Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Unlike Emperor Tianqing who let things take their own course, Xie Chengyin was not happy to see the Xiao family gain more power.

In their previous life, the tragic ending of the Yongding Marquis Mansion was caused by the Xiao family.

In order to support Prince Xiang to ascend the throne, Xiao Chengzhang successively won over two-thirds of the civil and military officials in the court. General Fang Yanjin, the brother of Fang Suhua, who was chosen by Emperor Tianqing when the Crown Prince was choosing a concubine, was a representative of the military officials who were won over.

In addition to inheriting the title of Marquis of Yongding, his elder brother Xie Chengyi also served as the fifth army commander in the Huwei Army.

The immediate boss has become Xiao Chengzhang's man. If the subordinates do not follow the crowd, they will be ruthlessly suppressed or even killed silently.

Xie Chengyi is an exception. He is the son of the eldest princess of Jinnan. If he can be won over, he will never want to make an enemy of him.

Xiao Chengzhang's way of winning over Xie Chengyi was to marry him to another. Just as his eldest daughter Xiao Yizhen married Shen Zhaoyan, he married his second daughter Xiao Yizhui to Xie Chengyi.

But Xie Chengyi is a loyal minister. He has his own persistence and will not change his heart because of external forces.

Therefore, even if he married Xiao Yizhui, he would not become a pawn at the mercy of Xiao Chengzhang.

Xiao Chengzhang also understood this, so on the day of the wedding, the flourishing Yongding Marquis Mansion was ruthlessly devoured by a fire.

Exactly the same ending as Hua Cijing.

But the difference is that Yongding Hou Xie Chengyi and his bride Xiao Yizhui were buried in the sea of ​​fire together.

After experiencing Hua Cijing's death on his wedding day, Xie Chengyin certainly would not think that this was just an accident.

But at that time, he had spent half his life as a gangster, and thought that as long as his brother was around, he didn't have to worry about anything.

When his brother died, he could do nothing but cry.

He even wanted to sacrifice himself, but in Xiao Chengzhang's eyes, he was nothing.

He also regarded Xiao Chengzhang, who had lost his beloved daughter, as the only person he trusted.

He lost his brother, and Xiao Chengzhang lost his daughter, they also lost their loved ones. Someone who understood his pain and was willing to help him find the truth became the pillar of his second half of life.

Little did he know that the real murderer was right in front of him and was using him to eliminate dissidents.

It was not until Shen Zhaoyan ascended the throne and he lost his value that he finally saw through the hypocritical face of Xiao Chengzhang.

The prime minister of a country is cunning and good at planning. He is a man who is willing to sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of a greater cause.

Unfortunately it was too late.

He died on New Year's Eve of the first year of Tiancheng, and the whole country celebrated when the new emperor ascended the throne.

In a corner of darkness, he glared angrily at Xiao Chengzhang, who was standing on the city wall behind Emperor Tiancheng Shen Zhaoyan and served as prime minister for two dynasties, and took his last breath.

When he woke up again, it was already the fifth day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year of Tianqing, and it was the day when Prince Xiang got married.

He originally wanted to find out the truth, but later discovered that the truth was no longer important to him. He only wanted the people he loved to live and the people he hated to die.

Now things are developing just like in the previous life. Prime Minister Xiao is marrying his eldest daughter to Shen Zhaoyan. Knowing the outcome, how could he let them succeed?

That night, Xie Chengyin, dressed in night clothes, traveled through the darkness from Songyaji all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Bang bang bang, the weather is dry, be careful with fire!"

The night watchman walked along the dark road, holding a lantern in one hand and striking a clapper with the other, leaving his swaying shadow behind him.

Xie Chengyin flashed from the dark corner, jumped onto the roof and ran quickly.

Originally, he had very poor martial arts skills. When he was young, he loved to play and was afraid of hard work and fatigue, so he never learned any real skills. Later, in order to find the murderer who killed his brother, he began to practice hard, but ended up becoming a tool for Xiao Chengzhang to eliminate dissidents.

There was a curfew in Daxing State. After midnight, there were no pedestrians on the streets except for the night watchman who walked around once an hour.

Xie Chengyin had already memorized the road leading to the Prime Minister's Mansion by heart, and in just a moment, he had arrived outside the mansion's wall.

The courtyard wall stands tall, giving endless sense of security to those sleeping inside.

But no matter how high the courtyard wall was, it was no problem for Xie Chengyin. He jumped lightly and entered the prime minister's residence, and the servant guarding the door not far away was not alarmed at all.

Outside the other half of the courtyard wall, Yan Ci was also wearing night clothes, carefully looking for a way to enter.

She is not Xie Chengyin. She no longer has the ability to climb walls and run on rooftops, and she is also afraid of heights. She is really afraid that it is easier to climb up the wall than to climb down.

So to be on the safe side, she decided to think of another solution.

As everyone knows, all such high-walled courtyards are guarded by wolfhounds. As long as there are dogs, there must be dog holes. She searched under the wall for a long time and finally found a medium-sized dog hole in a corner.

She stuck her head out and tried it, and it worked.

Although her body has disadvantages such as being weak and afraid of heights, its advantages are also obvious.

She has a delicate and soft body, and is pretty and lovely.

It's effortless to dig a dog hole.

Even the little dog lying and sleeping opposite the dog hole was stunned and forgot to bark when he saw someone (or was it a dog?) crawling out of his exclusive passage.

Suddenly he came to his senses and realized that someone was invading. He opened his mouth to scream, but a big and delicious piece of fat was stuffed into his mouth.

This person also knows how to bribe him, but it doesn't matter if he orders after he finishes eating.

While eating, the little dog lay down.

Yan Ci took the half piece of fat meat that had not been eaten from the dog's mouth, wrapped it up and stuffed it into his arms, making sure not to leave any traces.

Her purpose was different from Xie Chengyin's. She came here to attack Xiao Yizhen.

The man who killed her still wanted to marry again, but it all depended on whether she agreed or not.

The entire prime minister's residence was immersed in a quiet and peaceful night. Occasionally, a patrolling guard would walk around the front yard, and then go back after a stroll, some too tired to open their eyes.

Xie Chengyin walked directly to Xiao Chengzhang's room with a purpose, while Yan Ci was not familiar with the Prime Minister's Residence, so he went around a few circles and ran to the East Courtyard.

Xiao Chengzhang was a cautious person. Although he had servants patrolling at night, they would often be lazy, so he set up a mechanism in his room himself.

The first one is the sharp arrow that will be triggered when the door is opened.

Xie Chengyin was about to go through the window. He pushed open a corner of the window with ease and prepared to go in.

There was a slight creaking sound, followed by the sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the air.

His expression froze and he quickly dodged. Could it be that the old guy Xiao Chengzhang had even set up a mechanism on the window? He was so careful.

But he didn't see the arrow. When he turned around, he saw another man in black frantically dodging the sharp arrow at the door.

Xie Chengyin:? ?

Did you meet an accomplice?

Yan Ci was indeed a little panicked inside. Although she had been training hard these days to make her frail body stronger and more flexible, she had no actual combat experience to see to what extent she could achieve.

Now two sharp arrows suddenly flew out, and she could only dodge in panic, but still couldn't avoid being scratched on the arm.

It hurts so much!

In the past, she had licked blood from knife wounds and wrapped herself in horsehide, but she never cried out in pain. Now, she was in so much pain from just a small cut that she started cursing.

This body must be too fragile. It can't even bear this little pain.
