The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Xie Lin's words were sharp.

It can even be said that he was doubting Chu Ren's character and the position of the Zhenbei Marquisate.

But Chu Heyi discovered that when Xie Lin said that, he showed no signs of anger, nor was he deliberately trying to stab her. Instead, it seemed like he was just trying to understand the truth of the matter from her.

For a moment, Chu Heyi seemed to see Xie Lin from her previous life. He never doubted or got angry at her. Even when there were misunderstandings, he would only communicate with her calmly to understand the overall situation.

Maybe he was angry and suspicious, but he controlled himself.

Chu Heyi said: "I'll have someone call Fourth Brother over so we can understand the situation at the time and then make a conclusion."

Chu Ren arrived at Xie's house in the middle of the night. The three of them were in Xie Lin's study, forming a triangle.

Chu Heyi asked, "Fourth brother, what was the result of the last time you helped Third Master Xie deliver a letter to the palace?"

Chu Ren looked at Chu Heyi, then at Xie Lin, feeling very embarrassed.

He thought that he didn't need to respond to Xie Lin on this matter. After a long time, Xie Lin would know that the strategy he proposed was not adopted by the emperor.

If he were asked to tell Xie Lin the emperor's reaction, he would find it difficult to face Xie Lin and convey the emperor's words truthfully, because that would be too cruel.

Therefore, he chose to take the cold approach.

Who would have thought that he would be called to Xie's house today? As soon as he arrived, he knew it must be about that matter.

Chu Ren looked at Xie Lin with great guilt: "I'm sorry, Third Master Xie, the emperor said that your plan could not solve his worries. The letter was opened in front of me, and the emperor answered in front of me. I have never known how to tell you this, so... please forgive my rudeness in this matter, I didn't mean to do it."

Chu Ren felt that the mistake he made was just rudeness, and he had to do so to save Xie Lin's face.

Xie Lin said: "But as far as I know, the strategy I proposed was used by someone under the Prime Minister. That person's name is Lu Kai. He jumped from a seventh-rank imperial censor to the Minister of Personnel, and took my strategy to Xirong. I'm afraid he has already arrived in Xirong by now."

Chu Ren was shocked: "How is that possible? What is your plan?"

Xie Lin: "First, spend a lot of money to bribe the minister of Xirong, and let the minister go to the monarch of Xirong and plead with the monarch to send their generals to support Nanqi, join forces to defeat Daqi, and weaken Daqi's power."

Chu Heyi:?

Chu Ren: ? ?

Xie Lin: "Second, spend a lot of money to bribe a trustworthy person around the monarch of Xirong, and let this person tell the monarch that their general and General Nanqi have been bribed by Daqi. This request for support for Nanqi is to lead troops to surrender to Daqi together with General Nanqi, because Daqi promised Nanqi and General Xirong that if they surrender, they will be granted a title of nobility.

"Third, General Nanqi and General Xirong have always admired each other and have a close relationship. Once this plan is put forward, the monarch of Xirong will surely be furious and will not allow their general to lead troops to support Nanqi."

Chu Heyi continued, "Lu Kai went to Xirong with your plan to bribe the ministers of Xirong and the trustworthy people around the monarch?"

Xie Lin nodded: "According to my subordinates, it is true."

Chu Heyi looked at Chu Ren and said, "Fourth brother, what happened on the day you delivered the letter? Tell me everything in detail."

Chu Ren's face was as pale as a frost-bitten eggplant. He told the emperor everything about the day he entered the palace to see the emperor and met the prime minister.

Chu Heyi took a deep breath and said, "Obviously, the letter was swapped by the Prime Minister."

Chu Ren: "But I saw it clearly. When the Prime Minister fell, he was holding the letter in his hand. After he fell, he presented the letter to the emperor. He never changed it."

Xie Lin said, "There must be someone from the Prime Minister in the Purple Palace. When you all entered the inner room and watched the imperial physician treating the Prime Minister's wound, the letter was swapped."

Chu Ren gnashed his teeth, his eyes suddenly reddened: "He is already the Prime Minister, second only to the emperor, why is he still like this!"

Chu Heyi held his shoulders and comforted him: "Fourth brother, you are simple-minded and did not expect the prime minister to have such a plan. Don't blame yourself too much."

Chu Ren couldn't forgive himself. He looked at Xie Lin and said, "I am guilty. I have ruined your career path. You punish me!"

He bent his knees and was about to kneel down, but Xie Lin quickly stopped him: "Now that things have been made clear, let's not blame each other and fall into the evil schemes of the evil people. The Prime Minister and his men wanted to take away my plan, and they will pay the price for it."

Yes, he tampered with the letters. Anyone who touched the letters would be poisoned and their flesh would rot and take half a year to heal.

If the letter reaches the emperor, he will secretly give the antidote. But if it is someone else... he will leave evidence and wait for the day when he enters the officialdom to dig them out.

Chu Ren was deeply touched by Xie Lin's broad mind: "I am sorry for you this time, I owe you this. If you need anything in the future, just tell me, I will do anything for you, even if it means risking my life."

Xie Lin: "Okay, I'll remember that."

Looking at Chu Heyi, Xie Lin suddenly said: "Marquis Shi'an is not a good man, Miss Heyi, don't choose him."

Chu Ren: ???

Should he go out and hide?

Chu Heyi was also a little surprised. Was Xie Lin jealous?

Her heart couldn't help but beat wildly, but it turned out that she was overthinking, because the next moment Xie Lin pulled out a stack of papers from the desk and handed it to her.

"This is the evil thing done by Marquis Shi'an. Unfortunately, there is not enough evidence. If Miss Heyi chooses him, she will be thrown into a fire pit."

Chu Heyi and Chu Ren gathered together to watch. They were so horrified by the evil deeds of Marquis Shi'an that Chu Ren almost vomited.

Chu Heyi already knew that her contact with Zheng Xiangrong in the past few days was not just contact, but also an attempt to find Zheng Xiangrong's flaws so as to take him down in one fell swoop.

Marquis Shi'an was recommended to the Emperor as her husband before the Third Prince and his wife went to war. She knew that the Third Prince and his wife had ill intentions and would definitely leave her with a big problem.

Of course, maybe it's not just a big problem, there may be something more serious that concerns the life and death of the entire clan.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lin also discovered it.

He even took the initiative to send her such important information.

“If you finish reading it, I will burn it.” Xie Lin said.

Chu Heyi handed the stack of papers back to him. Wangshan took it and burned it in the brazier.

Chu Heyi looked at the fire in the brazier, then looked at Xie Lin's face illuminated by the fire, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: He is so handsome.

"Sister, it's getting late. We should go back."

"Fourth brother, please go out first. I have another question to ask Third Master Xie." Chu Heyi pushed Chu Ren out of the study.

Xie Lin stood in front of the window, the soft moonlight enveloped him, and he was waiting for Chu Heyi's questions.

Chu Heyi walked up to him, her face slightly flushed. She was extremely nervous, but she pretended to be calm and composed.

"Master Xie, you and Zheng Xiangrong have never had any grudges against each other, so why do you suddenly want to investigate him? Is it because you heard that he and I are discussing marriage?"

The moonlight shone in from the window, and the figures of Xie Lin and Chu Heyi overlapped on the ground. Chu Heyi was waiting for his answer for a long time.

But then a girl's gentle voice came from outside the door: "Third Master, can Hongqi take care of you and rest tonight?"

Hong Qi came, and Xie Lin knew that his risky move had produced a huge effect. First, Chu Heyi heard the news and rushed over, and then Hong Qi couldn't wait and came.

This means that Concubine Xie has already heard the news.

He looked up at the moon, which was as silvery as a murderer's.
