Yu Jingchen suddenly woke up, still shaken by what had just happened. However, when he looked at the little girl in his arms, his uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
"Now, I'm coming towards you..." Yu Jingchen's lips moved slightly, and then he placed a kiss on Nan Zhiyun's forehead. After the kiss, he held Nan Zhiyun and drifted back to sleep...
Nan Zhiyun snuggled closer to Yu Jingchen's arms; it was so warm and comfortable. She even smacked her lips, perhaps dreaming of something delicious. That night, Nan Zhiyun slept very well.
The next morning, Yu Jingchen got up quietly as usual, without waking Nan Zhiyun. Fortunately, the servants quietly helped Yu Jingchen change his clothes quickly and go to court.
However, just as he was leaving, Yu Jingchen saw Jiang Ji as soon as he stepped out the door.
Jiang Ji greeted His Majesty with the same demeanor as before, showing no signs of anything amiss, except that his hands were still wrapped in thick gauze.
Yu Jingchen glanced at him... Jiang Ji, huh, not a simple character.
In the second life, Jiang Ji was the powerful Director of Ceremonial Affairs, second only to the emperor, a rare talent who wielded immense influence and was incredibly prestigious...
But... why is the trajectory of this life so different? Jiang Ji and Nan Zhiyun in their previous life should have had no connection whatsoever; the two never even had any contact.
Yu Jingchen didn't actually object to Jiang Ji serving Nan Zhiyun, after all, Jiang Ji was indeed a talented individual, and if he could be nurtured, he would be a great asset in the future. However, this didn't mean Yu Jingchen wasn't worried at all, since Jiang Ji's current demeanor might just be an act, and he didn't know Jiang Ji's true purpose.
Yu Jingchen had been hesitant about Jiang Ji. Should he completely eliminate him, or nurture him? In his previous life, Jiang Ji had considerable prestige, but he had always been under his command... so there was no real danger.
But things are different now. This matter concerns Nan Zhiyun, so Yu Jingchen needs to consider it more carefully. He looked at the person in front of him; he couldn't detect anything unusual yet. Was he just pretending too well, or hadn't quite gotten to the point?
Yu Jingchen didn't say anything. He didn't want to expose the matter before he understood the situation. Otherwise, it would create unnecessary trouble and be difficult to handle.
Watching Yu Jingchen's departing figure, a dark glint flashed in Jiang Ji's eyes. His Majesty seemed a little strange... Could it be that he had noticed something? He looked at his own hands; only a little bit more... These last few steps could not go wrong.
"We've had someone keep a close eye on Jiang Ji recently. Report any unusual activity immediately," Yu Jingchen said to Xing beside him after walking away.
Although Xinglai felt somewhat bewildered, he dared not disobey His Majesty's orders and could only agree. The weather had been rather gloomy lately, and Xinglai had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
My eyelids have been twitching a lot, especially these past few days.
With His Majesty here, I believe even the biggest problems can be calmed down. I just hope everything goes smoothly.
During the morning court session this morning, Yu Jing'an's execution was announced. Yu Jingchen decreed that Yu Jing'an be demoted to a commoner and executed by slow slicing in the marketplace three days later.
