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

Concubine Wan just glanced at it and didn't care. Not only did she not care, she also blamed the third prince.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you afraid you won't be discovered? Hurry back here. We're about to take action. You can't run around at this time."

The third prince sneered.

"These are not the people I arranged for these positions. If mother doesn't change the people I arranged before, then I won't do this. I am a prince after all. I don't know about the Mu family's affairs this time."

"When I am released from house arrest, I will still be my father's good son, but the same cannot be said for the Mu family. I don't know whether they will have a good life in exile, but they will definitely not have a good life on the road!"

Concubine Wan's expression changed: "What's wrong with you, kid? That's your maternal grandfather's house."

The third prince sneered.

"If it weren't for my maternal family, they wouldn't dare to extend their hands so far. Anyway, my son has made it clear today that if they don't follow my request, I will definitely not cooperate."

"If you want to force the emperor to abdicate, then go ahead. I'll see who you push to the throne. If you have the guts, push someone from the Mu family to the throne and see if the people of the world agree!"

Concubine Wan was so angry with her son that the two of them started arguing inside. A little palace maid secretly left the room...

Xie family.

After Xie Lingxi got the news, she immediately called all the family members to her father's study, and then said with a smile.

"There is new news. Our plan has been successful. The Third Prince is now arguing with Imperial Concubine Wan about the arrangements. They are having an internal conflict. Time has been temporarily delayed. We just need to wait for His Royal Highness Prince Chen to return with his troops."

Lord Xie, Madam Xie and Xie Zhibai all breathed a sigh of relief. The situation in the capital was really complicated now and their Xie family did not have any military power.

The Mu family's power is complex and intertwined. Just knowing that they have a lot of private soldiers, if they really want to force the palace to rebel, they are no match at all.

Even if we made preparations in advance, we still couldn't prevent it. The main reason was that the strength gap was too great and it couldn't be compensated by tricks.

So we can only delay time temporarily, to have enough time to plan a response plan and wait for Prince Chen to come back.

Now that they are not planning to take action immediately, they naturally have a chance to catch their breath.

Xie Lingxi looked at the expressions of her family members and suddenly spoke.

"I have another idea. I plan to support the Fifth Prince to take the throne and make him the Crown Prince!"

Lord Xie and the others all widened their eyes, but no one objected. After hesitating for a moment, everyone figured out what their daughter meant.

After all, compared with the other princes, the Fifth Prince is obviously more suitable, and their Xie family has a friendship with the Fifth Prince. Even if the Fifth Prince does not value them, he will not do anything to their Xie family, which is good.

As for the Third Prince, the argument with his mother lasted for more than twenty days, and neither side was willing to give in.

The Third Prince could not raise an army without the cooperation of Concubine Wan, and Concubine Wan could not force the emperor to abdicate without the cooperation of the Third Prince.

After all, if she took the lead, it would mean she was plotting to usurp the throne, and no one would support her, so the mother and son were in a stalemate.

The two men were in a stalemate outside the prison, but Prime Minister Mu inside the prison noticed something was wrong.

He did send a message outside to inquire about the situation. After all, it had been so long and there was no movement at all. Prime Minister Mu even suspected that something had happened.

But no news came, so Prime Minister Mu could only wait patiently. However, more than twenty days had passed and there was still no news. That was not right.

He had almost taken out all the money of the Mu family, and it seemed that he could not delay any longer.

What was going on outside? Prime Minister Mu didn't know either, so he had no other options and finally used the last nail, a nail that had been buried in the Dali Temple for many years.

A jailer named Liu.

While cooking, Prime Minister Mu stopped the jailer Liu and wrote a few words on his palm.

After the jailer Liu nodded calmly, he went out of the Dali Temple prison that night to inquire about the news. It would have been fine if he hadn't inquired, but after inquiring, he found out that Concubine Wan and the third prince were having a internal conflict.

Jailer Liu did not dare to delay and immediately told Concubine Wan about Prime Minister Mu's request. No matter what, action must be taken immediately tomorrow night.

Concubine Wan seemed to have a bucket of cold water poured over her head. She realized that she had delayed too long and agreed immediately.

After sending away the jailer Liu, he prepared to find his son and come back to make peace.

The jailer Liu was able to deliver the message smoothly and also received the message smoothly. However, when he returned to the Dali Temple prison from Concubine Wan, he was arrested by two jailers who had been waiting there early.

"Why are you arresting me?"

Jailer Liu tried to remain calm and said with his eyes narrowed.

"Why did you arrest me? Don't you know what's going on?"

Another jailer asked directly: "You got Lao Cai drunk, what did you do secretly?"

Guard Liu gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "My father is sick at home. I'm going back to see him."

The jailer had already seen through his lie and sneered.

"If you don't tell the truth, there are naturally ways to make you speak!"

After saying that, he was about to grab the jailer Liu's clothes and take him away, but who would have thought that the jailer Liu actually bit his tongue and committed suicide!

Both jailers were shocked. It was no use regretting it, so they could only spread the news as quickly as possible.

This news was personally informed to Xie Lingxi by Panshi.

"This is trouble."

Xie Lingxi sighed and stood up.

"Prime Minister Mu is indeed an old fox. He set the nail deep enough. That's why we didn't catch the man in time. It's too late to say anything now. We don't know what news the jailer Liu passed on to Concubine Wan, nor do we know what news Concubine Wan passed back to Prime Minister Mu."

"But no matter what, both sides must have noticed something was wrong. We must make arrangements as soon as possible and lay out the plan in advance. Let's act in advance according to our original plan."

Xie Lingxi said to the rock.

"Panshi, go back and tell the Fifth Prince that he must act quickly. Our Xie family will do our best to help him!"

Panshi said respectfully: "Miss Xie, don't worry, I will definitely convey your message!" After that, he left.

After Panshi left, Xie Lingxi gathered her family members and announced that they would take immediate action. At the same time, Xie Lingxi was a little worried that Ge would be affected, so she simply found an excuse to bring Ge and Master Yang home.

No matter what, you must protect the people you want to protect.

Outside Qingshan County, not far from the capital, a group of soldiers were stationed by a small river to rest.

Si Ling took the roasted pheasant from the fire and walked towards the person not far away, respectfully handing the roasted chicken over.

"Your Highness, it's already been grilled. Please have a bite."

Prince Chen took it and took two bites with a bold but elegant gesture. After swallowing the meat, Prince Chen said.

"We'll take a short rest and then set off immediately. Go over and let them know."

Si Ling said helplessly: "Your Highness, just let everyone rest for a while, they can go back in two days at most."

Prince Chen had a blank expression on his face. He looked at Si Ling seriously and said, "We will set off in a quarter of an hour. Time waits for no one. The one coming from the capital is Legend of the Flying Eagle. It has been a long time since we received the letter. We cannot delay any longer."

Si Ling knew that he could not persuade him, so he could only agree, and then went to inform his men.
