The Regent's Tender Darling

It rained as we approached the capital. There were few people on the river bank, and the boat rocked slightly on the water.

Lin Jiaojiao, who had been sitting by the chessboard and frowning silently, finally dropped the white piece in her hand that had been resting for a long time.

There was a silent fight on the square-inch chessboard. The white stone was like a red-eyed soldier, desperately strangling the black stone. Although the offensive was fierce, it left a way for the black stone to fall back, and there were also traps in the way.

Yan Sihan's hand couldn't help but pause. Looking at the overall situation, there would be times when he couldn't see clearly, but as long as he could see through the clouds and see through the appearance, he could win back the victory.

Finally, the boat docked and it became an unfinished game.

The couple returned to the Regent's Mansion with their own concerns. Lin Jiaojiao changed Yan Sihan's court clothes and said softly: "Your Majesty, come back soon."

"Yeah." The man reached out and rubbed her hair, his tone was light and gentle.

The slender fingers tapped the tip of her nose lovingly, and she could feel the slight coolness on his fingertips. She was stunned for a moment and then reached out to catch the big hand.

"Be good and stay well in the mansion. I will come back to accompany you early."

"Yes." Lin Jiaojiao nodded obediently.

She sent the man out of Minghuaxuan with a smile, until the back disappeared from sight and the smile disappeared.

She said solemnly: "Eleven, where is King An now?"

Eleven cupped his hands and said: "Back to Princess, after Prince An came back from the Department of Internal Security, he was confined in Prince An's Mansion, under the control of His Majesty's personal guards, and no one is allowed to visit."

Hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao let out a deep breath, and then said: "Go and pass the message to Zhao Renhou and the Minister of Libu to Zuili Qiankun."

"yes."

…

——Grocery store.

The two carriages arrived almost at the same time. After Zhaorenhou got off the carriage, the Minister of Staff was also coming out. The two looked at each other and said nothing.

But judging from their faces, both of them were feeling quite sad at this time.

It was hard to follow the boss, but now the boss went in on his own.

After sighing in unison, the two of them entered the grocery store side by side and headed to the third floor of Zuili Qiankun.

After entering, Lin Jiaojiao sat behind the long table. When she saw the two people coming, she waved her hands and said, "No need to be polite, sit down."

The two people who were about to bow their hands were stunned, but they still bowed and said, "Yes."

Then he sat opposite the Princess Regent.

"Tell me, what happened when the prince was not in the capital?" Lin Jiaojiao stared at the two of them with deep eyes, waiting for them to speak.

Marquis Zhaoren, who was worried, was the first to speak: "Princess, I came back late. Just after I came back, Prince An went in. Prince An was released by the people from the Internal Security Department yesterday. I heard that there were eight students who took the imperial examination." Fraud is still being investigated.”

"Liu Shangshu, tell me." Lin Jiaojiao interrupted Zhao Renhou's words and asked the Minister of Personnel.

The face of the Minister of Civil Affairs was much calmer than that of Zhao Renhou, but his eyes could not hide his sadness. He said calmly: "Princess, the cause of this matter is that a student reported eight people for imperial examination fraud. After investigation, there is indeed suspicion. , so the eight students were arrested and sent to the Internal Security Department. As the examiner, Wang An had a great responsibility and was also implicated. "

"Besides the examiner's responsibility for this matter, how big of a deal is it with Prince An?" Lin Jiaojiao asked.

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel shook his head: "I don't know this, but since His Highness Prince An was able to come out of the Internal Security Department unscathed, Prince An must not know about it, but..."
