Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

He took the initiative to introduce the situation here to Yan Chu.

Yan Chu was also observing quietly, and the facts were just as he said.

"The princess is well versed in marching and fighting, so there shouldn't be any problem with arranging sentries. In addition, the royal brother-in-law has also brought first-class warriors from outside the Great Wall. They are all very skilled, so I believe the assassin won't dare to barge in at will."

Yan Chu nodded, giving a very pertinent comment.

Hanshan raised his head slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Our warriors outside the Great Wall are indeed not bad, but the Princess of Qin is so brave and capable that I am impressed. The King of Qin is so lucky to have such a princess to help him. I believe his future is limitless."

Yan Chu smiled lightly and did not refute.

Instead, he curiously asked some questions about things outside the Great Wall, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Until evening.

The queen was about to return to the palace, and Princess Jing'an held her hand and said goodbye to her reluctantly at the door.

When she returned, the queen's eyes were red and she unconsciously told Yan Chu a lot about Jing'an's childhood.

She also threatened that no one could hurt her Jing'an.

When she finds the real murderer, she will never let him go.

So when Yan Chu returned to the palace, it was already late, and he went straight back to Yayuan.

Shen Zhishu learned from Arui that Yan Chu took the queen to the inn today.

So when I knew he was back, I took the initiative to look for him.

When the guards of Yayuan saw her, they did not stop her and allowed her to come and go freely.

So she found him in the study.

I saw him take out a pile of books and spread them scattered on the ground.

In his hand was a defense map of the frontier and Yan Dynasty.

Shen Zhishu felt a little confused.

Why did you start studying the defense map after returning from the post station?

"Your Majesty."

She walked to his side, leaned lightly against him, and looked at the drawings.

She had never left Kyoto in her two lifetimes, so she had no idea what the customs outside the Great Wall were like, nor could she imagine what the capital there was like.

"Ah."

He nodded.

But he was still frowning.

"I heard that there has been peace between the Western Regions and the Yan Dynasty for more than ten years, and now they rely on the North City on the border of the Yan Dynasty to trade goods. Why is the prince watching this North City now?"

She didn't understand, with such a small number of troops outside the Great Wall, how could they dare to go against the Yan Dynasty?

"The North City has a strong military force and has always been guarded by Su Yong, the eldest son of Marquis Su. He has not returned to Kyoto for more than ten years."

With strong troops around, wouldn't those outside the Great Wall be even less likely to cause trouble?

Not to mention Su Junhou's character, in her memory of her previous life, there had never been a war outside the border.

The eldest son of the Su family guarded the North City all his life and never made any mistakes.

But now...

However, speaking of the previous life, it seems that Princess Jing'an never returned to the court to visit her relatives.

Could it be that some things have changed invisibly?

"Is this General Su a loyal and brave man?"

Although Shen Zhishu didn't know what Yan Chu was looking at, he knew very well that she would not bring it up for no reason.

"Of course. When I was young, he became famous in one battle and became a general of the army. He is also the pride of the Su family."

Yan Chu nodded.

"The border is very safe, what are you looking at, Your Majesty?"

"It is safe, I hope... I'm just overthinking."

During this moment, he thought of a lot of things, especially the abnormal behavior of the prince consort today, which made him feel that the assassination might not be that simple.

But there will be no chaos on the border, and Su Yong will never commit treason.

Even if he dared, with the limited military forces outside the Great Wall, the Yan Dynasty could wipe him out at any time.

"Is the Third Sister okay?"

Are you overthinking? Didn't you find out something?

Shen Zhishu secretly kept a watchful eye, thinking that the matter must be complicated.

"He was frightened and hasn't recovered yet. It may take some time. They may stay in Kyoto for a while."

Yan Chu said calmly.

"So when the Queen Mother left the palace today and saw the Third Princess, were you worried?"

The queen came out and the two met.

Is it still too late to believe in that?

Shen Zhishu was a little worried.

"Of course, the third sister is the Queen Mother's favorite child. She wanted to bring the third sister into the palace, but the third sister also felt that the person who harmed her was in the palace."

Yan Chu spread the picture on the table.

He casually picked up Shen Zhishu and held him in his arms.

"You are smart, and your guess may be correct. When I find the real murderer, if he is really someone from the palace, I will reward you."

Yan Chu smiled faintly.

"What does Your Majesty want to give me?"

It sounds like there is some hope?

Who should we suspect then?

Shen Zhishu was a little curious.

"You are so happy to hear about the reward, what else is missing in your hospital?"

She has no worries about food and clothing, and lacks nothing, and now she has his love.

Yan Chu really didn't know what to give her.

"It's not that I'm short of something, but I like the things Your Majesty sends me. No matter what you send me, I'll be happy."

Who would complain that their family is too rich?

Shen Zhishu felt that no matter whether he gave her gold, silver, treasures, fame, or profit, she wanted everything good.

But how could Yan Chu know that she would be so superficial?

She said this, obviously pleasing him.

Yan Chu held her in his arms, picked up the blueprint, and talked to her about the outside world.

“Have you been here before?”

He casually pointed to the capital city on the map.

Shen Zhishu's eyes were dark and he shook his head.

"This is Adu City..."

Yan Chu then told her about the local customs and practices there.

Shen Zhishu also listened carefully.

She, a bird in a cage, also longs for the outside world.

When Su Rong learned that the Queen had left the palace to visit Princess Jing'an, she became upset.

"What did they talk about?"

She questioned Qianyue.

"I don't know. The room is surrounded by warriors from outside the Great Wall. The people we send cannot get close to it."

"She's just an adopted daughter, but the queen really takes her seriously."

Su Rong was really surprised.

Who would a petty, scheming and selfish person like the queen care about?

This behavior is indeed abnormal.

So she was in a hurry to come out, and there was only one explanation.

I haven't been able to contact Princess Jing'an for a long time, and I'm afraid she will reveal her secret when she returns to Beijing, so I'm afraid she came out this time for the letter.

If the queen had not received the letter, she would have gone to great lengths to investigate.

Then isn't Shen Zhishu finished?

Therefore, she had to know whether the Queen knew about this, so that she could quietly release clues and let the Queen know that the letter was in Shen Zhishu's hands.

In this way, she had no way to survive.

"Try to understand the Queen's movements. I want to know what she will do in the near future."

"Princess, the situation in the palace is complicated. The spies we have planted are all newcomers. I'm afraid they won't be able to contact the Queen. Why don't we ask the Marquis for help?"

Qianyue, however, felt that this task was impossible to accomplish.

"The Marquis has a solid foundation, there must be a way."

“But I don’t want to rely on him.”

Su Rong felt a little disgusted.

What's wrong with this? Qianyue was somewhat helpless.

"This matter must not be publicized, and my father must not know about it. If it really doesn't work, I will investigate it myself."

What if he tried to dissuade her again after knowing that she was planning to kill Shen Zhishu? Just in case, she chose to conceal it.
