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

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan just found it ridiculous.

"What should I confess? He wants to kill me, so I can't kill him?"

If Qin Beihuang hadn't gotten in the way, Lu Lingsong would have died under her sword by now!

Qin Beihuang was worried. "Killing an official of the imperial court, do you know how serious a crime this is? If you are found out, you will die."

Jiang Ningwan said indifferently: "This has nothing to do with you."

"Since you rescued Lu Lingsong, it's best to keep this matter to yourself."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan rode away with his men.

The team whizzed past Qin Beihuang.

……

It was already night when they arrived in Kyoto, so Jiang Ningwan went back to the Prince Chu's Mansion to rest.

"Princess, you are finally back." Li Chun hurried to greet her.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Jiang Ningwan came to the room. Qin Shuangchi was already waiting for her. There was food prepared on the table, all of which were her favorites.

"How is your internal injury? Are you taking the medicine on time?" Qin Shuangchi asked with concern.

"Don't worry, it's almost healed."

We had been traveling for such a long time and had hardly eaten anything on the road, so we were already hungry. When we saw the delicious food, we couldn't help but eat it with relish.

Qin Shuangchi silently served her a bowl of soup and said, "Eat slowly."

While eating, Qin Shuangchi said, "Duke Ling's Mansion has sent people to ask several times in the past two days, wanting to know when you will be back. Let's go see them tomorrow when we have time."

"That's good. I've been away for so long and I don't know how everyone is doing."

Qin Shuangchi replied: "Everything is fine, don't worry."

"There's some bad news coming from Dayan."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked up in confusion, "What news?"

Qin Shuangchi said in a heavy tone: "The Great Yan Emperor has fallen ill from poisoning, and the Second Prince is suspected of patricide and is wanted."

Jiang Ningwan was shocked. "What? Xie Chenyuan killed his father?"

"Isn't he the most favored prince? How could he kill his father? Could he be framed?"

Qin Shuangchi nodded thoughtfully, "Based on my understanding of Xie Chenyuan, he certainly wouldn't do such a thing."

"Besides, the emperor values ​​him so much that he has no reason to kill his father."

"The only strange thing is that this wanted order was issued by the emperor himself. Xie Chenyuan might be in danger."

They can't help with Dayan's affairs.

But Shen Lanyi is Xie Chenyuan's sister, and they have a very deep relationship. If something happens to Xie Chenyuan, Shen Lanyi will not sit idly by.

Shen Lanyi's intelligence organization must be more informed than them. They must have known about this matter a long time ago. I wonder how anxious they must be now.

"I will go see Shen Lianyi tomorrow after I report to the palace."

Qin Shuangchi nodded and picked up some food for her, "Let's eat first."

……

Morning next day.

Jiang Ningwan also went to the palace to report.

He submitted a memorial to accuse Lu Lingsong.

In order to save Lu Qingheng, Lu Lingsong wanted to capture her in exchange.

Even after she returned to the camp seriously injured, he bribed the military doctor to accuse her of treason.

Although she didn't know whether the emperor would favor Lu Lingsong, she wrote down all the injustice and grievances she had suffered without reservation.

After reading it, the emperor looked serious, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Qin Beihuang had already submitted a memorial, and Jiang Ningwan's words were consistent with Qin Beihuang's.

Throwing the memorial down heavily, the emperor said sternly, "Lu Lingsong!"

"I'm here." Lu Lingsong immediately stepped forward and knelt down.

"What do you have to say?"

"I have nothing to say." Lu Lingsong replied.

Because of Qingheng's death, he looked haggard, with stubble all over his face, and he looked old and sick, as if he had lost hope in everything and didn't even have the energy to defend himself.

The emperor frowned slightly, feeling disappointed.

This time he was given such an important task, but he messed it up.

"The battlefield defeat was due to your delay in military operations. Blaming Jiang Ningwan for Lu Qingheng's death is absurd! Considering the loss of your loved one, I will demote you one rank and allow you to reflect at home for a month."

"I obey your order!" Lu Lingsong accepted it calmly, his eyes dull.

Jiang Ningwan was not surprised by this result.

At least he was punished.

After the court was dismissed, Lu Lingsong left in a daze and went back to deal with Lu Qingheng's funeral.

Jiang Ningwan went to Yongning Palace to see Concubine Rong.

Now Concubine Rong is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces and is extremely busy.

"Ningwan, I heard that you were injured this time. I specially left some supplements and medicinal herbs for you. Please take them back." Concubine Rong said, and asked Cuiwei to bring the things.

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "Thank you, aunt."

"How's my cousin doing lately? I thought he was staying with my aunt in Yongning Palace."

Hearing this, Concubine Rong sighed helplessly: "He's already married, how can he come to me all day long?"

"A few days ago, I wanted to ask him and the princess to come and have dinner with me, but he made the excuse that he wasn't feeling well and didn't come. He used to come every few days, but now he hasn't been seen for more than ten days."

"I asked someone to find out. He and the princess...ah..."

Jiang Ningwan was puzzled, "What happened between him and the princess?"

Concubine Rong said in a heavy tone, "I heard that he and the princess are not on good terms."

"As a mother, it's not my place to interfere in their relationship."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, they both have extraordinary identities, and their marriage is not just a matter between the two of them.

Now that Dayan is in trouble again, they are probably in a mess too.

"Don't worry, auntie. My cousin is a steady man who knows his limits and won't cause any trouble."

Even if there is a real disagreement, they will protect each other's face.

Concubine Rong smiled and patted the back of her hand. "You are about the same age as Wen Li and the princess, so you should be able to get along well. Please help your aunt and see if there is any way to improve their relationship."

"They've been married for so long, but they only came to offer me tea on the second day of their marriage. I saw the princess once, but I haven't seen her since."

“I just wanted to do something, but I didn’t have the chance.”

Jiang Ningwan nodded in agreement, "I'll do my best."

After leaving Yongning Palace, Jiang Ningwan went to Qin Wenli's bedroom, but learned that the third prince and the third princess were not there.

The maid said, "The Third Prince hasn't returned to the palace for several days. I don't know where he is."

Jiang Ningwan felt a little worried. Where did these two people go?

After leaving the palace, she wanted to go to the Ling family to ask Ling Chaowen first, but just as she got on the carriage to set off, a servant came running over.

He’s a guy from Jinghong Pavilion.

He saluted and said, "General Jiang, our master asks you to come over."

"Where is she?"

"Jinghong Pavilion."

"Okay, I'll go right away." She just wanted to find Shen Lianyi.

When they arrived at Jinghong Pavilion, the waiter helped her get off the carriage and led her upstairs to Jinghong Pavilion.

In a shop across the street, Qin Wenli was sitting and drinking tea. He was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Ningwan.

How did she get here?

Going upstairs, Jiang Ningwan noticed some changes in Jinghong Pavilion. Shen Lanyi was drawing at the desk, and the scrolls and books piled around were a bit messy.

Every time I came here it was clean and tidy.

"The maid said you haven't returned to your bedroom for many days. Are you staying here all the time?"

Jiang Ningwan looked around and found that the furnishings were different from before. It seemed that a lot of things had been moved away and the place was empty.

Shen Lianyi looked a little haggard. When he put down his pen and raised his eyes, there was a dark spot under his eyes.

"sit down."

Jiang Ningwan walked to the table, but didn't know where to put her feet.

"What's going on between you and my cousin? You don't have to live here to avoid him, right?"
