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

"But I have already said that this is the last chance. As a king, you cannot go back on your word."

Yan Chu was silent for a moment and said in a cold voice.

So this time, he doesn't plan to let Jing'an go?

If she were forced into a corner and revealed the Queen Mother's secret, wouldn't Yan Chu be implicated since he is the Queen Mother's adopted son?

"But the emperor is not only the emperor, he is also his son and brother. They have a deep affection for each other. The third sister married far away for the sake of the country and the people. She has been lonely for ten years. Isn't it enough to get another chance? Maybe she is just confused? And I think the queen mother is not unreasonable. Maybe at this moment she just wants to prevent her daughter from suffering, but when she thinks about it more, she will know that the city is related to the face of the Yan Dynasty and cannot be ceded casually."

She has a lot of truth.

Persuading softly.

Yan Chu frowned, seeming very conflicted.

"So Shu'er wants me to give her another chance?"

"Yes, tomorrow night, the Emperor will go to the Cining Palace again. If the Emperor is willing, I will go with you. If the Empress Dowager still insists on doing so, I will persuade her not to do so."

If she went with them, she could always guard against the Queen Mother and Jing'an from harming Yan Chu.

Besides, she will be accompanying him openly tomorrow, not going to rescue the situation, so it won't arouse the Queen Mother's suspicion. "Okay, then I'll listen to Shuer."

He agreed immediately without any hesitation.

Is this the god of war who is decisive and has killed countless people on the battlefield?

Why did she feel that Yan Chu's expression was full of reluctance?

In fact, he didn't want to kill Jing'an.

Shen Zhishu felt somewhat fortunate that his words of advice must have touched his heart.

The next day.

It was gloomy, the sky was foggy and a drizzle began to fall.

And then it didn't stop all day.

Shen Zhishu kept an eye on the Cining Palace the whole day, always worried that something unexpected might happen.

But until the evening, when Yan Chu came to Kunning Palace to pick her up for dinner, everything was calm there.

On the way, he also asked her what dishes and snacks she wanted to eat today so that he could prepare them for her later.

But after meeting Jing'an, this relaxed atmosphere really disappeared.

Even though she and the Queen Mother were very friendly and greeted her with smiles.

But Shen Zhishu knew that they all had their own ulterior motives, so the smile on his face seemed very hypocritical.

"Your father won't come today?"

When the Queen Mother saw them coming, she asked with a smile.

What does this mean? If the emperor doesn't come, then she can make her unreasonable request again?

Shen Zhishu couldn't help but think more.

"Father went to Concubine Yue's place."

Yan Chu said calmly.

"I heard that she has been ill for quite some time. After all, she is old and her good health can't bear it."

The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head.

"The doctor recommended by the Queen has good medical skills. I believe that under his care, your health will get better and better."

Yan Chu said gently, then helped her into the dining room.

"Is Third Princess getting used to living in the palace?"

Behind him, Shen Zhishu and Jing'an were walking side by side, seemingly chatting as well.

"I've been away from here for so long, I'm not used to it."

"If you don't feel comfortable staying here, you might as well go back to the inn."

……

Shen Zhishu smiled with a calm expression.

But such sudden words startled the Queen Mother and Jing'an, and even Yan Chu looked back at her in surprise.

Probably he didn't expect her to be so 'direct'.

"Isn't there a prince consort there? He has been with you for ten years. You must be used to being with him, right?"

Shen Zhishu continued to explain with a smile.

It seems that you can't see the shock on their faces.

"But I really can't bear to leave my mother, so I'll stay for two more days. After two days, I'll go back to the frontier."

Jing'an had a complicated expression.

As he spoke, he looked at the Queen Mother intentionally or unintentionally.

It seemed as if these words were meant specifically for her.

"Are you leaving in two days?"

Shen Zhishu exclaimed.

It seemed as if he knew nothing about the inside story.

"Been here a long time."

She felt a little emotional.

His eyes were moving back and forth between Yan Chu and the Queen Mother.

"I really don't want you to leave now."

The Queen Mother took her hand and tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke these words.

Jing'an seemed to be still waiting for the next words, waiting for the Queen Mother to retain her.

But she just had red eyes and a look of reluctance on her face.

"The day after tomorrow, when will you leave? Mother will definitely see you off. She can't stand the long journey, but she can take you out of Kyoto."

She patted her hands gently, her tone gentle.

It seemed like a loving relationship between mother and daughter, but when Shen Zhishu heard this, his heart suddenly brightened.

The Queen Mother is about to take action.

Jing'an's face changed and his smile froze.

"Don't worry, mother. I still need to go back and discuss it with my husband. I will go to the posthouse after dinner."

But she was not willing to be outdone and immediately said she was leaving.

In front of the emperor, are the two of them declaring war on each other?

"Very good."

But Yan Chu didn't know.

He just felt that Jing'an was willing to leave immediately, even if the agreed time was one day later, he thought it was acceptable.

Shen Zhishu watched the two people's reactions silently.

Both of their faces looked ugly at the same time.

Internal strife is better.

It would be great if you could kill each other.

"Your Majesty, I really can't bear to leave her. You see... let her stay with me tonight and leave the palace tomorrow. I'll trouble you to send a message to the Prince Consort, asking him to prepare to leave Kyoto the day after tomorrow."

But how could the Queen Mother let her go so easily and give her the opportunity to threaten her?

"Tomorrow, I will accompany Jing'an out of the palace to pack her things. I also want to buy some things for her as a souvenir. Then she will accompany me back in the evening and leave the palace the day after tomorrow. It will be like I am sending her off to get married again..."

As she spoke, tears probably streamed down her face because she was too reluctant to leave.

Jing'an wanted to pull his hand back, but she held it tightly.

"Mother, I'm afraid your daughter won't be able to adapt to your sudden departure. How about I stay for a few more days to accompany you?"

If they really stayed inseparable like this, then she wouldn't have any chance to threaten her at all.

"Absolutely not. We still have to put the overall situation first."

The Queen Mother waved her hands quickly.

Then the two of them started arguing with each other.

Yan Chu's expression became more and more intriguing.

Even Shen Zhishu felt that if the two of them continued arguing like this, he would probably become suspicious.

"The Third Princess has lived in the palace for nearly twenty years. Why not take advantage of tonight to go around and have a look? After all, there will be no chance again in the future."

So Shen Zhishu felt that if they continued arguing, there would be no end to it.

She decisively chose to take sides.

Of course, it is the Queen Mother who will fight.

Because the Queen Mother's secret must never be revealed.

"Alright."

Yan Chu spoke again, still two words.

But from Jing'an's perspective, she was against him every time.

The Emperor was determined that she must leave Kyoto immediately, so he was not standing on her side in anything, just to show his position.
