Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 236: Change a candidate

Helian Qi, who was interrupted, frowned slightly when he saw Jun Jiuchen speak.

The five years of fighting in Mobei made him naturally wary of Jun Jiuchen.

Would he be so kind?

Unless the sun rises from the west.

But having said this, he had no choice but to suppress his doubts for the time being.

"Oh? I wonder who this person the Regent is talking about..."

Jun Jiuchen curled up his lips into a nice smile, but did not answer Helian Qi immediately.

Instead, he shifted his gaze to Song Yi first.

"Prime Minister Song is injured. Miss Jiang, please push him aside to rest first." Then he continued.

"Come here, have Grand Tutor Shangguan bring up the Crown Princess I've chosen for Crown Prince Helian."

When Helian Qi heard Shangguan Yu's name, his brows furrowed even more.

Of course he knew Shangguan Yu.

Before Jun Jiuchen appeared, he and the deceased Duke of Ying were the people who caused him and his father the most distress.

Before today, he was still thinking that perhaps he was the biggest obstacle to proposing to Su Ling'er today. Who knew that he didn't even show up. Jun Jiuchen suddenly mentioned him at this time, which made him wonder if the two of them had already dug a trap for him, waiting for him to jump into it.

Just when Helian Qi's heart was filled with alarm and everyone in the court was confused, Shangguan Yu and a woman appeared in the hall.

When he saw the woman, Helian Qi's eyebrows jumped suddenly.

The woman's belly was bulging, and her face looked visibly haggard...

If it’s not Shen Jiahe, then who else could it be?

When Shen Jiahe was brought up, he seemed to be a little frightened and struggling.

But when her gaze fell on Helian Qi's face, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Prince.

It's the prince!

Had he finally come to save her and their child?

But Helian Qi just frowned and looked at her, then quickly looked away.

"Your humble servant Shangguan Yu greets Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

While Shen Jiahe was stunned, the two servants who had escorted her in, forced Shangguan Yu to kneel down together.

correct.

In such an occasion, the prince naturally could not recognize her, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiahe bowed to the empress dowager and the little emperor, and said sadly with a bit of grievance.

"Greetings to His Majesty, and to the Queen Mother!"

Su Jinyue hadn't seen Shen Jiahe for a long time. Seeing her pregnant and haggard, she felt a little sorry.

It was she who personally issued the imperial decree for Jiahe to marry into the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, but who knew... that the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was full of corruption and ended up harming her.

Although she had personally requested this marriage, she felt somewhat guilty when she thought about how she had taken care of her mother and sister, but she could not help her at the critical moment.

In her opinion, Jiahe was not directly involved in the crimes committed by the Ningyuan Marquisate, and no one would say anything if she let her go.

Unfortunately, the Regent was extremely unkind in this matter. He insisted on detaining Jiahe and letting her give birth to the unborn child to confirm that it was not the bloodline of Marquis Ningyuan.

but……

Didn’t the Regent just say that he would choose another noble lady for the Crown Prince of Mobei?

What was he doing with Jiahe at this time?

Thinking of this, Su Jinyue asked Shen Jiahe to stand up with some worry and confusion.

Jun Jiuchen's voice also rang out.

"Princess Jianing, your husband's family, the Ningyuan Marquisate, committed a crime of deceiving the emperor, and their entire family has been imprisoned. Now, I have a chance to atone for their sins."

"Prince Helian sincerely wishes to marry a noblewoman from our dynasty. His heart is commendable. Are you willing to marry into the Mobei region once again and become the Crown Prince's consort?"

When Shen Jiahe heard the words "Crown Princess", his eyes suddenly lit up.

Did the prince really come for her?

and.

Not the Crown Prince's Consort, but the Crown Princess...

It was what she originally wanted.

This unexpected surprise made Shen Jiahe's heart almost jump with joy.

But before she could say yes, Helian Qi couldn't wait to interrupt their conversation, with suppressed anger in his tone.

"What does the Regent mean?"

"Is this the candidate you chose for me who is more suitable for the Crown Princess than Miss Su Er?"

Jun Jiuchen just slowly turned the black jade ring on his hand and spoke very clearly.

"Exactly!"

"Why, is Prince Helian dissatisfied?"

Helian Qi glanced at Shen Jiahe when he heard this, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly.

"Satisfied? A woman who was once married to my father, the Khan, but escaped from Mobei during the chaos, and is now pregnant with an unknown child. The Regent thinks... I should be satisfied?"

"Just now, Prime Minister Song kept talking to us about etiquette and law. Now, the Regent is using a woman like this to humiliate me. Are the words of law and etiquette that you, Tianqi, use only to discipline others?"

"From the beginning to the end, the only one I've ever wanted to marry is Miss Su Er!"

Hearing Helian Qi's merciless words, Shen Jiahe, who was already agitated by the word "Crown Princess", also looked a little ugly.

Besides, who was the prince talking about just now?

Miss Su Er.

He asked to marry Su Ling'er as the Crown Princess?

Why?

Shen Jiahe's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Su Jinyue entered the palace on her behalf, and now she has obtained the position of empress dowager, surpassing her and enjoying unlimited glory.

Now her even more insignificant sister... is actually going to surpass her?

Why?

She is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion!

When Shen Jiahe was filled with indignation, Jun Jiuchen had already responded to Helian Qi's words.

"Prince, please be patient. I am doing this for your own consideration."

"Princess Jianing was the most outstanding of the noble ladies personally selected by the Crown Prince and the late Emperor three years ago. She is one in a million in terms of status, appearance, and talent..."

"Furthermore, in terms of closeness, she is also the Queen Mother's cousin, and the Queen Mother treats her very kindly, not much less so than Second Miss Su. Replacing Second Miss Su with her can also strengthen the alliance between the two countries."

"As for the fact that she was once married to your father, the Khan... that's even simpler. Isn't it a tradition in Mobei for sons to inherit their father's wife? If that's the case... why can't she be the Crown Princess?"

Helian Qi was almost laughing at Jun Jiuchen's shamelessness.

"Why not?"

"Does the Regent think I'm a fool?"

"She was clearly married after returning to the capital, and now she's been convicted because of her husband's family. The origin of her unborn child is unknown."

"How can a woman like this be worthy of being the future mother of Mobei!"

Jun Jiuchen ignored Helian Qi's anger and continued speaking calmly.

"Oh? It seems that Prince Helian is quite concerned about Princess Jianing and has learned everything about her since she arrived in the capital."

Then, he leaned forward slightly, looked at Helian Qi, and lengthened the ending tone.

"But... a child of unknown origin?"

"Prince, are you sure you don't know who this child's biological father is..."
