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

The emperor frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "We really must guard against the north."

"The King of Chu's leg has not yet healed. To ensure everything is safe, Lu Lingsong will go to the Northland with the King of Chu."

"If this battle is unavoidable, we must defend the North!"

Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened, Qin Shuangchi was going to the north.

It turned out to be directed at him.

After leaving Kyoto, those who want to kill him will have no worries. Can he reach the north safely?

What's more, Lu Lingsong is traveling with them, so they will be attacked from both sides.

But I can't think of any way to stop it right now.

Beidi was originally the fiefdom of the King of Chu.

"Yes!"

Qin Shuangchi agreed.

After the court was dismissed, the two returned to the Prince of Chu's Palace.

Qin Shuangchi began to prepare to set off for the north, but Jiang Ningwan still couldn't accept that they would be separated so soon.

"When you go to the North, all your former enemies will surely come to kill you..."

Qin Shuangchi knew she was worried, so he held her hand and comforted her, "I'll be careful."

"The North is my fiefdom. Once you reach the North, you will be safe."

The only person he was worried about was Jiang Ningwan.

"I'm not at the palace. You can go live with the Queen Mother for a few months. With the Queen Mother protecting you, I can feel more at ease about you and the child."

"I'll send you pigeons regularly to let you know I'm safe. If you hear something's happened to me during this time, don't believe it!"

Jiang Ningwan nodded and hugged him reluctantly.

"I don't know when you'll be back this time."

Qin Shuangchi stroked her hair and said soothingly: "I will try my best to stop this war."

"As long as the murderer is handed over and sufficient compensation is paid, Da Yan will not insist on going to war."

"But I'll arrange for someone to check these things out. Just focus on your pregnancy and don't rush around!"

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

It’s a pity that this child came at the wrong time, otherwise I would definitely go with him.

"Be careful of Lu Lingsong. It seems that he is quite happy about the war between Dayan and Daning."

Qin Shuangchi nodded.

Before the two of them had said much, Xiao Lan was already ready.

"Your Majesty, we can set off now."

Jiang Ningwan escorted Qin Shuangchi to the gate and hugged him tightly, "You must come back safely."

Qin Shuangchi raised his hand and brushed her hair, full of reluctance and worry, "I will, and you should take care of yourself too."

"wait me back."

Afterwards, Qin Shuangchi mounted his horse and set off with Xiao Lan.

Watching Qin Shuangchi's figure gradually disappear from sight, Jiang Ningwan felt a tightness in his heart.

Lichun supported her and was also worried.

"Your Highness is blessed with a long life and will definitely return safely!"

Everything happened too suddenly. Jiang Ningwan felt empty and uneasy.

Lu Lingsong also set off that day.

Before leaving, he went to Prince Yi's Mansion to see Lu Qingheng.

"Qingheng, Second Brother will definitely earn some military merit. Then, if you want to divorce, you can do so. Second Brother will support you!"

Lu Qingheng had also heard the news a long time ago and could hardly hide his excitement. "Second brother, since the King of Chu is going to the North, there should be many opportunities for him to take action, right?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Lu Lingsong's eyes, "Don't worry, second brother understands!"

How could he possibly let the King of Chu reach the north smoothly!

The credit for defending the North can only go to him!

The future God of War in the North will be him, Lu Lingsong!

……

The day after Qin Shuangchi left Kyoto, assassins came to the Prince of Chu's Mansion again.

The guards in the palace were on high alert and caught the assassin, who then committed suicide by taking poison on the spot.

"The prince just left Kyoto and these people started again." Li Chun was furious.

"How about the princess stay at the palace for a few days? No one would dare to attack the Queen Mother."

Jiang Ningwan lowered her head, holding her belly, and sighed, "Let's go to the palace tomorrow."

All she can do now is protect herself and her child.

But the next day, just as she was about to enter the palace, a carriage arrived outside the Prince of Chu's mansion.

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.

The carriage from Jinghong Pavilion!

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Jiang Ningwan saw that the person in the carriage was indeed Shen Lianyi. She immediately got on the carriage.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Ningwan asked puzzledly.

Shen Lanyi, who usually kept calm, was a little nervous at this moment.

"I heard... the Second Prince of Dayan is dead? Where is his body?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped.

He looked at her suspiciously.

"Isn't this your first acquaintance with him?"

"Do you know?"

Shen Lianyi knew that she would definitely get to the bottom of the matter, so before coming to find Jiang Ningwan, she had already thought about all the consequences.

He admitted frankly: "I do know him."

"I am from Dayan."

"He has a good relationship with the Second Prince."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked and asked, "So you guys pretended not to know each other in Jinghong Pavilion before? Were you putting on an act for me?"

Shen Lianyi said in a heavy tone, "He doesn't know I'm in Daning State, and probably doesn't want to cause me any trouble."

"That's why I pretended not to know him."

But after listening to it, Jiang Ningwan still remained skeptical.

"What do you want to do by asking about his body? Do you suspect that it wasn't him who died?"

Shen Lianyi nodded and said seriously, "I don't want a war between the two countries. It will have a huge impact on Jinghong Pavilion!"

"Xie Chenyuan's martial arts skills are not weak. I don't think he would be killed so easily. I want to see his body and examine it."

Jiang Ningwan frowned, "But his body was burned beyond recognition. How could you identify him?"

Shen Lianyi couldn't answer either, he just wanted to take another look.

"Try it."

"I'm more familiar with him, so I might be able to recognize him."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Then I'll take you there, but your identity is not appropriate, so you should pretend to be my guard."

Half an hour later, Jiang Ningwan took Shen Lianyi to the government office.

The second prince's body is stored in an ice cellar and will be returned to the Great Yan Kingdom if necessary.

"General Jiang, the body is right here. Please take your time to look at it."

"Thank you." Jiang Ningwan nodded slightly.

After everyone left the ice cellar, Shen Lianyi ran forward quickly. Looking at Xie Chenyuan, who had been burned beyond recognition, Shen Lianyi's emotions fluctuated greatly.

She lifted the sleeves of the corpse, then undressed it to examine the chest and press the joints of the arms and legs.

Check very carefully.

Jiang Ningwan observed quietly. What kind of relationship could allow someone to understand this much? Even the joints were familiar to them?

Just thinking about it.

Suddenly, Shen Lianyi seemed to have confirmed something. He stood up as if relieved and returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor.

He looked at her seriously and firmly and said, "This is not Xie Chenyuan's body."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked.

Then I was overjoyed.

"Are you sure this isn't Xie Chenyuan?"

Shen Lianyi nodded, "I'm sure! This isn't Xie Chenyuan!"

"He should still be alive!"

Jiang Ningwan was delighted, then frowned. "But what's the point of them making a fake corpse?"

"Is Xie Chenyuan still useful to them?"

If that is the case, then Xie Chenyuan is very likely still alive.

Jiang Ningwan pulled out a purse from her bosom. "This was found near where Xie Chenyuan was found. It should be his purse."

Shen Lianyi took it and looked at it, then nodded, "It's his!"

Seeing that she understood so well, Jiang Ningwan continued, "There are two crosses drawn on the stone steps. Do you know what they mean?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lianyi was extremely shocked.
