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

Xiao Yanqing told her roughly the things behind Concubine Zheng that had long been overlooked, as well as the conspiracy between her and Jiang Zhuo.

Concubine Zheng was originally Princess Zheng Linhan from the neighboring country of Xizhou.

Before the current emperor ascended the throne, she was raised in the palace as a princess married into a foreign kingdom. However, as the Western State gradually declined, one can imagine how she was treated in the palace.

She had no support from anyone in Xizhou and suffered a lot at first. Xiao Yanzhou also monopolized all her connections with Xizhou. Her current status was the result of her careful planning step by step.

"Zheng Linhan is a shrewd and ambitious woman. Now the harem is under her control. Although she cannot participate in politics, she can still influence the emperor's mind. If there is something that is inconvenient for her to do, the concubines under her will help her."

"To be precise, I don't dare to offend her." Xiao Yanqing explained to her the current situation in the palace.

"Are you sure she's in cahoots with Jiang Zhuo?"

"pretty close."

Her eyes were sharp. Since Zheng Linhan had lived in the palace before Xiao Yanzhou ascended the throne, then...

"Yan Qing knew her before?"

"Yes."

"Has she ever shown her affection to you?" She asked directly without any concealment.

He was slightly stunned, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Yes."

"Then it must have been rejected." Knowing her hidden ambitions, he certainly didn't want to get involved in the royal struggle at that time.

He couldn't help but sigh, this little woman is so smart that she knew I was rejected without even asking.

"People who climb out of the abyss are naturally strong. Even if they die, they would rather die than go back to the days of being trampled upon by others." She said this casually, with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.

His heart paused, and he held her somewhat cold hand, as if to tell her that she already had him.

She pressed her slender fingers against his palm and said without hesitation, "There must be someone behind her who is working with her."

Even if it wasn't Jiang Zhuo, there must be someone else.

"Why are you so sure, Yu'er?"

"Your Majesty is not as good to her as rumored." Although it was just a few simple words, it could not be ruled out that Xiao Yanzhou deliberately wanted to give her status, but she could see that Xiao Yanzhou did not like Zheng Linhan.

"Yan Qing, could she be the one behind this?"

He met her eyes, but had no answer.

"The one who...killed my mother..."

Could it be Zheng Linhan? Could it be the same person Yan Qing is looking for?

The hand that was tightly holding her loosened and he put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms, trying to stop her from thinking about the sad face.

"Yu'er, don't be anxious, let's take it slow, okay?"

Yes, she was very depressed, depressed that she couldn't find the person behind it, and sad, sad that he could bury this pain deep in his heart for so long, it was a grief that could never be resolved.

She put her arms around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and said word by word, "It's okay, let's take it slow, I will help you Yanqing."

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

Was she comforting him?

They hugged each other. Since when did he want to be hugged for so long and even letting go became so difficult?

She raised her head from his arms, as if she had thought of something.

"Yan Qing, maybe I have..."

"Yu'er hasn't told me what happened in the palace yet." He stroked the soft skin of her cheek with his warm palm, reminding her meaningfully.

She blinked, slightly loosened her arms around him, and started from the beginning.

Sure enough, every time she said something, his face grew darker, until finally, he had done his best to suppress his anger.

Fortunately, she let go, otherwise, who knows what would have happened. Besides, she also hid some of the conversation that did not need to be explained.

"He adopted Yuer's advice?" He frowned, slightly surprised.

"Yes."

Seeing her admit it, ripples appeared in his heart. He didn't expect that his trust in her had exceeded his imagination.

Damn! I've seen it so many times, what extent they talked about it.

"He is better than me?" He said in a hurried and unwilling tone.

She was slightly stunned and shook her head in confusion.

"Then why are you laughing so happily with him?!"

He remembered that day, she was always smiling, looking at him and smiling while dancing, looking at him and smiling while talking, and she even allowed him to hold her hand.

"I..." She was speechless for a moment.

Isn't she always like this? What's the excuse? Is he jealous?

"But... I'm also very happy to accompany Yanqing."

He turned his head away, pursed his lips, and said unhappily, "Yes, I am also very happy to accompany Wenshu."

For a moment, she was a little confused. Why was Wen Shu mentioned again? She was indeed very happy to be with Wen Shu.

However, seeing how angry he was, she naturally didn't say the next words.

"You are not allowed to go out these days, and you are not allowed to leave me for even a step."

"Why...why?" She was stunned and looked confused.

"No reason." His stern tone left no room for her to refute.

She met his eyes in confusion. She was very happy with this request, but...

How could she not know that he was so overbearing?

……

Jiang Mansion.

"Dad." Jiang Mo came back with big strides.

"Did you see it?"

"No!" Jiang Mo stared and gasped in anger.

Fortunately it happened in front of my father, otherwise he would have overturned the table and lost his temper.

"She said she specifically told Hua Niang not to see anyone!"

"This Jiang Qingyu! Wasn't she just given the title of Princess by His Majesty? How dare she be so arrogant!"

Jiang Mo was indignant. In comparison, Jiang Zhuo was leisurely watering the flowers and plants.

"Oh, now when you see Jiang Qingyu you have to bow and call her Princess."

"Haven't you heard that His Majesty has become very fond of her in just three days?" Jiang Zhuo said casually.

"Father! What should we do then?! Should we send her up there and let her ride on our heads?!"

"His Majesty has also granted us a mansion. Doesn't this mean that we are not allowed to control her?!" Jiang Mo really didn't understand why his father took this step and gave her so many benefits.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You're so impatient after just not seeing each other for a long time. How can you achieve great things in the future?" Jiang Zhuo put the kettle in the maid's hand and took the handkerchief handed to her.

Jiang Mo pursed his lips and stood aside with his head lowered in dissatisfaction.

In his opinion, Jiang Qingyu should be a slave who could be beaten and scolded by anyone, and she should be stepped on by him.

"You know what? Right now, the ones who want to see Jiang Qingyu the most are not you and me."

Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while he said the name, "King Xiao?!"

Jiang Zhuo curled his lips, "From his state at the banquet, he didn't speak up to stop it. It's obvious that he had already inquired about this matter and knew that His Majesty was determined to confer the title of Princess."

"Father is saying that Jiang Qingyu is hiding from King Xiao?"

"Someone is already wandering around Huanxiang Pavilion."

"Does Xiao Yanqing want to get rid of her?" Jiang Mo was puzzled.

"Jiang Qingyu is in the limelight now. She is already a princess and is deeply loved by His Majesty. There are rumors about her everywhere in Yongqing City. No one can touch her at this time."

To touch her now would undoubtedly be to go against His Majesty.

"Then how long will Jiang Qingyu hide?"

"Maybe she is not hiding. Isn't the person that Jiang Qingyu cares about in Xiao Yanqing's hands? Maybe she wants to confirm whether that person is alive or dead before considering her own position." Jiang Zhuo's pupils were locked and his eyes were half-closed.

But could Jiang Qingyu's thoughts be so deep?

"By the way, Father, it seems that Prince Xiao has not been doing anything these days?"

Jiang Zhuo snorted, "How can it be that simple? Many of my father's men are missing. Do you think we have to cause some bloodshed and make it known to everyone before we can take action?"

So that's how it is. Jiang Mo tried his best to control his manic emotions. No wonder he said that Xiao Yanqing hadn't made any movement for some time.
