The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Si Ling's voice could also be heard from outside the door.

"Your Highness! Something happened!"

After hearing this, Rong Jingchen remained calm, but Xie Lingxi's expression changed immediately.

Seeing this, Rong Jingchen let Si Ling in.

Si Ling entered the room, glanced at Xie Lingxi carefully, walked quickly to the side of His Highness, and then leaned close to Rong Jingchen's ear and whispered something.

After hearing this, Rong Jingchen's expression was no longer calm and became a little ugly.

Xie Lingxi was sitting right next to Rong Jingchen and could see everything clearly. Although she couldn't hear what Si Ling said, she knew that something big might have happened.

As my thoughts wandered, I started to wonder if something went wrong at the border, but the border should have been relatively peaceful during this period in my previous life, and nothing major should have happened, right?

Although Xie Lingxi thought so, she remembered that she had already married into the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion at this time in her previous life. Let alone things happening in such a faraway border area, even things happening in the capital, she was not so well-informed.

So at this moment she stared at Prince Chen with burning eyes, wanting to get an answer, but neither Rong Jingchen nor Si Ling spoke, and the room fell silent in an instant.

Xie Lingxi couldn't stand this atmosphere of passive waiting. She had always been fooled by others in her previous life and really didn't like the feeling of being in the fog, so Xie Lingxi prepared to take the initiative and ask.

"Your Highness, what happened? Is it at the border..."

As soon as Xie Lingxi said this, she regretted it.

It's okay to ask for information, but it seems that I have said too much.

Before Xie Lingxi finished speaking, Si Ling looked over warily and asked with a frown.

"Why would Miss Xie ask that? Do you know something?"

There was a slightly questioning tone in these words.

Rong Jingchen said unhappily: "Si Ling, get off!"

Si Ling's face became serious, and then he said to Xie Lingxi respectfully: "Miss Xie, I know I was wrong."

Xie Lingxi waved her hands embarrassedly.

"It has nothing to do with you. I was just being nosy. Since the Prince of Chen is busy, then I will leave first."

Xie Lingxi felt that it was unnecessary for her to be standing here. Although she asked out of concern, she was not familiar with Prince Chen after all.

The reason why Prince Chen returned to the capital was for his elder brother. He had indeed lost his sense of proportion.

"No need. It's not an important matter. It doesn't hurt to tell you. We are one family after all."

Rong Jingchen suddenly tried to keep Xie Lingxi and said this. Xie Lingxi always felt something was strange.

What do you mean by one's own people?

Some things can be considered as news from one’s own people, but if it is news from the border, especially from the military, you really shouldn’t listen to it, right?

This is what Xie Lingxi thought.

But Rong Jingchen seemed not to notice the hesitation in Xie Lingxi's eyes and spoke directly to Xie Lingxi.

"It is indeed news from the border. Do you know Huangsha Pass? There is a sheep plague outside Huangsha Pass, and the place where the sheep plague appeared is very close to the border of Da Chu. The reason why it was discovered is that a lot of mutton suddenly appeared in the border, and the price was very low."

"Everyone who ate it showed signs of abnormality. The doctor at the border clinic noticed the abnormality and reported it to the local authorities. The authorities then realized something was wrong and sent people to investigate. They found out that there was a sheep plague outside Huangsha Pass, killing a large number of sheep."

"In order to recover their losses, herders outside the pass made the mutton into mutton jerky and sold it at a low price, but the sheep plague has not disappeared yet. Mutton jerky only makes people feel uncomfortable for the time being, but if the sheep plague spreads to Huangsha Pass and Da Chu, I'm afraid there will be big trouble next."

Rong Jingchen told everything in detail, and Si Ling didn't try to stop him. Although he didn't dare to stop him, didn't His Highness say too much?

If this matter were to leak out and be heard by someone with ulterior motives, he would probably deliberately cause trouble, and then there would be internal and external troubles, and Your Highness would definitely be reprimanded by the Emperor.

Xie Lingxi was shocked when she heard this.

Sheep plague?

And it’s just outside Huangsha Pass?

how so!

This kind of thing didn’t happen in my previous life… Could it be that something went wrong in my new life?

As Xie Lingxi was thinking about it, a sudden idea came to her mind.

No! wrong!

A memory suddenly flashed back from deep within her memory, and Xie Lingxi felt a sharp pain in her head, her eyes widened.

She thought of it! That's what happened!

"Lingxi, what's wrong with you?"

Rong Jingchen noticed that Xie Lingxi was sweating profusely, and became a little worried, so he stood up and walked over to show concern.

Xie Lingxi barely regained her consciousness, looked up at Rong Jingchen, and then gave a dry laugh.

"I, I'm fine..."

But she didn't look like she was okay.

Si Ling also stared at Xie Lingxi with suspicion, wondering what was wrong with Miss Xie.

Xie Lingxi looked a little absent-minded.

In fact, she didn't really focus on this because she thought of a small memory that she had forgotten.

It was from the previous life.

It’s just that this memory is not from now on, but from a month or half a month later.

Xie Lingxi couldn’t remember the exact time, but in her previous life, this memory should have been after today.

Xie Lingxi still remembered that the first time she heard about the sheep plague in Huangsha Pass was from the conversation between Xiao Yuanshan and Madam Xiao.

At that time, Xie Lingxi had just married into the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion. She felt guilty about Xiao Yusheng's affairs, so she was very obedient to Madam Xiao Yuanshan.

That day she went there specially to deliver the bird's nest porridge she had cooked herself, but Xiao Yuanshan and Mrs. Xiao were still talking in the house at that time, so it was not convenient for her to go in, so she waited outside.

Then, the faint voices of Xiao Yuanshan and Mrs. Xiao talking were heard from inside the house, and the words Huangsha Pass and sheep plague appeared in their conversation.

But at that time, Xie Lingxi's mind was not on these unimportant things, so she didn't take it to heart.

Therefore, temporary forgetfulness is also possible.

But I didn’t expect that this sheep plague was actually related to Rong Jingchen!

Thinking back now, there seemed to be a lot of regret in Xiao Yuanshan's words when he was talking to Mrs. Xiao.

Although sheep plague broke out at that time, Rong Jingchen reacted very quickly and quickly brought the situation under control.

What did Xiao Yuanshan say at that time? He said that Prince Chen was lucky. If it had been a few days later, the sheep plague would have been out of control. By then, the sheep plague would have spread into the territory of Da Chu, and all the sheep in Da Chu would have died. Rong Jingchen would have lost his position as the God of War and would have been directly demoted from a general guarding the border to a soldier.

His words were full of regret, and there was not a single bit of worry about the sheep plague.

Now that I think about it, that family is really selfish!

It was a pity that he was so obsessed at that time that he didn't realize anything was wrong. Xie Lingxi cried just thinking about how stupid he was.

"Lingxi, are you really okay? You're sweating all over."

Looking at Xie Lingxi's ever-changing expression and the regret that flashed across her face, Rong Jingchen became even more worried and took out his personal handkerchief.
