Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era

The backyard of Xibohou Mansion.

"Cousin, what did you say? The maidservant beside Yun Qianyou killed all ten people you sent? Is her martial arts so strong?"

Xia Linshuang had been crying so hard these past few days that her face became haggard. Her father was her and her mother's greatest support in the Marquis' Mansion. His sudden death made her feel as if the sky was about to fall.

"I just couldn't get over it, so I encouraged the guards around me to arrange this assassination. But after so long, no one has come back. If not dead, what else could they be? Because of this incident, my father also deprived my mother of her right to run the family. Now my father has suddenly passed away. What are we going to do in the future, mother and daughter?"

Xia Linshuang truly experienced sadness.

Guard Cui Liang was loyal to her and it was impossible for him to leave her without saying goodbye. The only explanation was that the assassination attempt failed and he died.

However, after so many days, she still couldn't figure it out. Even if Yun Qianyou had a maid who knew martial arts, there were ten people. How could they all be killed by her maid?

"Someone must be helping that bitch, could it be King Sheng?"

This was the knot that lingered in her heart day and night. The more she thought about it, the more entangled she became.

"Don't worry, I will let my mother make the decision for you, and I will not let Yun Qianyou, that little concubine, go."

The fifth princess Cang Luo also couldn't swallow this humiliation these days.

The Crown Prince was afraid of offending Qianmai Palace and couldn't spare the time to help her punish that little bitch Yun Qianyou.

The Queen Mother was upset because of the resistance to the marriage she arranged for Brother Cangyu. She had been feeling itchy these days and had no time to teach that little concubine a lesson for her. Unexpectedly, her cousin had already taken action but failed.

"My people saw that little bitch met with Prince Sheng in private again, and they took action after they separated because they felt sorry for you. But they didn't expect that they failed to kill her and lost ten soldiers. Father said that this incident had a great impact on my cousin, the Crown Prince."

There was a gloomy look on Xia Linshuang's haggard little face.

The blows she had suffered these days had made her walk on the edge of madness and insanity, unable to control the murderous intent in her heart.

It was all because of Yun Qianyou, this little concubine's daughter. Her appearance caused all these changes and made her go from being the most honorable person in Kyoto to having a hard life now.

"What? She met Sheng Xiaoge again? This little bitch, I must make her die. Prince Sheng can only be mine."

The fifth princess was still young, how could she withstand such provocation? She immediately became like a kitten with its fur standing on end, baring her teeth and claws.

"I heard that the assassins of Qianmai Palace are very powerful. They have assassins of different prices and levels, and they never fail. Even if the little maidservant beside Yun Qianyou is powerful, what's the use?"

"Then we will go to Qianmai Palace, spend a lot of money, hire the best killer, and buy her life. I don't believe that a princess can't decide the life and death of a little concubine's daughter."

......

In the imperial study of the palace.

Prime Minister Yun Xuanzhi tried hard to hold his breath and concentrate, enduring the high pressure from Emperor Dongcang.

"Prime Minister Yun, tell me, who revealed the secret base in Xiaoxi Mountain? How did the prince's people find it?"

"I have considered it carefully. It should be an accident. The Xiaoxishan base has been planned for more than a year. The training personnel are all sent by the Imperial Guards from the Dark Guard Camp. They are all trustworthy people."

"But the Xiaoxishan base is deep in the forest, and the prince shouldn't have gone so far for hunting. I think someone deliberately led Xibohou to find it."

Emperor Dong Cang's suspicious nature became more and more serious as he got older. He was always worried that the dragon throne under his butt would be renamed.

"Fortunately, this incident has dealt a heavy blow to the power of Xibohou Mansion. Now I can rest assured about Xibohou Mansion."

He leaned back on the wide chair, narrowed his triangular eyes, and looked at Yun Xuanzhi.

This is one of the few people he can still trust.

He is also the person who has been in the same boat with him from beginning to end.

Through his hands, he cleared out many disobedient court officials for him.

"Although this incident disrupted your majesty's long-term plan, it did have some effect."

Yun Xuanzhi echoed.

"I don't want to scheme against my sons, but the Xibo Marquisate is too powerful and the Crown Prince is too weak. I'm really worried that a hundred years from now, the kingdom I worked so hard to build will be ruled by the Xia family. I won't accept that!"

"I understand. I have been working hard to assist Prince Ning and gain control of the court as soon as possible."

Yun Xuanzhi glanced at the emperor in a high position. He knew how to take advantage of his suspicion and spoke tentatively.

"Prince Sheng has seemed humble and modest in the past few months, but he has shown considerable strength. Now there are more voices in the court that favor him, so Your Majesty has to consider this in advance."

"Prince Sheng? I have never devoted my heart and soul to this son. Unlike Prince Ning, I have taught him with great care."

Emperor Dong Cang's mind wandered, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Prince Sheng has outstanding military prowess, but his influence in the court is almost non-existent. He will not be able to fight against Prince Ning for the time being. Your Majesty can rest assured for now."

Yun Xuanzhi looked at His Majesty's frowning brows and didn't want to give him too strong a dose of medicine, thus disrupting the balance he had managed to maintain with great difficulty.

"I don't know why he refused the marriage proposal, but fortunately he is not tied to the Xibo Marquisate, otherwise I would not allow him to grow stronger."

The old emperor has been feeling physically tired these days, and is increasingly feeling overwhelmed, and is becoming a little impatient.

"Go and find out what exactly caused him to refuse the marriage. If possible, let him be willing to help Prince Ning, and then my plan will be safe."

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Yun Xuanzhi performed the ceremony in a proper manner.

He was also very curious about King Sheng's refusal of marriage.

Logically speaking, when the Empress Dowager arranges a marriage for the Prince, no one would have the courage to directly refuse. If one really doesn't like the woman, one can just marry her and live peacefully in peace. There is no need to make such a big fuss with the Xibohou Mansion.

What is the real reason?

"Where is the Xiling marriage delegation?"

The old emperor raised his eyes, glanced at Prime Minister Yun who was distracted, and threw another question at him.

"Your Majesty, we should be able to reach Kyoto in two days. The Ministry of Rites has already arranged for people to welcome us, and all matters in the palace have also been arranged."

"I heard that the marriage team encountered several minor disturbances along the way?"

"Your Majesty, according to reports, there have been three times when men in black tried to kidnap the princess, but they were discovered by the Xiling Kingdom's guards. Although there were some casualties, fortunately no major problems occurred. The trip was only delayed for a few days."

"Who did it?"

"I have interrogated them carefully, and my initial judgment is that it was not done by us Dongcang people. Perhaps it was the assassins sent by the other two countries who did not want to see our two countries marry."

"Okay, please take care of this matter. Once it is in our hands, you must ensure the safety of the marriage team and avoid adding more obstacles to the peace talks between the two countries that have been hard-won."
