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

Chapter 97: Seeing through the conspiracy and taking advantage of it

When Xiao Xuetang woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar room.

She seemed to have slept for a very long time and had a very long dream. In the dream...

"woke up."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from her ears. Xiao Xuetang's confused eyes suddenly focused and she looked outside the bed curtain...

Through the curtains, she could vaguely see a tall and slender man standing beside the bed. There was a curtain between them, and his figure was looming. For a moment, she could not tell whether it was reality or she was still dreaming.

Then a slender hand lifted the bed curtain, and golden sunlight poured in, and everything in the world became clear!

I saw a man in black, with light and shadow falling on the left side of his face. The green lotus pattern looked like it was burning by fire, with a kind of gorgeous and misty beauty.

But it was just a quick glimpse. Just as a hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Xuetang's eyes, she saw Lin Xun had taken the mask beside him and put it on quickly.

Xiao Xuetang felt a little regretful, but then she suppressed the subtle emotion in her heart, looked at Lin Xun and asked, "Your Majesty, you saved me?"

Lin Xun glanced at her indifferently and saw that she looked normal and did not show hatred like ordinary people. There was an inexplicable gleam in her eyes.

But on his face, he still looked calm and said, "No need to thank me. After all, you and I are allies now."

Then he looked at Xiao Xuetang and sneered, "You seem quite smart on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to be fooled by such a despicable trick. Or is it because the other party is Lin Shaoshu that you don't have the slightest guard against him!"

When he spoke of the latter part, there was a hint of anger in Lin Xun's tone.

Xiao Xuetang didn't know what he was angry about, but based on the experience they had spent together for some time, Xiao Xuetang could tell that Lin Xun seemed angry?

Seeing Xiao Xuetang didn't say anything, Lin Xun's face became even colder. He looked at Xiao Xuetang with a cold gaze, and his tone was a bit ambiguous: "So, when you told me before that you wanted to break off the engagement with Lin Shaoshu, were you teasing me again?"

Lin Xun's tone was as calm as ever, but if you listened carefully, your voice was a little dry. He clenched his palms into fists behind his back, and veins bulged on the backs of his hands.

At first, Xiao Xuetang didn't understand why Lin Xun changed his expression so quickly, but she understood what he said later!

"of course not……"

Xiao Xuetang immediately said, "I came to Huguo Temple today, and Uncle Wu has been following me in secret, just to prevent Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin from plotting!"

When he said this, Xiao Xuetang's tone also turned cold...

In his previous life, Xiao Xuetang had already suffered a setback in the Huguo Temple, and he would never make the same mistake again in his new life!

Therefore, Xiao Xuetang had made all the necessary preparations for this visit to Huguo Temple.

This includes but is not limited to carrying poison and hidden weapons for self-defense. More importantly, Uncle Wu is good at kung fu and is watching in secret.

In the Ksitigarbha Hall, Xiao Xuetang took advantage of the situation and pretended to be knocked unconscious by Lin Shaoshu in order to bring out the plan of Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin later.

But she didn't expect that Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin had such vicious intentions, and actually wanted to use her to ruin Lin Xun's reputation...

"There is nothing good about men!"

Xiao Xuetang sneered, with a cold look in his eyes...

Just a moment ago, she was swearing to you that she would marry no one but you, but she didn't expect that because of Ye Jin's instigation, she wanted to send her to another man's bed for his so-called career.

Even though Xiao Xuetang had seen through Lin Shaoshu's cold and selfish nature, Lin Shaoshu dared to use Concubine Xie today, which had crossed Xiao Xuetang's bottom line!

She wanted to take revenge and teach Lin Shaoshu, Ye Jin and the people behind them a lesson!

Just as Xiao Xuetang was thinking, he heard Tianshu's cautious voice from outside: "Master, how do we deal with the female assassin in Southern Xinjiang?"

"Since he is Lin Shaoshu's man, let him accept it himself."

Lin Xun's nonchalant voice made Tianshu feel a chill on his spine.

This dynasty strictly prohibits the practice of witchcraft, especially in southern Xinjiang where witches are considered monsters.

Lin Shaoshu, as the most trusted prince by the emperor, is proud of his noble character, but if he accepts this witch from southern Xinjiang, his reputation will be ruined.

but……

He deserved it.

When Tianshu was about to do as he was told, Xiao Xuetang stopped him and asked, "What Southern Xinjiang assassin?"

Tianshu glanced at Lin Xun, and when he saw Lin Xun nodded, Tianshu said, "It was the Third Prince who invited the master to Shede Courtyard in your name, secretly drugged him, and sent a witch from Southern Xinjiang..."

When he said this, Tianshu did not forget to speak well of Lin Xun, saying, "The witches of Southern Xinjiang are naturally charming and are the best at bewitching. But my master is not the kind of person who would be bewitched by beauty. He saw through the Third Prince's plot at a glance and directly captured the female assassin for interrogation."

Xiao Xuetang didn't notice Tianshu's good intentions, but frowned slightly and said, "No, this is not right!"

Tianshu looked at Xiao Xuetang in confusion and asked, "Miss Xiao, what's wrong?"

"Lin Shaoshu's ultimate goal is not to seduce the prince, but to find something to hold against him. Why would he send a woman from southern Xinjiang?"

Xiao Xuetang muttered to herself, and then as if she had thought of something, she gritted her teeth and said, "We were fooled by Ye Jin!"

"What a good Ye Jin who is good at getting along with everyone, what a shrewd queen! We almost became pawns in their hands..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun was silent for a moment, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

Tianshu was puzzled and asked, "Miss Xiao, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Hearing Tianshu's doubtful voice, Xiao Xuetang came back to his senses from the shock and said, "This is a long story. In short, the Southern Border witch was not Lin Shaoshu's person, but was sent by the Queen!"

"Ye Jin took advantage of Lin Shaoshu's eagerness to win over the prince and framed me for having an affair with the prince, making Lin Shaoshu mistakenly believe that he could use the prince's evidence to his advantage. However, Lin Shaoshu himself did not expect that he would be tricked by Ye Jin."

Xiao Xuetang sneered. In the face of absolute interests, the so-called friendship is not important at all.

Tianshu was surprised and asked, "What? You mean Ye Jin betrayed the Third Prince?"

Xiao Xuetang sneered: "It's not a betrayal. Ye Jin has always been best at seeking benefits and avoiding harm."

"No matter how promising Lin Shaoshu may be in the future, the Queen still holds the power in Kyoto now, and it is the Queen who decides Ye Jin's life, death, honor and disgrace. The Queen became suspicious of Ye Jin during the family recognition banquet, and in order to gain the Queen's trust, Ye Jin can't wait to make achievements in front of the Queen."

Xiao Xuetang had fought with Ye Jin for two lifetimes and knew Ye Jin's character well. He guessed Ye Jin's conspiracy plan in an instant.

"So, she planned the trip to Huguo Temple just to destroy me completely. At the same time, if Ye Jin's plan to replace the original with the fake one succeeds today, she can first plant spies around the prince, and secondly deepen the conflict between the prince and Lin Shaoshu. It can be said that she kills three birds with one stone!"

but……

"Ye Jin, I won't let you get what you want. Everyone who participated in the plan today will pay the price!"

There was a sharp chill in Xiao Xuetang's eyes, and a sharpness between her brows that was inconsistent with her age.

Lin Xun watched quietly, and finally spoke after a moment: "Whatever you want to do, I will help you..."
