Chapter 178 The Queen Who Used as a Shield in a Good Pregnancy Novel (28)
It must be admitted that Princess Anning was giving her heartfelt advice.
only ... ...
Le Yan sighed. If the original owner were still alive and could hear Princess Anning saying these words to her, she might not have really driven herself to such a state of depression.
Once the filter of prejudice against Li Yanxiu is removed, how could the original owner be so easily manipulated by Li Yanxiu?
It's a pity that Princess Anning's departure from the princess's residence is just a butterfly effect resulting from a series of actions she took.
In the original book, Princess Anning lived in seclusion in the princess's mansion until the original owner of the body passed away. Only then did she come out in disbelief and grief to see the original owner off on her final journey.
Heartbroken, she retreated to the princess's residence again, only emerging when she reached marriageable age.
Le Yan lowered her head and pursed her lips. She felt Princess Anning looking at her expectantly. Not wanting to disappoint this elder who cared about her, she raised her head and nodded solemnly as if she had understood: "Don't worry, Aunt, I will not do anything that harms myself for the benefit of others."
She only knows how to harm others for her own benefit.
Princess Anning looked at her determined expression and knew that she was not just making excuses. She immediately nodded with satisfaction, "That's right. You don't need to worry about anything. Your aunt will always be your support."
"Yan'er, no matter what happens, remember to come find your aunt."
A warm hand patted her own hand, and Le Yan remained silent, lost in thought.
Princess Anning did not stay long. She only offered a few words of comfort to Leyan before preparing to leave the palace with little Chang Le.
Before leaving, Xiao Chang Le ran to Le Yan's side with a grin, and with a huff, took out a pastry from the small pouch at her waist and carefully placed it in Le Yan's hand, saying, "For Auntie, it's delicious!"
After saying that, she didn't wait for Le Yan to say anything, and ran back to Princess Anning's side with her short legs.
Le Yan watched as their figures, one tall and one short, walked hand in hand away from Weiyang Palace. In the sunset, it seemed as if she could still hear their voices.
One is loving, the other is innocent.
"Miss?"
Ruan Ruan leaned closer, bringing Le Yan back to her senses. Le Yan looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Ruan glanced at Princess Anning and Xiao Chang Le, who had already walked away, pursed her lips, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, the system just told me some news."
Seeing her angry expression, Le Yan had a feeling that the news was very serious.
Furthermore, it should be related to Princess Anning and her granddaughter who left.
Having only met them once, Le Yan, who already felt a deep fondness for them, instantly darkened her expression and said, "Speak."
Without any hesitation, Ruan Ruan said directly, "The system found that the reason why Princess Anning's son and daughter-in-law died on the battlefield two years ago was not an accident, but a deliberate trap."
"And the mastermind behind all this is that dog emperor, Li Yanxiu!"
Hearing this shocking truth, Le Yan clenched her fists. "You bastard!"
If she remembered correctly, Princess Anning treated Li Yanxiu very well, right?
When Li Yanxiu was young, when he was not favored by the late emperor and was bullied by his brothers, Princess Anning would protect him whenever she encountered him and would introduce him to the late emperor. It can be said that Princess Anning was definitely the biggest benefactor on Li Yanxiu's road to seizing the throne.
In fact, if the two of them weren't aunt and niece, this experience would have been written as Li Yanxiu's white moonlight redeeming him in other books.
As it turned out, that bastard not only showed no gratitude, but also maliciously set a trap to kill Princess Anning's son and daughter-in-law, leaving her, nearing fifty, to have to bury her children.
Is this something a human being could do?!
Ruan Ruan spoke softly, "Compared to the Zhenbei Army under the Zhenbei Marquis, the kindness of Princess Anning is nothing."
Marquis Zhenbei was a famous general who helped the late emperor conquer the country. His Zhenbei Army was invincible and never lost a battle.
Princess Anning married the Marquis of Zhenbei. However, the late emperor could not tolerate his powerful brother, so he plotted against the Marquis of Zhenbei during a battle, causing Princess Anning to lose her husband at a young age.
At that time, the military seal of the Zhenbei Army was not obtained by the late emperor, but was hidden by Princess Anning. After all, she was his own sister, and the late emperor could not bring himself to harm her.
Later, Princess Anning's son grew up and inherited the title of Marquis of Zhenbei. By the time he took control of the Zhenbei Army, the late emperor had already passed away. It was then Li Yanxiu's turn to covet the Zhenbei Army and be wary of his cousin, the Marquis of Zhenbei.
He was ruthless and cruel, and his methods were always consistent. Two years ago, during the war between the Li Kingdom and the barbarians, when the new Marquis of Zhenbei won against the barbarians, Li Yanxiu arranged for his men to kill him and his wife on the battlefield.
Similarly, Li Yanxiu also failed to obtain the Zhenbei Army's military tally.
Although he really wanted it, Princess Anning was unwilling to hand it over, and there was nothing he could do to her.
Putting everything else aside, this aunt was indeed his benefactor.
So he thought, forget it. Fortunately, the Zhenbei Marquis lineage only has one daughter left. Even if the Zhenbei Army's military seal is in the hands of the eldest princess, it cannot threaten his imperial power.
Therefore, Li Yanxiu allowed Princess Anning to hold the military seal.
As for the things he did behind the scenes, just like what the late emperor did, he kept them completely hidden. Princess Anning still doesn't know that her husband and son were all killed by her supposedly good brother and nephew.
She held the military tally in her hand, refusing to hand it over no matter what. It wasn't that she had any designs on her brother and nephew; it was simply because it was a token of their betrothal.
That was her wish; she never intended to give it away.
But unexpectedly, this became a death knell for her son and daughter-in-law.
Le Yan leaned against the table, her mind a jumble of thoughts. She wanted to curse, but didn't know how.
The late emperor, Li Yanxiu, they truly were father and son.
Biting her lip, Le Yan wondered whether she should tell Princess Anning the truth.
As if reading her mind, Ruan Ruan spoke up the moment the thought crossed her mind: "Your Highness, should we tell Princess Anning the truth behind this?"
No matter how you look at it, that was the truth about the deaths of her husband, son, and daughter-in-law. Although it was painful, she had the right to know everything.
Le Yan blinked, rubbing her temples with a slight headache: "Let me think."
