I rely on gossip to save the country

Emperor Mingde sneered when he thought of this. If it weren't for his daughter, they wouldn't have known such a secret thing about the Beiqi Kingdom. It was also fortunate that this group of people couldn't hear Yue'er's voice.

It's good that he can't hear it. If he can't hear it, he will have an absolute advantage. When envoys from other countries come in the future, he will bring Xiao Yue'er with him. This way he will know whether these guys have any ulterior motives. Even if they don't, it's good to listen to the jokes of other countries.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt relieved.

Xie Chuyue was showing off the delicious food in her seat, looking very happy.

The five brothers of the Xie family looked at their sister from time to time, and they all had the same thought in their minds: this little girl is such a big eater. She has been eating since she sat there until now.

They didn't treat this girl badly, did they?

Xie Chuyue was actually eating while looking at the envoys from various countries. She was thinking whether she should deal with the people from Beiqi Kingdom right away, but as she watched, she realized something was wrong.

Xie Chuyue: [Tong, why does the Second Prince of Northern Qi always look at my Second Brother? Could he really like my Second Brother? ]

"Puff!" Upon hearing this, Xie Yunshen spat out the wine he had just drunk.

Xie Yunqing glared at him with a cold look, and Xie Yunshen covered his mouth to signal that he would not laugh anymore.

But his shaking shoulders betrayed him; he was smiling.

Xie Yunqi also laughed, but he didn't laugh out loud, just raised the corners of his mouth.

Then he said calmly: "Second brother is not only popular with women, but also with men. How about, second brother, take him in?"

Xie Yunqi's words successfully stimulated Xie Yunqing, and he almost couldn't hold it in. Fortunately, he was still rational, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "This blessing is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Does His Royal Highness want it?"

Xie Yunli, who heard the conversation between the two, actually interrupted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, what are you thinking, second brother?"

Xie Yunqing gnashed his teeth in anger. In the past, he only had a problem with the boss, but now with the prince and the other two, they have teamed up to make trouble for him.

I was so angry that I didn't know what to say. Finally, I said through gritted teeth, "Don't worry about the matter between me and the Crown Prince, my brother."

Xie Yunshen looked at the atmosphere between the three people that was about to freeze into ice, and poked Xie Yunjing who was sitting in front of him, "Xiao Wu, you are really patient. I can't bear it at all, I really can't bear it."

Xie Yunjing smiled, looking at Xie Yunshen who was smiling so gently, "Fourth brother, be careful when you smile, don't let me find out."

Xie Yunshen nodded. Although he smiled, he still had some concerns. After all, he couldn't let his sister know. They could all hear the little girl's thoughts.

System: [Host, I think so too. You should remind your second brother to stay away from this guy in the future.]

Xie Chuyue responded.

At this moment, Qingyan whispered a few words into Xie Chuyue's ear, and then Xie Chuyue stood up and left the hall.

When Xie Chuyue left the hall, Princess Jianing from Beiqi Kingdom, who had been keeping an eye on Xie Chuyue, also stood up and left.

Xie Chuyue left the hall and hurried to the Imperial Garden. Qingyan had just told her that Jiang Shuying had something urgent to discuss with her and asked her to go to the Imperial Garden.

As soon as she arrived at the Imperial Garden, she saw Jiang Shuying pacing back and forth anxiously.

Xie Chuyue thought something happened to Jiang Shuying, so she quickly grabbed her hand and asked with concern, "Jiang Shuying, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Who bullied you?"

It was not difficult to see that Jiang Shuying was nervous at this time. She pulled Xie Chuyue forward and said, "I just accidentally heard that the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to harm Duan Xiya. She said she wanted to push Duan Xiya into the lotus pond, and then let the palace guards rescue her, and then take the opportunity to destroy Duan Xiya's innocence and prevent Duan Xiya from marrying into the royal family in the future.

After all, this is the imperial palace. I am acting alone. If anything goes wrong, I will be implicated myself. So I sent someone to call you. After all, you are a princess, so no one dares to do anything to us."

Xie Chuyue nodded, but her expression turned cold. "Duan Xiya, where is she?"

Jiang Shuying walked very quickly, but she did not forget to answer: "Beside the lotus pond not far ahead, she drank some wine and might have come out to get some fresh air."

Xie Chuyue didn't reply and followed Jiang Shuying to the lotus pond.

An idea flashed through her mind, but she was not sure, so she asked the system: [Er Gouzi, can you check if Duan Xiya has been poisoned by any drug? ]

The system also realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly conducted a search.

Jiang Shuying was also stunned when she heard what Xie Chuyue said, and then she didn't know what she thought of and quickened her pace. They all hoped that it would not be what they imagined.

System: [Host, I have found out that someone drugged Duan Xiya's wine. She is now feeling hot all over. She just came out to get some fresh air. The drug was given by her concubine's sister. You two have to hurry up. That concubine's sister is going to take action now.]

Just as Xie Chuyue was about to ask something, she heard shouting from not far away.

"Help, someone fell into the water!"

"Help! Someone fell into the water! Come and save him!"

"Help, help! My lady has fallen into the water!"

Hearing the shout, Xie Chuyue used his Qinggong skills and flew directly over.

As soon as she passed by, she saw a guard about to jump into the lake to save someone. Xie Chuyue shouted, "Jiang Shuying, stop him. I'll go save him."

Jiang Shuying understood instantly who Xie Chuyue wanted her to stop. She rushed over and kicked the guard not far away.

Xie Chuyue jumped into the water, looked at Duan Xiya struggling in the water, swam over quickly and pulled her out.

Originally, Xie Chuyue wanted to ask Jiang Shuying to pull them up, but she heard a burst of chaotic footsteps, so she used her lightness skills and flew directly to the shore.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Xie Chuyue knocked out the palace maid who had just spoken. The two of them tacitly pulled the palace maid and the guard into the bushes and hid them. Then the two of them took Duan Xiya away from the lotus pond.

Not long after they left, they saw several ladies going to the lotus pond to admire the lotus flowers.

Among them, the girl in green skirt following behind the Prime Minister’s wife frowned as she looked at the tranquil lotus pond.

She thought to herself, did it fail? That's impossible, her plan was foolproof, so what went wrong?

But the person she had arranged was not there, so she had no choice but to follow the ladies to appreciate the flowers.

Xie Chuyue's people were saved, but Duan Xiya was still drugged. Xie Chuyue had no choice but to take them to her Changle Palace.

Fortunately, Mu Jin left them some commonly used medicines, which saved Duan Xiya who had been poisoned by traditional Chinese medicine.

Xie Chuyue knew that she couldn't leave for too long, otherwise something might happen, so she looked at Jiang Shuying and said, "You accompany Miss Duan to rest for a while in my Changle Palace. After she recovers a little, you two can go to the banquet hall together. I can't leave for too long, after all, I didn't tell my father that I was leaving first."

Jiang Shuying nodded, and Xie Chuyue left. She was afraid that something unexpected might happen later, so she left Phantom behind.

Xie Chuyue hurried to the banquet hall, but when passing by the Imperial Garden, the system reminded her: [Host, Princess Jianing is coming, not far in front of you.]

Sure enough, Xie Chuyue ran into Princess Jianing not long after she walked away.

Xie Chuyue looked at Princess Jianing standing in front of her with a gentle smile on her face and asked the system, "Is she trying to harm me? Otherwise, why would she come to me again and again?"

The system was speechless: [Host, even if she wants to harm you, the premise is that she can harm you. How can a weak woman like her harm you? ]

This time, Princess Jianing was not as verbose as before, nor did she pay too much attention to etiquette. Instead, she looked at Xie Chuyue and said directly, "This princess wants to form an alliance with Princess Chunyang. Is Princess Chunyang willing?"

"This princess doesn't need it!" Xie Chuyue felt confused and wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Princess Jianing. "Princess Chunyang, don't you want to get rid of the Third Prince of our Beiqi Kingdom and his sweetheart?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Chuyue was stunned for a moment. Could it be that Princess Jianing already knew that she was going to take action against their Beiqi Kingdom?

Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Xie Chuyue's eyes. Since he knew her secret, there was no need for this person to live, so as not to ruin her plan.

Although Xie Chuyue did not turn around, Princess Jianing still felt the murderous intent emanating from Xie Chuyue.

This was her only chance to negotiate with Princess Chunyang, and she absolutely could not miss it. So she plucked up her courage and continued, "Princess Chunyang, there is no need to be so anxious to kill me. I am your friend, not your enemy. The person you want to get rid of is also the person I want to get rid of. How about we join forces?"

Xie Chuyue: [System, how did she know that I wanted to get rid of these two people? I have never said this to anyone, and I haven't taken action against them yet, how did she know? ]

The system was also confused at this time, [Host, please don't worry, let me check first. ]

Xie Chuyue doesn't need allies, she doesn't trust the people of Beiqi Kingdom.

Xie Chuyue pretended to be puzzled and said with a smile, "Princess Jianing, you are joking. The Third Prince of your Beiqi Kingdom and his sweetheart have no grudge against me. Why should I get rid of him? If Princess Jianing is looking for someone, she should look for someone from your Beiqi Kingdom, not me. Princess, you are looking for the wrong person?"

Jianing also knew that the little princess would not believe her with just a few words, so she needed to provide more evidence to prove that they could become allies.

So he calmed down and patiently explained to Xie Chuyue, "Is that so? Is it really as Princess Chunyang said, that there is no grudge or hatred? Then does the hatred of destroying the country not count?"

This time, Xie Chuyue directly grabbed Princess Jianing's neck with her backhand, "What do you know? Do you believe that I will let you die in our Nanyue Kingdom right now?"

Princess Jianing, whose neck was strangled, tried hard to pull Xie Chuyue's hands away. Xie Chuyue pinched her too hard, and Princess Jianing could hardly breathe. Her face turned red, let alone speak.

At this time, the system's voice came in time: [Host, I found out that this Princess Jianing is a reborn person. ]

When Xie Chuyue heard that it was a reborn person, she loosened her grip. Princess Jianing felt that she finally breathed air into her lungs. She took a breath before speaking, "This princess was reborn. Whether you believe it or not, there is absolutely no falsehood in what I am going to say. If there is any falsehood, your life is at your disposal."

Jianing was afraid that Xie Chuyue would attack again, so she continued, "In my last life, I loved him to my core, but I died tragically at the hands of the two of them. It was only when I died that I learned that the woman said she was a time traveler, that she was the girl of destiny, and that the man she chose would definitely dominate the world.

I know that Princess Chunyang will find what I said ridiculous, but it is the truth. I know the ending of your Nanyue Kingdom in your previous life, so I want to join forces with Princess Chunyang. Princess Chunyang, you save your country, and I will avenge mine. What do you think, Princess Chunyang?

In fact, after they destroyed Nanyue State, Nanyue State became a vassal state of Beiqi State, and you all died tragically at his hands. "

Xie Chuyue understood after hearing this. She was a reborn person. Otherwise, how could she know so much? But she still looked at her with a half-smile.

Princess Jianing saw that Xie Chuyue was just smiling, as if she was joking with her. She didn't believe it, and didn't say anything. She couldn't maintain her dignity on her face, and grabbed Xie Chuyue's arm and said:

"Don't disbelieve me, this is all true. If I lie to you, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Xie Chuyue gently supported the wrinkled sleeves that were grabbed by Princess Jianing, and said nonchalantly, "This princess didn't say she didn't believe it."

"So you believe it, and you agree to form an alliance with me?" Princess Jianing was even more excited at this moment.

Xie Chuyue brought people to a pavilion, and soon, the palace maids brought tea and cakes.

After the young palace maids left, Xie Chuyue poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Princess Jianing.

"I believe what you said, and I also believe that you are a reborn person, but I can avenge my own vengeance. I have the ability to do so, so why must I form an alliance with you?"

Xie Chuyue said it casually, and Princess Jianing pondered the meaning of Xie Chuyue's words. After a while, she spoke, "Princess Chunyang, no matter what, I, the princess of Beiqi, know Beiqi better than you, Princess Chunyang, don't I? With my help, it will be a hundred percent benefit to you, and there will be no harm, so why not do it?"

System: [Host, this person is trustworthy. She really died tragically at the hands of the male and female protagonists in her previous life, and she is here to seek revenge in this life. You two can try to unite.]

Xie Chuyue: [No, we are not on the same side after all. I want to destroy her country, and she only wants to kill the male and female protagonists. But I can use her to my advantage. If she tries to stop me from destroying her country, I will kill her. It would be best if she doesn't stop me.]

Princess Jianing looked at Xie Chuyue, who had no expression on her face at the moment, and she felt a little uneasy. In fact, she was betting that Xie Chuyue would definitely take revenge.

"Princess Jianing came to form an alliance, but her sincerity is not enough." Xie Chuyue spoke casually, shaking the wine glass in her hand.

Hearing Xie Chuyue say this, Princess Jianing also smiled. It seemed that she had succeeded. "Of course, this princess is sincere."

"Oh——." Xie Chuyue was also curious for a moment, wondering what the sincerity of Princess Jianing was.
