The Regent's Tender Darling

Seeing the little girl's face full of sadness, the man put down the file in his hand, and his cold expression gradually softened.

"Come."

Lin Jiaojiao came back to her senses and saw him waving to her, so she quickly walked closer.

"Your Majesty..."

The man took advantage of the situation and held her in his arms, and gently soothed her emotions: "Be good, Jiaojiao, don't worry about these things, I will take care of them myself."

This was expected, but it was still a headache.

"Yes." Lin Jiaojiao nodded obediently. At this time, she had to be more obedient so that he would worry less.

But she knew she had to hurry up.

…

―――Yujie.

"Hey, why are there suddenly so many defenders? Is there going to be a war?" People on the street started talking about the sudden increase in defenders in the capital.

Someone said: "It's impossible to fight, right? There's no news at the border."

"Then what's the matter with the sudden increase in the number of garrison troops in the capital? I think people from the Yue Kingdom have invaded!"

"Fart, Yue Guo has the guts?"

When the people talked about the Yue Kingdom, someone suddenly remembered the death of the old prime minister and interrupted, "Is it because someone from the Yue Kingdom is coming to pick up the old prime minister?"

"possible."

The news soon reached Lin Jiaojiao's ears from Ye Luo.

In the palace, Ye Luo reported to Lin Jiaojiao, who was drinking fish maw: "Those defenders were temporarily transferred from I don't know which battalion they were from. They said they were the result of recent rumors in the capital, in order to stabilize people's hearts."

Hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao lost all her appetite. Needless to say, she knew that these people were transferred from the four major battalions in the capital. The current guards were no longer in Yan Sihan's hands.

It's just that she doesn't know whether the current defenders are from the emperor, Prince Duan, or perhaps Taiping Taoists.

One is that the emperor now has the power to treat patients, and the other is that Bingjia Caravan happened to be approved by King Duan. She still doesn't know if Bingjia belongs to King Duan, and she even feels that King Duan is not so capable.

The third is the strange thing about the Taiping Taoist. Since there are people in the imperial court, there might be some Taiping Taoists in the military camp as well.

Now, each of the three forces is eyeing Yan Sihan.

"Can these defenders control the rumors?" Xuemei asked.

Lin Jiaojiao sneered: "How about control?"

This rumor has been fermenting. Even if everyone keeps silent about it, I am afraid that this rumor has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

She wanted to know even more what soul-catching was. If she could do it, she might be able to make people in the capital not only shut up, but also pay attention.

"Princess, what do you want me to do?" Ye Luo asked.

Lin Jiaojiao shook her head: "It's not necessary, just watch and wait and see what happens."

The arrival of the defenders did have some effect, but they only caught a few key criminals spreading rumors in just one day.

Lin Jiaojiao listened to Ye Luo's report. Before she could speak, she only heard half of Ye Luo's sentence: "But the captured important criminal committed suicide in prison just after he was imprisoned."

After hearing about suicide again, Lin Jiaojiao no longer had any emotional fluctuations. It was unexpected and reasonable.

Committing suicide in prison is a common tactic used by the man in the dark, from the very beginning of the Lin'an government office, but now.

It just so happens that this method is commonly used.

"Is there any news about Qingfeng now?" Lin Jiaojiao picked up the tea cup and sipped lightly.

Ye Luo's eyebrows darkened and he lowered his head: "Not yet, this person is very hidden..."

"Then there's no need to look for it." Lin Jiaojiao interrupted Ye Luo's words. This Qingfeng was indeed very well hidden. In recent days, Qingfeng will probably not appear again.

No matter how hard you look, it's just a futile effort. It's better to gather the manpower to dig a tunnel.

In just two days, the sky in the capital city changed. The city was filled with officers and soldiers, and patrolling imperial troops were spread across almost every street.
