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

When there was finally news, it was news of war.

The successive news made Jiang Ningwan's mood fluctuate.

On the first day, Dayan led his army to attack the north and the war began.

On the third day, a ceasefire was reached, and the Second Prince of Dayan was still alive.

On the fourth day, the King of Chu and the Second Prince went to Dayan to negotiate peace.

On the sixth day, the King of Chu was detained in Dayan.

On the eighth day, Dayan wanted to re-alliance with Daying through marriage, and the one they had their eyes on was... the King of Chu!

When the news reached the court, everyone was shocked.

I never expected that things would develop to this point.

When Jiang Ningwan learned about this, she was shocked beyond belief and immediately went to court to find out more details.

But when he arrived outside the hall, he was stopped by the eunuch.

"Princess Chu, the Emperor has ordered that you are pregnant and cannot tolerate any stimulation, so you do not need to attend the morning court."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked displeased, "I'm not here to attend court as the Princess of Chu!"

She had changed into a neat court dress. Although it could hardly cover her bulging belly, she still held the position of General Ling Wei. Why couldn't she attend the morning court?

But the other party still refused to give in.

"General Jiang, please don't embarrass me. This is the Emperor's order. I'm afraid it will upset you and affect the baby in your womb!"

Jiang Ningwan frowned and could only turn around and leave.

Went to Yongning Palace.

Concubine Rong had also heard about this and consoled him, "Don't worry, wait for Wen Li to come over and ask him about the details."

"Da Yan wouldn't be unreasonable. The King of Chu already has a family, so they shouldn't marry the princess off as a concubine."

Jiang Ningwan nodded. Although she understood this, she was still worried about Qin Shuangchi's situation in Dayan.

Finally waited for Qin Wenli.

He walked quickly into the room. He was not surprised to see Jiang Ningwan here. He saw Jiang Ningwan being stopped outside during the morning court session.

The emperor ordered that she should not be involved in this matter.

Knowing that she was worried about this matter, he immediately said: "Ning Wan, the situation is not that bad."

"Although the King of Chu is in Dayan, Dayan will not forcibly detain him. He has only sent a letter to us seeking a marriage alliance."

"Da Yan doesn't want to be a princess or a concubine, but she still doesn't quite believe that the King of Chu is married."

"I have already replied to Dayan today. The King of Chu has married. The selection of the bride will be discussed later."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt relieved.

Xie Chenyuan and Shen Lianyi could both prove that the King of Chu was married and had an unborn child.

"Thank you, cousin."

Qin Wenli patted her shoulder and said, "You are just too concerned. In fact, I feel that Dayan is just using the King of Chu as an excuse. The person he really wants to marry is Prince Daning."

"This time, the war started due to a misunderstanding and has destroyed the alliance. The Great Yan side is worried that they will retaliate against them in the future, so they want to establish a more solid alliance."

"Then the only option is marriage."

"We don't have a princess of the right age, so we can only have a princess from their side marry us. Naturally, we have to choose a prince of high status for the marriage."

Having said that, Qin Wenli's expression became a little more serious.

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.

"Then the candidate the emperor is considering is you?"

Qin Wenli nodded worriedly, "It's just me."

"Because after the Crown Prince dismissed his court, he went to the Imperial Study to propose his engagement to Jiang Xiru to his father. He has already requested an imperial decree to grant the marriage."

Jiang Ningwan was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn and now it was Qin Wenli's turn to have a headache.

"But Jiang Xiru's leg is lame, and the emperor will not allow the prince to marry a disabled princess."

Jiang Bingde was still looking for the Wuya Holy Fruit to cure Jiang Xiru's leg. Logically, Jiang Xiru's leg should still be lame.

Even if the emperor agreed to this marriage, the queen would not agree.

Qin Wenli shook his head. "I didn't hear what the emperor said afterwards, but since the crown prince dared to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, the marriage will most likely be successful."

After a moment of melancholy, Qin Wenli stopped thinking about it.

He has no favorite woman, so the marriage won't affect anything.

Coming back to his senses, he said:

"Next month is the Empress Dowager's seventieth birthday. Father said the palace needs some fun, and organizing the banquet should be left to Mother."

"Ningwan, you've lived with the Queen Mother for so long, you should know what she likes. Please help Mother with some advice."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Okay."

"The Queen Mother has never been fond of extravagance, and she has never celebrated her birthday in previous years."

"The emperor wants to have some fun this year, so let's have some fun, but don't be too extravagant."

Concubine Rong and Qin Wenli both nodded.

In the following days, Jiang Ningwan helped Concubine Rong in Yongning Palace to come up with ideas and arrange the process and performances of the entire palace banquet.

At first, he lived in Yongning Palace.

But the emperor came to Yongning Palace that day, and it was inconvenient for Jiang Ningwan to stay here, so she returned to Shouchun Palace.

Shouchun Palace was completely silent. Jiang Ningwan wanted to go see the Queen Mother, but Feng Chan said, "The Queen Mother is in the Buddhist Hall."

Jiang Ningwan was surprised, "You're still in the Buddhist temple so late?"

"Don't you usually go there during the day?"

She knew the Queen Mother's daily habits very well, and she had never gone to the Buddhist temple at night.

"After dinner, the Queen Mother felt tired and went to bed early. But suddenly she woke up in the middle of the night and said she had a nightmare. Feeling uneasy, she went to the Buddhist temple to meditate."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt something was wrong.

The Queen Mother had trouble sleeping in the past, so she prepared some calming incense and she always slept well.

She had only been living in Yongning Palace for a few days, so why did the empress dowager have a nightmare?

"I gonna go see."

Jiang Ningwan walked quickly towards the Buddhist temple.

The Buddhist temple is already secluded, and it is even more quiet at night. There are no lights in the courtyard, and the night wind brings a hint of chill.

The light in the Buddhist hall was dim. Jiang Ningwan knocked on the door, "Mother."

No one answered in the Buddhist hall.

Jiang Ningwan knocked again. The silence inside was a little eerie, and a sharp aura came from the darkness.

Jiang Ningwan's heart sank. What happened?

She pushed open the door and rushed in.

The night wind blew in, lifted the curtains, and the candlelight flickered. All I saw was an empty place, without a single person!

Jiang Ningwan was suddenly startled.

He immediately became alert and listened carefully to the slightest movement in the room.

The heavy breathing sound behind the Buddha statue did not sound like that of the Queen Mother.

Jiang Ningwan lowered her footsteps and walked around to the Buddha statue. The dark shadow on the ground gradually became clearer.

She picked up three silver needles with her fingertips, jumped over quickly, and the silver needles flew out from her fingertips.

The man in black's pupils trembled and he immediately dodged, but was still hit by a silver needle.

"Who dares to sneak into Shouchun Palace at night! Come! There is an assassin!" Jiang Ningwan shouted loudly.

But he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly pull out a shiny dagger and rush into the corner.

Jiang Ningwan looked in the direction he was going, and saw the Queen Mother lying in the corner.

Her face suddenly changed, and she almost subconsciously rushed over to protect the empress dowager, trying to snatch the dagger from the man in black with her bare hands.

But he never expected that the person lying on the ground behind him suddenly stood up.

A cold light flashed across the dagger in his hand.

When Jiang Ningwan sensed the murderous intent, she just snatched the dagger from the man in black in front of her, but was a step too slow when she tried to dodge the attack from behind.

The sharp dagger pierced her lower back.
