Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

"Help, help, save me."

Panic dominated all his thoughts, and Li Lan'er began to desperately call for help, but the palace servants left by Li Lan'er at the entrance of the tower were now gathering together and chatting.

The spring breeze blew more and more gently, blowing Li Laner's luxurious clothes to the extreme.

With the desperate situation approaching, Li Laner tried her best to wave her sleeves, trying to cling to the strong redwood.

The cloth strips were completely torn during the struggle. The water sleeve dance that once made Li Laner famous in the capital and allowed Li Laner to capture the emperor's heart was no match for the spring breeze and could not save her life.

Surprises were everywhere. The moment before she died, Li Laner saw Xie Yan running towards her, and also saw Xie Chongan who was as anxious as Xie Yan.

Finally, Li Laner, who was wrapped in water sleeves, hit the marble of the palace heavily.

In the extreme pain, Li Laner's life ended with an extremely bright red appearance.

Xie Chongan calmly watched the blood that was constantly overflowing from Li Laner's body, winding under his feet and staining the white soles of his boots.

Looking up at the torn cloth strip, he saw with his own eyes that the spy he had newly arranged to enter the palace had wiped out all evidence.

There is no sense of guilt. The revenge he promised to help Li Laner has been avenged.

But Xie Chongan still felt a little pity.

Li Lan'er, who was so attuned to Xie Yan's wishes, was dead. For a while, he really didn't know where to find a woman to drive a wedge between Zhao Ying and Xie Yan.

However, it is a pity that it is of no use.

When the news that Li Lan'er was arranged to enter the palace by him became known to others, Li Lan'er had no choice but to die.

Not only Li Lan'er is going to die, but also those who have trained Li Lan'er are going to die.

The day after Li Yanzhi and Li Laner both died in the palace, Xu Mingqing led his personal guards to raid the Yushi Zhongcheng Mansion.

When the mountains of silver and the concubine's servants as far as the eye could see were escorted out of the house, Li Yanzhi's charge of being a corrupt official was already confirmed.

It did not take much time and effort to verify that Li Yanzhi deserved his crime.

But since Li Yan's death, what has been brought to the table is not only Li Yanzhi's use of salt and iron smuggling to make huge profits, but also the clues related to the death of the late emperor and empress that have been repeatedly mentioned in the evidence.

An unknown newspaper was released at this time and circulated in the streets of the capital.

Under the control of people with intentions, all the people talking about were Sun Yicheng, Nanjun Yantiesi, Li Yanzhi, and the death of the late emperor and empress.

It just so happened that these people were all from Wu'an County.

What's more coincidental is that these people were all promoted from unknown officials to important ministers after Xie Yan came to the throne.

At that time, Wu'an County was the fiefdom of King Chen.

The truth that people want is ready to come out, but no one dares to put this truth in the open.

After several investigations, the secret guards sent out finally concluded that this was an order given by Li Yanzhi early on.

Whenever something happens to him, the news must be known to everyone.

All in all, Li Yanzhi has only one purpose.

If Li Yanzhi doesn't die well, then no one will have a good time.

When these conclusive news reached Xie Yan's ears, Xie Yan, who had already lost his favorite concubine, was so angry that he stopped going to court for three consecutive days.

Xie Yan suffered from insomnia due to Bingkong's empty embrace when he returned from his dream at midnight.

It was during these sleepless nights that Xie Yan thought clearly that people's hearts should not be tested repeatedly, and Li Yanzhi's affairs could be one and the other.

If it happens again, people all over the world will believe that the late emperor was killed by his biological brother Xie Yan.

We should start immediately to clear out the people on the salt-iron line.

It is urgent to suppress the current public sentiment.

Under the intensifying public opinion, notices dispatching Xu Mingqing to leave Beijing in three days to find out the cause of the death of the late emperor and empress were posted all over the streets of the capital.

The effect of this approach is excellent, but the voices of speculation can be firmly suppressed in just one day.

After all, everyone in the capital knows that Xu Mingqing, the eldest brother, loves his sister Xu Mingyue very much.

Aiwujiwu, if there is really evidence, Xu Mingqing, the uncle, will definitely ask for justice on behalf of his sister-in-law.

After dinner, Xie Qingyao not only did not leave the Zhenguo Palace immediately, but instead entered Qingfeng Pavilion with Xu Mingyue.

The two sat in front of the window and chatted for a while, then played a game of chess at Xu Mingyue's suggestion.

Xu Mingqing left Beijing this time and will most likely never return to Beijing again, so he has been busy these days without stopping for a moment.

When Xu Mingqing returned, it was already midnight. Looking at the two people who were still sitting in front of the window playing chess, Xu Mingqing reminded him: "Your Highness, it's so late, is it time to go back home?"

"Brother, don't rush him, we are waiting for Shu Bai to return."

While explaining, Xu Mingyue quietly took back the wrong chess piece, and placed the chess piece that Xie Qingyao had just dropped where she wanted him to drop it.

After hearing this, Xu Mingqing stopped urging and sat down directly under Xie Qingyao: "Qingyuan and Wangshu Tower are not enough for you two to worry about. Do you have to discuss things in my Qingfeng Pavilion?"

Xu Mingqing naturally knew the purpose of Xu Mingyue's actions today.

The night before he left Beijing, Xu Mingyue took Xie Qingyao to his place to discuss business matters, just to make his eldest brother feel at ease.

Where did it come from? Shu Bai didn't come back.

Xu Mingqing has not returned to the house tonight, and Shu Bai will never return.

There was a knock on the door. Xu Mingyue looked at the three people standing in front of her and nodded towards Youyu.

Youyu handed three substantial bags of silver to the hands of the three of them, and Xu Mingyue said with a smile:

"After the Lantern Festival, you have been running around all day. Maybe you haven't even had a sip of hot tea. Spring is here. This little money will be used as new clothes for you by me and your highness."

The faces of the three of them, whose faces were polished by the conspiracies outside, were instantly warmed by these thoughtful words and thoughtful money: "Thank you, Princess, thank you, Master."

Time was extremely tight, so Xu Mingyue took the lead in looking at Shu Bai and nodded slightly.

After Shu Bai bent down and cupped his hands, he said: "Zhao Muyun often puts on men's clothes and goes to Prince Rui's Mansion recently. Every time he leaves Prince Rui's Mansion, Prince Rui's mood gets much better."

After Shu Bai finished speaking, Wei Fulu took the initiative and said: "The old slave saw Xiao Fuzi using the medicine that the princess gave him before. He also mentioned it to the old slave and said that what the princess and Prince Rui are discussing now is How does Prince Rui win back the favor of the emperor and the queen?"

"In addition, the emperor and the queen have sent imperial doctors to see Prince Rui's legs in recent days. With Princess Cheng's consent, Prince Rui has now handed over a lot of power in the capital to Princess Cheng in order to get out of trouble as soon as possible."

Shu Huai: "King Cheng recruited many beauties from the south of the Yangtze River through his subordinates. After these beauties entered the capital, they would be taken to a house and trained by the nuns for ten and a half months. Only then will it be sent to Prince Rui’s Mansion through the eyes of Prince Rui’s Mansion.”

"I'm here to report today that the house has recently raised a number of women who came out of brothels and were infected with various diseases and were waiting to die."

"I estimate that this time of raising him should be the first time the emperor arranges for someone to visit Prince Rui."
