After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

When the onlookers saw Qu Weiliang running away, they did not stay any longer.

They pointed and talked a lot before dispersing in all directions.

Shen Changle walked slowly to Jiang Ci'an.

The white pheasant and the black bird both came over.

"Miss……"

Seeing Jiang Ci'an's bad face, Shen Changle gave Bai Zhi a look.

He signaled Bai Zhi to throw the servants left behind by Qu Weiliang out of the village;

He also asked Xuanque to lead the carriage into the yard and take Wang Xiao back to the house first.

She took Jiang Ci'an, who was lost in thought, and sat him down at the stone table in the courtyard, and asked softly:

"Ci'an, what's going on with the Nine Lines that Qu Weiliang mentioned?"

Jiang Ci'an realized that he could no longer hide the truth, so he told the truth.

"Changle, actually, there's one thing I haven't told you..."

"Ok?"

Shen Changle listened quietly with a gentle look in his eyes.

Be extra patient in the face of his confession.

But the calmer she was, the more ashamed he felt...

He lowered his head deeply and tapped the table with his fingers.

"Before I left Beijing...I went to the General's Mansion."

Shen Changle didn't know why he suddenly brought up this matter and was a little surprised.

"and then?"

Jiang Ci'an hesitated.

He thought Lu Mingchao had bullied her, so...

But now it seems that he was the one who misunderstood.

In addition, it was rumored that Changle was fond of him.

If he confessed now, it was he who ruined Lu Mingchao...

Will Changle think that he is narrow-minded and cruel?

"Farewell?"

Hearing Shen Changle's urging, he gritted his teeth.

Without hesitation, he told the whole truth in one breath:

"At that time, I thought you had his child, but he refused to acknowledge it. In a rage, I sneaked into the general's mansion... and crippled him..."

He lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Prepared to be scolded by Shen Changle.

after all……

Everyone knows:

In times of war, the significance of a war god general goes far beyond leading troops to fight.

It is also the stabilizer in the hearts of the court and the people!

During the conflict between the four countries, Lu Mingchao must not be in trouble!

But he still stubbornly...

Just as he was holding his breath and reflecting on himself, he suddenly heard Shen Changle burst into laughter.

"fool……"

He looked up in surprise and blurted out:

"You don't blame me?"

Shen Changle hid his smile, glared at him, and pretended to be angry:

"Strange! How could you be so brave to break into the general's mansion alone at night? What if you get hurt?"

Jiang Ci'an blinked hesitantly.

His thin lips moved in and out, not knowing what to say.

After a while, he lowered his head again, not hiding his self-blame.

"At the time, I really didn't expect him to be so treacherous, actually hiring someone to impersonate you to kill me... and now he's even implicated Old Nine."

Etc., etc.

There is too much information.

Shen Changle couldn't absorb it for a moment.

"How do you know the fake princess is from Lu Mingchao? And...isn't Jiuxing in Qu Weiliang's hands?"

Jiang Ci'an raised his eyelashes, his eyes determined.

"At that time, Lu Mingchao's men chased me all the way to Yuanyang. After I shook off the last wave of assassins, the fake princess arrived. If she wasn't his, who else could she be?

As for Lao Jiu... I'm just guessing at the moment -

Yuanyang is more than a thousand miles away from Wohu Mountain. If Lu Mingchao hadn't interfered, how could Qu Weiliang have captured him so easily? "

so……

The magistrate of Yuanyang County is Lu Mingchao and the Queen Mother's man?

But before the emperor's uncle left, he told the prefect to be trustworthy...

Did the county magistrate deceive the prefect, or did the prefect deceive the emperor's uncle?

How could such a small city like Yuanyang have such serious party disputes?

And that fake princess...

If she was really the work of Lu Mingchao and the Queen Mother, it would not end easily.

"Xuanque——"

She raised her voice and asked:

"Have you contacted the capital?"

Xuanque came trotting over and leaned over to answer.

"There's been no reply to the letters I sent, and..."

"what?"

Xuanque hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to make His Highness worry, but since His Highness asked, she answered truthfully.

"The accompanying secret guards sent out to investigate haven't returned yet."

The message cannot be sent?

how so……

She couldn't help feeling a little worried, her brows furrowed.

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ci'an saw that she looked unhappy and asked in a gentle voice.

Shen Changle shook his head, lowered his eyes, and felt panicked.

"But are you worried about the palace?"

Seeing Jiang Ci'an asking her questions, she finally expressed her worries.

"When I came here, the emperor's uncle escorted me all the way, but he was assassinated in Yuanyang. The secret guards around him were almost wiped out... I don't know if he has arrived in the capital now..."

And that fake princess...

What on earth is Lu Mingchao planning?

Jiang Ci'an took her into his arms.

Integrate clues and help her analyze:

"If I'm guessing correctly, the Regent must have sent you in secret, and no one in the court knew about it."

"Um……"

"In that case, no matter what Lu Mingchao is planning, the fake princess's conspiracy will not succeed!"

"How to say?"

Shen Changle looked up in confusion and looked into his eyes bewilderedly.

He smiled faintly and pinched her nose.

"It's really worrying that makes you confused."

And patiently analyzed it for her:

“Because of Lu Mingchao and the fake princess, I didn’t know that the Regent was secretly escorting you.

If the Regent had already arrived in the capital, he would have thoroughly investigated the assassination of Yuan Yang and would have easily traced Lu Mingchao and the fake princess.

If the Regent hasn't returned to the capital, your brother will be on guard. Even if a fake princess shows up, he'll be on guard... because the Regent who escorted you hasn't returned yet."

Shen Changle felt that there was some truth in it.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and nodded.

This caused Jiang Ci'an to chuckle in a doting manner.

"Those involved are confused, and those who are concerned are also confused. Even my clever little princess has become a little confused due to worry."

Shen Changle was in no mood to joke, he just sighed:

"I hope the Emperor's uncle has arrived safely in Beijing..."

however……

I'm afraid her wish will be in vain.

Fortunately, Jiang Ci'an's analysis was correct.

Shen Changning was alert enough.

Under severe punishment, the fake princess finally revealed Lu Mingchao's plan:

"General Lu couldn't stand the princess's dislike... He asked me to pretend to be the princess... kill Jiang Ci'an and marry him..."

She had been tortured beyond recognition and made her confession with great difficulty.

When Shen Changning heard this, he was so angry that his teeth ached.

Because he knows...

If this plan is to succeed, the most important thing is to make the imperial sister... disappear completely!

Lu Mingchao, how dare he!

He stood up angrily and overturned the chair.

He gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Fulai! Draft an imperial decree—Lu Mingchao is so audacious as to murder the emperor's relatives and deserves death! ..."

Before he could finish his words, Fulai and Qisha both knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down! Your servant, I know that Your Majesty loves the Princess...

But the prince is not in the capital right now. If the emperor were to touch General Lu at this time, it would probably trigger a chain reaction and even bring in the Queen Mother and her allies..."

Shen Changning clenched his fists angrily.

"Do they still dare to rebel?"

Seeing that Fulai could not bear the emperor's wrath, he knelt on the ground and trembled.

Qi Sha kowtowed and tried to persuade him again:

"Your Majesty, calm down. The four nations are currently in constant conflict. It is not appropriate to execute the generals, as this might shake the morale of the army! Moreover..."

He lowered his head even lower until it was flat against the ground.

"The prince's whereabouts are still unknown. What if he has fallen into Lu Mingchao's hands? Your Majesty, please restrain your anger for the sake of the prince and make long-term plans."
