To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

This means lifelong imprisonment.

Before sealing the door, Xu Cairong came to see the two. With the attitude of a superior, he kept making harsh mocking noises: "Brother, do you regret it? Now kneel down and beg me to let the emperor release you two from your house arrest, how about that?"

After surviving the disaster, their relationship became even stronger.

Xu Xiaoli said firmly: "I won't ask for anything more from someone I've been begging for my whole life."

Xu Cairong was furious. He threatened, "Do you believe me? I'm going to let you die of starvation in the palace. Big brother, didn't you eat enough when you were a child to experience the feeling of starvation?"

However, this threat may be too naive.

Xu Xiaoli and Bai Yueyue didn't react at all. Xu Xiaoli took Bai Yueyue behind him and said to Xu Cairong: "I believe the prince can do it."

Xu Cairong snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and left.

He said a few words to the guard at the door. The guard was stunned for a moment, but still nodded with difficulty under the tyranny of the prince.

The main gate of the mansion was closed, leaving only a back door controlled by servants.

The courtyard was surrounded by high walls and was deserted, with no maidservants.

Xu Xiaoli looked at the sky above the courtyard and sighed: "From now on, the road ahead may be difficult, but don't worry, I will always be by your side."

Suddenly, there was a noise at the back door.

It's that guard.

Xu Xiaoli frowned and stood in front of him: "What did Xu Cairong tell you? If you have any tricks, just come at me!"

The guard smiled awkwardly.

"The prince has told me to reduce your food allowance to one meal a day." He handed over the things in his hand. "This is from Miss Jiu of the Li Mansion. It contains rice, noodles, and a purse."

It doesn't look like a purse, it looks more like a package.

Xu Xiaoli took it with a half-doubt: "You are not the prince's man?"

The guard shook his head. "Please understand, Your Highness. I dare not disobey the Duke's words, but Miss Jiu bribed me with money. At most, I can combine your three meals into one. I just need you to heat up the dishes yourself. This... hehe, this is not to offend anyone."

Xu Xiaoli nodded and said, "Go down, don't let anyone find you."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. In the current situation, no one dares to go against Miss Jiu except for some short-sighted people." The guard nodded and bowed, then left.

Xu Xiaoli believed this. She didn't even need to kneel down to her father, and dared to interfere in the decision-making. Could she be just the daughter of the Marquis? No, her father was not that cowardly.

He hugged Bai Yueyue and walked into the bedroom.

The rice and noodles were hidden, they are life-saving things.

"Is this... a seed?"

In that big package were seeds classified into categories, including vegetables, fruits, and grains. The introduction of each seed was also very detailed. Finally, there was a letter from Jiusu to them.

Bai Yueyue's eyes were red. She said it was a letter, but in fact it was just two words.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Alive."

Xu Xiaoli took a deep breath, he looked at her, then looked at the two words, "Live, live like a human being, let's go, we will plant in every yard."

Bai Yueyue picked up the hoe, but collapsed on the ground and cried.

Xu Xiaoli comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I..." Bai Yueyue raised her head with tears in her eyes. She seemed to see her family waving at her and bidding her final farewell. "I just remembered that when I was a child, my family was busy farming in the fields."

Xu Xiaoli chuckled, stroked her hair and asked, "What about you?"

Bai Yueyue wiped away her tears and said, "Me, I was just playing around."

"..."

There was chaos in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhou was speechless. She snorted coldly, "Why are you angry with me when you can't save your own nephew? Otherwise, go find your old lover and ask her to plead with the emperor. Maybe Zhuo Wenbao can be rescued."

The three words "old lover" angered Prime Minister Zhou.

He was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand, his face red with anger: "Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, watch out for your life!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he stormed out and left.

Zhou was so angry that she dared to throw a teacup at her for that bitch. She ran out, held the door frame, and cursed: "You dare to do it, why can't I say it? You have the intention, but do you have the guts? She entered the palace and is the emperor's woman, and you still go to flirt with her every day. You have no shame! When you die, how will you face your Zhou family's ancestors!"

The old woman was so frightened that she quickly pulled the lady into the inner room.

"Don't be angry. The princess asked you to go to the mansion. She said that the child is sick for some reason. I will help you change clothes."

Assassinating an imperial official is a capital crime.

What's more, Song Wang and Jiang Jing are investigating a serious case and are acting on the emperor's orders.

Zhuo Wenbao is dead.

For the sake of the prime minister's face, he was given a mild poisonous wine. When he felt the pain, he fell to the ground unconscious. Prime Minister Zhou sat next to his body.

I watched it for a long time.

He seemed to see his sister's family all around him, constantly blaming him.

"I was powerless. He actually tried to assassinate Song Wang and Jiang Jing, and failed."

"Don't worry, I will avenge you when I and Evergreen accomplish great things!"

The Zhuo family is not deserted, there is still Zhuo Zhen.

Prime Minister Zhou thought that as long as he could rescue Zhuo Zhen, he would be doing justice to the Zhuo family. He looked down at Zhuo Wenbao's body, and bitterness surged in his heart again.

He took a deep breath.

"It's your uncle who didn't teach you well. I'm sorry for your dead family."

Zhuo Wenbao entered the Zhuo family ancestral hall.

The next day.

Emperor Xu urgently summoned all his ministers.

Although things went as planned, I was still angry at the arrogance of Heaven.

He said: "Not only did the Heavenly Kingdom not apologize, it even summoned its soldiers and approached our Mobei border overnight. At the same time, the Yi Kingdom and the Dachao Kingdom are also ready to move. This is challenging my majesty and the bottom line of the Xu Kingdom!"

The generals clenched their fists, wishing they could pick up their swords and rush to the front line immediately.

Seeing this, Emperor Xu was very satisfied.

He raised his voice and asked, "Which general is willing to fight?!"

The generals subconsciously looked towards the place where 'General Bai' had stood. They trusted and admired Bai Zhenan, and the reactions of this group of people were all seen by Emperor Xu.

Emperor Xu sneered secretly, and felt more and more that taking away Bai Zhenan's military power was a very correct choice.

"Which of you can go to battle?"

The general came back to his senses and was ready to take action.

However, Xu Cairong had already stepped forward to ask for battle: "Father, I am willing to go."

"Oh? Rong'er, swords and spears are merciless on the battlefield, and you may never come back." A look of satisfaction emerged on Emperor Xu's face. His most beloved son was indeed not a coward.

But when I thought about my son getting hurt, I still felt reluctant.

Xu Cairong clasped his fists and was ready to die.

"For the sake of my father and the State of Xu, I am not afraid! If I die at the border, I hope my father and mother will take good care of themselves."

Emperor Xu was deeply moved. He slammed the table excitedly and said, "Great! You are worthy of being the good son of me and the imperial concubine. I will appoint you as the general and Gao Jing as the deputy general. You will lead an army of 100,000 to Mobei! We will take down the Kingdom of Heaven in one fell swoop!"

Xu Cairong was extremely excited.

After waiting for so many years, I finally have real power.

Once he had the military power, what could the prince, who was thousands of miles away, do? He could only be a lamb and be slaughtered.

"I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."
