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

"But have you ever thought that maybe your second brother no longer trusts you?" Ever since the Fourth Prince "believed" in Military Advisor Lu's plan and sent troops to kill Wu Xueyan, the second brother should have been suspicious of him a long time ago. It was not easy for him to endure until now.

"Whatever. Anyway, he has only used me as a stepping stone from the beginning. No matter whether he really believes in me or not, I must not be used by him. Otherwise, if he ascends the throne one day, I will probably die before you."

The Fourth Prince made no secret of the fact that he had been with Concubine Ying and the Second Prince for so many years and had already figured them out thoroughly. These two were extremely selfish in their bones, and one was more ruthless than the other.

"Fourth brother is very insightful and intelligent. In fact, it can only be you. After all, the third brother has a grudge against him, and the fifth and sixth brothers probably won't listen to him. After all, we brothers are destined to be together!" Lu Anyuan pretended to be relaxed and even joked with the fourth prince.

But the Fourth Prince had no idea what was going on. He also didn't know where these powerful rebels at the foot of the mountain came from.

Lu Anyuan told him everything his father had just told him, showing a bit of cooperation.

"What? But how did my second brother convince the Dragon Guards to rebel? This is totally impossible!"

Lu Anyuan smiled bitterly and leaned over the railing: "Fourth brother, Second brother really doesn't treat you as his own. I know all the news, but you don't know it."

"What is it?" the Fourth Prince was suspicious.

"Qibei discovered a gold mine."

"What!" The Fourth Prince's tone of voice changed completely this time. Lu Anyuan could tell that it was a mixture of jealousy and hatred. "Gold mine? How is that possible!"

The fourth prince was first overwhelmed by jealousy for a moment, but then he calmed down. Qibei has already discovered silver and iron mines. If there are gold mines now, then the second brother will definitely use this to start a rebellion. No wonder, no wonder, he has lived in the capital for so long and has no intention of going back!

He had no doubt why Lu Anyuan knew the news. After all, they were separated by a river. Even if Lu Anyuan knew it, he would naturally keep the news secret as long as possible.

Lu Chiyan really didn't trust me anymore! He didn't tell me anything about such a big thing, it was really too much!

On the other hand, this is the only reason that can explain why Longwuwei turned against us. The second brother must have given the leader of Longwuwei huge benefits to make them tempted and do such a rebellious thing.

"No wonder, no wonder, second brother is so confident, it's because he has money..." The Fourth Prince instantly understood the current situation, and felt more and more that his choice to stand with Lu Anyuan was right. Otherwise, if this military remonstrance was successful, 80% of the people on the mountain would be purged by his second brother to get rid of the charge of patricide.

"City Defense Department!" The two of them suddenly said a key point in unison, the most important City Defense Department now!

Assuming that the second brother has obtained the tiger talisman and mobilized the unsuspecting Weiwei army into the city, he must obtain permission from the City Defense Department before entering the capital.

Wasn't the City Defense Department something that the Wu family had in their hands before? If he could force Wu Xueyan to give an expired Yu Ling to the Xu family, couldn't he force him to leave a real one for himself before he left?

"It's bad, Seventh Brother, we must quickly ask the Emperor to send someone back to the capital to order the City Defense Department not to open the gates!"

"I have just asked my father for his imperial seal, but unfortunately he refused to give it to me."

"The seal?" The fourth prince was shocked. Seventh brother is so bold. Giving the jade seal is equivalent to giving you everything. If you take the opportunity to write an imperial edict to pass the throne to you and put the seal on it, wouldn't it come true? Seventh brother is so bold!

"But it doesn't matter. Since my father can't persuade me, I will go to the empress dowager and ask for her handwritten order. It will surely work." Lu Anyuan had no other choice. Only my father, the empress and the empress dowager could be in charge of the City Defense Department. Now that my father was determined to conquer the rebels by relying on his looks, he could only go to the empress dowager for help.

"Alas! It's a pity that Fan Shi is dead, and I have no one available around me. Otherwise, if he were here, he would be able to deliver the imperial edict within an hour." The Fourth Prince sighed exaggeratedly. He still hasn't found out who did it, but except for Lu Anyuan, who would have the reason to kill Fan Shi?

Lu Anyuan glanced at him with interest, said nothing, turned around and walked towards the Queen Mother's Palace, and finally said: "If the second brother asks tomorrow, please help me to smooth it over~"

The Fourth Prince had no idea how Lu Anyuan persuaded the Queen Mother or who he sent down the mountain. He just waited by the pavilion all night as Lu Anyuan said. It was not until the sky was slightly bright that he saw Lu Anyuan returning to his side wearing clothes wet by the morning dew.

"how?"

"They have left, but I heard the sound of fighting getting smaller in the second half of the night. I don't know if the rebels have retreated or are preparing to set up a new encirclement and attack again. It's hard to say."

The fourth prince did not respond. It was easy for 30,000 elite Dragon Guards to surround a small Drum Mountain. If it were not for the desperate resistance of the Imperial Guards, it would have been captured long ago. But this time, he only brought 5,000 Imperial Guards with him, which was no match for them.

The reason why the rebels have not yet attacked the mountain is probably because my second brother did not order a full-scale attack.

But what is Lu Chiyan hesitating about?

If I had such luck, I would have killed my father and seized the seal last night, then arbitrarily pinned the crime on one of my brothers, and marched straight into the capital today to see who dared to stop me.

The Second Prince is useless!

Seeing his brows darken, Lu Anyuan asked casually, "What are you thinking about?"

“Haha, I think we both have the same idea.” The Fourth Prince stopped talking and did not continue.

Now is the time to greet father and see how my second brother will deal with the current situation.

The two of them came to the Lizheng Hall together and saw that the third, fifth and sixth princes had all arrived. It seemed that everyone was very concerned about the safety of their father at this time.

The door opened from the inside, and the person who came out was not Eunuch Kang, but the Second Prince Lu Chiyan.

"Good morning, brothers and gentlemen."

"Second Prince." Everyone present saluted him. After all, nominally speaking, he was the person with the highest status here.

"Unfortunately, my father was shocked to hear about the rebellion last night. He was so angry that he couldn't stand it and fell ill. He is still in a coma and cannot see you adults."

Lu Anyuan sneered in his heart, knowing that this was the case. It was just that you said this yesterday, but it was too unconvincing to say it today.

As expected, the Prime Minister was the first to stand up and refute: "Since your Majesty is not feeling well, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng or the princes should be taking care of him. Besides, why don't you see the Queen Mother and the Empress?"

The second prince was not in a hurry. He stood on the high steps and looked down at everyone. "Several elders are resting in the back hall. It's just a small matter. I am here to handle it. There is no need to trouble them."
