After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Meeting Xiao Yuheng's sharp gaze, Concubine Jia patted her chest.

He walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and started drinking it.

"I didn't go to the autumn hunt, why did you arrange the assassination?!"

Xiao Yuheng stared at her closely, his voice cold.

This assassination was originally a show staged by the two men in order to win the sympathy of the emperor and successfully enter the court.

He did not go on the autumn hunt this time, but she still carried out the plan without authorization.

Concubine Jia paused while holding the teacup.

She knew he was here to call her to task.

"Why so many whys? Don't you understand my thoughts?"

Concubine Jia shrugged indifferently.

Xiao Yuheng grabbed her wrist and the teacup in his hand fell to the carpet with a thud.

"Do you know that Xiao Yujing found out about the Lingyun Guards this time? After Xiao Yujing's confidants arrived, the dozen Lingyun Guards stationed in the west of the city were forced to commit suicide by taking poison!"

Xiao Yuheng pulled Concubine Jia up and held her wrist tightly with his right hand.

"We could have saved no one! If you wanted him to die, you would have had plenty of opportunities in the future, but you used the stupidest method!"

Xiao Yuheng pushed her onto the couch, his chest heaving violently.

Concubine Jia slowly propped herself up and rubbed her red wrist.

"You were originally planning to sacrifice these Lingyun Guards. I was just helping you carry out your plan. Who knew they were so useless?"

"You!" Xiao Yuheng pointed at Concubine Jia angrily.

"Okay, even if you want to kill him, why did you attack Yuyao?!"

"Are you really not afraid of being exposed?!"

"So what?" Concubine Jia sneered, her eyes filled with hatred, "I just want him to have a taste of losing his beloved!"

"He's just a little eunuch. I've already poisoned him. He'll die within two hours. What are you afraid of?"

Concubine Jia looked at Xiao Yuheng with resentful eyes.

"Do you know how disgusting I feel every time I have sex with him?!"

She reached out and slowly stroked Xiao Yuheng's chest, her voice tinged with tears.

"Your Highness, I've had enough. I can't stand it anymore..."

Xiao Yuheng closed his eyes tightly and exhaled deeply.

A hand suddenly grabbed Concubine Jia's jaw and said sternly, "I'm warning you, be quiet recently. If anything goes wrong again, don't blame me for being cruel!"

After saying that, he pushed Concubine Jia away and left through the window.

Watching Xiao Yuheng's back as he left, Concubine Jia clenched her hands into fists, her lips turned pale, and a line of tears ran down her face...

Xiao Yuheng quietly returned to Yonghe Palace, where the guards on duty were still sleeping.

"Your Highness..."

Eunuch Liu saw the anger on Xiao Yuheng's face and hurried forward to pour him a cup of tea.

Xiao Yuheng held the teacup in his hand, pondering the possibility that the prince would find out about him.

Although only a part of the Lingyun Guards were killed this time, they have now been exposed to Xiao Yujing.

According to Xiao Yujing's methods, the matter will be traced back to him sooner or later.

He had to find a way to transfer the remaining Lingyun Guards...

Not long after, a secret guard entered the hall silently.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have been waiting outside the Nanyan Library for many days, but have not found anyone from the Jiang family."

Xiao Yuheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Was he overthinking?

He had seen Jiang Ci Yan borrowing books from Nanyan Library more than once before, and he borrowed the same book.

If you say there is no trick, he will never believe it.

Recalling something, Xiao Yuheng asked, "Have you checked the library's borrowing records?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the secret guard's face.

"Forgive me for my incompetence. Yesterday I made an excuse to check the borrowing records, but was told by the library staff that a few days ago a clerk accidentally knocked over a bucket, and the borrowing records for the previous six months were soaked..."

Xiao Yuheng narrowed his eyes. How could there be such a coincidence?

"You can go down." Xiao Yuheng waved his hand tiredly.

After the secret guards left, Eunuch Liu remembered something when he heard them discussing the Jiang family.

"Your Highness, a few days ago I heard that the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Ciyan, was engaged to Feng Yiyun, the daughter of Master Feng."

"What did you say?!" Xiao Yuheng was shocked.

Aren't their two families sworn enemies? How could they be married?!

Moreover, he had originally wanted to marry the girl from the Feng family, but she had been under house arrest for the past month, and he had thought of asking his father for permission to marry her after the ban was lifted.

Although Taifu Feng is a pedantic person, he has a high prestige in the court. If he can be won over, he will be a strong support for him in the court in the future.

But now Jiang Ci Yan has gotten there first.

"Are you sure the information is reliable?"

"It must be correct. Right now all the prominent families in the capital are discussing this matter." Eunuch Liu said.

Xiao Yuheng tightly grasped the teacup, feeling uncontrollably irritated.

Why?

Why is everything always going wrong lately?!

As soon as he came up with a plan in his mind, it would be interrupted by someone.

It was as if someone knew what he was thinking.

What went wrong?

Xiao Yuheng felt uneasy...

-

Amid the lively atmosphere in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Madam Jiang and Jiang Ruoli were summoned into the palace by the Queen.

The palace maid brought the mother and daughter to Kunhe Palace, and Jiang Ruoli finally met the queen in the original book.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, is here to see you."

"Please stand up and take a seat." A gentle and graceful voice sounded.

"Thank you, Queen."

Jiang Ruoli stood up and only then could she see the queen's appearance clearly.

Although the queen is over 40 years old, she has taken good care of herself and is elegant and generous. One can tell at a glance that she was also a stunning beauty when she was young.

He was wearing a graceful and elegant uniform with a golden phoenix pattern. He had a gentle face and a faint smile on his lips. He held a string of jade beads in his hand, twisting them slowly.

In terms of appearance, the prince is more like the queen.

The prince's gentle temperament comes from the queen.

[The Queen is truly a model for the whole nation, with an extraordinary bearing. ]

[Alas, it's a pity that such a good person was killed by the bad guy, the Third Prince, otherwise the Crown Prince wouldn't have gone crazy.]

Mrs. Jiang sat down, secretly frightened.

Your Majesty, the Queen, can't she have a happy ending...

"Princess Leping, I heard that you were very brave in ambushing the assassin in the hunting ground." The queen said with a smile.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Jiang Ruoli replied with her eyebrows lowered.

"If you hadn't saved Yuyao, the consequences would have been disastrous." The queen said gently, "Come here, bring the reward."

After a while, a palace maid came to Jiang Ruoli and Madam Jiang with a tray.

Above are all the jewelry that women like.

"I was in a hurry to prepare, so I don't know what Princess Leping likes. If there is something you particularly like, please tell me and I will have someone fetch it for you."

Jiang Ruoli didn't dare to really ask for anything, and besides, how could the things given by the Queen be bad?

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for the reward." Jiang Ruoli and Madam Jiang hurriedly stood up and saluted.

The Queen asked about Jiang Ci Yan's marriage again, and Mrs. Jiang told her everything.

After a while, there was a message from outside.

"Empress Roufei and Princess Yuyao are here!"
