After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Even someone as cunning as Xiao Yi couldn't help but gasp when he heard Ye Jin's outrageous words...

Xiao Yi looked around the study room warily. Fortunately, he had dismissed the servants before Ye Jin entered the study room. However, he still carefully closed the doors and windows and asked Ye Jin, "Are you telling the truth?"

Ye Jin was extremely confident and said, "Madam is a disciple of the Southern Frontier High Priest. Her divination skills are even more effective than those of the Imperial Master back then. If she says so, then she is right."

The lady that Ye Jin mentioned was just Madam Nan who was temporarily sent out of Kyoto by King Runan!

Xiao Yi was still skeptical and said, "But Madam has been very close to the Queen over the years..."

"That's because Lin Shaoshu needs to keep a low profile. Madam is close to the Queen in order to get information. If Lin Shaoshu wasn't the chosen one, why would Madam write to me and ask me to go to Huaizhou to get to know Lin Shaoshu in advance?"

"I see!"

In order to completely dispel Xiao Yi's suspicion, Ye Jin not only took out the brocade bag left by Madam Nan, but also another item...

It is a bronze nine-headed bird totem!

This is the symbol of the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang!

Xiao Yi suddenly understood and no longer doubted Ye Jin's words.

When he was young, he had experienced the mysterious abilities of the high priest mentioned by Ye Jin, and Madam Nan was not an ordinary woman either.

"If that's the case, it wouldn't be a bad thing for you to marry Lin Shaoshu..."

Xiao Yi said to himself...

Before, Xiao Yi was indecisive because he had not made a decision between Lin Shaoshu and Donggong. But now with Ye Jin's words, Xiao Yi would stand on the side of Lin Shaoshu even if it meant the lives of the entire Marquis' Mansion!

Xiao Yi brought Ye Jin back to Kyoto with the purpose of promoting Ye Jin to a high position.

The situation is clear now. With the right time, right place and right people, the matter between Ye Jin and Lin Shaoshu may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Seeing that Xiao Yi was persuaded by Ye Jin's words, his tense heartstrings loosened, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...

That idiot Xiao Xuetang, I'm afraid she still thinks that what happened today can ruin her reputation as Ye Jin?

Little did she know that all this happened today just to prepare the way for Ye Jin...

After all, Xiao Xuetang would never have thought that Xiao Yi had always stood on her side from beginning to end!

Ye Jin was proud in his heart, but he pretended to be embarrassed on the surface: "I'm afraid it's not that easy..."

"With Xiao Xuetang around, Lin Shaoshu probably won't marry me easily. The only way is... to make Xiao Xuetang disappear completely!"

The candlelight was dim, and there was a cold light in Ye Jin's eyes.

Xiao Yi was silent for a while, then said: "But now, she has the protection of the Regent, it may not be so easy to take action in Shuiyunju."

Xiao Yi's silence just now was not because he couldn't bear to see Xiao Xuetang suffer, or because he cared about the so-called father-daughter relationship, but because he felt that the situation was a bit tricky -

After his affair with Madam Nan was exposed at Huguo Temple yesterday, and the broken engagement at Wenyuan Pavilion today, Xiao Yi clearly realized that Xiao Xuetang, whom he thought was a well-behaved and sensible chess piece in the past, had slipped out of his control and became extremely dangerous.

On this point, his idea coincided with Ye Jin's, which was to get rid of Xiao Xuetang, the unstable factor!

Ye Jin raised a smile and said, "Father, Xiao Xuetang wants to live a peaceful life in Shuiyunju. We should find a way to force her back to the Marquis' Mansion. No matter how cruel Xiao Xuetang is, she can't be so cruel to her own mother and brother who is born of the same mother!"

Even though Ye Jin still had some affection for Xie and Xiao Yu before, after these incidents, both of them actually stood on Xiao Xuetang's side!

Since they were the ones who betrayed first, don't blame her for being cruel...

Ye Jin clenched the packet of medicine powder in his hand, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

……

At almost the same time, in an inconspicuous alley in Kyoto, although it was late at night, the lights were still on.

Under the man's black cloak was a snow-white monk's robe, and his long hair was casually draped behind him, making his face, which looked compassionate, look a little more bewitching.

The Buddhist beads he had originally worn on his wrist were casually placed on the side of the table. He was casually playing with the bronze ring in his hand, which was engraved with a pattern of a nine-headed bird.

If Mu Yan and her brother were here at this moment, they would definitely recognize that this is the unique symbol of the Southern Xinjiang royal family!

The people of Southern Xinjiang were called Nanyi by the Dayin people. In ancient times, birds were revered. The royal family of Southern Xinjiang revered the phoenix, and the high priests and the common people used the nine-headed bird as a totem.

Fo Shu was playing with the ring in his hand nonchalantly, looking out the window, as if he was in a daze, or thinking about something else, until he heard a steady sound of footsteps in the corridor.

The man was also wearing a black cloak, almost blending into the night. After entering the house, he took off the cloak, and the face under the cloak was none other than Lin Shaoshu's trusted adviser - Mr. Wen!

Fu Shu glanced at Mr. Wen. The two did not exchange pleasantries. He asked directly, "How is the Third Prince now?"

When Mr. Wen mentioned Lin Shaoshu, a trace of sadness appeared on his face. He said, "After His Highness returned, he fell into a coma. I didn't expect that such a simple matter of breaking off the engagement would be such a big blow to His Highness."

"It seems that it is really as the High Priest predicted. Xiao Xuetang is a disaster! With her around, Your Highness can't accomplish anything. I should have listened to you and killed her earlier. You were too soft-hearted and left behind such a disaster."

At this time, Xiao Xuetang had no idea that Mr. Wen hated her to the core and deliberately broke up her and Lin Shaoshu just because of a prophecy...

This should have been a very absurd thing, but Mr. Wen, who was always shrewd and wise under Lin Shaoshu's command, looked at Foshu with an almost crazy piety.

"but……"

When Mr. Wen looked at Foshu, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and asked: "The priest is far away in the southern border, and she has no grudge against Xiao Xuetang. Why did you kill her?"

Fu Shu played with the ring in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Because of Lin Xun."

"Regent?"

"Anyone that Lin Xun cares about must die!"

A gloomy look flashed across Foshu's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal when he looked at Mr. Wen and said, "Lin Xun is our mortal enemy in Southern Xinjiang. This time I came to Kyoto to join forces with the Third Prince. When the Third Prince ascends to that position, Lin Xun must be handed over to me for disposal."

Mr. Wen's suspicions were slightly reduced, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, High Priest. Once the East Palace is eliminated, the Regent will also be the biggest worry that the Third Prince will eliminate. When the Third Prince takes power, he will have eternal friendship with Southern Xinjiang. By then, the Tianxuan Sect under the High Priest will become the number one sect in Dayin and Southern Xinjiang, and you, High Priest, will become the uncrowned king..."

The candlelight flickered, and Foshu's face, which had always been expressionless, now flashed with the light of ambition.

No one knew that just three years ago, the relationship between Southern Xinjiang and Dayin was at its worst and the two sides were at war, and the chief priest of the Tianxuan Sect in Southern Xinjiang bypassed the border and went to Kyoto just to meet the third prince Lin Shaoshu.

Three years later, tonight, the two sides finally reached a consensus...
