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

Because he no longer expected family affection, Xie Chongan suddenly no longer feared the holy wrath.

He lowered his head slowly and explained calmly: "Father, if the master knows Xu Mingyue's true identity during the battle, he will hold on to it even more."

"No matter how noble my royal family is, if we want to become enemies of this world's famous families, this country may not be able to stand firm."

"What's more, all Xie Qingyao wants is to find out the cause of the death of the late emperor and empress. It's not difficult to fabricate some justice at will and find an opportunity to kill him in the future."

Zhao Ying raised her hand to cheer for Xie Yanshun: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Once the country is secure, there is no reason to give it back."

"Even though Xie Qingyao's cultivation is astonishing today, his symptoms of vomiting blood after killing someone are like a flashback. You might as well wait and see."

"Maybe this coma lasted for eighteen years?"

Released the hand that locked Xie Chongan's neck, Xie Yan's fierce eyes locked on the two sons in front of him:

"The earlier the East Palace is established, the more stable my empire will be."

"Although Chong'an's Deshui disaster relief has achieved good results, Nanjun has lost two key ministers in a row, and the imperial doctor they brought there has made trouble again. At best, the merits are offset by the faults."

"Even though Yu'er was biased this time, she has never made a big mistake in the past. Just don't be so impatient in the future."

"I have always been fair to you brothers. You two brothers are equally capable, and you are both the legitimate sons of the middle palace. Now that I have the position of the East Palace, I will give the position of crown prince to whomever God's will notices."

Xie Chongyu knelt down respectfully, his bright eyes shining with the purity unique to a young man: "Thank you, father, for your kindness. I will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness."

After Xie Chongan knelt down, his head was lowered and he didn't say a word.

After sending Xie Yan and Zhao Ying back to the palace, Xie Chongan and Xie Chongyu parted ways.

Xie Chongyu planned to stay in the palace during this period, in order to coax Xie Yan and Zhao Ying to get along well, and to wrap up the things done in the palace to avoid endless troubles.

Xie Chongan turned around and left the palace.

The streets of the capital were deserted late at night, and the moonlight illuminated the road ahead clearly. Xie Chongan galloped wildly on the streets of the capital.

Today's two slaps and a chokehold made Xie Chongan see through many things.

Over the years, the salt and iron transactions have only passed through his hands. Xie Chongyu didn't even know about it, let alone touch it.

In the year when Xie Chongan was born, Xie Yan was entrusted with Wu'an County and left the prosperous imperial city for the desolate border.

The late emperor handed over the boundaries of the Dayu Dynasty to Xie Yan, but Xie Yan could not bear the loneliness.

He saw all the unhappiness Xie Yan had suffered in the past. Now that Xie Yan's throne was stable and he was used to being a clean person, he began to want to blame all the sins on Xie Chongan.

The value of Xie Chongan's existence has become to inherit all Xie Yan's malice.

The position of the East Palace, the future throne, was reserved by Xie Yan to Xie Chongyu from the beginning.

The horse riding under him was driven deeper into the alley without anyone driving it.

Passing by a place and entering the house, Xie Chongan suddenly tightened the reins.

Now that it was past midnight, the house was still brightly lit.

Through the hollow stone window of the courtyard wall, Xie Qingyao saw a woman standing under the moonlight, her hands and feet moving swiftly between the dye vats, drying the dyed cloth.

The neighing of the horses alerted the woman who was dyeing cloth in the courtyard. The woman slowly looked back with caution and saw clearly the man sitting on the horse through the window.

After blinking her eyes repeatedly, after confirming that the person coming was Xie Chongan, the guard in Liu Fei's eyes dissipated.

Wash your hands with clean water, turn around, open the courtyard door, and face Xie Chongan.

Since entering the capital, Xie Chongan has never looked for Liu Fei, but he has never been short of Liu Fei's daily expenses.

Xie Chongan's emotions towards Liu Fei were somewhat complicated. Whenever he thought of Liu Fei, he would think of the bitter consequences of Deshui's carelessness.

It may be that Xie Chongan has already suffered the consequences of the Deshui incident today.

It is also possible that Xie Chongan and Xu Mingyue reached a private agreement, which gave him an additional understanding of the value of the De Shui incident.

So when he saw Liu Fei today, those frustrations disappeared without a trace.

"It's so late, why does King Cheng come to Minnu?"

After striding into the courtyard and looking at the cloths hanging to dry, Xie Chongan asked, "Why are you still up so late?"

Liu Fei pointed at these dyed cloths and said with a smile: "The folk girl has been walking around the capital for a long time. She found that the pattern and feel of the capital's cloth are quite different from those in Nanjun, so the folk girl wanted to do some business on her own."

Xie Chongan raised his hand and pinched a handful of the dried cloth. It was indeed soft and unparalleled in the capital.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Fei wiping the sweat off her face with a handkerchief. Xie Chongan felt that this scene was a bit vivid: "Didn't Xiaoban give you some silver?"

After leading Xie Chongan to sit down in the room and making him a cup of tea, Liu Fei slowly said: "It is better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. The only people you can rely on in this world are yourself and your own abilities."

The cool chrysanthemum tea was extremely refreshing. Xie Chongan drank the tea in two gulps, and Liu Fei silently refilled the cup for Xie Chongan.

The evening breeze is quiet, and the house is even quieter.

The heat in his heart was slowly suppressed, and Xie Chongan asked: "You have been in the capital for so long, are you still used to it?"

Liu Fei was fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan in her hand. Liu Fei, who had not spoken to anyone for a long time, seemed to have opened up her chat box because of Xie Chongan's question.

She regards Xie Chongan as the only person in the capital who she can talk to.

"Folk women are like dandelion seeds, they can adapt wherever they fall."

"When we were in Deshui, the women thought they were going to die. Now that they have survived, they naturally cannot live up to their fate."

"Maybe a civilian girl can earn more money than Deshui in this capital."

"Look, the girl lost the shop she got from her father. But if the girl has the ability, she can open a bigger shop by herself."

After talking on the phone for a long time, Liu Fei's eyes showed a little embarrassment when he saw that Xie Chongan had not spoken for a long time:

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the girl hasn't talked to anyone for a long time. I'm afraid I may have disturbed you."

Xie Chongan jumped to the topic again: "Miss Liu, I remember that you once had a cousin."

"Yeah." Liu Fei nodded obediently.

"If your father throws out a steamed bun and directly says that whoever picks up the steamed bun will get this shop, what will Miss Liu do?"

The cattail leaf fan gently flicked the hanging green hair, Liu Fei turned her head and thought for a moment: "How can I outrun my cousin as a woman? My father said so, that is because I am not ready to give the shop to me."

"Of course the girl won't rob the steamed buns, but the girl is not a good person. What the girl can't get, she can't let her cousin get it."

"The more they don't care about the women of the people, the more the women of the people have to treat themselves well."

"Those who cannot kill the people's daughters will only make the people's daughters stronger and stronger, such as the plague in Deshui, and the people's daughters who saved their lives from His Highness."

Liu Fei used her own experience to give Xie Chongan a glimpse of another world beyond the dark clouds.

Looking sideways at Liu Fei, who was speaking of her ambitions in gentle words under the light, Xie Chongan inexplicably felt that this beautiful woman was extremely beautiful and moving at this moment.

It even surpassed the look of Xu Mingyue he saw today.

The candlelight was swaying in the late summer wind. Xie Chongan stood up from the stool and looked at Liu Fei with naked and fiery eyes.

Looking into each other's eyes, Liu Fei slowly lowered her head. The curvature of the corners of her mouth, reflected by the candlelight, showed her attitude at the moment.

He walked up to Liu Fei in two consecutive steps, picked him up by the waist, and walked toward the bedroom with an impatient pace.

Not long after, the soft sounds in the house suppressed the croaking frogs in the pond behind the house, composing another rhythm that was even more disturbing.
