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

A quarter of an hour later, Qiao Xi woke up from the nightmare.

She was drenched in sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the water, and felt even more tired than before she went to bed.

After stretching out his arms and legs for a moment, Qiao Xi stood up from the couch, told the maid to get some hot water, and took a bath.

"Where is the prince?"

Coming out of the bathroom, seeing that it was already dusk, Qiao Xi asked the maid.

As a princess, she should have meals with Su Heting when she was in the mansion if he needed her.

The maid replied, "The prince went to the manor for something and said he wouldn't be back tonight."

Qiao Xi guessed that Su Heting went to the farm for the golden rice seeds, so she didn't think much about it and ate some casually.

Then he carried the food box to the yard where Ji Yao was imprisoned.

"What are you here for?"

Ji Yao looked angry, "Where's Su Heting? Call him over, I want to see him."

She had been locked up in this simple courtyard for nearly two months, eating bland food every day and having no one to serve her. Su Heting had never visited her once, and the love in his heart had long since turned into resentment.

"The prince is not in the palace, so I have the opportunity to come and see you."

Qiao Xi put the food box on the table and said, "I secretly brought this for you. Please have some."

The aroma of the pork elbow wafted into Ji Yao's nose, and she couldn't help swallowing. She hadn't eaten meat since she was imprisoned.

But thinking that all this was because of Qiao Xi, she raised her hand to hit Qiao Xi, "Stop being so hypocritical. If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this?"

Qiao Xi grabbed her wrist and said, "You were the one who wanted to kill me first, and you almost ruined His Majesty's plan."

"What do you mean?" Ji Yao frowned.

What does her killing Qiao Xi have to do with the emperor?

Qiao Xi glanced outside the door and whispered, "I was originally the commander of His Majesty's secret factory. I was ordered to escort the tax grain back to the capital, but Su Heting abducted me and the grain and brought me to the north of Xinjiang.

His Majesty ordered me to kill Su Heting to atone for my crime, but you wanted to kill me because of personal feelings. Tell me, didn't you almost ruin His Majesty's plan?"

"You, you are so brave."

Ji Yao was shocked.

She never imagined that Qiao Xi actually wanted to kill Su Heting.

Then Qiao Xi said, "Isn't your father also His Majesty's man? His original purpose in having you marry Su Heting was the same as mine."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Yao retorted.

But she did not deny that her father was indeed His Majesty's man, and so was her maternal grandfather's family.

Therefore, she never worried that the imperial court would take action against the Ji family, which is why she came to northern Xinjiang so arrogantly, confident that Su Heting would marry her.

But in the end she was locked up by Su Heting.

Qiao Xi was the culprit. How could she trust Qiao Xi's words? She angrily said, "The King of Jiangbei is a meritorious official of the court, guarding the border for Dayou. How could Your Majesty kill him? My father and he have no grudges against each other. Don't try to stir up trouble."

She met Su Heting while out for a trip and fell in love with him at first sight. When she learned that he was the King of the North who drove away the barbarians, she decided to marry him.

Her father knew what she was thinking, and instead of objecting, he repeatedly praised her for her vision. Her father loved her to the core, and if he wanted to kill Su Heting, how could he allow her to marry and let her be a widow in the future?

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Your Majesty's thoughts are beyond your comprehension. As for your father's plans, you can ask him later."

Ji Chuan was so focused on cultivating his son that he raised his daughter to be so naive.

"Why do you think the prince wants to lock you up? Because he knows your motives are not pure. Who would treat someone who wants to kill him kindly?

However, after spending some time with him, I discovered that although Su Heting was rude and impolite, he had no rebellious intentions towards the court and was a good defender.

The imperial court is in need of personnel right now, and His Majesty wishes to use Su Heting and the Northern Xinjiang Army."

After a pause, she loosened Ji Yao's wrist and said, "The prince misunderstood me because of a small matter. You and I are both his majesty's people. I will try to get the prince to let you go."

Ji Yao snorted coldly, "Do you want me to help you complete the task?"

She asked why Qiao Xi was so nice today and came to please her. It turned out that Su Heting disliked her and wanted her help to maintain his favor.

Qiao Xi seemed to be unable to bear her words, and her face turned cold, "If you don't want to, just stay here.

It's not difficult for Your Majesty to send a few beauties here, and I don't need you, I just have to wait a few more days."

Ji Yao sneered, "You underestimate Su Heting. He is not an ordinary man who can be easily seduced by beauty."

Otherwise, why has there been no woman around him for so many years, and why has he even ignored her proactive advances?

Qiao Xi smiled proudly, "Really? But when he first saw me, he wanted to marry me as his concubine, and even after we got married, he kept clinging to me."

Ji Yao was furious. "What are you showing off for?"

Now you have to ask me for help.

Qiao Xi seemed to have thought of the current situation and suppressed her arrogance, "Su Heting is short of food, and your maternal grandparents happen to have food.

I will let him know that you have no intention of harming him, and then I will try to get you to him.

If you can help me subdue Su Heting and the Jiangbei Army, His Majesty will surely reward you handsomely, and I will be able to return to the capital sooner."

"You want to leave him?"

Qiao Xi looked at him like a fool and said, "What's so good about this barren northern Xinjiang? Besides, I'm the commander of His Majesty's secret factory, and my ambition is not to stay in the backyard of the Jiangbei Palace.

So, Ji Yao, I have never been your enemy."

"How do I know whether what you said is true or not?"

Ji Yao was actually a little moved.

If what Qiao Xi said was true, then Su Heting's imprisonment of her was a misunderstanding.

She had been in love with Su Heting for two years, but the resentment she felt for being imprisoned for two months was not enough to make her want to kill Su Heting.

However, she didn't want to save Qiao Xi's life.

Even though Qiao Xi didn't have Su Heting in her heart and wanted to return to the capital, Su Heting still had her in his heart. After all, Qiao Xi was the woman Su Heting insisted on marrying.

What Ji Yao wanted to be was Su Heting's legal wife, not some concubine who was below Qiao Xi.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you get out, right?"

Qiao Xi's voice brought her back to her thoughts, "Okay, I have to go back, think about it carefully."

As she stepped out of the door, she stopped again and said, "Oh, by the way, the prince neglected government affairs for a few days because of his indulgence in pleasure. I didn't want people to laugh at him for being obsessed with women, so I told others that I went to Liangzhou.

I didn't expect you to take this matter seriously. The prince has always been strict in his rule, and you actually let someone in his palace leak the master's whereabouts. He is very angry.

I have suppressed this matter for the time being. When you are with the prince in the future, please do not let it slip."

Ji Yao was shocked.

She did bribe the servants in the palace to help her find out about Su Heting and Qiao Xi.

The two old women hadn't appeared in recent days, and she was wondering if they had been discovered. But if they had been discovered, they would definitely have given her away, but no one had found her.

So it was Qiao Xi who pressed it?

If that's the case... then Qiao Xi is really helping her?

"Since you were able to convince Su Heting to let me go, it shows that your relationship is still good. Then why do you still need me to keep your favor?"

She still had doubts.

Qiao Xi sighed and supported her waist, "There's nothing to be ashamed of, it's just the things between husband and wife.

You are attracted to Su Heting, but you don't understand that some things can be poison to one person but honey to another."

Ji Yao blushed immediately.

At the same time, she also understood the meaning of this sentence. Qiao Xi was unwilling to have sex with Su Heting.

It is natural for a husband and wife to do things between husband and wife. The fact that Qiao Xi is unwilling to do so shows that her heart is not with Su Heting. No wonder she wants to leave.

"Do you have a sweetheart?"

This was the Jiangbei Palace, and Su Heting had spies everywhere. Qiao Xi didn't dare bring up the matter again, which would only cause trouble. She simply supported him, "The prince is very strong, very strong, very strong, terrifyingly strong."

Ji Yao's face flushed red.

Therefore, Qiao Xi wanted her to help share the favor.

The young girl was in love, and some beautiful scenes of her and Su Heting appeared in Ji Yao's mind at inappropriate times.

I had already agreed to cooperate with Qiao Xi in my heart.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi showed a cunning smile.

I heard that men like to be praised for their abilities, and Su Heting should be no exception, right?

Maybe after hearing this, he would treat her better.

An hour later, these words reached Su Heting's ears without missing a word, and Su Heting's face darkened...
