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

"Reporting to your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has achieved great success in capturing the bandits. Now most of the bandits in Cuiheng Mountain have been captured. The remaining small number of bandits are wandering around, and the local government has also sent troops to hunt them down."

After hearing the report, Xiao Rongxuan's face instantly turned ugly.

Xiao Jinzhi actually solved the problem of surrendering the bandits so quickly?

Although I have recently used Chunwei to try to win over people and cultivate my own strength, the effect has not been good, and not many people are willing to join him. Although there are some who are aware of current affairs, there is no guarantee that these people will be able to stand out in the court for the time being.

At this time, if Xiao Jinzhi comes back, maybe he can seize the last opportunity to win over. This is really not good news for him!

After Emperor Xiao heard the news, his eyes stayed on Xiao Rongxuan's face. He waved his hand to signal the person who reported the news to leave.

"Have you heard clearly? Xiao Jinzhi has made great achievements in suppressing bandits. After returning to the imperial city this time, more and more people will support him. Just you, do you really think you can fight Xiao Jinzhi?"

He quite understands this son.

Although he is not stupid, he is not an extremely smart person either. When times are good, you may still be rational and calm, and go smoothly. But once faced with adversity, it is very easy to lose control. The news that Xiao Jinzhi successfully captured the bandits was like a thunder to his son, and it was enough to make him confused.

Xiao Rongxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I can follow your instructions, but the evidence... I cannot give it to my father for the time being."

Only by holding the evidence in his own hands could he have the confidence to bargain with his father. Once everything is gone, who can guarantee that he will be driven by his father? After helping him, once he is no longer useful, he will be kicked away.

The love between father and son and brotherhood are all ridiculous to the royal family. My father was able to kill his brothers and his wife, so he might not be able to kill his own son.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room was tense.

Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Rongxuan, his majestic eyes were like hot coals, so hot that people subconsciously wanted to shrink back.

Xiao Rongxuan swallowed secretly, his heart beating faster.

Time passed bit by bit, and just when he was shuddering at the sight and almost wanted to give in, Emperor Xiao finally spoke.

"Okay. But if the evidence is known to others... you should know what I will do."

"My son understands. Please rest assured, father, I will definitely keep the evidence." Xiao Rongxuan paused and then added, "Of course, my son will also complete the tasks assigned by my father and will never let him." Father is disappointed."

"Okay, then you first try to kill Chu Huanyan for me." Emperor Xiao's eyes were vicious.

Chu Huanyan knew too many things, and she couldn't keep them any longer. Since Xiao Jinzhi successfully captured the bandits and was proud of his success, he would give him a head-on blow.

More importantly, Xiao Jinzhi is now safe and sound, which means that the secret move he made may have been ruined. It would be even more difficult to move Xiao Jinzhi again.

If their relationship is really as deep as it seems now, if something happens to Chu Huanyan, Xiao Jinzhi will definitely be in chaos. At that time, he can take advantage of it and take action.

"Father, don't worry. As soon as I return to the house, I will let someone sneak in..."

"What I want is for you to kill her fair and square. No one can question this."

If he just sent someone to assassinate him, then why let Xiao Rongxuan do it?

What he wanted was to kill her openly and honestly. No matter how hard Xiao Jinzhi tried, he couldn't find anything that could be used to question his decision.

Xiao Rongxuan frowned. It was too difficult to find a reason to kill Chu Huanyan openly.

"Father..."

"If you can't do it, don't mention anything other than the prince in front of me. You are not worthy." Emperor Xiao's cold and ruthless voice came directly to me.

Xiao Rongxuan's breath was stagnant. Although he was dissatisfied, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely be able to find a way to kill Chu Huanyan in a fair and just way!"

This was not only to do things for his father, but also to vent his own hatred.

Seeing Xiao Rongxuan like this, Emperor Xiao nodded and waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.

And the moment Xiao Rongxuan stepped out of the imperial study, the satisfaction that was not obvious on Xiao Emperor's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the Third Prince's Mansion and try to find evidence." His tone was cold and icy.

"Yes." Eunuch Zheng nodded in agreement. After speaking, he looked at Emperor Xiao carefully, "Your Majesty, please don't be too angry. The third prince may be just confused for a moment."

"Hmph, I feel like he looks like an emperor now."

The most ruthless emperor's family, those who hold high positions are inherently lonely. If they have too many worries, how can they secure this position?

"Your Majesty, you have already..." Eunuch Zheng paused in the middle of his words, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I have no intention of prying into Your Majesty's thoughts."

"It doesn't matter." Emperor Xiao shook his head and his gaze stayed at the door of the Imperial Study Room. "Although he has some appearance, it is a pity that he is still far from it. What's more... the throne is still mine now, and I cannot allow him to be presumptuous."

As long as he sits on the throne for one day, no matter whether he is a minister or a son, he must obey him!

……

In the next two days, news that His Highness the Prince's success in suppressing the bandits gradually spread in the imperial city.

Those courtiers who were originally optimistic about Xiao Jinzhi became cautious and excited, eagerly looking forward to Xiao Jinzhi's return.

Although Xiao Rongxuan was dissatisfied, at this moment, his attention was focused on Chu Huanyan. He had discussed it carefully with Mu Feng and other staff in the mansion, but the methods he came up with were mostly frame-ups, which were really not good enough.

As for Ning'an Hou's residence, Chu Huanyan has not left the house since she returned.

She got the news about the successful capture of the bandits almost at the same time as Emperor Xiao. Xiao Jinzhi sent someone to deliver it, and there was also a letter delivered at the same time. Xiao Jinzhi told Chu Huanyan in the letter that there was nothing more to do for the time being and everything would wait until he came back.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and finally, Xiao Jinzhi led the team back to the imperial city.

Chu Huanyan stood on the teahouse, looking at the people below who had been waiting on both sides of the street, the corners of her lips raised.

"Miss, it's time for me to leave." Yun Chen looked at the gradually approaching team below, stood beside Chu Huanyan, and spoke softly.

Chu Huanyan was stunned and turned to look at Yun Chen, "Can't you stay a little longer?"

"No." Yun Chen shook his head with a smile, "I feel relieved to see that the lady is doing well now. What's more, Xiao Jinzhi is back. I believe he can protect the lady, and I still want to continue walking around. Walk."

When their eyes met, Yun Chen's eyes were clear and calm. Chu Huanyan understood that he was telling the truth.

He nodded lightly and said, "Okay, as I said before, as long as you want to come back, you can come back anytime."

Yun Chen looked at Chu Huanyan quietly, and after a while, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Miss."

After speaking, Yun Chen took another deep look at Chu Huanyan, turned around and left.

But the moment he turned around, he suddenly noticed something strange...
