Wealth and glory seek stability

But today Lin Yun was safe and sound and didn't cause any trouble for her, which was really rare.

At this time, Lin Yun had been imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion together with Xuanyuan Chaocheng.

Lin Yun knew that if he added more fuel to the fire at this time, Xuanyuan Chaocheng would definitely be deposed from the crown prince and imprisoned until his death, just like in his previous life.

Lin Yun escaped from the dog hole that he had dug long ago, and as expected, he ran into Xuanyuan Qiyuan who was preparing to go out for fun.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan was dressed in a purple dragon robe, with no servants by his side, and walked slowly along the tree-lined path.

The androgynous face had an evil smile that could throw thousands of girls off guard.

She didn't know whether this was fate or coincidence, but her revenge plan required Xuanyuan Qiyuan's participation from beginning to end.

Just like in her previous life, she told Xuanyuan Qiyuan the whole story, but the difference was that this time she was not in a hurry to reveal her cards.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan has a bad temper at heart. The more he cannot do something, the more he insists on doing it.

Lin Yun seized this weakness.

"If Your Highness is afraid of getting into trouble by saving me, then it's fine if you don't save me. I just ask Your Highness not to tell anyone that I escaped."

Xuanyuan Qiyuan knew that this was a trap set by Lin Yun, but he still fell into it. He wanted to see what tricks this guy had.

"No need. This prince is never afraid of trouble. Since Miss Lin is in trouble, this prince is willing to help."

Lin Yun added the stakes at the right time, "Your Highness Prince Jin, I know the prince's secret. With this secret, it will be easy to overthrow the prince."

Xuanyuan Qiyuan's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, and he grabbed Lin Yun's neck with one hand.

"Miss Lin, it's better not to be too smart."

Lin Yun felt that as the force on his neck contracted, the amount of air he inhaled into his nasal cavity became less and less. When he felt that he had reached the critical point of death, the memories of his past life gradually became clearer in his mind, playing in his mind like a kaleidoscope.

The resentment in his heart grew deeper, and Lin Yun burst out with a strong desire to survive.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan pulled his hand away at the last moment, and Lin Yun's legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, coughing violently.

"You want to kill me?" Xuanyuan Qiyuan took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, as if there was something dirty on them.

"Ahem, ahem, no, I just hate Concubine Shu. She lied to me for so long. If I die in vain like this, wouldn't that bitch benefit from it?"

"So how do you want revenge?"

"I want to be your highness's staff. If your highness ascends to the throne in the future, I want to be the prime minister!"

Xuanyuan Qiyuan sneered, "Just you?"

"Yes, just me."

Lin Yun showed no fear as she stared straight at Xuanyuan Qiyuan's beautiful face. It was this face that made her wait for so many years. Even if she lived again, she couldn't hate him.

In that case, she will be the one to sever the connection between the two personally.

She wanted all those who had fooled and bullied her to die in her hands.

Since I can't go back anyway, it might as well take a few more people with me to be buried with me.

When this thought popped up in Lin Yun's mind, he was shocked. He looked strong and calm. He must not show cowardice at this time.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan looked at Lin Yun's serious expression and felt that it did not seem fake. Having one more helper is always better than having one more enemy.

Besides, based on his understanding of Lin Yun, she was just a jealous woman and would not cause much trouble.

He had never seen such an interesting and reckless woman, so it would be nice to play with her.

"I promise you."

Lin Yun's face was filled with joy, and he performed the etiquette of an official.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

They both have their own thoughts.

Lin Yun already had a rough outline of a plan in his mind.

After arriving at Prince Jin’s Mansion.

She lived in the Prince of Jin's mansion as a staff member without making any big moves. She quietly wrote two letters and sent them to Huang Zifan in the northwest and Zhang Cen'er in the Prince of Lu's mansion. They were the two most important steps for her to complete her plan.

Huang Zifan was the biggest leader of the Northwest Uprising Army. He was a hunter before. All his family members were bullied to death by powerful gentry. He first organized the villagers in the same village. Who would have thought that he would become a powerful figure in the end, occupying the city and establishing his own regime.

Lin Yun wrote the letter to help Huang Zifan. She must make the rebel army more powerful. In her previous life, Xuanyuan Qiyuan acted very quickly, and the rebel army was just a guerrilla group and was not to be feared. She wanted to make the water in this pond more muddy so that she could fish in troubled waters.

Zhang Cen'er has an inseparable connection with the Xuanwu Dynasty. If she wants revenge, she needs support behind the scenes. The secret agents in her previous life are not reliable, so it is better to cooperate directly with the Xuanwu Dynasty. She knows that this may be courting death, but it doesn't matter.

A few days later.

When Gao Yunhuai took up his post, Emperor Xuanyuan did not allow his family to accompany him.

Gao Yunhuai packed his luggage, looked at Jian Xi intently, and stretched out his hand to carefully draw Jian Xi's face.

Although Jian Xi was friendly in the past, she was a little cold and distant. Now, Jian Xi can finally see him.

Jian Xi took out an exquisite little mahogany box and handed it to Gao Yunhuai, "Here."

Gao Yunhuai opened it.

An exquisite bead bracelet lay in the box, with traces of wear and tear on it, showing that it was quite old.

"What is this?" Gao Yunhuai wondered. He picked up the bracelet with his bony hands and examined it carefully.

"I found this on Li. I guess it may be related to my life experience. I heard that besides the wives of Duke Lan and Duke Han, only three families in Jiangnan, Cui, Lu, and Tao, have this bracelet. I originally wanted to go with my husband to investigate it myself, but now His Majesty has issued an order not to allow family members to accompany him, so I can only trouble my husband with this matter."

She told Gao Yunhuai the whole story and all the details, as well as Li's confession.

"Don't worry." Gao Yunhuai embraced Jian Xi and leaned his head on top of Jian Xi's head.

An inaudible voice said, "I'm sorry."

Jian Xi almost thought she had heard it wrong.

"What did your husband say?"

Gao Yunhuai blamed himself, "I'm sorry for you. We've only been married for a month, and I should have spent more time with you. You're alone at home and have to take care of your mother. I'm really not a competent husband."

"My husband, do you know why His Majesty suddenly asked you to go to Jiangning without your family?"

"I know a little bit. The northwest is in chaos. All officials serving in other places have to leave their families in the capital to prevent them from being instigated by rebels. I will definitely take you and mother to Jiangning within a year."

As Jian Xi listened to Gao Yunhuai's words, her heart became heavier. The feeling of relying on someone else for her safety was really unpleasant, even if that person was her husband who had been with her through thick and thin.

Gao Yunhuai traveled lightly in a carriage. Jian Xi stood at the gate of East City and silently watched Gao Yunhuai's back as he rode away on horseback.

Until Gao Yunhuai left, Zi Cui reminded him, "Madam, the weather is hot, go back, the master's trip will be smooth."

Xiao Shuang stood behind Jian Xi holding an umbrella, "Yes, Madam, there is still an old lady to take care of in the mansion."

Jian Xi sighed. For some reason, she felt that she should shed tears, but unexpectedly, she felt nothing at all. Was she really a heartless person?

Sometimes she didn't know what was wrong with her. Jane Xi touched her heart and the beating rhythm in her chest was very clear.

Gao family.

Lei Zi personally delivered the information he found to Jian Xi.

"I heard that after His Royal Highness Prince Jin met with His Majesty, His Majesty changed his mind and did not allow Mr. Gao's family to accompany him."

Jian Xi murmured, "King Xuanyuan of Jin is far away."

When Gao Yunhuai left, he had already explained his network of relationships in the capital, and it was also known that Gao Yunhuai and the King of Jin had formed a brief alliance.

"What do you think King Jin's purpose is?"

Lei Zi thought for a moment and said, "Since ancient times, officials have not allowed their families to accompany them when they take up local posts for only one purpose, to check each other. Logically speaking, my master, you are not pregnant yet, and you are newly married. Your Majesty really shouldn't be so wary."

As he spoke, Lei Zi looked at Jian Xi's belly, as if thinking about something.

Jian Xi frowned. She had only been married for a month. Although Gao Yunhuai was diligent,...

Thinking of something, Jian Xi's delicate eyebrows narrowed. She remembered that she had eaten two more bites of sour plums at the palace banquet.

"Zicui, take the master's token and ask Dr. Guo to come over. Tell her that your mother is not feeling well and ask her to come and diagnose her pulse."

"Yes."

Lei Zi wanted to talk but stopped. Jian Xi saw that he had more to say, so she smiled gently and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Brother Lei Zi and I have known each other since we were young, and I treat you as my own brother."

"Master, if you really find out that you are pregnant, you must make plans early."

"What do you mean by this?"
