After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"what's up?"

Marquis Yong'an was about to get the teacup in front of the round table, but upon hearing this, he sat back down.

"Did you send people to the border last August?"

The prince's words startled Yong'an Hou. His eyes flickered and he asked with some lack of confidence, "Why are you asking this?"

"You only said whether you had sent people to the border."

The prince stared at Marquis Yong'an with his dark eyes, and he caught the guilty feeling that flashed across Marquis Yong'an's eyes at a glance.

"Your cousin is in Yucheng. I sent someone there."

"Uncle, you should know what I am asking."

"How can I know if you don't tell me?"

Marquis Yong'an had already guessed it, and his heart suddenly tightened, but he still tried to defend himself.

The prince glanced at him coldly, raised his hand, and Zhu San placed a rolled-up paper in his hand.

The prince took it and threw it directly at Yong'an Marquis, "Look for yourself."

Marquis Yong'an unfolded the paper with some suspicion. When he saw the person in the portrait clearly, his pupils locked and his expression suddenly changed!

"Where did you come from?"

The voice of Yong'an Marquis trembled slightly, and the prince snorted coldly, "The people of the Zhenguogong Mansion have been looking for this person recently. I sent people to investigate and only then did I know about this matter."

"Did the people from the Zhenguo Mansion know about this?!"

Yong'an Hou looked panicked, and his hand holding the portrait was shaking like a sieve. "I have already silenced the witnesses, so they won't find out."

"You can handle your own people, but can you handle the barbarians?"

The prince glanced at him.

He had known for a long time that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was investigating this person, but he had not previously known that it was related to his uncle.

"You are so brave, you dare to collude with the barbarians to kill Lu Jia Wulang!"

Yong'an Hou was so frightened that he fell off his chair. He looked at the prince and explained in a panic: "When I learned of Hui'er's death, I acted impulsively and did such a thing."

"This idea was given to me by Bai Yaoyao. Otherwise, how would I know when the border would be cleared?" He crawled to the prince's side and held onto his clothes tightly with both hands. "Your Highness, you must save your uncle's life!"

"Uncle, treason is a crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of your clan!"

"Your Highness!"

Marquis Yong'an's eyes were filled with tears, and his eyes were full of despair and regret.

How could he be so blinded by Bai Yaoyao's lies? !

The prince took out his clothes and dusted them off. He changed the subject and said, "But everything requires evidence. As long as the people from the Zhenguo Mansion can't find evidence, they can't do anything to you."

"Right, right, right. We can't let them find any evidence! We absolutely can't let them find any evidence!!"

Yong'an Hou nodded repeatedly. He had no children and no grandchildren, but he still had wealth and glory to enjoy, so he didn't want to die!

"Uncle, I came here today to ask you to do something. As long as this thing is accomplished, we can uproot the Zhenguogong Mansion, and no one will know about this matter in the future."

At this moment, Marquis Yong'an was like a duck that had fallen into the water and had grabbed a piece of driftwood. How could he let go at this moment?

"You tell me, uncle will definitely do it for you!"

The prince waved to him, and Marquis Yong'an stood up and listened attentively.

When he finished speaking, Marquis Yong'an's eyes suddenly widened with a look of disbelief.

"Didn't you just say—"

"Kill the Nine Clans?"

The prince curled his lips, and there was actually a mocking tone in the corners of his lips, "If this is accomplished, who can stop me in the future? This world belongs to me, who can decide my death?"

Yong'an Hou gritted his teeth and agreed, "Don't worry, your uncle will definitely take care of this for you!"

"The iron ore from Qingling Mountain was transported to Yucheng by someone else. Find someone to make a batch of weapons."

"it is good."

Marquis Yong'an had his title stripped away, and now he had nothing to do, so he disguised himself and led his men out of the city early in the morning as soon as the city gate opened.

In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Bai Youyou, Lu Chen and Lu Xuan were sitting in the garden pavilion eating ice cream.

Lu Huaizhen, who was standing by, watched them eat with relish, and his mouth uncontrollably began to drool.

He was in poor health and could not eat cold food, so he could only drink hot tea from a teacup.

Bai Youyou finished the ice cream in her bowl, put down the bowl, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. She looked up and happened to meet Lu Xuan's gaze. She asked casually, "Sixth cousin, is there any progress on the matter at Yichunyuan?"

Lu Xuan has been guarding Yichunyuan with his men these days and just came back today.

"I have people go in to check every day," Lu Xuan frowned, "and there doesn't seem to be anything unusual."

The people coming and going were mostly young men from wealthy families and officials from the court. Apart from that, he didn't notice anything unusual.

"The news given by Master Qin is probably not false."

Lu Huaizhen also heard him talk about this. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. He guessed, "The matter of the Immortal Powder is of great importance. They must be very careful. Maybe they have discovered your traces."

"Most likely."

Lu Xuan also agreed.

The prince was canonized as the crown prince since he was born. Marquis Yong'an started planning for the prince more than 20 years ago, and with the emperor's connivance, the dark forces in the crown prince's hands are not weak.

"The postures and steps of people who practice martial arts are different from those of ordinary people. If you are an expert, you will definitely notice something." Lu Huaizhen said, "You can go by yourselves, why not find someone who spends years in the entertainment industry to investigate?"

Lu Chen glanced at him dimly, "Everyone in my Zhenguo Mansion is clean and self-disciplined, and never steps into prostitutes."

Lu Huaizhen's face was still a little pale, and Liu Yuexin was still wearing thick spring clothes.

He smiled and said, "I won't let you go, but I can recommend someone for you."

Bai Youyou's eyes rolled and she instantly guessed who that person was.

She nodded, "If he goes, it won't arouse suspicion."

Lu Chen asked, "Who is he?"

Lu Xuan also guessed who Lu Huaizhen was talking about, and couldn't help but smile, "If it's him, then it's the most suitable one."

The three of them all knew the truth, except Lu Chen who was confused.

"I'll go talk to him about this."

Lu Huaizhen put down the teacup in his hand and stood up gracefully, "I'm sorry for bothering you so much. I'll go back home today."

Bai Youyou politely tried to persuade him to stay, "You are the only one in your house with a few servants, why don't you stay here for a while?"

"No, if people knew about it, it would probably cause trouble."

Lu Huaizhen smiled and rejected her kindness.

He stayed indoors these days, and Lu Chen and Lu took care of his daily life, without letting anyone else get involved.

But after all, there are so many people and it is inevitable that someone will let the information slip.

After Lu Huaizhen left, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Who are you talking about?"

Bai Youyou chuckled and said, "Since he is on good terms with Prince Xian and is also a romantic and unrestrained person, who do you think it could be?"

Lu Chen suddenly realized, "Jiang Tingxiao!"

That boy had been in the world of women since he was fifteen or sixteen years old. He was generous with his money and was well-known among all the young masters.

If he went, it really wouldn't arouse suspicion.
