Demoting the Wife to a Concubine? The Reborn Legitimate Daughter Crippled his Entire Family.

General Fengyang's name is Ling Fengyang. He is the adopted son of the Sheng family and the nephew of the late Concubine Sheng. He is also a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Princess Pingyao.

When he went to the border with his adoptive father for training at the age of sixteen, the eldest princess of Pingyao, who was only fourteen years old, also went to the border and they stayed there for six full years.

One is a young general in bright clothes and angry horses, and the other is a member of the royal family. Their appearance and talents are incomparably matched. Their relationship deepens day by day with the blessings of the border officers, and the date of their marriage has been set.

The two had loved each other deeply, and the late emperor and Concubine Sheng were also optimistic about this marriage.

But the world is full of tricks.

General Sheng was plotted against in that war and fell into an ambush by mistake, while Ling Fengyang was shot dead by random arrows because he failed to save his father.

The eldest princess of Pingyao saw him die of anger with her own eyes, and even personally sent the coffins of her uncle and Ling Fengyang back to Beijing.

How could he still be alive?

The palace was as quiet as death.

The eldest princess of Pingyao sat in front of the window, holding her head without saying a word. The light coming from the window hit her face, hazy and dark, and it was difficult to see clearly the thoughts in her eyes.

I don't know how long this oppressive and uneasy silence lasted. A burst of inaudible footsteps came. Princess Pingyao seemed to come out of her thoughts. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the handsome man close at hand: "Who? Let you in?"

"I'm worried about Your Highness." Qin Yumo's eyes were filled with worry, "Does Your Highness have something difficult to resolve?"

Princess Pingyao was silent for a moment: "Sit down."

Qin Yumo sat down on the chair opposite her: "If there is anything your Highness needs, you might as well tell me. Maybe I can -"

"Do you think people can come back to life after death?"

What?

Qin Yumo was stunned: "Resurrection from the dead?"

"You also find it incredible?" Princess Pingyao curled her lips mockingly, "The emperor said that a person who has been dead for three years is still alive. It is really ridiculous."

Dead for three years?

Qin Yumo's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of someone.

If there is anyone in the world who can influence the eldest princess's mood... it's probably only that one person.

Qin Yumo's hands on his knees tightened unconsciously, "Resurrection from the dead may not be possible. If it is true, then there may be something fishy about the original death."

There is something else strange... During the half hour of meditating alone, Princess Pingyao also came to this conclusion.

If the regent didn't know about this, but the emperor knew about it, then the emperor was probably the one who caused the original strange thing... or rather, the late emperor, who was the insider.

Princess Pingyao smiled coldly.

It was said that the emperor's father doted on their mother and daughter the most, but the reality was that the entire Sheng family was wiped out, her mother and concubine died young, and her fiancé died in the battle.

This kind of pampering is really unbearable.

"Your Highness." Qin Yumo said hesitantly, "Will the wedding in half a month be cancelled?"

"Who said it was going to be cancelled?" Princess Pingyao looked up at him strangely, "The wedding date has been set and the wedding will be held as scheduled. There is no reason to cancel it."

"yes."

Princess Pingyao stood up and walked out: "I am going to the Prince Regent's Mansion, you don't have to follow me."

"yes."

After arriving at the Regent's Palace and being informed, Princess Pingyao was smoothly taken to the study to see Ji Yucang.

The regent was still discussing matters with several ministers in the study.

The affairs of the court are busy these days. After the court, the regent will order a memorial to be sent to the regent's palace. If there are important court matters that need to be resolved that day, ministers will also be summoned to discuss the matter.

The left and right prime ministers have always been frequent visitors to the Regent's Palace, and they are the executors of the Regent's orders in court.

"Uncle." Princess Pingyao stepped into the study room and said in a calm tone, "I have something to ask you."

Several people in the study saluted the eldest princess.

Ji Yucang's tone was indifferent: "What's the matter?"

"Has the Emperor ever investigated the truth about Ling Fengyang's death on the battlefield?"

As soon as these words came out, several people in the study were surprised.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Yucang's eyes: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Today I went to the Ministry of Justice, and not surprisingly, I was called over by the Queen Mother to say a few words. After I left, I was called over by the Emperor." Princess Pingyao didn't seem to understand the meaning of being tight-lipped at all, and in an instant she told the Emperor Sold, "He asked me to kill the regent princess and told me that Ling Fengyang was still alive."

What she said was quite calm, and there was no seriousness of "killing the regent princess" or the shame and cover-up of betraying the emperor. On the contrary, the faces of the few people listening to her words changed slightly and they looked at each other.

Ji Yucang's face was cold, with a bone-chilling chill between his brows and eyes, "The Emperor asked you to kill Shen Ning?"

"Um."

"Why?"

Princess Pingyao found a random place to sit down: "I didn't ask, I wouldn't agree to him anyway."

"But the emperor threatened General Fengyang..." Yan Qingchen said subconsciously, then frowned, "General Fengyang is really still alive?"

"I heard that Mr. Zuo Xiang is the smartest." Princess Pingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, "How about you analyze it for me and see if what the emperor said is credible?"

Yan Qingchen looked at Ji Yucang subconsciously.

"Didn't you witness Ling Fengyang's death with your own eyes?" Ji Yucang sat behind the desk with his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Seeing it with your own eyes doesn't necessarily mean there is no secret." Princess Pingyao said, "If the emperor didn't lie, then his death might have been a conspiracy."

Yan Qingchen was surprised again.

Princess Pingyao's calmness really surprised them. Ling Fengyang was once her favorite person, and the two almost got married.

When the news of Ling Fengyang's death came out, the eldest princess of Pingyao was twenty years old. Later, she became a celebrity and accepted male favors one after another. Many people thought she was stimulated.

But when she mentioned her old friend again, her tone was so calm that she seemed to be talking about an insignificant person?
