After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Tutor He's method of provoking by retreating in order to advance aroused the emperor's protective instinct.

After all, he was the prince whom he had carefully trained. Although the result of his training was not satisfactory, he had always put in the effort.

Most importantly, he could see through Xiao Changshi's character, which made him feel at ease because Xiao Changan was too similar to him.

No matter what, he would not keep his former self around and bring disaster upon himself.

Xiao Changan's plan failed after all.

Xiao Changshi was taken back to the Prince's Mansion and imprisoned, and the number of imperial guards guarding the Prince's Mansion doubled.

After a few days, several groups of assassins came to assassinate Li Mao. The assassinations always happened when there were the most people around and the incidents were very big. Each time, one or two people were left alive.

After Zhang Zhong's interrogation, all the assassins admitted that they had killed the envoy.

Chu Yin was nowhere to be seen.

Sima Changfeng took the antidote that Xiao Yu handed to him and swallowed it in one gulp without hesitation.

"I thought you would hand me over as a witness!" Sima Changfeng glanced at Xiao Yu beside him and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to send me out?"

Xiao Yu asked indifferently: "Do you really want me to send you out?"

Sima Changfeng looked at Xiao Yu's pale face and answered in a cryptic manner: "This is the only golden opportunity you have. If you miss it, you may never have another chance to overthrow Su Heng."

His face was too pale, not like that of a normal person, but more like that of a dead person.

Xiao Yu won't live long.

Xiao Yu looked at the lights all over the capital, which lit up one by one as night fell.

He curled his lips slightly, looking at the lights in the distance with a calm look in his eyes.

Even if he can't see it, he has planned everything and everything will go according to plan.

Chu Yin tried her best to make a big fuss this time just to clear Su Heng's name. The matter has become a hot topic in the capital, and the emperor couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

The King of Xiliang's attendants have arrived in the capital to hold the emperor accountable.

Moreover, for some reason, he suggested to the emperor that he was only willing to talk to Su Heng.

Whether in terms of public opinion or diplomatic relations, the best outcome is that the Huns are willing to take the responsibility.

For this reason, the emperor will release him as expected.

Xiao Yu did feel it was a pity that Su Heng would have died in just one step. However, it was not a complete loss if Chu Yin and the other Huns were forced out.

As for Su Heng, if the emperor could want to kill him once, he could also want to kill him a second time.

Xiao Yu looked into the distance and said in a low voice: "Su Heng will not die of old age, and you still have unfinished tasks."

"After this incident, Su Heng may be more restrained in his behavior, but the Xiongnu have suffered heavy losses this time and will not give up. You should keep a close eye on them and find out all their lairs in the capital."

Sima Changfeng sneered, "It would be strange if a servant who orders people around like this doesn't die young!"

As soon as he said this, a cold sword was placed on his neck, flashing an angry cold light.

"Watch your words!" Yun Ting stared at him mercilessly with his dark cold eyes, as if he could immediately chop off Sima Changfeng's head as long as Xiao Yu gave the order.

Sima Changfeng lowered his eyes and looked at the cold blade that was only a millimeter away from his neck. He snorted coldly and stretched out two fingers to pinch the sword. "To be honest, it's unbearable!"

Yun Ting exerted force with his hands, but the sword did not move at all. A nameless anger suddenly arose in his heart, and he exerted internal force on his hands.

The sword was held firmly and remained motionless.

In the dark night, the flickering light reminded Xiao Yu of the person who would be waiting for him to come home with a frown under the candlelight.

I had a vague feeling in my heart that I couldn't wait to see her.

Xiao Yu didn't look at the two people who were arguing with each other beside him, and only left two words, "Return home."

Sima Changfeng glared at Yunting, his fingers pinching the sword, pushing it away a little bit, and then letting it go. There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a condescending disdain.

Yun Ting put the sword back into the scabbard, glanced coldly at Sima Changfeng, then turned around and strode after Xiao Yu.

When Xiao Yu returned to the mansion, he saw Su Lingyue, Caidie and Caiyi fiddling with medicinal herbs in the hall.

"Miss, is that so?"

"Well, pound it finer. Caidie, the red dates won't be enough for you."

"Um... ahem, miss, I don't have any."

Su Lingyue looked at Caidie's choking expression and couldn't help laughing. "The dates from southern Xinjiang are indeed sweet. If you like them, I'll ask the kitchen to send a basket to your room tomorrow. Let's make medicine with these first."

When Caidie heard this, she smiled so hard that her eyes and eyebrows curved into crescents, "Miss, you are so nice!"

Xiao Yu's eyes were full of tenderness. He walked into the hall with a light smile, "What is Yue'er doing?"

When Su Lingyue saw Xiao Yu come in, a bright smile immediately appeared on her pretty face.

She walked over and pulled Xiao Yu to sit on the stool next to her. "Wan Ning's medicine is almost finished. I'll make some more for her and ask A Jing to deliver it to her tomorrow. Have you finished dealing with the prince's affairs?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yu responded gently.

Su Lingyue pulled him to sit down, handed him the hand warmer, and placed her soft little hands on the back of his hands, rubbing them gently to warm them.

Xiao Yu sat with his eyes downcast, letting her fiddle with him.

Seeing her serious look, Xiao Yu's cold body began to warm up from the chest.

Seeing how warm and intimate the two were, Caidie and Caiyi tactfully left the hall and went to the dining room to arrange dinner.

After dinner, Xiao Yu went to take a bath first, while Su Lingyue continued to prepare the remaining medicine before returning to the room to take a bath.

After bathing, Caidie Caiyi applied facial cream and lip balm on Su Lingyue. Then after getting on the bed, she fell softly into Xiao Yu's arms.

"Are you tired?" Xiao Yu put down the book in his hand and held Su Lingyue's arm tightly.

"Yeah." Su Lingyue raised her arm and shook it in front of him, "My arm hurts from rolling the balls."

Xiao Yu held her with one hand and rubbed her arm with the other, his movements very gentle.

"Let the maid do it next time, and you just watch from the side."

"Yeah. It's nothing to do on normal days, but today I was anxious to get back to the room to be with you, so I used some strength in my arms."

Xiao Yu rubbed her forehead affectionately and asked gently, "Isn't that still your husband's fault?"

Su Lingyue leaned on his chest and whimpered, "Of course it's your fault. Your Majesty is so handsome, how could I bear to let you stay alone in an empty room."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows.

She spoke as if he were the little husband waiting for her favor.

Su Lingyue's eyebrows were curved as she looked straight at Xiao Yu, with a hint of confusion in her innocence. Her rosy and plump lips were like ripe cherries, and Xiao Yu could not help but take a bite.

After biting her soft lips for a long time, Xiao Yu finally let her go.

The tempting cherries are even redder.

Xiao Yu suppressed the desire to continue tasting, tidied up the loose hair at Su Lingyue's temples, and looked at her breathing slightly, her face flushed and the corners of her mouth raised. Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Telling her the news about Su Heng in this way shouldn't make her too sad.

Xiao Yu nudged Su Lingyue's forehead to the crook of her neck, rubbing it gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Yue'er, I have something not so good to tell you."

Su Lingyue frowned and asked curiously: "What is it?"

Xiao Yu briefly told Su Lingyue the news that Su Heng would be coming out soon.

Su Lingyue broke free from Xiao Yu's arms and sat up suddenly, her clear eyes full of unwillingness.

"It's like this, but he still can't die. He's really a scourge for thousands of years!" She said angrily, gritting her teeth.

If he had died, perhaps Xiao Changshi would not have rebelled in advance and would not have implicated his aunt.

Most importantly, Xiao Yu would not have planned as painstakingly as he does now.

Seeing that she was about to cry out of hatred, Xiao Yu took her into his arms again and comforted her in a gentle voice: "We are still short of evidence of his evil deeds. Once we have collected all the evidence, we can expose his true face in front of the people of the country. No matter what he does then, he will never be able to turn things around."

"Really?"

"Well, really."

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Su Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little fortunate.

"It took you so much effort to fight my father. If I hadn't married you, I would have been unable to defeat him even if I risked my life."

"I am your husband. As a husband, I should protect my wife." Xiao Yu gently rubbed her forehead and tightened his arms. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was holding some rare treasure in his arms.

He will also make arrangements for her retreat.
