Chapter 291 I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until the day when my father knows
That night, dusk fell.
At the side door of Prince Jin's Mansion, a servant ran quickly to Lingyunxuan where Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao were. When Jiang Jin agreed to let him enter Lingyunxuan, there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Qi is at the side door."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin paused holding her son's hand, a hint of doubt appeared on her face, and then disappeared.
"Welcome him to the study."
Upon hearing this, the servant withdrew and ran to welcome Jiang Qi into the mansion.
"Prince Qi? What is he doing here?"
Mu Jiaojiao was studying beauty recipes. Lately, she felt that her facial skin was not as hydrated as before. She asked about this after the servant left.
Mainly in Mu Jiaojiao's opinion, the relationship between Prince Jin's Mansion and Jiang Qi was not very close. When Mu Jiaojiao knew that Jiang Qi was a person who was good at creating a reputation, she even clicked her tongue twice.
"Coming here so late and being so sneaky, it must be something bad."
"Don't you think so, Yan'er?"
After Jiang Jin expressed his opinion, he reached out and pinched the cheek of his little son in his arms with a kind tone. From Mu Jiaojiao's perspective, he was really a gentle, handsome and handsome father.
"Giggle..."
But the little kid in his arms seemed to understand and started giggling, which made Jiang Jin stunned.
"Ma'am, would you like to go to the study together?"
After Jiang Jin finished teasing the child, he couldn't bear to let go of his chubby, soft, white son in his arms. He made a suggestion to Mu Jiaojiao, who felt that he was doting on his son too much, with a sinister calculation on his face.
Seeing him like this, Mu Jiaojiao naturally understood that this man was probably thinking of how to take advantage of the opportunity to trick Jiang Qi again, and her interest instantly piqued.
Then the couple carried their child in their arms and leisurely went to the study. When they entered the study, Li Huan was waiting beside them, instructing the maid to serve tea to Jiang Qi.
"Sixth brother, Sixth sister-in-law, I'm really sorry to bother you so late!"
Jiang Qi looked at Jiang Jin and his wife who came together. Jiang Jin was sitting in a wheelchair, holding the little prince who was just one month old in his arms. There was a meaningful glint in his eyes and his tone was full of insincere apology.
"Fourth brother is in a serious condition."
Jiang Jin replied indifferently upon hearing this, and his words were also nonchalant. It was obvious that he heard the hidden meaning in Jiang Qi's words.
"Since my nephew was born, I, as his uncle, have never given him a gift. This is a small gift. I hope Sixth Brother and his wife will not despise it."
Jiang Qi was not annoyed when he saw this. Instead, he picked up a box beside him, opened it, and then handed it to Mu Jiaojiao.
Mu Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and saw a longevity lock and a pair of silver bracelets, which were engraved with auspicious cloud patterns and were delicately crafted. This gift was not expensive for the royal prince, but it was thoughtful.
Mu Jiaojiao took the box from Jiang Qi's hand gracefully, then smiled politely and thanked Jiang Qi, "I will accept the gift on behalf of Yan'er. Fourth brother is so thoughtful."
Jiang Qi looked at Mu Jiaojiao's generous and elegant demeanor, his face expressionless, and exchanged a few polite words.
Jiang Jin, on the other hand, had no expression on his face. He just watched Jiang Qi slowly teasing his little son in his arms.
"My nephew looks exactly like my sixth brother. I'm afraid he'll be a young general who gallops across the battlefield like my sixth brother and has a great reputation in the future."
Jiang Jin looked at Jiang Qi and saw that he had been chatting with him since he came in. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. His face was calm, and there was a bit of regret in his tone.
"That's all in the past. Why do you have to make fun of me, a useless person now?"
As Jiang Jin spoke the last part, his tone was still a little depressed, as if he was really sad about his disability.
When Jiang Qi heard this, his eyes flashed, and his gaze swept over Jiang Jin's legs intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile still on his face.
"Ha ha……"
"What are you talking about, Sixth Brother? Fourth Brother believes that it will be just a matter of time before Sixth Brother returns to the battlefield and regains his former glory."
Hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin's hearts skipped a beat at the same time. Prince Qi might have come with bad intentions today!
Mu Jiaojiao raised her hand at the right time to wave away the servants, and bent down to take Manman, who was happily blowing bubbles, from Jiang Jin's arms. Manman felt the warm and fragrant embrace of her mother, and made a happy sound.
"Yeah~"
Jiang Jin glanced at his naughty son, straightened his clothes which were a little wrinkled from holding the baby, and then looked at Jiang Qi without any panic, but spoke directly to the point.
"Fourth brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Jiang Qi looked at Jiang Jin and his wife, who remained calm despite his almost clear words, and felt even more apprehensive.
"Sixth brother, let's be frank. Fourth brother has found out that your leg has healed a long time ago, but now you are still confined to a wheelchair. It must be hard for you to hide this from the entire court!"
Jiang Qi didn't want to beat around the bush with Jiang Jin anymore, so he laid the matter out in the open. "I'm afraid that when our father finds out about what Sixth Brother has done, he'll be very disappointed."
After hearing what he said so clearly, Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin thought to themselves, "As expected." They just wondered how Jiang Qi knew that Jiang Jin's legs were fine. Could it be that he had tracked down Jiang Jin's whereabouts and then went to Cangzhou to investigate?
Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao exchanged a vague glance, and then nodded as if they understood each other. Didn't Jiang Qi want to threaten them with Xuan Hedi?
Then he might as well just overturn the table!
"Fourth brother may not live to see the day when the emperor finds out!"
Jiang Jin's words were incoherent, but Jiang Qi felt a hint of chill. He put his hand into his sleeve and immediately became alert, asking with sharp eyes.
"Sixth brother, what do you mean by this?"
"Ha ha……"
Jiang Jin looked at his little movements, the corners of his mouth curled up, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and a flash of disdain flashed through his heart.
"Don't be nervous, Fourth Brother. Huaizhi is a man of etiquette and won't do anything to you!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi thought for a moment and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this was in Prince Jin's Mansion. If anything really happened to him, he, Jiang Jin, would not be able to escape responsibility.
Before he could completely relax, he heard Jiang Jin say something that caught him even more off guard.
"What I mean is that my father has been poisoned by the 'Spiritual Gu' and has become a puppet of the Concubine Xian. He may have no future..."
Jiang Jin's voice was calm, as if he was discussing with Jiang Qi how beautiful the moonlight was tonight, but it shocked Jiang Qi.
"Sixth brother, are you serious? You said that our father has been poisoned?"
"Sixth brother, you should know that you can't talk nonsense about this matter!"
Jiang Qi couldn't maintain his confident look for a moment. He originally wanted to threaten Jiang Jin tonight with the fact that Jiang Jin's legs had healed in order to help him break the predicament, but he didn't expect to get such great news.
