-handed to his betraying son?
If he was not soft-hearted towards his own son, would he spare the Wenren Family?
Wenren Zong’s fate seemed to be already sealed.
“Don’t torture yourself here. Your retinas are turning green.” Jiang Yi pushed her wheelchair, “Let me take you back. Whatever it is, sleep and regain your energy. You just need to believe that the sky won’t fall down on the Jiang Family.”
“Brother, would Prince of Huai retaliate against our family?”
“He wouldn’t dare. Unless he wants the same fate as the King of Chen.” Jiang Yi rarely sneered, “The King of Chen is a stupid fool with more courage than strategy. He even dared to send people to surround our house. He should have thought about it. If he really harmed us, would my uncle, who is far away in the northwest, let him go?”
Old Master Jiang Mubai, with heavy troops in his hand, was far away in the northwest. Not to mention the King of Chen, even the Emperor couldn’t easily command him.
Although the Great Sheng Dynasty was powerful, it also had enemies.
The Turkic Khanate in the northwest was the most powerful enemy of the Great Sheng Dynasty. From time to time, they would try to invade. Without Jiang Mubai leading the army to defend, Chang’an City would not have had these peaceful days.
As an emperor, Old Man Li was sober enough to know who he could touch and whom he couldn’t.
Though he loved Lin Zizi to the bone, he preferred to pamper a woman who looked like her rather than trying to snatch Jiang Ruobai. He also feared the Northwestern General, Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Ning said, “I’ve never met my uncle.”
“I haven’t seen him in two or three years either. However, when you were young, he really liked you, often holding you in his arms and taking you to play in the military camps.” Jiang Yi smiled, “Although my uncle has his daughter, the most beautiful girl in our family has always been you. You don’t even know how good you looked when you were little. Otherwise, would Wenren Zong’s mother have been nagging to set up a betrothal with us and remember it for so many years?”
“Really?” Jiang Ning thought about the scene – a solemn and iron-blooded general holding a delicate little girl – it was indeed interesting.
Jiang Yi smiled, “I heard from my father that in a few months, our uncle will be back in the capital. By then, you will see him. He has known that you returned and has been eager to see you.”
“If my uncle pleads, can he save the Wenren Zong’s family?”
“Uncle will not plead for the rebels.”
“I understand.”
The brother and sister whispered some idle talk and went back to rest separately.
Jiang Ning slept until dusk.
She didn’t eat breakfast or lunch.
Huang Ying worried about her and came in several times to wake her up to eat something. Jiang Ning woke up in a daze, saying she was not hungry, then turned over to continue sleeping.
Lin Zizi heard about it and called the doctor over to examine her.
After checking her pulse, the doctor said there was no serious problem, she was just tired and exhausted. It was nothing to sleep all day since she only went to sleep in the morning. If she did not wake up at night, they would discuss it further.
Jiang Ning was purely catching up on her sleep.
For her, what did sleeping a whole day matter? She could sleep for 24. hours straight.
However, after being so disturbed, she couldn’t sleep anymore.
She got up, bathed, changed clothes, and ate..
