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

Xiao Shiqi's words were like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears!

After hearing what Xiao Shiqi said, Xiao Xuetang reacted instantly: "No wonder Mu Xingyun said just now that the secret letter is not important, but the person who delivers the letter is important. So that's it..."

It was Mu Xingyun again, who implicated Xie Lanruo and the Xie family!

Xie Lanluo, who was standing nearby, jumped up in shock, and said in disbelief, "The Eastern Palace is plotting a rebellion? This... His Majesty has only been in Jiufan Mountain for two days, and the capital has already fallen? How could the prince be so powerful!"

"Also, why did my eldest brother come to Jiufan Mountain? Is he injured? You must not let mother know about this!"

Unexpectedly, just as Xie Lanluo finished speaking, there was a "click" sound behind them. Their conversation was heard clearly by Su who came into the room to bring them snacks.

Su's face turned pale, and she almost fainted, "Lan Ruo, what happened to Lan Ruo?"

Xie Lanluo knew that she had gotten into trouble, so she quickly supported Xie and said, "Mother, calm down. Big brother... Big brother should be fine..."

Then he looked at Xiao Shiqi.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shiqi hurriedly consoled her, "Madam, don't worry. The eldest son was only slightly injured. The imperial physician has examined him and he is fine."

After hearing this, Su, who was originally frightened, felt relieved a little, but then she thought of Lin Xun, and her heart ached again.

Colluding with the crown prince to plot treason is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan. Even the regent cannot be pardoned!

Can……

After spending some time with Lin Xun, Su found that he was not an ambitious and treacherous official as rumored.

On the contrary, although there were misunderstandings between Lin Xun and the Xie family back then, her father-in-law, Old Master Xie, had a high opinion of Lin Xun and called him a young hero.

There are also the brothers Xie Yuhong from the Xie family. Even though they looked down upon Lin Xun, if Lin Xun was really not a good man, the betrothal gift they brought that day would never have been able to be carried into the Xie family.

and so……

Su absolutely did not believe that the Regent would really commit treason.

Moreover, the situation in Kyoto is unclear now. If Lin Xun is really implicated in treason, what should Tangtang do?

Just when everyone was at a loss, Xiao Xuetang was still able to keep his composure and asked Xiao Shiqi: "How is Lin Xun now?"

Xiao Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Xuetang was still calm, and then he told him everything that had happened.

"The emperor was furious after hearing what Master Xie said and put the master under house arrest."

Xiao Shiqi was worried that Xiao Xuetang would not be able to accept it, so he added: "But the master told the young lady not to worry, nothing will happen, and don't act rashly."

But Xiao Xuetang couldn't listen at this time.

Her heart sank when she thought that this was all a trap set by Mu Xingyun and Lin Shaoshu. She didn't expect that the situation she was most worried about would happen!

No matter how much Emperor Yonghui trusted Lin Xun, if Lin Xun really did something disloyal, no emperor would tolerate it...

In other words, even if Emperor Yonghui wanted to depose the crown prince and enthrone Lin Xun, all this needed to be based on the fact that Emperor Yonghui was proactive and voluntary, rather than being forced.

Mu Yan's face was also gloomy. "The East Palace's conspiracy has not yet been concluded. How can even the prince... and the emperor has always trusted the regent, how can he now convict the regent based on just one word from the eldest son of the Xie family?"

Speaking of this, a sharp light flashed in Mu Yan's eyes.

It was no wonder that Mu Yan was so excited. After all, she had completely torn her relationship with Mu Xingyun by joining Lin Xun. Mu Xiao and the others had already returned to southern Yunnan. If Lin Xun made any mistakes in the court, without Lin Xun as a backer, southern Yunnan would fall into the hands of Mu Xingyun again, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Under Mu Yan's sharp gaze, Su and Xie Lanluo were both anxious and confused...

Xie Lanluo said: "Although my brother doesn't like the Regent, he won't put the Regent to death. Could there be any misunderstanding?"

After the words fell, no one spoke for a moment, and everyone subconsciously looked at Xiao Xuetang.

Now that Lin Xun is under house arrest and Xie Lanruo is implicated, the situation is very complicated.

If there is anyone who can unravel such a complicated situation and make sense of it, it is only Xiao Xuetang.

"There are only two possibilities."

Xiao Xuetang had calmed down and slowly analyzed, "Either someone misled the news, mixed true and false news together, and sent my cousin out of the city to send him out. This is Mu Xingyun's usual method."

Hearing this, Mu Yan also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! When my father was alive, he once said that Mu Xingyun was cunning in his use of troops and liked to use real and fake tricks to confuse the enemy, but..."

When Mu Yan said this, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she asked Xiao Xuetang: "You seem to know my brother very well?"

In fact, Mu Yan had been curious about the relationship between Xiao Xuetang and Mu Xingyun for a long time. She wanted to ask about the relationship between Xiao Xuetang and Mu Xingyun several times, but Xiao Xuetang interrupted her.

Xiao Xuetang sneered when he heard Mu Yan's curious voice. A subtle look flashed in his eyes as he said, "No one in the world knows him better than me..."

She and Mu Xingyun have been enemies for two lifetimes. Just as she understood Mu Xingyun well, she knew that he would use the trip to Jiufan Mountain to cause trouble, so she played a trick on him. Mu Xingyun also understood her...

Mu Xingyun knew clearly that what Xiao Xuetang couldn't let go of the most now was the Xie family, but Mu Xingyun dragged Xie Lanruo into this conspiracy and forced Xiao Xuetang to make a choice!

If Xiao Xuetang looks for evidence to clear Lin Xun's innocence, then Xie Lanruo will be charged with framing the prince and deceiving the emperor; if Xiao Xuetang does nothing, then Lin Xun's situation will be very bad.

No wonder, after hearing that last night's assassin had been replaced, Mu Xingyun reacted so calmly. It turned out that he still had another trick up his sleeve.

But can such a meticulous plan be accomplished by Mu Xingyun and Lin Shaoshu alone?

Xiao Xuetang vaguely felt that she seemed to have overlooked something...

At this moment, Xie Lanluo asked, "Tangtang, what is the second possibility you mentioned?"

Xiao Xuetang's face darkened, and after a moment he said, "That means something happened to the Xie family! My cousin must have some evidence against him, and Mu Xingyun got it, so he had to give false testimony..."

Just as everyone was talking, the secret guard of the palace came over and whispered a few words in Xiao Shiqi's ear.

Hearing this, Xiao Shiqi's face suddenly changed, and he said, "I'm afraid things are worse than the master imagined..."

Without Xiao Xuetang asking, Xiao Shiqi had already taken the initiative to talk about what had happened: "Just now, the informant from the Qinzheng Palace sent news that the emperor has sent Qi Shaoqing to lead people to Kyoto to investigate the situation in Kyoto and whether the rebellion is true. In addition, in order to avoid changes, the emperor has asked the King of Yue to take the tiger talisman to the nearby Youzhou to dispatch troops... If Qi Shaoqing does not return before noon tomorrow, then the emperor will order Mu Xingyun to lead the army to escort the emperor back to Kyoto..."

Once Mu Xingyun gains the military power and gives orders to the three armies, it is equivalent to handing everyone's lives and property into the hands of someone like Qi Yusheng, and then everything will be too late.

Now that Lin Xun was under house arrest, they only had less than twelve hours left...
