On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent

Emperor Jianning spoke in a calm tone, but it was this tone that made Prince Jin finally realize that his father was angry, and he dared not speak for a moment.

He knelt down with a plop, "Father, please forgive me. I said something wrong."

Prince Yan glanced at him indifferently, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Prince Jin had not made any progress after all these years.

When Minister Chen went to provide disaster relief, he swallowed up 90% of the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and took the remaining 10% for disaster relief. Naturally, there would be no good results.

The victims had no food or money and had no way to survive, so they could only rebel. The one who suppressed these victims was the old Duke of Anguo.

When the Chen family reported this matter to His Majesty, they said that the people were too greedy and that the best way to suppress them was by force.

As for the head of the Chen family, the person who was caught in the rebellion back then was from the Lin family. As for using his own money to help the refugees, it was just because he saw that the truth could no longer be hidden, so he took out part of the embezzled money to help the victims.

If the matter had not been exposed, the Chen family would have been merciful not to extort money from the refugees, let alone take the money.

Your Majesty knows all these things, but it was difficult to deal with the Chen family before, so he didn't mention it again. If he brings it up again today, how could Emperor Jianning not be angry?

"Did you say something wrong? I think you really mean it."

Prince Jin usually says nice things to please Emperor Jianning, so he is naturally favored by the emperor, but his brain... is just barely adequate.

Prince Jin kowtowed quickly, "Father, please don't be angry. It is indeed my son who said the wrong thing. As the Chen family is in the court, it is our duty to share your worries and serve Daqi. There is no such thing as hard work and great merit. I am really confused. Please punish me."

These words touched the heart of Emperor Jianning. He had seen everything the Chen family had done over the years. Although they had indeed made some contributions, they had also done a lot of bad things.

In the past, since many members of the Chen family served in the court and were veteran officials, and were involved in a wide range of matters, they were not punished. But now, they have become more and more outrageous.

The emperor's grace is so great that they should respect his will and be loyal to him and to Daqi, rather than being arrogant and lawless due to the favor.

Emperor Jianning changed the subject: "I heard that you summoned the imperial physician these past two days? Did you find anything?"

Upon hearing this, King Jin's expression became even uglier than before.

The palace did summon the imperial physician, but he really couldn't say what the findings were.

Seeing that Prince Jin didn't say anything, Emperor Jianning directly sent someone to call the imperial physician.

The imperial physician stepped forward and bowed. Emperor Jianning then asked, "Tell me, what is the condition of the Prince of Jin?"

The old imperial physician glanced hesitantly at Prince Jin. Seeing that Prince Jin remained silent, he spoke, "Your Majesty, the Prince Jin's condition...is difficult to describe."

Emperor Jianning's face turned cold. "Why, now even the imperial physician is from the Chen family?"

"I dare not, but I sincerely report to Your Majesty that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin suffers from... impotence."

Emperor Jianning was stunned. Prince Yan just glanced at him and seemed not surprised at all. Prince Jin's face turned green.

He has been smart all his life and has countless women around him. He used to have fun every night, but he doesn't know when he started to feel powerless. Now he can't even touch a woman because he can't stand up anymore.

For this, he took a lot of medicine, but none of them worked. The last time the imperial physician took his pulse, he diagnosed him with this symptom. He was so angry that he beat up the quack doctor on the spot. Now, the bruises on the imperial physician's face have not disappeared yet.

As a prince, being unable to have children for the royal family is equivalent to not being eligible to compete for the throne. Everyone believes that the prince will definitely not inherit the throne. The Chen family and Concubine Chen have been planning for the Prince of Jin for so many years, just eyeing that position.

The Chen family and Concubine Chen had thought of countless possibilities of failure, but this was the only one they had never thought of.

Emperor Jianning recovered from his shock, coughed lightly, and looked at Prince Jin: "Is what the imperial physician said true?"

The King of Jin couldn't say it. How could he admit that he was not capable of such things?

He just lowered his head, looked gloomy and said nothing.

As soon as I saw my son's expression, I knew it was true and there was no need to ask any more questions.

The King of Jin felt as if he had been stripped of his clothes. Everyone looked at him with sympathy, except, of course, the King of Yan.

Since this was the case, Emperor Jianning no longer pursued the matter.

He waved at King Jin and said, "Alright, you can go back first."

The King of Jin kowtowed and left without saying a word.

The Prince of Yan remained in the palace, and Emperor Jianning asked, "What do you think about this?"

Prince Yan said respectfully, "I will follow Father's arrangements."

Emperor Jianning narrowed his eyes and looked at Prince Yan below. If Prince Yan looked up, he would see the scrutiny in his eyes.

"This matter is related to the concubine in your house, and it also involves you. If you are not comfortable interfering, then don't worry about it. I will send someone else to investigate."

"Yes."

"Okay, go back now. Keep an eye on your concubine and your Yue family. Don't make trouble these days, or you won't blame me for being ruthless."

"The minister obeys the order."

……

When he came out of the hall, Prince Jin was still waiting outside. When he saw someone coming out, he immediately rushed up aggressively. However, when he saw Prince Yan's cold eyes, his arrogance was forcibly restrained.

"Prince Yan, I know you're the one behind this. Don't be complacent for too long! Don't think I don't know what you've been doing in private. Even if the Chen family can't escape, you won't have an easy time."

Prince Yan said calmly, "Fifth brother, do your best. I will be waiting."

The King of Jin had no way to deal with the King of Yan. Since childhood, all the other brothers had flattered him, but the King of Yan was indifferent to him. Not only did he not flatter him, he even refused to look him in the eye.

Now that he's grown up, he still looks down on him.

Why do you look down on him? Why do you look down on him?

When the Prince of Yan came out of the kilometer, the deputy general hurried forward and asked, "Your Highness, how is it?"

"Go back first."

Jiang Nian was waiting for news at home. When he heard that Prince Yan had returned, he quickly sent someone to bring him soup: "Go and ask if His Royal Highness Prince Yan is free right now?"

"Yes."

Amber went away for a while and then came back, and King Yan came back with him.

"If you have anything to do, just send someone to call me. There's no need to be so cautious."

Jiang Nian was also afraid that he would be disturbed in his work, so he sent the soup.

Prince Yan did not hide it and said directly: "Your Majesty is determined to deal with the Chen family this time."

"Weren't we protecting the Chen family before? Why are we suddenly dealing with them now?"

Prince Yan sneered: "Your Majesty needs confidants. If you want to deal with the Chen family, you naturally have found someone better than the Chen family. If you have new ones, there is naturally no need to keep the old ones."

Ever since Xiao Yinnan came to power, His Majesty has entrusted many important matters to him. Prince Jin has made no achievements in handling affairs and seems to be in a carefree manner, so the Chen family can only pay more attention to him.

With the addition of Xiao Yinnan, the Lin family cannot be allowed to make a comeback. One of those people who left the city was sent by the Chen family.

Jiang Nian pondered for a moment and asked, "Then...was it really the Chen family who killed my grandfather?"

King Yan said in a deep voice: "No."
