An Chenghuan's eyes flashed with nonchalance as he reminded her, "Princess Yuejiang should wake up from her life in Jing Kingdom. From now on, you will be living in An Kingdom, and Jing Yan will no longer be your husband."

Jing Yan traveled without stopping and returned to Pingkang City in just over half a month. He didn't even dismount when entering the palace, but rushed straight in.
During the days when Jingyan was saving Yuejiang, everyone in the palace was restless and worried.
Jing Huaixu, along with the two empress dowagers and others, often gathered in the Delin Hall to discuss countermeasures.
The current situation is entirely due to Jing Lu's survival, and Empress Dowager Zheng is largely to blame and the prime suspect.
She knew that Jing Lu had escaped and there was still no news of him falling into Jing Yan's hands, so she was certain that Jing Lu had escaped to a safe place.
Empress Dowager Zheng wanted to distance herself from Jing Lu's affair in advance so that Jing Yan wouldn't be able to make things difficult for her when he returned. So she pleaded her case to Jing Huaixu every day, telling him about her grievances.
After delivering Jingyan to Zheng Yutong's coffin at the Longevity Hall, they started talking about Yue Jiang.
It's highly likely that An Chenghuan, who was originally married to the Crown Princess of Anguo, didn't forget to humiliate her and was waiting for an opportunity to take her away. How could he suspect her?
Empress Dowager Zheng kept nagging: "If the Crown Prince hadn't taken a fancy to An Chenghuan's wife, how could he have ended up having her snatched away by An Chenghuan? I think..."

With a sharp blade pressed against her neck, Empress Dowager Zheng grabbed Jing Huaixu's robe and cried out in anguish, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion! He wants to kill me!"
Jing Huaixu was also shocked and his face changed drastically. He was about to reprimand Jing Yan for being disrespectful to Empress Dowager Zheng.
Suddenly, Jing Yan threw a box at him. Inside were several letters, including a blood letter written by Yue Jiang.
Jingyan urged, "Father, please take a look at what this is first?"
Jing Huaixu glanced at it and knew it was no small matter. He quickly looked through it carefully, and suddenly a surge of thunderous anger welled up inside him.
Seeing that the situation was unusual, Empress Dowager Cheng took the letter that Jing Huaixu had finished reading and examined it closely. Her eyes went blank, and she burst into tears.
"So it turns out that my elder brother and the late emperor didn't just die at the hands of the Anguo people!"
