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

"Your Highness, the people have been arranged."

"Just send him some food every day and don't let him die."

"Yes...but Your Highness, if we just take the criminal back to the palace, His Majesty..."

"No problem, I will make my own arrangements."

......

Jiang Nian listened for a while and waited until the people left before coming out from the rockery.

When did Prince Yan return home?

Could the wanted criminal they just mentioned be the one they brought back from Tongguan last time?

The prisoner was actually brought to Prince Yan’s mansion!

Jiang Nian found hope again. She was originally worried about how to meet this person, but this was really a pillow given to her when she was sleepy.

Prince Yan is usually busy, so you can go look for him while he is not at home.

"Let's go back."

Back in the hall, Jiang Nian immediately ordered Hubo: "Watch closely these few days and see where the kitchen has been delivering meals recently."

"Miss, you suspect that the wanted criminal they just mentioned is the one you are looking for?"

“I don’t know, but I have to go and see.”

As soon as the voice fell, someone came outside to report: "Madam, His Highness is back."

Baozhu and Amber were busy with their own things when Jiang Nian sat back on the couch and King Yan walked in with his hands behind his back.

Baozhu and Amber bowed and left.

"When did His Highness return?"

"just came back."

Jiang Nian didn't ask any more questions and just sat there reading a book.

Seeing that she kept her head down, Prince Yan walked over to her, picked her up, and took the book from her hand.

"What kind of book is so good?"

I took a look at the cover, was slightly startled, and was about to throw the book away.

The book tells the story of her and King Yan. Although some of it is exaggerated, most of it is true.

He kissed her on the corner of her mouth and said, "Why are you looking at that? If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."

......

The Prince of Yan still stayed in her yard every day, but he was not there during the day. He only came back at night to have dinner with her.

One day, Amber came in from outside and whispered, "Miss, after observing for the past few days, I found that the kitchen not only delivers the meals to our courtyard, but also to the courtyard behind His Highness's study."

"I asked, but the person delivering the food didn't know who to deliver it to. He just told me to put the food at the gate and not to even look at it."

Isn’t the courtyard behind the study the place that the nanny mentioned that day?

It seems that there is really someone inside.

"I stood at a distance and looked. The courtyard is behind His Highness's study and can be passed from outside the study."

However, there were people guarding outside Prince Yan's study for twelve hours a day, making it difficult to get in.

However, as long as Prince Yan is not at home, there is a way to get in.

In the evening, word came from outside that Prince Yan had important matters to attend to today and would not be back that night.

Jiang Nian didn't show it on his face, but he was excited in his heart.

There is a forest outside the study, and passing by there at night will not attract other people's attention.

Jiang Nian took something out of the small box and handed it to Baozhu: "Go ask the kitchen to make some midnight snacks and bring them to the guards outside the study. Tell them that they have worked hard and let them eat."

Baozhu responded, "Yes."

After dinner, Jiang Nian waited until late at night, changed his clothes and left the yard.

Walking towards the study and entering the woods, I saw two people taking a nap at the study door.

She didn't dare to give any drugs, she only dared to give some things that would make people tired and exhausted, as long as it could make her pass the time.

The journey was smooth, but maybe because the front was strictly guarded, there was no one at the gate of the yard.

I climbed over the wall and entered the yard. It was quiet inside, with no sound at all.

In the moonlight, I could see that there were only two rooms in the yard. They didn't look big, and they were pitch black, which looked a bit creepy.

Jiang Nian walked forward and gently pushed the door, but it was not locked.

I lit a stick of fire and saw clearly what was inside the room.

The entire house must be cleaned regularly. The furnishings are simple but very tidy, without a speck of dust. However, it doesn't look like anyone lives in the house.

I looked around the two rooms and found nothing.

Who is the kitchen delivering food to?

Jiang Nian returned to the first room to see if there was any mechanism.

But I searched everywhere and found nothing.

Could it be that she had gone astray?

But food was delivered here, so there must be no one here.

I searched the house for a long time, but was afraid that someone might come suddenly, so I had to give up.

"Crack" Jiang Nian paused, as if he stepped on something.

He slowly lifted his foot, and with a click, the bookshelf against the wall moved.

There was a secret door behind the wall, which looked like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting for her to enter.

Standing at the secret door, you can only see the downward stairs inside and nothing else.

But since I'm here, I can't come in vain. Prince Yan is not here today, and this opportunity is rare. If I don't go in today, it will be even more difficult to get in later.

He took out the candle he brought and lit it, then walked down carefully.

After walking down the stairs for a long time, I finally reached a dark room. There were many shelves in the dark room, and the shelves were filled with files and archives of some court officials.

Jiang Nian looked for it, but found nothing about the Lin family. These should have been investigated by Prince Yan himself.

Continuing along the passage, there is another dark room, larger than the first one, with boxes all over the floor.

Jiang Nian walked forward and opened one of the boxes, which was full of silver.

I looked at several of them, all of which were gold, silver, and some jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Isn't the Prince of Yan's Mansion too rich? Does Your Majesty know about this huge amount of money?

But she is not interested in these things for the time being and has not seen anyone yet.

According to the direction she just walked, this secret room should be towards the study, that is, towards the front yard of the palace.

There are several more rooms next, each containing corresponding items.

Prince Yan's weapons, some account books, Prince Yan's armor, and a lot of miscellaneous things.

Jiang Nian didn't look closely because the secret passage was not yet finished.

Did the King of Yan empty his own house?

This section of the journey was particularly long. I don’t know how long it took before I finally saw the light.

After taking a few quick steps, I finally saw what was ahead.

In such a Yanwang Mansion, there was actually a prison cell underneath, which was fully equipped with torture instruments, but there was no one in the cell.

There is a door further in, and that should be the end.

I didn't see anyone along the way, so I had to stay inside.

He walked forward slowly and pushed gently. Jiang Nian frowned slightly. Such an important place, why is the door not locked?

As soon as the door was opened, a crack appeared, and light brighter than outside came through.

Through the crack in the door, she saw a chair in the middle of the room, with a person sitting on the chair with his back to her.

Just as I was about to push the door open, I suddenly froze.

Was her entrance too smooth?

Since it is such an important place, why is there not a single guard inside?

I glanced behind me and it was so quiet that I could even hear my own breathing.

Jiang Nian's heart instantly rose.

Seeing that she had been standing at the door, the person inside finally spoke: "Since you are here, why don't you come in?"

Hearing the voice, Jiang Nian's face turned pale and he felt cold all over. He froze there and looked over in disbelief.

Why is he here?
