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

She had misjudged Bai Yanlang before, thinking that with her status as the Duke of Zhenguo, they would not dare to look down on Jianan. Who knew that the idiot would actually do such a thing as favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife.

Nanny Jiang comforted her, "Even if she doesn't marry, our Zhenguo Mansion can still support the eldest daughter. Besides, with the young lady's ability, our eldest daughter's fortune is still to come."

When talking about Bai Youyou, the old lady's eyes and eyebrows were full of doting.

"Yes, with Youyou here, Jianan will have endless blessings in the future."

Just as the old lady finished speaking, a servant came running over, "Old lady, it's bad. Someone from the Ministry of Justice came and said that Lord Xu was colluding with Prince Xian to rebel, and they want to take Lord Xu away now."

The old lady's face changed. "How could Lord Xu collude with Prince Xian to rebel? They are framing me directly!"

Upon hearing this, Lu hurried out of the house and said, "No, mother, Master Xu is still seriously injured and has not recovered yet. We must not let them take Master Xu away."

At this time, Lu Xuan rushed over with several guards, "Grandma, aunt, don't worry, I will deal with them."

Lu Xuan came to the front yard and saw that the officials sent by the Ministry of Justice looked indifferent.

Lu Xuan said in a cold voice: "Everyone, Lord Xu is seriously injured now and cannot cooperate with the investigation. Please go back and tell Lord Zhao that we will go there when Lord Xu's injury improves."

The leading officer was unmoved, "General Lu, we are also following orders, please don't embarrass us."

When the two sides were in a stalemate, a carriage suddenly came galloping and stopped in front of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

The car curtain opened, revealing a handsome face.

The Third Prince slowly got off the car. "I want to ask, Prince Xian hasn't even been convicted yet, how could Lord Xu have colluded with Prince Xian to plot a rebellion?"

When the officers saw the third prince, they all knelt down and saluted.

"Third Prince, the Emperor has entrusted this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a thorough investigation. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered the arrest of the man, and we are only following orders."

Lu Xuan said coldly: "Everything requires evidence. You want to arrest an official of the imperial court without any evidence?"

"You guys go back. If the prince asks you about it, you can say that it was me who interfered."

The criminals looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally the leading officer clasped his fists and said, "Since this is what the Third Prince wants, I will take my leave."

After saying that, he took the others away.

Lu Xuan bowed respectfully to the Third Prince, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness."

The Third Prince waved his hand and said, "I just can't stand the fact that the Crown Prince's followers wantonly framed loyal officials."

Everyone in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, but the Crown Prince was furious.

"Lu Lingye opposes me in every way. Does he really think I have a good temper?"

The blue-clothed scholar advised: "Don't worry, Your Highness. We can't use this opportunity to capture Xu Lingyun. We can start with the emperor."

He curled his lips and smiled, "The emperor is most afraid of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Xu Lingyun is on good terms with the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. I'm sure the emperor must be dissatisfied."

The prince was stunned at first, then he raised his brows after realizing his intention, "You did remind me."

He slowly stood up, waved his wide sleeves, and walked towards the emperor's study.

The sky was gloomy and the wind was howling. The first snow of the New Year fell so suddenly.

After the morning court session ended, the old lady received the news and her face became gloomy.

As they expected, after the emperor learned that Xu Lingyun was seriously injured, he directly let Lang Zhixing take over his position as Jingzhao Yin.

Everyone else pursed their lips with a heavy look on their faces, but Xu Lingyun on the bed still had a smile on his face.

In the past he was on edge every day and was busy with official duties, but now that the emperor has dismissed him from his post, he feels as if a burden has been lifted from his shoulders, and he feels indescribably relieved.

"That's good too. I can take this opportunity to have a good rest."

Bai Youyou looked at him with a firm expression, "Uncle Xu, we will definitely find a way to get you back to your post."

Xu Lingyun's face was pale and his voice was weak. "No, if you help now, it will only anger the emperor even more."

He had been an official for many years, working diligently and caring for the people, but he lost his official position because of the emperor's suspicion. Bai Youyou felt both guilty and angry.

Seeing that her lips were pursed and bloodless, the old lady patted her shoulder gently and said, "Youyou, your uncle Xu is right. We can't act rashly now."

The prince was secretly delighted to see that the emperor had dismissed Xu Lingyun from his post, thinking that part of his plan had succeeded.

The blue-clothed scholar offered another suggestion, "Your Highness, Xu Lingyun has been dismissed from his post. Now that Jingzhao Prefecture is leaderless, we can take action."

"Yes, now is the best time."

The prince nodded and hurriedly summoned Zhu Er over, "Take your men to the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture tonight. Except for Liu Laogui, don't leave anyone else alive!"

Now that his identity has been exposed, the only option is to kill him to silence him!

At night, the wind was calm and the sea was still, with only the sound of white snowflakes falling.

Zhu Er led his men to sneak into the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture.

These are all important witnesses. Since yesterday, he has had people keep an eye on Jingzhao Prefecture. As long as people from the Zhenguo Mansion come to the dungeon, they will stop them at all costs.

To his surprise, Lu Xuan and the others didn’t come last night.

As Zhu Er and his party stepped into the dungeon, they heard continuous "swish" sounds in the air and arrows were fired at once.

I guessed that the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion had been prepared, but I didn't know they had set up a dragnet under the noses of so many people!

Those who were lucky enough to survive turned around and tried to escape, but found that their retreat had been blocked by the secret guards of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Master Zhu, I have been waiting for a long time."

Lu Xuan and his men stood in front of him, looking at the masked man with a black scarf at the head, with a smile on his lips.

Zhu Er met his smiling eyes with a fierce look.

He pulled off the black veil on his face, revealing a dignified square face, "General Lu, I am the prince's man, how dare you touch me?"

Lu Xuan stared at him for two seconds, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Master Zhu, why are you dressed like this? The only people I caught today were thieves who broke into Jingzhao Prefecture at night, but no one from the Crown Prince."

The reason why we didn't interrogate those people yesterday was just to set up an ambush in advance and wait for them to be caught on their own.

Today, Lord Xu was dismissed from his post. This is a good time to take action. He has been waiting here long ago.

Zhu Er's face turned pale and he felt uneasy.

He held the long sword tightly in his right hand in a defensive posture, and said fiercely: "If you dare to touch me, the prince will not spare you!"

Hearing this, Lu Xuan's face suddenly turned cold. "The Crown Prince colluded with foreign enemies to kill my fifth brother. This hatred is irreconcilable. Even if the Crown Prince does not forgive my Zhenguo Mansion, my Zhenguo Mansion will not forgive him either!"

It was their fault that they had done this too cleanly and could not get any favorable evidence. Even if there was real evidence, the emperor would definitely favor the prince.

They can only avenge themselves!
