Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

Xie Yan was still intoxicated by the gentle fragrance. Xie Qingyao and Xu Mingyue, who had arrived early, were taken to the side hall of Qinzheng Hall by Eunuch Hai.

The warm breakfast was served. Xu Mingyue got closer and smelled it, and only dared to let Xie Qingyao eat it after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it.

"You look good today. Paired with this jade crown, you look like one of those scholars who seduced a noble lady from a wealthy family and sneaked out of the house for you."

Xie Qingyao thought about Xu Mingyue's description and knew that Xu Mingyue's book of words must have added many more categories recently.

But just hearing this statement, Xie Qingyao felt that this scholar must be a sinister man.

"Love should be taken seriously. Madam must not trust such a libertine who leads that noble girl to betray her parents for him."

Xu Mingyue came close to Xie Qingyao's ear and whispered: "Then didn't you make me jump down from the attic to see you every day?"

Xie Qingyao ate the last Yuanbao dumpling, rinsed his mouth with tea, and asked the palace maid to put away his breakfast.

He stood up and walked to Xu Mingyue's side. He bent down and put his hand on the back of the chair. Xie Qingyao put it on Xu Mingyue's earlobe and said seriously: "Then madam, please don't let me go. When you get back, you must use those instruments of torture." Just walk all over me."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can take a walk every day."

"If you don't want to go, you won't go." Xu Mingyue smiled and waved her hands: "If I break you, I will have to spend my money to treat you. How can I do this kind of business that is guaranteed to lose money but not make any profit?"

Xie Qingyao heard the footsteps coming from outside the palace, stood up and sat on his stool: "My wife is obviously distressed. Don't be distressed. You have to be more ruthless to deal with such a scoundrel."

Xu Mingyue smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Don't say that. Now that I think about it, I feel that I am the disciple."

When Xie Chongan entered the side hall, what he saw was Xie Qingyao stretching out his hand, insisting that Xu Mingyue fight.

Xie Chongan frowned subconsciously. He had never seen such a vivid Xu Mingyue.

No matter in the previous life or this life, Xie Chongan had never seen it before.

Loving someone is like nurturing a flower. Xu Mingyue, standing next to Xie Qingyao, could tell at a glance that she was being well-tended.

But, Xie Chongan doesn't love the flower Xu Mingyue.

He didn't care whether the flower was well or not.

What he cares about is whether this flower grows on the most precious soil in the world. What he cares about is whether this flower can make his status more respected.

"The princess has been traveling for half a month, and all the evidence has been destroyed today. Can she still bring the wise king home?"

Xu Mingyue's face changed instantly: "Haha, why don't you thank the prince for splashing the boiling water just right?"

"But please don't worry, Prince. I have kept all the evidence in my mind, and I will be able to recite it directly later."

Xie Qingyao lowered his head to pick up the candied fruit in Xu Mingyue's hand and ate it without even raising his eyelids.

"Princess Princess, there is no need to pretend to be stupid between you and me. Could it be that you have other evidence in your hand?"

"Yes." Xu Mingyue's eyes were provocative: "How about the prince kill me with a sword now? Does the prince dare?"

Xie Chongan's chest rose and fell repeatedly: "I advise the princess not to provoke me, otherwise you won't even be able to collect the whole body."

Xie Qingyao looked at Xie Chongan, his nose was really not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes: "Xie Chongan, you are really boring."

"You insisted on asking, and you feel uncomfortable when you get the answer."

"If I were you, I would just kill him with my sword if I felt unhappy, but you don't dare."

"Xie Chongan, you are really useless."

"Xie Qingyao, you are about to die, Gu!"

Under this tense situation, Eunuch Hai appeared in the side hall with a smile: "Masters, the emperor is awake and summons everyone to the main hall now."

Xu Mingyue fed the last few candied fruits into Xie Qingyao's hands, then took Xie Qingyao's hand and stood up: "Prince, please go first."

Xie Yan sat on the dragon chair. This time, the three people in the hall had a soft stool, and they also had tea given by the emperor.

Eunuch Hai held the fly whisk in his hand and said to everyone: "Half a month has passed. The matter involves the death of three adults, Sun Yicheng, Li Yanzhi, and Xu Mingqing. Now let's ask the prince and the princess to present their evidence."

Xu Mingyue stood up and turned towards Xie Yanfu: "Your Majesty, the cause of this matter is that His Highness the Crown Prince falsely accused my husband of killing three people in a row. I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince should be the first to present the evidence."

"Father, I am worried that someone destroyed my evidence along the way. The witnesses and physical evidence are now hidden in the East Palace. It will take some time to retrieve them."

"If this evidence is presented first, the princess's travels for more than half a month will be wasted. I really can't bear that the princess has gone to waste, so I let the princess speak first."

Xu Mingyue glanced at Xie Qingyao as if he was embarrassed, and then looked at Xie Chongan again: "The prince is sure that I want my concubine to state all the evidence first?"

Xu Mingyue asked about everything, instead of interrupting when Xu Mingyue said something that was not conducive to him.

Xie Chongan nodded towards Xu Mingyue: "Of course, I am a man, so I should give way to the princess."

"Oh..." Xu Mingyue said in a long voice: "Then I reluctantly accepted this favor and asked the prince to prepare all the witnesses and material evidence as soon as possible."

The person who drops the first chess piece in this battle will deny the opponent another chance to speak.

If she loses the first chess piece, Xu Mingyue will fall into a passive position and be led by Xie Chongan. The effectiveness of today's battle will be greatly reduced.

Xie Chongan naturally understands this truth, but Xie Chongan dares to act like this because he does not believe that Xu Mingyue can find out anything useful.

He liked the feeling of despair in giving Xu Mingyue a chance, only to have his hopes dashed in the end.

"Your Majesty, this matter involves the death of three adults. Today I want to seek justice from the prince on behalf of my brother."

As soon as he said this, Xie Chongan was originally worried, but he calmed down.

Even Xie Yan was not interested in such a beginning.

Of course he knew that Xu Mingqing was killed by Xie Chongan, but the death of Xu Mingqing was not a big deal.

But Xie Yan still frowned hypocritically, pretending to be cautious.

"My concubine's father was once rescued by a soldier named Lao Liu on the battlefield, and Lao Liu was poisoned and his throat was broken."

"In gratitude for Lao Liu's life-saving grace, my father not only gave him money to buy a house, but also kept him working as a coachman in the Zhenguo Palace so that he could have a way of making a living without being bullied."

"Everything that was handed over to Lao Liu was extremely important. For example, my brother was sent to Nanjun, and then he was ordered to investigate the death of the late emperor and empress. It was Lao Liu who drove the carriage."

"And my brother was assassinated on his return trip this time. He and his carriage were in such a state, but Lao Liu, the man who drove the carriage, was unscathed. How can he not arouse suspicion?"
