Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Chu Xuanchen patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Wang understands Daren's pain. Wang also understands Daren's concerns. But Daren, are you going to just let it go when your child died tragically? "
Jiang Ning said with a pained expression, "He is the Emperor, what can this official do? For the Jiang family, for Muyu, I can only let it go. "
"Have you never thought of avenging your son? Do you think that if you rely on him, he will let you go? You are too naive! Do you know that he has been ordering people to catch the previous Emperor's old officials? He is naturally suspicious and is afraid that the old officials will be disloyal to him, so he wants to get rid of them one by one. That year, you questioned him in the main hall whether or not he killed my parents. Do you really think he will let you go? "
At this point, Chu Xuanchen continued, "What kind of person is Chu Yao? Wang knows better than you that he is cruel and holds grudges. He even dared to kill his own brother, what more you? A good bird chooses a tree to nest in, a good official chooses a person to work for, a wise person chooses a good friend, a phoenix chooses a parasol tree. It is true that you want to save your life, but you also need to see if the person you rely on is a good person. Don't wait until he brandishes his sword at you before you regret it! "
How could Jiang Ning not understand this logic?
But he was afraid that Chu Xuanchen would not be able to defeat Hongyuan Emperor, so he could only be timid and seek survival in the cracks.
He said, "Prince is gifted and is a rare genius. You are also loyal to the country and the people. This official really admires you. But Prince, this official has long not dared to ask about the affairs of the imperial court. I do not dare to cause any more trouble. Please forgive this official for his apologies! "
He helplessly rejected Chu Xuanchen.
Chu Xuanchen knew that he had misgivings, so he did not insist. He said, "Daren is a talent in governing the country. Wang has always cherished talents. It is fine if Daren does not agree today. Wang will come to visit you again! "
As he spoke, he walked out of the room.
"This official respectfully sends Prince off." Jiang Ning hurriedly bowed to send him off.

After leaving the Jiang Mansion, Yun Ruoyue saw Chu Xuanchen's serious expression and asked him, "Did Jiang Ning refuse?"
Chu Xuanchen reached out and patted her head. "It's okay. He has no one to rely on and is in a difficult situation. Wait for Hongyuan Emperor to force him a little more, sooner or later he will lean towards Wang. "
Yun Ruoyue nodded. "Yes, I can also see that this Lord Jiang is not easy to win over. He is not greedy for official positions, nor is he greedy for money or beauties. Such a person can only be moved by kindness and righteousness. "
"But Wang doesn't owe him anything," Chu Xuanchen said.
Even if there was, it was because of the friendship between his father and Jiangning. It had nothing to do with him.
After so many years, it had probably faded long ago.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have any gratitude. As long as His Highness is sincere, I believe you will be able to move him." Yun Ruoyue said.
Chu Xuanchen nodded. "Yes, Wang won't give up."

Two days later, Chu Xuanchen once again prepared a generous gift and brought Yun Ruoyue to the Jiang Mansion.
This time, Jiang Ning was quick to meet him, but he still politely rejected him.
Knowing that Chu Xuanchen and Jiang Ning were talking in the study, Yun Ruoyue continued to stroll around the Jiang Mansion's courtyard with Fung and the others.
Needless to say, the Jiang Mansion's courtyard was beautiful and quiet. It was a place to calm the mind.
As they were admiring the flowers in the courtyard, Yun Ruoyue suddenly heard a violent cough.
She heard that the sound came from the room opposite her. She curiously walked over and saw that the door to the room was wide open.
She saw a thin and frail old woman lying on the bed. There was also a maidservant guarding the bed and feeding the old woman medicine.
