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

She didn't go crazy suddenly. Uncle's implication was that Ying Fei must have become like this little by little. In this case, something must be fishy.

"Thank you for telling me, uncle. Do you have anything else to tell my father? I have to go back home later."

Bai Yu stood up, thought for a while, and shook his head: "You go now. If your father's wedding date changes, remember to tell me."

"Yes."

When Xu Yixing returned home, he naturally learned the news that the wedding banquet was postponed. As for the new date, it would depend on when this matter could be settled.

Xu Yixing didn't know whether her father was happy or not, but she was very happy anyway. If possible, she would postpone the date indefinitely, until the Zuo family changed their minds, until her father became impatient, or until her father died.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and the details of the Second Prince's rebellion on Mount Gushan have spread like wildfire among the ministers, but Your Majesty has not issued a clear order, so the details of the cause of everything are still unclear.

However, as an eyewitness, planner and participant, Lu Anyuan has collected more than a thousand pieces of information in the past two days. With a rough guess, he can guess the whole process of the whole incident.

At this moment, he was holding a fruit plate and telling Xu Yixing everything one by one, and he thought Xu Yixing's expression when he listened to him seriously was very beautiful.

"So, after Lu Chiyan confirmed that Qibei did have rich gold reserves, he immediately bribed He Bin, the general of Longwuwei who was still in southern Xinjiang at the time. Of course, he promised He Bin some benefits, but there is no detailed statement. Anyway, He Bin agreed, and according to the order of the emperor, he left 20,000 troops and returned to the capital with the rest of the people."

Xu Yixing leaned on the table with her head propped up. She liked listening to these "gossips", even if they were the kind that could lead to fatal disasters if one was not careful.

"After that, Second Brother was in Qibei preparing for the troops, money, food, and weapons. Although he never let Fifth Brother get involved with these things, Fifth Brother has been in business for a long time, so he can easily find clues, so he informed me in advance."

"Wait a minute, this is not right." Xu Yixing raised his hand to interrupt Lu Anyuan's speech: "Since you have already discovered that the Second Prince was preparing to start a rebellion, why didn't you have any defense during the Mid-Autumn Festival? If the Second Prince was not sick and hesitant, he would have controlled everyone at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day, and you wouldn't even be able to send out the news."

This is also the point that Xu Yixing is most puzzled about. Since Lu Anyuan was the instigator, how could he not leave any room for self-protection?

"Oh..." Lu Anyuan put down the plate: "This is my misjudgment. I didn't expect that he would directly instigate the Dragon Guards, and I didn't expect He Bin to rebel. I always thought that he was going to start with those soldiers from Southern Xinjiang. And even if the Southern Xinjiang soldiers were to enter the capital, you can imagine how big the commotion would be."

"It doesn't make sense. There are only 50,000 soldiers in Southern Xinjiang. Even if he bribed them all, 50,000 soldiers would be blocked at the first pass, let alone entering Beijing."

"Yes! That's why I never thought that my second brother would rebel!" Lu Anyuan sighed to the sky. He swears to God that the gold was used to bribe the big families in southern Xinjiang for his second brother to establish himself in the future. He really didn't expect that his second brother would be so crazy and so smart.

If he was not smart, how could he think of looking for Longwuwei? If he was not crazy, who would dare to bet on the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet when all the ministers are present?

"Since you think the Second Prince won't rebel, why did you create this golden game for him?"

"Because I thought that with the financial support, he would establish himself as the king of Qibei or do something extraordinary. Who knew that he would be so ambitious? He really deserves to be my second brother!"

Xu Yixing was shocked when he heard this. You two brothers are scheming against each other, but you don't seem to know each other well. In the final analysis, it was Lu Anyuan's fault that he failed to completely subdue the Fourth Prince, otherwise the Fourth Prince would have been able to see the Second Prince's true destination and intentions.

"Okay, that makes sense now. So, what happened that night?"

"Not long after you left the team, the rebels started to attack. Father gave the tiger talisman to General Xie Ming and asked him to go back and get more troops. Unfortunately, he tried his best to break out of the encirclement, but when he got to the Longwuwei camp, the place was already dominated by the rebels."

"General Xie is dead?"

Lu Anyuan nodded, with a hint of regret. Xu Yixing also sighed. Fortunately, it was General Xie who followed the army. If he didn't go, then Uncle Bai would have to follow the emperor, and he would not be able to escape.

"What about the tiger talisman?"

"Of course it was taken by the Dragon Guards. After they killed Xie Ming, they sent the tiger talisman to He Bin at the foot of the mountain. However, my second brother probably still had a glimmer of hope at the time and wanted to persuade our father to abdicate and pass the throne to him, so he did not choose to let He Bin directly transfer the Dragon Guards or enter the city."

"He is useless!" Even Xu Yixing knew that if he wanted to rebel, he should not hesitate. It was the second prince's hesitation that completely ruined his action and also ruined his and Ying Fei's lives.

"What a coincidence! My father, my fourth brother and I all thought so. After I met my father, I learned that the rebels were the Dragon Guards. Although I was surprised, I immediately ordered my people to go into action."

"What have you done?"

"I asked the Queen Mother to sign an imperial decree, ordering the Weiwei Army to come to the king's defense, and to prevent the City Defense Department from letting anyone into the capital. I also cut off all ties with Qibei, and asked someone to go to Qibei to take care of my second sister-in-law and nephew, and to withdraw all the fake gold mines, etc."

"The emperor will naturally deal with their families afterwards. Why are you so anxious?"

"I'm afraid he'll move his family away early, so I'm using it as a handle! But after my father's people left, I already got my people back. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing."

"It seems that none of the things you did had anything to do with me!" Xu Yixing folded her arms, very unhappy. She had been thinking about how to inform Lu Anyuan and how to let Yingjiu and Yingwu protect Lu Anyuan. It seemed that she was not even considered in other people's stories.

“How could it be!” Lu Anyuan was also anxious. Isn’t this too unfair? “My second brother asked the fourth brother to keep an eye on me just to ask me if I had any backup plan. Of course I know you are safe, otherwise my second brother wouldn’t have bothered to think about it! Besides, you are so smart, you must have hidden yourself, why would you make me worry?”

Xu Yixing looked at Lu Anyuan who was speaking anxiously and rolled his eyes silently. Even if you said so much, it can't change the fact that you didn't do anything for me!
