After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Seeing a letter that appeared out of thin air on the bed, Emperor Xiao immediately looked around vigilantly, making sure there was no one else before he stepped forward.

Just as he was about to reach out to pick up the letter, Emperor Xiao suddenly paused again.

Looking at the envelope, Emperor Xiao suspected that it was poisonous, so he took back his hand and passed Eunuch Zheng in again.

"Take it apart and take a look."

When Eunuch Zheng saw the extra letter on the bed, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and followed Emperor Xiao's order and stepped forward to open the letter.

Eunuch Zheng lowered his head and respectfully held up the letter and placed it in front of Emperor Xiao.

After seeing the content above clearly, Emperor Xiao's expression suddenly changed.

"Damn, it happened again."

There was only one sentence written in the letter: If the old friend's son is touched again, the truth will be revealed to the world immediately.

Eunuch Zheng glanced at the letter carefully, and then his expression turned ugly. He asked Emperor Xiao, "Your Majesty, is this letter..."

"Of course it's the secret person who has been lingering for so many years!" Emperor Xiao gritted his teeth and took the letter from Eunuch Zheng's hand, his eyes full of hatred and anger, "There has been no news for so many years, and now he appears again, look. He has been hiding beside me for these years!"

Damn it, who is it?

If he is allowed to find out, he must crush the opponent to ashes!

Eunuch Zheng lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. No matter who the secret person is, you must pay more attention to the dragon body. You must not..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Xiao interrupted him directly, "I don't want to hear such nonsense anymore."

His eyes fell on Eunuch Zheng, and Emperor Xiao calmed down his anger slightly, "You have been by my side for so many years, and I have never hidden from you what happened back then. Now, there are some things that I can only leave to you."

"Please give me your Majesty's instructions. Even if my servant is cut into a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, and my heart and mind are shattered, I will do my best." Eunuch Zheng knelt down quickly and responded.

"Since you can place this believer in my palace without knowing it, it means that that person must have a good status. I want you to find him at all costs!"

"Yes, I obey." Eunuch Zheng nodded solemnly.

After getting up, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked Emperor Xiao: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to continue the attack?"

This letter makes it very clear that if we continue to attack His Royal Highness, the person in the dark might actually...

Emperor Xiao looked coldly at the crumpled letter in his hand, and after a while he said: "It's not necessary for the time being. Let me withdraw it and wait for the birthday banquet."

Since we can't touch Xiao Jinzhi now, we might as well catch them all at the birthday banquet!

As for the man in the dark, no matter what the cost in these days, he must be found.

……

With the birthday banquet just a few days away, Emperor Xiao withdrew his queen. Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan understood that the letter they had managed to put into the palace had played a role.

At the morning court, two days before the birthday banquet, Liu Changhan also followed Xiao Jinzhi's instructions and publicly demanded Xiao Rongxuan's immediate execution.

Emperor Xiao naturally did not agree. Coupled with the official's proposal and Liu Changhan's insistence, everything went as Xiao Jinzhi expected. Emperor Xiao was angered and ordered Xiao Rongxuan to attend the birthday banquet in public.

When the news came back to the Prince's Mansion, Chu Huanyan asked someone to find out the reactions of the courtiers.

Although the decree had been made and the Holy Heart could not disobey it, many courtiers were dissatisfied that the prince who had made such a big mistake could still attend the birthday banquet, and secretly discussed Emperor Xiao's decision.

"Your Highness, if the emperor knew, his decision would provoke opposition from so many courtiers, and he would lose the heart of the courtiers. I wonder if he would regret it." Qin Li's tone was somewhat relaxed.

There have been fewer assassinations in the past few days. Although I still have to tighten the string, I feel relieved in my heart.

Xiao Jinzhi shook his head and said, "It's just an unfair decision, and it won't make him completely lose his heart as a courtier."

Although most of this decision was made in anger, Emperor Xiao naturally considered the consequences and still chose to do it. In the final analysis, it was because he knew very well that the injustice this time would not really affect the overall situation.

"Of course not now. When the truth of that year is made public, it will be the time when people really lose their hearts." Chu Huanyan walked over from the other side.

Today she wore a crimson embroidered long skirt, paired with a hairpin of the same color, and a thin layer of powder and pink, which made people's eyes bright.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at her intently, "Yan Yan is leaving the house?"

Chu Huanyan nodded, "I want to go to the palace."

Xiao Jinzhi frowned, "Entering the palace at this time, Concubine Xue?"

"Yes, when you went to the morning court, someone from the palace sent a message saying that Concubine Xue said she hadn't seen her for a long time, so she specially ordered me to come to the palace."

Although it is not a good time to enter the palace at this juncture, since Concubine Xue has already sent word, it is not a bad idea to go there.

"No." Xiao Jinzhi denied simply, "It is too dangerous to enter the palace at this time. What if Emperor Xiao..."

"Now that he has withdrawn his men, there is a high probability that he will not make any further moves before the birthday banquet. What's more, the person he really wants to deal with is you. As long as you are still outside the palace, he cannot kill me to anger you. As for using me as a bargaining chip to threaten you..."

Chu Huanyan paused slightly, looked at Xiao Jinzhi and smiled.

"Emperor Xiao is suspicious. The more openly I enter the palace at this time, the more he will think that we are on guard. He may even think that this is just a trap, so he will not dare to take action."

From Emperor Xiao's point of view, Xiao Jinzhi would never allow himself to risk entering the palace at this time, so in this case, it was actually safe.

"Must you go?" Xiao Jinzhi frowned.

He understood that what Yan Yan said did make sense, but he still felt uneasy.

Chu Huanyan smiled and nodded, "My dress has been changed, not to mention that Concubine Xue has also responded."

Seeing Chu Huanyan's persistence, Xiao Jinzhi did not object anymore, "Okay, then I will personally send you to the palace."

"No, just ask Qin Li to drive with him." Chu Huanyan shook her head and said calmly, "The decree that Xiao Rongxuan can attend the birthday banquet has just been made today. If I am not wrong, there may be some courtiers visiting. At this time, you should not It's good to leave. And..."

"Xiao Rongxuan will be taken from the prison to the palace today. I have made arrangements and there will be people in the palace to monitor him." Xiao Jinzhi took Chu Huanyan's words clearly and spoke.

In the morning meeting, in addition to attending the birthday banquet, Emperor Xiao also specially ordered that Xiao Rongxuan be placed under house arrest in the palace for two days.

Counting the time, I'm afraid I'm already in the imperial study room now.
