Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"Thank you all for your hard work. Today I am going to my fiefdom Qibei with my family. I am fortunate to have you all see me off. I am grateful!" After the second prince said this, he drank the farewell wine sent by the Ministry of Rites and showed the empty wine bottle to everyone, with a hint of long-lasting friendship.

"Second brother...Qibeihuangwu, if anything goes wrong, you must write to me and I will do my best to help!" The Fourth Prince was the first to step forward and tightly hold the Second Prince's hand. His face was pale and his eyes were dark, with white gauze wrapped around his head, looking like he had just recovered from a serious illness.

If Xu Yixing had not experienced the Outer Palace Incident early on, he would have really believed that he and the Second Prince had a deep brotherly relationship.

The Second Prince rarely showed a gentle expression. He smiled and patted the Fourth Prince's hand, and at the same time, he quietly pulled his hand back into his sleeve. Who knows if he was sincere or just crying wolf?

He had long heard about his fourth and seventh brothers pleading for him. His seventh brother naturally had no good intentions, but his fourth brother seemed sincere, but every word he said pushed him into a more desperate situation, and he really didn't dare to believe it anymore.

The third prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince all said a few simple words. The second prince also had a gentle expression and offered words of encouragement from time to time, acting like an older brother.

But when it was Lu Anyuan and Xu Yixing's turn to step forward and speak, the Second Prince walked a few steps outside the official road. The three of them avoided the crowd and talked about some things that were not very presentable.

"I didn't ask my fourth brother to kill Wu Xueyan." The second prince spoke as soon as he talked about an old matter that had already passed. However, neither Xu Lu nor the others panicked. After all, that was what the second prince wanted to say.

"Second brother, do you want me to tell father about this?" Lu Anyuan's tone was calm, even with a hint of confusion, as if he didn't know why his second brother suddenly brought up this matter.

"Humph, you are quite good at pretending. I now have reason to suspect that it was you who asked He Xin to do this!"

Xu Yixing listened and learned the name of another prince.

"Second brother, you are joking. Fourth brother and I have never been close since childhood. How could he do anything for me?"

The second prince narrowed his eyes, full of disdain and dissatisfaction: "If you two hadn't set a trap, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

The second prince had reason to hate Xu Yixing's family. After all, he was driven out of the palace and out of the capital because of the two of them.

Xu Yi bowed and smiled sweetly: "Your Highness thinks too highly of us. It should be said that if it weren't for your arrangement, how could my husband and I be so happy and harmonious with each other."

From the Second Prince rescuing Wu Xueyan and training her as a potential future enemy of the Xu family, to giving her the city defense commander badge, to plotting with the Sun family for the position of Young Madam, every single attack was initiated by him, so no matter how Xu Yixing fought back, he did not feel guilty.

"Besides, it was Concubine Ying who 'fought' for you to leave the capital this time in front of His Majesty, so you don't need to thank us."

Lu Anyuan glanced at the smug Yixing and thought that she knew how to irritate people and was really vindictive.

The second prince did not lose his composure when hearing these sarcastic words, and even smiled slightly. However, there was a hint of sharpness in his smile.

"I would like to thank you two more. From now on, I will guard Qibei, which is separated from your fiefdom by a river. I think there are many things that you cannot control, but I can help you. Well, we still have a long time, so let's wait and see."

After the second prince finished speaking, he stepped back into the official road, spoke a few more words to the remaining officials, got on the carriage and drove away, leaving behind only a cloud of dust and the sound of irregular horse hooves.

The people at the South Gate gradually dispersed, and Lu Anyuan took Yixing on horseback back home. The joy she had never experienced before made her completely forget the unpleasantness she had just experienced.

"Do you think the Second Prince's last words were a threat to us?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I guess that my second brother is more or less happy after leaving the capital, except for being angry."

"How to say?"

"After all, he can leave Ying Fei now. I heard that he has been packing up at home for the past three days and has not entered the palace. He only met with the emperor last night and did not go to see Ying Fei at all."

"This...Is Concubine Ying going to die of anger?"

"How could that be? Concubine Ying had gone to the Fahua Hall to listen to the Bodhisattva's true words three days ago. She can't even leave now."

"Tsk tsk tsk, she has been the emperor's favorite concubine all her life, but she can't even figure out the emperor's thoughts. She is so stupid." Xu Yixing couldn't help but sigh. Even though she was an enemy, the mistakes she made were worth learning from.

When you are facing a person who is much stronger than you and can even decide your life or death, the best way is to live in disgrace. When one day you become stronger, it will not be too late to destroy him.

"She is very stupid. But then again, if my mother were still alive, she might be even more stupid than her."

"Why do you describe your mother-in-law like this?" Xu Yixing frowned. He knew that Lu Anyuan had no feelings for Concubine Yi, but it was too rude to say so.

"I'm telling the truth. My mother has no merits at all except that she's pretty and has a good sister. If she was really smart, she should have focused on educating her son after she fell out of favor, waiting for me to become successful, or waiting for my father to change his mind, instead of taking out all her anger about falling out of favor on me!"

Lu Anyuan said this in a very harsh tone, as if he really hated her.

Seeing him like this, Xu Yixing knew that it was useless to say anything, so he just let it go. "By the way, I actually don't know how Concubine Yi died?"

This past event has always been her blind spot, and she never wanted to ask about it before, but today she is really interested in it.

A flash of gray flashed across Lu Anyuan's eyes: "Tell everyone that he died of illness."

"Actually?"

“Alas!” Lu Anyuan looked at the empty bedroom and sighed after confirming that no one was there: “Alas! It’s okay to tell you, but don’t spread it to others.”

"Okay." Xu Yixing nodded solemnly and clenched the handkerchief tightly. She had a hunch that this was another old secret.

"My mother made a mistake and was executed by the Empress according to the law of the palace. After her death, her body was only buried in the most remote corner of the imperial mausoleum."

Huh? The current queen has always been kind and tolerant, and even most of the harem is managed by Concubine Ying. I didn't expect that she could be so cruel when she was young.

"To be able to get the Queen to order a death sentence... This is a very serious crime, right?"

Lu Anyuan nodded dejectedly: "The Queen found out from my mother that she used witchcraft to confuse my father, and also used the method of curse on other princes and concubines, so she was executed."

"Hiss!" This was a reason Xu Yixing had never expected. Concubine Yi had such great ability that she could actually use this to deceive the emperor?

Suddenly, another thought flashed through her mind: "Witchcraft? I remember Ying Si said that Mr. Yao is the descendant of the Si Chong people. Are the two related?"
