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

"Let them wake up early."

Qiao Xi collected his thoughts and ordered, "When they wake up, they will definitely check the bodies of the imperial guards. Don't let them see any clues."

Lou Xin quickly responded, "I understand."

Those imperial guards were not dead. The main reason they fell was because of the drug.

But in order to confuse Eunuch Wu and the others, the imperial guards were all injured to some extent. After Eunuch Wu and the others left, these people should have woken up.

There are few fertile fields in northern Xinjiang and the area is often dry. The princess had searched for grain seeds suitable for growing in dry land a few days ago, but is currently short of labor to reclaim the land.

Then I'll send them to the prince.

Thinking of Su Heting, Lou Xin tentatively said, "Princess, I heard that the prince is in good health and is returning to the palace.

I'll take care of the rest. Would you like to go back and see the prince first?"

Qiao Xi's eyes moved slightly.

She really needed to go back to the Jiangbei Palace, so she said, "Lead them to the place I designated as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the imperial edict arrives, if the King of Jiangbei doesn't want to marry Ji Yao, he will have no choice but to disobey it."

Disobeying the imperial order would give the court a reason to attack the northern part of Xinjiang. Lou Xin knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly responded in a serious tone, "I will follow them personally."

Not long after Qiao Xi left, Lou Xin blew some powder into the toilet.

The leader of the imperial guards woke up first and pushed Eunuch Wu.

Dawn had broken, and the two men saw corpses all over the ground in the morning light.

Eunuch Wu was so frightened that his face turned pale. "They are all dead, all dead..."

The leader of the imperial guards had a mixture of hatred and fear in his eyes. He was about to go forward to take a closer look at the corpses when he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. He hurriedly pulled Eunuch Wu and hid.

The leader dismounted and said to the others, "Search carefully to see if he is hiding here. Check all the bodies as well. No one should be left alive."

The rest of the people were busy checking each person's body.

The leader of the imperial guards had sweat all over his back, and without even bothering to put on any clothes, he just grabbed Eunuch Wu and fled.

After running for a long time, the two were about to stop and rest when they heard the sound of horse hooves from behind, so they had to continue running forward.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he wanted to hide in the mountains and rest for a few days, but he found traces of the assassin in the mountains and dared not stay any longer.

When Qiao Xi received the news from Lou Xin, Lou Xin had already successfully led Eunuch Wu and the other man to the dark man in the dark factory.

And she is about to arrive at the King's Palace in Northern Xinjiang.

After the secret agent in the secret factory learned about the matter from Eunuch Wu, he would definitely write a letter to the emperor. If the emperor knew that Ji Chuan had rebellious intentions, would he still dare to let Ji Yao marry Su Heting?

In the study of the palace.

As soon as Su Heting sat down, Liang Shi asked, "Master, why did the poison suddenly take effect?"

His eyes were full of worry, and the blisters on his mouth, which had formed due to anxiety when he knew that Su Heting had taken effect of the poison, had not completely disappeared.

"Are you feeling better now? What did Miss Magpie say?"

When Su Que learned that Su Heting was getting married, she originally wanted to come to the Jiangbei Palace, but halfway through she heard that the medicinal herbs she needed were in the desert Gobi, so she changed her route and went to the desert.

Su Heting needed Su Que when the poison took effect. Liang Shi was worried that Su Heting and the others couldn't find Su He, so he was anxious and wanted to go find him himself. However, Su Heting sent him a letter, forbidding him to go.

Su Heting looked at him with a stern gaze, "Uncle Liang, do you know why I didn't let you go?"

Liang Shi lowered his head and said, "The master asked me to look after the palace."

"So, are you optimistic?"

Liang Shi knelt down for a long time, then said, "I don't believe Qiao Xi. The prince's poison attack this time must have been related to her."

Otherwise, why had he been fine for several years? This time, as soon as Qiao Xi appeared, the master became poisoned.

Once the poison takes effect, it becomes more difficult to detoxify, and it will be very difficult to save the master's life.

"So you allowed Ji Yao to bribe the servants in the mansion, allowed her to find out about the whereabouts of the prince and Qiao Xi, and allowed the servants to reveal Qiao Xi's whereabouts."

Su Heting's jaw was tense, showing his anger at the moment.

"Do you know that the reason why I cooperated with Qiao Xi is for the benefit of Xinjiang?"

"But the master gave her the Yanzhou that he had conquered with great effort. I dare not think about it. If one day she becomes strong enough to compete with the master, what will the master do when the sword is pointed at her?"

Liang Shi bowed his head, "She said she had fallen out with the Emperor, but she has been in contact with him. There are some truths and some lies in this. I don't want my master to take any more risks."

"Even if she conspired with the Emperor to deceive me, so what? If it wasn't her, there would be someone else. The Emperor has long regarded me as a thorn in his side.

And through this cooperation, I have obtained food and water. The people in the northern part of the border will not eat dirt, nor will they exchange their children for food.

Liang Shi, Qiao Xi owes me, so even if I need to collect the debt or seek revenge, I am the only one who can do it."

Su Heting took a deep breath, "If there is a next time, you don't have to stay with me."

"master?"

Liang Shi looked up in shock.

I felt more and more panicked.

The prince was completely bewitched by Qiao Xi.

But he also knew that his master's calling him by name was a warning, so he could only say, "I will never do it again, but I do not regret it."

It would be dangerous for Qiao Xi to stay with her master.

Su Heting waved his hand and said, "Go to Su Que and reflect on your actions for a month. Think about where you went wrong."

He and Qiao Xi had a personal grudge, but he could separate the personal grudge from the business, while Liang Shi mixed the two up.

When Qiao Xi returned to the palace, she learned that Su Heting had just arrived today. After washing up, she went to find Su Heting.

He collided head-on with Liang Shi who was coming out of the study.

Liang Shi bowed and said, "This old servant greets the princess."

Qiao Xi looked at the masked old man in front of him and asked, "Butler Liang?"

She remembered that Bixiang had previously inquired that the steward of the Jiangbei Palace was an old man wearing a mask.

Qiao Xi spent little time in the palace and was never seen.

Liang Shi bowed again, "Yes, old slave."

Seeing that he had nothing else to do, Qiao Xi nodded slightly and prepared to leave.

Liang Shi stepped back, as if he stepped on an uneven surface, and fell backwards to the ground. As he fell, his wide sleeves slipped down, revealing a burnt wrist.

Qiao Xi's heart suddenly trembled.

"Are you okay?"

Qiao Xi raised her hand and helped the man up.

"I am fine, but I disturbed the princess. I deserve to die."

He stepped back, but did not cover his ferocious wrist with his sleeve.

"your hands?"

Qiao Xi asked, "But it's a burn?"

Liang Shi said, "Yes."

"Does it hurt?"

Qiao Xi turned her gaze towards his masked face and asked, "Did it hurt when you were burned by the fire?"

After regaining her memory, she never dared to imagine how painful it was for the prince when he was in the flames during the fire in the palace.

Now that she saw someone in the same situation, she seemed to be asking Liang Shi, but more like asking the prince's ghost, or perhaps asking herself.

"Princess, you're joking. How can a body of flesh and blood not feel pain when it's burned by fire?"

Liang Shi looked back at Qiao Xi and said word by word, "Life is worse than death. The pain is unbearable."

Qiao Xi felt a dull pain in her chest and had difficulty breathing.

No one knew that the Crown Prince was born sensitive to pain, but he was made the Crown Prince since he was a child, and the majesty of the heir made him learn to be patient.

Only when I am with her will I reveal my true feelings.

"Princess, you ask this old servant. Is there anyone around you who has experienced the pain of being burned by a fire?"

Liang Shi's voice rang out again, and Qiao Xi came back to her senses from her grief.

It was the first time he met Liang Shi, so it was inappropriate to ask what he had just said. He nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Liang Shi looked at her gradually receding back and felt confused.

He deliberately let her see his burned wrist so that Qiao Xi would think of the master and the pain the master had suffered, so that she could feel a little pity for the master and stop hurting the master.

But just now there were tears in Qiao Xi's eyes.

Did he see it wrong?

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and followed Qiao Xi's footsteps.
