The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

Rong Sheng's plan was proceeding quietly step by step.

Compared with Mingyuexuan, the atmosphere in Longhetang was a bit awkward at the moment.

"what did you say?!"

Rong Jinben leaned comfortably in his chair, listening to Rong Dexin talking about what had happened in the past few days with a relaxed look on his face.

But when she heard that Rong Dexin was going to send her to the manor, her eyes widened instantly.

She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she stood up suddenly, her face confused and sad: "Father, I haven't had a good day since I married into the Jing'an Palace. Now I'm even suffering in prison. Why do you want to send your daughter to the farm to suffer now?!"

At this point, endless grievances surged into her heart. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was hoarse and low: "Besides, my daughter is pregnant, and winter is coming soon. Life on the farm must be even more miserable!"

"Don't worry, Jin'er. Your father is here to protect you."

"What does protection mean?" Rong Jin sobbed, still looking confused.

"Your father risked the destruction of our entire family to rescue you. The current Marquis' Mansion is different from the past. The surrounding areas are full of the Emperor's spies."

Rong Dexin was sweating profusely as he spoke, "If someone accidentally finds you in the mansion, the consequences will be disastrous..."

"So, what father meant was..." Rong Jin finally understood, and the tears on his face gradually dried up, "Let your daughter hide in the manor for a while?"

Seeing that Rong Jin understood, Rong Dexin said earnestly, "Your father will ask Rong Sheng to take care of everything for you, so that you can spend the winter safely. After the New Year is over next year, your mother should be able to come back, and the Marquis's Mansion will also get better. Your father promises to take you back home then."

"Father, was it really because of my uncle that my mother was taken to the Dali Temple?"

"Eighty percent of the time, yes. Although she married into the Marquis's mansion, she was once a member of the Lu family after all. It is a serious crime to embezzle the treasury silver. Your Majesty will definitely investigate it thoroughly."

"But would my mother really be involved in such a heinous crime?"

"It shouldn't happen. As long as she explains clearly in the Dali Temple and it's verified, she should be released. Don't worry, Jin'er."

Rong Dexin had a clear plan, but he didn't know that Lu Anfei's account book also had records of silver donated to the Lu family.

As luck would have it, Song Xuanlin had already come before the emperor with the private account and Miaoying.

"Xuanlin, you don't take good care of yourself at this hour, but suddenly come to see me, is there something important?"

The emperor had just finished his dinner when he heard Eunuch Gao say that Song Xuanlin had been waiting outside for a long time.

He was guessing in his mind, turning the white jade beads in his hand, while watching Song Xuanlin solemnly present a thick document to him.

"What is this?"

"Your Majesty, this is Lu Anfei's private account that I found in Xianghua Tower on West Street."

"Private account?"

The emperor was stunned and quickly picked up the account book and spread it out.

Reading ten lines at a glance is shocking.

Every single thing recorded on this paper is enough to make the emperor want to kill.

But after experiencing the smear campaign by General Xia, he did not dare to blindly listen to one side of the story, for fear of being involved in party disputes.

He suppressed the anger rising in his chest and asked sternly, "Xuan Lin, why is this private account in your hands?"

Song Xuanlin had expected the emperor to ask this question, so he calmly said, "When I left the Dali Temple, I happened to hear the wife of the Marquis of Rongguo confessing to embezzling government funds. I connected it to the Lu family case, so I secretly investigated and finally found Lu Anfei's secret agent hidden in Xianghua Tower."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yue brought Miao Ying in from outside.

"Father, this woman's name is Miaoying. She is a prostitute. Lu Anfei asked her to keep his private accounts so as to conceal his tracks."

When the emperor heard this, he was already half-believing it.

He gritted his teeth, and the fierceness in his eyes was fully revealed.

"Keep your head up!"

The emperor's cold order made Miaoying, who was kneeling on the ground, shiver.

Her shoulders trembled and she slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and tears about to burst out.

"Are you Lu Anfei's spy?"

Miaoying opened her mouth, but her throat was choked with fear and no sound came out.

"Father, please answer truthfully. If there is any injustice, Father will not tolerate it."

Song Xuanlin's calm voice floated over her head, but it was like the sound of a bell waking Miaoying up.

She wiped the tears that had already slid down her cheeks, and mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, I was born in poverty. Because of my mother's illness, I had no choice but to enter a brothel. Lord Lu threatened me with the lives of his family members and asked me to keep the account book. I am illiterate and don't know what is written on it."

"There are so many women with miserable lives in the brothel, why did they choose you?" The emperor stared at Miaoying's timid face with sharp eyes and asked in a stern voice.

"Because I have been pretending to be mute in order to avoid receiving customers, Lord Lu also noticed this. He thought that since I am mute, I will never tell anyone."

Song Xuanlin was listening at the side and was somewhat surprised by Miaoying's quick response.

He had never taught her these words, but she was able to fool him with just a few words. It was really not easy.

No wonder Lu Anfei chose her.

As expected, the emperor believed the evidence a little more.

He continued to look through the accounts, his eyes gradually turning red with anger.

"Humph, this prince is really capable!"

He suddenly raised his fist and slammed it hard on the table, and even the teacup was shaken to the ground and broke into two pieces.

"I have been so tolerant and kind to him, yet he still managed to collude with the enemy and frame loyal officials!"

"Eunuch Gao, where is the prince? Ask him to come see me immediately!"

Eunuch Gao hurriedly walked to the emperor's side and reminded him quietly: "Your Majesty, you forgot that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been confined to the East Palace by you."

"That's just right!"

He roared and suddenly stood up.

"Eunuch Gao, bring some people with you. I am going to the East Palace now!"

His chest rose and fell more violently, "I want to see if he is repentant!"
