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

An hour ago...

After Huizong received the evidence presented by the Qinglian Guards at the Phoenix Tower, he did not make it public. Instead, he placed the empress under house arrest and sent people to discuss the matter with these trusted old ministers.

He originally wanted to let Zhang Ge Lao and the others make a decision, but he didn't expect that Zhang Ge Lao's reaction was even more panicked than his.

As everyone was talking, Zhang Ge seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the young man wearing a mask and hiding in the corner, but with an unignorable temperament, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?"

"During this trip to Jiufan Mountain, you are responsible for the safety of His Majesty. Now that something has happened, you should make a decision."

Although Lord Zhang disliked Lin Xun in many ways on weekdays, when something really happened, he actually thought the same as Emperor Yonghui that only Lin Xun was reliable.

After all, Lin Xun would never do anything that would harm the country.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lin Xun pondered for a moment, then looked at Xia Yan and said, "Since the secret letter was intercepted by Commander Xia, it means that Commander Xia may have a way to break the impasse?"

Seeing Lin Xun, Xia Yan only felt the old injury on his shoulder aching slightly. After a moment, he said, "Your Highness, don't be too optimistic about this matter. Although our men have intercepted a secret letter from the East Palace, this is a serious matter. Who can be sure that the East Palace and the Youyang Army only have one way to contact each other? The most urgent task now is to make preparations early..."

Different from Zhang Ge Lao and others who held a skeptical attitude, Xia Yan's words clearly confirmed that the East Palace had the intention of rebellion.

Beware of the East Palace...

Xia Yan said: "The most urgent thing is to ask His Majesty to return to Kyoto as soon as possible!"

"Kyoto is only half a day's distance from Jiufan Mountain. We brought 30,000 elite soldiers with us to the palace this time. Moreover, not all the imperial guards left in Kyoto obey the orders of the crown prince. When we return to Kyoto and reveal our identities, the imperial guards and imperial guards will naturally open the door..."

"By then, it will be clear whether the prince has rebellious intentions!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed across Emperor Yonghui's eyes.

As Xia Yan said, returning to Kyoto is the best option at this time.

But if the prince really rebels, then Emperor Yonghui will be in great danger...

At this moment, Lin Shaoshu, who had been silent, retorted: "Commander Xia, father is the emperor, how can we take risks so easily?"

Xia Yan glanced at Lin Shaoshu coldly. He had a strange temper and was only loyal to the emperor. He treated the princes equally and said with disdain, "Then what does His Royal Highness Prince Heng think?"

Lin Shaoshu knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I think this matter is of great importance. We cannot wrongly accuse my brother just because of a secret letter, nor can we let you put yourself in danger. Therefore, I am willing to return to Kyoto first to find out the truth!"

After the words fell, everyone's expressions became different...

Lin Xun glanced at Lin Shaoshu coldly, with a faint light flashing in his eyes.

……

At this moment in the Phoenix Forest, Xiao Xuetang quickly figured out the whole story.

"From the moment the Queen Mother began to prepare for the selection of concubines for Lin Shaoshu, it was all a setup!"

"Everyone is focusing on the selection of Princess Heng. In fact, from the very beginning, you wanted to lure us to Jiufan Mountain. Leaving the Eastern Palace in Kyoto at that time may seem like giving the Eastern Palace a chance to reform, but in fact it will allow the Eastern Palace to embezzle..."

"Lin Shaoyu's character is not firm, so you must have planted many spies around him; Prince Jiumo, who is good at bewitching people, and the Taiyuan Wang family who is now with Lin Shaoshu, are actually your people!"

"So, it is not unexpected that Wang Luoluo will become the Princess of Heng today. It is expected. It is the deal you made with the Taiyuan Wang family."

Listening to Xiao Xuetang's calm voice explaining their plan, the look in Mu Xingyun's eyes became a little subtle for a moment.

After a moment, he said to Xiao Xuetang: "You have been in a coma these days, but I didn't expect that you know the situation in Kyoto so well."

Xiao Xuetang sneered, looked at Mu Xingyun with a cool and snowy gaze and said, "The reason why I was unconscious for so long is related to you, right?"

"If I were awake and had the memories of my past life, I would definitely cause trouble. It was precisely because I was unconscious for so long and was so busy with what happened in Kyoto that I forgot that you would take control of the East Palace early. Before coming to Jiufan Mountain, I didn't have the slightest bit of vigilance."

At this point, Xiao Xuetang couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if he was helpless about falling into such a passive state.

After a moment, Xiao Xuetang said, "But it's not difficult to control Lin Shaoyu. In fact, the most important thing is Wang Xian... I'm very curious, what method did you use to make an old fox like Wang Xian take the risk of treason?"

But Mu Xingyun did not directly answer Xiao Xuetang's question, but said: "The rebellion of the Eastern Palace is a foregone conclusion. Even Lin Xun is powerless to reverse the situation. Xiao Xuetang..."

He suddenly looked at Xiao Xuetang and said, "Even if you have betrayed me countless times, I will still give you a chance and a choice..."

"As long as you give in, I will make you get what you want..."

"Xie family, Xiao Yu, the position of queen, as long as you want it, I will give it to you!"

The evening mist was heavy and the autumn afternoon sun was brilliant, but dusk also came exceptionally early.

The indigo-colored mountains in the distance were hidden in the mist, and the phoenix flower forest behind them was no longer as dazzling as it was during the day. It shone on the beautiful eyebrows of the woman, like the embers of a burning fire...

Hazy and silent, it transcends the distance between time and life and death; so close yet so far away.

Mu Xingyun's eyes were filled with blood, and his voice became lowered, becoming mysterious and distant...

He wanted this phoenix to stay for him!

"OK……"

Xiao Xuetang actually agreed without hesitation, which made Mu Xingyun's eyes flash with surprise.

Xiao Xuetang curled her lips and smiled. Her black and white eyes were smoky in the sunlight, and there was a kind of charming beauty. She slowly approached Mu Xingyun: "What I want most now..."

The setting sun shone on Xiao Xuetang's face, with a hazy beauty, which made Mu Xingyun's expression flutter, and he couldn't help but get closer to the "light" in front of him.

The next moment, a cold light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and a dagger was pressed against Mu Xingyun's heart. Xiao Xuetang's voice also became fierce: "What I want most now is your life!"

Although Mu Xingyun's kung fu was not as good as it was in the past, his reaction was extremely fast. He grabbed Xiao Xuetang's dagger with one hand and said, "You are crazy..."

Blood flowed out from between Mu Xingyun's fingers. The dagger in Xiao Xuetang's hand was so sharp that it could cut hair with a single blow.

If Mu Xingyun had reacted a little slower, he would have probably been bleeding...

Xiao Xuetang met Mu Xingyun's cold gaze, and said with a sneer on his face, "Master Priest, we will wait and see!"

"This game has just begun. Who will win in the end? No one knows until the end."

As the afterglow of the setting sun fell, the flowers in the Phoenix Forest blossomed like fire, and reflected in the woman's black and white eyes, it looked like a burning flame...
