Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Zhang Yuyan made trouble twice again after being slapped hard by Su Xuan that day. After being taught a lesson, she became obedient and dared not disobey Su Xuan again. If she wanted to survive, she had to learn to flatter him and serve him without dignity like the other maids in his yard.

Although she had no dignity, at least they all called her Madam, and she didn't have to work like a maid.

On this day, heavy snow fell outside. She had never seen such heavy snow when she was in Shengjing. When she left Shengjing, her mother packed three carts full of dowry for her and also prepared enough clothes for her to wear during the winter.

At this moment, she could only miss her home in Shengjing and her mother.

She didn't expect that General Su had many wives and concubines, some of whom were even about her age.

Looking at the pairs of resentful and depressed eyes in the mansion, fear and timidity filled Zhang Yuyan's heart. She became more and more cautious, and even dared not to ask Su Xuan to hold a wedding with her. She felt that they called her Madam, but she became his concubine for no reason, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

She also secretly inquired about it. It turned out that Su Xuan had married two wives, both of whom died. Everyone said that they died of illness and that they were unlucky. However, Zhang Yuyan didn't think that was the case, and she didn't dare to guess.

Suddenly, Su Xuan came back with his men. They were going from the direction of the study. Zhang Yuyan thought he was sneaky and in a hurry, so she followed them quietly.

Su Xuan knew that no one in the entire Su Mansion dared to disobey, so he just heard him ask, "How is the matter going?"

"Duke Zhang and Madam Zhang were both burned to death. Madam Zhang II admitted that she was the one who set the fire, and she also died. However, Master Ji was arrested and is now in jail."

Su Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "There's no point in keeping that idiot. I saved him because my grandmother said he was still useful. It's just right to use him to take the blame..."

At this moment, there was a ding-dong sound outside the window. Zhang Yuyan was so frightened by the news that her mother had died that she dropped the heater in her hand.

When Su Xuan came out, he saw her standing outside the window in a daze. Seeing her eavesdropping outside, a stern look flashed in his eyes and he grabbed her neck, his eyes full of vigilance, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here? Didn't this general warn you not to leave the yard?"

If it weren't for her good looks, he would have sent her there long ago.

Tears rolled down Zhang Yuyan's eyes. "General, what did you say happened to my mother? Did you say she was dead?"

Su Xuan let go of his hand and said in a deep voice, "The news from Shengjing is that Madam Zhang II set fire to your grandparents and then committed suicide out of fear of the crime."

Zhang Yuyan's body softened and she almost fainted. Before the maid could help her, Su Xuan hugged her waist and said, "Yan'er." The women raised in Shengjing are different from those in the border areas. Their skin is soft and delicate.

"I want to go see my mother, wuwu... How could she die? No way, she was fine when she sent me to get married, how could she die?" Zhang Yuyan cried breathlessly, her face flushed red like a pear blossom in the rain.

"I just received the news that something happened to the Zhang family. Don't worry, I will send someone to check it out." Su Xuan pretended to be considerate.

Zhang Yuyan didn't react to his change for a while. He had slapped her angrily a few days ago, but now...

Zhang Yuyan is not a naive person. The nanny who followed her to the border has taught her not to be so petty. This is not Shengjing. She should learn to control her temper and go along with him. Maybe he will treat her like the maids and not be so rude to her.

She took the opportunity to say, "General, I want to go home and see my mother." She just wanted to escape.

Suddenly, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Su Xuan's face. "This place is thousands of miles away from Shengjing, and the road is blocked by heavy snow. There is also a war going on at the border. It's a chaotic situation. How are you going to get back?"

"But my mother..."

"I will ask the Su family to visit the Zhang Mansion. You just stay here and don't go anywhere." His tone left no room for doubt, and he did not allow her to resist.

Aunt Xu was waiting on the side and hurried to comfort her, "Madam, please accept my condolences. Your son-in-law will definitely be able to handle the matter properly."

Nanny Xu was the trusted nanny sent by Madam Zhang II to be by Zhang Yuyan's side. Ever since they came to the border and lived in the Su Mansion, they also felt unwell all over.

He slept with the young lady without even getting married, which was completely unruly. They were angry but could not say anything. After all, it was Old Madam Su who proposed the marriage to the Zhang family herself. In name, the young lady was still his wife. It would not be wrong for them to call her Madam. Anyway, everyone in the Su family called her Madam.

Zhang Yuyan listened to the advice and sobbed, "General, please help Yan'er. My mother must have been wronged."

"Don't worry!" Su Xuan asked someone to send her back to his bedroom.

Just waiting for Zhang Yuyan to leave, Su Xuan clenched his fists. Jiang Fenghua was really that difficult to deal with. By now, the affairs of the Zhang family should have reached Prince Heng's ears!

Since Xie Shang arrived at the border, he has lived directly in the military camp. He didn't expect that King Heng would bring so many of his own people with him.

Jiang Jinyan is not a person who is easy to deal with either. He is on guard at all times and is very much trusted by Xie Shang.

"General, I found someone sneaking around the Su Mansion. I don't know who he is. I have been trying to catch him, but he is too cunning."

Su Xuan said, "Prince Heng is at the border now, so let the Su family behave themselves."

In fact, the reason why he returned to Shengjing was because the court revealed that someone was investigating the Su family and had found out some things.

But after he returned, he met the emperor again, but the emperor did not mention this matter. It seemed like he had received the wrong message.

The matter was left unresolved, and this time Prince Heng brought his confidants with him, which made him even more confused.

Could it be that Prince Heng has begun to be wary of the Su family?

The Hu tribe king Huyan Shura was determined to seek revenge on Xie Shang. It was he who killed his own brother ten years ago, so this battle was inevitable.

"You guys keep an eye on it. I'm going back to the barracks first." Su Xuan only came back occasionally.

-

In the military camp, bad weather prevented the army from marching. The heavier the snow fell, the more unfavorable it was for the Zhou Dynasty.

Su Xuan walked in wearing armor, "Your Majesty."

Xie Shang glanced at him, then looked at the sand table in front of him, "Here it comes."

Then he added, "General Su, come and see which way the enemy is most likely to attack if they want to launch a surprise attack."

Su Xuan pointed to a road, "Here, West Gate, but it's snowing heavily outside. Even the strong Hu people can't stand fighting in such weather. According to the spies, the Hu people have already set up camp. They probably don't plan to attack so soon due to the weather."

Xie Shang raised a faint smile, his eyes were like torches, and his eyes were full of majesty and domineering, "I don't think so. If he wants to attack, he will overcome all difficulties to attack. No matter which way he chooses, it is impossible to attack Xiguan. According to the information I have received, attacking Xiguan is just a trick of Huyan Xiuluo."
