After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Chapter 169: Yue State launched a surprise attack, and the Qi army was defeated and retreated, and n

Seeing this, Ye Ling leaned over and replied.

"After Prime Minister Wen chose Concubine Yan, the assassins lying in ambush jumped out and surrounded Prime Minister Wen and his companions.

Prime Minister Wen also brought people with him. He was originally very calm, but unexpectedly, Madam Wen suddenly burst into laughter, and the people Prime Minister Wen brought with him also turned against him..."

"So, it was Madam Wen who forced Prime Minister Wen to death?"

"That's right. Madam Wen had someone force-feed him poisoned wine, but then she announced to the public... Prime Minister Wen died saving his wife..."

Hearing this, Shen Changle took a breath.

I leaned back in my chair and woke up from a dream.

"Mrs. Wen, what a good plan..."

In this way, he not only served the royal family, but also saved his own face and protected his two children...

"correct!"

Shen Changle suddenly sat up straight, not knowing what he was thinking of, and asked in a low voice:

"Have you examined Wen Zhixue's body?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness! The leader of the personal guards has checked, and I have also secretly finished the job. There is absolutely no possibility of fake death!"

Only then did Shen Changle nod with relief.

"So good."

He looked at Baizhi again and ordered:

"Inform Mr. Yan of this news."

"Yes!"

Unexpectedly, before Bai Zhi left the house, the waiter came to report:

"Your Highness, Mr. Yan requests an audience."

Shen Changle signaled Ye Ling to leave before calling him in.

"pass."

Yan Zi entered and bowed politely.

"See Your Highness."

"Mr. Yan, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

Seeing him lift his robe and sit down, Shen Changle continued:

"I was just about to send someone to find you. I have some good news to tell you."

Yan Zijing hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked softly.

"I wonder if Your Highness is referring to the matter of Prime Minister Wen?"

Is he so well-informed?

Shen Changle couldn't hide his surprise.

"Mr. Yan knows?"

Yan Zi nodded respectfully and told the truth.

"I just received a letter from my aunt, requesting an audience with Your Highness, precisely for this very matter."

"Oh? What did Aunt Yan say in the letter?"

Yan Zijing didn't say much, but silently took out the letter and handed it to Bai Zhi.

Presented to Shen Changle.

Shen Changle opened it suspiciously, took a look, and his face changed.

"Aunt Yan...is leaving the capital?"

Yan Zijing lowered his eyes.

"I know that if I take revenge and leave, I will be doing my duty to the prince..."

But these are troubled times, and Auntie is all alone, without any skills to rely on... I am truly worried."

Shen Changle expressed his understanding and returned the letter to him.

"Go ahead. I will explain to the Emperor's uncle for you."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zijing stood up and kowtowed.

"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. Once I have settled my aunt, I will definitely return to repay the prince and your highness for their kindness and serve you with all my heart!"

"Well, let's go."

Yan Zi bowed respectfully and left, but Shen Changle was still confused.

When they first met, Yan Lan loved this nephew very much.

Now that revenge has been taken, shouldn't we celebrate together and enjoy family happiness?

Why did he insist on leaving Beijing without even seeing me?

Puzzled, she called upon the Night Spirit to appear.

"Ye Ling, when you saw Aunt Yan at the scene of the dispute, what did you think of her condition?"

Ye Ling leaned forward, clasped his fists, and answered truthfully.

"Reporting to His Highness, if my guess is correct... Concubine Yan has also been poisoned."

Poisoning?

Was it Prime Minister Wen who did it, or was it Madam Wen?

"Is it an acute poison?"

"Yes."

So it seems...it was Madam Wen who did it.

No wonder she wanted to leave the capital. She must have known she was poisoned...

Madam Wen is worthy of being the only daughter of Marquis Yong'an. She is ruthless and thoughtful!

It's really admirable.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Shen Changle was thinking about Madam Wen, so Madam Wen came to ask for a meeting.

"Your Highness."

She knelt as soon as she entered the room. She was wearing white mourning clothes, the light color did not show any sadness.

Shen Changle stood up and helped the man up personally.

"Aunt, please stand up."

Madam Wen slowly raised her eyelids, conveying the signal of success to her, and presented the title deed of the Prime Minister's Mansion with both hands.

"Your Highness, I have already sent the Prime Minister's golden seal and purple ribbon to the palace to return them to His Majesty. This land deed is presented to Your Highness."

Shen Changle was slightly stunned.

"Aunt, this land deed... My brother the Emperor didn't order the Prime Minister's residence to be confiscated. Why did you hand it over to me?"

Mrs. Wen lowered her eyelashes and told the truth:

“I dare not conceal from Your Highness that the evidence of Zhixue’s treason… has already been destroyed by this subject.

However, I made a serious mistake in my studies, and Your Majesty was lenient. I, your wife, cannot be ungrateful.

During this time of war, I am willing to offer all my wealth to Chengze and Chenglan so that they can live a worry-free life."

Shen Changle understood.

She was afraid that her brother, the emperor, would covet Prime Minister Wen's property and settle the score with him later, implicating her children, so she wanted to pack up and run away.

Although he was dissatisfied with her presumptuous speculation on the emperor's will, he also understood her painstaking efforts as a mother.

After pondering for a while, he finally took it.

"In that case, I will accept it on behalf of my royal brother. Have you decided where you are going?"

“To be honest with you, Your Highness, Chengze has always longed for the wandering life of his martial arts master.

I plan to find a beautiful mountain villa to live in seclusion, let Chengze live the life he wants, and raise Chenglan well.

Shen Changle looked at the peace and indifference in her eyes and said no more.

Just nodded slightly.

"Have you decided when to leave?"

"tomorrow."

"In such a hurry? Aren't you going back to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to stay for a few days?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wen sneered.

"After my parents passed away, my uncle inherited the title of marquis. Going back... would only cause them trouble, so I won't go back."

"All right……"

It's sad to say.

The only daughter of Marquis Yong'an, this title sounds nice when it is said out loud.

But if I can't keep the family property, I will end up like this, and in the end I won't even have my family to support me...

Looking at Mrs. Wen in plain clothes and with a depressed look on her face, Shen Changle didn't know what to say to comfort her.

I can only wish her: "A safe journey."

"Thank you, Your Highness. You are pregnant, so please have a good rest. I will take my leave."

Shen Changle watched her leave without asking whether she had anything to do with Aunt Yan's poisoning.

Everyone has his own cause and effect.

Although Yan Lan is also pitiful, she feels guilty towards Madam Yu Wen.

She had no right to interfere in the feud between the three of them.

She withdrew her gaze and handed the deed to the Prime Minister's Mansion to Bai Zhi, asking her to hand it over to Shen Changning personally.

Heart sigh:

Finally, the Prime Minister's faction was brought down, and she no longer needed to do the remaining work of cleaning up the faction's followers.

However, just when Shen Changle thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief and take good care of her pregnancy...

But urgent news came from the border -

The State of Yue launched a surprise attack, and the Qi army was defeated step by step, and has now lost two cities in a row.

The people were in panic and the dynasty was in turmoil.

Even the emperor's uncle has not returned home for many days.

Shen Changle urged Ye Mei to speed up the development of the thunder bomb.

Even so...

Still too late!

That night, Shen Changle was tossing and turning because of her pregnant belly.

A gust of snow and wind pushed open the doors and windows.

She felt a chill, and after lifting the curtain to look over, she saw...

Jiang Ci'an was shivering in the cold, enduring the wind and snow, standing at the door against the light.

His iron armor was solemn, and his face was hidden from the snow, so his expression could not be seen clearly.

Shen Changle sat up, holding her stomach, and called his name softly with half joy and half fear.

"Farewell?"
