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

Yan Huixue also felt that the voice was familiar, but still brought the person in front of Jiang Ningwan.

"Zhu Xingtian?"

A bearded man nodded repeatedly, "It's me, it's me!"

Jiang Ningwan signaled the soldiers to let him go, and after being released, Zhu Xingtian quickly took off the mask on his face.

"Why did you change your face again?" Jiang Ningwan waved her hand, signaling to let them enter the camp.

Zhu Xingtian quickly followed Jiang Ningwan, "I'm afraid that if I come to you rashly, Lu Lingsong will recognize me, so I changed my face just in case."

Jiang Ningwan was surprised, "Lu Lingsong?"

Zhu Xingtian nodded, then looked troubled again, "I came here to look for you in a hurry because of this."

"I might have messed up the task you gave me."

"As you instructed, we took advantage of the chaos to switch the coffins, but we didn't get far before Lu Lingsong caught up with us."

"I remembered what you said about not revealing my identity, so he stole the coffin. After he opened it and looked inside, he set it on fire, burning both the coffin and the body!"

This matter weighed heavily on his heart, and he had to explain it to Jiang Ningwan.

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was slightly surprised.

It turned out that the person who followed him secretly that day was Lu Lingsong.

If this is the case, then Lu Lingsong is now working for the emperor.

Coming back to her senses, Jiang Ningwan saw Zhu Xingtian looking worried, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be nervous. The coffin is burned, and there is only the body of a condemned prisoner inside."

In order to ensure the success of the plan, she did not reveal who was in the coffin, but only asked Zhu Xingtian to act according to her plan.

She had prepared two bodies of death row prisoners wearing Qin Shuangchi's masks in advance.

The coffin carried out of the Prince of Chu's Palace had a mechanism inside. There were two layers, one on the upper and one on the lower, containing Qin Shuangchi and a death row prisoner.

Because the emperor took a look at the coffin before leaving, Qin Shuangchi had to be carried out of the Prince of Chu's Palace and to the imperial mausoleum in the coffin.

If you want to replace him, you have to make some adjustments along the way.

Zhu Xingtian pretended to be a civilian funeral procession, carrying the death row prisoners, and the besieging killers were also from the Tianji Pavilion.

The whole thing is a drama.

Apparently the coffins had been switched in the confusion.

But in fact, the real Qin Shuangchi rolled out from the coffin when it overturned and mixed in with the bodies of the killers.

So the last two coffins were sent to two places, and they contained only the death row prisoners who had been disguised.

Qin Shuangchi, along with the killers, was loaded onto an ox cart and transported back to Ling Weijun.

Those killers were not dead either, they were just pretending.

The people who were following were all focused on the coffins. The appearance of two coffins would disrupt their vision and they would not notice the pile of corpses on the ox cart.

Zhu Xingtian was still confused. "The body of a death row prisoner? Why is that?"

Jiang Ningwan hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, "It's a long story. I'll explain it to you slowly later."

"If you have nothing else to do, go back first. Don't come looking for me recently. I will have someone send the reward to Tianji Pavilion as a reward for my brothers!"

When he heard there was a reward, Zhu Xingtian was sure that everything was fine.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back first. You can tell me if you have anything else to do!"

Zhu Xingtian then put on his mask again and left with his men.

Jiang Ningwan asked Yan Huixue to escort them for a while to ensure that no one else was following them.

Then he returned to the darkroom and saw that Qin Shuangchi had already drunk several bowls of porridge.

"Who is coming?" Qin Shuangchi put down the bowl and wiped his mouth.

"Zhu Xingtian, he said that the coffin was taken away by Lu Lingsong and set on fire."

"The one who wants to destroy the body should be the emperor. Lu Lingsong should be the emperor's man now."

Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi's eyes darkened.

"I should have thought of it earlier. Lu Lingsong's personality is abnormal. He has been dormant for so long without seeking revenge. It must be that someone is holding him down, and he cannot disobey this person's orders."

Jiang Ningwan nodded thoughtfully, "That's right."

"But it's not too late to know now. We can be on guard against him."

Qin Shuangchi then asked, "After I die, has the emperor mentioned the matter of appointing a crown prince? This position should belong to the third prince, right?"

Jiang Ningwan shook her head. "He hasn't said anything yet, but he probably won't go back on his word. A king's word is as good as gold. How can he go back on his word?"

"I just feel sorry for you."

Qin Shuangchi came back to his senses and was slightly startled, "Huh?"

Jiang Ningwan grabbed his hand and said, "You didn't have to fake your death. It was also to help my cousin. For the sake of the crown prince position, you will be dead in the eyes of the world for a long time to come."

This meant that he could not have his own identity and name for a long time.

Qin Shuangchi chuckled softly, with tenderness in his eyes, and raised his hand to tidy her hair.

"This is the best solution for now, isn't it?"

"If it can reduce the casualties in the fight for the throne, what's the point of me pretending to be dead temporarily?"

"Anyone would have chosen this."

Although he said so, Jiang Ningwan was still grateful in her heart.

"The new accommodation has been arranged. We will set off after dark."

Qin Shuangchi nodded and said, "Go back to the Prince Chu's Mansion after dark. Don't send me off, or I'll be targeted."

"Okay, Xiao Lan will come to pick you up later."

As long as he hides a little longer, the emperor will be completely relieved and Qin Shuangchi will be safe.

After dark, Xiao Lan brought his men to Lingwei Army and took Qin Shuangchi away.

They will arrange the rest of the journey.

Jiang Ningwan could not meet Qin Shuangchi for the time being, so after seeing them off, she returned to the Prince Chu's Mansion.

The Prince of Chu's mansion was filled with death. The mourning hall had been removed, but sadness permeated the entire mansion.

Lichun brought dinner, her eyes were red and she looked like she had been crying.

"Miss, please have dinner."

"From now on, I will accompany the young lady to eat, so it won't be lonely."

Jiang Ningwan smiled, pulled Lichun to sit beside her, and wiped the tears from her face. "Why are you crying? Do you still want me to comfort you?"

Li Chun's nose suddenly felt sore, and she couldn't help shedding tears, "Miss, are you too sad..."

"If you're sad, just cry it out. It'll be better if you cry for a while, but don't hold it in!"

Jiang Ningwan was amused. Seeing that there was no one outside the yard, she stood up and closed the door.

Then he took Li Chun and whispered, "The King of Chu is not dead."

"No..." Lichun blurted out in shock and quickly covered her mouth.

"Really?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded and patted her hands, "Really? I didn't lie to you!"

"But this secret cannot be revealed to anyone else, otherwise we will all die."

Li Chun nodded seriously and said, "I will keep my mouth shut! I will never let anyone else know!"

"So, Miss and the Prince can meet again? Our Chu Palace will not be disbanded?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "It won't disperse!"

"Let's eat first. The King of Chu is gone, and there are still many things to do in this palace."

Li Chun suddenly felt much happier and quickly served Jiang Ningwan a bowl of soup.

Although there are only the master and servant, and it is not as lively as before, it is still warm and not lonely.
