After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

In her last life, Yun Chen saved her at Cuiheng Mountain, but everything was in such a hurry at that time that she had no time to ask why Yun Chen appeared there.

But yesterday, Yun Chen suddenly appeared silently in the back garden of the Hou Mansion, saying that he had met Xiao Jinzhi at Cuiheng Mountain, and Xiao Jinzhi hoped that he could return to the imperial city to protect himself.

She had already thought of this plan at that time, the only thing missing was someone to help her escape, and Yun Chen's appearance was just right.

But in order to prevent others from discovering that Yun Chen had gone back, she didn't ask any more questions. She just asked Yun Chen to leave quietly and hide in the dark to help her complete this plan.

"If I say that I didn't go up to the mountains to be a bandit, would you believe me, Miss?"

"Of course I believe it." Chu Huanyan said without hesitation.

Hearing Chu Huanyan's words, Yun Chen was obviously relieved, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.

"About a month ago, I happened to encounter a caravan that was robbed by bandits from Cuiheng Mountain. When we were in Jiangnan, I had a relationship with the owner of that family, but I didn't expect that when we met again, he was already dying. Later. , I also learned that many people were harassed by bandits in Cuiheng Mountain, but the local government was powerless, so I tried to find a way to enter Cuiheng Mountain."

The original plan was to find out the layout of the village and the arrangement of sentries in the forest, and then pass the news to the government.

Unexpectedly, the bandits were very cautious and often changed the sentry arrangements. Although he was appreciated for his martial arts, he had not yet been able to fully gain their trust. If he wanted to know the sentry arrangements, he could only observe them secretly. As for some hidden sentry points, it would be difficult for him to discover them if he were not careful.

Just when he was thinking about finding an opportunity to kill the boss, Xiao Jinzhi arrived with the people who surrendered the bandits. After the meeting, he hesitated and chose not to take action for the time being, so as not to affect Xiao Jinzhi's plan to capture the bandits.

"So that's it." After hearing what Yun Chen said, Chu Huanyan's doubts were cleared, "What about the situation of Xiao Jinzhi's capture of the bandits?"

"Before I leave quietly, there is no progress yet. But..." Yun Chen paused, "I think Xiao Jinzhi can do it."

Those bandits are indeed difficult to deal with, but Xiao Jinzhi should have a way to deal with them, and the night Xiao Jinzhi sneaked into the stronghold, he also said that he would come back as soon as possible, because... there are still people waiting in the imperial city. he.

"I also believe Xiao Jinzhi can do it." Chu Huanyan said softly.

The only thing that worried her was the methods that Emperor Xiao might use.

However, even so, she still believed in Xiao Jinzhi.

What she can do now is to confuse Emperor Xiao's sight as much as possible and distract him.

Of course, these now depend on Xiao Rongxuan.

……

Imperial City, Luoying Lake.

The entire studio had searched back and forth several times, but still no evidence was found. Just when Xiao Rongxuan was wondering if he had been deceived, a guard lay on the board of the ship to report.

"Your Highness, this ship seems to have a mezzanine floor."

Hearing this, Xiao Rongxuan quickly stepped forward, leaned down and knocked on the ship's board carefully, and found that the sound was indeed wrong.

"Get out of the way!" Xiao Rongxuan immediately ordered the guard on the side.

The guard hurriedly took the order, pulled out his sword, and pried it along the gap.

There was only a click sound, and the ship plank was pried open, but before the guards could be happy, they discovered that there was a large wooden plug attached to the pried ship plank.

As the ship's planks were pried open and the wooden plugs were pulled out, lake water instantly surged up from the bottom of the ship.

The wooden box that was originally fixed in the mezzanine was instantly submerged by the lake water.

Xiao Rongxuan didn't care much and quickly reached for the wooden box, but found that the wooden box was fixed firmly and he couldn't pick it up at all.

Seeing more and more water coming in from the bottom of the boat, Mu Feng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, get up quickly, it's dangerous!"

The hull of the ship had begun to sink significantly. Xiao Rongxuan could only open the wooden box and quickly went ashore with the soaked letter.

Not long after they got on, the boat sank.

"It seems that Chu Huanyan has made preparations a long time ago. If the mechanism is not found or a suitable position is found, water will leak if the ship is forced open." Mu Feng frowned and looked at the almost completely submerged boat.

Originally, he was a little confused and felt that Chu Huanyan gave the news too easily, but now it seems that he has really overthought it.

Chu Huanyan probably felt that there was no hope of escape, so she was prepared to simply destroy the evidence so that no one could get it.

Xiao Rongxuan looked at the soaked envelope in his hand, wiped it with his sleeve, and finally opened it with a glimmer of hope.

But after taking out the paper inside, the handwriting on it was already blurred, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Damn it!" Xiao Rongxuan gritted his teeth in anger, "Damn Chu Huanyan, let her escape like that today, it's really easy for her!"

"Your Highness, although there is no personal letter from the Emperor, there are two other pieces of evidence in your hands. If used properly, they should be of great use, but..." Mu Feng paused and did not finish his words.

Xiao Rongxuan snorted coldly, took over his words and said, "It's just that now that Chu Huanyan has been rescued, she may not be able to find a way to fight back after she returns to the imperial city, so this prince must seize the time."

The evidence that was finally obtained cannot be turned into a waste.

"Go home and change your clothes. This prince is going to the palace."

"Your Highness, have you really thought about it?" Mu Feng asked, "It's best to plan this matter carefully and observe the emperor's reaction. If you rush into the palace at this time, if you anger the emperor... "

"My prince cannot wait that long." Xiao Rongxuan interrupted Mu Feng, "We must seize the time to enter the palace. As for my father's reaction, we can also take the opportunity to observe."

Anyway, he didn't intend to directly threaten his father with the evidence, but he had to show his cards quickly before Chu Huanyan came up with a sabotage trick.

Seeing Xiao Rongxuan being like this, Mu Feng didn't say anything more and followed Xiao Rongxuan back to the Third Prince's Mansion quickly.

And when Xiao Rongxuan finished changing and entered the palace to ask for an audience, Emperor Xiao had just heard the news from the person who was monitoring Chu Huanyan.

"This treacherous son!" Emperor Xiao threw the memorial in his hand, "He entered the palace in such a hurry, could he be trying to threaten me?"

He never expected that Xuan'er would be involved in this matter, and even got the evidence from Chu Huanyan's hands. It seems that I still underestimated this son, and actually wanted to seize him as my father!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Why don't you meet the Third Prince first and listen to what he has to say. Maybe he stole the evidence for you, Your Majesty." Eunuch Zheng lowered his head and persuaded.

Emperor Xiao frowned. Although he was still unhappy after hearing Eunuch Zheng's words, after thinking for a moment, he still felt a sense of expectation in his heart.

"That's all, let him in first!"
