EBE Chapter 126 No Peace
Chapter 126 No Peace
Government Hall.
Emperor Jianning was hunched over his desk, reading a memorial. A eunuch came in and whispered something in his ear. Emperor Jianning paused and asked, "Is it coming out again?"
"Exactly. I heard that the Queen Mother was very angry. When Concubine Jiang came out, her eyes were red. She must have been wronged."
Emperor Jianning chuckled: "It seems that the Queen Mother dislikes Prince Yan, and even Concubine Jiang dislikes him."
The eunuch brought tea and said with a smile: "Now, Your Majesty can rest assured."
Emperor Jianning glanced at him indifferently, and Eunuch Feng immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I said something wrong."
"It's okay. You've been with me for many years, so I naturally trust you. Get up."
Eunuch Feng stood up tremblingly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Emperor Jianning asked casually, "How is Prince Yan doing lately?"
"Your Majesty, there has been no movement since he entered the imperial prison."
"Didn't you say anything about being wronged?"
"Your Majesty, I have never said that."
Emperor Jianning put down what he was holding, not knowing what he was thinking.
"You said that the King of Yan secretly harbored the rebels. Is this true?"
Eunuch Feng smiled fearfully, "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. How could I possibly know about this?"
Emperor Jianning was not angry at all, but laughed heartily. "You've been by my side for many years, and you haven't even learned this?"
Eunuch Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "This old servant is stupid."
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Go and call Xiao Yinnan to me."
Eunuch Feng reminded: "Your Majesty, you forgot that General Xiao has been unwell these days and is recuperating at home."
Emperor Jianning had indeed forgotten and waved his hand, "Forget it."
......
Jiang Nian stayed in the Queen's Palace for a few days, but there was no news about the punishment of Prince Yan.
There is good news, she can meet the Lin family.
I don't know what His Majesty was thinking, but he suddenly stopped monitoring the Lin family and gave the house that was previously arranged to them, but he didn't mention the crime of treason more than ten years ago.
There is no definite answer as to whether he will be punished or not, or whether he is guilty or not.
No one in the court knew what His Majesty was thinking, so they could only do as he was told.
She heard that His Majesty had issued an edict that although Prince Yan was imprisoned, other people in Prince Yan's mansion would not be implicated, so she didn't have to stay in the palace any longer.
Now that the Crown Prince and Xiao Yinnan had no time to deal with her, she just happened to leave the palace to meet the Lin family.
The Queen personally sent someone to escort her out of the palace. Before leaving, she was worried: "You must be careful. If Yu'er doesn't see you when he comes back, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, my lady. I will be careful."
Some things are now almost exposed. His Majesty will not let the Lin family go for no reason, but no matter what the intention is, she has to go.
After coming out of the palace, Jiang Nian found a teahouse and sat for a while. People were hurrying downstairs, but she knew that there were many people outside watching her.
So she sat by the window so they could see her.
He looked back at Amber, who nodded slightly and took a cloak exactly the same as the one Jiang Nian was wearing now and put it on.
Jiang Nian slowly stood up and sat back down after a while.
Jiang Nian turned to the corner of the room, where there was a secret door leading to another room. Jiang Nian went in calmly.
Someone was already waiting for her next door. It was Ye Shaohui, who was beside Prince Yan.
Ye Shaohui had been at the border and had just returned a few days ago. He shouldn't have appeared in front of everyone, but when the Prince Jin's Mansion was raided a few days ago, Ye Shaohui couldn't help himself.
However, he rarely appeared outside, and many people did not recognize him. When Prince Yan got into trouble, he happened to be away.
Ye Shaohui stepped forward and bowed: "Madam."
"No need to be so polite. Tell me quickly, what exactly is the King of Yan planning?"
Ye Shaohui didn't know what he was thinking, and hesitated and said: "Your Highness... has no plans."
Jiang Nian thought he had misheard, "What?"
"Madam, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan said that life and death are determined by fate. If the king wants his subjects to die, they must die. This time, he has no other choice."
Jiang Nian was shocked.
Shouldn't he be cautious and careful in every step, and appear to be in the imperial prison, but actually have everything under control?
Such words really don't sound like coming from the mouth of the King of Yan.
"you sure?"
Ye Shaohui nodded: "This is what His Highness said himself, Madam. His Highness said that if he dies, he will let you remarry and you don't have to wait for him. You are still young and have a long way to go in the future."
Jiang Nian was so angry that he laughed. This King of Yan really didn't play by the rules.
"Did he tell me what he needed me to do?"
Ye Shaohui shook his head: "No, His Highness just said, don't put yourself in danger for him."
To be honest, she didn't believe what King Yan said at all.
According to King Yan's temper, he would not say such words. Even if he was in such a situation, he was not the kind of person who would wait for death obediently.
Jiang Nian didn't understand and asked several times, but Ye Shaohui's answer was always the same.
Jiang Nian didn't know what King Yan was going to do next, but waiting to die was definitely not an option.
Looking at Ye Shaohui, he said, "Tell him that I'm pregnant with his child. If he dies, I'll make his child call someone else his father and take someone else's surname. He won't be able to rest in peace in the underworld."
Ye Shaohui was stunned and immediately bowed: "Yes."
When Amber returned to the room, she had already drunk two cups of tea. Seeing someone come back, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them came down from upstairs, got on the carriage and headed towards where the Lin family currently lived.
When General Lin died, the Lin family should have been in mourning, but because they were under surveillance in the capital and no one was there to take care of the matter, they never held a funeral.
Now that I am finally free, I can finally wear mourning clothes.
When Jiang Nian arrived, there was no one outside, so he went up and knocked on the door.
When Mr. Lin heard that Jiang Nian was coming, he had no time to be sad and hurried to welcome him.
"Niannian, why are you here?" the second son of the Lin family asked in surprise.
At this time, anyone who gets involved with the Lin family will suffer a hard time, so they can't come.
"Second uncle, we are a family, how can I not come?"
"But what time is it now? If you come here, you will be targeted."
Jiang Nian smiled indifferently: "Uncle, don't worry. Even if I didn't come, I would have been targeted a long time ago."
The Lin family is her maternal family. Even if she didn't come, those people would not let her go. There is also the King of Yan, so it is better for her to come and take a look. This is human nature. If she doesn't come, it will be more deliberate.
"Second uncle, let's go in and talk first."
When the women of the Lin family heard that there were guests at home, they all went back to their rooms and tried to avoid seeing the guests if possible.
But when they heard it was Jiang Nian, they all came to the front hall.
"Niannian." Before the two aunts arrived, a voice came from outside. They hurried over and held Jiang Nian's hand.
The two looked at her lovingly: "You are growing up every year."
It has been more than a year since she returned to Beijing. She has grown a year older and got married. She has indeed grown up.
