The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

White phase study.

With his back to everyone, Bai Xiang's deep eyes were fixed on the paintings in the study.

The captain of the guard and the manager looked at each other in bewilderment. Under the intense pressure, a thin layer of sweat broke out on their backs.

After a long time, Bai Xiang, who had not spoken a word, said quietly: "How is Yu Xin now?"

The steward calmed himself down and said, "My Lord, the young lady is fine. Madam and Young Madam are with her all the time."

Bai Xiang nodded slightly in his heart. Yuxin was always a calm and opinionated child.

An ordinary person would have been frightened by what happened last night, but only Yu Xin could remain calm.

Thinking of what happened last night, Bai Xiang's anger slightly leaked out: "Is there still no result for what happened last night?"

The captain of the guards knelt down immediately and said, "Please forgive me, my Lord. The man who came here was very experienced and quickly dealt with the secret guards around the young lady's yard without leaving any traces. I and others have not found any clues yet.

However, the Duke of Song's Mansion might have been involved in what happened last night."

The fact that the two legitimate daughters of the Duke's Mansion, Song Yanglan and Song Yangqi, were bitten by snakes in the Bai Mansion was no longer a secret. Not only among the people in the mansion, but even outside, the news had already spread like wildfire.

Frowning, Bai Xiang turned around and faced the people in the room, staring coldly at the captain of the guards in front of him: "You mean, Song Hongwen mobilized all the forces of the Duke's Mansion and knocked out the secret guards just to put two snakes in the young lady's room?"

If his captain of the guards only had this level of intelligence, how could Bai Xiang feel at ease? It would be better for him to resign as soon as possible and replace him with someone else.

If it were under normal circumstances, perhaps relying on the connections that the Duke of Song's Mansion has accumulated over the years, he could barely enter the Bai Mansion without leaving a trace.

But now is the critical moment of the wedding, and Bai Yuxin's safety is the most important thing in the mansion. Just for the open and secret guards, Bai Xiang has more than doubled the manpower.

Under such circumstances, there are not many forces that can break into the Bai Mansion quietly, and the Duke of Song's Mansion is definitely not one of them.

If the Duke of Song's Mansion still had such power, it would not have been gradually moving away from the center of power in the capital for so many years and had to rely on a woman to maintain its glory.

The captain of the guard trembled slightly and knelt down quickly: "Please forgive me, sir. I hope you will give me another chance."

"After the wedding, go get the board yourself."

After saying that, Bai Xiang waved his hand slightly, signaling the people in the room to leave.

When the captain of the guard heard the prime minister's ultimatum, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Having been with the Prime Minister for so many years, the captain of the guard knew very well that since the Prime Minister had already made a decision on the matter, the matter was over.

Fortunately, even with such a big incident, I was able to keep my position as captain of the guard.

Oh, God, please show some mercy and stop tormenting me.

The reason why the captain of the guard was not punished this time was not because Bai Lu was merciful to him. It was because the situation inside and outside the palace was complicated and no one could take over smoothly for the time being.

In other words, now is not the time to change players.

After everyone had left the room, Bai Xiang sat down on a chair beside him, leaning back with one hand on his head, deep in thought.

Who on earth wants to take advantage of this opportunity to muddy the waters in the capital?

Apparently, the captain of the guard's prayers did not soften God's heart, or rather, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the man behind the scenes, did not want to stop so soon.

In the following days, under the detailed planning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the forces of the Bai family in the capital were destroyed one by one. Even though the government knew that this was the Bai family's property, it did not escape.

Coincidentally, with the emergence of a series of corrupt officials, the Bai family's influence in Jiangnan has also suffered a considerable blow in recent days.

Huo Xuan rushed into the Crown Prince's study excitedly: "Your Highness, we got it!"

During this period, all matters dealing with the Bai family were handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with Huo Xuan assisting.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled silently in his heart as he sat on a desk half the height of a man. Although his cousin had been living a life of luxury since childhood, he had picked up the ways of a bandit since he went to the battlefield. He looted property like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing behind.

"Really? Congratulations."

Huo Xuan entered the study, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it down in one gulp, and then continued: "Your Highness, you don't know that the Bai family is too shady!

The treasures collected in the past few days alone are enough to cover the expenses of the Huo family army for a year."

Yuan Ruiyuan did not pause in his movements, and said without even raising his head: "These few days are just minor fights. Do you think the Bai family has been in charge of Jiangnan for so many years just for free?

Jiangnan is the money bag and grain bag of the Tianyuan Dynasty."

If the issue in Jiangnan is not resolved, it will be as if a sword is hanging over the heads of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of England at any time, strangling the lifeblood of the Huo family army.

Huo Xuan's face was filled with rare excitement: "Your Highness, this time we must drag the white thief down from Jiangnan!"

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could take control of Jiangnan, the Huo family army would not have to worry about food and grass problems every year!

Rubbing his head, Yuan Ruiyuan looked at the passionate Huo Xuan and said, "The situation in Jiangnan is complicated and is no less complicated than that in Beijing.

We have been planning for a long time to deal with the Jiangnan issue, and we must achieve victory in one blow!"

Ever since he learned the secret order from Prime Minister Bai's study, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that the Bai family was a chess piece that could rebel at any time. It was also from that time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to lay out the chess game in Jiangnan.

Now, the chess game has begun, and it depends on who has the better skills.
