Rebirth as Princess Jin again

At the same time, the eldest princess Situ Xue was already rushing towards the capital non-stop. She had to get to the capital before Situ Jin and others.

Finally entering the capital, she did not enter the palace directly. After all, she had been married to a border town for many years. Now that her husband was dead, she had to obtain Situ Lin's order to enter the capital. She had no choice but to go to the residence of her grandfather Chen Xiao.

When Concubine Chen heard that her father had come to the palace, she hurriedly ordered people to invite Chen Xiao into the palace.

When Chen Xiao came in and was about to salute, Concubine Chen stepped forward and said, "Father, there is no need to be polite! Do you have something to do in the palace today?"

Chen Xiao glanced at the palace man next to him. Concubine Chen understood and motioned for the palace man to go out.

But after everyone left, Chen Xiao brought in a man wearing a cloak from outside the palace. His figure looked like a woman.

When the woman put down her curtain and hat, Concubine Chen looked at Situ Xue who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise, whom she had not seen for many years: "Xue'er, you...why are you back?"

Tears flashed in Situ Xue's eyes, and she knelt on the ground with a plop: "Mother, concubine, please save me!"

Concubine Chen was shocked and hurriedly helped her up from the ground: "What...what happened? But there is a war in the border town?"

Situ Xue nodded, then shook his head and pursed his lips in silence.

Concubine Chen became more and more anxious, and her voice was a bit sharp: "What happened?"

Situ Xue had no choice but to tell what happened in the border town. Situ Xue didn't even tell Concubine Chen about the gold mine in the border town, for fear of leaking the matter.

But over the years, she has sent many good things to the capital more or less in the name of honoring her mother and concubine.

Concubine Chen only regarded her daughter as a filial piety, and never thought that the emperor had sent her own daughter to monitor Zhou Wei, but her own daughter was deeply in love with his daughter and was colluding with Zhou Wei.

No wonder no one has ever leaked anything about the border town in so many years. Situ Xue was so cruel that even she, the mother-in-law, never revealed anything.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Concubine Chen immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, but this incident also shocked her.

The first thing she did when she regained consciousness was to look at her father and asked in a trembling voice: "Father, please think of a way to save Xue'er!"

Chen Xiao sighed.

Concubine Chen was a little angry and pointed at Situ Xue and scolded: "How could you hide this from your father? Don't you know your father's temper?"

Situ Xue said helplessly: "But what can Erchen do? Erchen also wanted to tell his father back then. Zhou Wei sent people to watch me every day, how could I pass on the news, and Erchen also For the sake of my two younger brothers, I thought that in the future, when Zhou Wei becomes more powerful, he can help his two younger brothers seize the throne, so that my mother and concubine can have an easier life in the future. But how did I know that he was actually thinking of betraying me and taking all the gold? Moved to the Western Region!"

Concubine Chen took a deep breath and said angrily: "Zhou Wei also conspired to rebel, were you involved?"

Situ Xue shook his head: "He wanted to kill me, Lao Si and Lao Qi at that time, but Lao Qi's princess and her people showed up in time and saved us. Now the crisis in the Western Region has been lifted, and the border town has been recovered, but I What should I do? Concubine, you must save me!"

Listening to Situ Xue's words, Concubine Chen felt a little relieved. Fortunately, she didn't follow in the rebellion, otherwise the matter would be irreversible.

Seeing that she was silent, Situ Xue pulled her sleeves and begged: "Mother, my concubine, although I did something wrong, I still care about my two younger brothers and my concubine. For the sake of my filial piety, my concubine , save your son, my mother and concubine..."

Concubine Chen was upset and agitated by what she said, so she threw her hand away and said, "Let me think about it carefully!"

Chen Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, now spoke: "My dear, there is only one way to go now?"

Concubine Chen raised her eyes to look at her father and asked, "What does father think his daughter should do?"

Chen Xiao said slowly: "Let the princess bring the account book to plead guilty to the emperor in person. Although the emperor is very suspicious, if the eldest princess can take the initiative to plead guilty at this moment, and the empress is there to mention the eldest princess's suffering, the emperor may give a lighter punishment!"

Concubine Chen paced back and forth in the palace, thinking carefully about Chen Xiao's words. After a while, she gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind, leading Situ Xue towards the imperial study.

But before she and the others reached the door, the palace attendants from outside hurried in, looking flustered: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here. He has now arrived at the palace gate and will come in soon."

"Your Majesty, please get out of the way first!" Chen Xiao cupped his hands. If the emperor saw him here, he would definitely suspect that all this was his idea, so he had better avoid it for the time being.

Concubine Chen took off Situ Xue's cloak, straightened the bun on her head with her own hands, and comforted her: "My mother is here, don't worry!"

As soon as Situ Lin walked into the door of the dormitory, he saw a woman following Guifei Chen. The woman lowered her head and could not see her face clearly.

He looked at it curiously and asked, "Is there anyone in the imperial concubine's palace today?"

Concubine Chen hurriedly pulled Situ Xue to her knees and said in a painful voice: "Your Majesty, I have failed to educate my daughter. Please punish me!"

Situ Lin frowned and looked at Situ Xue who was kneeling behind her: "Raise your head!"

Situ Xue raised her eyes to look at Situ Lin, then quickly lowered her head and shouted: "My son, please see your father!"

Situ Lin was startled, and then shouted tentatively: "Are you Xue'er?"

Situ Xue pressed her forehead against the cold floor: "My son is guilty. He returned to the capital without being summoned by my father. Please forgive me!"

Situ Lin looked down at Concubine Chen who was weeping: "What happened?"

Concubine Chen shed tears and said: "Your Majesty, it was Zhou Wei who secretly opened a gold mine in the border town, colluded with the Western Regions, and became rebellious. He actually paid all the mined gold mines to the regent of the Western Regions. Xue'er has long discovered his conspiracy, but Zhou Wei in the north of the city is controlling it, so Xue'er cannot report the situation to the emperor, so please forgive me!"

Situ Lin's face darkened: "Since Zhou Wei controls the entire border town, how did she escape now?"

Seeing that Situ Lin was suspicious, Situ Xue choked up and said: "It's Lao Qi. He suddenly came to the border town and discovered something unusual, so he transferred Yancheng's defenders to the border town. He saw through Zhou Wei's conspiracy with the Western Regions and saved the country. My dear, my dear, I have just rushed back day and night to report the news to my father!"

Situ Lin looked at Situ Xue for a moment and said calmly: "Do you really have no chance to tell me about this?"

Situ Xue was shocked. Could it be that Situ Jin had ordered someone to inform his father about the situation in the border town in advance?

No, it's impossible. Border town officials colluded at all levels, so how could Situ Jin pass on the news.
