After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 446 News
Jinse stayed in the Twelfth Prince's residence, and apart from being busy occasionally, her days were mostly peaceful and quiet.

In any case, compared to her days in the Imperial Tea Room, Jinse feels that she is now living a more relaxed and fulfilling life.

There are things to do every day, but being busy is just being busy. You don't have to be on edge all day, you don't have to worry about running into some concubine in the Imperial Garden, and you don't have to worry about being schemed against by someone...

Only the twelfth prince was a bit of a nuisance.

He often dragged her out to eat and play, and started to become less enthusiastic about her studies.

Jinse initially didn't dare to interfere, but seeing that Lin Yi and Lin Shun both seemed to ignore it, she hesitated for a moment, but eventually couldn't help but say a few words.

Although he was a prince and could rely on his father for support, the twelfth prince was still just a prince. He had many brothers and sisters, and his biological mother had passed away...

If only the emperor, his father, stopped caring about him, or if only the emperor, his father, suddenly…

Well, in short, if the twelfth prince wants to have a good future, he should take his studies seriously at this stage.

Jinse tossed and turned, and after realizing that no one was watching the twelfth prince's studies, she felt it was inappropriate and had no choice but to take over herself.

At least the twelfth prince listened to advice.

As long as Jinse spoke, the Twelfth Prince would take it more seriously, and as a result, Jinse became even more diligent in keeping an eye on the Twelfth Prince.

Lin Yi and Lin Shun were watching from the side at this time.

Lin Shun really wanted to say something about it.

But Lin Yi was quick-witted and nimble, always managing to swallow back what Lin Shun was about to say.

Lin Yi thought to himself, "It's only because he's so magnanimous that the number one person in front of my prince isn't Lin Shun, that simpleton. It can only be me, okay?"

He didn't even realize that his own prince's lack of ambition these days was clearly intentional, a ploy to provoke Jinse into keeping him in check.

Now that His Highness has gotten his wish, if Lin Shun dares to spout any nonsense...

Ha ha!

He was kind-hearted, and he saved Lin Shun every time.

He's such a generous and kind person!

Jinse was unaware of the subtle interactions between the two brothers.

After settling the twelfth prince, who wanted to wander out of the mansion, back into his study to do his homework, Jinse instructed Lin Shun and Lin Yi to stay and keep watch, while she hurried off to the main kitchen.

The twelfth prince said that as the weather got hotter, he wanted to eat jelly with lots of fruit.

Upon hearing this, Jinse naturally wouldn't disappoint the Twelfth Prince.

So even if it's just a simple matter of asking someone to pass on a message, she's willing to personally run to the main kitchen under the scorching sun.

Lin Shun finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Your Highness, didn't you finish your studies last night...?"

Lin Yi stood to the side, not wanting to move an inch.

Since Miss Jinse wasn't here right now, he didn't bother covering Lin Shun's mouth anymore.

The twelfth prince, his hand still holding the pen, didn't even glance at Lin Shun: "There are some melon seeds over there. Go eat some if you have nothing to do."

Don't mutter useless things in front of him for no reason.

Lin Shun stared at the twelfth prince for a while, then, quite displeased, picked up the melon seed plate and started cracking melon seeds.

Lin Yi waited until Lin Shun had squatted in the corner before stepping forward, taking out the secret letter from his sleeve and handing it to him with both hands: "Your Highness, the spies from Daliang have sent a message."

The twelfth prince's eyes sharpened slightly. He tossed aside his brush and took the note. Ever since the Crown Prince of Liang had shown great interest in Jinse during his visit to the capital years ago, the twelfth prince had been gradually planting spies throughout the Liang capital…

Previously, there wasn't much information, and the people there didn't have very close contact with those here.

However, it seems that there have been constant frictions on the border between Daliang and Dasheng recently, and that person from Fengzhao Palace has started targeting Jinse again.

The twelfth prince then instructed Lin Yi to maintain close contact with his spies in Daliang.

Secret messages are usually sent out at fixed times, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

It's not time to send out messages yet, so how come there's news all of a sudden?
After opening and reading the secret letter, the twelfth prince understood why there had been a sudden message.

News came from the spies in Daliang that the emperor of Daliang had passed away late two nights ago, and the crown prince of Daliang had taken over the reins and would soon hold his enthronement ceremony.

Upon hearing this news, the twelfth prince subconsciously frowned.

He had previously instructed the people he sent to Daliang to try to stir up trouble regarding the Crown Prince of Daliang, and he remembered that it had been quite effective.

The princes of Liang gradually became restless, and the Emperor of Liang no longer fully trusted the Crown Prince...

If he calculates well, even if the Crown Prince of Liang is not dethroned, he should be sidelined for a long time.

Looking back now...

He really hadn't expected this; the Crown Prince of Liang was indeed a ruthless person.

The secret letter said that the Emperor of Liang died of illness, but considering the timing of his death and the reaction of the Crown Prince of Liang after his death, the Twelfth Prince really couldn't believe that the Emperor of Liang had simply died of illness.

The Crown Prince of Liang has officially ascended to the throne, which is not good news for the Twelfth Prince.

Lin Yi stood aside and noticed that after his lord read the secret letter, his face grew increasingly pale and his breathing became increasingly heavy.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yi cautiously asked, "Your Highness? Is there some bad news coming from Daliang?"

The twelfth prince paused for a moment.

He casually handed the secret letter to Lin Yi: "Read it yourself!"

Lin Yi hurriedly took it with both hands, and after a careful look, he gasped: "This, this is too sudden. Didn't the last message say that the Emperor of Liang was watching his sons fight with a cold eye and seemed quite at ease?"

So, he'll die now?

They even tried to cover it up by saying he died of illness; who could believe that?
Lin Yi blew on the tinderbox to burn the secret letter, then pondered and asked, "Your Highness, could it be that the Crown Prince of Daliang did this?"

The twelfth prince did not speak, but his meaning was self-evident.

Lin Yi took another deep breath and then fell silent.

Lin Shun, who had been munching on melon seeds for a while, came over and said calmly, "What's so strange about that? Last time when the Crown Prince of Liang came, I felt that he didn't look like a good person."

Lin Yi turned to look at Lin Shun.

So if you don't think the other person is a good person, you wouldn't be surprised if they killed their own father, right?
Lin Shun, holding the plate of melon seeds, turned to look at Lin Yi and asked with a curious expression, "Why are you looking at me?"

Lin Yi silently shook his head: "It's nothing."

The twelfth prince spoke up: "This is no small matter. I imagine the palace will receive the news in a couple of days, and Father will likely have a response."

Since Princess Liuyu's death, there have been constant frictions on the border between Daliang and Dasheng, with wars of varying sizes breaking out from time to time, and the conflict has not yet subsided.

Now that the emperor of Liang is about to be replaced, Dasheng must also make some preparations.
