At this time, someone in the palace was tossing and turning in bed.

Yao Yu'an sensed the anxiety of the person beside him and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you worried that His Royal Highness the Regent will form an alliance with the Jiang family?"

Xie Jinghong never concealed the affairs of the court from Yao Yu'an, so Yao Yu'an knew about it as early as when Xie Jingce came to the palace to ask for the imperial decree to grant the marriage.

But she was not a stupid person. Now that the Yao family was gone and the Ye family had also fallen, she, as a queen, and a queen without the power of her maternal family, had endured too much criticism from the previous dynasty. In the end, it was Xie Jinghong who insisted on making her the queen.

Although Yao Yu'an was of noble status, she also understood that the harem should not interfere in government affairs, and she had always been careful to maintain a delicate balance.

The Regent has always been a thorn in the hearts of the two, because as long as Xie Jingce is around, Yao Yu'an will think of the Ye Mansion and worry about whether he will come for revenge for the Ye Mansion.

Xie Jinghong turned around, hugged Yao Yu'an, and sighed, "How can I not worry? But the secret guards that my father left for him are too strong. With my current strength, both sides will suffer losses, and I won't get any benefits in the end."

Yao Yu'an frowned and thought for a while. Thinking of the person he met at the poetry reading that day, he always felt that he was a little weird.

Yao Yu'an said, "I have often come into contact with the daughter of the Jiang family. She is a weak person. If Your Majesty allows, I would like to summon her to the palace and give her a warning."

In fact, she also wanted to meet Jiang Wanyue. After all, they hadn't seen each other for three years. She always felt that Jiang Wanyue had changed too fast, as if she had become a different person.

When Xie Jinghong heard this, his heart moved slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes flickered, and then he hugged her tighter.

"I am very pleased to have this beautiful woman."

Xie Jinghong's doting voice came from above his head.

Early the next morning, an imperial decree was issued in Xiangyue Pavilion of the Bo Mansion.

Jiang Wanyue stared at the person who came. A cold light flashed in her eyes and disappeared in an instant. Her brows were slightly furrowed. Yao Yu'an wanted to see her?

The imperial decree granting her marriage just arrived at the palace yesterday, and today she is summoned to the palace again.

Jiang Wanyue knew without thinking that the two people in the palace were probably afraid of Xie Jingce, but they could do nothing about him. Now that she was Xie Jingce's fiancée, and the emperor had made his promise, the marriage was a foregone conclusion, so they thought of starting with her.

Yao Yu'an understood Jiang Wanyue's personality. If it was the Jiang Wanyue from before, it would be easy for Yao Yu'an to control her, but now...

The corners of Jiang Wanyue's lips curled up slightly.

"Please wait for a moment, Aunt Qingyu. I will follow you into the palace as soon as I change my clothes."

"Miss Jiang, please hurry up."

Jiang Wanyue turned and went into the inner room.

The person who came was Qingyu, who served Yao Yu'an personally. She was the maid chosen for her by her aunt Yao when Yao Yu'an was brought into the Ye Mansion. She did a lot of things for Yao Yu'an. When Yao Yu'an became the queen, her status also rose and she became the top manager of Kunning Palace.

Jiang Wanyue had a complicated expression as she thought of her mother, Yao, the dignified and gentle woman whose kindness attracted an ungrateful person.

Jiang Wanyue's eyes flashed coldly, then she regained her composure, walked out as if nothing had happened, and said to Qingyu with a smile: "Please lead the way, Aunt Qingyu."

Jiang Wanyue followed Qingyu and got on the carriage to the palace. Qingyu sat opposite Jiang Wanyue, looking at her from time to time, but Jiang Wanyue always looked calm.

Neither of them said a word until the carriage stopped.

Qingyu certainly knew why Yao Yu'an summoned Jiang Wanyue to the palace. She thought Jiang Wanyue would be curious and then signal, but Jiang Wanyue didn't say a word throughout the whole journey.

Qingyu was vaguely dissatisfied.

Little did she know that Jiang Wanyue already knew Yao Yu'an's intention. She was observing Qingyu's expression all the way and sneered in her heart.

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace.

When Jiang Wanyue saw the familiar plaque, her heart was in turmoil again, her nails dug into her flesh, and the hatred in her eyes grew stronger.

Qingyu turned around and was stunned when she saw Jiang Wanyue's sharp eyes, but the latter quickly controlled her emotions, as if Qingyu was just dazzled for a moment.

Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, “What’s wrong, Aunt Qingyu, but is there something on my face?”

"No, not really." Qingyu came to her senses. She must have been dazzled. "The Queen is inside. Miss Jiang, please follow me."

Jiang Wanyue was very familiar with this place, but she still pretended to be here for the first time and followed Qingyu.

After walking around and coming to the back of the screen, Yao Yu'an was lying on the couch, supporting his head with one hand and closing his eyes as if he was taking a nap.

When they met again, Jiang Wanyue was able to control her emotions, but when she saw Yao Yu'an lying on her favorite couch, her heart still stirred, and then she felt nauseous again.

Why does Yao Yu'an still miss the things she has touched?

In this life, she only wants revenge and then protect the people around her, that's enough.

"Madam, Miss Jiang is here."

Qingyu lifted the curtain and went in, followed closely by Jiang Wanyue.

Jiang Wanyue walked up to Yao Yu'an and knelt down to greet him: "Your Majesty, the Queen."

The voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and no emotion could be heard.

Yao Yu'an's eyelids twitched, but he did not open his eyes.

Qingyu stood aside and saw Yao Yu'an like this, probably wanting to leave Jiang Wanyue alone. Unconsciously, her previous depression dissipated a lot.

It was unknown how long it had been before Yao Yu'an opened her eyes as if she had just woken up. She saw Jiang Wanyue kneeling on the ground. She widened her eyes in surprise, "Oh, when did Miss Jiang come? The ground is cold, please get up quickly. Qingyu, you are such a fool, you didn't even wake me up when Miss Jiang came."

Yao Yu'an pretended to be angry and scolded Qingyu.

Qingyu understood Yao Yu'an's meaning in an instant and said, "Your Majesty is right. I won't dare to do it again next time."

Jiang Wanyue took in this scene, lowered her eyes and sneered.

Yao Yu'an just wanted to leave her alone to give her a warning.

Jiang Wanyue once again made a big note of Yao Yu'an in her heart.

But Jiang Wanyue still said respectfully: "The Queen is taking a nap, and I dare not disturb her."

"You're a good child," Yao Yu'an stood up and helped Jiang Wanyue up, smiling but not in her eyes, "No wonder the Regent King likes you. If you marry into the Regent King's Mansion and behave yourself, you will surely be rich and prosperous."

"Your Majesty the Queen's instructions will be followed." Jiang Wanyue lowered her eyes and acted respectful.

Yao Yu'an glanced at Qingyu, who shook her head at her and then understood.

When Yao Yu'an saw Jiang Wanyue like this, she felt that she was exactly the same as the Jiang Wanyue she remembered, and her heart began to slowly calm down.

Yes, with Jiang Wanyue's personality, wouldn't it be easy to control her? If Jiang Wanyue married into the Regent's Palace, she might be of great use in the future.

Yao Yu'an's mind was busy calculating.

Jiang Cheng found out that Jiang Wanyue was called by Yao Yu'an after he returned to the Earl's Mansion after the morning court session.

At this moment, he was pacing back and forth in the study anxiously.
