The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 598 Jiang Yuchen, the owner of Jiangjiazhuang

Jiang Yuchen. After hearing this name, Si Ning looked up and down at the man in front of him. He turned out to be Jiang Yuchen.

In the previous life, Jiang Yuchen also entered Si Ning's harem as a servant. He had not met Si Ning many times. Si Ning just passed by here that year and took him away directly because she saw that he was handsome.

At that time, Jiang Yuchen looked rather aloof and always gave people a sense of distance, but now it seems that this is not the case. Could it be that in his previous life, he deliberately pretended to be indifferent? Thinking of this, Si Ning couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Si Ning frowned slightly, secretly pondering the Jiang Yuchen in front of her. She carefully observed his face and expression, trying to find a flaw or a familiar trace in his expression. However, apart from that handsome face, there were not many other obvious features.

In his previous life, Jiang Yuchen saw Mo Yu forcing the empress to jump off a building. He was just a eunuch with no status. He suddenly stepped forward to argue with Mo Yu. At that time, Mo Yu had lost his mind and directly ordered people to cut Jiang Yuchen into pieces. His death was also very miserable.

I didn't expect to meet him again by chance in this life. The empress in the previous life really felt guilty towards him.

Jiang Yuchen saw that Si Ning looked very bad and thought that she had not recovered. So he asked with concern: "Miss, are you feeling unwell? Someone go and call the village doctor."

Si Ning waved his hands quickly and said, "No, I'm still healthy. I just remembered something. By the way, I've heard of your name. If I'm not mistaken, you have a friend who works as an imperial censor in the Si Dynasty named Li Bing."

Jiang Yuchen was stunned. He had never expected that the woman in front of him actually knew so much about him. He nodded and said, "Yes, Li Bing and I were both Jinshi in the same year. We should have served in the same court. But something happened in my family that year, so I resigned. Miss... do you know Li Bing too?"

Si Ning knew that Li Bing was once his teacher. He was honest and upright, and didn't like to form cliques. Moreover, Li Bing's official position was not too high, so ordinary people could see him.

Si Ning took out a Phoenix Stone that could prove the emperor's identity from his arms, then placed it on the table and said calmly, "Look at what this is."

Jiang Yuchen looked down and saw that the stone was carved into a phoenix with its wings spread out, ready to fly, with a faint dragon aura on it.

Jiang Yuchen was also a person who had seen good things. He recognized it as a stone at a glance, but an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. He suddenly remembered that the empress of Si Dynasty was the Phoenix Girl, and she wore a Phoenix Stone. Could this beautiful woman in front of him be the current empress?

Si Ning seemed to sense Jiang Yuchen's doubts, smiled slightly, and nodded gently: "You guessed correctly, I am the current empress Si Ning. I asked you if you know Li Bing just now, but actually I want you to take me to meet him. He is my imperial censor, and it may not be easy for me to meet him."

Jiang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was filled with shock. He had never thought that he would accidentally meet the empress. Then, he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, saying, "Your humble servant pays respect to the emperor! Long live the emperor! I am guilty. I didn't know that my carriage had hit your majesty's body. I deserve death. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

However, Si Ning was not angry because Jiang Yuchen's carriage hit her. On the contrary, she was full of gratitude towards Jiang Yuchen. If it weren't for this accident, she might still be immersed in the fog of amnesia.

Si Ning opened her red lips slightly, her words full of gratitude: "Get up quickly, I really should thank you. What crime have you committed? Take me to the Censor's Mansion quickly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuchen hurriedly stood up, lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at the noble figure. He secretly marveled in his heart that he was so lucky to see the true face of the empress in this lifetime.

Arriving at the residence of Imperial Censor Li Bing, Li Bing was immersed in a sea of ​​books. Upon hearing the news of his friend's arrival, he hurried out to greet him, smiling and joking: "Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for many years. Why did you suddenly think of me today?"

Jiang Yuchen looked embarrassed. After looking around, he asked in a low voice, "Master Li, this matter is urgent. Please come in and discuss it in detail. Please ask the attendants to leave."

Li Bing looked solemn when he heard this. He looked up at his friend in front of him. Usually, this friend spoke very cautiously. But today... Li Bing looked at the person behind Jiang Yuchen again.

Si Ning was afraid of being recognized when entering the imperial city, so she disguised herself as a man and became a servant. Li Bing did not recognize Si Ning.

Li Bing led Jiang Yuchen into the study. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuchen's subtle movement surprised everyone present.

He turned slightly to one side, and in an almost pious manner, he whispered to the servant beside him: "Please..."

These simple words revealed an extraordinary courtesy. Li Bing's eyes wandered over the servant, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart, but it was difficult to grasp its source for a moment. The three of them walked into the study, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Jiang Yuchen spoke first, breaking the silence: "Brother Li, is it okay to talk now?"

Li Bing nodded in agreement, but secretly guessed the real intention of Jiang Yuchen's visit. At this moment, Si Ning's voice flowed out like a spring. She gently removed her veil and hat, and in an instant, the air in the study seemed to freeze.

Li Bing was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground, shouting: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor!" Si Ning smiled calmly and said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Li, please stand up."

Li Bing stood up, his eyes full of confusion and shock. He looked at the empress in front of him who was dressed as a man and looked heroic, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, aren't you ill? Why did you suddenly come to my residence? And...you and Young Master Jiang..."

Upon hearing this, Si Ning thought to himself that this might be a plot set up by the Regent and my father in order to stabilize the court.

So, she opened her red lips and explained, "I am fine. This trip is just a private visit to show my sympathy for the people. As for my meeting with Jiang Yuchen, it was purely accidental."

Although Li Bing still had some doubts, he knew it was not appropriate to ask too many questions, and only said: "Your Majesty is in good health, which is a blessing for the country. However, Your Majesty should return to the palace as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation to reassure the people." Si Ning nodded in agreement, and then explained another reason for the trip: "I did not bring any entourage with me this time, and I am indeed a little tired. I need to trouble Li Qing to escort me back to the palace." Li Bing accepted the order, but he felt mixed emotions.

Si Ning turned to look at Jiang Yuchen, a trace of tenderness and gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Yuchen, thanks to your help, I can return to the palace smoothly. When I finish dealing with the affairs of the court, I will come to thank you in person."

Jiang Yuchen's heart was filled with waves when he heard this. He had never expected that this woman, whom he had met once, was actually the almighty empress.

Her tolerance and care warmed his heart, but also mixed with a hint of uneasiness - with three thousand beauties in the harem, would she still remember him? The group walked forward in silence until the gate of the palace slowly opened.

Regent Jun Yuanxun and Chen Han rushed over after hearing the news. Jun Yuanxun was so excited that he was almost incoherent: "Ning'er, you are still alive! For the past three months, I have been restless day and night, fearing that something unexpected had happened to you."

Chen Han also had a worried look on his face, telling about the hardships and difficulties of finding Si Ning. Si Ning looked at the two closest people in front of him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
