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

Xu Mingqing didn't care about Sun Yicheng's anger and continued:

"Master Sun, Xiaguan has been here in Nanjun for eight years. You have worked with Xiaguan for so long, and you should know that Xiaguan never fights an unprepared battle."

"If this money is not available within half a month, I would not mind reporting all the movements of your palace's money to the emperor."

No one's account books can withstand inspection. Even people like Sun Yicheng who work for Xie Yan have to sneak in a few extra cents.

And once the gate of overtaking is opened, it can never be closed again.

Sun Yicheng was made red-faced by Xu Mingqing's threat. He angrily picked up the chess basket on the table and threw it at Xu Mingqing's face.

Huba broke through the door and kicked the chess basket away. All the chess pieces in the sky fell towards Sun Yicheng.

The sound of ping ping ping ping rang for a while before returning to silence.

Yun Danfeng dusted off her clothes lightly, Xu Mingqing turned around with a smile and softened her tone:

"The amount requested by Xiaguan is not much for Mr. Sun. I sincerely ask Mr. Sun to understand the difficulties that Xiaguan is facing now, considering that he has never made any mistakes in these years."

"I will go back to my residence first. I look forward to good news from Mr. Sun."

Ignoring Sun Yicheng's face that was livid with anger, Xu Mingqing walked out of the room casually, and as expected saw a figure running away quickly.

Xu Mingqing stood there and called out calmly: "Old Liu, why are you here?"

When Lao Liu heard Xu Mingqing's voice, his steps stagnated. The hand hanging by his side tightened several times. After gathering his emotions, he walked to Xu Mingqing and pointed with one hand to the two pots of flowers placed at the door.

Huba looked in the direction that Lao Liu pointed and understood what Lao Liu meant: "Master, Lao Liu is a warm-hearted person. A new batch of flowers has arrived at the post station. It is estimated that the post station is short of manpower, so Lao Liu helped deliver them. Delivered."

Lao Liu gave Huba a friendly smile.

Xu Mingqing reminded softly: "Old Liu, you are my father's savior. I must protect you more."

"There have been many troubles recently. Don't approach your masters' rooms easily. If something happens, I won't be able to protect you."

Lao Liu nodded and knelt down in the direction Xu Mingqing left.

After a long time, it was so quiet that there was no sound anymore. Old Liu got up from the ground, turned around and walked in the other direction.

He had to tell Xie Chongan that what Xu Mingqing was holding was just evidence of Sun Yicheng's corruption.

Xu Mingqing's threat was just to get promoted and save his life, not to touch Xie Chongan's original fat.

Xie Chongan now only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits.

After leaving the inn, Xu Mingqing returned to his home in Deshui.

Approaching the study, Huba took out the sword blade from his waist with one hand, protected Xu Mingqing behind him with the other, and whispered in Xu Mingqing's ear:

"Master, the whole place has been blocked. I can't hear the exact number of people."

Xu Mingqing thought about the account book that fell from the sky and was delivered to Huba on the day Xu Mingyue fell ill, and she already had a plan in her mind about the person coming.

"I know that you are also guarding the door. If I don't go out, no one is allowed to enter."

Entering the study, Xu Mingqing locked the door behind her back.

Looking at the figure standing in front of the window, my heart was filled with all sorts of emotions.

Xie Qingyao was once the master that Xu Mingqing was determined to follow his whole life. He once had everything that far exceeded what the previous princes of the Dayu Dynasty could have.

The father and mother of the same family, the innate talent for governing the country, the childhood sweetheart, the fiancée who was born into a noble family, the only direct descendant of the Chen family in Lu County, and the only heir to the hearts of the Dayu Dynasty.

But in the blink of an eye, his father and mother were assassinated, he was poisoned and fell into a coma, and the subjects of the dynasty betrayed him. The dynasty changed its owner in the blink of an eye, and his people bowed to his father-killing enemy.

Xie Qingyao, who was burdened with a blood feud, could no longer become the young man with the most glamor in the capital.

They are not crazy, and they are not dragging this world to destruction. It is the great love and responsibility that Xie Yu and Chen Shu have in Xie Qingyao's heart, and they firmly suppress their hatred.

After a long silence, all emotions returned to calm, Xu Mingqing raised his hand and said, "I have met Your Highness."

Xie Qingyao turned around from the window, and his unconcealed face was revealed in front of Xu Mingqing.

The two looked at each other, Xu Mingqing shook his head and smiled, a little helpless.

Xie Qingyao really lived up to the expectations of his family when he was young, and gave birth to such an appearance that is unmatched and inviolable by men in the world.

Suddenly I remembered the story books that Yaoyao of his family occasionally looked through, and those male protagonists all looked like flowers on the high mountain.

Obviously, Xie Qingyao was born in the heart of his family.

Instead of sitting in the study room reserved by Xu Mingqing, Xie Qingyao walked to Xu Mingqing's side and sat on an equal footing with Xu Mingqing.

Xie Qingyao came today with a cooperative attitude.

Xu Mingqing sat down beside Xie Qingyao, raised his hand to pour a cup of warm tea for Xie Qingyao, and asked, "Your Highness, what do you want when you come to my place tonight?"

Xie Qingyao took out the account book of Nanjun Salt and Iron Bureau and put it in Xu Mingqing's hand. He had no intention of opening it. He was waiting for Xu Mingqing to open it in person.

Xu Mingqing held the account book down with one hand and had no intention of opening it now.

The importance of the account books that need to be handed over by Xie Qingyao in person is self-evident.

If he sees and knows something, it means that he must take the lead.

Without knowing the chips, Xu Mingqing naturally couldn't act rashly.

One corner of Xie Qingyao's mouth curled up briefly, and then he said fleetingly: "Ming Qing has become more cautious in recent years."

"Haha." Xu Mingqing actually laughed out loud: "There is a rare treasure in my family that everyone covets, and I can't afford to lose."

In a few words, pushing and rejecting, they understood each other's trump cards.

The foundation of their cooperation no longer lies in the cooperation itself, but in Xu Mingyue.

"Ming Qing, your Xu family retreated bravely eight years ago, saving Gu's life and giving him eight years of breathing space."

"I know why you have been planning in Nanjun for eight years. I also know what kind of mission Minghuai has to undertake. I also know what the caravan in Minglang's hands is doing."

"When I appear here, it is self-evident that I want to take this path and am already taking it."

"I don't need your Xu family to bow down to me. I will be the king alongside you, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, and become the twin saints of the Dayu Dynasty."

"Your Highness has the support of the Chen family of Lu County inside, the Shi'an Pavilion outside who controls the world's intelligence, and the personal bodyguards left by the late emperor and empress to protect you. Once the truth is revealed, the hearts of the people of this world will naturally belong to your highness. Your highness does not need to communicate with you." I, the Xu family, live in mountains and rivers."

Xu Mingqing's hand on the account book was slightly curled up. In the past eight years, Xie Qingyao, like everyone else in the Xu family, had been moving forward secretly.

There is no way in today's world. To protect Yaonv, the Xu family had to embark on a path that goes against heaven. In order to protect herself, Xu Mingyue had to embark on a path that goes against worldly prejudices.

They have to.

Women occasionally participated in politics, but there was never a case where women and men became emperors side by side.

There was no need for Xie Qingyao to make such a shocking promise.

And in the process of seeking imperial power, the promises from the superiors were not worth mentioning compared with the actual benefits.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and Xu Mingqing cannot put everything on Xie Qingyao's sincerity for Xu Mingyue.

The cooperation between the Xu family and Xie Qingyao must be based on their equal strength.
