After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Liang Jiuan had just come out from Concubine Ning's place in Taining Palace. The two had just talked for a while when his mother pulled him to look at the portraits of those girls. He really had no interest and couldn't stand it anymore, so he found an excuse to slip away.

The indignant words of his mother still lingered in Liang Jiuan's ears, "Second brother is going to marry a concubine, what about you? You don't even have a main wife."

He didn't know if it was because he couldn't help but talk about it, but when he left Taining Palace and was walking on the road to the harem, he ran into his second brother's concubine, Princess Jialin.

Kang Miaoqing bowed to Liang Jiuan and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

Liang Jiuan bowed, "Princess Jialin is polite."

"Your Highness, you have come to pay your respects to Concubine Ning. I have heard that Your Highness is very filial and has a very deep relationship with Concubine Ning." Kang Miaoqing said with a smile.

"I just came to Taining Palace after paying my respects to the Saint. Is Princess Jialin questioning the relationship between me and the Saint?" Liang Jiuan frowned slightly.

If he accepted her words and the saint heard them, what would he think? Would he think that Liang Jiuan only recognized his biological mother and not her as his stepmother?

"How could that be? I just saw it and expressed my feelings casually." Kang Miaoqing explained with a little panic.

"Oh?!" Liang Jiuan looked at her with a smile.

She probably did it on purpose. Her pitiful appearance makes it easy for people to believe that she is just naive and did not do it unintentionally.

If you care about it, then it's just your own pettiness and it has nothing to do with her.

Unfortunately, he had seen his apprentice suffer at her hands, so he didn't really trust her.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, why would I be like this? It's just that I'm used to being free and unrestrained in the Chen Palace, so I just said it casually. I hope Your Highness doesn't mind." Kang Miaoqing said somewhat aggrievedly.

"Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Jing successively captured eleven cities in Peizhou of our Chen State, which is truly heroic. I really admire him." Kang Miaoqing lowered her head slightly with a little shyness and said in a soft voice.

"We, the women of Chen State, admire brave soldiers like Your Highness the most. How could we think of Your Highness like that?" Kang Miaoqing said in a tender voice, her voice getting lower and lower, revealing the delicate demeanor of a little girl.

Liang Jiuan did not comment on this. For Qi, he was recovering lost territory, but for Chen, it should be the hatred of losing a city.

He ignored Kang Miaoqing's pretense and replied calmly, "That would be the best."

Kang Miaoqing smiled sweetly, "Of course it is."

"I have heard that Your Highness has practiced calligraphy very well. It happens that I have just arrived in Qi State, and the words written on the plaque of the mansion are not to my liking. I wonder if I can have the honor to ask Your Highness to write an inscription for me?" Kang Miaoqing asked expectantly.

"This is against etiquette. The princess is my second brother's future wife. How can I just go to the princess's mansion where she is waiting to be married? My second brother's handwriting is also very good. The princess can ask him to write an inscription for her." Liang Jiuan replied reasonably.

Kang Miaoqing's face almost fell when she heard this.

"In that case, thank you, Your Highness Prince Jing, for your guidance. I was inconsiderate enough." Kang Miaoqing said while forcing a smile.

"I still have to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine, and then I'll leave." After Kang Miaoqing bowed, she left.

Liang Jiuan was about to leave when he saw a white handkerchief embroidered with orchids at his feet, with two small red words "Jia Lin" embroidered on it.

He looked at Kang Miaoqing's departing back, shook his head, and left.

Only the white handkerchief was left, blown by the wind and flying on the ground.

Liang Jiuan had some impression of Princess Jialin. She looked exactly like his apprentice's cousin. She must be the real person. How could there be such a similar person in the world?

That spring, she and Liu Yuefu fell into the water together.

The problem with Liu Yuefu's piano was probably caused by her.

But now she has transformed into the princess of Chen State.

Judging from this person's behavior, it seems that this is not some melodramatic family recognition drama, but rather he is a spy for another country.

However, he had no definite evidence and could not prove her identity as a spy, so he could not say anything.

After all, the State of Chen recognized her as the Princess of Chen, the biological sister of the King of Chen, and she was also listed in the royal jade book of Chen.

So, she is the real Princess Jialin of Chen State.

What's more, she is already married to the second prince.

I said, if I can't kill her in one breath, it will only cause me endless trouble.

After Liang Jiuan left, Kang Miaoqing walked out from the corner of a palace and looked coldly at the white embroidered handkerchief on the ground.

Didn't pick it up...

Kang Miaoqing looked coldly. This guy seemed difficult to deal with.

Kang Miaoqing remembered the letter she wrote to Yuan Da before leaving Chen State.

When one plan failed, she came up with another.

On the other hand, Liu Yuefu's investigation into the Huo family had made some progress.

Liu family, in Liu Yuefu's yard.

Liu Yuefu was resting in the pavilion, eating some cakes and fruits.

Ji Sheng hurried into the yard and went to the pavilion.

"Madam, the Huo family's affairs have been kept secret. I have been investigating for quite a while and finally got some clues." Ji Sheng said after hurriedly paying his respects.

"Although the Anyuan Marquisate killed the wife of the Anyuan Marquis' son, the Huo family case should have nothing to do with the Anyuan Marquisate."

After saying this, Ji Sheng's expression became more cautious, and he looked at the maids on both sides of Liu Yuefu.

Liu Yuefu knew what he meant, "You two can go down now."

Chuntao and Yueqing left the pavilion and went far away.

"Okay, they're gone, now you can talk." Liu Yuefu said.

Ji Sheng said seriously: "General Huo's case involves a wide range of people and is related to the harem."

"General Huo is a loyal minister, who is highly valued by the emperor. I believe my lady also knows that General Huo is one of the ministers chosen by the late emperor to take care of the emperor's young son. The emperor previously had a favorite concubine, Concubine Jin, who was a daughter of the Huo family and the elder sister of the wife of the prince of Anyuan. Concubine Jin is deeply loved by the emperor and has a good family background, character and appearance. The emperor wants to make Concubine Jin's son the crown prince." Ji Sheng said slowly.

"But the saint should have given birth to a legitimate son back then, right?" Liu Yuefu asked.

"That's right. After the saint gave birth to a legitimate eldest son, he was named the crown prince. The emperor wants to depose him and then enthronize him." Ji Sheng said.

This was the first time Liu Yuefu had heard of this, so she was inevitably surprised, "This..."

"Not long after the Huo family's accident, Concubine Jin's son drowned. Concubine Jin became estranged from His Majesty and lost her child. She became seriously ill and died soon after."

"At that time, Concubine Jin was the biggest competitor of today's Concubine Wan. I'm afraid the Wan family was involved in what happened to the Huo family."

"Should we continue to investigate the Huo family's matter?" Ji Sheng asked with some concern.

Liu Yuefu pondered for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Since it involves palace secrets, then forget it. There is no need to involve the Liu family."

"Father and brother are in the court and are also being dragged into the situation, surviving in the cracks. If we are not careful about this matter, the Liu family may be in trouble." Liu Yuefu said.

After saying this, she felt a little sad for a moment.

The general who was loyal to the emperor and served his country died in the midst of party infighting. The former dynasty and the harem have always been inseparable.

"Are there any descendants of the Huo family?" Liu Yuefu asked.
