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

Xian Fei sighed, "Actually, the Queen is not ill."

Jiang Nian was puzzled. If the queen was not in good health, why did everyone say that she was not in good health?

And looking at the palace, everyone thought that the Queen was in poor health, and sometimes there were even rumors that the Queen would not live for many years.

"It's a long story, you'll understand later."

"And..." Concubine Xian paused for a moment and said helplessly, "People outside say that the Empress and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan are not on good terms, but you are the one chosen by the Prince of Yan himself. I believe you are deeply trusted by the Prince of Yan. I will not hide some things from you."

"The Queen is the Prince of Yan's mother. How could a mother not love her child? But some things are not as simple as they seem. If the Queen and I can live to that day, we will definitely tell you the reason."

Jiang Nian did not delve into it further. What was said was already very clear. The Queen had her own difficulties. Prince Yan was her own son, but she could not get close to him.

They are clearly a mother and son, but they are no different from strangers.

In the palace, the only one who can make the Queen so fearful is His Majesty.

Since ancient times, scenes of royal brothers killing each other and fathers and sons fighting each other have been common. I heard that even when the current emperor ascended the throne, it was not so smooth.

Throughout the changes of dynasties, few people were able to successfully inherit the throne.

The winners are kings and the losers are bandits after the bloodbath.

Emperor Jianning even harmed his own son, so naturally he had no affection for his son's mother. Jiang Nian was not surprised.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for clearing up my confusion. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"You are a smart person. By now, you should know what kind of monsters and demons are out there, right? Prince Yan is not here, so you can come to me if you need anything."

Jiang Nian stood up and bowed: "Yes, thank you, Her Majesty."

As he spoke, he took out a prescription from his sleeve and handed it over.

"I know a little about pharmacology. This is the prescription I wrote. If Your Majesty and the Empress feel tired, you can take a few doses. It will be good for your health."

"You're so thoughtful. I'll take the gift."

After coming out of the Queen's Palace, Jiang Nian did not leave the palace, but sent someone to pass a message to the East Palace.

The last time she entered the Eastern Palace, she was taken away by the virtuous concubine. It was said that the empress dowager got angry that day and confined Jian Songyue to the Eastern Palace, not allowing her to take a step out without permission.

Recently, Jian Songyue and the Jian family behind her have been quite quiet and unusually low-key.

When she entered the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince was not there, so the palace maid led her into the Crown Princess's bedroom.

Jian Songyue looked unhappy. It was true. The Crown Princess had a good reputation that was known to everyone. She had always been a role model for the noble ladies in the capital, but she was confined to the Eastern Palace by the Queen Mother on charges of immorality and bad etiquette.

If Jiang Nian were to say, the loss of virginity would have to be added to the equation.

As the Crown Princess, she secretly had an affair with an important official in the court, and this person might even be the Crown Prince's brother.

Everyone says that the Crown Princess is virtuous, but behind the scenes she is so bold. Jiang Nian admires her.

However, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince is not a good person at first glance, so it is understandable that the Crown Princess wants to seek comfort from others.

But she chose to find Xiao Yinnan, who was a man even more cruel than the prince, and she was destined to have no good ending.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian felt a little sympathetic towards her.

If she marries Prince Yan, even if he has no feelings for her, he will treat her well.

It is pitiful to take care of a prince like this who will never have an heir in the Eastern Palace.

Xiao Yinnan is good-looking, knows how to coax people, and is now favored by His Majesty. His future is limitless, so it is understandable that Jian Songyue believed him.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess."

Jian Songyue said calmly, "Are you here to laugh at me, Concubine Jiang?"

Jiang Nian stood up on his own, smiling sweetly: "What are you talking about, Crown Princess? I heard that you were in a bad mood, so I came to visit you."

Jian Songyue snorted coldly: "Are you so kind?"

"Does Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess have any misunderstandings about me? We are both the Empress's daughter-in-law. Since I married into Prince Yan's Mansion, have I ever made Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess unhappy?"

She thought that she had never offended her, but she was the one who made things difficult for her because of the relationship between the prince and Xiao Yinnan.

The last time she was brought to the Eastern Palace, she was punished by the Queen Mother, but the Crown Prince behind her was fine. As for Xiao Yinnan, Jian Songyue probably didn't tell anyone about it.

What a fool.

The two men got away with it, but she was the only one who was charged with the crime.

Jian Songyue didn't say anything because what Jiang Nian said was the truth.

Jiang Nian had indeed never been disrespectful to her, and the number of times they had met could even be counted on one hand.

But because of what happened last time, the two of them were destined to be incompatible.

"At this point, there's no point in saying that. Tell me, what brings you here today?"

Jian Songyue didn't believe that Jiang Nian came to see her. Even if Jiang Nian had good intentions, she didn't dare to accept it.

"I am indeed here to visit the Crown Princess, but I also have something to tell Her Majesty."

"Has General Xiao been to the East Palace in the past few days?"

Jian Songyue said impatiently: "I don't understand what Concubine Jiang means by this."

Jiang Nian smiled: "My Lady Crown Princess, now that things have come to this, you don't have to hide it from me. If it weren't for My Lady Consort Xian that day, I would have been taken away by General Xiao."

"You have dealings with General Xiao. I won't tell anyone about this. I just want to ask, has General Xiao come to the East Palace recently?"

Jian Songyue stared at her for a moment before speaking: "General Xiao is not feeling well and has been unable to leave the house these past few days, so naturally he can't come."

Jiang Nian laughed out loud: "Crown Princess, what did General Xiao promise you? Did he say that once he succeeds, you will be the most noble woman in the world?"

The Crown Princess's expression changed slightly, but she managed to calm herself down and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me? Of course, General Xiao also told me the same thing."

"Not only that, he also has someone hidden in his house, not allowing outsiders to see him. He has a beautiful woman in his golden house, enjoying all the happiness of having two wives."

Jian Songyue's expression changed just now, although it was only for a moment, but Jiang Nian still noticed it. She guessed right.

Jian Songyue had never enjoyed the romance between husband and wife in the East Palace, and Xiao Yinnan could coax her with just a few nice words.

The prince has disabled legs and is infertile. The Jian family is unwilling to assist such an incompetent person as the prince. With the help of Jian Songyue, they can naturally establish a relationship with the Jian family.

As for why the Jian family was willing to help him, it could only be because of Prince Xiao Yinnan’s identity.

If Xiao Yinnan can really inherit the throne in the future, even if Jian Songyue cannot become the queen, the Jian family will have the merit of following the dragon and can still maintain its current power.

Jian Songyue's eyes flashed with disdain: "Concubine Jiang, your method of sowing discord is not very clever."

It’s not really that clever, but it’s useful.
