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

Xu Mingyue got caught in the rain on the way back to Beijing, and her body, which was usually healthy, still developed a high fever. It was considered a minor illness.

Due to physical illness, Xu Mingyue and Xie Qingyao returned to Beijing with the coffin two full days later than scheduled.

The plain white paper money guided the way forward for the coffin. Whether it was the Xu family members who came to the city gate to take Xu Mingqing's coffin home, or Xu Mingyue and Xie Qingyao who returned with the coffin, they had all put on mourning clothes at this time.

Old Liu, who had been dragged forward by a thousand-mile horse for several days, but whose life was suspended by Xu Mingyue's medicine before entering the city, was still wearing his original clothes and kneeling beside the coffin, standing out among the plain white.

However, the fact that Xu Mingqing died mysteriously on the way back to Beijing while he was trying to find out the cause of death of the late emperor and empress, and that all the evidence needed to investigate the case was lost, had already spread throughout every county in the Dayu Dynasty.

"Master Xu is such a good official with a bright future. Who is so cruel that he must be killed?"

"Looking at this scene, I remembered that when the late emperor was in power, Zhen Guo Gong's father and mother died in battle. The two coffins were also like this, and Zhen Guo Gong personally dragged them back."

"I lost my parents when I was young, and now I am suffering from the white-haired man giving away the black-haired man. God is so cruel to the Duke of Zhen."

"I don't think it's God who is cruel, but the people above the throne who are cruel."

"Master Xu is dead. Those officials involved in the death of the late emperor and empress all died mysteriously after Master Xu investigated the case. Where do so many coincidences come from?"

"Alas, the wise king is so pitiful. There is no one in this world who can avenge his dead parents."

"Besides that person, who else can directly assassinate Mr. Xu in this clear world?"

"Use Mr. Xu's wisdom to find all the people who know the truth, and then kill them all. This is not investigating the case, this is clearly destroying the corpses and eradicating traces."

"The former emperor and empress were killed by the current emperor."

"My arms can't twist my thighs. Is it possible that the Duke of Zhenguo and the wise king really have no choice but to swallow all these grievances?"

Su Bai's tragedy is before his eyes. The family that guarded the mountains and rivers in the past, the young minister with a promising future, and the late emperor and prince who lost his parents at a young age and had nowhere to redress his grievances are enough to make the onlookers full of pity.

"Avenge the grievances of the late emperor and empress, and avenge the grievances of Mr. Xu."

Amid the outcry of grievances from the people in the capital, Xu Mingqing's coffin was carried into the mourning hall of the Zhenguo Palace.

Lin Yan, supported by Xu Jian and Xu Minglang, walked step by step to the coffin.

When he saw the body lying in the coffin, Lin Yan held back tears for several days, and finally fell like rain.

Xu Jian withdrew his gaze from the corpse and held the crying Lin Yan tightly in his arms.

Crying uncontrollably, Xu Jian carried Lin Yan directly towards the bedroom, regardless of the public.

Xu Mingyue cast her admonishing gaze on Xie Qingyao, and hurriedly followed Xu Minglang as her parents left.

The family entered the bedroom in the main courtyard. Xu Mingyue knelt on the ground and held Lin Yan's hand tightly.

While crying, her eyes were full of happiness: "Auntie, I touched it, but there is no peace charm."

Before Xu Mingyue left Beijing at the age of six, Lin Yan personally prayed for the peace charm for the four sons of the family, and they kept it close to their bodies every day.

If you can't touch the peace charm, it means that the body now is not Xu Mingqing.

The person holding her hand to touch the body was Xie Qingyao, which proved that this plan was Xu Mingqing's way of escape.

Lin Yan's peach blossom eyes filled with tears were stained with a smile.

He raised his hand and touched Xu Mingyue's head, with apology in his eyes.

Under such a situation, her family's heartbreak must be more intense than theirs.

As a parent who failed to support Xu Mingyue under such circumstances, Lin Yan felt that he was derelict in his duty.

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly and cried. Lin Yan whispered the conclusion in his heart gently into Xu Mingyue's ear.

"Both grandma and daddy know."

Even though their eldest son was missing his head, they could still recognize him just by looking at his body shape.

But from the moment the news of the death came out, all of them had to remember that the person lying there was Xu Mingqing.

The posture each of them poses must reflect the grief of losing a loved one.

Although the truth behind the death of the late emperor and empress remains unresolved, everyone in the Dayu Dynasty already knows it.

The public's resentment and suspicion have arisen. Taking advantage of this opportunity to soar in the future will make Xie Qingyao's path of rebellion justifiable.

The old friend's grievances have been settled, and the next step is to collect debts.

On the second night after Xu Mingqing's coffin was carried back to the capital, Old Liu, under the cover of Xie Chongan, took advantage of the busy situation inside and outside the Zhenguo Palace and secretly got out of the Zhenguo Palace through the dog hole.

The moment he got on the carriage that came to pick him up, Old Liu, who had survived the disaster, slumped on the carriage and breathed hard.

His more than ten years of undercover career, the days of being frightened day after day, were finally coming to an end.

The trustworthy doctor was bandaging Lao Liu's wound. After looking at it for a while, Xiaoban suddenly became willing to chat with Lao Liu for a few words.

Putting the porcelain cup filled with herbal tea in Lao Liu's hand, Xiao Banzi asked:

"Old Liu, it's true that you broke your voice while trying to save Duke Zhen on the battlefield. Why did you choose to change your master later?"

After all, betraying one's master is not something that can be done on the stage. The smile at the corner of Lao Liu's mouth was a little dry.

He didn't want to answer, but Xiaobanzi was the most trusted person around Xie Chongan. In order not to offend Xiaobanzi, he lost his life. After thinking about it, Old Liu stained his hands with tea and wrote "Save Xiaoqi" on the wooden board. .

Such an answer was a bit boring, so Xiao Banzi had no intention of asking again.

Over the years of staying with Xie Chongan, Xiaobanzi has heard all kinds of reasons and seen all kinds of last resorts.

But in the final analysis, aren't they all hurting those unrelated people for their own selfish desires?

Human beings are the most greedy and vicious things in this world.

But his little board is different, he was born without a heart.

The carriage entered the East Palace smoothly. Xiao Banzi arranged for two young eunuchs to take Lao Liu down first to change his clothes, and then he entered the study alone.

"Your Highness, after seeing the people in the coffin, the princess not only hurt the wise king, but also rarely hurt others."

"Damage?" Xie Chongan's voice revealed a hint of playfulness: "These individuals failed to protect their master, and they should have died to apologize for their sins. How can they cause trouble?"

"But with Xu Mingyue's temperament to act like this, it seems that it is really hurting."

Xie Chongan's brows furrowed unknowingly: "Those investigation notes and case-judgment documents have been destroyed, but where is Xu Mingqing's head?"

The small board came to Xie Chongan's side: "The secret guard came to report that General Zheng happened to be resting there before Xu Mingqing died. Therefore, in addition to Lao Liu, General Zheng and his party also witnessed Xu Mingqing's death."

"Look, do you want to get rid of General Zheng as well?"
