The night breeze is slightly cool.

Jiang Yanchuan stood in the courtyard that had returned to peace. He raised his eyes and looked quietly at the deep night sky in the distance, his eyes twinkling with the stars.

After a while, a faint sigh sounded in the yard. It was not clear, but it sounded a bit like the sound of the wind blowing around.

Guan Zhili's face still has some resemblance to Jiang Silin.

Especially when half of his face disappeared into the dark night, the edges and corners that were very similar to Jiang Silin's appeared.

Looking at that face for a long time would make him unconsciously recall the scenes when they were just a group of half-grown children.

Jiang Silin used to like sticking to him, just like the little guy now. Wherever he went, there would be a little stumbling figure behind him.

That already vague memory has become vivid again recently, and he inevitably felt a little sad.

"Squeak-"

The sound of a wooden door opening and closing suddenly sounded behind him. Jiang Yanchuan calmed himself down, turned around, and looked at the woman standing by the door with red eyes crying.

Qiu Suxin wiped her tears, leaned forward and was about to kneel: "I am Qiu Suxin——"

Jiang Yanchuan raised his hand to stop the rest of the words.

Qiu Suxin paused for a moment, but still completed the kneeling ceremony with perseverance.

Jiang Yanchuan turned around and said, "Get up."

Seeing that the other party was reluctant to get up and looked at him with red eyes, hesitant to speak, Jiang Yanchuan sighed softly and said, "I know about the matter between you and Jiang Silin."

Qiu Suxin's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she raised her head and looked over with a dull expression.

Jiang Yanchuan's eyes swept across the woman whose eyes were red from crying, and looked at the half-shadow that fell on the ground through the crack in the door. The corners of his lips slowly raised up a not-so-obvious arc.

"Back then, you noticed that Jiang Silin had evil intentions, but because you were pregnant, you had no choice but to submit a letter of accusation to a respected minister in the capital and go to Beiming alone, intending to avoid being hunted down by the other party."

It's just that Pan Jifeng had already boarded the pirate ship of those two people, and she didn't know him well, which led to the current situation.

"It's not like you haven't tried hard for this, so don't blame yourself."

Jiang Yanchuan's pleasant voice echoed in the night wind, making Qiu Suxin's nose ache for no reason.

Even if she talked for three days and three nights about the torment she had endured during those years of hiding from place to place while searching for Zhili's whereabouts, it would probably be impossible to describe it. Qiu Suxin thought that she would have to live in such regret and self-blame for the rest of her life, but she did not expect that she would hear such words from the mouth of Emperor Mingze.

Qiu Suxin's head was resting on the cold, hard ground in the yard, and whimpering sounds kept coming from her throat.

"Thank you... Thank you, Your Majesty—"

……

The follow-up impact of the treason crisis kept Jiang Yanchuan busy for two months.

Exile, execution, confiscation of property...all kinds of drastic measures were used simultaneously. The court was in a state of panic and blood flowed like a river.

When all matters were handled in an orderly manner, Kan Ruifeng happened to bring his soldiers back to Beijing.

All the topographic maps drawn by the little guy before have become visible and tangible treasures. Although they cannot directly attribute the credit to the little guy, fortunately...

Jiang Yingcheng sat on his own chair in Chongyun Palace, swinging his short legs with great joy.

She reached out for a small dessert on the table, put it in her mouth and took a big bite. Several pieces of pastry crumbs hung on the corners of her mouth.

[Hehehe~ Grandpa Kan is so awesome~ Da Rui’s soldiers are also so awesome~~]

Not only did they successfully find the locations of the mineral deposits, but they also assigned people to guard them properly!

Kan Ruifeng stood at the forefront of all the officials with his head held high, listening to the sound of people gasping for air behind him, which was similar to the sound he made last year. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes turned into lines of pride.

After the great purge caused by the Prince Xin incident, a lot of fresh blood was added to the court. The Ministry of Personnel was so busy that the little guy was not idle either.

She spent the whole day checking the information of the new court officials. If she encountered any major problems, she would go to her elder brother Yuan to "play" with them for a day. If she encountered any that were not so-so, she would just make a mark in her little notebook and leave them for future observation.

As for those whose character has been verified by "Brother Tong"...

They are the ones who exclaimed today.

At this moment, Emperor Mingze on the golden platform turned his head slightly and gave a look to Eunuch Changshun behind him. Eunuch Changshun then took a few steps forward, spread out the imperial edict in his hand, and read out the rewards recorded on it word by word in a shrill voice.

Kan Ruifeng quickly brought back his thoughts that had drifted away to who knows where, and knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Your Highness, I, Kan Ruifeng, bow down to thank you for your grace—"

The sonorous and powerful voices of the generals behind him also rang out.

Along with a childish voice full of surprise -

[Eh?! Is that so?!]

[Ahahahahahahaha, there is actually such a thing?! ]

The little girl has transformed from the original Princess Mingxi to the current Princess Mingcheng. Her identity seems to have changed drastically, but in fact... there is no change at all.

What has also not changed is the psychological pressure that this "cheerful" laughter brings to them.

[The uncles were fighting outside, they probably didn’t know that something like this was happening at home!!]

As soon as the word "Uncle" came out, Kan Ruifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

As long as he is not the protagonist of this big melon, he can still eat the melon happily.

He totally ignored the lives of the people behind him.

The people behind Kan Ruifeng opened their eyes wide in horror and their hearts were beating fast.

Several people who had not experienced this feeling for a long time were instantly pulled back to the past when they were dominated by this voice.

The memories of past "social death" surged fiercely into their minds, and they looked at each other, their eyes were full of glare -

"Got to stop her"!

Although they were also curious about whose family had such an "amazing" event happen to the little guy, but...

Everyone reached a consensus almost at the same time.

They could inquire about the matter privately after the court was dismissed, but they must not be "publicly executed" on such an occasion!

Have some shame!!

「Wow, actually──」

“Your Majesty!!”

A shrill howl suddenly sounded in the hall. Jiang Yingcheng, who was concentrating on eating watermelon, was startled and looked down blankly.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…” Lei Zhixin finished yelling, but he didn’t know how to continue. He stumbled over the word “Your Majesty” for a long while, and glanced at his colleagues who were avoiding him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Your Majesty, I think this is the duty of the soldiers of Da Rui—”

"The rewards from our ministers," Lei Zhixin's heart was filled with tears, "why not Your Majesty leave them for the reconstruction of Zhuoping County and other places..."

"Oh?"

A pleasant male voice came from the golden platform, with a faint smile: "My dear, your words are deeply in my heart."

Lei Zhixin closed his eyes.

My life is pretty clear.

……

After the morning court session, the first snow of the year fell in the capital.

When the first snowflake fell on her face, Jiang Yingcheng was being led by her handsome father towards Wuyang Palace.

The cold touch interrupted the sound of her humming a little tune. She raised her head, looked at the snowflakes floating down in the air, and reached out to catch them.

One of the pieces of snow fell on the half of her arm that was exposed in the air, and it felt icy cold.

The snowflake successfully brought Jiang Yingcheng's thoughts back to the day when everything just started, and he couldn't help but smile with his eyes narrowed.

[Brother Tong, look——]

[Chengcheng is a princess! ! ]
