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

"ghost!"

This was the last sentence, or the last word, that my father left in this world. Xu Yixing saw that his steps were weak, he was trembling in fear at the air, and then he uttered a word and fell heavily in the secret passage where he was going to escape, without a sound.

In fact, she was still too late. If her father could live another three or five days, she would have been sure to hear his confession from his own mouth. It was a pity that her uncle did not give her this opportunity.

What's more, my father was stubborn and self-centered before he died. Even if he was willing to plead guilty on the surface, he was disdainful in his heart. There is really no need to see more people like him.

Bai Yu pushed the door open the moment Xu Xianshan fell. He had been standing outside the door, watching the show inside.

"Xiaoyan, what did you say in your father's ear just now?" Bai Yu could see that Xu Yiyan asked the same question as he did, but he didn't understand why she left the palace and rushed into Xu's house so urgently. Was it just for this?

"Nothing much, just a little bit of truth."

Bai Yu was stunned, as if he was thinking of some way to pry open her mouth, but this thought was fleeting. He was in a very good mood today, so he decided to just let this little question slip.

"Is what you just said about Granny He true?"

"It's true. I have her confession." Xu Yixing still had two signed confessions, but they were useless now. "I'll send them to my uncle later. I think my grandfather would be happy to see them."

Bai Yu was even more relieved. He had originally planned to ask for the old commander to burn incense to comfort the dead, but he didn't expect his niece to say it herself. It seemed that he had made the right decision not to interfere with her and the Shadow Guard's affairs!

"Uncle, is it the emperor?" Xu Yixing's tears had dried by this time, and the tears she shed for her father had stopped there.

Bai Yu nodded. The incident happened today, and actions were taken simultaneously inside and outside the palace. He was here to strangle Xu Xianshan in accordance with the imperial decree.

"Xiaoyan, you don't have to be sad. You are a smart child. You should know that this is the emperor paving the way for the future crown prince."

In the eyes of the emperor, the future crown prince must be a monarch who will not be interfered with by external relatives. If he really lets someone like Xu Xianshan who has the ambition and ability to overthrow the dynasty to assist his son, he will not agree, so Xu Xianshan will definitely die.

"I understand. In the end, I am marrying above my station." She chose to become the prince's consort and helped to let Lu Anyuan's factional strife go. She would inevitably move towards that ending step by step. She has no one to blame. If only my father was a civil servant, maybe the Xu family could be saved. Alas!

Bai Yu didn't know how to comfort him. After the matter was over, he was anxious to return to the palace to report. "Xiao Yan, when the matter is over, why don't you come home and tell me in detail. From now on, I am your uncle!"

Bai Yu spoke very sincerely. By saying this, he completely accepted "Xu Yiyan" as his family. Although Xu Yixing was touched, he still rejected him at the first opportunity.

Her husband is going to be the emperor and cannot be close to the commander of the palace guards.

"From the day you told me the details of the Shadow Guard, I was already wrong, wasn't I?"

Bai Yu was stunned. He had never expected that his niece was so smart. The young are formidable! The young are formidable! "Yes, that's right."

"She?" Xu Yixing pointed at Zuo who was still unconscious, his expression of inquiry clear.

"The emperor only killed Xu Xianshan. When she wakes up, she can go wherever she wants."

Xu Yixing turned around, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old man in the pit. "I have repaid you for giving birth to me. Dad, I will never be your daughter again in my next life."

Bai Yu let her leave with the shadow guard, his admiration evident in his eyes.

After returning to the palace, Xu Yixing knew that Lu Anyuan had gone to deal with other things. He sighed and prepared to take a good bath, but then he remembered that Ying Wu seemed to have something to say to him.

"Shadow Five, what did you want to tell me this afternoon?"

"Just to let you know that everything you need for your escape is ready. We are also ready to go and can leave at any time." Ying Wu had not received any orders from his master for ten days since he received the order. He was extremely anxious. Fortunately, he was able to return today. He suddenly hoped that his master would set off immediately and leave this dangerous place.

"It's not useful for the time being. Looking at it now, alas!" Xu Yixing sighed again. This capital city seemed like a curse to him. He had prepared to leave several times, but in the end, things always went against his wishes.

"Yes." Ying Jiu sighed inwardly. Sure enough, things were not so easy to resolve. "By the way, there is no rebellion in the North. The troops that appeared in the capital today are..."

"It's the Weiwei Army." Xu Yixing took over the conversation. As early as the moment Lu Anyuan handed over the tiger talisman in Yian Hall, she knew that these so-called rebels were not the Northern Border Army that her father had bribed, but the emperor's personal guards.

The border troops entering the capital was probably a conspiracy between the emperor and Lu Anyuan. On the one hand, they fooled my father, the queen mother, and the king of Cheng, while on the other hand, they secretly purged the traitors. Even if my father really escaped and returned to Miaozhou today, I'm afraid that the only people waiting for him would be the emperor's people, and there would be no so-called comeback for him.

"Yes, the Weiwei army entered the capital two days ago, disguised as rebels."

"Got it. You can go now. But prepare some things for your escape. You may need them someday. This capital city is too unstable."

Yingjiu agreed with this statement very much. Whoever wants to stay in this crappy place can stay there!

Xu Yixing bathed, changed clothes, burned incense, and then... sat at the table to eat.

She hadn't had a normal meal for more than ten days. She stayed in the secret room every day, and she was exhausted. But she didn't know where Siqin was. She didn't follow her to see the emperor. Was she still in the palace this time?

After finishing the meal leisurely, I finally waited for the shivering Siqin and the slightly guilty Lu Anyuan to return.

"Miss!" Siqinna rushed over fiercely and burst into tears in Xu Yixing's arms. She had been locked up in Yixiao Pavilion for ten days. Although she had not suffered any abuse, she was suffering every moment. And when she was taken out today, she saw blood all over the palace. She didn't know what had happened, which made her even more frightened.

"I'm fine, don't be afraid, I'm glad I'm back." Xu Yixing checked Siqin and asked the court doctor to check her pulse before urging her to rest. This child has suffered a lot.

There were only Lu Anyuan and her left in the hall. The joy of reunion after a long separation was gone, and even the sympathy and tacit understanding they had when they first met in the afternoon had disappeared, creating an indescribable weird atmosphere.

In the end, it was Lu Anyuan who spoke first: "I'm sorry." It included many things, such as colluding with his own father to betray your father, keeping you locked up in a secret room for a long time, and why he didn't tell you in advance that the Emperor's Sword had been handed in.

But thousands of words were stuck in my heart, and I could only utter three words, which had no weight at all.
