Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

"I'm curious, now that you're alone, how can you be sure that I won't regret it and take your lives after I know everything?" she asked.

Shen Han's pupils trembled.

Yes, to her, she is also a complete villain.

"Because you are Jiang Qingyu, behind your cruelty lies kindness."

"Hehehe..." This made her laugh. "Kind? How can someone who loves his father be kind?"

Shen Han had to admit that Jiang Qingyu was now unpredictable to her and made her feel scared.

Seeing this, she said frankly again, "This is my only solution. Without your consent, His Majesty's hunting order will continue. I can't escape. It's nothing more than a gamble with my life."

She slightly widened her eyes, and instead of the mockery just now, there was a hint of admiration in her expression, "Haha, I always admire people who throw everything away and risk their lives."

"I can agree to this." Her smile disappeared from her face in an instant. "That depends on whether the bargaining chips you offer can impress me."

"I know the cause of your mother's death, and the conspiracy behind Jiang Zhuo's involvement in the party struggle."

Noticing her slightly changed expression, Shen Han continued, "I think you already know the real murderer of your mother. It is indeed Zheng Linhan. Let me tell you, the princess, the story behind it."

The story goes back ten years ago.

The prosperous dynasty Bei'anshi had brilliant achievements in several battles in those years, and its reputation was resounding to the sky. No one was invincible. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and guarded this peace together.

The neighboring countries were afraid of Bei Anshi's power and offered gifts and marriages to the late emperor one after another. Among them was Princess Zheng Linhan of Xizhou. However, Zheng Linhan was defeated among many outstanding candidates.

She would never be willing to live in humiliation, so she tried her best to make friends with powerful princes and officials.

Among them was Jiang Zhuo, because she learned that the prince he assisted was Xiao Yanzhou.

Everything was hidden well, just one night.

Zheng Linhan accidentally found an opportunity to meet at Jiang's house and discuss plans with Jiang Zhuo.

"I don't like to know too much, and I never get close to Jiang Zhuo when he is discussing matters. For someone like me who has little influence, knowing too much will only cost me my life."

"But the princess's mother is not like that. She was caught eavesdropping outside and must have heard something important."

"I heard the noise, so I went over quietly. I heard Zheng Linhan in the inner room ordering Jiang Zhuo to get rid of her. Jiang Zhuo thought she was useful and wanted to keep her."

"But Zheng Linhan was determined to kill her. After all, it was a capital crime for a concubine to form a clique with an official, and she didn't dare to take the risk, so Jiang Zhuo asked someone to kill her."

After hearing this, the story about the cause of Jiang Qingyu's mother's death also came to an end. There was no fierce fight to the death, and she just disappeared peacefully from the world.

"Is this going to cost her her life?" Her pupils froze in shock, anger and grief finally curled up into a ball in her heart.

Shen Han raised his lips, and his smile became more bitter. "That's the fact. Even if you are a royal relative, if you don't have power, you are no better than an ordinary person."

She remained silent for a moment, adjusting her heavy breathing, and Shen Han did not rush to speak.

Until she motioned, "Go ahead."

"it is good."

"That incident happened five years ago."

The years when the late emperor was seriously ill were the time when party struggles were most intense. Many princes participated in the competition. Among them, the candidate favored by the late emperor the most was Xiao Yanzhou, Xiao Yanqing's father.

But his father hardly put up any strong fight, so the princes' attention was all on Xiao Yanzhou.

Jiang Zhuo's assistance to Xiao Yanzhou was hidden in secret, and they hardly met each other, but during that year, they met more and more frequently.

She always felt that something big was going to happen, so she paid close attention to Jiang Zhuo's actions.

"Are you ready to start?" She heard what they were planning at the teahouse.

"Well, this is the last course of treatment. He won't last long. I have notified everyone to be prepared." Xiao Yanzhou made the decision.

"Yes, I'll follow your instructions." Jiang Zhuo on the opposite side lowered his head slightly.

"But what about the others? Do you plan to let them go or get rid of them?"

"Since he is the main culprit, keeping him alive will make him a useful pawn, but he must die."

"What if they don't listen to you?"

“There are ways to make them listen.”

Shen Han remembered that not long after this, the eunuch read out the imperial edict in front of the seriously ill late emperor, stating that the current Majesty would inherit the throne.

A month later, the late emperor died of illness, and then the two princes who were expected to rebel were dealt with together.

During the two months here, Xiao Wang's family was brutally persecuted, and several of Xiao Wang's friends were also killed. Finally, a fierce fire burned all traces.

Three years later, Prince Xiao returned with his father's soldiers and his younger brother. There was a fierce battle with heavy casualties. According to the investigation, the person he killed was the murderer's accomplice. Due to his strength and the evidence he provided, no one resisted.

Her indifferent expression became more solemn. The words Shen Han heard did not mention anyone's name, nor did they mention specific things to do, but the development of things left her guessing.

There is an unknown conspiracy behind the current emperor's succession to the throne.

"Was it not just Prince Xiao's family that was nearly wiped out at that time?" She didn't seem to have heard anyone mention it.

"Not only that, Xiao Wang's father was a general who led troops, and his good friend, the deputy general Zhao Jia, were also exterminated together. It is said that they happened to be together that day, but their reputation is naturally not as good as Xiao Wang's."

"But his father didn't participate in the fight, did he? Why is this the case?"

"I also find it very strange. As the commander-in-chief, Prince Xiao's father had no intention of participating in the fight and even wanted to stay away from the disputes. Why did he suffer such a crushing defeat?" Shen Han shook his head with emotion.

"This is all I know. As for the cause and effect, only the princess can find out for herself."

She lowered her brows and looked at the teacup in her hand. The people the clues pointed to at present were the two living princes and Brother Zhou.

After a moment of silence, she stood up and said, "I'll go see Brother Zhou later. You pick him up tonight."

Seeing this, Shen Han understood and knelt down, "Thank you, Princess."

She hadn't taken two steps when she heard Shen Han's voice, "Remember, take him away and never show up in front of me again. The next time we meet, I will kill you."

Having said this, he walked away.

She always felt that Shen Han's behavior was incomprehensible. She didn't love her husband or children, but only loved herself. She could ignore anyone, but now she was taking the risk to make a deal with her.

weirdo.

"Princess, has anything happened?" asked the guard who was waiting anxiously outside.

"Nothing, let's go to the palace."

The guard was suddenly startled, "Why don't you tell His Highness first?"

"Come back after you're done."

She was absent-minded while sitting in the carriage, as if things were developing in the direction she least wanted to see.

If Jiang Zhuo was unwilling to reveal the cause and effect behind the incident until his death, would the two princes tell him? Perhaps they were the murderers?

But she has no evidence, should she tell Yan Qing?

While her thoughts were wandering, she arrived at the palace and conveyed her intention to Xiao Yanzhou. Release Jiang Mo and Shen Han, and naturally follow her wishes, but she also cared about the reasons behind it.

"Xiao Yu, have you seen Shen Han?" Xiao Yanzhou noticed her expression.

She nodded.

"Did Xiao Yu know anything?"

"It's about mother." Her drooping eyelashes concealed some emotions, but when she met his gaze, she was also paying attention to the changes in his expression.

She saw his worry and emotions that she didn't understand, but he didn't say much, just comforted her.
