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

Princess Huaining received Jiang Nian's message and sighed: "I knew she would come to see me."

"Your Highness, do we need help?" asked the nanny beside him.

Princess Huaining shook her head. "I do want to help, but this matter is His Majesty's intention. If I really go to plead for mercy, I'm afraid I'll end up like him."

"But if we don't help, His Royal Highness Prince Yan might..."

Princess Huaining looked outside and said slowly, "Have you forgotten how your master died? Those who are remembered by His Majesty never have a good ending."

"At the beginning, I just said something good, but I implicated an innocent person. This is a warning."

The nanny beside Princess Huaining was not brought from the palace by her. To be precise, the people serving in the princess's mansion now are all from the former Grand Tutor's Mansion, that is, from her husband's family.

Everyone around her had died long ago.

"But you are His Majesty's aunt. Is His Majesty really so unsympathetic?"

Princess Huaining chuckled: "Affection? Your master is his teacher. Have you ever seen him think of affection?"

"Including me, there are no more than five people who knew about what happened back then. It's been twenty years. For all these years, our Majesty has never let down his guard for a single day."

He was afraid that the past would be brought up again and that the world would point fingers at him. He had been pretending all his life, and finally he was afraid when he got old.

"Go back and tell them there's nothing I can do."

"Yes."

Princess Huaining recalled the first time Prince Yan came to see her. At that time, Prince Yan was full of murderous aura, and his eyes were like those of a wolf cub seeing meat.

But she still has people in her mansion, and she can't ignore them. In this princess mansion, the death of one person is enough.

This time, she couldn't help him.

Jiang Nian was not surprised to receive a reply from Princess Huaining. At this moment, let alone whether she was willing to help, even if she was really willing, she might not be able to get the say.

But she couldn't think of anyone else who could help her meet King Yan.

After thinking about it, it seems that no one else can do it except the prince and Xiao Yinnan.

But she didn't want to see these two people again for the time being.

Just when I was at a loss, the man from last night came.

He knelt before her respectfully and said, "Madam, I will allow you to meet His Highness."

Jiang Nian asked in surprise: "What do you have in mind?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has already placed personnel in the Imperial Prison and has made all the arrangements long ago. This matter is not difficult. Madam, please wait a few days. I will go out and handle it today."

Jiang Nian was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as I can meet the King of Yan, I will reward you handsomely."

Jiang Nian waited for two days and was successfully taken to the imperial prison on the third day.

Jiang Nian disguised himself and followed the prison guards all the way to the cell where Prince Yan was imprisoned.

Prince Yan was imprisoned in a cell specially used for the royal family. The environment was not too bad. After all, he was the emperor's son. If he could turn things around in the future, the jailers here would not treat him harshly.

Although the King of Yan was wearing prison clothes, he was the backbone of heaven and earth just standing there.

"Your Highness, someone is here to see you."

Upon hearing this, King Yan turned around and was obviously stunned when he saw Jiang Nian.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I see that Your Highness is doing well." Jiang Nian laughed.

King Yan really didn't expect Jiang Nian to come, "How did you get in?" The imperial prison is a death row.

Jiang Nian didn't want to say those touching words, and smiled coquettishly: "I naturally have my own way, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this. I heard that you don't plan to go out? Are you going to stay in prison and wait for His Majesty to take your life?"

King Yan didn't say anything, and Jiang Nian became more and more angry.

"You're not saying these things on purpose to make me worry about you and care about you, are you? Did what I said last time bring it back to you?"

King Yan nodded.

"Now that you know, you better think it over carefully. When you die, I'll find a father for your child. If you want your child to call someone else dad, you can stay here. I won't try to dissuade you."

Jiang Nian said it as if nothing had happened, but King Yan knew that she could do it.

"Even if I can't remarry, I'm pregnant with your child. If you're convicted, your child won't have an easy life in the future."

Prince Yan's deep eyes were tinged with joy, but he quickly suppressed it. He grabbed her hand and said calmly, "I am now imprisoned. My life and death depend on your Majesty's words. If I really can't get out, you really should find someone to remarry."

As he spoke, he wrote on Jiang Nian's palm.

Jiang Nian played along, "Your Highness, His Majesty is your biological father. How could he have the heart to kill you? As long as the matter is thoroughly investigated, His Majesty will not make things difficult for you."

The Prince of Yan remained calm and said, "Your Majesty is the sovereign, and I am the minister. The thunder, lightning, and rain are all the sovereign's grace, and I should bear them all."

Jiang Nian raised the corner of his mouth. He acted really well. He knew that this guy would not just wait for death obediently.

In the previous life, the emperor suddenly fell ill. Now that I think about it, there must be something fishy going on.

King Yan stopped what he was doing, and Jiang Nian didn't want to stay any longer, so he gave a few instructions and turned to leave.

Prince Yan held her hand, his face expressionless, but Jiang Nian could hear the worry in his words: "Are you poisoned?"

He glanced casually into the darkness and nodded, "Yes, so, you can't be in any trouble. You have to come out to find an antidote for me, otherwise your child will be gone."

She squeezed his hand gently and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't die for the time being."

After coming out of the Imperial Prison, the person who helped her enter was waiting outside. Jiang Nian asked, "Why don't you go in?"

The man said respectfully, "Your Highness has ordered that I am only responsible for protecting the Madam."

Jiang Nian nodded, asked no more questions, got on the carriage and went back.

......

As the night deepened, the lights in the council hall were still on. A figure flashed in and knelt before Emperor Jianning.

"See Your Majesty."

"Did they go? What did they say?"

"Your Majesty, they only spoke a few words between husband and wife. The Prince of Yan also said that thunder, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor, and he has no complaints. Also... Concubine Jiang is pregnant."

"Snapped"

The memorial in Emperor Jianning's hand fell to the ground, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Pregnant? Are you sure?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, it's not clear yet."

"Let's arrange it, whether it's true or not."

"Yes."

The man left the council hall and quickly disappeared into the night. Emperor Jianning sighed.

"Don't blame me for being cruel... You shouldn't have any offspring."

Eunuch Feng lowered his head. Having served His Majesty for so many years, he had a pretty good grasp of what to say and what not to say.

"How is the virtuous concubine these days?" Emperor Jianning suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine has been visiting the Queen frequently in recent days."

Emperor Jianning pondered for a moment and said, "They are sisters. The Queen is not in good health, so it is only right that she visit her more often."

The lights in the Council Hall stayed on all night.

As the sky gradually brightened, the door of the council hall creaked open, and the cold wind outside instantly dispelled the faint warmth inside.

"Your Majesty, you haven't slept all night. You should go and get some rest."

Emperor Jianning looked at the gloomy sky, feeling a sense of melancholy in his heart. "Let's go take a walk in the palace of Concubine Xian."
