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

Xu Yixing didn't react much. He stood up and patted the mud off his body. He couldn't wear this clothes anymore.

"Look at what you are so anxious about. If you really don't care about government affairs, you wouldn't have dressed up and waited for me today, right? Sir, if your talent is aimless, it will be a loss to the people and the court."

Xu Yixing's lobbying speech was not very contagious, but she still said that it was all from the bottom of her heart, and it was up to you whether to listen to it or not.

"Shen knows these words well, so there is no need to say them again."

Xu Yixing saw that Shen Yue had already turned around and went to the inner room. She had no choice but to take Ying Wu out of the room. But just as she was leaving, she heard Shen Yue's voice coming from inside the door:

"Last time you said that General Xu was about to get married. If that's all right, I will go to your house and ask for wedding wine."

"Really? That's great, my dad will definitely be very happy! Then we'll just wait for you at home!" Xu Yixing shouted through the crack in the door. This time there was no response at all, but she was really happy.

Leading the horse, he happily left Shen Yue's yard.

"Master, why are you so happy?" Ying Wu didn't understand. Shen Yue had clearly rejected her argument, so why should she be happy?

"Are you unhappy when someone comes to your house as a guest?"

"I have no home."

Xu Yixing turned his head and glanced at Ying Wu, to confirm whether this person was deliberately arguing with him. "I forgot that you Shadow Guards have been trained since childhood to follow the master, and it seems that you really have no home. But it doesn't matter, when the time is right, I will let you settle down."

It was not empty talk. Sooner or later, the shadow guards would get sick and grow old. Xu Yixing had not planned to use them until they died. As for how to place them in the future, he would have to wait until everything was settled before making a decision.

Yingwu didn't think much of it. He thought that he might die tomorrow anyway, so why think so far ahead?

Xu Yixing went out and mounted his horse, but he did not go to Gushan Mountain. Instead, he lingered in the nearby woods for a while. It was almost dark when he prepared to go to the outer palace.

"Wait a minute, there's movement ahead!" Ying Jiu suddenly appeared and stood in front of the two men.

Xu Yixing was shocked. His feeling came true. Did something really happen?

The atmosphere in the outer palace was extremely high. The moon-viewing party was supposed to be held tomorrow night, but the emperor was in high spirits today and directly held a small banquet. All the ministers were present and the guests and hosts were all happy. Even the talents of several princes, princesses and their husbands were displayed, which was really a peaceful atmosphere.

After performing a standard sword dance, Lu Anyuan quietly returned to his seat, looking at the empty seat next to him with a bit of panic.

Didn’t you say you would come in a while? Why haven’t you arrived yet at this time?

If I had known earlier, I should have let A-Da go with him at noon. Yi-xing insisted that the shadow guard was enough. It’s such a headache!

Lu Anyuan glanced at the rising moon outside the temple and calculated the time. Could something have happened? But it shouldn't be the case. The entire Gushan Mountain is under martial law today. Even if Yixing is going to Nanshan Mountain, there is only one official road, so it is impossible for him to get lost.

He glanced again at the Second Prince who had just performed a set of fancy moves with great pride. At the moment, the Second Prince had a smug look on his face, and he was leaning against the Queen and the Queen Mother, saying something.

Lu Anyuan then looked at the Fifth Prince who was standing beside him. He saw it and responded softly, saying that there was nothing unusual. But Lu Anyuan felt uneasy. His second brother had been silent for so many days. Could it be today? He was so brave!

After thinking it over again and again, Lu Anyuan decided to leave the palace and tell his people that the Second Prince must have made some moves and that they must be on guard. But before he could leave the palace, the head of the Imperial Guard suddenly came in from outside and interrupted the originally lively banquet.

"Your Majesty, there are archers attacking at the foot of Gushan Mountain. The number of archers is unknown. The Imperial Guards have already moved forward to fight them. I would like to ask Your Majesty for an imperial decree. Do you want to request reinforcements from the capital?"

Lu Anyuan stopped when he heard this, with an expression of disbelief: Forced attack? Is the second brother crazy? Just relying on those teams he transferred who thought no one knew about them, he wanted to start a rebellion?

The hall was completely silent, and the emperor's dissatisfaction was evident in his frown. He was dissatisfied with the general. Why did he have to talk about such a trivial matter at a banquet? What if he scared the queen mother?

Yes, the emperor was extremely arrogant throughout his life, and it was common for him to be assassinated. Is it necessary to make such a fuss about it?

"Hmph, a bunch of rabble, what support? Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the Royal Guards on the mountain to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop and bring the head of the leader to us!" These words were of course said by Old Man Xu, but they were actually a bit arrogant. When the emperor was assassinated, naturally the safety of Your Majesty was the most important thing, but the arrogance of his words made the emperor like it very much.

He raised his hand slightly, signaling that no movement should be made in the hall for the time being, and spoke like an emperor: "General Xu is thoughtful, but most of the imperial guards on Gushan Mountain are lightly armored. They can defend but attack, which is a bit difficult for them. It's okay, General Xie, you can take the tiger talisman and return to the capital to mobilize troops for help, there is no need to panic."

"Yes!" General Xie of the Imperial Guard stepped forward, took the tiger talisman from the emperor, and hurried away.

The emperor encouraged the ministers in the hall and then went to comfort the empress dowager and his family. He was not worried about his own safety at all. He had started to deploy defenses near the suburbs of Beijing a month ago and had never received any unusual reports. So even if there was an attack today, it would only be a bunch of scattered soldiers and bandits, and there was no need to worry at all.

Before he could open his mouth to comfort him, the second prince hurried over, lowered his head and said a few words, and the emperor's face immediately turned bad.

"Where is the seventh prince?" the emperor shouted across the hall.

Lu Anyuan then noticed that the position he was standing in was really awkward and strange - he was about to leave the hall to look for his people, but was interrupted by this news. So the position he was standing in the back of the hall was definitely not the position for a prince.

Besides, everyone would be sitting, and if he was sticking out like this now, it would look like he was trying to escape.

Damn!

Lu Anyuan now felt that something was wrong. It was definitely not a good thing for his father to call him at this time!

After replying "yes", he hurried forward. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, his father still asked him to go upstairs, apparently wanting him to go to the banquet table.

Standing only one person away from his father, he could see the puzzled expressions of the Empress and the Queen Mother, and was also wondering why His Majesty only looked for him.

"Yuan'er, where is your princess consort?"

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he asked directly about Xu Yixing. Lu Anyuan suddenly felt something was wrong. She was the only one not in the palace at the moment. Could it be that her father had linked the assassination to her?

Looking at the Second Prince's gloating look, he really wanted to dig out Lu Chiyan's eyes!

"Father, Yi Yan felt a little unwell when she went up the mountain today. She got off the car on the Nanshan official road to get some fresh air and has not returned yet. I am very worried about her."
