Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"Thank you, Your Highness, Xueyan. Perhaps we are not destined to be together. Since I have decided to leave this place, Your Highness, please show mercy and let my family go."

The Second Prince stared at Wu Xueyan with disgust in his eyes. She had been his chess piece for so many years, but now she was disobedient. This was really troublesome.

But now she is really useless. Keeping her is of no value except that someone may find evidence of him using her. In fact, if he wants to be on the safe side, it is better to kill her, but he thinks it is a bit ostentatious to do it now.

"Did you give her the token of the City Defense Department?"

"I gave it to you and told you the effect."

The second prince's expression eased and he smiled gently: "Xueyan, go, you are free."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness, life in the capital is not easy, so please take care of yourself. We hope to meet again someday."

Wu Xueyan dismounted, kowtowed to the second prince with difficulty, mounted the horse and rode away.

Freedom? In the world, is there ever any real freedom? We are all born in cages, bound by rules. Only when I die can my family live. As for my grandchildren, I can just regard them as a passing guest of the wrong love in my youth!

The second prince squinted his eyes; the dust made his nose feel uncomfortable.

"Keep an eye on her. Once you are far away from the capital, find a chance to kill her. Do it in a hidden way and don't alert others."

"Yes. But why did Your Highness give Xu Yiyan the city defense commander badge?"

"We have to leave something behind. If she gave the token to General Xu, maybe it could be used as leverage to win over the general. If she gave it to my seventh brother, that would be even more interesting."

The confidant beside him smiled and understood what His Highness meant. A prince, who His Majesty had already known had private soldiers, now held the key that could open the gates of Kyoto. It was hard for the emperor not to be alarmed.

Xu Yixing's car returned to the Xu Mansion. After visiting his parents, he entered his own courtyard. He sent everyone away as usual and sat in a daze in the room.

The token of the City Defense Department is very beautiful, only the size of a palm, and made into a feather shape. In fact, if there is a headdress or brooch like this, it would be very beautiful, right?

Soon Yingjiu appeared in front of her bed, wearing a mask.

"Master, you guessed correctly. After you left, she returned to the forest. There were ambushes led by the Second Prince. They were all swordsmen and axemen. If you go any further inside, I'm afraid you will be in great trouble."

Xu Yixing nodded. He should have continued walking inside. If Wu Xueyan hadn't suddenly turned around and stopped, he would have been beheaded.

"What did they say?"

"I can't hear it. I dare not get close for fear of being discovered. But the Second Prince seems to be very angry and has a lot of words with the people around him."

"He should be angry. He asked Wu Xueyan to find me to get information. If he can get information that Lu Anyuan deliberately set up the trap, then the Sun family might still be saved. Even if he can't get information, he can just kill me in the forest. So many people saw me leaving with Miss Wu, and Dad will definitely kill them."

"The Second Prince doesn't want you to marry the Seventh Prince, and he also wants to control the Sun and Wu families, so he did this."

Xu Yixing smoothed his hair elegantly, with a smile on his face: "How can things in the world go as he wishes? Why?"

"Miss Wu tried to hurt you. Do you need us to follow her and find a chance to kill her?"

"You are to follow her, but not to kill her, but to protect her! If I'm not mistaken, the Second Prince is also waiting for her to leave the capital to kill her."

Ying Jiu frowned. His master was really too kind-hearted. "Isn't it just right to kill him?"

"You guys are skilled in martial arts, but your hearts are not right. Anyone can see that she was forced to come here by the Second Prince. You don't care about the culprit, but point your blade at a little girl. What kind of ability is that?"

Xu Yixing rolled his eyes. After all, Wu Xueyan had just saved him. It was a tit-for-tat, so they were even.

"Kill the Second Prince? Killing the Second Prince is more difficult, we need to plan carefully..."

"Are you really mentally ill? Where did I say I was going to kill him? I told you this morning not to lose him easily, but you ignored my words, didn't you?"

Xu Yixing now discovered that Ying Jiu was a bit stubborn, so it would be better to give orders directly when talking to him in the future.

"Okay, hurry up and tell someone to follow Wu Xueyan. If you're late, you won't be able to catch up."

"Ok."

Ying Jiu retreated, and Xu Yixing held the token in his hand, rubbing it carefully.

What does this mean? Giving this thing to me was definitely not her original intention, nor was it what she said his parents meant, so it could only be the Second Prince's intention.

The Second Prince is always up to no good. He obviously has no direct conflict with the Xu family, but his shadow can be seen in many things recently. He is such an annoying fly.

The token is definitely useless if it is given to him, but if the gates of the capital are lost one day, then all those who may have mobilized the eight gates will be held accountable. As for whether the second prince wants to put the blame on his father or Lu Anyuan, it is hard to say.

I have to think of a way to throw away this hot yam. Thinking of this, Xu Yixing got angry. He had clearly seen that there was something wrong with Wu Xueyan, but he still took it. He was really stupid.

However, since the Second Prince is determined to make things difficult for his family, even if he doesn't accept it this time, there will be other messy traps thrown at him next time. He should just take it one step at a time.

On June 14, Lu Anyuan, who had stayed in the palace obediently for a month, was finally released. Xu Yixing also met him at the largest restaurant in Beijing, Zhenxiufang.

"A meal here must cost a lot. You just got fined half a year's salary, and you still have the money to treat me to this?" Xu Yixing entered the private room, still being as unforgiving as usual.

Lu Anyuan stood up and came over. After a month of rest, he looked refreshed, with a rosy complexion and full of energy. He didn't look like he was poisoned at all.

Xu Yixing, on the other hand, was suffering from the torment from Ying Si's medicine. Even though he could go out now, he still felt either hot or cold every day and felt uncomfortable all over.

"No matter how poor I am, I can still afford to treat you to a meal." Lu Anyuan supported Xu Yixing's arm, but was dodged again.

Lu Anyuan was asking for trouble, but he was not angry. He sat down at the big round table and said, "Serve the food."

As the name of Zhenxiuguan suggests, most of the ingredients used are rare and exotic. It’s okay to taste them, but no one would eat this every day.

Lu Anyuan was originally quite satisfied with this store, but he no longer thinks so now.

The table is too big!

This big round table is for ten people. I was sitting next to the wall, and Yixing chose the window side, which separated me from the big table. It was really annoying.
