On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent
Chapter 120 King Yan is in danger
Princess Jin was sent to rest by Jiang Nian because she was not feeling well. The Crown Princess also said that she was tired and went to the palace to rest, but she refused to leave.
Jiang Nian finally rested and opened the note that Princess Jin had slipped to her. There were only three words on it: Prince Yan is in danger.
Jiang Nian suddenly became uneasy. Prince Yan had entered the palace today and had not returned yet.
But the Prince of Yan had previously sent her a letter saying that the southern border was not peaceful and that he would probably go on an expedition soon. Your Majesty could not punish him at this time.
She wanted to ask the Princess of Jin, but the Crown Princess was still there, so she only sent her servants to find out the news.
Nearly half an hour later, the man returned, "Madam, the Princess of Jin said she didn't know either, but she heard from the Prince of Jin that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan went into the palace today and wouldn't be back."
Although the King of Jin was released from house arrest, he was no longer as powerful as before. The Chen family's former supporters were all worried about their safety, and now that the incident hadn't happened for long, they dared not cause any more trouble.
Then there are only the prince and Xiao Yinnan.
The Crown Princess and Xiao Yinnan have already colluded, and the Crown Prince will probably also deal with King Yan because of what happened last time.
Thinking about this, the Crown Princess's refusal to leave today seemed to have ulterior motives.
Princess Jin knew it, and the Crown Princess couldn't be unaware of it, so she wanted to keep an eye on her in the mansion.
There must be someone outside watching her, and her letter cannot be delivered.
He would not kill her, but would only hold her hostage to threaten King Yan.
Jiang Nian cursed and was just thinking about what to do when someone ran in panicked: "Madam, Madam, something's wrong, His Highness, His Highness has been in trouble!"
Jiang Nian's heart sank, "What happened?"
"News has come from the palace that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is harboring a criminal who is plotting to usurp the throne. He was immediately imprisoned by His Majesty."
Intent to rebel?
Jiang Nian suddenly remembered the person sent by the Lin family that King Yan had mentioned before. She had never seen that person before. King Yan said that he was not sure about the thing he wanted to investigate, so he did not elaborate.
But what does this have to do with usurping the throne?
Jiang Nian withdrew his slightly trembling hands and forced himself to calm down. He couldn't panic. A person like the King of Yan must have a backup plan. It is impossible for him to be locked up in jail and do nothing.
"Ma'am, what should we do now?"
"Where is the deputy general beside His Highness?"
"I was imprisoned with His Highness."
Jiang Nian was a little unsteady.
"Girl, please take care of yourself." Amber said worriedly.
"Madam, let's quickly send someone to inform the Anguo Mansion. The Duke will definitely help."
Listening to the footsteps outside, Jiang Nian stared at the door: "It's too late."
The Crown Princess walked over gracefully, a smile on her face as she asked, "What happened to Concubine Jiang? You don't look well, but you're not feeling well either."
Jiang Nian forced a smile: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Princess."
"It's getting late. I should go back. Has His Royal Highness Prince Yan returned yet?"
"Your Highness is busy and always comes back late."
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "In that case, Concubine Jiang might as well go to the Eastern Palace. The Eastern Palace has acquired some new and interesting things recently, and I want to give some to the Empress. Concubine Jiang, please go over and help me take a look at them?"
Jiang Nian said politely, "How can a concubine like me look at the things in the Eastern Palace? The Crown Princess can make the decision herself."
"Although you're a concubine, Prince Yan doesn't have any other wives or concubines in his mansion, so it's only right that I ask you to go. I ran into Prince Yan when I was leaving the palace today. He said he might not be able to come back tonight, so it's a good opportunity for him to visit me to avoid being bored in the mansion. Someone, please invite Concubine Jiang."
This is to take her out of the palace.
"Crown Princess, I'm a woman, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the Eastern Palace. I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for me to go."
The Crown Princess suddenly chuckled: "What are you afraid of? The Crown Prince won't care. Besides, he's a cripple. What else can he do to you?"
Jiang Nian's smile completely faded, and he asked calmly, "Why did the Crown Princess insist on having me go to the Eastern Palace?"
Jian Songyue smiled warmly: "Didn't I tell you? I just want you to see those new things. Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince of Yan are brothers from the same mother. It's only natural for you and I to be close to each other." As he said that, he patted her hands.
The Crown Princess raised the handkerchief in her hand, and Jiang Nian smelled a strange smell. He frowned slightly. This smell... seemed to have been smelled somewhere before.
"Crown Princess, I am the concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. I dare not leave without His Royal Highness's permission."
The Crown Princess always had that same smile on her face, but now it seemed to have a deeper meaning.
"Concubine Jiang, you should know this too, right? Something's happened to Prince Yan. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back, not to mention today, even in the future."
She had only met the Crown Princess three times. The first time was at a banquet in the East Palace, the second time was at the Queen's birthday banquet, and the third time was today.
Today's Crown Princess finally revealed her true face.
"Concubine Jiang, I don't want to embarrass you, but today, you must come with me."
Jiang Nian smiled faintly: "Who let me into the East Palace? Was it the Crown Prince? Or was it Xiao Yinnan?"
The Crown Princess's expression changed slightly, and the smile on her lips was a little loose. She asked, "What is your relationship with General Xiao?"
Jiang Nian's smile was quite meaningful: "He and I are naturally old friends."
She and Xiao Yinnan have both experienced two lifetimes together. Although they have hatred, they can indeed be considered old friends.
Sensing the hatred in the Crown Princess's eyes, Jiang Nian was surprised. Could it be that Jian Songyue...has fallen for Xiao Yinnan?
How courageous she is! She actually dares to cuckold the prince!
"Crown Princess, do you know that Xiao Yinnan wanted to marry me in the beginning, but he failed to snatch Prince Yan away from him. Even now, he is still pestering me. Do you know this?"
"impossible!"
Xiao Yinan said that he just wanted to see what good the woman snatched away by the King of Jin and the King of Yan would do him. He thought that maybe she would be of some use to him.
"Don't believe it?"
"Crown Princess, you should have heard that before Xiao Yinnan was appointed general by His Majesty, he worked as a servant in an official's house. Did he tell you that the official's house was my family?"
"When he was a servant in my house, he had evil intentions towards me. Does the Crown Princess think such a person is worthy of trust?"
The Crown Princess twisted the handkerchief between her fingers and almost bit her lips.
Jiang Nian did it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose, otherwise she would not be fooled. Yes, she couldn't be fooled.
"Concubine Jiang, what's the point of you saying all this now? Just follow me obediently, and you'll suffer less."
"What if I don't leave?"
"Concubine Jiang, I didn't come here for nothing today. I have people in the yard. If you don't leave, then you can only be carried away."
Jiang Nian sneered: "You have people, but I don't? Come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, people from outside filed in and surrounded the entire hall.
Jiang Nian smiled proudly: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the Crown Princess to compete with me in my house for more people, right?"
The Crown Princess's face darkened: "Jiang Nian, I am the Crown Princess, do you want to rebel?"
