Half an hour later.
The person in his arms had cried until her eyes were swollen, and if it wasn't for the sake of comforting her,
she probably wouldn't stop until midnight.
At this moment, Lin Jiaojiao was just lightly sobbing, pressed against the man's chest. She wasn't sad, but rather feeling uncomfortable and in pain,
In her previous life, Yan Sihan hadn't been so "heartbroken" for her, so she was quite content now.
Yan Sihan was gently patting her back, which had a calming effect, like how one would soothe a child.
She looked up with tearful eyes to meet Yan Sihan's gaze, and saw a trace of self-blame there.
For a moment, Lin Jiaojiao's mind was filled with thoughts. In her previous life, she'd never shown such weakness, but now, it seemed like she had become more delicate.
"Tomorrow, this king will be visiting the Iron-blood Camp outside the city." Yan Sihan spoke softly, as if he was telling her something yet also testing her.
Upon hearing that he was going to the Iron-blood Camp, she suddenly felt sorry for Yan Sihan. Though they were newlyweds, he was already busy with the state affairs due to the young emperor's incompetence.
However, that wasn't the most important issue. It was because she had been trying to clear up misunderstandings with Yan Sihan that she hadn't informed him of the crucial information earlier.
But now, it wasn't too late.
Worried, she spoke: "Yan Sihan, there are assassins hiding near the official road ten miles outside the city."
Her words were simple, clear, and easy to understand.
Because the road passed through a forest, it was a perfect spot for assassins to hide.
In her previous life, there had been an incident where the Regent encountered an assassination attempt. As not many guards were with him during the trip, Yan Sihan was injured, his arm slashed open, and a guard got an arrow in his abdomen, his life hanging by a thread.
Eventually, this matter was traced back to a martial organization, but the identity of the mastermind remained unknown.
Since she had the advantage of rebirth, she should at least try to help him avoid danger, even if it wasn't all of it.
At this moment, Yan Sihan stopped patting her back and looked at her with a narrow gaze, a dangerous glint passing through his eyes.
There appeared to be a faint smile on his face, yet it was elusive.
Feeling inexplicably guilty, she wondered if he thought she had received the news and then betrayed him.
As she averted her eyes, the man's slender fingers gently lifted her chin, "Not going to be a little liar anymore? Want to be a little traitor instead?"
His words were mocking.
Feeling annoyed and embarrassed, she had no reason to lash out and could only glare at him with her teary apricot eyes, appearing somewhat wronged.
"There, there." The man's face softened, and his tone became indulgent.
"Starting tomorrow, you can move freely within the mansion."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao was slightly taken aback. Was this his way of lifting her grounded state?
Although it was only within the mansion, having that freedom was still better than being confined to the courtyard.
After tomorrow, it would be time for her return visit, and she hoped Yan Sihan could accompany her.
In her previous life, she had gone back home alone and had been arranged by Lin Qinghua to meet with Yan Nanchen in the bamboo grove at the back of the Lin Mansion, "secretly."
It was strange that when the Late Emperor was alive, Lin Qinghua had already become the wife of the sixth prince, Yan Nanchen, and was now Princess Duan,
Yet she still had the intention to bring her and Yan Nanchen together, even arguing with Lin Zhengyang for the first time when she was about to get married.
She never had any feelings for Yan Nanchen, only thinking that he could help her with her revenge.
Looking back now, this couple had been scheming all along, trying to control her through marriage to the Regent King's Mansion.
"Yan Sihan, can you accompany me on my return visit the day after tomorrow?" Her apricot eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"Alright."
Upon receiving his response, Lin Jiaojiao's mind became set.
Yan Sihan called her a "little traitor," so now that this "little traitor" was turning over a new leaf, it would be a shame not to act as a spy on his behalf.
