The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

In his previous life, Xiao Duo led an army to force the emperor to abdicate, but was suspected of treason and was ordered to be executed by Emperor Jingping. The only ones left who could compete for the position of crown prince were the third prince Xiao Chang, the fourth prince Xiao Chi, and the fifth prince Xiao Yi.

Among these three, Xiao Chi's mother's family is the most powerful, backed by the Duke of Qin's Mansion.

Xiao Yi, on the other hand, was gentle and intelligent since childhood, and was very much liked by Emperor Jingping. He was also well-known for his talent, so many people believed that he also had the possibility of ascending the throne, so they placed their hopes on him.

The only exception is the Third Prince, Xiao Chang. Everyone's impression of him is just that he is the Second Prince's follower.

He has never done anything outstanding over the years and his presence is very weak, but he is the most scheming among the remaining princes of Emperor Jingping. Even the accidental death of the Sixth Prince was caused by him.

Even Xiao Duo's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate was pushed by Shenying behind the scenes.

Before he led his troops back to Yongji City in his previous life, Xiao Chang had already surpassed the fourth prince and the fifth prince to become the candidate for the crown prince in the minds of all the ministers.

Xie Lang snorted coldly, saying that he was just a clown.

In his previous life, he was sentenced to exile in the northern border, but the third prince traveled thousands of miles to recruit him, saying that it was a timely help. If he had not already doubted Xiao Duo's decision to rebel, and had someone investigate...

Sure enough, his handwriting was found inside.

Xie Lang originally thought that the warnings he had given these days would be enough to keep him from causing trouble again in the short term.

At this moment, she even dared to cause trouble for Mingyue under his nose. She really thought he didn't dare to touch him.

Xie Lang's expression was extremely cold. He casually threw the paper into the charcoal basin. Flames suddenly appeared and devoured the paper. He said in a cold voice, "Prepare a copy of everything the Third Prince did and send it to Lord Lian."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

The man quickly retreated.

Therefore, Lian Dongshu, who was drinking tea, was unexpectedly received "care" from his colleagues.

He was so surprised by this "care" that he spat out a mouthful of tea.

Lian Dongshu only took a look at what was written on the top and his face changed slightly. He immediately stood up, holding the stack of papers that were sufficient evidence in his hand, and looked at the person who came to deliver the things: "What did Lord Xie say when he asked you to give the things to me?"

"Your Excellency, the Marquis did not say anything."

He didn't say anything. How did he collect so much evidence of the Third Prince's crimes?!

After waiting for a long time for the Second Prince's matter to be settled, and the Fourth Prince was taught a lesson and finally settled down, why did the Third Prince want to get over it and go and provoke Xie Jinglan again?

The man said again: "Sir, the Marquis said that you will understand after reading it."

Lian Dongshu's forehead twitched suddenly.

Xie Lang always has his reasons for doing things, and he would not ask people to hand these things to him for no reason.

Lian Dongshu suppressed the shock in his heart and quickly read through the folded "evidence" in his hand. His expression became increasingly solemn, and when he turned to the last page, the corners of his mouth twitched.

It clearly stated that the Third Prince had instructed Xu Yingying to stop the carriage of Marquis Dingyuan's mansion in the street.

"..."

Lian Dongshu was almost speechless.

Now, even three-year-old children in the entire capital city know that the one in Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is not to be messed with. To mess with her is equivalent to messing with Xie Lang, and the consequences of messing with Xie Lang are very miserable, and they will often be executed in the autumn.

But they just have to go to the trouble of provoking Xie Lang, right?

He pressed his temples with a headache.

What's going on now? The Third Prince asked Xu Yingying to provoke Xue Mingyue. In order to retaliate, Xie Lang took out the "evidence" of the Third Prince in a rage, but he didn't want to confront His Majesty in person, so he threw the matter to him to solve?

...Wait, when did he investigate these things?

Lian Dongshu was slightly startled and frowned subconsciously, but he quickly shook his head and temporarily suppressed these thoughts.

The most important thing now is how to hand over this thing to His Majesty.

If it was something like occupying good farmland or brothers fighting each other, Lian Dongshu would not be so embarrassed. He lowered his head and looked at the few light pieces of paper in his hand, feeling as if he was holding a hot iron.

He was not a person with the same temper as Xie Lang. He just presented the things and didn't care about the raging waves behind him.

The emperor's mind has always been difficult to guess, and has become even more unpredictable recently.

If Lian Dongshu didn't know about these things, it would be fine, and Your Majesty would not punish him; but he already knew them at this moment. If he didn't say anything, at the very least, it would be considered as knowing the truth but not reporting it, and at the worst, it could be considered as deceiving the emperor and concealing the truth. But if he said it, who knows what Your Majesty would think?

Thinking of this embarrassing scene, Lian Dongshu couldn't help but feel resentful towards the Third Prince.

Xie Lang, ah Xie Lang, you really threw him a hot potato.

Lian Dongshu gave a bitter smile, and after a while, he sighed deeply, put the papers into his sleeves, strode out, and ordered, "Prepare the horses, I want to enter the palace."

……

Xue Mingyue in Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion knew nothing about what happened in the imperial prison.

After returning home, she went to Wangxi Courtyard first and told them everything about today's porridge distribution. She skipped the topic of meeting Lu Fang and Xu Yingying, as it was not a big deal in her eyes.

To be honest, Xue Mingyue felt more sorry for the burnt blanket.

After Liuyun found two or three blankets of better quality from the warehouse, she forgot about the matter. After eating a hot pot, she happily went to bed and fell asleep.

I usually don’t feel it when I stay in the house, but after going out and feeling how cold it is outside, I feel exceptionally warm when I come back.

It’s lunch time when I come back every day.

So Xue Mingyue slept well in the afternoons these days, and only took out a little time every day to think about the future. After all, things have been delegated, and Liuyun Liuxing will handle them well.

So when Xie Lang rushed back, he only smelled the lingering smell of the pot.

Before he even got close to the door, Liu Yun stopped him and lowered his brows and said, "My Lord, the young lady has ordered that no one can go in and disturb her until she wakes up."

She emphasized the word "anyone".

Xie Lang: "..."

He pinched his nose helplessly and asked, "Madam, are you frightened today?"

Liuyun's eyes moved slightly, but his tone remained the same: "To answer your question, my Lord, today Miss Xu suddenly stopped the carriage in the street, and the driver had to temporarily tighten the reins. Miss didn't pay attention and almost fell out of the carriage. The charcoal basin in the carriage was overturned and caught fire, and the fire almost burned Miss's shoes, which were her favorite shoes."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "When the young lady came back, she didn't say anything and just went into her room to sleep."

Not a single word of shock was mentioned, but shock was everywhere.

Xie Lang raised his eyebrows slightly and his gaze stayed on her for two more breaths.

Complain?
