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

Chapter 413: Rebellious son, do you know the seriousness of what happened today?

This idiot!

Xiao Xiang rolled up the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains and shouted to the servant beside him: "Get some water and throw it on him to wake him up!"

The servant had never seen his master so angry before. He was so frightened that his body trembled and he quickly went to the water tank in the side room to fetch a basin of water.

"splash!"

Prime Minister Xiao shouted angrily. The servant hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and poured a basin of water on Xiao Huaijin's face.

"what!!!"

Xiao Huaijin screamed, he stared at the ceiling of the bed, gasping for breath, and instantly sobered up half way.

"Rebel!"

Xiao Xiang's roar brought Xiao Huaijin back to his senses. He turned his head and tremblingly called out "Dad."

"Rebellious son, this thing——"

Xiao Xiang originally wanted to hit him in the face with the Thousand Miles Climbing Mountain Map in his hand, but when he raised his hand, he couldn't hit him anymore.

It is priceless and a unique piece of work by Mr. Qingshan is hard to come by.

Xiao Huaijin looked at the thing in his hand and his breathing stagnated. "This, this, this Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, I confiscated it, how could it be..."

"You confiscated it, but you brought this thing back!"

"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who said that if a Bole does not pass on his knowledge, his horse will grow old; if a Chonghua does not see a scholar, his talent will grow hungry. You have a unique eye, so he asked you to help him make a judgment."

Xiao Xiang was almost furious. He suppressed his anger and said, "You idiot, don't you know what the prince's intention is?"

Xiao Huaijin's eyes flickered and he looked away guiltily.

Of course the prince wanted to win over his father, otherwise how could he give away such a valuable item so easily.

"You bastard! Hurry up and change your clothes and return the things to the prince!"

Prime Minister Xiao knew that he had been set up by the prince, but the current situation was unclear and he could not let his century-old foundation be ruined because of his momentary mistake.

Xiao Huaijin was drunk. He got up from the bed, staggering and unable to stand steadily.

Prime Minister Xiao had him supported and taken to the East Palace.

When Zhu San saw him, his face was not surprised at all, "Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Huaijin tried to stand firm, "Master Zhu, this thing is too valuable, my father cannot accept it, please pass it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu San didn't take it, but just smiled and said: "This thing is valuable, Master Xiao should give it to His Highness himself."

Xiao Huaijin was about to ask him where the Crown Prince was, but Zhu San changed the subject, "However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just left the palace for some business, Mr. Xiao, please come back another day."

It was getting dark and the palace gates were about to be locked. Xiao Huaijin did not dare to stay any longer and could only return home with the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.

Xiao Xiang had anticipated this result, and his face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

"father."

Xiao Huaijin was still drunk. He was holding a painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains and standing in front of Prime Minister Xiao with his head down.

"Now you know it's easier to invite a god than to send him away?" Xiao Xiang glared at him in frustration and stretched out his hand towards him, "Give me the thing, I'll send it to the East Palace tomorrow."

Xiao Huaijin obediently handed the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains to Prime Minister Xiao.

After the morning court session the next day, Prime Minister Xiao took the painting to the East Palace.

The prince had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xiao Xiang coming, he smiled and said, "Xiao Xiang, please sit down."

Xiao Xiang bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, this treasure is too precious. I dare not accept it."

The prince pretended to be surprised, "Why is this happening to Prime Minister Xiao? Could it be that you like this painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains?"

Xiao Xiang hurriedly shook his head, "Your Highness has misunderstood. This item is too valuable. I dare not accept it."

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, "Prime Minister Xiao is so cautious, I am a little abrupt. But I really admire Prime Minister Xiao's talent, and I have no other intentions."

Xiao Xiang smiled modestly, and he placed the item on the table. "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness, but please take it back."

The prince raised his eyebrows while holding the teacup, and said meaningfully: "There is no reason to take back what has been given away. If Prime Minister Xiao doesn't like it, why not sell it in Changwen Pavilion."

Wenchang Pavilion!

When Prime Minister Xiao heard the three words "Wenchang Pavilion", the humble smile on his face suddenly disappeared completely.

Wenchang Pavilion was his, and it specialized in selling calligraphy, paintings, and antiques. Whenever someone came to him for help, they would usually go to Wenchang Pavilion to buy something.

He does not accept bribes, but Wenchang Pavilion brings him a considerable income every year.

The prince was threatening him.

If this painting really appeared in Wenchang Pavilion for sale, his reputation for integrity would inevitably be damaged.

Xiao Xiang suppressed his anger and said, "Your Highness, if you have something to say, just say it."

The prince put down the teacup, stood up slowly and paced, "Prime Minister Xiao, I just want to make friends with you, why do you have to keep me at a distance?"

Xiao Xiang was silent for a moment, and finally bowed and said: "Your Highness is very kind, and I understand."

The prince nodded with satisfaction, "I am not an ungrateful person. Anyone who follows me will be rewarded in the future. But if anyone goes against me, I will not show mercy!"

"Yes."

Prime Minister Xiao was filled with resentment, but now that he had been caught by someone, he had no choice but to agree.

After returning home, Prime Minister Xiao called Xiao Huaijin to his study.

"Rebellious son, do you understand the seriousness of what happened today?"

Xiao Huaijin lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong."

Prime Minister Xiao sighed, "The Crown Prince has set his sights on my father now. I must be extremely careful in my future actions."

It is not so easy to earn the credit of being a dragon's follower. If you make a mistake, you will be doomed!

At the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, when they learned that Prime Minister Xiao had been to the Eastern Palace, he looked a little unhappy when he came out, and the old lady's face was heavy.

"Prime Minister Xiao is the head of the civil officials. If he chooses to support the crown prince, half of the civil officials in the court will become the crown prince's retainers."

Lu Xuan frowned, and Bai Youyou beside him also looked worried, "The prince holds the military power in his hands. If all the civil officials and military generals come under his command, the court will probably change."

Lu Chen's eyes were deep, "He actually dares to blatantly win over Prime Minister Xiao now, isn't he afraid that the emperor will be suspicious?"

Bai Youyou said: "The prince has always been cautious, but now he is so bold, he must be confident."

The old lady pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and asked Lu and the other two to go to Pang’s house to find Doctor Pang.

Seeing the prince's behavior, she guessed that there must be something wrong with the pills the emperor took.

Before Doctor Pang replied, another message came from the palace.

"Madam, there is a secret letter from the palace."

Lu Da walked in quickly with the secret letter and handed it respectfully to the old lady.

The old lady opened it and took a look, a smile appeared on her lips, "It seems that the prince can't bother us for a while."

"What happened?"

Bai Youyou, Lu Chen and others were curious. The three of them walked to the old lady, and after seeing the contents on the paper clearly, they all looked a little strange.

"Oh, the Queen and the Third Prince are quite capable. They have blocked everyone on the bed."

Seeing Bai Youyou's face not blushing and her heart not beating, and even smiling obscenely, Lu Xuan reached out and touched her forehead, "You little shameless girl."

"There is nothing shameful about love between a man and a woman."

Bai Youyou looked calm, and the old lady beside him smiled, "If the queen didn't have scheming tricks, she wouldn't have been able to rule the harem for so many years."
