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

Phoenix Forest...

When Mu Xingyun realized that something might have changed with Lin Shaoshu, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He planned to capture Xiao Xuetang and threaten Lin Xun!

If Lin Shaoshu really died at the hands of Lin Xun, then he would have gotten Xiao Xuetang, and all his painstaking planning would have been worthwhile.

Just as Mu Xingyun moved, a sword was placed on his neck almost at the same time...

The person holding the sword was actually Mu Yan!

Mu Xingyun looked at Mu Yan, his expression changed slightly, and he said with anger in his eyes: "Mu Yan, you dare to betray me?"

Mu Yan held the sword in his hand and looked at Mu Xingyun expressionlessly, saying, "Brother, this is a temporary palace. If you don't want His Majesty to know about your affairs, you'd better stop."

For a moment, Mu Xingyun watched Mu Yan's expression change several times, as if he was a little afraid, and finally sneered: "Okay, very good."

Just at this time, someone under Mu Xingyun came to find him. Before Mu Xingyun left, he threatened Xiao Xuetang in a sinister voice: "Xiao Xuetang, you said one thing wrong..."

"In the whole plan, the most important thing is not the secret letter, but the person who delivers it!"

The person who delivered the secret letter?

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Xuetang's eyes. When she came to her senses, Mu Xingyun had already walked away.

At this moment, Mu Yan also retracted his sword and stepped forward and said, "Xuetang, are you okay?"

Xiao Xuetang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "It's okay. Is there any news from the prince?"

Mu Yan said: "Not yet, why don't we go to the Qinzheng Palace and ask about it now."

Xiao Xuetang hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the Xie family villa first. My aunt will be worried if I'm out for so long."

At this time, in the Xie family's courtyard, everyone was not affected by the previous panic and were eating barbecue in the garden.

The venison was taken from the small kitchen of the palace, while the rabbit meat was caught by Xie Lanluo and Xiao Yunni.

At first, Su thought they were too naughty, but when she saw that Xie Lanluo was setting up the barbecue grill in a very professional manner, Su did not stop them.

When Xiao Xuetang and Mu Yan came back, the barbecue on the rack was already sizzling with oil and emitting a fragrant aroma, which aroused their appetite.

Seeing the two of them coming, Xiao Yunni waved to Xiao Xuetang and said with a smile: "Tangtang, why did you talk to Zheng Shu for so long? If you don't come back, we will eat all the barbecue!"

As he said that, he handed the roasted rabbit leg to Xiao Xuetang.

Su also brought over the sweet soup. When she saw Xiao Xuetang and Mu Yan, a trace of worry flashed across her face. She said, "Why did you stay in the woods for so long? Did the Zheng family cause you any trouble?"

Although Su was born in Jiangmen, she had been the mistress for so many years, so she was naturally very sensitive.

The Marquis's Mansion has fallen into decline, and now there are two princesses. I wonder how many noble families will see this as a thorn in their side...

Su was a little worried that Emperor Yonghui would suddenly change his attitude at the Phoenix Terrace today and target Xiao Xuetang.

Xiao Xuetang didn't want her aunt to worry about her, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, Zheng Shu just talked to me for a few words, she doesn't dare to cause trouble to me."

Xiao Yunni was worried about the chaos in the world, so she said to Mrs. Xie: "Don't worry, Aunt Xie. Tangtang is now the regent princess, and she won the oath of ownership by Princess Jiuge in public. Who in Kyoto dares to look down on Tangtang now?"

Listening to Xiao Yunni's sarcastic words, Xiao Xuetang didn't even change his expression. He took the rabbit leg from Xiao Yunni and asked her with a half-smile, "Are the King of Yue and the others back?"

Hearing Lin Shaojin's name, Xiao Yunni almost choked on the meat in her mouth, and her face turned red: "Why did you mention him for no reason? Where he is, what does it have to do with me?!"

It was rare for Xiao Xuetang to see Xiao Yunni in such an embarrassed state. She smiled and said teasingly, "You are the Princess of Yue now. If not you, who else should I ask?"

It would have been fine if the princess wasn't mentioned, but as soon as Xiao Yunni was mentioned, she immediately got furious and said, "Xiao Xuetang! I think you did this on purpose."

As she said that, she was about to wipe Xiao Xuetang's face with her oily hands. Xiao Xuetang quickly hid behind Mu Yan. Xiao Yunni didn't notice and smeared all the oil on her hands on Mu Yan's face.

Mu Yan...

After a short silence, Xiao Xuetang laughed unkindly: "Mu Yan, don't indulge her, fight back quickly."

Mu Yan was originally grilling meat obediently, but she didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected disaster. She immediately put down the barbecue in her hands and went to catch the two restless ones.

For a moment, the villa was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was just right, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest appeared...

The person who came hurriedly over was none other than Xiao Shiqi!

In order to facilitate the delivery of messages, Xiao Shiqi disguised herself as a palace maid.

His disguise was so lifelike that Xiao Xuetang didn't recognize him when he came over. It was only when he opened his mouth that she realized...

"Xiao...Xiao Shiqi, why are you like this?"

Xiao Shiqi tugged at her short skirt. Seeing everyone's surprised look, she said with a hint of pride in her eyes, "There are so many people in the palace this time, it's a bit inconvenient for me to be around you, so I changed my makeup a little and dressed up as a palace maid. This way, I can better protect you without attracting attention."

Xiao Xuetang looked at Xiao Shiqi's charming face and said with great admiration: "Thank you for your hard work and sacrifice."

Xiao Shiqi didn't care about wearing women's clothes. He smiled and said, "Disguise is a compulsory course for us secret guards. In the past, Lord Tianshu even dressed up as an oiran to accompany men for drinks for a mission. I am just a palace maid. It is not considered a sacrifice."

Xiao Xuetang...

Xiao Xuetang stroked his chin and admired Xiao Shiqi's disguise, saying, "It's quite similar, but your Adam's apple looks a bit abrupt. I think I can hide it. Are you interested?"

Without the Adam's apple, wouldn't that make him a eunuch?

Xiao Shiqi subconsciously touched his Adam's apple and said with a look of horror: "That's not necessary."

Xiao Xuetang made a "tsk" sound, which showed that he did not trust her medicine-making skills.

But joking aside, Xiao Xuetang still didn't forget the serious matter and asked, "Why are you here? The meeting in the front hall is over. How is Lin Shaoshu now?"

Oh, give him a taste of his own medicine. Lin Shaoshu wanted to frame Lin Xun for colluding with the Eastern Palace to rebel and assassinate Emperor Yonghui, so Xiao Xuetang will make him taste the consequences of his own actions!

As long as there was something suspicious about Lin Shaoshu, he would no longer be able to gain merit by suppressing the rebellion of the Eastern Palace as he did in his previous life. Whether the Eastern Palace rebelled or not in Kyoto, Lin Xun would take action at that time, so there would not be so many lives sacrificed for no reason due to the change of power in the royal family...

This is Xiao Xuetang’s response plan!

Because she had a plan to deal with it, and it was within her expectations, Xiao Xuetang had remained very calm since meeting Mu Xingyun at the Phoenix Terrace...

But when the Qinzheng Palace was mentioned, Xiao Shiqi's smiling face changed slightly, and after a long while he stammered, "Miss Xiao, the situation is not good."

"The person who broke out of Kyoto and delivered the letter this time was Master Xie. Half a quarter of an hour ago, he personally testified in front of His Majesty and Elder Zhang that... the prince colluded with the Eastern Palace to plot treason!"
