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

"Ah, this..." How can this not be considered a result of one's own actions?

Lu Anyuan looked at Xu Yixing's expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said tactfully: "You think it's a coincidence, but it's true. The second brother used this kind of gunpowder under the fourth brother's seat. We have compared it and there is absolutely no mistake."

The second prince was really miserable. He didn't even know how to rebel and was killed by his own weapon. It was all fate!

"Well, he brought this upon himself. So have his accomplices been caught?"

Lu Anyuan nodded: "We captured all of them in the basement of the Qibei Palace yesterday, a total of 2,000 people, and the remaining 3,000 people who were ambushed in various places in the capital were also eliminated one after another, but we are not sure if there are other people."

"Two thousand people, underground?" It is really hard to connect these two words together. How big would the venue and underground palace be for two thousand people to live underground?

"Yes, the entire basement of the Qibei Palace is empty. I don't know when the second brother moved those people in one after another for secret training. I said he only brought ten guards with him when he returned to the capital. It turns out that he was not short of manpower at all!"

At this point, Lu Anyuan bit his back teeth hard. He wondered how many of these people were supported by his own gold!

Xu Yixing also sucked his teeth at the right time. It has come to this, and the rebellion has not succeeded yet? The second prince is really not destined to be the emperor!

"Did the emperor say how to deal with this matter?"

"The criminal Lu Chiyan plotted treason. According to the law of high treason, he will be demoted to a commoner and his corpse will be whipped 100 times. He will not be buried in the imperial mausoleum. He will be thrown into a mass grave along with the commoner Zhou. This will be announced to the world and despised by all the people."

Oh, the emperor is so stingy. Even though he is dying, he still wants to beat your son a hundred times. He is so cruel.

"What about the Second Prince's Consort and the Young Prince?"

Lu Anyuan showed sympathy on his face: "Depose them all as commoners, wait for them to be escorted back to the capital, and confine them in the cold palace. From now on, there will be no branch of the Second Prince."

Xu Yixing felt a little uncomfortable. She had met the Second Prince's wife several times and knew that she was the daughter of a businessman and was a gentle person. Now not only did she lose the honor of being a prince's wife, but even her son and daughter were imprisoned together. Did she ever think of this ending when she entered the palace with such glory?

"What you men do brings trouble to your wives and children. What kind of ability is that?"

"A husband and wife share prosperity and adversity, that's how it is. Besides, my second brother's treason this time has implicated so many people, it's not easy for father to still protect his wife and children." Faced with his father's decision, Lu Anyuan held a completely opposite point of view, which made Xu Yixing a little angry.

"What if you get beheaded in the future and I'm imprisoned by the emperor? Should I say 'Long live the emperor' out of gratitude?"

"How could that be! I won't rebel, so it's not your turn to be a prisoner."

"I can't make sense to you!"

Lu Anyuan didn't know why Yixing suddenly got angry again, so he could only continue: "Well... In addition to them, there are also the Dragon Guard General He Bin and Deputy General Shi Rui who joined the rebellion this time, and the City Defense Department's termites who were found out, all of whom were sentenced to death. Second brother's confidants in Qibei were all escorted to the capital, and there are still many people to be purged later."

He didn't tell anyone about the exile of these people's wives and children. He always felt that if he told them, Yixing would be angry again.

"Didn't you say last time that Shi Rui killed He Bin, which was considered a meritorious service? The emperor didn't give him a light sentence, right?"

"They died because of a disagreement and a quarrel. It doesn't count as a merit."

"So the uninformed Dragon Guard soldiers?"

"But they didn't kill them all. Uncle Prince Cheng pleaded for them yesterday, so the emperor will probably just banish them and won't execute them all."

Xu Yixing felt relieved. He finally heard some news that was not so sad. "What about you? Didn't the emperor say you have made great contributions? What did he confer on you?"

"Well..." Lu Anyuan scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed: "Indeed there is a reward, but the emperor didn't say it clearly, so he should discuss it with the Ministry of Rites. Anyway, there will be a clear decree issued by then, so we just have to wait."

Xu Yixing smiled with relief. After all, he had taken such a big risk. The Second Prince was dead, and Lu Anyuan would naturally get some benefits. Otherwise, how could he make up for the gold he had invested in vain?

Xu Yixing was still thinking about some loopholes in the matter when he felt the light in front of his eyes dim and Lu Anyuan's face suddenly moved closer to him.

"Madam, yesterday I reflected on my bad habits for a long time. It was indeed my fault. Madam, please don't be angry with me. Can't we make peace?"

Xu Yixing tilted his neck back, avoiding the tip of Lu Anyuan's nose that was right in front of him. I've never seen anyone beg for peace so hard, but he still didn't teach you a lesson. Do you think I didn't hear the good things Mr. Yao brought you last night?

This is not knowing one's fault at all, it's clearly being obsessed with lust!

"No, we'll discuss this when you become a prince."

"Ah? Then you have to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne before you can confer the title of king. What's more, if I become the emperor in the future, do you want me to confer the title of prince on myself? That won't do, Yixing..." Lu Anyuan tried to persuade him, but Yixing was too cruel and refused to let him stay overnight.

There is no way, the study is the final destination for this good night.

Lu Anyuan left and Xu Yixing went to bed by himself. This day passed so quickly!

"Pfft!"

In the dark night, she couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking of a story she had heard before called "Worse than Beasts". It seems that Lu Anyuan is actually worse than a beast!

After laughing, the depression in her heart was relieved a lot. She didn't know that Lu Anyuan's choice of her death was a joke. Even if she were in such a situation, she would certainly tell the second prince to choose him to die at home with guards guarding him. This is not disloyalty, and it has nothing to do with love or not.

But thinking of the second prince, from Lu Anyuan's narration, there are indeed some problems that have not been resolved.

Firstly, how did he escape from the outer palace in the first place, and how did he stay in the Fourth Prince's mansion for so long? The Fourth Prince's denial of knowing the truth might not be completely false, otherwise, with the Fourth Prince's intelligence, he would have been able to save himself or at least pass on some information, and would not have sat on a powder keg waiting to die.

How did the second prince know about the secret passage in Prince Cheng's mansion? If it was just the relationship between the emperor and Prince Cheng, then this situation would be too unfavorable to Prince Cheng. However, considering the emperor's trust in Prince Cheng, I don't think the news was leaked from Prince Cheng. How the second prince knew about it, I'm afraid only he knows it.

The third thing is, gunpowder and private soldiers are not cheap things. If there is no one to cover them, how can they be hidden in every corner of the capital? These are all suspicious points!
