Chapter 373 (1/2)

Shan Ning insists that it's OK. After drinking a cup of hot tea and comforting the imperial concubine, she goes to see her son again. Then she drags a heavy step back to rest.

The next morning, Prime Minister Jiang sent someone to send him a letter of worship, inviting his restaurant to a banquet, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Shan Ning accepted the post and asked people to reply that he would go to the banquet on time.

When it comes to this matter, it is impossible for Prime Minister Jiang to be unaware of such a big stir. There are only two reasons for looking for him now, one is warning, the other is cooperation.

For so many years, he has been carrying such names as ”wolf ambition” and ”treacherous and sycophantic”. Now many people regard him as an anti thief who always wants to usurp power. Therefore, for Prime Minister Jiang, the only way to save himself is to drag him into the water.

The lunch was very sumptuous. He was the only one in the room. He gave Prime Minister Jiang a bow with a smile. ”Prime minister, you are so elegant. How can you remember to invite me to dinner today?”

Prime Minister Jiang said with a smile, ”by chance, I learned from the dog that when I fell into the water when I was a child, I had to be rescued by my highness. Although it has been so many years, I have to repay the kindness of saving my life.”

”That's not necessary. Jiang Shi has already paid back.”

Prime Minister Jiang poured wine for him in person, laughed and talked to him politely for a long time. Finally, he talked about Jiang Fan's case, ”I don't know how your highness recently turned out the old case to investigate. At that time, several officials in charge of the case were also subordinates of the minister. I was still puzzled when I heard the news a few days ago, but I think about it carefully, but there is something else in this case?”

Shan Ning put down the cup, rubbed his thumb at the mouth of the cup, and his smile gradually solidified in the corner of his mouth. ”Prime minister, now that we're talking about this, you and I don't have to beat around the bush. Jiang Fan, a little magistrate, doesn't have the courage to do such a thing. He's just a ghost, but who pushed him out...”

He looked at the prime minister and didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was very clear.

Shan Ning admits that he has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. As the chief inspector, it is his fault that he did not find out the truth. Although it is too late to reverse the case now, the truth must be revealed to the world.

Prime Minister Jiang pursed his lips and was silent. After a while, he asked him, ”is your highness willing? Willing to make a match for his fifth highness, willing to go on like this all his life? You are the eldest son of the emperor. You should have been granted the crown prince. The throne should have been yours. Your fifth Highness has the ability, but it's too easy to be sentimental. Because a woman has done so many ridiculous things that she could have taken the opportunity to take over the state of Zhao. But how does her fifth highness do it? The ducks in the mouth have been released, and they even have to support Wang Guorui to ascend the throne. If they are handed over to such people, sooner or later they will die! ”

Shan Ning raised a corner of his mouth. ”So what the prime minister means is to fight back?”

”No, I just want to help your highness get back everything that should belong to him.”
