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

Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened and she subconsciously clutched her clothes.

It’s finally settled.

It’s not Qin Shuangchi who wants a marriage!

But Jiang Bingde stopped talking. The more he did so, the more uneasy Jiang Ningwan became.

I walked all the way to the imperial study with my heart hanging in the air.

Met the emperor.

After paying his respects, the emperor sighed and said, "Jiang Ningwan, you are broad-minded and open-minded. You must be more open-minded about some things."

Jiang Ningwan clenched her palms tightly, feeling extremely uneasy.

"Your Majesty, is there any new news from Dayan?"

The emperor nodded slightly, "The person for the marriage has been chosen, it's your cousin Wen Li."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up, and he was a little surprised, "Third Prince?"

Isn’t it Qin Shuangchi?

"Yes, the princess of the Great Yan marriage alliance is already on her way. You are close to Wen Li, so I plan to arrange for you to pick up the Great Yan princess. You are of similar age, so I believe you will get to know each other quickly."

"Only when they get married will the alliance between Da Ning and Da Yan be considered solid, so their marriage must not go wrong!"

"You must entertain Princess Dayan well and let her get acquainted with the world as quickly as possible."

Jiang Ningwan readily agreed: "Of course that's no problem."

"But why did the Emperor just tell me to be more open-minded? I'm so happy that my cousin is getting married!"

The emperor's expression became serious again.

There was a hint of sadness between his brows.

"One more thing."

"Sixteen...may not be able to come back."

Jiang Ningwan, whose heart had just been at peace, was once again in her throat. She was shocked. "What do you mean by never coming back?"

"Da Yan can't detain him, right?"

The marriage has been negotiated, which means it went smoothly. How could Qin Shuangchi not come back!

The emperor said in a heavy tone: "It's not Dayan."

"On the way back from Dayan, he was attacked and disappeared."

"Originally, the person that Da Yan wanted to marry was Sixteen. Sixteen has been missing for over half a month, so Da Yan changed the candidate."

"There's still no news. It's unclear whether he's alive or dead. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."

Those words rumbled like thunder, making Jiang Ningwan's head buzz, and she took an unsteady step back.

how can that be possible!

How could Qin Shuangchi disappear!

"Did you send anyone to look for it?"

"Who attacked him? I want to see him alive or dead. It happened in Dayan, so Dayan must be responsible for finding the person!"

Qin Shuangchi's leg has healed and his martial arts skills have recovered. It's impossible for something like this to happen!

"It's said that it was his enemy, a poison expert named Mo. A general was also killed in Dayan. The situation is serious."

"We sent people to search for over half a month, but all we found in the river was the clothes Sixteen was wearing on the day he disappeared, and a severed limb..."

"Although we can't confirm it's him, it's pretty close to the truth."

"You want to drive more."

"The Queen Mother is also very sad and her condition has worsened. You must not irritate her."

In an instant, it was as if a big hand strangled her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

The feeling of suffocation made her dizzy.

She doesn't believe it!

She didn't believe Qin Shuangchi would die!

"I see……"

"My minister retire."

Jiang Ningwan bowed and slowly left the imperial study.

The winter sun was shining brightly, and it made her feel warm on her body, but it couldn't dispel the chill that penetrated her bones.

Jiang Bingde was waiting for her outside the imperial study. Seeing her distraught look, he said, "Ningwan... don't be too sad..."

He reached out to pat Jiang Ningwan's shoulder.

But Jiang Ningwan walked away on her own, and his outstretched hand fell empty. Looking at her dazed back, he felt heartbroken.

Even after walking a long way out of the imperial study, Jiang Ningwan still couldn't accept this.

Thinking of the Queen Mother, she rushed to Shouchun Palace.

When she saw the empress dowager, she was even more shocked. It had been such a long time since they last saw each other, and the empress dowager had suddenly aged by ten years.

His temples are gray and his face is haggard.

I am bedridden and unable to get up, and I keep coughing.

Feng Chan brought the medicine, but the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "I can't drink it. I can't stand the smell. Take it away."

Feng Chan was worried, "But Queen Mother, how can your health be cured without taking medicine?"

The Queen Mother said nothing, but just waved her hand and refused to drink.

Jiang Ningwan walked into the room, and Feng Chan's eyes lit up, "General Jiang, you're finally back!"

"The Queen Mother refuses to take the medicine..."

Jiang Ningwan took the medicine bowl and said, "Let me do it. You go down first."

She came to the bedside with the medicine in her hand and said, "Mother, if you don't take the medicine, you won't get better. I'll be worried about you when the prince comes back."

When the Queen Mother saw her, tears welled up in her eyes. She held her hand and said in a choked voice, "My child, you have suffered so much."

"Sixteen he..."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother began to cry sadly again.

Jiang Ningwan's face was pale. Seeing the Queen Mother crying, she wanted to cry too, but she forced herself to hold it back.

If she started crying too, the Queen Mother would be even more worried.

She forced a smile and said firmly, "I believe the prince is still alive!"

"I want to see him alive or dead. I don't believe he's dead until I see his body!"

"The incident happened in Dayan, and we don't know the specific circumstances, but I believe in the prince. If he says he will come back, he will definitely come back!"

Seeing her determination, the Queen Mother was also moved. "Really?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

"As long as I don't see his body, I will believe he is still alive!"

"Mother, you must take care of yourself and wait for him to come back."

Jiang Ningwan picked up the medicine bowl and fed the empress dowager medicine.

The Queen Mother stopped crying and took the medicine bowl, "I will do it myself."

Fighting back the bitter taste, the Queen Mother finished the medicine and patted Jiang Ningwan's hand. "In the entire palace, you're the only one who still believes he's alive."

"I believe you!"

"I will take care of myself and wait for him to come back."

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were red and she forced a smile.

She was the only one in the entire palace who believed that Qin Shuangchi was still alive...

After chatting with the Queen Mother in Shouchun Palace for a while, the Queen Mother went to sleep and Jiang Ningwan left.

Asked Fengchan.

"Has the Queen Mother's condition not improved?"

Feng Chan said worriedly, "She caught a cold a while ago and had just gotten better, but when the news came back from His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, the Queen Mother was overwhelmed with grief and couldn't bear the shock, so she fell ill again."

"The condition has suddenly worsened a lot."

"Imperial Physician Xu comes every day to take the Queen Mother's pulse and prescribe medicine, but her condition hasn't improved. He says it's a heart disease, and she might only recover after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu return."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Please take good care of him. I'll come to see the Queen Mother tomorrow."

"Yes."

Jiang Ningwan hurried out of the palace and went back to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to see if there was any letter.

If Qin Shuangchi really died, his confidants would definitely announce his death.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the palace, she ran into the Duke's carriage that had just stopped at the palace gate. Jiang Xiru slowly walked down with the help of her maid.

When Jiang Xiru saw Jiang Ningwan, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

He walked up to Jiang Ningwan arrogantly and blocked her way.

"I used to envy my sister's good fortune, being able to marry the King of Chu for the second time. Now it seems that my sister is unlucky, having driven away General Qin and killed the King of Chu."
