After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Xiao Mingyue followed Shen Mingxiu to the Yutang Palace where he lived. He didn't even bother to look at her and went to the back hall to change his wet clothes.

Shen Mingxiu was the only one living in Yutang Palace. Originally, he was arranged to live with Shen Junchen, but Shen Junchen didn't want to live with him, so he went to live with Shen Yanli and Shen Xu, so he had to live in a palace by himself.

Xiao Mingyue wrapped her cloak tightly around herself, a smile of success flashing in her eyes.

Ever since she was stripped of her title of princess, she has been thinking about how to turn things around. After thinking about it, she set her sights on Shen Mingxiu.

The fact that a person can hide his ambition for so long shows how big his ambition is and also shows his tolerance. Compared with the Fifth Prince, Shen Mingxiu was able to go from being a useless and transparent prince without any background to being able to compete with the Fifth Prince now, which shows his own ability.

So, she deliberately appeared in front of Princess Le'an, making her feel pity and keep her by her side. As long as she could reach the Canghua Mountain Palace, she would have the opportunity to contact Shen Mingxiu. As long as she could make him realize his own value, she would be able to get rid of her current situation.

Shen Mingxiu came out of the inner room with a cold look on his face, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

He looked at Xiao Mingyue, who looked calm and composed, without a trace of pity or weakness, and said, "Miss Xiao is so calculating!"

Even he dares to plot against you!

Xiao Mingyue smiled confidently, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so angry. Didn't Your Highness also use this opportunity to move out of the palace early?"

Shen Mingxiu looked at her coldly, "Why, do I have to thank you?"

"That's not what I meant. I know what Your Highness is thinking, and I can help you achieve your goal."

Shen Mingxiu sneered, "Just you?"

"Your Highness, although I am no longer a princess, I am still Xiao Yu's daughter and a member of the Xiao family!" Her eyes shone with confidence. "I know your ambition, Your Highness, and I understand that what you lack most right now is military power. I can help you."

Shen Mingxiu's anger gradually subsided, and he looked at Xiao Mingyue with a cold gaze. "You think too highly of yourself. Does the Xiao family still recognize you as their daughter?"

Originally, the Xiao family didn't like them, mother and daughter. Xiao Mingyue had been staying in Kyoto City with Princess Shaoyang for many years and had never been to the northwest. Xiao Yu didn't seem to have much affection for his daughter.

Xiao Mingyue smiled slightly, "Your Highness, don't worry about that. I am the blood of the Xiao family. The Xiao family has always acknowledged this. As for how I can help Your Highness seize the Xiao family's military power, that is my business. You and I have been cousins ​​for so many years. Your Highness must have some understanding of my abilities."

Shen Mingxiu taunted, "Your ability is now that you've lost your title of princess and become an ordinary citizen?"

Xiao Mingyue's face was cold, "Who knew Cui Xuan was so useless! He even implicated me! Your Highness should be thankful that your cooperation with him is not too deep, so you can get out of this matter in time!"

Shen Mingxiu and Cui Xuan were naturally familiar with each other. What was most needed to seize power was naturally silver. Cui Xuan's uncle was the salt transport envoy, which was the most profitable industry. In order to get in touch with his uncle, he was naturally familiar with Cui Xuan. Fortunately, he didn't have much contact with him, otherwise, he would have been exposed during the investigation by Marquis Wuyang.

Seeing that he was interested, Xiao Mingyue continued, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so cautious. I just want a place to stay. I will help you contact the Xiao family and manage your assets. I manage my mother's assets, so I have some experience in making money."

"There is no harm in cooperating with me, Your Highness."

Shen Mingxiu lowered his eyes and pondered Cui Mingyue's words. After a while, he looked up at her and said, "As long as you stay in my house and work hard for me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

Xiao Mingyue smiled and the cooperation was reached.

At this time, in Yonghe Palace, Lord Cao was reporting to Emperor Jingyou the results of the interrogation of the three assassins.

"Your Majesty, the three assassins confessed that they were sent by the Fifth Prince to kill the Fourth Prince."

"Old Fifth?" Emperor Jingyou put down the memorial in his hand and raised his stern brows. "Lord Cao, do you believe it?"

Lord Cao said calmly, "I will continue the interrogation and will definitely pry open their mouths!"

"Ah."

"Wei Chen retire."

Lord Cao withdrew. Emperor Jingyou's eyes flashed coldly, "Ziheng, what do you think?"

Prime Minister Lu smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty has already made up his mind, hasn't he?"

Emperor Jingyou had a very cold expression on his face. He had his own intentions when he came to Canghua Mountain to escape the summer heat and left the fifth son behind to govern the country. Although he had no concrete evidence that the fourth son had problems, if Ye Qingyu had not made advance preparations and pointed out the danger in the northern border, and if the Gu family had not trusted Ye Qingyu's words, not only the northern border, but the entire Daqing would have been dragged into dire straits.

Lao Wu accused Shen Mingxiu of colluding with the Huns and committing treason, although there was no evidence, and even the merchant who passed the northern border map to the Huns was dead and could not testify, but the Jinyiwei still found out that this merchant had some connection with Shen Mingxiu's people, although there was no specific evidence.

This concerns the safety of Daqing, even if there is a slight sign, it must be strangled!

He didn't mind his son having ambitions to fight for the throne, but he would not keep anyone who disregarded the safety of the country for this ambition, even if he was his son!

Emperor Jingyou sighed deeply, "I hope he won't do anything that would cause me to kill him."

Lu Xiang remained silent and drank tea leisurely.

Emperor Jingyou couldn't bear to see him so relaxed and at ease. "I didn't call you here to drink tea! Ziheng, can't you see the memorials in front of me? Can't you be kind and help me solve some of them?"

Prime Minister Lu put down his teacup and sighed, "Your Majesty, I am not at ease at all. I am also very distressed. Alas!"

Emperor Jingyou looked at him coldly, not believing him at all. "Keep making up stories!"

"I am really troubled. I don't know which bastard has seduced my daughter Yao'er. Seeing that my daughter has troubles but doesn't tell me, and she won't tell me when I ask her, I am really distressed. If Yao'er falls for a guy who looks good but has a bad heart and is extremely ugly, I will be so upset that I can't sleep at night just thinking about it."

Emperor Jingyou, "..."

"I will arrange a marriage for Yao'er. Which boy has Ziheng taken a fancy to? That will solve the problem."

Lu Xiang really thought about it seriously, and then shook his head, "No, if it's not the boy Yao'er likes, forcing her to marry someone she doesn't like, wouldn't that kill her?"

"That's why I brought her to Canghua Mountain. I wanted her to relax and stay away from that brat so she could calm down."

Prime Minister Lu sighed helplessly, "Alas, having a daughter means worrying about it. Your Majesty, please read the memorials yourself. I still have to go see Yao'er."

With that, Prime Minister Lu gracefully stood up and said goodbye, then swiftly slipped out of Yonghe Palace.

Emperor Jingyou was speechless. What was he worried about his daughter? Ziheng just didn't want to help him read the memorials!
