259 Here Again

Jiang Ying was Ning Yue’s fiancé, and An Ning was Ning Yue’s grandmother. It was more suitable for him to go.

At the thought of this, the emperor was very glad that he had dealt with Consort Xian just now. Even a little less would make Ning Yue unhappy.

As long as Ning Yue was unhappy and considering Yuan Hui’s personality, he might fall out with him. The two countries might become enemies.

This way, it would be difficult for him to investigate the matter of Black City Kingdom.

Although he could use another method to ask An Ning, this effect was far inferior to Jiang Ying asking personally.

“Emperor, you’re not young anymore. Why are you acting more and more like a child? The Crown Prince and Jiang Ying have a good relationship. There are some things that you can let the Crown Prince do,” the Empress Dowager said.

The emperor almost bit his tongue off. The empress dowager actually said that he did things like a child. Was there a mistake? He was the current emperor.

When the emperor said nothing, the empress dowager continued, “I don’t mean to accuse you. These are all government affairs, so I won’t interfere. I’m just giving you a suggestion. Alright, I’m tired too. Go back. I’m going to rest.”

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager looked tired. Seeing this, the Emperor could only leave.

He returned to the imperial study and called the crown prince over. He told him what he had just discussed with the empress dowager.

The crown prince looked at the emperor in surprise and asked, “Father, do you want me to tell Jiang Ying about this?”

“You’re right. I want you to call Jiang Ying to the General’s Residence and ask Ning Yue’s grandmother if she has any impression of Consort Chen’s cousin,” the emperor said.

Consort Chen’s mother was from the Black City Kingdom. Her mother might have died at the Marquis of An’s Residence, but Consort Chen’s cousin might be alive.

He remembered that his cousin had been sent to the Black City Kingdom when she was very young. She had always grown up in the Black City Kingdom and had never returned to Great Yun, so this person should not be dead yet.

However, this made things difficult for the emperor again. The Marquis of An’s Residence was already gone. Would she still be in contact with this place?

Obviously, the crown prince had also thought of this, but he did not say it. “Father, I’ll write a letter now. Jiang Ying has already returned, so it’s not good to summon him to the palace.”

The emperor nodded. “You’ll be in charge of this. Alright, I’m going to rest. By the way, spend more time with the Empress for the next few days.”

With that, the emperor left the imperial study, leaving the confused crown prince standing there.

What did his father say just now? Did something happen to his mother?

At the thought of this, the crown prince hurriedly wrote the letter to Jiang Ying and rushed to the empress. Unexpectedly, he saw the empress and the crown prince consort chatting and laughing.

“Mother, are you alright?” the crown prince asked nervously.

The empress looked at the crown prince in confusion. “What can happen to me?”

“It’s good that you’re fine. Just now, Father asked me to come and accompany you when I had nothing to do these few days. I thought something had happened to you,” the crown prince said in fear.

Hearing this, the Empress smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Your father asked you to spend more time with me to clear the obstacles to your ascension in a short period of time.”

The Crown Prince’s eyes widened. Although his father had asked him to take charge of the court these days, there were some important matters that he did not dare to decide. He had to look for his father to decide.

The feeling of having full authority was different from ascending the throne. Did his father really want him to ascend the throne and become the emperor?

A wave of great joy overwhelmed the crown prince. He had prepared for so many years just for this day.

He could finally let go of himself and soar in the world.

“Alright, you don’t have to worry too much. Come to my place more often these days. Crown Princess Consort, you too. You have to learn from me to deal with the harem,” the empress instructed.

“Thank you, Mother. I’ll definitely work hard to learn from you,” the crown prince consort said respectfully.

The two of them had lunch in the empress’s palace. After eating, they chatted with the empress for a while before leaving.

The empress was very gratified to have such a powerful son.

Actually, by the time they finished eating, the letter the crown prince had written to Jiang Ying had already arrived.

Jiang Ying opened it and took a look. It said that he should ask An Ning about Consort Chen’s cousin.

He sighed. It was not impossible for him to talk to her, but he had to go through Ning Yue.

Seeing Jiang Ying’s frown, Ning Yue asked him, “What’s wrong? What problem did the crown prince encounter again? Is he short of money?”
