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

Su Heting glanced at the tea and said calmly, "Capture Yanzhou and march towards Yincheng."

Below Yanzhou is Yincheng, where Ji Chuan lives and is considered the core of the entire southern Xinjiang.

Qiao Xi thought about it and said, "Letting the Yao family see Ji Chuan's defeat will indeed make it easier for them to make a choice."

"Who is Ji Chuan's son?"

Su Heting asked.

Qiao Xi hadn't mentioned it before because Su Heting hadn't agreed to cooperate yet, but now that the siege arrangements had been finalized, she said, "Prince Yong.

The first time was a plot by the Emperor, but over the years, Ji Chuan and Princess Yong have been in contact. Every time Ji Chuan went to the capital, Princess Yong would use the excuse of staying at the manor house for a while, but in fact she was having a secret meeting with Ji Chuan.

Su Heting played a tune with his long fingers.

Uncle Yong, the Prince of Yong, was a rare upright person in the royal family, yet he was plotted against by those corrupt people.

This royal family is indeed rotten, and that person is also rotten.

Su Heting suppressed his emotions and said with a gloomy expression, "The emperor issued two imperial edicts this time. You guessed the one about Ji Yao, but what about the other one?"

Qiao Xi didn't have to think too much, she had already guessed, "Give me in marriage to you."

Su Heting raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "He also regarded Liangzhou as your dowry."

Qiao Xi paused and murmured, "He is even more shameless than I thought."

She knew that the emperor would definitely be tempted by the 100,000 Jiangbei troops, so when she was abducted by Su Heting to Jiangbei to get married, he would go with the flow and grant her and Su Heting a marriage.

One is to do Su Heting a favor to show the court's appreciation of Su Heting and maintain the illusion of harmony between the monarch and his subjects.

Secondly, he placed himself in a weak position to contrast the King of the North of Xinjiang, who was so powerful that he threatened the emperor and despised the court, thus laying the groundwork for labeling him as a rebel king in the future.

Third, the imperial court recognized their marital relationship. Once Su Heting died, she, the Princess of Jiangbei, could naturally take over the Jiangbei Army and lead them to submit to the imperial court. The emperor would be a good emperor who could endure humiliation and work hard for the sake of the world.

But she never expected that the emperor would give the lost city as her dowry.

If Liangzhou really belonged to Xu An, the emperor's move would not only alienate Su Heting and Xu An, but also allow him to use Su Heting to take back Liangzhou.

Qiao Xi pressed his temples and asked, "How long will it take for the imperial edict delivery team to reach northern Xinjiang?"

Su Heting's sinister eyes swept towards Qiao Xi, "If you want to get the imperial edict, it's best to destroy it together with the Ji family's edict."

The emperor granted the marriage between Ji Yao and Su Heting, and he would definitely send an imperial edict to the Ji family. He only destroyed the two imperial edicts sent to Jiangbei, and could not erase this marriage.

Qiao Xi did have the idea of ​​destroying the imperial edict.

Although Liangzhou belongs to her, once the imperial edict is issued, people's hearts will inevitably be shaken, and it is hard to guarantee that people in northern Xinjiang will not have any thoughts.

She had finally built up her territory and couldn't let the dog emperor mess it up.

But seeing Su Heting's gloomy face, Qiao Xi subconsciously felt that if she only destroyed the imperial decree granting her and Su Heting's marriage, but did not deal with Ji Yao and Su Heting's marriage at the same time, Su Heting would definitely not let her go.

From Ji Chuan's reaction that day, she was certain that Ji Chuan recognized the jade token and that her fourth brother was indeed not dead.

He was still waiting for her to save him, so she couldn't fight with Su Heting.

After clarifying her current situation, Qiao Xi asked with some regret, "Are you really unwilling to marry Ji Yao?"

Qiao Xi was willing to sacrifice her marriage for revenge, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Heting taking Ji Yao as his concubine in order to win over the Yao family.

This would also allow Ji Chuan to complain about the emperor.

Moreover, Su Heting had forced her to marry him before, which showed that he was very casual about marriage. I didn't expect that when it came to Ji Yao, he would be so resistant.

If Su Heting disobeyed the order, the emperor would have a reason to attack northern Xinjiang, which would disrupt Qiao Xi's plan.

Su Heting's eyes were gloomy. "Qiao Xi, you are too presumptuous in front of this king."

Qiao Xi thought that the reason why Su Heting was so angry might not be because he was unwilling to take a concubine, but because he was unwilling to be schemed against by her.

A man's dignity is at work.

Sure enough, Su Heting said, "I will not allow you to interfere with what kind of woman I want."

Qiao Xi nodded secretly in her heart. It was not that she didn't want other women, but she didn't like to be passively accepted.

"Then does Your Majesty have any way to get the Yao family to join you?"

Qiao Xi's expression was calm. "The Yao family has the food that the prince needs."

Su Heting scoffed, "Qiao Xi, if you want revenge, you must have the ability to do so. Your brain is far from enough right now."

These words were very hurtful, but Qiao Xi was not annoyed. She admitted her shortcomings and was willing to listen to any words that could help her become stronger, even if they were harsh.

She was not unaware that she was a little crazy.

But the meaning of her life now is to find her fourth brother and take revenge.

"Please give me some advice, Your Majesty."

Su Heting was in a complicated mood. He wanted to say something harsh to Qiao Xi, but he couldn't stand her good temper.

Everyone is born with a temper, and good temper is honed by reality.

Qiao Xi was not like this before.

“If you want someone to surrender, you must either completely defeat him or make him afraid.

When people suffer minor injuries, they will think about revenge, but they are powerless when faced with fatal threats.

The marriage is just a bond. The Yao family can abandon Ji Chuan and can also abandon me, but fear will make them weigh the cost of betraying me."

"The prince meant to intimidate the Yao family, but even rabbits can bite if pushed too far."

Like a student eager to learn, Qiao Xi asked devoutly, "What if the Yao family makes a desperate bet, or turns to someone else..."

Su Heting stood up and said over Qiao Xi's head, "Perform the evil deeds once and for all, and grant favors bit by bit."

Qiao Xi suddenly looked up, her heart stopping, "You...how do you know this?"

She entered the palace as an orphan and was nominally raised by the queen. However, the queen didn't even care about her own son, so how could she care about her?

She was bound to be bullied by some palace servants who pretended to obey her but actually disobeyed her. She was a child of the Qiao family, and she had been taught since childhood that if she was bullied, she had to fight back.

Although this frightened those people, they still avoided her. It was the prince who taught her how to control her subordinates.

That's what he said at the time.

However, later on, the prince protected her so well that she didn't have to do anything, as he took care of everything for her.

These words are also hidden in the distant memory.

A man's arrogant voice came to my ears, "There are many birds of prey and wild beasts in the mountains. They all want to eat me to fill their stomachs. If I defeat them and give them some food from time to time, they can be used by me.

If you encounter many things, you will naturally understand the truth."

This was the second time that Qiao Xi saw the shadow of the prince in Su Heting, and she was not easily fooled.

Qiao Xi suddenly attacked, aiming for his heart.

Su Heting didn't shy away, but raised his hand to catch hers, interlocked his five fingers with hers, and dragged her in front of him. "What are you doing? Do you want to kill me again?"

Qiao Xi's eyes flickered slightly.

She had murderous intentions last time, and Su Heting knew what she was thinking.

She thrust her elbow backwards, and at the same time, Qiao Xi stepped hard on Su Heting's instep.

Su Heting avoided them all, but Qiao Xi also broke free from her shackles.

The two men started fighting in the room.

Qiao Xi's heart grew a little lost, and she withdrew her hand.

There is no trace of a prince in his martial arts. He is Su Heting, not her brother the prince.

She was delusional.

If he was the Crown Prince, how could he not recognize her?

Su Heting pressed her against his chest, strangling her neck with his forearm, "You always attack your own husband. Not only are you incompetent in revenge, but the Princess of Jiangbei is also extremely unqualified.

Take care of Ji Yao's matter, or I will take over your Liang Province first."

Without waiting for Qiao Xi to answer, Su Heting strode away.

Qiao Xi hesitated between going to Xu Mansion or going back with Su Heting, when she heard Su Heting's cold and threatening voice, "If you dare to run, the King will attack Liangzhou tomorrow."

His face looked extremely ugly.

He knew that Qiao Xi was testing him, so he would not let her notice it easily.

But from Qiao Xi's moves, he had a vague guess about the man in her heart.

Thinking of that person, Su Heting's heart became extremely gloomy.
