The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Xue Zhiyi's words made Lu Minchun narrow her eyes: "Niece, please don't say the wrong thing."

He really hated Xue Zhentong for threatening him with his son Lu Yan's life.

He didn't want to give up his youngest son, but he also didn't want to risk the lives and future of his entire family for this. So, he, who was originally wavering between Prince Gong and Prince Sheng, decisively chose to side with Prince Sheng.

It was at this time that he realized that Xue Zhentong, that idiot, didn't even know when his own illegitimate son had joined Prince Sheng's army.

In this way, the people who really hold Lu Yan's life in their hands are not Xue Zhentong, but Xue Tingliu and King Cheng.

Prince Cheng wants him to cooperate with Xue Tingliu and pretend to agree to Xue Zhentong's request, but actually use this matter to set up a trap. Afterwards, Lu Yan will naturally be safe and sound, and Xue Zhentong will be in trouble.

But...how could a little girl know about his plan?

Compared to his shock, Xue Zhiyi was extremely calm. She said softly, "I understand, uncle, you don't believe me. I overheard the news of Lu Yan's death and your cooperation with Xue Tingliu when I was at home. If you don't believe it, you can go and verify whether Lu Yan is still alive."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Lu Minchun's voice was a little hoarse because of excitement.

Xue Zhiyi just said slowly: "Uncle, you should know that the Xue family's legitimate and illegitimate branches are at loggerheads with each other, so Xue Tingliu wanted to use your hand to destroy my eldest brother. I took the initiative to tell you this, what other purpose could I have? It's nothing more than wanting to protect my brother. Besides that, I also hope that uncle can help me fight back against Xue Tingliu."

Having just learned of the loss of his beloved son, Lu Minchun clenched his hands on the table into fists and shook violently: "Why?"

"The Rong family has a grudge against your uncle for killing his son." Xue Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't you want to avenge Lu Yan?"

Lu Minchun said nothing.

He had already boarded Prince Cheng's pirate ship at this time. If he turned against him and surrendered to Prince Gong, it would be too late. On the one hand, he had offended Prince Cheng, and on the other hand, there was no bigger tree to protect him. He could only wait for death.

Unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyi revealed what he was thinking: "This is your chance to choose your side again. I hope you won't miss it."

“You…” Lu Minchun was stunned: “Prince Gong also knows about it?!”

Xue Zhiyi smiled but said nothing.

Lu Minchun felt a chill all over her body... No wonder everyone wondered why Prince Gong would choose such an ordinary woman as his princess. Now it seems that this woman is too terrifying. Perhaps one day, she will become an important force in Prince Gong's bid for the throne.

Xue Zhiyi smiled and said, "Your Highness hopes that your uncle will choose the right tree to inhabit and not hurt Your Highness's feelings."

Seeing Lu Minchun was silent in deep thought, Xue Zhiyi stood up and said, "I am sorry for disturbing you from listening to the music today. I will take my leave now. Please make a decision as soon as possible. I have the leverage you need to defeat the Rong family and avenge Lu Yan. It depends on your decision."

After saying that, she turned and left in the frightened gazes of Qiuyun Suyue, Yan Gui and the other two.

After leaving the house, Xue Zhiyi said to Yan Gui, "Tell Lin'an Hou everything that happened today. I have been away for a long time today, so I will not see him. Thank him."

……

In order to avoid being seen by the Xue family, they did not take the carriage today.

Walking on the road, Qiuyun and Suyue were hesitant to talk. After walking for a long time and returning to Jiangxuexuan, Suyue covered her chest and dared not speak loudly: "Oh my God, my hands are shaking..."

Qiuyun also asked her: "Miss, are you involved in any trouble?"

Xue Zhiyi just smiled comfortingly: "Don't be so surprised, you will get used to it in the future."

"In the future?!" Su Yue was shocked: "Miss, will you still do these things in the future?!"

Xue Zhiyi didn't answer, but just lay lazily on the chaise longue: "You guys should take a break too, you really exhausted me today."

She asked them to close the door so that she could close her eyes and rest for a while, but she fell asleep without realizing it.

When I woke up again, it was already dusk.

The afterglow of the evening sun shone through the window lattice onto her face, making her feel as if time was a little blurry.

Xue Zhiyi rubbed his head. He felt weak and uncomfortable after sleeping for too long during the day.

She seemed to dream of someone. That person came from her memories of her previous life, some scattered and broken fragments, with a blurry face and figure.

But she didn't know whether she was still asleep or what, she seemed to see the vague figure in her dream...

There was no light in the room at this time. She saw a man in red sitting at a table not far away, leaning his head and looking at her.

Immediately, the tiredness in Xue Zhiyi's eyes disappeared, and he sat up with a start.

But then he heard that person laugh: "Awake? Xue Zhiyi."

Blinking her eyes, she saw the person in front of her clearly and laughed angrily: "Marquis Lin'an is so elegant that he came uninvited. He must have done so many things to get into other people's houses that he must be very good at it."

Perhaps because he had just woken up and was not fully conscious yet, Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction with Huo Wuyou.

What kind of good man would dare to break into a girl's boudoir like this? It's unheard of.

Xue Zhiyi usually seems to be respectful and polite, but in fact he is weird. At this moment, he rarely concealed his emotions, like a furious cat slave.

Huo Wuyou felt that Xue Zhiyi was very interesting at the moment, and regardless of the scolding he had just received, he sat down next to the chaise longue: "Don't be angry, I came to see you for something very important, but I didn't expect that you would sleep so soundly in broad daylight. I am not the kind of rude person who would disturb your sweet dreams, so I had to follow the example of Cheng Men Li Xue, how considerate?"

"..."

So shameless.

Xue Zhiyi had no intention of arguing with him, so he just asked him, "I wonder if the Marquis of Lin'an has anything important to say?"

Speaking of this, Huo Wuyou finally looked serious: "The matter you told me last time has come to fruition."

"Oh?"

Xue Zhiyi didn't react for a moment to what he was talking about. He just straightened his collar slightly, sat up straight and listened to him.

Huo Wuyou saw through it at a glance: "I know what you didn't remember."

He lowered his voice and said, "Wutan Zun, there is a result."

Xue Zhiyi frowned: "How?"

With a sneer, Huo Wuyou said, "That Wu Tan Zun is indeed poisonous. It is a chronic poison from the Northern Di people. They knew that my grandmother loved to practice calligraphy, so they put the poison in the Wu Tan Zun. That way, she would be eroded by the poison little by little over a long period of time."

His eyes turned colder. "It's just that the people who poisoned are very smart. They know that if they put some poison in the black sandalwood jar that can continue to diffuse for several years, it will be discovered sooner or later. So they changed their method. As long as someone drops a few drops of poison on it from time to time, the tampered black sandalwood jar will absorb the poison and then slowly diffuse it. The poison can only last for a few days after a few days, and there will be no evidence at all."

Xue Zhiyi frowned: Sure enough, it was almost the same as she guessed. The reason for the sudden death of the empress dowager in the previous life was indeed related to the black sandalwood jar.

Suddenly, Huo Wuyou snapped his fingers in front of her: "Don't be in a daze, guess who poisoned her? You have seen that person before."

Xue Zhiyi was startled by the snap and said, "I've seen it before?"

That person is from Jianzhang Palace, how does she know who it is?

"Can't guess it?" Huo Wuyou smiled proudly: "It's Shi Qi."

"Is it her?" The female official beside the Queen Mother, who seemed quite smart that day.

Huo Wuyou shook his head regretfully: "I didn't expect that after being a royal attendant to my grandmother for so many years, and being only one level lower than Chai Yue, the palace lady-in-chief, I would end up being a spy. It's really surprising."

Looking at Xue Zhiyi, he asked again: "Guess again, who is Shi Qi's master?"
