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

The person Xiao Xuetang met in the teahouse was Mu Han, who had been on good terms with Xiao Yu in Kyoto in recent days!

Mu Han was forced to do so when Ye Jin bribed him to hold Xiao Xuetang hostage on the official road.

Fortunately, Xiao Xuetang let bygones be bygones and gave him and the villagers a way out. In Mu Han's heart, Xiao Xuetang was the great benefactor of him and the entire Zhuyuan Village.

Not to mention, the plague incident later was resolved because Xiao Xuetang generously donated medicine.

So Mu Han returned to Kyoto and the Prince of Runan's Palace with a purpose, but he really wanted to repay Xiao Xuetang.

Mu Han answered all the questions Xiao Xuetang asked.

Xiao Xuetang first asked about the collusion between Xiao Yu and the King of Yue...

"Well, this shouldn't be considered collusion. From what I've seen over the past two days, they seem to be just friends."

Mu Han also noticed that Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yu, brother and sister, seemed to have many prejudices against each other.

But when Xiao Yu mentioned Xiao Xuetang, there was helplessness and doting in his tone. As for Xiao Xuetang, he was only wary and defensive towards Xiao Yu...

"I don't believe it. Xiao Yu must be trying to please the King of Yue and is plotting against me."

According to Xiao Yunni, in her previous life, Lin Shaoshu might not be able to sit firmly on the throne after her death. With the chaos in Kyoto, it is very likely that Lin Xun would eventually support Lin Shaojin as the emperor.

After all, in his previous life, although Lin Shaoshu had many concubines in his harem, he had no children, and the child in her belly...

Thinking of the child she was not destined to have, Xiao Xuetang felt a pang of pain in her heart.

And the biological father of that child is even more of a mystery...

"In fact, I personally think that the person you should be most careful of is the Regent, rather than guarding against Prince Xiao and the King of Yue."

After thinking for a moment, Mu Han finally spoke the truth.

At this time, Xiao Xuetang recalled some past events in his previous life, and his face was a little gloomy. He thought to himself that Xiao Yu was indeed a shrewd man. In his previous life, he wholeheartedly supported Lin Shaoshu. In his new life, he probably knew that Lin Shaoshu might not be able to stay in that position for long, so he simply made friends with the King of Yue in one step.

Just when he was distracted, Mu Han suddenly mentioned Lin Xun...

"You mean Lin Xun, what happened to him?"

It has to be admitted that in this new life, Xiao Xuetang doesn't trust anyone, but Lin Xun and the old princess give Xiao Xuetang an inexplicable sense of security.

So when Old Madam Xiao was insulting the old princess today, Xiao Xuetang was extremely angry, but some scenes at Shuiyunju flashed through his mind.

At that time in Shuiyunju, Xiao Xuetang felt that the old princess and Lin Xun, the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren who depended on each other for survival, were not very close. Even when Nanny Song mentioned them, she seemed hesitant to speak.

Is there really some... misunderstanding between Lin Xun and the old princess?

Xiao Xuetang felt a little strange in her heart, but it was not because she was wary and suspicious of Lin Xun as Mu Han thought, but because...

She wanted to know more about Lin Xun.

At this time, Mu Han didn't know what Xiao Xuetang was thinking. Seeing that Xiao Xuetang didn't say anything, he thought that Xiao Xuetang had listened to his advice, so he said, "Your Highness the King of Yue's mother's family is from the Zheng family. I heard that the Zheng family was kind to the Regent in the past, and the Zheng family was able to become what it is today because of the support of the Regent..."

Mu Han did not dare to say too much, but just reminded Xiao Xuetang very tactfully that Regent Lin Xun was not as simple as he seemed.

Like everyone else, he felt that the Regent was so powerful that he could easily decide the successor to the throne. However, Lin Xun never participated in any party disputes on the surface, but secretly supported the Zheng family.

Mu Han knew that Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun had an unusual relationship, so he reminded Xiao Xuetang to be careful of Lin Xun.

As for whether Xiao Xuetang could listen to his reminder or not, that was one thing. However, when Xiao Xuetang looked at him, she thought of another thing...

"But yesterday, the Regent King recommended you to go to the Imperial Clan Court to investigate the matter of the witch in Southern Xinjiang. Why was that?"

The witch from southern Xinjiang bewitched the prince, which made Emperor Yonghui furious. The case was not handed over to the Ministry of Justice or the Imperial Censorate, but was investigated by the Ministry of Clan Affairs.

After all, this matter is related to the Crown Prince and is very sensitive.

The candidates for this investigation have a lot of room for manipulation. With Lin Xun's ability, it is easy for him to recommend Xiao Yu and Mu Han in without anyone noticing.

After all, both of them are quite talented. One of them won the first place in the imperial examination in Kyoto before he even reached the age of 20.

Now Xiao Yu has returned to Kyoto. If he takes part in the imperial examination next year and gets the first place in the palace examination, he will be the second genius among the children of aristocratic families to get the first place in the top three places since the founding of Dayin!

Before the Xie family fell into decline, everyone thought that the second talented person who won the top three honors in the imperial examination would be a member of the Xie family.

As for Mu Han, although he grew up in the countryside, he has a smart personality and once studied under a martial arts master. His martial arts skills are enough to make him stand out in Kyoto.

These two men, one a scholar and the other a warrior, are both meticulous and have recently returned to Kyoto. They are indeed the best candidates to investigate the affairs of southern Xinjiang.

Lin Xun chose Xiao Yu because Xiao Yu had followed Xie Xuehe to Nanyi and was the person in Kyoto who knew Nanyi better than the Mu Palace. The reason he chose Mu Han was...

Xiao Xuetang wanted to ask about this last night, but she didn't have the chance because Xiao Yu was staring at her.

Mu Han hesitated for a while, but still told the truth...

"I surrender to the Regent."

With a "Puff!" sound, Xiao Xuetang almost spurted out the tea in her mouth. She looked at Mu Han in surprise and said, "But didn't you just tell me to be careful of Lin Xun? Why are you..."

Mu Han said confidently, "The fact that I serve the Regent and the fact that the Regent is not a good person do not conflict with each other."

Xiao Xuetang...

It makes so much sense that it is simply irrefutable.

"But given Lin Xun's personality, how could he believe you so easily? It's simply unbelievable..."

Although Mu Han is indeed a talented person, Lin Xun is not like Lin Shaoshu who needs to demonstrate his own reputation and win people's hearts everywhere.

"Of course, I am of use to the prince. Secondly, I have something that he is interested in..."

"A ring!"

"A ring?"

Xiao Xuetang looked at Mu Han doubtfully.

A hint of mystery flashed across Mu Han's eyes, and then he lowered his voice and said to Xiao Xuetang: "That is not an ordinary ring. It is a blood-stained nine-headed bird bronze ring. It was seized by King Tianji when he wiped out the Tianxuan Sect..."

Xiao Xuetang was already sensitive about Southern Xinjiang and the Tianxuan Sect. When he heard this, he instantly became nervous.

Why did it feel like overnight, all the people and things around her revolved around Southern Xinjiang?

At this moment, she vaguely felt that the so-called truth she had seen in her previous life might just be the tip of the iceberg. It seemed that there were some important things that she had overlooked and forgotten...

what exactly is it?
