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

All this is Xiao Xuetang’s revenge!

Just when she thought she was in control of the situation and was finally close to success after years of forbearance and planning, Xiao Xuetang dealt her a heavy blow...

The feeling of failure on the verge of success and under Xiao Xuetang's mocking gaze, the empress dowager felt unprecedented humiliation.

Her mood fluctuated greatly overnight, and she was so angry at Xiao Xuetang's words that she vomited blood and fainted.

But as soon as he fainted, Xiao Xuetang woke him up with a needle.

Looking at the silver needle in Xiao Xuetang's hand, the Queen Mother exclaimed, and Xiao Xuetang said: "Don't worry, this silver needle is new and not poisonous."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother finally put her heart back into her stomach...

"It seems that the Empress Dowager, who has always been extraordinary, is also afraid of death?"

"I thought you had been living in Jiashou Palace for so many years and had long since become indifferent to fame, wealth, life and death..."

Xiao Xuetang's clear voice at this time sounded like a devil's sound in the ears of the empress dowager.

After the Queen Mother spat out blood out of anger, her mind became much clearer. She looked at Xiao Xuetang and sneered, "No one is a saint, so who is not afraid of death? No, even saints are afraid of life and death, and care about fame and gain. So I am unwilling to let the power fall into someone else's hands. Is that wrong?"

At this time, the Queen Mother had obviously thrown off the disguise of so-called compassion for all living beings, revealing her greedy nature beneath her mortal body.

Xiao Xuetang stared into the Queen Mother's eyes and said, "Of course you are right, but I am more curious about why you chose to support Lin Shaoshu when you hate Concubine Xie so much?"

Xiao Xuetang was very concerned about what the Queen Mother said just now. She felt that they seemed to have overlooked something...

Last night in Caiwei Palace, she half-faked that Concubine Xie's death was related to the Queen Mother, but just when she was about to get to the truth, she was interrupted by Lin Shaoshu!

However, the death of Concubine Xie is shrouded in mystery. Even though the murderer who killed her is known, Xiao Xuetang is still unclear about many reasons and the whole story.

The Queen Mother did not expect Xiao Xuetang to be so persistent in pursuing Concubine Xie. Her expression changed several times, and she finally said, "I can tell you the reason, but you have to let me know how I lost!"

At this point, the Queen Mother gritted her teeth and asked Xiao Xuetang: "There is Xie Lanruo's blood letter as evidence, why did the Emperor let him go so easily?"

It would have been fine if Xie Lanruo hadn't been mentioned, but when the Xie family and Xie Lanruo were mentioned, Xiao Xuetang's face instantly turned cold, and he sneered, "You know that the emperor trusts the Xie family very much now, so he chose your cousin as the messenger, thinking that the plan was impeccable. But there is still one thing you didn't expect, you were destined to lose from the beginning!"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother asked unwillingly, "Which point is it?"

Before Xiao Xuetang could answer, at this moment, Lin Shaoshu's voice came from outside the door: "Uncle, the Royal Grandmother is old and frightened. Father asked me to personally escort the Royal Grandmother back to the capital."

Lin Shaoshu lifted the curtain and came in, looking calm and composed.

It was completely different from when he saw Lin Xun a quarter of an hour ago. He was shocked, terrified, and unbelievable, as if he had seen a ghost. All kinds of complicated emotions were intertwined, and his face was full of excitement...

Lin Shaoshu was dumbfounded. If Mu Xingyun had not appeared in time to rescue him and whispered something in Lin Shaoshu's ear, Lin Shaoshu would probably have lost his manners and questioned Emperor Yonghui in public!

The empress dowager, who was originally in a state of panic, felt as if she had found her backbone when she saw Lin Shaoshu. She grabbed Lin Shaoshu's hand and asked, "Shaoshu, how is Kyoto?"

Lin Shaoshu glanced at Lin Xun with a sinister look, but soon recovered and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Grandmother, Wang Xian is causing chaos in Kyoto this time, fortunately there is the Emperor's uncle..."

"It was the uncle who dispatched the Youzhou army to Kyoto to quell the rebellion overnight. Now all the followers who colluded with Wang Xian in Kyoto have been purged, and Kyoto is peaceful!"

When he said the last two words, Lin Shaoshu almost broke his back teeth.

Everything went according to plan, and in the end he was the hero who turned the tide and saved everything!

He would also take advantage of the opportunity to attack Kyoto to directly wipe out Wang Xian and Lin Shaoyu, and eliminate all the followers of the Wang family and the Eastern Palace without leaving a single one alive...

But now, Lin Xun has disrupted all plans.

Not only did Lin Xun snatch away the credit for suppressing the rebellion that should have belonged to him, but what made Lin Shaoshu even more uneasy was that Lin Xun actually captured Wang Xian and Lin Shaoyu alive!

Now the two men are being guarded in Kyoto by the soldiers of the palace, waiting to be interrogated after Emperor Yonghui returns to Beijing.

Lin Shaoshu knew clearly that he had already revealed his true colors in the Jiufan Mountain incident, and he would be in for another bloody storm after returning to Beijing...

He will face an even more difficult situation!

The culprits behind all this are Lin Xun and Xiao Xuetang!

At this time, the Queen Mother heard what Lin Shaoshu said, and her eyes were filled with disbelief: "Impossible, how could Lin Xun dispatch reinforcements from Youzhou and go to Kyoto to quell the rebellion overnight?"

Hearing this, even Lin Shaoshu looked at Lin Xun with a complicated expression...

He also wondered how Lin Xun had managed to turn the already declining situation around at the last critical moment?

Under several pairs of curious gazes, Lin Xun said calmly: "Of course it's because... Youzhou's troops have long been stationed near Jiufan Mountain."

"what?!"

"How can this be……"

Two unbelievable voices rang out at the same time. After a long time, the first person to come to his senses was the Queen Mother...

"Your Majesty, I trust you so much!"

Only then did the empress dowager realize that the Jiufan Mountain was not only a trap set for them by Lin Xun and Xiao Xuetang, but also by Emperor Yonghui.

The Queen Mother was extremely angry, but she laughed instead: "I really underestimated him..."

The son who she had the impression that she could only manipulate at her will, turned out to have become an unpredictable emperor in the past five years.

After Lin Shaoshu couldn't believe it, he felt even more anxious and worried...

Emperor Yonghui's trust in Lin Xun was beyond his imagination. At this moment, Lin Shaoshu had a bad feeling in his heart. If they defeated the Eastern Palace this time, would they end up making wedding clothes for others?

Just when Lin Shaoshu was feeling anxious, he heard Lin Xun say calmly, "Your Highness Prince Heng is going to personally escort the Queen Mother back to Kyoto?"

Lin Shaoshu looked at the empress dowager, who looked downcast and no longer as energetic as before, and nodded slightly.

This time they suffered a crushing defeat at Jiufan Mountain and suffered heavy losses. Lin Shaoshu absolutely cannot afford to lose the Queen Mother, this great helper!

The Empress Dowager became alienated from Emperor Yonghui overnight and was threatened by Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.

At this time, after hearing Lin Shaoshu's words, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw. Looking at Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun, he threatened sinisterly: "Lin Xun, although you have made contributions to quelling the rebellion, King Heng also made contributions to quelling the rebellion in Jiufan Mountain! You are proud of your own achievements and don't take me seriously, but don't you even care about the soldiers under King Heng's command?"
