When Lu Xiaoxiao followed Xie Xi into the main hall of Feng'an Palace again, she keenly noticed that there seemed to be an atmosphere of extreme sadness floating in the hall.
The Queen's phoenix eyes were slightly red and swollen.
Lu Xiaoxiao took a quick glance and lowered her head, no longer staring at the Queen's face.
The depressed atmosphere at this moment made her feel inexplicably uneasy. It should be that after she followed Aunt Yincong to the side hall, something else happened in the main hall.
I just don’t know why the Queen was crying so hard that even her eyes were swollen.
Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips tightly, wanting her prince to give her a hint, but she saw her prince pulling her to sit down first.
Lu Xiaoxiao: ???
No, she hasn’t even had the time to pay her respects to the Emperor and the Empress!
Xie Xi, who was sitting next to her, seemed to see through her thoughts. He came closer and whispered, "Don't worry, neither Father nor Mother will be angry."
At this moment, the Emperor and the Empress no longer cared whether Xiaoxiao knelt down to salute or not.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao relaxed a little, but she was still tense and didn't dare to act rashly in front of the emperor and the queen.
[I always feel something is wrong. I don't know why His Majesty and the Queen insisted that Your Highness bring me here.]
[I've been staying at home a lot lately, but I haven't gotten into any big trouble, right? ]
Lu Xiaoxiao was pondering it, when suddenly he heard His Highness mention Prince Su.
Lu Xiaoxiao:?
Xie Xi raised his eyes, glanced at his father and mother without leaving a trace, and began to make up a story calmly: "Father, recently I feel that my fourth brother and Uncle Su are very close. I don't know why. I have tried to talk to my fourth brother several times, but I can never find him..."
"Uncle Su is not really a lazy prince. I suspect that Uncle Su's sudden approach to my fourth brother may be a motive."
[Ah, how come Your Highness suddenly found out about Prince Su? ]
[Have the Fourth Prince and Prince Su been getting close recently? ]
Lu Xiaoxiao was surprised and quickly looked through the system.
Recently she has been busy accompanying His Highness in the mansion, and nothing major has happened. The system has not been bubbling up, and she has not paid attention to the story of the Fourth Prince for a long time.
If His Highness hadn't suddenly mentioned it at this moment, she would have almost forgotten the existence of the Fourth Prince...
[You really don’t know until you see it. It turns out that the Fourth Prince is going to cause trouble again! ]
[Prince Su is really cruel. He let His Majesty and the Queen take advantage of him and help him raise his son, but he even wanted to join forces with the Fourth Prince to plot a rebellion? He wanted to take this opportunity to pull His Majesty off the throne! ? ]
[Prince Su wanted the midwife to kill the little princess born to the Queen! Fortunately, the midwife felt guilty and secretly took the little princess home to raise her well, which prevented Prince Su from getting what he wanted and put an end to it, eliminating future troubles...]
[The Fourth Prince is indeed the offspring of Prince Su, he is just as cruel and ruthless as the Prince Su, and he is rotten to the core! ]
[However, the Fourth Prince is really arrogant. He is not the biological son of His Majesty and the Queen. How can he be qualified to compete with Your Highness for the throne? ]
Lu Xiaoxiao felt like she was about to be pissed off, and she didn't notice that the emperor and the queen, who were sitting at the top, both had slightly changed expressions. Even Xie Xi could hardly maintain the gentleness on his face.
The three of them thought of the same thing -
Xie Jin actually wanted to join forces with Prince Su to rebel! ? ?
Emperor Li's expression suddenly became solemn, and he swallowed back his anger.
It seems that not only is Xie Jin not his biological son, he also attempted to rebel and seize the throne!
The Queen was determined to find her own biological child. Although the people sent by the Emperor had not found any clues, the Queen had already determined in her heart that everything Lu Xiaoxiao said was true.
No wonder, no wonder she always felt that Xie Jin was not like her son. When facing him, she would feel a little resistant in her heart, thinking that things shouldn't be like this.
But every time she held back, and stopped herself from having wild thoughts and doubting Xie Jin...
It turns out that her intuition was not wrong!
Xie Jin is really not her biological son, she gave birth to a little princess!
The little princess is still alive!
Her biological daughter is still alive!
The queen's eyes were red, and she tried hard to resist the urge to cry. She pursed her lips tightly and listened to Lu Xiaoxiao's inner voice in silence.
[No wonder the Fourth Prince chose to cooperate with Prince Su. It turns out that the Fourth Prince already knew that Prince Su was his biological father. Is he planning to murder his adoptive father after recognizing him as his biological father?]
[It is true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance. The Fourth Prince is really capable. Who would have thought that he has already reached an agreement with the Princess of Yan to cooperate with her. He wants to borrow troops from Yan, disguise himself, and then enter Li and march straight to Shengjing? ]
[The day of rebellion and forcing the emperor to abdicate is tomorrow! ? ? ]
Lu Xiaoxiao was so shocked that she was stunned.
Although she had long known that there was a conspiracy between the Fourth Prince and the Princess of Yan, and also knew that the Fourth Prince would definitely rebel, Lu Xiaoxiao had never expected that the Fourth Prince, Prince Su, and the Princess of Yan would set their plans tomorrow!
It's all her fault for being so careless that she couldn't even take care of serious matters!
So, could it be that the Yan soldiers have already disguised themselves and entered Shengjing?
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly became a little anxious.
Emperor Li, the Empress, and Xie Xi all found it unbelievable. They originally just wanted to learn more from Lu Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts about how Prince Su bribed the midwife to exchange his child. However, they never expected that they would also hear that Xie Jin was going to rebel tomorrow in conjunction with Prince Su and the Princess of Yan!
Compared to finding the whereabouts of the little princess, Emperor Li believes that solving the current problem is more important.
At the beginning, he sent a shadow guard to keep an eye on the Princess of Yan State. He learned that the Princess of Yan State had been in contact with Xie Jin, and also knew about the conspiracy between the two of them.
After all, Emperor Li had read the secret letter that Princess Yan was going to send to Yanzi Cloth Shop, and knew that Yan was willing to lend 180,000 soldiers to Xie Jin. In exchange, Xie Jin would cede the city to Yan...
When he saw it, Emperor Li was so angry that he wanted to send people to take Xie Jin into the palace. However, taking into account that Xie Jin was his and the Queen's son, Emperor Li temporarily put the matter aside and did not pursue it immediately. He just continued to send people to keep an eye on Princess Yan and Xie Jin.
After that, Emperor Li didn't receive any unusual news from Xie Jin, and he thought that Xie Jin had given up the idea of rebellion, but he turned out to have overlooked Prince Su's evil ambitions!
He even overlooked the fact that Xie Jin was actually Prince Su's biological child!
If the soldiers of Yan State have really entered Shengjing in disguise, then Prince Su must have contributed to it!
It was he who did not do enough and he who indulged their ambitions to grow!
Emperor Li could no longer sit still. He patted the Queen's hand and soothed her with his eyes: "I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with. I will return to the Imperial Study first."
The Queen understood what His Majesty meant, so she nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about me. It's enough for me to be here with Xiao Xiao."
Emperor Li stood up, paused, and then said to Xie Xi: "Xi'er will stay in the palace tonight."
"My son, I obey."
From the moment he heard that Xie Jin and Prince Su were planning a rebellion, Xie Xi had already decided to stay in the palace tonight and make all the arrangements.
Even if his father didn't say anything, he would not leave the palace.
When Lu Xiaoxiao pulled her consciousness out of the system, she only had time to see the emperor's back as he left.
Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”
Lu Xiaoxiao: “???”
She was a little confused.
Lu Xiaoxiao was so obsessed with the system that she was filled with anger and didn't pay attention to what the emperor, the queen and his highness said.
Now that His Majesty has left again, why did He ask her to come over?
It's impossible to just let her sit here and join in the fun, right?
Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked up at His Highness, then at the Empress who was sitting at the top, and muttered to herself: [The Empress seems very sad. If the Empress knew that the Fourth Prince she raised was not her own flesh and blood, but the careful planning of Prince Su, the Empress would surely be furious, right? ]
[Should I expose Prince Su's conspiracy? ]
[But there is no evidence - no, I was distracted for a moment. I can find the little princess first, and then try to let Your Highness meet the little princess. Blood relationship has always been the most mysterious. Once Your Highness sees the little princess's appearance, Your Highness will definitely be suspicious! ]
[Right! That's it! At worst, I can just spend more points later and find the whereabouts of the midwife and the little princess as soon as possible...]
Having made up her mind, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt relieved, but soon, she became depressed again. She didn't know how to tell His Highness that the Fourth Prince and Prince Su were planning a rebellion tomorrow...
Lu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and stared at Xie Xi, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Completely unaware, the Queen was looking at him with eyes full of gratitude.
……
After sitting with his mother for a while, Xie Xi took Lu Xiaoxiao back to the East Palace to rest.
After returning to the East Palace, Xie Xi arranged for Lu Xiaoxiao to return to the bedroom, then went to the study and arranged all the plans he had thought of, making sure they were quick. Even the secret guards who followed him all received orders and went to work without stopping.
Xie Xi also specially wrote a secret letter and sent it to the imperial study to report tomorrow's arrangements to his father.
An hour later, Xie Xi received a message from the secret guard, saying that everything had been arranged.
Looking at the report in the secret letter, Xie Xi, who had been tense, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He pursed his lips and his expression returned to calm.
Lu Xiaoxiao had no idea that His Highness had already made preparations in advance. After taking a bath and washing herself in the bedroom, she waited for His Highness to come back.
Even though she was so sleepy that tears came out, she still forced herself not to fall asleep.
Lu Xiaoxiao sat at the door of the bedroom, yawning and looking outside.
After seeing the familiar figure with her own eyes, Lu Xiaoxiao stood up suddenly and regained consciousness instantly. She stood up and took a few quick steps forward: "Your Highness is back!"
Xie Xi simply ignored the greetings of the palace maids and eunuchs and strode up to Lu Xiaoxiao. He held her hand, which was a little cold.
"Why are your hands so cold?"
Xie Xi frowned, unable to help but feel distressed: "Why don't you wait in the hall?"
Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head and looked at him eagerly: "I am worried if I can't see His Highness."
Xie Xi: “…”
Xie Xi helplessly tapped her forehead and said gently, "I'm in the palace, why are you still worried?"
As he spoke, he took her hand and walked into the bedroom together.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to agree that there was no danger in the palace. She pursed her lips and said unhappily, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that at the palace banquet not long ago, those dancers came for you. They wanted to hurt you!"
[Those dancers were carefully selected by the Fourth Prince to enter the palace. Originally, the Fourth Prince only wanted those dancers to try to entangle His Highness in the palace, but he didn't expect that those dancers misheard the order and actually attacked His Highness directly at the palace banquet...]
[I'm afraid the Fourth Prince will be so angry that he will die at the palace banquet tonight! ]
Xie Xi: “…”
No matter what tricks Xie Jin comes up with, he will never succeed.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao was a little angry, Xie Xi quickly spoke to comfort her: "I haven't forgotten, I just don't want you to catch a cold outside. Okay, Xiaoxiao, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao's heart softened instantly. She pulled Xie Xi to the couch and asked all the maids serving in the bedroom to leave. Then she said, "Your Highness, I have something very important to say."
"What's the matter?"
Xie Xi knew what she wanted to say.
At this critical moment, Lu Xiaoxiao did not intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Your Highness, I received news that the Fourth Prince is conspiring with Prince Su and Princess Yan to rebel."
"Emperor Yan borrowed 180,000 soldiers to help Xie Jin seize the throne."
"The 180,000 soldiers sent by Emperor Yan were divided into three groups. The first group of 80,000 soldiers had already been guarding the border of Li State and had launched an offensive on the border three days ago, but the military report had not yet been transmitted to Shengjing."
When Xie Xi was not in the bedroom, Lu Xiaoxiao spent some points to see the Fourth Prince and his men's rebellion plan clearly, and also knew how the Fourth Prince and Prince Su would arrange the 180,000 Yan soldiers.
Xie Xi was stunned, his eyes gradually darkened and filled with coldness.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked up at him and continued, "The second batch of Yan soldiers numbered 60,000. They have been arranged by Prince Su to enter the private residence."
"These 60,000 Yan soldiers did not enter Shengjing all at once, but were sent in batches, which took half a month. The five private residences of Prince Su were all occupied by Yan soldiers."
"The third group consists of 40,000 soldiers from the State of Yan. They are lying in ambush outside Shengjing City, waiting for a signal from inside the city. Once the signal is given, they will take the opportunity to break through the city gate and threaten the lives of the people in the capital..."
After telling the Fourth Prince and his men all their plans, Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and looked at Xie Xi intently: "Your Highness, you will believe me, right?"
"Correct."
Xie Xi responded in a low voice. He raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, saying seriously, "Xiaoxiao, I believe everything you say."
"I never thought that Xiao Xiao was so well-informed that he even knew their plans clearly."
"But this matter is of great importance. I will go to the Imperial Study to discuss it with my father..."
"Don't worry, I won't let their plan succeed!"
Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard this, but soon came back to her senses. She held her pounding heart and said, "Okay, I believe you too, Your Highness. Please be careful."
