Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

"Your Highness is too polite. I only heard about the incident on Chaomu Mountain from my subordinates at this time. Besides, the Patrol Battalion is responsible for the security of the capital. Although Your Highness got into trouble outside the city, the Patrol Battalion also has the responsibility to rescue him. Besides, the prince escaped from danger by his own ability, and the Patrol Battalion was just there to clean up the mess."

Xie Qingnian waved his hands, showing no intention of taking credit for anything.

"That being said, we also borrowed the help of the patrol battalion, so we should thank them."

Shen Xuanheng raised his glass, and Xie Qing also picked up the wine cup and drank from it.

Putting down the wine glass, Shen Xuanheng sighed and said slowly: "I went to the palace a few days ago and met the emperor. He was still as gentle as before, but his hair was a lot whiter."

"We are old. We are all old."

Xie Qing poured himself another glass of wine and drank it.

Shen Xuanheng pretended to be nonchalant and said, "The emperor is indeed old. I heard that the two princes in the palace have also begun to recruit followers to fight for the throne. Does Lord Xie plan to fight for the credit of following the emperor?"

Xie Qing laughed when he heard this, and reached out to tap Shen Xuanheng, "You have been holding it in for so long, but you mainly want to ask this question, right? Tell me, which prince are you lobbying for?"

"again?"

Shen Xuanheng keenly grasped the key.

Xie Qingnian nodded, "Yes, the first and third princes have sent no less than ten people to lobby me over the past month, hoping that I, an old man, can participate in the party struggle. If you are here for this reason, I advise you not to say anything. I am an old man, and I have no one to succeed me. I don't have the heart to fight for fame and fortune."

Hearing this answer, Shen Xuanheng was immediately relieved. Since Xie Qing had no intention of seizing the throne, he naturally could not be the Third Prince's man.

This time, it is inferred that the only problem may be the Sultan?

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I just mentioned it casually. I am not a lobbyist. To be honest, at the Queen's birthday banquet today, the eldest prince tried to win me over, but I declined."

After listening to Shen Xuanheng's explanation, Xie Qing nodded with satisfaction, "That's pretty good."

Shen Xuanheng's eyes turned, and then he asked casually: "Why didn't the Marquis come to the palace to celebrate the birthday today, but sent your little commander Sultan to the palace?"

Xie Qing paused holding the wine glass, and said in confusion: "I really don't want to join in the fun today, but I didn't send anyone into the palace. Did His Royal Highness make a mistake?"

Shen Xuanheng narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong. Forget it, let's not talk about these trivial matters, let's drink."

After some probing, Shen Xuanheng was certain that there was something fishy about this Sultan. He would have to find a way to find out his background, what his purpose was, and who he was helping.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Time goes back to an hour ago. After Su Xuqing separated from Shen Xuanheng, she took a carriage back to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion alone.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Su Xuqing showed an unhappy look on her face, because she saw Duke Su and Zhao waiting at the door with expressions as if they were ready to accuse her.

"You little ungrateful bastard, you're finally back!"

Zhao's expression was grim. She quickly got off the eunuch and walked towards Su Xuqing, pointing her finger.

"It's all because of your evil mind, you little bitch, that your father and I have no place to live. Now you have to give us an explanation."

Su Xuqing slapped her hand open and said coldly: "Do you want to be ashamed? You are greedy and broke the Queen's Phoenix Feather. Now you have lost your title and mansion. You still have the nerve to blame me? I haven't settled the score with you for my dirty tricks!"

Anyone with a sense of shame would feel ashamed to hear these words, but Zhao was obviously not one of them.

"Stop talking nonsense here!"

Zhao shouted at the top of her voice, like an old hen crowing, "I'm telling you, you are the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, so you should sacrifice yourself to save the face of me and your father. You have the support of the Zhen'an Palace, so even if you take the blame, the Queen Mother won't punish you too severely. How can you not even distinguish between the important and the urgent!"

"I'll take the blame for you?"

Su Xuqing looked around and didn't see Su Min'er. "Why don't you let your own daughter take the blame for you? Isn't she also from the Zhennan Palace?"

Zhao was furious when she heard this, "Who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourself to my precious daughter!"

Su Xuqing's eyes darkened, and she raised her hand and slapped Zhao in the face!

Zhao was hit and staggered, almost falling down.

"you……"

Just as Zhao was about to speak, Su Xuqing slapped her in the face again. She said coldly, "Who are you to dare to yell in front of this prince's wife? Oh, by the way, now to use your daughter's words, you are just a mud-legged pariah."

"you!"

Zhao was so angry that her eyes went dark, then she turned her head and stomped her feet.

"Master! Why don't you help me to speak up for her!"

Duke Su turned pale and walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back.

"Qing'er, this is a bit too much. We are a family..."

"Get lost, who are you? Why didn't you think of us as a family when you were framing me?"

Su Xuqing walked around Zhao and walked up the stairs slowly. When she passed by Duke Su, she said coldly, "From now on, I have nothing to do with you. Don't cause trouble here, or don't blame me for being merciless!"

Upon hearing this, Duke Su was so angry that he started cursing!

"You bastard, your conscience has been eaten by a dog. Believe it or not, I will dig up your mother's grave!"

Su Xuqing turned around abruptly, her cold eyes filled with a hint of hostility. She stared at Duke Su viciously and said, "If you dare to make her restless in the underworld, I will make you die restlessly."

Duke Su's face turned pale, "Rebellion! This is outrageous! Do you dare to kill your father?"

Duke Su slapped his chest and tilted his neck back, saying, "Kill me now if you dare, or I will dig up your mother's grave and expose her body in the wilderness!"

A sense of hostility spread from Su Xuqing's heart, and her shoulders trembled slightly, showing how angry she was inside.

It is said that a husband and wife will be together for a hundred days, how could Duke Su say such words and even dig up the remains of his deceased wife? At this moment, Su Xuqing really wanted to tear Duke Su's skin open to see what kind of beast you are hiding!

"Come on! Do you dare?"

Duke Su looked like a tough guy, but he was still shouting.

A silver needle slipped through Su Xuqing's fingers. As long as she stabbed the silver needle into Duke Su's heart, he would surely die.

But at this moment, many people near the Zhennan Palace were looking on. Killing people in the street had a bad influence. Even hereditary nobles could not escape punishment.

Su Xuqing understood the truth, but she just wanted Duke Su to die now.

"Then you will die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xuqing was about to take action.

"Qing'er!"

The old princess shouted coldly, and Su Xuqing trembled her fingers, flicking the silver needle out. However, because she was startled, the silver needle flew to an unknown place.
