After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

Everyone immediately bowed their heads and knelt on the ground.

The Minister of Rites announced, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: My second son, the Second Prince Xu Jinghuai, is a man of both talent and virtue, with a heart for the world. The daughter of the Prime Minister, Yan Yunshu, is gentle, virtuous, and kind-hearted. I hereby grant them marriage, and choose an auspicious date for the ceremony. I hope they will be of one mind and heart, respect and love each other, and together support my rule, bringing glory to my royal family and the Prime Minister's household. I decree this."

The words fell.

The Minister of Rites handed the imperial edict to Yan Yunshu, "Congratulations, young lady."

After expressing her gratitude, Yan Yunshu took the imperial edict.

As if she had taken a reassurance pill in her heart, she looked at the Minister of Rites and said, "Thank you, sir."

There was a hint of something else in the look in the Minister of Rites' eyes when he looked at Yan Yunshu.

The two imperial edicts clearly granted marriages to princes.

But the wording was completely different.

One is superficial in the love between children, while the other is magnified in the feelings of family and country.

A little more solemn.

Sensitive ministers could naturally smell something from this imperial edict.

This is a signal released by the emperor that he is about to pass the throne to Xu Jinghuai!

Yan Yunshu, who realized the difference later, also quickly realized the difference.

She couldn't help but break out in sweat on her back. She remembered that in her previous life, the emperor did not send out the signal of passing the throne to Xu Jinghuai so quickly. It was only a year after she married Xu Jingye that she heard about the emperor's intentions.

Why did this life come earlier?

If it's in advance...

Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai worriedly.

It just happened to bump into Xu Jinghuai's deep yet tender eyes.

He nodded slightly towards himself.

It was as if he was telling her, it’s okay, he knows everything.

After the decree was announced, the banquet began. After a period of astonishing silence, everyone began to toast each other, appearing to be very lively. However, in fact, their hearts were in turmoil and their minds were still unsettled.

Yan Yunshu brought the imperial edict to the dressing room of Tianxiang Tower. After a short rest, she began to change her clothes.

Her grandmother had already prepared the clothes she needed to change into, and two maids from the marquis's mansion were also by her side, never leaving her side.

The entire city of Tianze was covered in heavy snow, with few pedestrians on the streets. Only Tianxiang Tower was bustling with activity.

The maid was helping her unbutton her clothes when the windows and doors suddenly opened and strong winds and heavy snow poured in.

The maids stood in front and behind Yan Yunshu, protecting her and adopting a very standard defensive posture.

Only then did Yan Yunshu realize that they were not ordinary maids.

The person who came was a man in black. He threw a packet of medicine powder at the three of them. Thanks to the maids' skillful movements, the three of them successfully avoided it.

The man in black obviously didn't expect this sudden change and quickly took out another bag.

As a result, the maid stepped forward and kicked the bag of powder back to him.

He also took the opportunity to pull off the mask of the man in black.

The powder almost covered the man in black's face. He coughed violently and then fainted.

The maid picked up a basin of water and poured it on the face of the man in black.

The man in black was lying on the ground, half conscious and half awake. He stretched out his hand to resist, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, it collapsed back.

"Miss, this is a drug that makes you ecstasy. I'm here with bad intentions. Please change your clothes quickly."

Yan Yunshu was still in shock, and she changed her clothes very quickly.

Then, she stood in front of the man in black who was already fainted. She looked at his familiar face and tried hard to recall this face from her memories of her previous life.

Who is it?

Suddenly, Yan Yunshu's eyes lit up, and she ordered, "Bring another basin of water."

After the maids tied the hands and feet of the man in black together, they brought a basin of water. Yan Yunshu took the water and personally poured it on the man in black's face.

The man in black regained some consciousness.

He looked at Yan Yunshu in front of him, thinking that he had no way out, and his teeth suddenly moved slightly.

"No, pry open his mouth!"

The maids reacted quickly. One of them pried open his mouth, and the other kicked him in the chest.

He spit out the black pill.

The maid looked at the pill and was about to report the origin of the pill to Yan Yunshu.

"Death potion!" Yan Yunshu said it herself. The maids were very surprised and there was a hint of praise in their eyes when they looked at Yan Yunshu.

She is indeed the descendant of a female general, knowledgeable and courageous!

Yan Yunshu squatted down and looked at the face carefully.

She frowned slightly, "Falcon!"

The black-clothed man's confused eyes suddenly flashed with clarity, and he looked at the person in front of him in horror.

In this world, only the eldest prince knows his secret name. How did Yan Yunshu find out?

"You, who are you?"

Yan Yunshu sneered, "Oh, I'm your aunt!"

Falcon wanted to ask more, but the effect of the drug was so strong that after trying his best, he still tilted his head and fainted.

"Miss!" The maids looked at Yan Yunshu in confusion.

Yan Yunshu said calmly, "He is Xu Jingye's secret guard, Falcon."

In the previous life, Falcon had never done anything bad to him, and Ning Jinhua had done all the bad things.

On the contrary, Falcon is softer-hearted than other secret guards and followers. He has pretended to help himself unintentionally many times, allowing him to avoid a lot of harm from Yan Shuyao and Xu Jingye.

But today's work was done by Falcon.

On this day in his previous life, there was no falcon among the secret guards who accompanied Xu Jingye to Tianxiang Tower.

Regarding Xu Jingye, what else is different besides his engagement with me?

She also had deep doubts in her heart.

"Miss, I need to report this matter to the old lady."

"Yeah." Yan Yunshu nodded and said, "Thank you both for your help today. This person..." Yan Yunshu pointed at Falcon.

After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "Sisters, please send someone to take this person back to the Marquis' Mansion and lock him up until I come to interrogate him."

"Girl, since there are drugs, there must be a next step."

"Then let's wait for the next step. I want to see who came into my room."

"Girl, the man in black still had some unused drugs on him."

As the maid spoke, she took out the sleeping pills and placed them in front of Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu frowned slightly and said, "Sisters, please keep this drug on your body. Whoever comes here later will receive it."

"As ordered!"

After the three of them cleaned up the mess in the locker room as quickly as possible, Yan Yunshu sat down, looked out the door, and slowly sipped her tea.

The maids stood on Yan Yunshu's left and right.

Yan Yunshu recalled what had just happened and felt a pang of fear in her heart.

If my grandmother had not been so thoughtful and had not let two subordinates who knew martial arts follow her, I might be the one fainting on the ground now.

What will happen next?

That might be an even more terrifying experience than the previous life.

In Tianxiang Tower, in full view of everyone, in front of a large crowd, the coming-of-age ceremony took place.

This is going to ruin your reputation!

If all this was really planned by Xu Jingye, Xu Jingye would definitely not have anything to do with me personally, so who would be the person who climbed into bed with him today?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a creaking sound from the door. A sharp knife as thin as a piece of paper was inserted from the gap in the door and was picking at the bolt one by one.
