Taking the blame for the fake daughter: After being released from prison, she went on a killing spre

Su Yunling's beauty's tears were very effective. Not only did she easily control Emperor Jing Zhao, but even the way several princes looked at her changed.

This was not a good thing, so she quickly straightened her clothes and stood with Xiao Jichen.

Xiao Ji Chen stood tall and slender, completely blocking any glances directed at Su Yunling.

Only then did these people remember that she already had a lover.

Emperor Jing Zhao looked at the two people standing together who looked particularly well-matched, and his eyes were complicated for a moment.

"I remember that the wound on your face was not easy to recover from, but now there is no trace of it."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Emperor Jing Zhao's tone. If he had known that she was so beautiful, he would not have hastily promised her to Xiao Ji Chen.

If such a beauty were sent to marry into the biggest enemy country, with her fate of being a calamity star, she might be able to help the Great Yin unify the world.

Su Yunling saw the calculation in his eyes, "Your Majesty, originally my face could not recover, but after I got engaged to Prince Junyang, it has miraculously recovered. Your Majesty is indeed wise, and Prince Junyang's fate is a perfect match for me."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing Zhao was speechless for a moment.

The claim that Xiao Jichen's horoscope could resolve Su Yunling's fate of disaster was a lie fabricated by Emperor Jing Zhao from the beginning.

This is to force Prince Su’s Mansion to accept Su Yunling, the disaster star, into the palace.

But now that Su Yunling had used it as a cover, he couldn't expose it. He couldn't just destroy his own stage and slap himself in the face.

"When you come, go and persuade your grandfather to go back! What your uncle has done is unforgivable..."

When Xiao Jichen accompanied Su Yunling to the steps outside the Zichen Palace, they saw Xu Handang, with his white beard and eyebrows, kneeling alone under the scorching sun.

It is the hottest time of the year now, and the stone steps have become scorching hot after absorbing the sunlight. My grandfather is old, how can he withstand such a scorching heat?

Su Yunling felt a lump in her throat and she quickly lifted up her skirt and ran up.

Xu Handang was sweating profusely and his lips were so dry that white scabs had formed.

"Grandfather, drink some water quickly." Su Yunling immediately took out the water bag, unplugged it and put it to his mouth.

Xiao Ji Chen held an umbrella, covering the grandparents and grandchildren in shadow.

Xu Handang drank a few sips of water and his complexion finally recovered a little.

"Grandfather, didn't you say that everything was under control? Why are you still kneeling outside the palace?"

Xu Handang glanced at Xiao Jichen with a mysterious look in his eyes, "...We'll talk about it when we get back."

After getting on the carriage, Xu Handang told his uncle about the current situation he was facing.

In fact, as early as the first time Su Yunling reminded them that there was a spy from the enemy country in the Palace Front Department, his uncle caught the person within a few days.

But he did not alert the enemy, but instead thoroughly investigated the spy's background.

It was then discovered that the spy was a general of an enemy country, and his mother, wife and children were all controlled by the Beiyuan Imperial Court, who used them to force him to enter the Dayin Palace and assassinate Emperor Jingzhao.

So the eldest uncle secretly instigated this man to rebel and promised to help him rescue his family and get rid of Beiyuan's control.

But as a condition, he had to steal Beiyuan's border defense map.

After the two of them made an agreement, the uncle secretly found a martial arts master and successfully rescued his family.

The man then went back to Beiyuan to steal the defense map.

But at this critical moment, someone found letters of secret communication between him and the enemy country under his desk, and it was also reported that he had let the enemy's spy go.

Now we just have to wait for that person to come back with the Beiyuan border defense map, and then we can clear my uncle's name.

Xu Handang knelt outside the palace to beg Emperor Jing Zhao to give his uncle three more days. If the defense map was not returned after five days, he would leave it to Emperor Jing Zhao to deal with.

But Emperor Jing Zhao refused. He knew that the Xu family was loyal and would not commit treason, but he still wanted to take this opportunity to take back the red seal and iron certificate bestowed by the previous emperor.

Su Yunling originally thought that her uncle would report directly to Emperor Jing Zhao after discovering the spy, but she did not expect that he would take the risk of playing such a big game.

The Beiyuan border has been harassing the people of Dayin for many years, and has always been like a thorn in the side. If we can get their border defense map, we can inflict heavy damage on them, which will definitely be a great achievement.

Ever since my uncle knew that Emperor Jing Zhao was waiting for Xu Handang to retire and took action against the Xu family, he realized that in order to protect the safety of the Xu family, someone must be in a high position.

So he, who has always been as calm as a chrysanthemum, decided to take a gamble for his family.

If he wins the bet, he will be promoted; if he loses, he will lose his head.

As for the other members of the Xu family, they would not be implicated as they had the imperial edict.

Although Su Yunling did not approve of her uncle's approach, things had come to this point, and what she had to do now was to help her uncle buy three more days...

The news that something happened to the Xu family spread like wildfire. Before the Xu family members started to get anxious, some people were already getting restless.

In the mansion of Duke Qin, Duke Qin and his wife were extremely anxious.

"That's treason! It's a heinous crime that will punish all of your clan!"

"Even though Xu Hantang was an important minister who assisted the late emperor, so what? He is an old man and will retire this year. Even if the emperor considers the late emperor's face and does not kill the entire Xu family, the Xu family will be a low-ranking family in Shangjing in the future and will no longer be of any help to our Duke's Mansion."

"Don't even talk about helping. Ye'er and Xu Miaoyu are still married. Maybe they will implicate us."

The more they analyzed, the more frightened they became, and they immediately sent someone to call Chen Ye over.

"Dad, Mom, why are you so anxious to find my child?"

Chen Ye was hit hard recently because Xu Miaoyu initiated the divorce proposal. He locked himself in the yard and got drunk. He knew nothing about his father-in-law's family affairs.

"Don't you know that something big happened to the Xu family?" Qin looked anxious.

Chen Ye frowned and was stunned, "What happened to my father-in-law's family?"

"Your father-in-law has been convicted of treason and has been thrown into death row. He will be executed in two days!"

Chen Ye was shocked when he heard this, "Then Miao'er must be very scared now?" The first image that came to his mind was Xu Miaoyu's crying face.

Qin was furious at his lack of resistance. "It's already this time, and you still think she's afraid or not? Hurry up and divorce him before the fire spreads to the Duke's Mansion."

Chen Ye's eyes were reddened by the word "divorce". "You want me to divorce her at this time? How do you want my colleagues and the people to see me?"

He admitted that it was true that he felt sorry for Xu Miaoyu, but his feelings for her were also real.

Duke Qin angrily rebuked: "Rebellious son, saving your life is the most important thing at this time, why are you still caring about your face? How much is your face worth?"

Chen Ye looked painful. He shook his head in a trance and murmured softly, "I won't divorce. I can't live without Miao'er."

"Pa—" Duke Qin raised his palm and slapped him, "You are being unreasonable. Do you want to drag our whole family to be buried with you? Why did I give birth to such a rebellious son like you?"

"Ye'er, if you don't divorce Xu Miaoyu, I will bang my head against the wall and die in this hall!!!" Qin roared angrily and pretended to bang her head against the pillar.

Chen Ye came back to his senses from the pain and grabbed Qin, "Mom! Can you please stop forcing me? You know how important Miao'er is to me."

Qin's eyes were filled with tears. "Ye'er, mother knows you can't forget Xu Miaoyu for the time being, but even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your sister, right? She is only ten years old. Do you want her to die with us?"

Since ancient times, the emperor's mind is unpredictable. When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die. No one knows whether Emperor Jing Zhao will vent his anger on the Duke's Mansion.

The Chen family didn't dare to take the risk.

The struggle in Chen Ye's eyes gradually calmed down, "Okay... I agree... to divorce."

Qin finally felt relieved: "That's right, there are many girls from good families in Shangjing, why do you treat a hen that can't lay eggs as a treasure? You should spend more time with Yu Niang, that's your first child..."

Su Yunling was standing by the window on the second floor of Baicao Hall, thinking about how to buy time for her uncle, when she accidentally saw Li Yu Niang pulling a rough man and hurriedly entering an alley nearby...
