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

"Yes." Xu Yixing couldn't help but despise his father in his heart. He only knew how to suck up to others. This time, I am the one who did the most!

As soon as his father left, Lu Anyuan came out of the Lizheng Hall, his face flushed. "Let's go, we will return to Beijing immediately."

"Where's the Second Prince? Where are those rebels? Are they all gone?"

"The Queen Mother has ordered Uncle to take charge and clean up the mess here. Everyone else will follow the team back to the capital."

Xu Yixing understood that since King Cheng was in charge of the coordination, there was naturally no need for anyone else.

The so-called "returning to Beijing with the team" is nothing more than a disguised form of house arrest and detention. After all, there is no conclusion to today's incident, and everyone on Gushan will be screened one by one to find the real culprit.

"Okay, let's go."

August 15th is supposed to be the day for the moon-viewing party, but those officials who had left the capital in glory the day before returned to the capital today, looking dusty and dirty.

Fortunately, martial law was imposed on both sides of the street early on, otherwise, when the people saw everyone in this state, I don’t know what to think.

Xu Yixing originally thought that he should be sent back to the prince's residence, but he was unexpectedly sent directly to the palace. In fact, not only himself, but all the princes, princesses and relatives except the second prince were taken to the palace. It seems that the Queen Mother and the Queen do not believe that others are completely innocent.

"What palace is this? Why have I never been here before?" Xu Yixing collapsed on the unfamiliar couch exhausted. He looked around but still had no impression.

Lu Anyuan stepped forward to take off her armor and put it aside carefully. It looked heavy.

"This is my mother's Yixiao Pavilion. No one has lived there for a long time. It's amazing that they cleaned it up."

"Oh!" Xu Yixing sat up. Without the armor, he felt much lighter. "Then why don't you arrange for us to stay in Madam Jing's palace? I heard that Madam Jing also has her own palace in the palace."

"Maybe they don't trust us that much yet." Lu Anyuan leaned against Yixing. They hadn't slept all night and were very tired. But he also knew that someone would come to investigate their whereabouts soon, so he couldn't sleep either.

"So what happened to you yesterday? How did the Second Prince control the Dragon Guards?" Xu Yixing's mind was a mess now. He was even more confused than when he saw the mountain full of rebels yesterday.

"This, in the final analysis, is because of you."

"Bullshit!" Xu Yixing straightened his back and leaned his head against the window coffin behind him. "Don't put such a crime that can kill all nine generations of my clan on me!"

Lu Anyuan smiled and reached out to press her head into his arms. "Really? Do you still remember the idea you gave me before? The one that lied that there was a gold mine in Qibei."

Xu Yixing leaned on his chest, and the voice he heard had a buzzing reverberation, which was somewhat strange and interesting.

"I remember. So you really made the Second Prince believe that there is a gold mine in Qibei?" This is easier said than done. The Second Prince is not a fool. He would never believe such a thing unless he finds eight or ten people to confirm it.

"Yes, even before my second brother was driven out of the capital, they had been laying the groundwork, having people spread rumors about gold ore being dug up, including letting the villagers or barbarians 'dig up' gold sand.

Anyway, before my second brother went to Qibei, he had already heard rumors that there might be a gold mine there. Of course, given his personality, he would definitely keep the news secret and never let it out, which is exactly what I want."

"It seems that you are moving faster than I thought." It was just an idea that he casually proposed during the New Year. Less than two months later, the second prince was banished from the capital, and the time left for Lu Anyuan was really limited.

"I have to thank my fifth brother. Over the years, the military and civilians in Southern Xinjiang have become one solid block. Although people in the south and north are weeping over the remote wilderness, the people have been relying on my shops all over the fiefdom for their livelihood from birth to death. In addition, more than 80% of the officials in Southern Xinjiang have already joined my name.

Sealing off the mountain and transporting stones, faking the geology of the gold mine, and the dozens of geological masters invited by his second brother finally made him sure that he was the chosen one, and he was so happy. "

This was the first time that Lu Anyuan showed his domineering spirit in front of Xu Yixing, in addition to his murderous aura. He spoke so confidently and frankly, as if he had suddenly transformed from an unknown person to an operator behind the scenes, which made her feel unfamiliar, but also fascinated.

Qibei had been without a ruler for many years. Xu Yixing knew that Lu Anyuan's power had infiltrated, but he did not expect that 80% of the officials in the entire southern border had defected to Lu Anyuan. As a result, the second prince thought he was the king of his own fiefdom, but he did not know that someone had already taken over first.

It's no wonder that he was led by Lu Anyuan. According to the reports from Shadow Six and Shadow Seven, he sent people to wander around in the mountains, most likely to confirm the location of the gold mine, which was also the work of Lu Anyuan.

"But I don't understand. This plan has only been in place for more than eight months. If you are talking about it, unless you are a god who can turn stone into gold, how can the Second Prince have the confidence to rebel without seeing the real thing? And how can the Dragon Guard rebel against the emperor without getting any real benefits?"

"How could there be no real stuff? In order to make my second brother believe in the gold mine, I lost all my family fortune over the years. As for the gold bars refined from the gold mine that He Bin saw and got, they were all real.

To be honest, it’s only been eight months. If it had been longer, my second brother would have given all my savings away to those bribers!”

Lu Anyuan said it calmly, but thinking back on the steps of this plan, he still felt it was too risky. If his second brother had not started an army but quietly made gold and accumulated it, he would have discovered in a few years that the gold mine was fake, and he would have been dragged to death before that.

"You are really rich and brave." This is Xu Yixing's most sincere and pertinent evaluation. The person who can implement this plan must be rich, courageous, have countless good helpers, and have the courage to trust people.

For example, if one of those masters raised a little objection, the Second Prince would probably think about it for a long time; for example, the Fifth Prince was obviously helping the Second Prince to manage his assets, so it was impossible for him not to know about such a big move. If he chose to point it out or accidentally let it slip, these would be "mishaps" that could directly cause Lu Anyuan to suffer a devastating disaster.

"I can't help it. I'm desperate. Look at my second brother's attitude. If he really stays in Qibei for three to five years and becomes a big shot, won't Qinan be in trouble? The people in Southern Xinjiang have a harder life than those in other places. They shouldn't become victims of our fight."

"That's a very high-sounding statement. In the future, just tell others about this kind of high-sounding truth. If you're trying to deceive me, forget it!"
