With mixed feelings in his heart, seeing Nan Jingxing so heartbroken because of Jiang Xuan, Lu Linyi felt both distressed and a little jealous.

Alas, which girl can accept that the person she likes has another shadow hidden in his heart?

"I guess, maybe the Emperor of Beiling has some secret against Xiao Huan." Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "Think about it, as soon as the Jiang family master signed the contract, a group of soldiers rushed in and killed them all. Logically speaking, the main forces of the Nan family and the Lu family have gone to the battlefield, and Yujing City is left with only the city defense army. How can there be any extra soldiers to mobilize?"

After thinking it over and over again, the only one who can be mobilized at any time is probably the team of Yulin Cavalry around Emperor Beiling.

“The emperor… is also involved?” As soon as these words came out, Nan Jingxing’s tall figure shook violently.

At this moment, he really wanted to kill Emperor Beiling and Xiao Huan.

"Only in this way can the story make sense. Emperor Beiling coveted the Jiang family's money, so he acquiesced to Xiao Huan's bloody deeds and even lent him a team of soldiers.

When Xiao Huan was reported to the Queen Mother, in order to save his life, he threatened the Emperor of Beiling with the truth. The Emperor of Beiling was afraid that the Queen Mother would know that he was also involved, and that his throne might be in jeopardy. So he went through great pains to persuade the Queen Mother to change the death penalty to exile and imprisonment.

Jiang Xue strung the entire incident together according to the most likely logic.

In order to swallow the fat piece of meat of Jiang family, Emperor Beiling really racked his brains and finally succeeded.

"Jingxing, this is all the inside information I knew back then. At that time, I had just returned from Putuo Temple with the Empress Dowager, and I had no idea who your fiancée was. So, I'm sorry that I've waited until now to let you know the truth."

What Xiao Zhan said was the truth. Even to Nan Jingxing, he had only met him at Putuo Temple. He only knew that he had a fiancée, but he didn't ask much about who she was.

He also discovered the name Jiang Xuan by chance when he was browsing the files of Linglong Pavilion these days.

"Your Highness is willing to tell me the truth, Jingxing is already very grateful." The voice was low and sad, and the clenched teeth revealed Nan Jingxing's repression and endurance at the moment.

Just now, he was still struggling over whether or not to kill Xiao Huan. Now, knowing the whole story, he has made up his mind.

"Your Highness, Princess, it is my Nan Jingxing's responsibility to deal with Xiao Huan." He made up his mind, bowed his head and saluted, and said solemnly to Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan.

"Don't be anxious, General Nan. Xiao Huan is a prince after all. It will not be good for us to touch him casually. To deal with him, we need a comprehensive plan, and it would be best if we don't have to do it ourselves." Jiang Xue said.

She has a plan in mind for these things, and she won't act rashly on things she's not sure of, otherwise, if she implicates the people she cares about, it would be a big loss.

Xiao Zhan patted Nan Jingxing's arm with a serious look in his eyes, "Xiaoxue is right, brother, you have made a good decision, but we have to take it slow and have a foolproof plan. If the Nan family and the Lu family are involved, it will be a big loss for our palace and Changle."

"How long do we have to wait?" Nan Jingxing asked while naturally holding Lu Linyi's hand. Time was not abundant for the two of them.

The warmth flowed from her palm into her heart, and Lu Linyi's sour heart, which had just been tangled, was instantly soothed. He cares about me, she thought secretly in her heart.

"It won't take too long, trust me, this cancer can be removed soon." Jiang Xue replied. Three years is not short, but it is not long either.

Besides, could Xiao Yan really wait for three years? Looking at his actions, she didn't believe that guy had such patience.

Therefore, the sooner Xiao Huan, this time bomb, is dealt with, the better, to avoid any more trouble.

A few days later, Jiang Xue went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother and chatted with her for a long time before coming out of Luanyi Hall.

"These days, thanks to your company, Princess, the Queen Mother didn't feel lonely." Mo Yan praised with a smile when seeing Jiang Xue off.

Over the years, apart from Prince Gong and Prince An who occasionally came to pay their respects, no one else was willing to come. Even the Emperor, who was raised by the Empress Dowager, seldom came.

Although the queen mother was quite content with having two grandsons to keep her company, she was a man after all, and sometimes it was a little inconvenient to say something intimate. Fortunately, with Jiang Xue, the queen mother finally found someone to talk to.

Whenever Princess Gong was free, she would come to chat with the Empress Dowager to relieve her boredom. The Empress Dowager liked her from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing the empress dowager full of energy and radiant every day, Mo Yan was very happy and praised Jiang Xue highly.

"Madam Mo Yan, you are too polite. Accompanying the Queen Mother is Changle's job." Jiang Xue smiled lightly and said gently.

"Hey, you little dog slave, don't you even look at the road when you walk?"

Just as they were chatting excitedly, the garden in front suddenly exploded with sharp curses one after another. Jiang Xue and Mo Yan turned their heads at the same time and looked out through the carved windows in the garden.

I saw a lady standing there, wrapped up tightly, wearing a cloak and a veil, looking coldly at her maid scolding a little girl.

"It's her again? How can she be so loud and shouting in the palace?" Mo Yan complained in a low voice and cast a dissatisfied look at the lady.

"Mammy, who is that?" The lady was wrapped so tightly that not even her outline could be seen.

"Princess Qinwen. She likes to come here a lot recently. I don't know what she's thinking. She's obviously injured and the imperial physician has warned her not to move, but she won't listen." Mo Yan explained.

It turns out to be the black plum flavor, no wonder it is wrapped like a rice dumpling.

"Mammy, is there anyone living here? Princess Qinwen was seriously injured, but she insisted on coming here?"

Strangely, in the middle of the garden, there appeared a small house that Jiang Xue had never seen before. It seemed to have been recently built, and she didn't know what it was used for. Jiang Xue pointed at the house and asked Mo Yan curiously.

"Oh, that." Mo Yan looked at Jiang Xue, hesitated, and decided to tell her: "The Suo Xin Pavilion that was burned down by His Royal Highness Prince Duan was dismantled and rebuilt. The Queen Mother said that she wanted to use it to offer Buddha blessings and save the souls of the dead."

As he spoke, he paid attention to Jiang Xue's expression.

Hearing this, Jiang Xue felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "The Queen Mother really has good intentions."

Her eyes were filled with gratitude towards the Queen Mother. She bowed slightly to Mo Yan and said, "Mammy, please go back and convey Changle's gratitude to the Queen Mother for me."

"I will do as you say." Mo Yan rarely smiled. The Queen Mother's kindness was not in vain. It was really comforting that Princess Gong was so grateful.

After Mo Yan left, Jiang Xue turned and walked towards the garden where Wu Meifeng was.

The cursing continued and became louder and louder. The little girl kneeling on the ground was trembling with fear, her forehead pressed against the ground, and the back of her head was being stepped on by Wu Meifeng's maid.

"What's going on?" Before Jiang Xue walked into the garden, Xiao Huan's low voice came from inside.

Then there was the sound of a wheelchair rolling.
