Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Su Heting narrowed his eyes, "What are you planning now?"

There is a food shortage in northern Xinjiang, so of course he wants more food.

But he could see that Qiao Xi would do anything to get revenge.

Qiao Xi took a step closer and said, "Ji Yao has been detained in the Jiangbei Palace for so long, and Ji Chuan has not responded. It is obvious that he does not intend to explain to the prince."

She knew that Ji Chuan had a weak spot that was pinched by the emperor, and he didn't dare to handle the matter on his own without asking the emperor first.

And based on her understanding of the emperor, the possibility of Su Heting using Ji Yao to exchange for food was extremely small, even...

Qiao Xi's eyes flickered as she continued, "But Ji Yao's maternal grandfather, Yao Qingshan, only had one daughter, Ji Yao's mother, and Madam Ji only had one child, Ji Yao.

Therefore, the Yao family cares more about Ji Yao than Ji Chuan. "

"But the Yao family didn't respond."

When Su Heting sent someone to write a letter to the Yao family, Qiao Xi was next to them. When she mentioned the Yao family again, Su Heting knew that Qiao Xi must have a plan.

Qiao Xi didn't keep him in suspense and said bluntly, "That's because they don't know. Ji Chuan doesn't only have Ji Yao as his daughter. He also has a son with someone else who is raised in the capital."

On the surface, Ji Chuan has deep feelings for Madam Ji and does not want her to go through the pain of childbirth again. He only wants Ji Yao to have a daughter and does not allow her to have any more. In fact, he already has a son. Madam Ji and the Yao family are unaware of this and believe in Ji Chuan's deep affection.

The Yao family is quiet right now, they must have been coaxed by Ji Chuan.

If they knew the truth, would the Yao family still cooperate with Ji Chuan as before and let Ji Chuan have whatever he wants?

Su Heting frowned slightly.

That's it!

After guessing that Ji Chuan was the emperor's man, he thought that Ji Chuan must ask the emperor for instructions before daring to negotiate with him.

But I'm afraid the emperor would be reluctant to exchange food for Ji Yao.

Therefore, he got off the carriage halfway that day and returned to southern Xinjiang to make second-hand preparations.

"You want to use my name to let the Yao family know that Ji Chuan has another son?"

Qiao Xi nodded.

Su Heting sneered, "You are using me more and more easily now. So, won't I have to take the blame for you again?"

Qiao Xi also laughed, "The prince said that if a husband and wife are of one mind, they will naturally share weal and woe."

The last time they performed in the inn, the emperor would definitely suspect that it was Su Heting who instigated Xu An to rebel.

Su Heting did take the blame for her.

And he took the initiative to carry it.

Qiao Xi wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her. Cooperation meant give and take, and she would repay him. "If I can get the Yao family to switch sides with the prince, then the prince won't be at a loss for taking the blame."

Su Heting said, "The Yao and Ji families have been related by marriage for more than ten years, and the interests behind them are complicated. This one incident alone may not be enough to break them apart."

What's more, Ji Chuan is the emperor's man, so the Yao family is truly loyal to the emperor.

Although he is the King of Xinjiang North, he is from the rebel army after all and is not orthodox. The Yao family, which has developed its family business into a world-famous family, is not short of smart people.

How could they easily abandon the royal family and join him?

But Qiao Xi seemed confident of winning.

Su Heting looked at Qiao Xi suspiciously.

Qiao Xi's eyelashes are thick and long, and when she closes her eyes slightly, they are like two feather fans, hiding all the emotions in her eyes, making it impossible to see through her thoughts.

Su Heting bent his index finger slightly, lifted her chin, and stared at her, "You seem very sure that this can succeed."

Qiao Xi raised her eyes, her eyes bright and clear, "Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, no matter how rich the Yao family is, their status is only that of merchants. They chose Ji Chuan and the emperor just to seek support.

If their support is no longer theirs, they will be smart enough to seek new protection."

Su Heting's eyebrows twitched slightly, "What do you want to do?"

"Took everything from Ji Chuan."

Including his life.

Qiao Xi spoke in a leisurely tone, as if she was talking about something very ordinary, "Let the emperor no longer trust the Yao family."

Su Heting was silent.

After a long pause, he smacked Qiao Xi on the forehead with a slap. "This king really wants to cut open your guts and see how fat they are."

Girls now dare to seize cities at will.

Qiao Xi was caught off guard, covering the area that hurt and backing away, "Your Majesty, using violence against your wife is ungentlemanly."

Su Heting took a long step and slammed his head on Qiao Xi's head again. "When did I ever claim to be a gentleman? Now you think you are my wife."

“Your Highness, don’t say you have no intention of seizing the city. The tax grain is only enough to sustain the northern part of the border for more than a month.

Even if it rains in northern Xinjiang next month, it will take time for crops to grow, so the most effective way is to capture the cities under Jichuan's jurisdiction."

Qiao Xi continued to hide.

"The emperor is unkind, and Dayou has long been in chaos, with local vassal states separatist.

At present, all forces are restraining each other and living in peace.

But if the prince dares to act rashly against Ji Chuan, the other forces will worry that the prince will annex Ji Chuan and then covet them.

At that time, in order to protect themselves, they will definitely unite to attack the prince. Then the prince will be troubled both internally and externally, and will be attacked from all sides. This is why the prince did not send troops easily before.

But now the prince has to move for the sake of the soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang, but the prince does not want northern Xinjiang to become a place where various forces attack.

Therefore, the prince appeared here today to send troops under Xu An's name.

Xu An and Ji Chuan have a personal grudge. Even if Xu An swallowed up all of southern Xinjiang, from the perspective of the various vassal states, it would just be a change of leader. The previous balance of power remains intact, and it poses no threat to them."

Su Heting paused.

That's exactly what he intended.

Qiao Xi guessed all of them correctly.

But the reason he appeared here today, besides the reason Qiao Xi mentioned, was also because he learned that she had taken the red fox and green snake to the Ji family, and he was worried that she would take risks and implicate them.

Yes, he was just worried about them.

Su Heting collected his thoughts. He had never underestimated Qiao Xi's intelligence, but he had no idea that she now had control over the political situation. "You won't let me gain any advantage for nothing. Tell me, what do you want this time?"

"Jichuan governs five continents. Excluding Liangzhou, there are four continents left. You and I each have two continents."

Naturally, after the success, these cities will all be under Xu An's control.

Tool man Xu An: Is there anyone who wants to hear my appeal?

Su Heting frowned, "What a big appetite, do you want that position?"

Qiao Xi shook her head. "I know myself well. I'm not that kind of person, Your Majesty. I just want revenge."

On this basis, if possible, she hopes to support a wise ruler for the people of the world.

It can also be regarded as a continuation of the will of the Qiao family's generations of heroes to protect the people's peace and maintain peace in the world.

Su Heting sneered, "Qiao Xi, I understood a truth when I was very young: those who encourage others to become powerful will eventually bring about their own destruction.

This prince supported you, but I never thought that in the end, I would be nurturing a tiger that would become a threat to me, and you would bite me instead. "

"Your Majesty is afraid?"

Qiao Xi walked up to Su Heting, pinched his sleeves with both hands, raised her head, and her eyes were full of provocation.

Su Heting didn't finish the second half of his sentence. If he was strong enough, he could still control the tiger no matter how ferocious it was.

But Su Heting has his own concerns.

He was extremely poisonous.

If there is no antidote, she will have to meet the King of Hell early. Who knows what trouble this tigress Qiao Xi will cause then.

"What will you do if I don't agree?"

Qiao Xi smiled, but exerted a little force with her hands, "Find Xu An, or other vassal forces to cooperate."

Su Heting saw through her at a glance.

Pretend to be calm!

It's just like when we were little and were unsure about things but pretending to be confident.

But he had no doubt that if he did not agree, Qiao Xi would be determined to find someone else to cooperate with.

It seems he has to work hard to live longer.

"Which city can Xu An capture with just those tens of thousands of men?"

There was a dangerous light in Su Heting's dark pupils. "How are you going to deal with the Emperor?"

Qiao Xi was not embarrassed when she was seen through.

Although changing partners will make things much more difficult, as long as you are willing to make sacrifices, you can always find a way out.

Besides, she knew that Su Heting would cooperate because he couldn't bear to see the people behind him starve or suffer from the war.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi was stunned. Why did she inexplicably feel that she knew Su Heting very well?

Why am I so sure that Su Heting is someone who can't let go of the people?

Because she was stunned, she was not prepared for Su Heting to bend down and carry her on his shoulders. "I think you deserve to be punished. I am not dead yet, and you are thinking of looking for someone else."

"What are you going to do?" Qiao Xi came to her senses and grabbed the back of his shirt.

Su Heting said viciously, "Do what this king should do."
