My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

The two people were very close to each other, but Xiao Yunjin felt they were very far away. She was silent and quiet, like a dormant volcano. Apart from her slightly trembling eyelashes, there was no sign of life at all.

Su Muxi knew that he was looking at her, but she didn't care. She was thinking and pondering the consequences of this incident.

Not to mention the calmness he gained from years of fighting in his previous life, there was also the immovable strength he had developed after facing hypocrisy and snakes, and even after they had a falling out.

Not to mention being silent and not letting others see your emotions, even if you pretend to be dead, no one will be able to detect it in a short period of time.

Her thoughts slowly drifted away. In her previous life, she failed to kill Xiao Yunjin, her martial arts were crippled, and she had a miscarriage. She just wanted to die, but he kept her alive with drugs, so she practiced the turtle breathing technique.

I thought that if she died, they would let her go, but I didn't expect that Xiao Yunjin had gone crazy. He froze her body in ice and moved it to the cellar of the palace. She didn't die, but she didn't live long either. Her body, which was already resistant to cold, lay in the ice for two days, which made the situation worse. How long could she last?

In her previous life, she exhausted all her vitality but failed to get rid of Xiao Yunjin. Xiao Yunjin was her nightmare.

She didn't want to confront Xiao Yunjin, nor could she let Xiao Yunjin turn evil. She was afraid of that crazy Xiao Yunjin, the murderous Xiao Yunjin... She was scared to death...

"Madam, Madam," Xiao Yunjin's voice was really refreshing. Others might have to call him a few more times, but with just one word from him, she would come back to her senses.

Retracting her thoughts, she glanced at him calmly, "My Lord, you also know that I just met with Miss Zhao yesterday. I am afraid of bringing trouble to the Marquis' Mansion. You should go back to the mansion first to comfort your family and don't cause any trouble at this time."

Xiao Yunjin knew that she was trying to get him out, but what she said was not wrong. He really needed to know the whole story. Although the Zhenguo Mansion was good, it was airtight and his people could not get in. "Okay, then I'll leave first and take you home after the palace banquet."

The palace banquet might not be held. Su Muxi didn't believe that Xiao Yunjin couldn't guess this, but she still nodded and said "OK."

As soon as Xiao Yunjin left, Su Muxi became serious, "Mom, sister-in-law, go pack your things and try to travel as light as possible."

"Second brother, go and count the troops and resettle the people left in the mansion."

"What is really going on? Little sister, aren't we leaving the day after tomorrow?"

Before Su Muxi could say anything, Su Muchuan said, "Brother, do as I say? It's only one day earlier, it won't be a problem."

Su Muchao looked at the two of them and turned to prepare.

Su Muxi pulled the Madam Zhenguo who was hesitant to speak, "Mom, don't ask, go and pack up, and deal with everything before midnight."

"Okay," seeing that she was serious, Madam Zhenguo took An Min away to pack up her things.

"Little sister..."

Su Muchuan wanted to speak, but Su Muxi pulled him over and said, "Let's talk in the study."

Arriving at the study, Su Muxi got straight to the point, "Third brother, if the imperial edict doesn't come down by midnight tonight, you take mother and sister-in-law and leave first, without the entourage, travel light, and take the token to mobilize father's secret guards."

Su Muxi tried to pull the pendant in her arms, only to then remember that Xiao Yunjin had tricked her out of it.

"Forget it, I'll go and arrange it myself. You take mother and the others and don't take the official road. Take the shortcut. The faster the better."

"Little sister, tell me the truth first. Your current condition scares me more than when fourth brother left." He was sent to pick up the child that year. Little sister had this expression when she was holding fourth brother's ashes. She was as silent as a dead person, but particularly calm. She didn't cry at all, and just held the jar tightly.

Su Muchuan patted her shoulder and said, "Don't let Third Brother worry."

"Third brother, this incident is too strange. It is definitely not something a little legitimate daughter can do. If something happens to Princess Kangping, the emperor will definitely be suspicious. After all, I just met Zhao Siyu yesterday."

"Little sister, don't worry. No, the emperor won't doubt our family just because you met Zhao Siyu. He didn't ask dad to come to the palace to question him."

"Not only that, the situation in the capital is changing, and I am even more worried about something happening in the northwest."

"Then you can't take mom with you. Isn't the battlefield more dangerous?"

"The capital is more dangerous. Third brother, why did the emperor grant Xiao Yunjin the marriage?"

"Because he is weak and can appease the King of Huaiyang."

"No, Third Brother, let me ask you, if Prince Jin had not died in the battle, what would the situation be like in the capital."

"One king reigns supreme."

"Yes! One king dominates," Su Muxi murmured to herself. She also combined the memories of her previous life to vaguely glimpse the truth of that year. "The emperor would not allow such a thing to happen, so he died."

"Nearly half of the Huaiyang King's 500,000 soldiers were killed and are living in their fiefdoms, daring not to come out. This is one of the reasons why the Emperor should do so."

Su Muchuan was frightened by this conclusion. To push his own son out to die in order to reduce the power of the vassal, the emperor was the most ruthless. "Even so, what does it have to do with this matter? The emperor can't even use his own daughter!"

"Maybe!"

Su Muxi sneered. She intended to guide Su Muchuan and let him understand the situation in the court, so she asked: "Third brother, Prince Jin is dead, the three-legged power is broken, the Sixth Prince is the legitimate son, and his grandfather is the Weiyuan General who is as famous as his grandfather. He is a true founding general with 100,000 troops under his command. The Second Prince enjoys a great reputation, but he has no military power at all. How can he compete with him!"

"The situation is not evenly matched, can we defeat them?"

"Who said that the second prince has no military power? Marquis Jian'an and the second prince..." Su Muchuan paused. If something happened to Princess Kangping, Marquis Jian'an himself would be in danger, and it would be a question whether their marriage could continue.

Su Muchuan swallowed subconsciously and called out "little sister," as if to confirm, and emphasized his tone, "little sister, are you afraid that our Zhenguo Mansion will become a bargaining chip for the second prince?"

Su Muxi shook her head. What she was really worried about was Xiao Yunjin's uncertain chess piece. The threat from that night was still echoing in her ears. She had to care. She was afraid that her mother would not be able to leave, just like in her previous life, so she had to make plans for both situations.

"I cannot predict the Emperor's decision. But we cannot be controlled by others. We must be the sword in the Emperor's hand, not a stepping stone for the fight between the two kings."

"Yesterday, I ran into Prince An by chance. He felt that something was fishy about the case of my sister-in-law, so he went to the crime scene to check it out. He told me that someone had led him to investigate Wanxiang Tower."

Su Muchuan knew that Zhao Siyu was abducted to Wanxiang Tower and almost lost her innocence, and that her marriage was replaced by her elder sister.

Considering the incident of Princess Kangping, it is not difficult to guess that this is just a case of one plan failing and then coming up with another.

No matter who poisoned her, it couldn't be the second prince's fiancée, so Zhao Siyu became the scapegoat.

"I understand. What about my little sister and father?"

"I don't know. Let's prepare for the worst. If father comes back tonight with the imperial edict to leave Beijing, you should go to the northwest first. If father doesn't come back, you and second brother should split up and take your people away overnight. I have already sent Ah Da to meet you in advance."

This was equivalent to disobeying the imperial order and leaving the capital. Su Muchuan felt heavy in his heart, but Su Muxi had arranged someone to pick him up. According to the itinerary, the time when Su Muxi contacted A'da was most likely the day when the eldest sister-in-law assassinated him.

Su Muchuan realized belatedly that his younger sister had predicted that something would happen in the capital at that time. "Okay, I'll do as my younger sister says. Be careful in the capital."

"Yes," Su Muxi nodded, "Third brother, don't worry. Things haven't reached the point where people will die."

After hearing Su Muxi's words, Su Muchuan felt heavy in his heart.

"it is good."
