He hadn't been to the harem for a long time, and he wasn't even interested in that anymore.

Until he met her, his world seemed to come alive and was no longer boring.

He must get her!

Xu Jinyi didn't know whether to believe what he said, but she still took the jade pendant he forced on her and left.

A few days later, news came back that Xu Haoran led troops to suppress the bandits and defeated them, but died at the hands of the bandits.

Xu Jinyi fell to the ground as if the sky had fallen.

"No, no, father, my brother has won the battle against the Huns, how could he die at the sword of a mere bandit? There must be a mistake, right?"

Prime Minister Xu's face was gloomy, and he threw away the crying Xu Jinyi. His face was full of impatience: "I have claimed the body. Your brother has done a good job in suppressing bandits. What will others think of you crying like this?"

Xu Jinyi fell to the ground, lowered her head, and clenched her hands under her sleeves.

It was like this in his previous life. His father clearly noticed something was wrong with the body, but he still recognized it.

Immediately afterwards, her brother was buried quickly without letting her see him at all, for fear that she would find out the clues.

In his eyes, their brother and sister couldn't even compare to Xu Youran's brother and sister's hair.

He didn't care about their life or death at all, their brother and sister's existence was just to give him the upper hand.

Ouyang Zhixia cried and fainted when she heard the news, clamoring to come and see Xu Haoran off for the last time.

He even threatened to stay married to Xu Haoran for the rest of his life, which made Ouyang's parents fall ill.

Only in this way did Ouyang Zhixia stop wanting to become a nun.

Over there, Xu Haoran woke up in shock, and what came to his mind was Chen Ziyi's face when he fainted.

Before he could figure out why Chen Ziyi would attack him after he killed the bandits, a stone door next to him was opened.

Xu Haoran's expression suddenly changed, and Xu Haoran understood immediately when he saw the princess' figure.

"Did you bribe Ziyi?"

Xu Haoran looked at the secret room and the long chains on his feet. He realized that he was imprisoned, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

The corner of the princess's lips curled up: "I said, there is nothing that I can't get. In the end, you fell into my hands."

The princess put the rice on the table, and then walked up to Xu Haoran. Looking at his majestic face, broad shoulders, and strong body, the princess happily reached out to touch his face.

Xu Haoran turned his head sideways with gloomy eyes and stood up.

"Why would the princess do such an unbecoming royal act for the sake of my minister? If this spreads out and offends the emperor, the princess will lose more than she gains."

The princess chuckled: "Don't worry, no one will know about this."

Xu Haoran looked over with confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Yesterday, the Prime Minister's office was busy with a white matter, and the news of your heroic death in the line of duty has been widely spread."

Xu Haoran's eyes were as sinister as copper bells and he glared at the princess as if he wanted to kill someone: "Impossible? Even if you get away with finding a corpse, they will definitely recognize it."

"Your conspiracy will not succeed. Once discovered and someone investigates, this matter will be discovered."

"I advise the princess to let me go now, and just pretend that what happened today didn't happen."

The princess looked at him with half-smiling eyes: "Do you think I would do something so blatantly without your parents' consent?"

Xu Haoran clenched his fists, his eyes were full of hatred, and his chest was bulging, showing that he was very angry.

"My father also knows?!"

"Of course, when I asked him to identify the body, he recognized it. But if you give him some benefits, he will sell you."

"In order to fear that your sister would do something bad, even though she cried and begged and her head was smashed, she was not able to see the body and even fainted from crying."

"Don't look at me like that. If you want, you should hate your snobbish father. I thought I would have to convince your father, but I never thought he would sell you so easily."

Xu Haoran stared with big eyes, and when he heard that his sister fainted and knocked her head after hearing the news of his death, his eyes were horrifying.

He was breathing heavily and his whole body was shaking.

He couldn't imagine how his weak little sister would face those jackals, tigers and leopards alone.

"Let me go!!"

Xu Haoran swung the chain hard, making a clanging sound.

"As long as you are willing to become my county horse and marry me, I will naturally let you go."

After saying that, the princess was about to lean over, but Xu Haoran still ducked sideways.

The princess smiled and was not in a hurry. She wanted to see how long this man could be stubborn.

She has plenty of time.

When news of Xu Haoran's death came back, the emperor also received the news, and the first thing he thought of was Xu Jinyi.

He was worried about her situation in the Prime Minister's Palace, and although he wanted to directly issue an order for her to enter the palace, he was afraid that she would not want to, so he did not do so.

He knew that those in the Prime Minister's Mansion would definitely attack Xu Jinyi, and he also knew their purpose of raising Xu Jinyi.

But he just sent a secret guard to protect Xu Jinyi. He wanted Xu Jinyi to know that coming to him was her best choice.

As soon as Xu Haoran died, Wu Ziqian couldn't wait any longer and came to urge him several times.

"You kid, why are you so anxious? Xu Haoran just married off his sister as a concubine after his death. What will outsiders think?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Xu Youran is the happiest person because happy events have been coming one after another recently.

Not only did she get rid of Xu Haoran, the nuisance, the prince also developed feelings for her, and even Chen Ziyi, who had been having trouble, took the bait.

"Mom, my cousin is so anxious, why don't we just send him over quietly."

"She hasn't gone out anyway, and no one will be looking for her. It would be better to wait for a while before revealing the news that she is a concubine."

Wu Ziqian simply felt that his cousin Xu Youran was a great help to him, and he nodded like a chicken.

"Aunt, it's okay to raise it anyway. When I train you, those old ministers will enjoy it more happily, won't they?"

Wu glanced at the two of them angrily: "Okay, okay, I'll talk to the prime minister tonight, you go back and wait."

"Thank you, auntie."

Mrs. Wu also loved her nephew very much: "You, now the emperor has promised to have an heir. Although Crown Prince Xihe and Chen Ziyi have the highest supporters in the court, you are not bad at all. If you perform well, you may not be in trouble." Opportunity."

"Besides, your little aunt is still a noble concubine. She can help find out the news in the palace. Who does the emperor prefer in the end? Your little aunt can also give you some advice."

"Don't go to the Flower House recently. If you are caught by the Crown Prince or others, it will leave a bad impression on His Majesty."

"If you can become the heir and sit in that position, our Wu family will be proud of our ancestors, and the ancestral graves will be filled with smoke."

As soon as it was announced that the emperor would decide who his heir would be based on their performance when he went to court, the scene in Beijing suddenly changed.
