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

Ye Shaohui did not take Jiang Nian to the northern border. On the way to the northern border, they turned and headed east.

So they actually didn't walk far, and it was less than ten days' journey to the capital by horseback.

Jiang Nianwen noticed something was wrong and asked, "Where are we going?"

Ye Shaohui did not hide it, "Go to Qingzhou."

Qingzhou? Isn't that even farther from the northern border?

"Madam, His Highness is not in the North."

"There's no war in the North?"

Ye Shaohui pondered for a moment: "Not really."

Jiang Nian was a little confused. Since there was a war, why did King Yan go to Qingzhou?

Qingzhou is not far from the capital and can be reached in a few days by horseback riding.

They did not delay much on the road and walked quickly, just taking some detours. Less than half a month after leaving the capital, the group entered Qingzhou.

Ye Shaohui took her to the city as if he knew the place well, and stopped in front of a house.

Ye Shaohui bowed and said, "I will escort Madam here."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ye Shaohui and his men left. Jiang Nian was about to knock on the door when it opened from the inside. A strange young man smiled and asked, "Are you the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?"

"Exactly."

"Come with the younger one."

Jiang Nian followed the man into the yard and walked all the way to the main house. The young man stopped outside the door and said, "Madam Jiang, please come in."

When Jiang Nian pushed the door open and went in, he thought he would see King Yan, but he was stunned when he entered.

"Grandpa?"

Jiang Nian hurried over and said in surprise, "So you're here!"

Lin Zhongru had a smile on his wrinkled face. After not seeing him for many days, he had a lot more white hair, but his posture was still upright and he was still a spirited old man.

But his face was pale and he looked a little unwell.

Jiang Nian asked nervously, "Are you injured?"

Lin Zhongru waved his hand and laughed heartily: "It's okay, they are just minor injuries, nothing serious."

"Tell grandpa quickly, how is that kid Prince Yan treating you? Has he bullied you? If he treats you badly, grandpa will teach him a lesson for you."

Jiang Nian didn't say anything, her eyes became redder and redder, and she threw herself into Lin Zhongru's arms and began to cry.

"He won't really bully you, will he?"

Jiang Nian lay in her grandfather's arms and cried for a long time. In her previous life, she returned to the capital and never saw her grandfather again until her death.

Lin Zhongru was not afraid of anything on the battlefield, but he was only afraid that his granddaughter would cry. He only had this one granddaughter, and he was afraid that she would get hurt.

He was extremely distressed. "My dear Niannian, if you have any problem, tell me and I will take care of it for you! If it is really the Prince of Yan who bullies you, I will vent my anger on you even if I have to sacrifice my old bones!"

Jiang Nian burst out laughing, wiped his tears, and muttered: "We are all commoners now, and he is a prince. You dare to go, but I don't dare to let you go."

Jiang Nian asked a lot of questions, but in fact she still had many things she wanted to ask.

Lin Zhongru knew what she wanted to ask, and he would answer every question. But when she asked about the last incident, Lin Zhongru fell silent and said slowly, "You'll have to ask the King of Yan about this."

Jiang Nian finally knew where his grandfather had been these days. It turned out that after returning from the border, he didn't go towards the capital at all, but went directly to the north.

He even fought a battle in the north before returning.

"So, is what the court said about unrest in the northern border true or false?"

Lin Zhongru stroked his beard and said, "It's not really true. It's just that the war in the north was postponed for a few months before reporting to the court."

There was indeed a war, but it was already over, and her grandfather's wounds were almost healed.

"So this was planned by you and King Yan?"

Lin Zhongru remained silent.

Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief. She used to say that Prince Jin was a fool, and she was also a fool.

Lin Zhongru laughed: "Why don't you tell me what you did in the capital?"

Jiang Nian was startled: "What did you do?"

"News has long been reported from the capital that His Majesty has a prince outside, and he has now returned to his ancestral home."

The news came quite quickly.

"I heard that the Crown Prince and the remaining princes are very wary of this newly recognized prince. The situation in the court is not good."

At this time, Prince Yan left the capital and withdrew from the struggle. Now the ones fighting the most fiercely are the Crown Prince and Xiao Yinnan.

But everyone knows that it is impossible for the prince to succeed to the throne, so the next emperor is most likely to be Xiao Yinnan, who has acted in a high-profile manner in the past.

Your Majesty gave all the favor you had previously shown to Prince Yan to Xiao Yinnan, and also named Xiao Yinnan Prince Zhao, giving him considerable power.

Children of the emperor's family should never give their love to only one person, but should treat everyone equally, otherwise there will be bloodshed and a fight to the death.

Xiao Yinnan's presence is too strong, and now that his identity has been exposed, even if the emperor deliberately distances himself from him, others will not believe it.

As the saying goes, the higher you praise someone, the harder he will fall. Just as the emperor treated Prince Yan before, others will treat Xiao Yinnan in the same way now.

The Crown Prince and Xiao Yinnan had joined forces to drive the Prince of Yan out of the capital. Now it was time for these two to fight to the death.

"How did Grandfather know it was me?"

Lin Zhongru tapped her forehead and said with a smile: "Don't I know you? You are very clever."

It is best that Prince Yan is not in the capital now. The struggle between Xiao Yinnan and other princes will not affect them.

They can still live a peaceful life outside for a few days.

"Who asked them to plot against me? I was thinking about it earlier, but I have to let Xiao Yinnan become arrogant, so that the emperor will have no way out."

Who made the emperor treat Xiao Yinnan so well before and place all his bets on Xiao Yinnan? Did he think that no one in this world knew Xiao Yinnan's identity?

The better he treats Xiao Yinnan, the more likely his kindness will turn into a knife pointing at Xiao Yinnan once Xiao Yinnan's identity is exposed.

We are all sons of the emperor, so why should we give in? Of course we have to fight for it.

Besides, if Xiao Yinnan was really like the King of Yan, and all his achievements were earned by himself, perhaps his brothers would be somewhat convinced, but the process of his ascension to the throne was unclear, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

It's hard to convince people.

How can a person who cannot convince others convince others?

Xiao Yinnan, the current targeting is what he deserves.

After the two finished talking, Jiang Nian finally remembered to ask, "By the way, I heard that the King of Yan is also in Qingzhou. Where is he?"

"He's not here. I heard he was injured. Someone should be waiting outside. Go check on him."

Lin Zhongru did not live with the King of Yan.

"Grandfather, why don't you come with me? I can take care of you."

Lin Zhongru shook his head: "I like quietness. Go ahead. Come and see me whenever you miss your grandfather."

Jiang Nian went out reluctantly, thinking of going to see Prince Yan first. If Prince Yan was fine, he would come and live with his grandfather.

Since she had accepted the divorce letter from His Majesty, she would definitely prioritize her grandfather first.

"Then I'll go take a look and come back after I've seen it."
