The prince returned to the East Palace with no expression on his face, but everyone who served him knew that this was a sign of his impending temper.

Seeing this, the Crown Princess stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

The prince suddenly smiled and waved to Jian Songyue: "Come here."

Jian Songyue instantly became nervous, "Is there something wrong, Your Highness?"

The prince said gloomily: "I asked you to come over."

Jian Songyue moved over slowly, trembling. As soon as she stepped forward, the prince grabbed her wrist.

Snapped!

The prince slapped the man to the ground and pulled him up by his hair.

The prince's face was grim: "What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask what's wrong?"

"Jian Songyue, you married me, but you're still thinking about other men. You're having secret meetings with other men in the East Palace, cuckolding me, and now you're asking what's wrong!"

Jian Songyue screamed in pain, but the prince seemed to be venting his anger by pulling her hair and slamming her into the wheelchair.

"Tell me, was it the King of Yan who was having an affair with you? Tell me!"

People were kneeling on the ground outside the hall, trembling with fear and not daring to make a sound. Jian Songyue inside the hall wanted to break free, but she was a woman after all, and could not match the prince. After a while, she was thrown dizzy.

After venting his anger, the prince threw the man to the ground and asked fiercely, "I am asking you a question. Is the person you are having an affair with the King of Yan?"

Jian Songyue lay on the ground, tears in her eyes, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, and smiled miserably: "Yes, I cheated on you, who can I blame? If you can do it, would I still cheat on you?"

The prince's legs were disabled and he was unable to move when he was in his teens. He also had a bad temper. There were no other women in the Eastern Palace except the prince's consort.

So when he was angry, he would take it out on Jian Songyue.

"A cripple, a sickly woman, and you're still thinking about sex? I could find you eight or ten, but are you up to it? Comparing yourself to the King of Yan? You're not worthy!"

"You...you fickle bitch, I'm going to kill you!"

Jian Songyue's neck stiffened: "Come on, kill me, kill me now! If you kill me, forget about getting support from my mansion. If I die, do you think anyone will still worship you? If I die, you will not only be a useless person, but also a waste!"

"Qi Junmo, you are a waste!"

She had been taking care of this cripple for so many years, being scolded and beaten at every turn, and her family still advised her to be patient? She had had enough.

What's stealing? Not only does she steal, she also kills!

Jian Songyue got up from the ground and sneered: "Why, you don't dare? If you don't dare, then just be a good waste."

The Crown Princess came out of the hall in a disheveled state, while the people outside the hall were kneeling and did not dare to look up.

The prince's eyes were bloodshot, and he was coughing in anger. The eunuch outside hurried in: "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay? I will go call the imperial physician."

The prince grabbed the man and the eunuch quickly gave him some water, and he felt better.

"Prince, you must take care of yourself."

The prince calmed down and asked, "How much did you hear just now?"

The eunuch knelt down quickly and said, "I didn't hear anything."

The prince's eyes were grim, but his tone was calm: "Kill all those outside."

The eunuch shuddered and immediately responded, "Yes."

......

Prince Yan sat at the desk, frowning slightly as he looked at the memorials presented to him.

Lin Ji asked: "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

The Prince of Yan handed him the memorial, and several deputy generals were stunned. "What does your Majesty mean?"

"This is a good thing."

Their Highness has made so many military achievements, and His Majesty's talk of rewarding them is actually just lip service.

No matter how many achievements their prince has made, they are not worth a few good words from Prince Jin.

"What's the good thing?" Lin Ji said.

Can snatching things from the prince be considered a good thing?

The prince is disabled, not dead. Your Majesty is now going to give everything the prince has to Your Highness. Will the prince give up?

"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?"

"Your Highness, do you really want to take this?"

"Since it was given by His Majesty, I should naturally accept it."

"But... doesn't this make you enemies?"

His Highness and the Crown Prince are brothers from the same father and mother. What will happen if a rift arises between them?

"It doesn't matter."

"How is Xiao Yinan doing?"

"Your Highness, he did come to the Eastern Palace. Initially, he only bewitched the Crown Princess. Now that this has happened... I'm afraid things are not going to go well for the Crown Prince and Xiao Yinnan."

The King of Yan didn't say anything, but he already knew what was going on.

"Just follow the plan."

"Yes."

"By the way, Your Highness, there's news from the border that the person you're looking for has already set off and will likely arrive in Beijing after the New Year."

"Who sent the letter?"

"It's the Anguo Mansion."

"Princess Huaining didn't send anyone?"

"No, they said something went wrong on the way, so they handed it over to the Anguo Mansion."

"understood."

In the evening, King Yan told Jiang Nian everything that had happened that day.

Jiang Nian’s first thought was that the emperor must have bad intentions.

But it seems that the emperor treats Prince Yan quite well.

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

The emperor is her biological father, so it is not easy for her to say bad things about him directly.

"Your Majesty is afraid of me."

With his words, Jiang Nian knew.

"Your Highness, you still haven't found out Xiao Yinnan's identity?"

King Yan shook his head. As long as it was in this world, there was no information that could not be found out. However, there was no way to find out about Xiao Yinnan's affairs before he entered the Jiang family.

It was as if he appeared out of thin air, or... someone erased all traces of him.

Jiang Nian curled his lips and said, "Looking at His Majesty's preference for Xiao Yinnan, someone who didn't know would think that Xiao Yinnan was his son."

As soon as I finished speaking, I was stunned. Why is it impossible?

If Xiao Yinnan is really the emperor's son, then His Majesty's preference for him can be explained.

In the previous life, she was sold to the Jiang family. Although the Jiang family was not of high status, they had finally entered the circle of officials in the capital.

Through Jiang Mingyuan and Jiang Dechang, you can get to know a lot of people.

Perhaps at that time in his previous life, Xiao Yinnan had already met Prince Jin, and through Prince Jin he could meet the emperor, and maybe even be able to trace his ancestral roots.

He came back early in this life and made preparations early on. He didn't need to rely on the Jiang family, Jiang Mingyuan, or Prince Jin, because he had made great contributions and had shown his face in front of His Majesty.

The more Jiang Nian thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he asked, "Do you think it's possible that Xiao Yinnan is His Majesty's child?"

Emperors have always been amorous, so it is not impossible for them to have a child outside.

King Yan also thought of this possibility, but without evidence, he could not make a conclusion.

"That bastard Xiao Yinnan is really good at hiding things. If I had known earlier, I should have stabbed him to death at the inn last time."

"Inn?"

"It was the last time we went to Pingchuan. Didn't we stay at the inn in the middle of the night? That Xiao Yinnan actually managed to get into my room with so many people outside, and I stabbed him."

King Yan's eyes flashed, and he grabbed her hand and asked, "What is he going to do?"

"Of course I'm going to..." He paused.

"Why don't you say anything? What are you doing?" King Yan came over and asked.

"Uh...he was just trying to harass me, but don't worry, Your Highness. I ignored him and gave him a knife coated with poison."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really."

After getting away with it, King Yan asked her to sleep first and then went out.

As he came out, his eyes gradually darkened, just like the endless night before him.

A figure appeared in the darkness, and the King of Yan's cold voice rang out: "There is a spy in the army, go and investigate."
