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

After the virtuous concubine had breakfast, the maid beside her brought her hot tea and asked, "Your Majesty, it's cold today. Do you still want to go to the Queen's place?"

The virtuous concubine glanced outside and was about to speak when a long voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty has arrived."

The corner of Xianfei's smiling mouth fell instantly, and she said lightly: "I won't go today."

Emperor Jianning walked in from outside and saw Concubine Xian bowing to him in a proper manner. Although he still did not look at him in a good mood, the gloom on his face had faded a lot.

Even his voice softened: "There's no need to be polite between you and me, get up quickly."

Emperor Jianning walked into the hall and sat down. The servants quickly served tea and snacks and left.

Seeing her dressed neatly and wearing makeup, Emperor Jianning said, "It's really cold outside today. It's better not to go out."

The virtuous concubine remained silent, and Emperor Jianning said patiently, "I know you two sisters are very close, but you should also take care of your own health."

The virtuous concubine said coldly, "Why, Your Majesty is now even going to take care of these things?"

Emperor Jianning was helpless: "I'm not trying to control you, I'm just worried about you..."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this. We agreed back then that I would stay in the palace and not go anywhere, but Your Majesty couldn't interfere with me. Have you forgotten so quickly?"

Here's the deal.

"Yingyue, I... really just care about you, nothing else."

"Are you... angry about the matter with King Yan?"

Since Emperor Jianning ascended the throne, he was feared by everyone for his iron-blooded tactics when he was young. Now that he is older, his temperament has become gentler, but no one dares to speak to him like this except for Concubine Xian.

But even though Concubine Xian had a bad attitude, Emperor Jianning never blamed her.

When mentioning Prince Yan, Concubine Xian's face became even gloomier.

"Your Majesty will not tolerate him after all. If something really happens to Prince Yan, don't blame me for not keeping our original agreement. Otherwise, you will kill me."

There was pain in Emperor Jianning's eyes. After all these years, she still couldn't see him.

They grew up together, so why didn't she see him?

"How could I kill you?"

If they really wanted to kill her, they wouldn't have kept her alive for more than twenty years.

"Don't worry, Prince Yan will not die. If he can just be an idle prince, I will not touch him. Otherwise..."

"Isn't the prestige of the Prince of Yan today all due to His Majesty's help?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Xian's expression froze. She stood up suddenly and looked at Emperor Jianning in disbelief.

Why didn't she think of it? Why didn't they think of it?

Your Majesty has always been very fond of Prince Yan. No matter how much the Queen and the Queen Mother dislike it, Your Majesty will not listen.

He insisted on being nice to Prince Yan, as if Prince Yan was his only biological son.

She was worried at first, but when she saw that Prince Yan had lived well for twenty years, she didn't think much about it.

After hearing what was said just now, Concubine Xian finally woke up from her dream.

On purpose, he did it on purpose!

"Qi Yan, have you been thinking about harming him since then? Have you never thought about letting him have an easy life since then? You never thought about letting him go from the beginning..."

The virtuous concubine felt a chill run down her spine. "What a vicious mind!"

Emperor Jianning chuckled. "I promised you I wouldn't kill him. After all, he's our son. But from now on, he can't appear in court. I can afford to support a prince without any power or ambition."

The virtuous concubine's eyes turned red with anger, and she could barely stand. She sneered in her heart, thinking that he had schemed against everyone. He had been in the palace for twenty years, but he didn't even know whose son the Prince of Yan was. How ridiculous.

"What do you want to do?"

Emperor Jianning stood up, as if talking about something insignificant. "I heard that Concubine Jiang is pregnant. Don't blame me. He can't have children. Prince Yan, there's no need to stand up. I will not touch him again in consideration of his meritorious service over the years."

"you!"

Emperor Jianning smiled, his tone sarcastic: "I can't bring myself to kill you. I respect and protect you, and I promised you not to kill the Prince of Yan. But I have raised him for so many years, doted on him for so many years, and we have lived a good life together for so many years. It's time to return him to me."

"You're right. I really can't tolerate him."

In the past twenty years, he has been siding with King Yan, favoring him, praising him, and putting him in his current position.

He was feared by the ministers in the court, became a thorn in the eyes of the princes, was disliked by the empress dowager, the empress lost a son because of him, the prince had both legs crippled, and Xiao Yinnan was also forced to live away from home for many years because of him.

How can you not hate it?

Even without him, Prince Yan would not have come out of prison.

In such a situation, King Yan had no chance of turning things around.

Now that the four seas are pacified, the King of Yan is no longer useful, so there is naturally no need to keep him.

Emperor Jianning flicked his sleeves and walked out of the palace, and Concubine Xian's hands were bleeding.

Not long after the people left, the eunuchs brought a lot of things as usual.

"Take it back." Concubine Xian said sternly.

The eunuch said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this was sent by His Majesty. His Majesty said that if Your Majesty doesn't like it, then the servants will replace it with another batch until Your Majesty is satisfied."

The virtuous concubine closed her eyes, then opened them again, and the rage in her eyes finally subsided.

"let it go."

After the eunuch left, the palace maid beside him asked, "Your Majesty, do you still need to send these items to the Prince of Yan?"

"The Prince of Yan's Mansion is not at peace right now. Don't send it away. Put it away."

"Yes."

Just because you don’t need it now doesn’t mean you won’t need it in the future.

It was obtained for free, so I will keep it to add to the wealth of Prince Yan in the future.

He thought that the King of Yan could not escape this time, and that he was the only smart person in the world. He was too conceited, but he would fall flat on his face.

......

Emperor Jianning returned to the Council Hall, called Eunuch Feng over, and whispered something in his ear.

Eunuch Feng was slightly startled, but still responded and went out.

After a while, a glass of wine was brought over.

Emperor Jianning only glanced at it briefly, lowered his eyes, and said in a stern voice, "Send it to him. You go there in person and watch him drink it in person."

Eunuch Feng did not move, but asked: "If His Highness asks..."

"Don't say anything, just give it to him."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Eunuch Feng walked out of the council hall tremblingly, turned around to look inside, and sighed in his heart.

The King of Yan was such a cold, arrogant and aloof man, how majestic he was on the battlefield, but now, he was destroyed in such a turbulent palace and by this small glass of wine.

After drinking this glass of wine, the King of Yan is afraid that...

Alas, it’s all fate.

Eunuch Feng walked slowly and personally delivered the wine.

Ever since Eunuch Feng left, Emperor Jianning has been uneasy.

I don’t know if it was out of excitement or fear, but my hands couldn’t hold the pen at all. Finally, I just stood up and paced around the hall.

The ticking sound of the clepsydra was deafening in the hall.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Jianning tilted his ears and heard footsteps outside, and the corners of his mouth finally rose.

But as the footsteps got closer, Emperor Jianning frowned, because the person who came back was not Eunuch Feng.

The young eunuch outside ran and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, urgent news from the border!"
