The next day, there was news that Emperor Jianning handed over the investigation of General Lin’s death to Xiao Yinnan, and asked Xiao Yinnan to be fully responsible for the matter and make sure to get to the bottom of it.

Prince Yan and Jiang Nian were not surprised. Xiao Yinnan was now highly valued by His Majesty, so it was normal for him to take on such a task.

Because of what His Majesty said last time, Jiang Nian planned to leave the palace and live in the farm for a few days.

After all, the Lin family is related to Jiang Nian, and now it is related to King Yan, so it is better for her to stay away from them.

But once she left, no one knew what kind of rumors would spread outside. They would definitely say that she was disliked and abandoned by the King of Yan, and thrown on the farm to fend for herself.

But in fact, at this moment, Prince Yan was lying on her endlessly because he would not see her for a few days.

Prince Yan deliberately bit her shoulder. Jiang Nian felt the pain and hissed, "Are you born in the year of the dog?"

Prince Yan stopped and panted in her ear: "Don't forget me."

Jiang Nian: ...

She just went to the farm to avoid the limelight, it's not like she won't come back. The way she said it sounded like she was going to say goodbye to her forever.

He put his arm around Prince Yan's shoulder and said lazily, "How could I forget Your Highness? I'm still waiting for you to come and pick me up." After that, he tilted his head back and kissed Prince Yan on the corner of his mouth.

Prince Yan was slightly startled, then he lowered his head and bit her lips, wantonly and unrestrained, not at all like his usual cold and reserved self.

Such people will also lose control sometimes.

It was unknown how long it took before Jiang Nian finally fell into a deep sleep. However, she hadn't been asleep for long when she felt someone moving her.

"Go to sleep, I'll take you there."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Nian fell asleep peacefully again until he was shaken awake.

They were on their way. Amber and Baozhu were accompanying her in the carriage. When they saw her wake up, they immediately asked, "Are you awake, young lady? Are you hungry? There is food in the carriage."

As he said that, he took the pastry and handed it over.

Jiang Nian drank some water, then took the cake, opened the curtain and looked outside. A group of people had just separated from them.

Amber explained, "It was the prince's arrangement. We are going to the girl's own farm."

Baozhu said, "I have already made arrangements with my cousin, and the farm is ready. No one outside knows that the farm is now under the young lady's name, so it will be safe for us to go there."

"His Highness also said that the young lady should live here peacefully and that he would come to visit her when he is free."

Jiang Nian nodded. This matter was decided by Prince Yan when he returned from the palace that day. There were already spies in the army, and the palace was even more unsafe. Several had been caught, but it was of no avail.

She simply told others that she was not feeling well and wanted to go to the farm to recuperate.

Those people definitely don’t believe it, but the palace will be bustling these days.

Baozhu massaged her legs and said, "Miss, you didn't know that. Fortunately, His Highness made all the arrangements. We had a lot of people watching us along the way."

The group that had just separated from them went to the manor of the palace, and there was another group that went to another manor of the palace. Jiang Nian and her group quietly separated from the group and walked towards a remote mountain.

Jiang Nian pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the Madam arrived?"

"Don't worry, young lady. He's already arrived. He told everyone that it was too cold in the capital, so he went south to recuperate."

Jiang Nian nodded and said, "Just go."

Those people would not let her go, let alone her mother. Her mother was the biological daughter of the Lin family, and they would not let her live.

The carriage swayed slowly towards the farm, and Shunxi was seen standing at the gate of the farm from a distance.

It was snowing outside. Shunxi was so cold that he kept stamping his feet. When he saw the carriage coming, he waved quickly.

Baozhu also waved outside, the carriage stopped, and she jumped out first.

"Are you all ready?"

"Don't worry, we started preparing as soon as we received the news and will ensure that the girl will live comfortably."

Baozhu and Hupo helped the person down from the carriage. Shunxi quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I pay my respects to the young lady. Long live the young lady."

"Get up now. You've been working hard here. You can't stay with me in the city like Baozhu."

"What are you talking about? Being able to work for you is a blessing for me. If it weren't for you, how could I have such a good life now?"

Shunxi used to be a peasant. He worked for several people but failed to stick with them in the end. He could only go home and do nothing, without any proper job.

Baozhu introduced him to the girl. At first, she thought he was just helping to run errands, but unexpectedly, he was directly asked to manage this big farm. Now he has married his beloved girl and lives comfortably on the farm. He has no shortage of food and drink, and he receives a good monthly salary. This is a life he could never have imagined before.

"It's cold outside, go in quickly, my lady is waiting."

Jiang Nian was escorted in. Hui Niang was inside the room talking to Lin. When she saw someone coming in, she quickly stood up and saluted.

After Hui Niang got married, she combed her hair up. She no longer had the feminine air of Wangchunlou, but had a touch of gentleness.

Mrs. Lin quickly grabbed her daughter's hand and asked, "Did you have a smooth journey?"

"Don't worry, mother. Everything is going well."

Lin was finally relieved. The mother and daughter exchanged a few words. Jiang Nian looked at Hui Niang and said, "It's been a while since we last met. How are you, Hui Niang?"

Hui Niang was flattered. "Thanks to the Concubine, everything is fine."

Hui Niang only knew that Shunxi worked under a daughter of an official, but she didn't know the girl's identity. By the time she found out, the girl had already married into the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Only then did she realize that Shunxi followed a very powerful master.

She didn't know that Shunxi was in charge of a farm. It was only after she redeemed herself and came to the farm that Shunxi told her what had happened.

She came from a brothel, but she could live such a life. Her former sisters all said that she was lucky.

Ever since she knew Jiang Nian's identity, Hui Niang had become a little reserved. Jiang Nian smiled and said, "You don't have to be nervous. Shunxi works under me, and you've helped me before. We are family, so just be casual."

Hui Niang bowed and said, "Yes."

……

In the capital, the Eastern Palace.

The Crown Princess brought tea into the hall, then sat quietly aside, looking at the two people in front of her.

The Prince of Jin came early this morning and told the Crown Prince that he wanted to overthrow the Prince of Yan.

The prince did not answer, but a trace of disgust and contempt flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled.

"Fifth brother, you are such a joker! The King of Yan and I are born of the same mother. How could I harm him?"

Prince Jin scoffed, "From the same mother? Prince Yan is about to seize the position of Crown Prince, and you're still from the same mother? Second brother treats him as a brother, but he doesn't take you seriously."

"Now that I have lost the favor of the Prince of Yan, you must not let the Prince of Yan get ahead of you. You are the crown prince of Daqi and the one who will inherit the throne in the future."

The prince asked calmly, "Don't you want the position of crown prince, my fifth brother?"

Prince Jin quickly shook his head: "Second brother, why do you think so? I have never coveted these!"

The prince sneered in his heart. Everyone looked down on him.

Just wait, the King of Yan and the King of Jin will soon be trampled under his feet!
