Xiao Yinnan knew exactly what was going on with his body.

He has always been very cautious, except in front of Jiang Nian.

He only had contact with Jiang Nian that day. When he came back in the evening, he found something was wrong and immediately called a doctor. However, the doctor could not diagnose what the disease was. He only prescribed medicine and told him to rest well.

It won't kill you after all.

But despite this, he was still happy with it, as long as Jiang Nian didn't ignore him.

When Jiang Nian arrived, Xiao Yinnan was already able to sit up.

Hearing the report from the person outside, Xiao Yinnan excitedly sat up from the bed.

"Quick, let someone come in."

He immediately ordered his subordinates to help him wash and dress up. Jiang Nian liked good-looking people, so he wanted to dress up.

The people in the general's mansion were very attentive and respectful in their hospitality. Xiao Yinnan finally appeared after Jiang Nian finished his cup of tea.

He was supported by someone as he came out. He smiled as soon as he saw her: "You've been here for the past few years?"

Jiang Nian didn't stand up either. Xiao Yinnan sat next to her across the table, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Niannian, are you here to see me?"

Jiang Nian slowly put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Yes, I heard that the general has been in poor health in recent days, so I came to see him."

Hearing this, Xiao Yinnan couldn't help but smile. He knew, he knew that Niannian cared about him. She must have been so unfamiliar with him before because of Prince Yan, but now that Prince Yan left, Niannian came.

"Niannian, I'm really happy that you can come to see me." He said, holding her hand.

"Niannian, now that the Prince of Yan is no longer in the capital, you can live in the General's Mansion from now on. You are the mistress of the General's Mansion."

Jiang Nian calmly withdrew his hand and asked, "If I were the mistress of the General's Mansion, what would the Crown Princess do? What would Jiang Nian do?"

"Xiao Yinan, could it be that you still want to enjoy the happiness of having two wives?"

On one side is the Crown Princess, and on the other side is Jiang Nian. Now he is saying such things to her, are he deliberately trying to annoy her?

Xiao Yinnan wished he could hug Jiang Nian in his arms right now, but his body was not in a good condition. He could sit up, but he couldn't move easily.

The person you love is right in front of you, but you can't touch him/her. Your heart feels like it's being bitten by ants.

"Niannian, it's not like that. Jian Songyue and I are just acting. We're not sincere. I only like you."

"What about Jiang Nian? Don't say you don't know. Jiang Nian ran away from the Jiang family. I can't think of where else she could go except here. Did you hide her?"

Jiang Nian had never believed in Xiao Yinnan in her life, but seeing his current expression still made her feel sick.

Xiao Yinnan remained silent, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"Niannian, I know you hate Jiang Nian, but she has been punished in this life and will no longer pose any threat to you."

Xiao Yinnan didn't have any old feelings for Jiang Nian. If she wasn't still somewhat useful, he wouldn't have kept her.

Jiang Nian can't die now.

Jiang Nian gritted his teeth and asked, "Xiao Yinan, are you still protecting her? Just tell me straight, are you going to hand her over or not?"

Xiao Yinnan looked embarrassed: "Niannian, as long as she is no longer useful, I will definitely hand her over to you, but now I keep her because she is still useful. Niannian, you have to believe me."

Jiang Nian sneered: "In the final analysis, you still can't let her go. You said you liked me, but in the end you chose her between Jiang Nian and me. Xiao Yinan, you haven't changed after all."

The sadness in Jiang Nian's words made Xiao Yinnan's heart ache.

The scene of Jiang Nian lying in a pool of blood seemed like yesterday. Jiang Nian was so disappointed in him at that time.

But......

"You clearly know the hatred between Jiang Nian and me, yet you still defend her like this. Well, since you won't let her go, I won't force you. I wish you two a long and happy life together."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, as if he was sad.

Xiao Yinnan called her from behind, and the people outside immediately stopped her.

"Niannian, listen to me..."

"General Xiao, you're not trying to force me to stay in your house, are you? I already told the Empress before I came here that I would be visiting her in the palace today."

The Prince of Yan is now heading to the northern border. Even if Your Majesty wants to get rid of him, there is no need to be so anxious since he has just left. Do you still want to save the face of the royal family?

Xiao Yinnan does have the courage to do this, but he is also smart and really can't do such a thing.

It was too obvious that the concubine disappeared just after the Prince of Yan left.

Xiao Yinnan waved his hand, and the people who were blocking her immediately moved aside, and Jiang Nian turned and left.

Back in the carriage, Jiang Nian angrily punched the wall. This bastard, why doesn’t Xian just die?

She actually wanted to poison him to death directly, but Xiao Yinnan was now highly regarded by His Majesty. If he really died, His Majesty would definitely investigate thoroughly. It would be fine to find out about her at that time, but she was afraid that it would implicate others.

It was all because she didn't know Xiao Yinnan's identity before, which gave him the opportunity to develop his own power.

Otherwise, he should have been eliminated when he was in the Jiang family.

But she also knew that Xiao Yinnan had already grown stronger at that time, and her attempt to get rid of him would probably end in failure.

Sitting in the carriage with a gloomy face, Amber came forward and rubbed her forehead, saying, "Miss, are things not going well?"

It's not going well.

She now believed that Xiao Yinnan really had feelings for her, and she drugged him without asking a single question.

But he also wants to climb up. Compared with power and status, what is love?

With power and status, love is plentiful.

Even if she couldn't take Jiang Nian out of the general's mansion, she couldn't let them have an easy time.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly laughed. Since Xiao Yinnan would not let her go, she could only ask someone else for help.

After coming out of the general's mansion, she went straight into the palace. What she said to Xiao Yinnan and told the queen about what happened today was not nonsense.

I am indeed going to the palace to visit the Queen today.

When she entered the Queen's Palace, the virtuous concubine was also there. When she saw her, she enthusiastically pulled her to sit down.

"I was just talking to the Queen, and I thought you'd be here by now."

The Queen immediately ordered tea to be served to her and said kindly, "Prince Yan has gone to war and will probably be back for a long time. If you feel bored at home, come to the palace more often."

"Usually, only the virtuous concubine comes here often. Here, we are all family members, so we feel more at ease."

"Thank you, my lady. I will remember this."

The queen was not feeling well, so the three of them talked for a while, and then she and the virtuous concubine came out.

But Jiang Nian saw that the queen looked fine and did not look like someone who was in poor health.

After coming out of the palace, Concubine Xian sat with her in the outer room and said softly, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

The virtuous concubine had long seen the doubts in her heart. She wanted to ask but was hesitant because of her reservations.

"Did your Majesty see that?"

"Are you wondering why the Queen, who doesn't look ill, always says she's tired after a few words and even tells others she's not feeling well?"

Jiang Nian nodded.

Moreover, according to her observations and understanding over the past few days, the Queen was not a cold-hearted person, but she was very cold towards the Crown Prince and Prince Yan, and she could not understand why.
