Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

"Your Highness, do you really want to know?" She did not retreat, but moved closer to his face, and could even feel each other's breath.

He took a deep breath, "Jiang Qingyu! Stop beating around the bush for me!"

She was slightly startled, and explained to him with a smile, "Your Highness, my surname is Jiang, and I am your enemy, the daughter of the Jiang family. Now, does your Highness hate me?"

"No hate." He almost blurted out.

"Then I won't be angry with Your Highness. For me, things haven't developed to the point where they cannot be undone."

After hearing her answer, the tense mood in his heart seemed to relax a lot. For some reason, he felt that she should hate him, but he was afraid that she hated him.

He stared into her eyes, and he seemed to no longer be able to control his heart. He wanted to get closer to her and understand her.

Suddenly, he pulled her over and held her tightly in his arms, "Tell me, what do you want?!"

Perhaps she had not expected his action, she only felt her arms being held tightly by him, and she would not let go, nor did she want him to let go.

"Your Highness will know sooner or later, but not now."

"Is this also a secret like your past?"

"Yes."

After hearing her answer, he knew that she would not say it. Despite this, he was still reluctant to let go of his arms around her, as if if he let go, she would be far away from him.

She stayed in his arms obediently, immersed in his heartbeat and feeling his warmth.

After a moment, she suddenly said, "Your Highness, I won't harm you."

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you want me to believe you?"

She raised her eyes and looked at him. Those eyes seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, telling him the most real answer.

"It's not important now, I just want to..."

She still couldn't say the rest of the words.

But that night, he saw the side of her that she had been hiding, the side that cared about him.

……

Jiang Zhuo hasn't come to see her these past few days. It seems that Xiao Yanqing handled things very smoothly.

Because these days, she had heard more or less about some life-and-death cases that had occurred in Yongqing City. The original cases were small, but gradually the people involved became more and more complicated.

Until a certain minister abused his power, bent the law for personal gain, and almost made the final decision. If the Emperor did not take into account the old relationship, he should hand the case over directly to the Ministry of Justice for handling according to the law.

At this time, Xiao Yanzhou, who was sitting on the throne, threw the memorial aside, with a worried look on his face.

The Minister of Justice who reported the case was also waiting on the sidelines for his decision.

"Since the evidence is conclusive, we will deal with it according to the law."

"As for the Imperial Censor..." Xiao Yanzhou said after a pause, "He will be fined and demoted, and he will be asked to stay indoors this month. He doesn't need to come."

"I obey your order." The Minister of Justice took the order and withdrew.

Xiao Yanzhou rubbed his head. Although he knew that this case involved many people, he didn't expect that he would reach the position of deputy prime minister.

The Chief Censor, a person he had never thought about. If this person was not involved in something else, who would touch him?

"He Yi."

He Yi hurried forward, "I'm here."

"Go, check for me what happened behind this." Xiao Yanzhou's tone was not harsh, but the chill penetrated his bones.

"I obey your command." He Yi leaned forward and stepped back.

After careful consideration, Eunuch Li spoke up, "Your Majesty, do you need me to ask the imperial physician to come over and diagnose Your Majesty?"

"No need."

"Then your majesty, since things have come to this, why not take a rest first."

After he finished speaking, he, who was having a headache at the moment, suddenly remembered the cute Xiaoyu's reminder: "Find yourself a reason to rest."

Thinking of this, he raised a faint smile, "Okay, tell them not to come to see me, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Eunuch Li was slightly stunned, and quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what happened to His Majesty, he had been in a good mood these days and didn't ask about the matter of asking him to find that young lady.

However, he asked everyone in the palace, but no one had seen the young lady.

Alas! I can only pray that Your Majesty will not think of this matter again.

Xiao Yanzhou leaned back in his seat, counting the time, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Xiaoyu, can I see you tomorrow night?

……

Qing Yu quietly returned to Prince Xiao's Mansion yesterday. She didn't know if it was his deliberate arrangement or something else, but she saw fewer and fewer guests. She clearly saw many people coming to see Hua Niang every day.

There is nothing to do now, so I came back to practice sword and martial arts with him.

"Qing Yu!" Xiao Wenshu ran into the study room from outside.

"Wen Shu is back!" she was delighted.

Seeing that he was out of breath, I quickly poured him a cup of tea.

"Why are you so anxious?"

Xiao Wenshu took the tea she handed over, took a sip, and sat down beside her. "Hey! Sorry Qingyu, I wanted to come back yesterday, but something in the army delayed me."

"it does not matter."

"What happened before?" Xiao Wenshu only knew that nothing unexpected happened, but he was still very worried.

"Haha, everything went smoothly. With Your Highness here, everything is safe." Her relaxed smile eased Xiao Wenshu's anxious heart.

"What exactly happened?" Xiao Wenshu was curious about how Jiang Zhuo got into their trap.

With a sharp gleam in her eyes, she described their overall plan.

At first, she acted with Hua Niang and deliberately chose a house that Jiang Zhuo's people who were monitoring her could get close to, eavesdropping on their conversation and making sure to convey it truthfully.

According to the schedule, Jiang Zhuo would meet her before she met Xiao Yanqing. This was just the opportunity for Jiang Zhuo to mistakenly think that it was a mistake in the arrangement and eavesdrop on her conversation, thus knowing her ability to trick people into giving advice.

For this reason, Jiang Zhuo fell into the trap he had set, and also used her conversation with Xiao Yanqing to dispel his suspicion of her, and used clever words to guide Xiao Yanqing to find the person behind Jiang Zhuo.

Xiao Wenshu didn't quite understand, "Qingyu, why are you so sure that Jiang Zhuo will show up?"

"Because he is afraid of your ability. He is afraid that your ability will lead me, win me over, and bewitch me." She shrugged and explained to Wen Shu.

Xiao Wenshu suddenly realized, "I understand, just like now."

That’s true. My brother and Qing Yu are in collusion. How can we resist such a crisis?

"Yes." She responded with a smile.

The two of them were chatting happily and didn't notice him standing outside the house at all.

Xiao Yanqing's heart skipped a beat. Was he trying to induce? To win her over? To seduce her?

Is that so?! She was clearly the one behind all this!

"Hey! Where's my brother?"

As soon as Xiao Wenshu finished speaking, he walked in from outside the door.

"After talking for so long, have you finally remembered me?"

Xiao Wenshu was startled and stood up quickly, "Brother! You're back."

"Your Highness." Qing Yu smiled nonchalantly.

"Brother, did everything go smoothly afterwards?" Qing Yu was not quite sure about what happened afterwards.

"Yeah, it went well."

"Brother, tell me about it." Xiao Wenshu urged impatiently.

He sat down at his seat and continued according to her unspoken plan: "Jiang Zhuo will definitely be flustered when he hears the conversation between me and her."

"I am making random arrangements. Jiang Zhuo will immediately gather his accomplices to implement the plan. As long as he makes a move, I will definitely find the people who are secretly working with him."

"So that's how it is. That person is... the Imperial Censor?" Xiao Wenshu naturally also heard about what happened in the palace recently.

"Yes, we used some means to bring him down based on the evidence we obtained from our previous investigations on some officials."

She was slightly startled and slightly surprised, "Your Highness has investigated the officials in advance?"

If not, how could a seemingly invulnerable important official be eliminated in just a few days?

"Well, it's convenient for use in emergencies," he explained casually.

She lowered her eyes and thought, perhaps Xiao Yanqing investigated all the ministers at that time not just to get rid of them, but to find the people who were related to the truth.

How much time and effort did he spend on the civil and military officials? This really underestimated his determination for revenge.
