The Regent's Tender Darling

"Yan Sihan, are Eleven and the others older than you?" Lin Jiaojiao asked her doubts as she walked towards the backyard plum forest.

This "them" refers to all the shadow guards. After all, she saw that all the shadow guards called her grandfather "Uncle Jiang", so she asked knowingly.

"Um."

Yan Sihan responded naturally, his eyes falling on the face of the little girl whose lips and teeth were slightly open and looking dazed.

He held her warm hand in his palm without hesitation. This action very well soothed Lin Jiaojiao's slightly uneasy mood at this time.

After Yan Sihan told her, she also learned more about these shadow guards.

There are now twenty-seven people who have become Shadow Guards. From one to twenty-seven, they are all named Ling, in the order in which they came.

Regardless of their age, these people all entered the Ling Mansion Courtyard before Yan Sihan came here and were educated by his grandfather, Uncle Jiang.

The shadow guards called Zhennan Wang Lingyun brother, so Yan Sihan naturally had to call these aunts or uncles.

The Shadow Guards have lived in the Ling Mansion Villa since they were young, and they can choose to stay or leave when they grow up. However, none of the twenty-seven people left, and they all stayed to work with King Zhennan.

Afterwards, these shadow guards were left to Yan Sihan by Zhennan Wang Lingyun, presumably to keep his son safe in the capital.

She knew that Yan Sihan had a difficult life in the past. Although there were not a few people who were used as hostages in the capital, how many people could live like Yan Sihan?

Most of them were either crippled by the royal family or willing to degenerate and enjoy themselves.

Although there are many people who can tolerate dormancy, who can remain true to their original intentions? Who can truly seek power only for the sake of the country and even the people?

Yan Sihan has his own "ambition".

From a proton, he reached this position step by step, gained the trust and recognition of the late emperor step by step, and became the regent who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people today.

She didn't know how he got through those long days and nights. The world only saw his high position and power, but not everything he had experienced.

From the first time she met him, she knew that he came to Chen's house to recuperate from his injuries. She had seen the injuries on his back, chest, and legs.

At that time, Yan Sihan was only thirteen, but his whole body was covered with injuries, and every injury was not a minor one.

She later came to the capital and heard someone say that Yan Sihan, the young prince of Zhennan, went to the battlefield for the first time at the age of thirteen, but he fell on the battlefield after winning the battle, and not a single piece of his armor was stained with blood.

After being in a coma for dozens of days, the military doctors were helpless. It wasn't until several imperial doctors arrived from the capital that they brought him back from the dead.

In this way, the prince spent more than a month recuperating at the border before he was carried back to the capital to discuss his merits and reward him.

After that, he spent half a month in the capital for good medical treatment before going to the Chen family in Jiangnan to recuperate.

She thought it was because her mother had a good relationship with Princess Zhennan that Yan Sihan came to the Chen family to recuperate.

Speaking of which, Princess Zhennan was very good to her. She found a lot of medicine to remove scars from the minor injuries on her back caused by playing around. Although it didn't have a very good effect in the end, it still faded a lot.

The first time she saw Yan Sihan's injuries was because her elder brother was applying medicine to Yan Sihan.

At such a young age, she was frightened to tears by the shocking injuries. Almost every wound was of horrifying depth.

On the battlefield, who will show mercy to whom? They were all fighting to the death, even if it was a small injury, they were all done with all their strength.

She didn't know how he survived such a serious injury. She was glad that he did, because he survived so that she could be lucky enough to meet him.

But it was obviously not a good thing for him to meet her. At least in his previous life, she was his disaster.

Thinking of this, she felt even more guilty. In her previous life, she did things that hurt her father because of his instigation.

Perhaps the person she should hate more was herself. She believed her father's words. She naively felt that her father would not lie to her.

It wasn't until she was about to die that she understood the truth.
