Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Lu Qingheng endured the pain all over his body and tried his best to stand up, "Your Majesty, please be patient."

But this aroused the Queen's even greater rage, and she slapped Lu Qingheng hard in the face.

"Why don't you just be patient?"

"I was just released from house arrest a few days ago, and now I'm under house arrest again! It's all because of you, an idiot!"

"You haven't even found out who the child in Jiang Ningwan's belly is, and you're plotting against her! It's the King of Chu's! It's the King of Chu's!"

Thinking of this, the queen became furious.

I thought Jiang Ningwan was having an affair with someone, but it turned out there was no evidence at all, only the child in her belly.

Lu Qingheng fell to the ground and couldn't get up, tears welling in his eyes, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

……

In Yongning Palace, the little princess stopped crying.

The emperor then went back to rest.

After seeing off the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, Jiang Ningwan stayed in Yongning Palace. She saw Concubine Rong slowly wiping away her tears, and she looked as if nothing had happened.

"aunt……"

Concubine Rong handed the child to Cuiwei and said, "Go and feed the wet nurse."

When they were the only two left in the room, Concubine Rong said calmly, "I was the one who put the powder in."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked.

Concubine Rong said in a heavy tone, "You must be wondering how I could have the heart to hurt my own child."

"But in this palace, compared to life, a little rash is nothing to be ruthless about."

"The Queen has lifted her confinement and will come after me sooner or later. Rather than waiting for her to do it, it's better to strike first."

"I just didn't expect the emperor's punishment for her was still just house arrest."

Having said that, a hint of disappointment flashed across Concubine Rong's brows.

Jiang Ningwan was worried, "After all, there is still the prince."

"As long as the Crown Prince is alive, the Queen cannot be deposed."

"Aunt, there's no rush."

Concubine Rong nodded, "I understand. I feel more at ease now that I can lock her up temporarily. Otherwise, I would be worried all day long."

"It made Wenli stay by my side every day and neglect his studies."

Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and said, "If Aunt is worried, you can take the little princess to Shouchun Palace more often. With the Queen Mother protecting her, the little princess will be safe."

Concubine Rong nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Ningwan stayed in Yongning Palace until late at night, and then went to Taiming Palace to find King Chu.

The banquet in Taiming Palace has ended and everyone has left.

Just as Jiang Ningwan was searching for Qin Shuangchi's figure, Qin Beihuang suddenly came into her sight and walked towards her.

Jiang Ningwan wanted to bypass him, but was blocked by Qin Beihuang.

"Have you known this for a long time?" Qin Beihuang said with a serious expression.

"You know we suspected you were pregnant, and you did this on purpose tonight."

"Why didn't you explain then?"

Since the King of Chu's leg has healed, and since the child is his, Jiang Ningwan should have explained as soon as she was slandered!

But she didn't.

She was so nervous that even he took it seriously.

Jiang Ningwan smiled coldly, "So what?"

Seeing her smile, Qin Beihuang's head started buzzing.

"If that's the case, why didn't you tell me when I came to find you?" Qin Beihuang was a little exasperated.

At that time, he even boasted that he would recognize the child. He was like a clown.

Jiang Ningwan must have laughed at him in her heart.

Qin Beihuang looked a little embarrassed and clenched his fists.

Jiang Ningwan raised an eyebrow as if she had heard something funny. "You guys are plotting against me, and you expect me to tell you the truth without reservation? You're dreaming."

When the killer tested her outside the military camp, she discovered that someone was testing whether she was pregnant.

After thinking about it, the only people who could have such doubts are Qin Beihuang and his wife.

"Jiang Ningwan, I really don't understand you. Can you be more direct?" Qin Beihuang felt a lump in his throat.

She would go to Qingfeng Mountain to save him even when she was pregnant, but why did she always treat him like this?

He just wanted to know what she was thinking.

"Am I not direct enough? If you are sick, go get treatment." Jiang Ningwan looked at him in confusion, walked around him and left quickly.

Just when Qin Beihuang was about to reach out and grab her.

Qin Shuangchi's voice came from the front: "Ning Wan!"

When he raised his eyes, he saw the King of Chu not far ahead, slowly approaching.

Jiang Ningwan ran towards him quickly.

Never looking back.

But her back showed the joy in her heart.

Qin Beihuang's outstretched hand was still frozen in mid-air, his fingertips only feeling the coolness of the edge of his clothes...

He once used this hand to push Jiang Ningwan away, but now... he can no longer hold her.

In the night wind, Jiang Ningwan's long black hair fluttered in the wind, and her dress was lifted up by the wind, making a rustling sound.

Jiang Ningwan quickly ran to Qin Shuangchi.

He untied his cloak with one hand and put it on Jiang Ningwan, "It's cold at night, be careful not to catch a cold."

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "It's not cold."

Qin Shuangchi asked in a low voice: "Are Concubine Rong and the little princess okay?"

"Nothing serious, the Queen is under house arrest again."

Just as she finished speaking, Jiang Ningwan noticed the figure not far behind Qin Shuangchi, "Second Prince of Dayan?"

Qin Shuangchi nodded slightly, "My royal brother asked me to entertain him for a few days."

"He's here to buy weapons, so it's a good opportunity for us to negotiate this deal."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan nodded thoughtfully.

Then the two of them walked towards Xie Chenyuan.

Xie Chenyuan was very polite and courteous. "When I wanted to spar with General Jiang today, I didn't know that General Jiang was pregnant. I almost caused General Jiang a lot of trouble. I apologize."

Jiang Ningwan waved her hand, "Second Prince, there's no need to be so polite. This matter has nothing to do with you, so there's no need to apologize."

After meeting him so far, I feel that Xie Chenyuan is a good person.

He is kind and polite, neither overly humble nor arrogant, and his words and actions give people a very comfortable feeling.

Xie Chenyuan smiled and said, "I think I should have the opportunity to spar with General Jiang next year, right?"

Jiang Ningwan raised her eyebrows, "Of course."

Xie Chenyuan added, "I'm fortunate to see King Chu stand up this time. I should be considered the number one person in Great Yan! If I could have the opportunity to spar with King Chu, then I would have no regrets in my life."

As the God of War in the North, King Chu was an existence that Dayan both feared and revered. Xie Chenyuan had heard many legends about King Chu.

Jiang Ningwan immediately replied, "That's a pity. The prince can only barely stand up and can't walk for too long, let alone spar with you."

"You are a prince, why do you think about fighting all day long? It's a rare trip to Daning Kingdom, I will take you to enjoy the capital!"

Jiang Ningwan immediately changed the subject.

After all, Xie Chenyuan is the prince of Dayan, so he must be on guard against others.

"There's a Jinghong Pavilion in Kyoto City. Have you ever heard of it? The performances there are breathtaking!"

Hearing this, Xie Chenyuan was slightly surprised.

"Is it really that amazing? Then I'd like to go and see for myself!"

Looking at Xie Chenyuan's reaction, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Jiang Ningwan readily agreed: "Ordinary people can't enter Jinghong Pavilion, but I can take you in!"

"The day after tomorrow, I'll take you to see it!"

Xie Chenyuan happily agreed: "Okay."

Jiang Ningwan had previously guessed Shen Lanyi's identity. He was either from Dayan or Dayan. She wondered if he knew the second prince of Dayan.

Let’s try it another day.

After a few polite words, the three of them left the palace and returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

In the next few days, Xie Chenyuan will temporarily stay in the Prince Chu's Mansion.

In the darkness in the distance, Lu Lingsong supported Lu Qingheng and limped out. Seeing Jiang Ningwan and the others from afar, Lu Qingheng gritted his teeth and his eyes turned red.

"Second brother, I don't accept it. Why is Jiang Ningwan so lucky?"

"I lost both of my children, how could she be pregnant with the blood of the King of Chu!"

Lu Lingsong wiped the tears from her face distressedly, "Second brother promises you that Jiang Ningwan will not be able to give birth to this child!"
