After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

"Princess, help!"

Shen Yuyao was just about to stand up to pick up the little fairy and feed her some complementary food when suddenly a person stumbled in and knelt down in front of her.

Shen Yuyao looked up and saw that it was the concubine Xu Yunxuan!

"Why are you in such a hurry? Stand up and sit down and talk." Shen Yuyao knew that she was not an ordinary person from the Great Xia Dynasty. She had not even learned all the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty on weekdays. Today, she suddenly knelt on the ground. There must be something big going on!

"Princess... Sister Yuyao, you really have to save my Xu family!" Xu Yunxuan listened to Shen Yuyao asking her to get up, and without hesitation, she stood up and sat down on the couch.

"My mother's family just sent a message saying that my father was imprisoned by the emperor for treason and will be executed in the autumn! Dozens of people in the mansion were trapped in the mansion. Today, a servant risked his life to crawl out of the dog hole and ran to report the news!"

Xu Yunxuan took the cup of tea handed to her by Zisu, took a sip, and then she calmed down.

"Now that the prince has not returned, I have no experience at all and don't know how to help my family. I can only ask the princess for advice!"

Xu Yunxuan knew that seeing how calm Shen Yuyao was at the palace gate that day, and how she was so composed in front of the emperor, the only one who could save her family now was probably this princess!

Shen Yuyao was shocked when she heard this, treason is a serious crime!

This crime is certain. Not only will the hundreds of people in the Xu family be buried with them, but the Ning Wang Mansion will most likely be implicated as well.

Just because the current emperor had doubts, the Duke's Mansion was able to exit the vortex only after the Duke resigned and returned home with his family.

The Xu family is just a merchant family. How can they bear the death penalty for treason?

The emperor only put her father in prison at this time, and did not execute him immediately. He must have wanted him to bite other more important people.

Could it be?

Could it be that they were all targeting the Ning Palace? This was the Ning Palace where Shen Yuyao and Xiao Xianbao lived and worked!

For a moment, Shen Yuyao was confused and at a loss as to what to do.

[Xu's father is a good man...]

[Her father Xu Wansan has been at the top of the list of the richest people in the Great Xia Dynasty for more than ten years.]

[Although he was born into a merchant family, he once donated money and materials to support the current emperor in regaining the Great Xia tribe's territory... In theory, he has also made great contributions to the emperor! ]

[After the country was settled, he donated supplies to the border troops every year... Among them were Yanmen Pass guarded by his eldest uncle and Youzhou Camp guarded by his second uncle.]

[It was precisely because of this that Xu Wansan was suspected by the Emperor, who suspected him of plotting a rebellion! ]

[Alas! This Xu Wansan has the desire to enrich the people, but he has no ability to guess the emperor's will... What a pity! ]

Shen Yuyao couldn't help but sigh as she listened to Xiao Xianbao's series of thoughts.

But she was just a little princess after all, and she didn't know how to resolve this crisis!

[The current emperor is a murderer and now he is charged with treason. The only one who can change his mind is the Empress! ]

Yes! To save Xu's family, we can only go to the palace to ask for an audience with the Empress who loves the people like her own children!

Duke Shen Ao is from the same hometown as the current emperor, so Shen Yuyao has known her father since childhood. The only person he was afraid of was his first wife, now the queen!

Now that you have a goal, all that remains is to figure out how to achieve it step by step.

Shen Yuyao's heart moved.

at the moment...

"Xu Yunxuan, didn't you come from a book? Didn't the book write that the Xu family would suffer such a disaster?" Shen Yuyao said jokingly.

"I'm wearing a romance novel. The only thing I remember from the book is the love story between the hero and the heroine, and the only villain in the book is you." Xu Yunxuan frowned slightly.

"You are mentioned in the book. I was canonized as the principal wife... and then... I remember that was the end of the story. I don't remember the author writing a sequel!"

"Besides, you don't have it now, so will I continue writing after I wear it?"

Xu Yunxuan was puzzled.

[Hahaha. My mother turned out to be the villain..]

[As expected, the only thing my mother lost was her life, but Xu Shi lost her love! ]

"Although I don't quite understand what you said. But as far as I know, Mr. Xu is also a loyal man who serves the country and the people." Shen Yuyao said seriously:

"I, Shen Yuyao, will definitely do my best to rescue him, but the officialdom is now so complicated that I don't get involved too much. Moreover, this matter involves many people, so let's wait for the prince to come back and make a decision after everyone discusses it!"

"Well...it seems that this is the only way!"

Shen Yuyao sighed with emotion. Xu Yunxuan had just come into this world and had only met her family twice, at the three-day bath and the hundred-day banquet, yet she was able to lend a helping hand at the critical moment. It seemed that she was not a heartless person!

But who is behind this?

After a few more days, Prince Ning Xia Yu finally returned to the palace!

Shen Yuyao had been waiting in the front hall of the palace early in the morning. Zi Su with Xiao Xianbao, Xu Yunxuan with Xiao Yan, Ling Xiangxiang with Xia Linan were also waiting in the front hall.

As soon as Prince Ning arrived at the gate of the palace, the doorman informed him that the princess, concubines, princes, and princesses were all waiting in the front hall. Prince Ning knew that something big must have happened, and he hurried into the front hall.

As soon as Prince Ning stepped into the front hall, he felt a little strange. Haven't Chunhua Garden and Jinxiu Garden always been at odds? Today, why did the princess come to the front hall with the concubine?

"Long live the prince!" Shen Yuyao led everyone to pay their respects to Prince Ning, and then asked Zi Su and Ling Xiangxiang to take the children to the backyard.

"Your Highness, something big has happened!" Shen Yuyao said directly when she saw Zi Su and the others go out.

"Recently, while the prince was escorting the Duke back home, Concubine Xu's father, Master Xu, was imprisoned by the emperor and is scheduled to be executed in the autumn!"

"I already know about this matter. Does the princess have any idea?"

On the way back to Beijing, Prince Ning had already received a pigeon letter and knew about this matter. He also guessed that someone must have set up a trap for his Prince Ning's mansion.

The previous Prince Ning’s Mansion was indeed too eye-catching!

The principal wife was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, the first of the "Six Founding Dukes", and the concubine was the legitimate daughter of the richest man in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

I had originally planned to bide my time, but now it seems I can’t hide anymore. As a prince, I have to face the cruel reality head on.

Now he can be considered to have lived a new life, and his attitude towards many things is no longer the same as in his previous life.

"Your Highness...I don't have any idea, but I think the experiences of the Duke's Mansion and Mr. Xu should be related to Your Highness!" Shen Yuyao did not hide her thoughts and directly expressed her thoughts. "I wonder Your Highness..."

"Well, it's really because my Ning Wang Mansion is too eye-catching now!" Xia Yu stood upright in the hall without even having time to change into his tight clothes.

"Soldiers come and cover up the water and earth!"

It is early summer. At nightfall, the streets and alleys of Kyoto are already lit up with colorful lanterns, creating a prosperous scene.

Xia Yu looked at the painting on the table. The person in the painting was exactly like Shen Yuyao from Chunhuayuan. The more Xia Yu looked at it, the less she looked like him. Compared with the person in the portrait, the current Princess Shen Yuyao had a bit more tenacity and clarity in her eyes.

Yes, this was a painting that was made by a painter in the previous life for the princess who died young. She only had the same facial features as Shen Yuyao at this moment, but her temperament and figure were very different.

Xia Yu smiled, just like when he saw the chess board with the words "Long Live" in front of the palace that day.
