Chapter 373 (2/2)

”Why help me?”

Prime Minister Jiang was silent for a while. Then he looked up and sighed. From the past, he said, ”the empress was kind to me. In the past, I was too humble to say anything in the court. Now that I'm prime minister, I can't watch your highness suffer this injustice.”

Shan Ning rubbed his eyebrows and said, ”the prime minister said it was all for me?”

Prime Minister Jiang opened his robe and knelt down on the ground. ”The heart of a minister, heaven and earth can learn from it. I hope your highness will find out!”

”Since it's for me, why do you keep all this from me?”

”If you are not careful, you will be doomed. I will pave the way for your highness. If you succeed, I will honor your highness. If you don't succeed, it's also my fault. It has nothing to do with your highness.”

Shan Ning stroked his chest, leaned back and sighed, ”have you ever considered the consequences when you do this? Treason is the crime of punishing the nine ethnic groups. What about Jiang Shi and Jiang Duo? They are your sons, and you want them to die with you? ”

Premier Jiang usually looks at people who can't speak loudly, but now he is also full of blood. ”Everything you do will be sacrificed. As long as your highness can succeed, this sacrifice doesn't matter.”

”It doesn't matter?” Shan Ning wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh. ”It doesn't matter to sacrifice her son. After hearing the prime minister say so, I began to wonder. How did the mother help the prime minister in those years to let the prime minister sacrifice her son to help me sit on the throne?”

However, Prime Minister Jiang was silent for a long time. At last, he didn't answer Shan Ning's question. ”At this time, I have to send it. What your highness can do is just to wait quietly. I will give it to you.”

Shan Ning didn't know what he was thinking. He coughed for a while. He picked up his glass and said, ”prime minister, since it's for me, it's really bad to be kept in the dark. You've tied me to you quietly. You always have to give me time to prepare.”

Prime Minister Jiang's eyes brightened and he looked at Shan Ning in surprise. ”Your Highness...”

”If I think about it carefully, it seems that I have no choice. I have come to this stage and have to go ahead with a stiff head.” He went over and patted Prime Minister Jiang on the shoulder. ”It's hard work, Prime Minister.”

Prime Minister Jiang, as if greatly inspired by the general, busy way, ”for your highness, I do anything at all!”

”Go back first. I want to be alone.” Prime Minister Jiang retreated contentedly. After he left, Shan Ning sat there drinking muggy wine and said softly to the door, ”come in.” The door opened with a squeak, and the guard stood Jiang Shi, pale as if he had lost his soul. He clenched his fists tightly. Although he could not see the expression on his face clearly, he was shocked and unbelievable“ You've been following me since I left the house. You're not bad at Kung Fu. Have you heard what I just said to your father? ” Jiang Shi came in, closed the door, picked up the wine pot and poured it into his mouth. After two mouthfuls, he blushed. ”What you just said... Is it true or false?”“ What do you think? ” Shan Ning snatches the wine pot from Jiang Shi's hand, coughs twice again, turns his back to Jiang Shi, takes out his handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth, and after wiping it, folds it twice and tucks it into his sleeve. Jiang Shi shook his head, ”I don't know.” Shan Ning made a sad expression and raised the corner of his mouth to smile bitterly. ”So you don't believe me? Do you think I'll fight with your father? ”“ I... ”He is in a mess now. His father, who has always respected and prided himself, is actually an anti thief. He has been secretly discussing treason behind everyone's back. Even for the sake of treason, he even says that he should have sacrificed his son without any guilt. Jiang Shi felt that the sky above his head collapsed.
