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

Xu Yixing has been locked up in the palace for five days.

The first two days were spent in Yixiao Pavilion, and during these three days, she was taken to a secret room that she had never been to before. The secret room was very large, large enough to fit a bed, a table, and a large tub for bathing.

Of course, the secret room is filled with more rare treasures and books, which fits her definition of a secret room.

For example, the sword hanging on the wall in front of her with a fierce glow, she has been staring at it for three days.

——The Emperor’s Sword has never left the capital, this is the truth.

Now that I know the truth, the price I have to pay is being locked up in this dark secret room, counting the days by the number of times someone brings me water and meals.

"Lu Anyuan, oh Lu Anyuan, you have killed me." This was the umpteenth time she had cursed her lover: You presented the Emperor's Sword to His Majesty a long time ago, and took a fake one out of the capital, why didn't you tell me!

I was forced to tell the truth in front of the emperor, and was convicted of the crime of knowing the truth but not reporting it. I will die.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xu Yixing knew that the meal was here without even turning around.

"Eunuch Kang, you are the one who serves the emperor, but now you serve me tea and water every day. Won't I shorten my life?"

The visitor smiled softly: "No, I have been serving nobles in the palace since I was a child. You are the princess, and it is my duty to serve you!" Gently putting down the food box, Eunuch Kang took out the two dishes and a rice from it and placed them on the table.

After letting Xu Yixing sit at the table, he said a little embarrassedly, "The food is really simple. The main thing is that we can't be too ostentatious, so this is all from the daily allowance. Please don't mind."

"How dare I?" Although he said this, Xu Yixing was still laughing at the emperor in his heart. You are so cautious even when hiding a person, are you the Son of Heaven?

After chewing two mouthfuls of rice, Xu Yixing continued to ask, "How was your day?"

"Well..." Eunuch Kang rolled his eyes, thinking about what he could say and what he couldn't say, and said after a while: "Everyone outside knows that Prince Xiaoyi is rebelling, and is now leading the border troops to attack the capital. Naturally, they also know that you, Princess, have escaped from the palace, and there is chaos. But General Xu has woken up, just yesterday, congratulations."

When Xu Yixing saw Eunuch Kang smiling, he felt a chill all over his body. This was really a joke.

"In fact, I have figured out what happened in the past few days. Alas, my father is really confused... Eunuch Kang, how do you think the emperor will deal with him?"

Eunuch Kang was a shrewd person, so how could he not know what Xu Yixing meant? He just smiled faintly and did not answer.

"Forget it." Xu Yixing turned his head to look at the sword again, and he wanted to die.

"Oh, by the way, it's okay to tell you. The news that the Queen Mother got before was also strange. You said that the Emperor's Sword has never left the capital. Who deliberately let the news from the North in?"

Xu Yixing smiled bitterly, who else could it be, my dear father, my dear father, you are really good at pretending, you have deceived me for so long, you are really patient!

"Eunuch, I'll just wait patiently for your news." Xu Yixing showed a kind smile. Eunuch Kang was very satisfied and withdrew.

Recalling the scene of that day, Xu Yixing felt a chill on her back. After she finished saying that she had seen the Emperor's Sword, the emperor did not ask any more questions, but asked her to stand up and walk into a palace behind the imperial study, and then a dark room appeared like a flower.

Xu Yixing didn't dare not to follow. As soon as he entered, he noticed the Emperor's Sword hanging on the wall, which was so conspicuous that it couldn't be more conspicuous.

"This... this..." Xu Yixing stuttered for a moment and almost bit his tongue. How could the Emperor's Sword be here? Could it be that it was not lost at all, and the one he gave to Lu Anyuan was a fake?

"This was given to me by Yuan'er the night before we set out. He said that he secretly reported an accidental discovery. In order to give it a legitimate reason, he planned to wait until we reach the northern border and lie that he had found a relic, and then present the treasure as a gift." After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at her, and Xu Yixing immediately realized the mistake he had made.

The emperor was testing her, testing the true origin of the sword. Lu Anyuan did not sell himself or the Xu family, but the emperor did not believe it, and she foolishly thought that the emperor was asking questions with the answer in mind, so she told him the truth.

Oh my god, this is a trap. Isn't this admitting that this sword is related to his family? Stupid, stupid!

"Your Majesty, I know exactly where this sword came from. I took it out from my own home three years ago. However, at that time, the Emperor's Sword had not yet been restored to its original state, so I was blind and could not see its true appearance. It was not until the paint peeled off that I discovered that it was in a completely different appearance. That's why I hurriedly asked my husband to give it to me."

Xu Yixing could only try his best to explain to the emperor that he really did not hide the sword on purpose and that he really did not recognize it. As for whether the emperor believed it or not, it was up to fate. . .

The emperor did not listen to Xu Yixing's explanation, but just kept smiling. He was satisfied with his son's actions, but not with Xu Xianshan. He did not know the origin of the sword, and the emperor would never believe it. It was because of his disbelief that he tested it, got angry, and asked today's question.

"Your father is very good. He is indeed a good general and a meritorious official who assists Yuan'er."

Xu Yixing tightly grasped his sleeves. This was not a compliment, this was a death sentence! Dad's plan had just been seen clearly by the emperor, and it was because he was stupid enough to tell the truth.

"Please, Your Majesty..."

Before he could even say "forgiveness", the emperor said bluntly: "Princess, from today on you will not leave the palace. I want to see who else, besides your father, covets this chair."

"Except, except?" Xu Yixing was stunned, and then realized that the emperor was planning to make a real play, so he simply said that Lu Anyuan was plotting a rebellion to see who was behind it. This, this move of following the clues to lure the snake out of its hole is really smart.

"Your son obeys your order. You're not going anywhere." Xu Yixing closed his eyes as if accepting his fate. He watched the emperor leave the secret room and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

That is, one night after seeing the Emperor's Sword, she figured everything out without much effort.

Dad had known the origin of the sword a long time ago. It was lost inexplicably at the beginning. As long as Dad casually thought about his newly married daughter, he knew where the sword had gone.

However, he never said it out loud, but watched the development of the situation as if he knew nothing. Even when Gushan saw his sword many years ago, he would probably not only not be surprised, but would be secretly happy that he was finally able to take out the sword and show it to others.

This patience lasted for three years. I think Dad was also constantly looking for the opportunity to "help" Lu Anyuan. As long as he waited for the right opportunity, even if he didn't discover the secret of the Emperor's Sword, Dad would make it reappear in the world.

Then he told the court officials openly, look, this is the sword of the emperor, which symbolizes the emperor.

The old man's self-righteous efforts finally came in handy when Lu Anyuan went to the northern border to visit the troops. So in order to clear himself and to make it easier for him to act, he very wisely poisoned himself, just in time to avoid the period when Lu Anyuan was "plotting rebellion".
