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

In his previous life, Xiao Xuetang didn't have much dealings with Concubine Zheng. Later, not long after Lin Shaoshu ascended the throne, Concubine Zheng died suddenly, and the biggest suspect was Zheng Shu!

Rumor has it that it was Zheng Shu who killed Concubine Zheng for the position of concubine.

Regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, Xiao Xuetang knew that Concubine Zheng had always loved Zheng Shu. This time, Zheng Shu was able to go to Jiufan Mountain to participate in the election, and Concubine Zheng also secretly contributed a lot.

Regardless of whether Concubine Zheng has that ambition or not, the Zheng family in Jinling has a deep connection with Lin Xun, and has been suppressed by Lin Xun for many years.

But now that Queen Wang has been deposed, and Concubine Zheng in the harem is quite favored by Emperor Yonghui, I wonder if the political situation will change and have an impact on Lin Xun...

And the Phoenix Stage's selection of concubines the day before yesterday...

Xiao Xuetang looked at Xiao Yunni, who seemed to sense something and asked puzzledly: "Tangtang, what are you thinking about?"

After leaving the palace, everyone returned to their homes, but Lin Xun had to stay in the palace to deal with the remnants of the rebels, so he did not send Xiao Xuetang back.

It just so happened that Xiao Yunni's current residence was not far from the Xie family's. Mu Yan now lived alone in Kyoto, and had been close to Xiao Yunni these days. She would go to the Second Madam's house from time to time for a meal or something, so the three of them happened to go back to the Xie family together.

In the carriage, Xiao Yunni was as carefree as ever, unaware of Xiao Xuetang's worries, and said with a smile, "Tangtang is amazing. She managed to overthrow the Queen Mother and the Empress in one night. Didn't you see the way those nobles looked at you? It was like they were looking at a demon, full of respect and fear."

Even though Xiao Xuetang was worried, she couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this, and said, "Can you think of a good adjective?"

"Also, let me correct you. I was not the one who brought down the Queen Mother and the Empress. They fought among themselves and no one benefited in the end."

At this point, Xiao Xuetang sneered, and his eyes gradually became colder...

After returning from Jiufan Mountain, the situation in Kyoto has changed drastically. Queen Wang is doomed and no longer a threat. The most important thing is the Queen Mother. Is she really willing to let all her plans at Jiufan Mountain fail?

And that thing...

The carriage stopped at the gate of Xie's house. Xiao Shiqi stopped the carriage, took out a package and gave it to Xiao Xuetang, saying, "Miss Xiao, this is what the master asked me to give to you."

Xiao Yunni and Mu Yan were originally planning to go back, but when they saw what Xiao Xuetang was holding, they were a little surprised and asked, "Tangtang, what is this?"

"This is the treasure I snatched from the Queen Mother!"

Xiao Xuetang deliberately kept Xiao Yunni in suspense, took the heavy box from Xiao Shiqi, and realized something was wrong the moment he opened a corner.

Seeing Xiao Xuetang's hesitant expression, Xiao Shiqi asked in confusion: "Miss Xiao, is there something wrong with this box?"

Xiao Xuetang quickly pulled the cloth aside and looked at the silver-white box, which was so exquisitely crafted. However, Xiao Xuetang's face darkened instantly and he said, "This is not the concubine's stuff!"

Xiao Shiqi immediately said, "The master brought these things all the way down from Jiufan Mountain. Could it be that they were swapped in Caiwei Palace?"

Xiao Xuetang shook her head slightly, and then said with an unpleasant expression: "It wasn't swapped out from Caiwei Palace, but what the Queen Mother and the others got at the beginning was not the real imperial concubine's relic!"

After the words fell, Xiao Shiqi looked slightly surprised, while Mu Yan and Xiao Yunni were completely confused...

Almost at the same time, a low laugh with an unknown meaning was heard from the dark, saying: "It is indeed so."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mu Xingyun following them silently at some point, staring at them sinisterly with a pair of snake-like eyes.

Seeing Mu Xingyun, Mu Yan's heart skipped a beat and she instinctively tightened the whip in her hand.

On the other hand, Xiao Xuetang looked at Mu Xingyun calmly and asked coldly, "General Mu, why are you coming to me instead of discussing with Lin Shaoshu how to kill him and silence him?"

Obviously compared to Lin Shaoshu, Xiao Xuetang now dislikes and is more wary of Mu Xingyun!

Because she found that Mu Xingyun was very interested in Concubine Xie's relics.

Considering that Concubine Xie and Ye Jin did not belong to this era, and Mu Xingyun, as the high priest of Southern Xinjiang, knew some strange things such as the reincarnation of the divine bird, Xiao Xuetang was naturally very wary of Mu Xingyun.

Mu Xingyun was not upset when he heard this, but said leisurely: "With the Regent in the palace, there is no room for me to interfere. I can only go home and rest, and leave everything to fate."

Mu Xingyun seemed harmless and said, Xiao Xuetang sneered: "If you accept your fate, the sun will rise from the west."

Listening to Xiao Xuetang's ridicule, Mu Xingyun did not look annoyed, and casually played with the whip in his hand.

Under the dim light of the lantern, Mu Xingyun's handsome face looked a little blurry, but his eyes were deep and bright as he looked at Xiao Xuetang: "Yes, you and I are the same. We don't accept our fate..."

Then he chuckled again, "If you accept your fate, there won't be you and me today."

Xiao Xuetang heard the implication in his tone, and her eyebrows jumped...

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Yunni, who had always been carefree, also noticed something subtle.

While she was eating melon seeds, she poked Mu Yan, who had been holding the sword and keeping a wary eye on Mu Xingyun, with her finger: "What's going on between your sworn brother and Tang Tang?"

Mu Yan looked at Mu Xingyun expressionlessly, then a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft: "He is shameless, thinking about other people's wives!"

Xiao Xuetang and Mu Xingyun...

After being interrupted by the two, Mu Xingyun retracted his vague and unfathomable look and said, "Miss Xiao, I have a small gift for you. I hope you like it..."

Hearing the word "small gift" from Mu Xingyun, Xiao Xuetang suddenly had a bad feeling.

The next moment, the door of the Xie family was heard to open behind him, and Xie Yuhong ran out angrily, saying, "I'm going to kill that rebellious son right now..."

Following closely behind Xie Yuhong was Su's angry voice: "If you want to kill my son, kill me first, so that we mother and son won't be an eyesore to you..."

"Lan Ruo was seriously injured and now fell into the hands of the Qing Lian Guards. Not only did you not think of saving him, you also wanted to kill him. Is there any father like you in the world?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Xuetang quickly stopped the furious Xie Yuhong and said, "Uncle, if you have anything to say, please talk to me nicely..."

Xie Yuhong was furious: "Lies about military intelligence, framed loyal officials, there is no such unfilial son in my Xie family!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuetang immediately realized that Xie Yuhong was so angry because of the Jiufan Mountain incident.

At this time, Xiao Xuetang hurriedly said: "Uncle, my cousin must have his own reasons for doing this. Now the most urgent task is to rescue my cousin from Qinglian Guard Xia Yan, so as to avoid more troubles..."

At this moment, Madam Xie Er, who was standing by, came out with a pale face, supported by Xie Leifeng, and said in a tearful voice: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't lost the pearl, Lan Ruo wouldn't have been in trouble. It's all my fault!"

It was a chaotic night...
