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

Since Jiang Nian came to the manor, he has been receiving news from the outside world. This morning, he heard that the Chen family had fallen and Prince Jin was confined to the palace. Although he was not implicated too much, he heard that he was beaten and locked up.

"It's really a relief. Prince Jin is such a pervert. He has always had ill intentions towards the girl. He deserves it!" Baozhu said angrily.

Jiang Nian didn't say anything. Baozhu thought she had said something wrong and asked cautiously, "Miss, Prince Jin can finally stop being as arrogant as before. Are you unhappy?"

Jiang Nian shook his head, not because he was unhappy, but because he felt that life was unpredictable.

Concubine Chen and the Chen family had been so favored by His Majesty, yet in the end, this was their fate. Thunder and rain are all the emperor's grace. Did her grandfather think the same way? So when they were accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy, there was no explanation.

Concubine Chen had sent people to kill her in the past. Given Prince Jin's current health condition, His Majesty will no longer give him face. The Chen family has controlled the government for too long. Old Master Chen is old, and the younger generation has taken over. With the addition of Prince Jin, the power of the Chen family will only grow stronger.

Your Majesty has long been unable to tolerate it.

"Miss, I heard...that someone else has entered the palace. They were sent from the East Palace, and a few were also sent from the harem."

Jiang Nian was not surprised, it was expected.

"Your Highness has received them all?"

"I've got it."

They said the Prince of Yan's mansion was going to be bustling, right? She left, and more than a dozen people left. I'm afraid the Prince of Yan will be angry.

But at this moment, it is not convenient to create unnecessary trouble, so the King of Yan naturally did not refuse or express his opinion.

Seeing Jiang Nian's indifferent expression, Baozhu said: "Miss, although His Royal Highness Prince Yan is good to you, aren't you worried? What if..."

What if Prince Yan really falls in love with someone else, what will happen to her daughter?

Jiang Nian was open-minded. If Prince Yan really had someone else he liked and could tolerate her, she would continue to stay in the palace, wait for the Lin family's affairs to be resolved, and then find a chance to leave. If he couldn't tolerate her... then she would not stay. As soon as this matter was over, she would leave the manor directly and let the sky be high and the bird fly freely from then on.

Amber quickly tried to smooth things over: "No, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is not that kind of person. He will definitely come and take the girl back."

Jiang Nian thought of something and ordered, "Please keep an eye on the people who come to the farm recently. It has been a bit uneasy these past two days."

When those people find out that she didn't go to the manor in the palace, they will definitely send someone to look for her, so it's better to be careful.

"Yes."

……

In the palace of Prince Yan.

Prince Yan sat at the table, looking at the memorial in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Is this all that was found from the Chen family?"

"Your Highness, the entire Chen Mansion has been searched, and the farms in the suburbs and other properties in other places have also been searched. Except for those in other places, everyone in the capital is here."

On the memorial was a list of the confiscated Chen family property. Apart from the Chen family's house, the remaining property was only a few tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The Chen family has a huge network of connections, and there are countless people in the capital who are related to them. When the snow disaster hit that year, the people under them were able to extort money from the people and give the Chen family a gift of 5,000 taels.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver, not only would His Majesty not believe it, even the Prince of Yan himself would not believe it.

"Keep looking, even if you have to dig three feet deep into the ground, you will find it."

Lin Ji was a little embarrassed: "Actually... I've already dug three feet into the ground."

When they found the things, they still didn't believe it, so they ordered people to search Chen's house inside and out. They found nothing, so they dug up the yard. They dug up any place that might have some clues, but they found nothing.

Another deputy general nearby said, "Everyone knows that the Chen family is not only powerful in the court, but also has relatives in business. They are incredibly wealthy, so how could this happen... How will His Majesty explain this?"

Su Yang snorted, "What else do you want to explain? When His Majesty handed the matter over to our Highness, he redeemed us. The Chen family had money, but now all the money is gone. Don't even mention explaining. I'm afraid they will punish you."

His Majesty always says that he values His Highness. He did a lot of good things last time, but they were all insignificant. And this time, all the credit was taken by that Xiao Yinnan.

At the beginning of the investigation, they said they wanted to avoid suspicion, but in the end they handed this thankless task to Your Highness. How can this be good?

It has been like this for many years.

Your Highness didn't care before, but now it's too much.

However, everything is as planned.

"Your Highness, how should we report this?"

"Just report it truthfully."

"But...but if we report this to His Majesty, he will definitely think we are incompetent."

In fact, the Chen family only had that much money. When they were said to be the King of Yan, His Majesty would come, and the money in the family would not increase. But His Majesty would not listen to this. The words had already been said, and if he could not take it out, it meant that he was not doing his job well.

Prince Yan said calmly, "Even if this incident didn't happen, do you think I'd be alright?"

He sneered, "If you fail this time, there will be another time. Since you want to drag me down like this, how can I not give you face?"

"Write the memorial and submit it to the palace."

The people below understood that instead of tripping them up again and again, it would be better to just go along with them the first time and see what the person behind the scenes really wanted to do.

"Subordinate, go right away."

As soon as Lin Ji and his men left, someone came to report that the people sent from the palace were starting to become restless.

"Those people in the backyard are clamoring to see His Highness, and they're saying..."

"What else can you say?"

"They also said that they all came from the palace to serve His Highness, but now they have never seen His Highness. If His Majesty knew about this, I'm afraid he would blame us."

Lin Ji snorted coldly: "How dare you use His Majesty to threaten His Highness."

"General Lin, what do you think we should do about this?"

Before Lin Ji could speak, King Yan's calm voice came from inside: "Come in."

The people outside went in, bowed, and told the king what had happened. The king's face was expressionless. "Since they want to see me like this, send them away tonight. Don't light the lamp."

As soon as the Prince of Yan said this, his subordinates understood and asked, "Your Highness, who are you sending off today?"

"It's still the same old rules. We'll draw lots. Whoever draws the red one goes."

"Yes."

The King of Yan had an extremely cold expression. He could ignore everything else, but he would never give in on this matter.

Seeing that snow had begun to fall outside, the King of Yan asked again, "Is there any news from outside the city?"

"Back to Your Highness, no."

"Where are the things the king asked you to deliver?"

"Your Highness, the things have been delivered, but... there has been no news from Zhuangzi. They said that the Madam didn't respond, so the people in the mansion had no choice but to return."
