After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Xiao Xuetang still decided to return to the Marquis' Mansion!

Because of last night's dream and Foshu's identity, Xiao Xuetang sensed some danger -

In her previous life, she attributed all the tragedies to Ye Jin's wolfish ambition and Lin Shaoshu's indifference, which led to her and the Xie family's destruction.

But now because of the intervention of Southern Xinjiang, Xiao Xuetang realized that the truth of the matter might be more complicated than she had imagined.

Even though she herself had secluded herself in Shuiyunju, it was clear that a conspiracy against her was already unfolding...

Instead of running away, it is better to face the challenge head on!

If she stayed in Shuiyunju all the time, firstly, the old princess might be implicated, and secondly, the other party might not dare to take action because they were afraid of Lin Xun.

Therefore, Xiao Xuetang decided to return to the Marquis' Mansion and use himself as bait to catch the other party's fox tail.

Before bidding farewell to the old princess, Xiao Xuetang went to find Lin Xun first, intending to remind Lin Xun to be careful in southern Xinjiang, but was told that Lin Xun had entered the palace again early in the morning.

However, Lin Xun went to the palace today not to attend court, but because Emperor Yonghui went back to rest at Concubine Liu's place last night, and unexpectedly he suddenly vomited blood in the middle of the night.

When the Queen got the news, she insisted that Concubine Liu was the one who seduced the Queen and wanted to execute her. Concubine Liu was the cousin of Concubine Zheng. Concubine Zheng, who had never cared about worldly affairs, got the news and went to stop them. The Queen then took the opportunity to accuse Concubine Zheng of using any means to win favor.

After all, the harem is in chaos now.

Xiao Xuetang had seen Concubine Liu, who had entered the palace three years ago. She was good at singing and dancing, and was a well-known talented woman in Jiangnan. More importantly, she looked very much like Concubine Xie when she was young.

When she first entered the palace, Concubine Liu was favored by the emperor. In addition, she had a cousin who was a royal concubine, so she was very conspicuous in the harem. Of course, it attracted the attention of the queen!

The Queen had long wanted to get rid of Concubine Liu as soon as possible. This time, something happened to Emperor Yonghui in her palace, so the Queen made a big fuss about it.

Lin Xun went there at this time not for the harem affairs, but because Emperor Yonghui, who was in a daze, ordered him to enter the palace...

The Yonghui Emperor's illness was strange, so all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital were summoned to the palace last night. When he regained consciousness, he summoned the Regent to the palace, causing panic among the people in the court.

Fearing that Emperor Yonghui's health would not recover, he ordered the prince to enter the palace to take care of him.

The queen, who was originally jealous of others in the harem, now stopped being jealous. It is said that she met with Prime Minister Wang this morning and summoned several of the prince's teachers, hoping to rescue the prince who was under house arrest.

After all, Emperor Yonghui is in poor health. If the crown prince is under house arrest at this time, wouldn’t that be a good thing for Lin Shaoshu, Lin Shaojin and others?

All this news was told by Tianshu who stayed in Shuiyunju.

Tianshu is Lin Xun's close guard, but unexpectedly he would stay in Shuiyunju this time.

Xiao Xuetang didn't expect that so many things would happen in the court and the harem just because he slept for half a day longer.

Xiao Xuetang was silent for a while, and under Tianshu's slightly expectant gaze, she asked very sincerely...

"Don't the people in their palace need to sleep?"

Tianshu...

Tianshu sighed and said, "Miss, I thought you would care about our prince. When the emperor fell ill, the one who was in the most trouble and was sent to the cusp of the storm was our prince again."

Those civil officials who are good at conspiracy theories might think that the regent is deliberately making trouble and wants to replace the emperor.

After all, Lin Xun had just entered the palace yesterday, and Emperor Yonghui fell ill at night.

Moreover, during the day, Lin Xun and Emperor Yonghui were alone for a whole hour. Maybe it was at that time that Lin Xun did something to Emperor Yonghui.

When Tianshu told Xiao Xuetang all the rumors, Xiao Xuetang was stunned and said, "But the prince was accompanying the emperor in court yesterday."

"And it was the Queen who hosted a banquet at Wenyuan Pavilion yesterday. There were so many people there. Why did she suspect the Prince?"

Tianshu sneered and said, "Those people want to accuse me of something, and they will find a pretext for it."

Who made Lin Xun so young and powerful that he overshadowed the crown prince and the princes? Who made Lin Xun lead his troops into the capital and deposed Emperor Ai in public?

According to ethics, even though Emperor Ai was a puppet emperor, he was still the Son of Heaven.

Even if it was to be abolished, it should not be done by Lin Xun, a minister, but should be left to the rites and laws.

Xiao Xuetang frowned slightly...

She knew that there was a lot of controversy about Lin Xun in the community, but she never expected that his situation would be so bad.

Xiao Xuetang could see that the reason why Lin Xun had been able to hold a high position in recent years was because Emperor Yonghui trusted him despite opposition from many others.

But if Emperor Yonghui were no longer around one day, no matter which prince ascended the throne, Lin Xun, the powerful regent, would be a great threat.

This person, standing at a high position, may seem glorious, but it is lonely at the top...

Even the court officials felt that the reason why the current regent was so obedient was because he remembered the kindness of the late emperor, and that Emperor Yonghui and the late emperor were brothers from the same mother.

But if Emperor Yonghui and the old princess were gone, no one in the court would be able to intimidate Lin Xun...

No wonder when he heard the news that Emperor Yonghui was ill, the usually lazy Lin Xun also hurried into the palace to take charge!

Xiao Xuetang felt a little sympathy for Lin Xun in her heart, but seeing Tianshu looking at her with burning eyes, she felt a little strange.

Shen Shen said: "But I can't help the prince in any way. Do you need me to go to the palace to treat the emperor?"

Tianshu nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Speaking of this matter, perhaps only Miss Xiao can help the prince."

Xiao Xuetang???

"The prince is in his prime, has no wife or children, and is all alone without any worries. It's reasonable for the court officials to worry that the prince might suddenly rebel one day. But what if the prince marries and has children?"

Tianshu smiled enthusiastically, but in Xiao Xuetang's opinion, that smile was like a weasel seeing a chicken...

"As long as the prince gets married, has children, and lives a normal life, it will dispel some people's suspicions."

Xiao Xuetang...

Although she suspected that Tianshu was talking nonsense, she had no evidence!

But Xiao Xuetang still followed Tianshu's words and said, "If that's the case, then let's get married."

Tianshu's face was filled with joy...

Xiao Xuetang only heard: "Although the prince has a cold temper and a bad reputation, he is still in a high position and has great power. There are still many noble ladies from aristocratic families who are willing to marry him."

For example, Wang Yueying and Princess Wushuang.

However, Xiao Xuetang felt that according to the Wang family's position, Lin Xun probably would not marry her, so it would most likely be the princess of the Mu Palace.

Tianshu saw that Xiao Xuetang had even thought of a candidate for his master's princess. He was silent for a while before saying, "Miss Xiao, you are so thoughtful."

Xiao Xuetang also smiled: "Of course, after all, the prince has been helping me all this time, I remember this kindness."

Tianshu...

He originally thought that after Xiao Xuetang broke off the engagement, his prince would be able to ascend to the throne. Why does it seem that things are developing completely differently from him now?

But fortunately, Miss Xiao lives in Shuiyun. With this convenient location, his prince still has a chance!

Tianshu's rejoicing continued until Xiao Xuetang finished examining the old princess' pulse and proposed to return to the Marquis' Mansion...
