After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Yan Yu used a rattle to amuse the young master. The young master's eyes sparkled and he giggled at Yan Yu.

After Xiao Chengji left, no news came for a while.

Yan Yu thought about him while slowly killing time. Anyway, the women in the backyard were basically all bored and kept taking care of their children, so the days passed one by one.

She heard that it was extremely cold in the north, and she didn't know if the thick clothes Xiao Chengji brought were enough.

Just as they coaxed the young master to sleep, Huo Ha received a message from outside.

It was so cold that snow was hanging on Huoha's eyebrows. Yan Yu glanced at Huo Wang and said, "Pour your godfather a cup of hot rice wine to warm him up."

Huo Ha drank the hot wine gratefully, and then said: "Yesterday, I saw the Seventh Prince and the Junior Official of the Dali Temple enter a restaurant, so I bribed the waiter to eavesdrop and heard that they were planning to plot against Master Shao."

Yan Yu asked, "Why? Giving money to my uncle to frame him for corruption? Or finding fault with him?"

"I am not a greedy person. I just came to the capital and I have not done anything wrong. I can only ruin my reputation." Huo Ha said, "The Seventh Prince asked the Junior Official of the Dali Temple to invite me to his home for dinner, get me drunk, and frame me for forcing his concubine to do things for him, otherwise the news would be spread."

Yan Yu sneered: "He only knows how to use these dirty tricks! This matter is aimed at me. If the prince was in Beijing, would this Shaoqing dare to frame my family? Huo Wang, send someone to the Shao Mansion to tell everyone in the family to be more careful."

When Huo Wang heard this, he hurried downstairs.

Yan Yu asked someone to bring some silver to Huo Ha: "Keep a close eye on him and the ministers. If there are any rumors about the prince, tell me as soon as possible. Be careful not to expose them."

Huo Ha nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will be careful."

Having been demoted by Xiao Chengji once, having suffered in hell, and now having returned to heaven, Huo Ha has become much more cautious.

Yan Yu thought about it for a while.

As soon as Xiao Chengji left, the thing Xiao Qirui wanted most now was definitely to take over Xiao Chengji's former job.

Other aspects are fine, but Xiao Qirui must not be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of War. Otherwise, if he makes some trouble, Xiao Chengji will be dead on the front line.

Yan Yu asked the maid to prepare paper and ink. She wrote a few letters and asked Huo Ha to take them to several adults, and also instructed Huo Ha on some things.

A few days later.

Yan Yu sat in Concubine Xia's palace for a while, then accompanied Xia to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and then they walked out together.

When the two came back, they happened to meet Prince Jin and the Seventh Prince.

Xiao Jingshuo came over with a smile on his face. Xiao Qiru was going to the Queen Mother, and his face looked a little ugly.

Yan Yu smiled and said, "What's wrong with Seventh Master? Are you unhappy?"

Xiao Jingshuo said: "Seventh Brother was reported and just got scolded by the Emperor, so of course he is unhappy."

Xiao Qirui sneered: "If I'm not happy, then Sixth Brother will be happy."

"Look at what you said." Xiao Jingshuo said, "Seeing you get humiliated, of course I feel relieved."

It turned out that after the crown prince left Beijing, rumors suddenly spread among the people that the seventh prince Xiao Qirui could replace the crown prince, and these rumors reached the emperor's ears.

It so happened that several ministers suggested today that the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War were short of people to take charge. Since the Seventh Prince has outstanding abilities, it would be better to let him fill the position temporarily.

The emperor became angry when he heard this.

He was not happy about Xiao Chengji going to war.

But the other emperor has already gone to the battlefield, and his morale is high as he prepares to march south.

The death of General Weiyuan made everyone in the Wei Dynasty army panic. In this situation, only the emperor or the crown prince of the Wei Dynasty could personally go into battle to stabilize the situation.

As the crown prince, Xiao Chengji did not shy away from his responsibilities and went through it regardless of the consequences.

But what about this side?

As soon as the prince left, Xiao Qirui spread the news among the people, saying that he could replace the prince.

It was not enough for him to spread these rumors among the people, he even brought them to the emperor, asking the ministers to recommend him to take over Xiao Chengji's job.

He started doing these little tricks before the emperor himself and the crown prince Xiao Chengji were dead yet.

To be honest, if Xiao Chengji could not come back, even if the emperor took the risk of external relatives interfering in politics, he would give the throne to Xiao Chengji's son and would never let Xiao Qirui get involved in it.

In front of all the ministers, the emperor scolded Xiao Qirui and accused him of being incompetent and unworthy of the responsibility.

Saying these words was equivalent to saying in front of all the ministers that he was incompetent and had no possibility of taking power.

Xiao Qirui was denied by the emperor again and again, and he was filled with hatred.

Now Xiao Jingshuo was rubbing salt into his wounds again. Xiao Qirui clenched his fists and looked at Xiao Jingshuo with an extremely sinister look.

Xia felt that Xiao Qirui's eyes were not right, so she quickly pulled Xiao Jingshuo away: "It's quite cold outside, let's go to the mother's palace to warm up, and just in time to see how the little stinky egg is doing."

Yan Yu had already visited Concubine Xia once and never went there again.

Xiao Qirui asked: "Third brother is gone, how is Third sister-in-law doing recently?"

Yan Yu smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come back. What can I do? I will just wait for him at home."

Xiao Qirui taunted, "I really envy my third brother. He has had a smooth life since he was a child. Even after he left his father, he was still protected like a treasure. Unlike me—"

"I don't want to hear your hypocritical words." Yan Yu interrupted Xiao Qirui with a smile, "Some people say they are pitiful every day, but the things they do are extremely hateful."

Xiao Qirui was angry and said: "You——"

Yan Yu smiled and said, "What? Am I wrong? You know, a truly pitiful person would never complain here for no reason. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, Master Qi should care about the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Aren't you on good terms with him? He was found to be harboring a criminal, and his house was raided this morning. The women in his family were sent to the music school, and the men were sent to the frontier to do hard labor. This is truly pitiful."

Xiao Qirui was furious with her: "You asked someone to keep an eye on me?"

"I just want to tell you that no matter whether it's Xiao Chengji or the Shao family, everything under my nose is not something you can touch. You'd better behave yourself." Yan Yu stepped forward and said coldly, "Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."

Xiao Qirui pushed Yan Yu away: "Bitch!"

Yan Yu screamed and fell into the maid's arms: "Help! The Seventh Prince wants to fight me!"

Several maids quickly supported Yan Yu, and several palace maids and eunuchs passing by heard the cries for help and swarmed over.

Xiao Qirui realized at this moment that Yan Yu's words were meant to provoke him. His expression suddenly changed: "Third sister-in-law, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. How are you?"

Yan Yu's face turned pale, and he pretended to be calm as he held the maid's arm: "I want to see the emperor."
