Reborn Marquis's Wife

King Ling has always been resolute, and he soon learned everything from the assassins. These assassins were indeed King An's people, but they were not King An's dead soldiers, but had received favors from King An in the past and were deceived by King An's people.

, mistakenly thought that the emperor was afraid of King An's power and drove him to death. These assassins were under the banner of revenge for King An, but they didn't know that they were just pawns.

Of course, King Ling was doubtful about such an explanation. As the saying goes, the person who knows a person best is his enemy. King Ling and King An have been at odds with each other for so many years, so they naturally know his style very well. There are no weak soldiers under a strong general.

, King An never left a weak person in his hands, so he didn't know whether these assassins who claimed to avenge King An were actually trying to get away with it.

But no matter what, I am afraid that this mute will have to be swallowed by King An. Anyway, he has already been charged with one crime, and he does not care about one more crime, not to mention the crime of assassinating the emperor. This is a crime that can kill the nine tribes. However,

After all, he and the emperor both had the same surname. If the nine clans were killed, there would be no one left in the royal family, but Prince An's family members probably wouldn't be able to escape.

The emperor asked Dongfang Ye and others to stay in the palace to save them from traveling back and forth. Dongfang Ye was young and pregnant, so it was not appropriate to leave the palace at night, so he agreed to stay in the palace overnight.

The imperial palace is huge, so there is naturally a place dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests. However, Dongfang Ye did not live there. Instead, he lived in Linhua Palace not far from the emperor's palace. This place was usually Dongfang Ye's.

The place where Ye stayed in the palace was in a quiet place, far away from the palaces of the harem and concubines, so it was not easy to run into anyone.

"Why does the emperor want us to stay overnight?" Liu Yun actually didn't quite understand the emperor's intention. Most of the people had already left the palace, but the emperor kept them, not even the Marquis Dongfang, which really puzzled her.

.

Dongfang Ye just smiled and said nothing. Seeing Liu Yun's face full of confusion, he couldn't help pinching her cheek, and then said: "Only if I am not outside the palace, the emperor's words can reach certain people's ears."

, and the fact that I stayed in the palace also shows that the assassination incident tonight is very serious, so serious that I did not even leave the palace, but had to discuss it all night."

"Are you going to discuss matters at night?" Liu Yun frowned. She had always disliked Dongfang Ye handling official business at night, especially since he was in poor health and always sleeping late at night was extremely harmful to his health.

"It's just an illusion." Dongfang Ye didn't say it, but it was okay. When he explained like this, Liu Yun became even more confused.

Seeing her confused look, Dongfang Ye sighed, lowered his voice and whispered beside her: "There are five princes in the palace. The eldest prince is only twenty-three this year, and the youngest prince has just turned seven this year.

These five princes and their mothers are all of good status, but the emperor has not established a prince for a long time, do you know why?"

Liu Yun shook her head. She didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so she could only try to guess: "Because the emperor is not satisfied with them?"

Dongfang Ye smiled lightly, but she was a smart girl. Although she didn't know anything, she still made a rough guess.

"The eldest prince is very successful, the third prince is romantic, the fifth prince is ruthless, the eighth prince is quiet and weak, and the thirteenth prince is only seven years old but smart." Dongfang Ye briefly described the five princes, which made Liu Yun frown.

"Don't the emperor appoint a prince?" Knowing that walls have ears, and being in the palace, Liu Yun also lowered his voice and asked, "Does the emperor have other choices?"

When asked, Liu Yun suddenly covered her mouth and stared at Dongfang Ye in disbelief. She had a guess in her heart, but she just didn't dare to say it for a while.

"He just doesn't support them." Dongfang Ye replied with raised eyebrows.

"Don't support them?" Liu Yun swallowed. Did she really guess correctly that the emperor has another child?"

I always felt that Dongfang Ye had ulterior motives for suddenly telling her this secret.

Dongfang Ye looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile. Seeing her tangled expression, he rubbed the broken hair on his forehead and said softly, "Okay, don't think about it. These things have nothing to do with you. You just need to stay here obediently."

Just be by my side."

Such a tone made Liu Yun a little dissatisfied. She knew she couldn't help, but she really wanted to step into his world and know what he was busy with on weekdays. It wasn't that she wanted to take care of him, but she just wanted to get involved.

She simply wants to know what her husband is doing.

Seeing a trace of frustration slipping through Liu Yun's eyes, Dongfang Ye felt distressed. He pulled her over and sat on his lap, and then explained to her: "I don't trust you. We have already said that there are no secrets between us.

. The reason why I didn’t tell you who it is is because the more you know about some things, the greater the danger. I don’t want to worry about your safety all the time while handling official business in the capital.

"I will protect myself, don't worry." Liu Yun hurriedly expressed his determination towards Dongfang Ye, and Liu Yun said with full assurance.

"Now that King An's matter has just ended, there are still many aftermath matters that need to be dealt with. I promise you, as soon as the matter here is over, we will return to Linyang City, okay? Give me some more time." Dongfang Ye is smart.

He dropped the topic and stopped talking to her about things that would make her unhappy.

"It's a rare time to come back. After you finish handling the matter, come with me back to Ji's house. The year my mother passed away, my grandmother came to Linyang City once, and I haven't seen her since." Speaking of her mother, Liu Yun's

Her mood was slightly depressed, and she suddenly thought of Xia's words of advice to her, and was slightly startled.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Ye, who had been watching Liu Yun, naturally couldn't miss her expression.

Liu Yun bit his lip, hesitated, and then told Dongfang Ye what Xia had said: "I always feel that neither my mother nor Aunt Xia want me to have contact with the Ji family."

"I'm not sure why your mother left the capital in the first place, but I can roughly guess a few things. If it were me, who had managed to stay away from these disputes, I probably wouldn't want you to be involved in these things again.

"Yes." Dongfang Ye knew more than Liu Yun, but because he didn't find out many things, he could only answer her ambiguously.

"Actually, I really want to go back to Ji's house to have a look. Maybe I can find out some truth." Liu Yun pursed her lips. She had a feeling that what Yu Chen told her was incomplete. Regarding her mother's part, she

I always feel that there is still something missing. Maybe only by returning to the Ji family can we know everything.

Dongfang Ye nodded, maybe it was true as Liu Yun said, only by returning to Ji's house could all the mysteries be solved.

He can understand Liu Yun very well. He also has a deep understanding of the feeling that his mother has a thorn in his heart that can never be shaken off or erased. Just like his mother, the one who was born when he was born.

A woman who died in childbirth.
