Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

At night, the whole street was silent and pitch black. In front of the Su Mansion, two stone lions stood majestically, demonstrating the majesty and dignity of the general's mansion.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep when a coffin was suddenly carried to the door of the Su Mansion, blocking the gate.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of banging on the door.

The concierge heard a knock on the door and opened it. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back and fell to the ground. "Coffin?"

Soon, the Su family also heard the noise and ran out to see what was happening. They saw a coffin lying across the road, blocking their way.

At this time, Su Dehai and Su Xuan heard the noise and rushed over. No one dared to step forward. Su Dehai said coldly, "A coffin is so scary. Go open it."

Su Xuan also found it strange.

He was afraid of an explosion and dared not go forward, so he asked the soldiers of the Su Mansion to go forward and said, "Open it. This general wants to see what is inside."

The soldier bravely opened the coffin and saw a man inside who was beaten to a bloody pulp. The man was probably still dead. The soldier was so scared that he wet his pants, "General, there's a ghost."

Su Xuan walked closer and took a look, but couldn't see clearly. He took a lantern and saw that the person inside looked familiar.

The next moment, he made up his mind, snatched the knife from the soldier, and chopped the coffin open with a fierce blow, and Wu Changshou's body rolled out.

Su Dehai was so frightened when he saw this that he broke out in a cold sweat. "Wu Changshou, how could he be dead? I just met him during the day."

Su Xuan immediately became alert, "Father saw him during the day?"

"In the palace, I asked him to pass on the message to you." Su Dehai said.

Su Xuan said coldly, "Wu Changshou is dead, and was sent to the front door of our Su family. Father, I'm afraid what we did today has been exposed."

Su Xuan had the bodies cleaned up again and looked around, but there was no one in sight.

I saw stones rolling down at the door. It seemed that the person who brought the body was far away and hit the door, making a noise.

Su Xuan followed Su Dehai directly into the study.

Su Dehai asked anxiously, "The wounds on Wu Dehai's body look like he was whipped. Who whipped him?"

Su Xuan said, "It's not ruled out that it was the emperor or the prince. Jiang Fenghua in the palace shouldn't have the ability to kill someone and send him to our doorstep."

"The emperor knows about our attempt to frame Jiang Huai. How is that possible? Xuan'er, your plan is so thorough and has nothing to do with our family. I saw the emperor didn't say anything in the court today. The emperor even rewarded me today and asked me to go to the military camp to help lead the soldiers and teach them battlefield combat experience."

Su Xuan said, "It's the prince. He is warning us not to take action against the Jiang family. Even if the emperor knew that it was our Su family who wanted to deal with the Jiang family, he would not say anything because our Su family has the military power. But the prince is different. He is looking for opportunities to promote Jiang Jinyan everywhere. I'm afraid he wants to use Jiang Jinyan."

Su Dehai frowned, his eyes full of anger, "Does the prince want Jiang Jinyan, a weak scholar, to lead thousands of troops to guard the country for him? Humph, he has only been the prince for a few days, and he wants to take action against our Su family."

Su Xuan said, "There is one more thing. My son only discovered it after returning to Shengjing. The two soldiers around Jiang Jinyan turned out to be from the Cheng family."

Speaking of the Cheng family, Su Dehai didn't even take them seriously. "Cheng Yong has been sick and recuperating at home. This is the emperor's intention. In other words, the Cheng family has long been expelled from the emperor's fold and there is no way they will be reused."

Su Xuan said, "But Jiang Jinyan took them to the border."

Su Xuan also thought about it carefully, "Without the prince's permission, how could the Cheng family go with the army? This can only mean one thing, Xie Shang has begun to guard against our Su family, and he even wants the Cheng family or the Jiang family to take our place.

We originally thought that Xie Shang was the most outstanding of all the princes. Although the emperor had neglected him for many years, he was undoubtedly the emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince. The Su family knew this ten years ago.

Xie Shang was an extremely capable person, and he single-handedly forced the Hu tribe to retreat. At that time, the Su family also vowed to defend the city to the death, but they were still defeated. In the end, the emperor did not give the credit for repelling the enemy to Xie Shang, but gave it directly to the Su family.

That is to say, the Su family is still valued by the emperor. Another reason is that my grandfather died in that battle, and the emperor compensated the Su family by letting father take over the position of general. "

"That's right. Many years later, your father also wanted to give you this position." Su Dehai said, "Xie Shang is the next monarch. We all guessed it right. I just don't know why he doesn't trust our Su family. In fact, if Xie Shang is a smart man, he should not abandon our Su family if he wants to secure the position of crown prince when he first becomes the crown prince, or even the throne in the future."

"Father, Wanwan said that Jiang Fenghua would never be Xie Shang's queen. Xie Shang's queen position belongs to the Su family. But looking at the current situation, I feel that something went wrong. The Jiang family got all the benefits, and Wanwan became the one who was neglected by Xie Shang."

"Wanwan is useless." Su Dehai just felt unlucky. "I picked the most beautiful one, but she is the dumbest. She can't even win a man's heart. What use is she? I have already told Liu'er to bring her daughter over. With the status of our Su family, if the prince wants to choose a concubine, and send him a daughter of the Su family, there will always be a chance."

However, Su Xuan no longer held this hope. Xie Shang already hated the Su family and he would no longer want the Su family's daughter, so he had already made preparations.

Jiang Fenghua returned to the Prince's Mansion and hadn't seen Ye Susu for several days. She was very curious about what Ye Susu was doing in the yard, so she went directly to Ye Susu's yard.

Seeing her coming, Ye Susu quickly stood up and saluted, "I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."

Jiang Fenghua looked at the exquisite and small silver needle on the table and asked, "Is this the silver needle that Butler Cheng made for Concubine Ye Liang?"

"Yes, I haven't had the chance to thank the Crown Princess yet. I like it very much." Ye Susu said respectfully. She also understood a lot of the rules. It seems that the nanny's teaching was not in vain. Ye Susu learned these rules much faster than Su Tingwan.

"That's good." Jiang Fenghua added, "It would be nice to find something you like to pass the time after entering the mansion. I won't bother you anymore."

"I'll see the Crown Princess off." Ye Susu bent her knees slightly.

Jiang Fenghua paused, looked at Ye Susu, and left back to Lanyue Pavilion.

As soon as Hongxiu came in, she knelt in front of Jiang Fenghua, holding a rattan stick in her hand, "Please punish me, Princess Consort. It was because of my carelessness today that I caused such a big disaster." She left the palace with Butler Cheng.

Jiang Fenghua took the cane and hit Hongxiu's palm twice. He said in a deep voice, "You must be punished for the mistake you made today. Hongxiu, do you have any complaints after I hit you?"

"I have no complaints. It's all my fault."

"You have been with me since you were a child, and you are the most prudent in doing things, so I have entrusted all the matters of the mansion to you. Today, you did not check the gift sent by Butler Cheng, which can only mean one thing, that you trust Butler Cheng very much, right?"

Hong Xiu was stunned. "Yes, I didn't guard against Butler Cheng, because I felt that he taught me a lot like a father. Miss, I didn't mean it. I..."

Jiang Fenghua frowned slightly, and did not help her up. "I feel very distressed, and I know you blame yourself a lot, but if I don't punish you today, you will suffer more in the future if you don't remember today's lesson. Not everyone is trustworthy. I have taught you that."

She actually believed Butler Cheng so much, maybe it wasn't just because of this!

Jiang Fenghua sat in the soft chair and fell into deep thought. She wanted to say that feelings were the least valuable and cheapest thing. She had already seen that housekeeper Cheng's son had special feelings for Hongxiu, but Hongxiu was not her, Jiang Fenghua, after all. They had better lives ahead of them.

Lian Ye and Aoxue stood aside, wanting to move but not daring to. They had never seen the Crown Princess be so unkind as today.

"I know I was wrong." Tears welled up in Hongxiu's eyes.

"Get up. It's not entirely your fault for what happened today." Jiang Fenghua finally softened his heart.

The Crown Princess spoke, and Lian Ye hurried forward to help her up, "Hurry up!"

"Thank you, Miss." Hongxiu stood up without any hesitation. If the young lady didn't punish her, she would always feel uncomfortable. She thought about it and realized that since she came to the palace, Butler Cheng had taken care of her in every possible way. Later she found out that Butler Cheng wanted her to marry his son Cheng Feng.
