Tragic death and rebirth, I remarried the scumbag uncle on the spot

"Your Highness, there's news from the palace. Another assassin was indeed one who sneaked in, and he has committed suicide by taking poison." A guard walked up to Xie Sui and reported what happened at Prince Chen's palace.

Xie Sui nodded, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he asked, "Is the princess okay?"

"The princess is fine."

After finishing his business here, Xie Sui prepared to leave the palace.

On the way out, he happened to meet the queen who was returning empty-handed from Chengqian Palace.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager." Xie Sui bowed.

The Queen knew that it was Xie Sui who personally delivered the imperial edict, and sent Xie Zhiyi out of the palace. She also had some opinions about Xie Sui, but now she couldn't see the Emperor, so she could only ask Xie Sui.

"No need to be so polite. I wonder if my royal brother could tell me what mistake Yong'an has made that His Majesty has punished him so severely this time, leaving him away for three years." The Queen looked worried.

"Yong'an accepted bribes, acted in favoritism and committed fraud. An assassin sneaked into the maid sent to Prince Chen's Mansion and wanted to kill Awan." Xie Sui did not hide it from her and told her the truth, which was also a warning to the Queen.

The first half of the sentence had already frightened the Queen. How could Yong'an possibly do such a treasonous thing? The second half made her even more panicked.

assassin?

She had no intention of killing anyone. She just couldn't stand Yu Guiwan and never thought of harming her.

She also understood Yong'an's character. Although he was arrogant and domineering, he never killed anyone.

"I have no intention of harming Princess Chen." The Queen explained subconsciously. After all, the maid was sent out through her hands, and she was afraid that Xie Sui and His Majesty would misunderstand. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth.

"Your Highness understands that the Empress's wife still needs to discipline Yong'an properly. This time, he is just reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors. If he makes the same mistake again next time, it won't be so easy."

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Xie Sui nodded slightly and left with his men.

After Xie Sui left, the head maid beside the Queen asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any further message for Lord Chu?"

She just shook her head. Yongan had made a big mistake this time and no one could save him. She thought for a moment and said, "No need to send a message back."

"She should be taught a lesson this time. Tell father that no one is allowed to send anything to her. She must suffer a lot." The queen looked disappointed in him. Her face was stern, but her eyes were full of pity and heartache.

When Xie Sui came back, Yu Guiwan had already ordered the kitchen to prepare food and was waiting for him.

Yu Guiwan dismissed the servants, and now only she and Xie Sui were left.

She raised her cup, her face full of joy, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Your Highness."

Xie Sui raised his teacup and clinked it with hers, praising her generously. "You're incredibly clever. You discovered the assassin and had someone specifically catch up with my carriage as it entered the palace, informing me of this and allowing me to capitalize on their strategy."

Yu Guiwan was in a good mood after being praised. He waved his hands and praised each other: "Your Highness will definitely find the clues after seeing Lan Xin."

Her face was full of disgust. "But this assassin is very strange. This assassin is too weak."

"I took her down in just a few moves." Yu Guiwan made a few gestures, her face bright and she raised a wanton smile.

Xie Sui looked at Yu Guiwan and curled his lips, with a hint of tenderness between his eyebrows.

"This assassin wants to use Lan You to lure you into the palace, which means that the ultimate goal is me, but why is he targeting me?" Yu Guiwan could never figure out this question.

Obviously, assassinating Xie Sui is much more effective than assassinating her, right?

She only dared to say this in her heart.

"This person must not be aware of your strength, otherwise he would not send such a weak person to assassinate you." Xie Sui's idea was exactly the same as Yu Guiwan's, so there was probably only one person who met this condition.

Thinking of this, Xie Sui frowned and his expression became sharp.

He said seriously, "Then it can only be my royal brother, Xie Xiao."

Yu Guiwan widened his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you mean that Prince Xiaoyao wants to rebel?"

This makes sense. Presumably, the fact that she knows martial arts has not yet reached King Xiaoyao. It seems that King Xiaoyao is getting restless now that he knows that she is married to Xie Sui.

Xie Sui encountered resistance from the Yu family, which was not a good thing in the eyes of Xie Xiao and Xie Yunqi.

Xie Sui nodded slowly and asked casually, "Are you scared? Don't you dare fight for the throne anymore?"

"Your Highness is not afraid, so why should I be afraid?"

Yu Guiwan spoke calmly, but now it seems that Xie Sui is really not an ordinary person. He probably knew that King Xiaoyao had the intention of rebelling a long time ago.

"I just didn't expect His Highness to tell me this news so easily."

Xie Sui seemed to be unprepared for Yu Guiwan to ask this. He chose his words carefully, "Since we're in a partnership, I'll naturally be honest with you. Besides, since you're here for me, I have an obligation to protect you."

"Is Your Highness always like this towards his partners?" Yu Guiwan suddenly asked, feeling that Xie Sui was a little unreal as a good partner.

He lowered his head and said softly, "Of course."

Of course not, you are the only one.

The two chatted for a long time until Xie Sui drank the medicine and then they went back to their respective rooms.

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, King Xiaoyao had no intention of rebelling, because he did not show up until Xie Yunqi ascended the throne. Could it be that some things have become different because of her rebirth?

In that case, Xie Yunqi needs to speed up and not let things get out of hand.

Yu Guiwan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"Fuqiu."

Tonight was Fuqiu's night watch, so she called Fuqiu in.

Fuqiu pushed open the door and walked in, lifting the curtains. "Princess, do you have any instructions?"

Yu Guiwan patted the seat beside the bed and motioned her to sit down. Fuqiu looked puzzled but still sat down obediently.

"You and Furong are old enough to get married. How about I find a good marriage for you after the New Year?" Yu Guiwan waited until she sat down before asking.

Fuqiu immediately grabbed her arm and said aggrievedly, "Miss, do you want us gone?"

Yu Guiwan smiled and comforted her, "You two have followed me since you were young. You can't stay by my side forever. You have to live your own lives too." She held Fuqiu's hand.

"But I don't want to get married. I want to stay with you all my life." Fuqiu looked at Yu Guiwan with tears in her eyes.

"Why are you still crying?"

"If the young lady doesn't mention this matter anymore, I won't cry."

"Okay, okay, no more talking."

Yu Guiwan wiped her tears and his own eyes also turned red.

In her previous life, Fuqiu and Furong had been with her and both had a bad ending. In this life, she wanted to find a good place for them to live a simple life away from the troubles they were in now.

Now it seemed that her current position was becoming increasingly dangerous, and she was afraid that she would not be able to protect the two of them if she stayed with her.
