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

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and I am afraid I am not up to the task."

Originally, when Lin Xun proposed to investigate the matter of the southern border of the Kyoto aristocratic families, Xiao Yu naturally had no objection.

If it weren't for Lin Xun's order, Xiao Yu also planned to secretly investigate the conspiracy of Southern Xinjiang lurking in Kyoto. Now happened to give Xiao Yu a good opportunity.

But the premise of all this is not to involve Xiao Xuetang——

Nanjiang, Lin Xun, each one of them is Xiao Xuetang's death warrant.

In her previous life, Xiao Xuetang was the queen, but she had an affair with Lin Xun, which was unacceptable to the world. After Xiao Xuetang passed away, Nanjiang broke through the capital, but the Tiance Army under Lin Xun did not take any action. People said that all this was Lin Xun's deliberate act of inviting a wolf into the house, and Xiao Xuetang was also burdened with the eternal infamy.

Xiao Yu later found out that they all misunderstood Lin Xun and everything was a huge conspiracy, but the situation was already beyond redemption.

He would help Lin Xun stop the invasion from Southern Xinjiang, but he would never agree to Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun being together.

Xiao Yu didn't want to repeat the tragedy of his previous life. Even though Xiao Xuetang had broken off the engagement with Lin Shaoshu in this life, but...

He would worry that everything would go as predicted, and Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun being together would only lead to a dead end!

On the way back to Kyoto, Xiao Yu was most concerned about two things: Nanjiang and preventing Xiao Xuetang from making the same mistake as in his previous life. As a result...

On the first day he came back, Xiao Xuetang moved into Lin Xun's villa; on the second day he came back, Xiao Xuetang broke off her engagement with Lin Shaoshu; on the third day he came back, Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun were very "intimate" together, and directly ignored the existence of his brother.

……

Xiao Xuetang ignored Xiao Yu and asked another question out of concern: "Today, the prince suggested that the emperor call the emperor back to the Xie family. Was it because of my third uncle?"

It has to be said that Xiao Xuetang's sensitivity is far better than that of ordinary people.

Lin Xun shook his head slightly and said, "The Xie family did nothing wrong, and it's time to return to Kyoto."

Xiao Yu sneered: "Your Highness, you are really a noble man who forgets things easily. It was you who personally ordered the exile of the Xie family."

Now Xiao Yu was looking at Lin Xun with increasing displeasure, and there was sarcasm in his words.

Xiao Xuetang subconsciously defended Lin Xun and said, "The culprit of the incident back then was obviously Prime Minister Wang who pressed on step by step. If it weren't for the prince, how could the Xie family have escaped and returned to Dongshan so easily?"

Xiao Yu!!!

"Xiao Xuetang, why are you always leaning outward with your elbows?"

Xiao Xuetang responded to Xiao Yu with a sneer.

"Then why did you spread the news about the restoration of the Xie family? Was it because you remembered the old relationship with Concubine Xie..."

Lin Xun said calmly, "The emperor is ill, and the queen is desperate and wants to bite anyone she catches. Since that's the case, find her some more things to do."

Xiao Xuetang knew better than anyone how much the Queen disliked Concubine Xie. Lin Xun's move could be said to be a heart-breaking move.

I’m afraid the Queen won’t be able to sleep well tonight.

I feel inexplicably relieved!

"Your Majesty, you are so smart."

Xiao Xuetang said with a smile, her pair of peach blossom eyes sparkling, her face showing gloating.

Xiao Yu looked at...

I simply couldn’t see it!

But when Xiao Yu mentioned what happened in Wenyuan Pavilion yesterday, he seemed to have thought of something. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Lin Xun and said, "Your Highness, the secret box of the Queen yesterday was the relic of the Imperial Concubine. I wonder if Your Highness can return it? Just consider it as a favor I owe Your Highness."

Xiao Yu also asked this reluctantly. After all, he had just rejected Lin Xun and now he needed help from others.

But Xiao Yu also knew in his heart that Concubine Xie was very important to Xiao Xuetang. If Xiao Yu didn't ask for it today, Xiao Xuetang would definitely find a way to get the secret box in the future. Wouldn't that mean Xiao Xuetang would continue to have contact with Lin Xun!

Xiao Yu had already planned to separate the two legal persons. At this time, Xiao Xuetang didn't know what Xiao Yu was thinking, but stared at Xiao Yu very vigilantly: "You have never been close to your aunt, what do you want the Nine Palaces Secret Box for? Could it be for Lin Shaoshu?"

Xiao Xuetang knew clearly that in her previous life, Xiao Yu admired Lin Shaoshu very much and even blamed her for turning against Lin Shaoshu!

Xiao Yu frowned, but Lin Xun saw that the two siblings were hostile to each other as soon as they met, so he had to speak up to smooth things over, saying, "The manufacturing process of the secret box seems to be related to an old friend of mine. I'm sorry that I can't return it."

"Old friend?!"

Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yu looked at Lin Xun at the same time, their movements were surprisingly consistent.

Lin Xun nodded slightly and said, "It's hard to say before it's confirmed. I'll tell you when there's some clues."

Lin Xun said this while looking at Xiao Xuetang.

That day in the palace, Lin Xun said that the secret box with a mechanism was very important to him. Xiao Xuetang thought that Lin Xun was lying to her, but she didn't expect it to be true.

However, Xiao Xuetang still did not give up. She stared at the secret box in Lin Xun's hand and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, you care about the secret box, but I care about the things left by the imperial concubine. Why don't you let me open it first?"

"No!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, one was Lin Xun and the other was Xiao Yu.

"What time is it now? We should go back early. And the prince should go to the palace tonight to take care of the sick."

Strangely enough, Emperor Yonghui was extremely fragile during his illness. He did not even trust his own princes and only kept Lin Xun by his side - a regent who, in the eyes of outsiders, had evil intentions and posed a great threat to the imperial power.

Xiao Xuetang was also very curious about the delicate relationship between Lin Xun and Emperor Yonghui, but she knew that knowing more secrets in the royal family was not a good thing, so Xiao Xuetang still kept to herself.

Xiao Yu saw that Xiao Xuetang in this life seemed to be really different from her previous life. She didn't seem to be so enthusiastic about royal affairs and imperial power...

Just when the brother and sister were thinking about their own things, Tianshu came outside and said that it was time to enter the palace.

Before leaving, Lin Xun said to Xiao Yu: "I hope Mr. Xiao will consider my proposal again."

Xiao Yu kept a tight face and said nothing, but he was shaken inside.

There was nothing more appropriate than joining forces with the Regent to investigate matters in southern Xinjiang, but he still had Xiao Xuetang in mind.

"One more thing..."

Before leaving, Xiao Xuetang called Lin Xun, avoiding Xiao Yu's gaze and whispered a few words to him...

……

As the night deepened, Xiao Xuetang didn't want to pay any attention to Xiao Yu after she separated from Lin Xun, but was still carried by Xiao Yu to the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion.

"You are the one who broke off the engagement. You should avoid suspicion with the Regent."

Xiao Yu glanced at the carriage that Xiao Xuetang took into the city. The Snow Eagle logo of the Tianji Palace on it was too obvious.

Xiao Xuetang snorted coldly, looked out the window, and was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Xuetang who turned her face away. Even if he had lived two lives, he didn't know how to get along with the current Xiao Xuetang...

After all, they have been enemies for too long.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yu decided to change the topic to a safer one: "Just now, what did you say to the Regent? He seemed to have a strange look on his face."

Xiao Xuetang finally turned around and looked at him, mocking him with a half-smile: "Prince Xiao is really perceptive. He can tell what other people's expressions are even when he's wearing a mask."

Xiao Yu...
