Mother, I have returned to the throne.

When it's getting dark.

Ye Xuan finally returned to the Zhenbei Palace.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

The servants walked with their necks hunched, clearly afraid of offending their masters.

It seems that the women in the Zhenbei Palace have been angry a lot.

backyard.

Ye Xuan saw her sister-in-law and niece practicing martial arts.

The two had no place to vent their anger and could only regard each other as opponents.

Mrs. Situ was holding a spear, but she had a bit of a masculine air. She stopped the moment she saw Ye Xuan.

"If that brat asked you to persuade me, I think you should just keep quiet!"

All the bastards were called out.

It looks like true energy!

Ye Xuan frowned, and naturally would not admit it: "Sister, you are joking. No matter what, this is my own home. It's not wrong for my younger sister to go home, right?"

Seeing Madam Situ's suspicious face, Ye Xuan quickly said with a smile, "I haven't been back for a few days. Do you think I'm an outsider?"

"Okay, okay, okay, my sister is very eloquent, what else can I say?" Mrs. Situ lost her momentum, threw down the gun in her hand and walked forward.

"I'm not targeting you, I'm targeting that bastard!"

Ye Xuan quickly nodded in agreement: "Sister is right, Your Highness has indeed gone too far this time. So, why not let me walk with you, so you can relax!"

Mrs. Situ was slightly stunned, and nodded after a moment of silence.

Seeing this, Situ Jing, who was standing by, immediately tried to come forward, but was stopped by Ye Xuan.

"Jing'er, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you really need to change your temper sometimes. He's a prince, how could you treat him like this? It's only because the eldest prince has a good temper. If it were someone else, they would definitely punish you!"

Facing such a scolding, Situ Jing's eyes widened and she responded unhappily, "Auntie, why are you talking about me too?"

"Tell me what I did wrong? Wasn't it for his own good?"

"Come on, I'll talk to your aunt, and you don't have to get involved. But you have to change your temper. Next time, be more careful about what you do!"

Mrs. Situ, who was standing by, had already realized that Ye Xuan clearly wanted to talk to her in private.

My silly daughter is ignorant, so shouldn't she change?

Soon, the two of them arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. Situ was, one in front and one behind.

The two women understood each other tacitly, and Mrs. Situ simply waved her hand and drove all the servants away.

Then he looked at Ye Xuan with a serious face and asked softly, "Can you say anything now?"

Ye Xuan just smiled and then pulled out a stack of rice paper from her sleeve.

This is what Song Yuan taught me last night. He had told me to burn it after reading it.

Ye Xuan was a step slow, and she didn't expect that it would come in handy now.

"Sister, please take a look at these poems first, it's not too late to speak later!"

Mrs. Situ patiently unfolded the rice paper, and her eyebrows raised instantly. After all, they were all wealthy ladies. Even if they could not write poetry, they could at least appreciate the flavor of it.

"These poems are indeed quite good, but since my sister has brought this thing out, I have to say something to you. You must keep this thing away from now on, lest that bastard see it. If he then spreads your poems around, who knows what kind of trouble he might get into!"

"Sister, what you said is not right. Do you think I have the literary talent?" Ye Xuan smiled and shook her head.

Madam Situ was horrified and refused to believe it. "Who else could it be if not you? Could it be that bastard?"

"Jing'er told me everything. When he was teaching Young Master Zhao a lesson, he confessed that you gave him all these poems!"

"Sister, everyone has a mouth. What they say is one thing, and the truth is another!" Ye Xuan smiled meaningfully: "Is it possible that the eldest prince lied?"

"The reason he said that was so everyone would think I wrote the poem... so he could continue to be that loser that he is!"

"This……"

Hearing Ye Xuan's implication, Madam Situ was shocked and asked, "What exactly do you mean?"

"Sister, my meaning is very simple. I came here today just to tell you the truth!"

Ye Xuan took a step forward and leaned over to Madam Situ's ear: "All the poems you just saw, including the one the eldest prince recited yesterday, were written by him. The eldest prince didn't want to make a big deal, so he pushed everything onto me. As for the eldest prince's nonsense, he did it on purpose. He wasn't drunk at all!"

"You..." Madam Situ's eyes widened, and she felt a little confused: "I don't understand why this guy is hiding like this?"

"Doesn't he know that there's a risk of losing his life if he goes to the border?"

Seeing that Madam Situ had truly taken her words to heart, Ye Xuan finally spoke in a sermon, "Sister, the truth is simple. Sometimes, those in the know are often confused. Let's break it down. Let me ask you, a prince born to a maidservant, helpless and destitute for over a decade, would it be better for him to stay in the imperial city and compete with his brothers, or go to the frontier, escape their influence, and seek other opportunities?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Situ frowned immediately.

I could taste the flavor immediately.

The competition between the princes was all about backing. Song Yuan had no one to rely on, and even Song Youji dared to say in front of all the civil and military officials that the boy had no right to inherit the throne!

What else can I use to compete with other princes?

Leaving the imperial city is not a loss at all for Song Yuan!

On the contrary, he can get rid of the influence of other princes, which can be said to be a hundred benefits with no harm!

The real threat comes from the barbarians.

The barbarians are a formidable enemy. If Song Yuan cannot cope with them, wouldn’t he be dying in vain?

After much hesitation, Mrs. Situ finally expressed her fears.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan smiled and shook her head: "Sister, if you say that the eldest prince is cowardly and foolish, then I can only say that you really misjudged him!"

"We've been together for so long, sister, you should know my abilities. Haven't you noticed my attitude towards the eldest prince?"

"If he is really as he appears to be, how could I possibly condescend to be his housekeeper?"

Having said that, Ye Xuan came over again and described everything that Song Yuan had done to her before.

Secretly spread rumors and framed the prince.

Use the event of moving to accumulate money.

Spreading rumors everywhere in a high-profile manner, just to escape the constraints of the imperial city!

After hearing the last part, Madam Situ opened her mouth wide and murmured, "If this kid is really as you said, then it would be too scary!"

A person endured for more than ten years and became a fool in everyone's eyes.

But in fact, he was eloquent and pretended to be building a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang.

Such a person can only be described by the word "terrible"!

It is not difficult for a person to be high-profile. As long as you have the ability, anyone can be in the spotlight.

The difficult thing is that there is a person who has the ability but can hide his edge and make everyone misjudge him!

Just this kind of cunning is enough to scare people away.

Is this still the cheap son-in-law in my impression?

"Sister, don't be surprised. I'm afraid that what I said has underestimated the eldest prince. Let me put it this way, I've been in the Zhenbei Palace for so many years, and I've dealt with quite a few people, but he is the only one I can't see through!"

Ye Xuan's face was solemn as she continued, "What I said is only what I know. As for what I don't know, who knows how much the eldest prince has done in secret!"

Hearing Ye Xuan's fear, Madam Situ was shocked: "According to what you said, this kid may not be a good thing for my Zhenbei Palace!"

A person who has endured for many years will inevitably explode once he achieves his goal!

When Song Yuan goes to the border, as long as he gains a foothold, it will be like a time bomb that will explode at any time, hurting others and himself!

If Song Yuan really did something treasonous, how could the Zhenbei Palace, as a relative, remain unscathed?

Just thinking about it made Mrs. Situ feel scared.

However, Ye Xuan was open-minded about this matter and kept reminding herself: "Sister, are we unable to take care of good things? Think about it, does our Zhenbei Palace still have any choice now?"

Yup!

Madam Situ nodded subconsciously. From the moment His Majesty arrived, their Zhenbei Palace had been on the same boat with Song Yuan.

Now he is in the Zhenbei Palace and has been labeled as the eldest prince. How can he turn back?

Even if all of Song Yuan's actions were exposed, how could His Majesty believe it?

At that time, it will only add to the trouble, and the Zhenbei Palace may even be charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor.

From the moment the marriage agreement was signed, the Zhenbei Palace had no choice but to go down this path!

Where is there any room for choice?

"It seems that the only thing we can do is to help!"

"Sister, it's fine if you keep these words to yourself, but don't dare tell Jing'er!"

Seeing that Madam Situ had already accepted this reality, Ye Xuan hurriedly warned, "Also, just pretend you haven't heard these words. Deal with it as you should. Beat him or scold him, but don't praise him!"

"If your temper changes drastically and those people outside notice it, it will probably only cause more trouble!"

Mrs. Situ frowned when she heard the last part: "Did that boy tell you this?"

Ye Xuan nodded, a look of bewilderment in her eyes. "That kid is incredibly meticulous and considers things much more thoroughly than I do. Even I'm starting to wonder how terrifying he is."

Seeing Ye Xuan's solemn expression, Mrs. Situ couldn't help but be shocked.

In the entire Zhenbei Palace, Ye Xuan is not ranked high when it comes to martial arts.

But when it comes to brains, no matter how many of them were combined, they couldn't compare to her!

Even Ye Xuan had such emotion, which shows how terrifying Song Yuan is.

I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse for the Zhenbei Palace to have such a son-in-law?

Everything will have to wait and see!
