princess regent lifted from her grave

Nangong Jin looked at her sister's little devil-like expression and smiled helplessly, with a doting voice.

"Sister, there are ten guards beside the second uncle. Three of them have extremely high martial arts skills. Even I am no match for them. If we deal with the second uncle, we need to think carefully and don't act rashly."

Erya nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, I won't act without authorization. I guess the second uncle will come because he must have gotten Nangong Ying's letter and knows about my existence. He is afraid that my existence will ruin his daughter's good deeds."

"Well, according to what I know about my second uncle, this man is extremely cruel. If he knows of your existence, he will either destroy him to avoid future troubles or recruit him to be used by him. No matter how he wants to act, eldest brother will definitely protect you. , I won’t give him a second chance to hurt you.”

Erya felt warm in her heart and said with a smile, "Brother, I will also protect you. I will definitely not let him hurt us brother and sister again."

Nangong Jin looked at his sister's concerned eyes with a smile on her face.

Erya thought of Nangong Ying who had escaped, and continued, "Brother, I didn't expect that Nangong Ying would escape and ask for help."

Nangong Jin said indifferently, "This is not surprising. Nangong Ying has been thoughtful and smart since she was a child. Her appearance is not bad, and the man holding the child is remarried, so she will cherish it a little. Nangong Ying must have taken advantage of her. He escaped when he relaxed. If not for this, we would not have known that the second uncle had arrived in the Holy Capital City."

As for whether Nangong Ying would be taken back by the man or rescued by her second uncle, they no longer cared.

What Erya and Nangong Jin have to deal with now is their second uncle and the ten guards around him.

The two of them had previously discussed how to go to Phoenix Village to take revenge. Now that the second uncle came to the Holy Capital in person, it saved them the trouble of going to Phoenix Village.

Imperial Palace Fengyi Palace

In the warm spring-like palace, Mu Fengyan caressed her abdomen with one hand and enjoyed the fruit that Ah Jue had cut for her with her own hands, while listening to the guard's report with relish.

Ye Lijue, who was sitting aside, was always paying attention to Yan'er's situation.

When Mu Fengyan heard what happened at Prime Minister Zhao's house, she wondered, "Are you saying that Prime Minister Zhao drove his daughter to a suburban manor?"

"Yes, Madam, Zhao Yuan is going with his daughter. Zhao Yuan originally wanted to marry into the family, but was eventually rejected by Prime Minister Zhao. Now he is sent to the manor by Mrs. Zhao."

Ye Lijue said coldly, "Do you know what Zhao Yuan's purpose is?"

"Back to the emperor, Zhao Yuanyan made it clear about the marriage, and even mentioned that he would obtain a meritorious service and join the court as an official in the future. It seems that he wanted Prime Minister Zhao to help."

Ye Lijue said nothing, while Mu Fengyan turned to look at Ye Lijue and analyzed,

"Ajue, it seems that Zhao Yuan is heading towards Prime Minister Zhao. It is obvious that Zhao Yunshang is being used by Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan does not hesitate to get married and wants to take advantage of Prime Minister Zhao's power. How could Prime Minister Zhao, an old fox, not see the secret behind this? , no wonder he was so angry and simply gave up on his beloved daughter. It was more because he was manipulated by the younger generation and he couldn't let go of his face."

Ye Lijue nodded slightly. He didn't care about the affairs of Prime Minister Zhao's house. Now Prime Minister Zhao is even more cautious in the court and protects his wings tightly. How could he allow anything that damages his reputation to happen? Even his biological daughter still gives up.

Mu Fengyan turned to look at the secret guard and continued to ask,

"I vaguely remember that there is another person staying at the Prime Minister's Mansion with Zhao Yuan?"

"Mother, there is another person named Zhao Jie. It was Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie who saved Prime Minister Zhao's children."

Mu Fengyan paused when she heard this. What seemed to flash through her mind? Too fast to catch.

She frowned and began to recall what the guard had just said,

‘Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie saved Prime Minister Zhao’s children. ’

The prime minister's children... Zhao Yuan, Zhao Jie.

Why did she suddenly think of Mu Zhiyuan and Mu Yingjie, but they were called Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie? She also remembered that Mu Yingjie's aunt's surname was Zhao. Could it really be such a coincidence?

However, if there are too many coincidences, it is intentional.

"Yan'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Lijue nervously looked at Yan'er's brows furrowed and motionless. He thought she had abdominal discomfort and was about to rush to the doctor. Mu Fengyan finally came back to her senses and hurriedly said,

"Ajue, I'm fine, I just thought of something."

Mu Fengyan looked apologetic. Ah Jue had been extremely worried about her heavy body these days.

Speaking of which, it was also my fault that the imperial doctors, especially the judges from Taiyuan Hospital, were too detailed in their explanations to Ah Jue.

She was told one by one about the various dangerous situations before the twins were born, which made Ajue, who was already nervous about her, even more nervous.

Perhaps the judge of Tai Hospital was too cautious and too honest in front of Ah Jue.

He copied almost all the dangers that might occur before the twins were born in the medical book and handed them over to Ajue. As a result, Ajue dared not fall asleep in those days and nights, and kept staring at her, and she moved slightly. The body made Ah Jue nervous.

Afterwards, it was only after her persuasion that Ah Jue relaxed her nervousness. Later, when the judge from the Tai Hospital came again, she sent him back directly and asked him to copy a few more copies of the medical classics from the Tai Hospital. For his own use, only when the court judge is busy, he will not come to Ajue's eyes from time to time. It is not a wonderful thing to have a court judge who is too honest.

Ye Lijue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yan'er was fine. If Yan'er and the Eight Emperors hadn't felt something was wrong, he would have canceled the palace banquet long ago. There was nothing more important than Yan'er's safety.

Mu Fengyan thought for a moment and then told the secret guard,

"Go check the details of Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie. The sooner the better! Also, since Zhao Yuan has gone to the manor, pay more attention to Zhao Jie's actions and be sure to keep an eye on him."

"I obey my orders,"

The secret guard paused and continued, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, my subordinates overheard Prime Minister Zhao yelling at his wife."

Mu Fengyan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did he say?"

"Prime Minister Zhao's last sentence was about how to use such a daughter and marry those princes."

Mu Fengyan and Ye Lijue looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Prime Minister Zhao still had such thoughts.

Mu Fengyan sneered and said,

"Then did he bring another concubine?"

"Probably not. I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Zhao took his daughter to the study to have a long talk with Prime Minister Zhao. Finally, Mr. Zhao and his daughter came out looking excited. I also heard the young lady ask if she really Can you attend the palace banquet?"

Mu Fengyan understood that it was her niece who entered the palace.

Ye Lijue narrowed her cold eyes.

After the secret guard finished reporting, he also ducked away.

Mu Fengyan was thinking about the true identities of Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie. If they were really those two people, then who was the one who died of illness four years ago?

Where have they been hiding these past four years?

"Yan'er, what did you think of just now?"

Mu Fengyan recovered her thoughts and informed Ye Lijue of her suspicions.

Ye Lijue thought for a moment and nodded.

"In that case, let the secret guards investigate as soon as possible. Also, send someone to keep an eye on the two of them. If it is as you guessed, I think they will take action during the palace banquet."

Mu Fengyan thought the same thing. After hiding for four years, didn't he just come out to seek revenge on her? But she didn't understand that they had severed their relationship before Prime Minister Mu was exiled. What kind of hatred could he seek from her?

She was merciful by not killing the people in Prime Minister Mu's Mansion personally, but she didn't expect that these two people came to trouble her for no apparent reason.

It seems that she needs to prepare more things in her space... just in case of emergencies.

At this time Qingyun hurriedly came to report,

"Your Majesty, at around midnight last night, the secret guards discovered a group of people hiding in the woods outside the city. The exact number is unknown."

"Do you know who he is?"

"It's not clear yet."
