The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Beijing.

As the traitor was arrested, the situation in the court also changed dramatically.

As one of the only two adult princes of His Majesty, Li Jin has worked hard in the capital for many years and his power is deeply rooted.

However, this time the fact that An Ruohuai kept private soldiers was exposed, causing an uproar in the court and the country.

Although Li Jin denied it in the court, claiming that he knew nothing about what his uncle had done.

An Ruohuai also insisted that all this was his own idea and had nothing to do with Li Jin.

But as An Ruohuai was a relative by marriage, his fault was Li Jin's fault.

As Concubine An and Li Jin successively claimed to be sick and declined to see visitors, everyone realized that the Second Prince had completely lost his power and there was probably no chance of him ever turning things around.

The imperial guards surrounded the second prince's residence and guarded it strictly.

Inside the mansion, Li Jin was filled with rage and had no place to vent it, so he smashed everything that could be smashed in the room, leaving the floor in a mess. No one dared to step forward to dissuade him.

Li Jin finally stopped what he was doing until there was nothing left to smash in the room.

He gnashed his teeth, his eyes wide open, and muttered to himself, "Gu Mingzhao! It's Gu Mingzhao again! He always ruins my plans! I should have killed him with my own hands in the Dali Temple!"

Liao Wan'er, who had already married into the Second Prince's mansion, hurried over. Seeing Li Jin so angry, she stepped forward and hugged Li Jin's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Highness, please calm down! It is important to take care of yourself. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never run out of firewood..."

Li Jin was upset at the moment and could not hear these words of comfort at all.

He slapped Liao Wan'er in the face and shouted angrily, "We are both Liao family girls. Your cousin Liao Qinglan always helps that Gu guy out of danger! What else can you do besides crying? You can only hold me back!"

Liao Wan'er felt extremely aggrieved.

Every time Li Jin suffered a loss, it was because he lost more than he gained. What does it have to do with her?

But even though she thought so, she wouldn't dare to complain even if she had the courage.

Liao Wan'er could only sob softly, "It's all my fault that I'm useless. My father died when I was young, and no one taught me about court affairs. I can't help His Highness with his worries... I can only do my best to serve His Highness..."

Her tears flowed like beads from a broken string, and she looked very weak and helpless.

Li Jin only felt more annoyed when he saw this.

When he saw her being weak and charming in the past, he always felt pity for her. He liked the way Liao Wan'er depended on him.

But after getting married, everything went wrong. Not only did his wife's family background not help him at all, but she would just cry when something happened, which was really annoying.

He waved his hand to let Liao Wan'er leave, and he sat on the ground, looking back at the various changes that had taken place over the past year.

From a beloved prince to a prisoner, he couldn't understand how he ended up like this.

It all seemed to have started with Liao Qinglan's change of heart!

That bitch provoked him first, then fell in love with someone else, and went against him everywhere. She deserves to die!

It’s all Liao Qinglan and Gu Mingzhao’s fault!

However, even if he lost, those two wouldn't be considered winners!

Thinking of this, Li Jin suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was full of madness and despair.

The servants in the Second Prince's Mansion were all terrified when they saw this; they knew very well that their master was on the verge of madness.

We can only remind each other to be more careful in serving each other in the future.

In the residence of Grand Tutor Qin.

Old Madam Qin and Qin Yanran stood in front of the door, looking anxiously and expectantly at the carriage returning from afar.

The carriage stopped in front of the door, and as soon as the figure of Old Master Qin appeared, the two of them hurried forward to greet him.

"Master, you are finally back. Is there any news about King Qin returning to Beijing?" asked Old Lady Qin.

Although Qin Yanran didn't say anything, her eyes were full of anticipation.

She clenched the handkerchief tightly in both hands, trying to suppress her inner excitement.

Grand Tutor Qin walked into the hall, sat down and shook his head slowly: "Not yet. Although His Majesty has issued several imperial edicts urging him to return to the capital, he still hasn't left."

After hearing this, Madam Qin's expression changed slightly, and she asked worriedly, "Will the King of Qin anger His Majesty by doing this?"

Qin Taishi took a sip of hot tea and analyzed slowly, "From a woman's point of view, the King of Qin is playing a game with Your Majesty. On the one hand, he is testing Your Majesty's tolerance limit for him, and on the other hand, he is also waiting for a more generous reward. At present, he has succeeded."

"He is already the only king of a different surname in Dayin, what reward does he want?" Madam Qin was puzzled.

Qin Taishi put down his teacup, a gleam in his eyes: "Your Majesty intends to appoint him as regent."

When these words were spoken, both Mrs. Qin and Qin Yanran were shocked.

The position of regent has been a symbol of power since ancient times!

In the past, a regent would only be appointed when the king was seriously ill or a young emperor succeeded to the throne.

Li Zheng is currently in his prime, with two adult princes under his knees. How could he make such a decision...

Qin Yanran thought of a possibility and could hardly suppress her excitement: "Grandpa, could His Majesty be doing this because of what you mentioned before..."

"That's right!" Grand Tutor Qin laughed loudly, "Your Majesty intends to let the King of Qin inherit the throne. This position of regent is to pave the way for him."

Qin Yanran was delighted when she heard this, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously.

She lowered her head and her cheeks flushed, like a young girl missing her lover.

But then she thought of the obstacle between her and the King of Qin...

"Grandpa, how is that woman now?" Qin Yanran hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in her mind.

Master Qin waved his hand indifferently: "She's not dead yet, but she's almost dead."

"Not dead yet? Didn't they say she was seriously injured?" Old Madam Qin also understood that her granddaughter was asking about Liao Qinglan.

"It doesn't matter whether she's dead or alive. She's now a living dead. Even the imperial physician said that the hope of waking up is very slim. His Majesty has already mentioned to me that he intends to find another marriage for the prince."

Qin Yanran's eyes flashed with ecstasy: "Grandpa, you mean..."

"His Majesty originally had his eyes on you, but you were too reserved, unlike the girl from the Liao Mansion who used all her tricks to pester the King of Qin. This time you must seize the opportunity and perform well in front of the King of Qin."

After hearing this, Madam Qin also showed a happy expression, gloating and saying: "It is said that the Liao family is a noble family, but they actually raised such a seductive daughter, and she even followed him to the military camp. I am afraid she is no longer a virgin! This is bad, she got punished for being too close!"

"Yanran, you have been smart and clever since you were young. You have been growing up by my side. I have trained you according to the standards of a queen. When you marry the King of Qin in the future, you must be dignified and virtuous, so that His Majesty and the King of Qin can see that you have the bearing of a mother to rule the country."

"Yanran will follow Grandpa's teachings and will live up to your expectations."

Old Master Qin nodded with satisfaction.

"Master, don't worry!" Old Madam Qin interrupted with a smile, "Didn't the fortune teller say that our Yanran is a blessed girl with a noble destiny. Look at Liao, she encountered misfortune just after she got engaged to the King of Qin. Isn't this God's will? She doesn't deserve such great wealth, so she can only make room for our Yanran!"

"Madam, you are right!"

Old Master Qin was in a good mood recently. He chatted with them about family matters for a while, then got up and returned to his own courtyard.
