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

The leader of the imperial guards and Eunuch Wu had been through thick and thin together, becoming close friends. He nodded in agreement, "Yes, they also said that a fire is the best way to conceal the truth. If it burns everything clean, it will be difficult to investigate."

By insisting that Ji Chuan was colluding with the barbarians, they could also absolve themselves of the blame for their failure to convey the imperial edict.

The emperor frowned deeply when he heard this. "Did they really say that?"

His suspicion of Ji Chuan deepened because he had covered up everything with a fire regarding the deaths of the Qiao family and the prince.

He had said that to Ji Chuan. Was Ji Chuan putting his knowledge into practice?

The emperor's face was gloomy.

Cao Ying and Eunuch Wu were not on good terms, and he did not want to be accused by him. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I just don't want Your Majesty to fall into the thief's evil scheme."

"You mean His Majesty is not as smart as you?"

Eunuch Wu immediately retorted.

The leader of the imperial guards added, "I guess Ji Chuan has benefited a lot from it. Maybe someone leaked our secret imperial decree to Ji Chuan.

Otherwise, even the King of Zhuangbei doesn't know, how could Ji Chuan know?"

Eunuch Wu's eyes lit up, "Yes, Princess Chaoyang and Your Majesty have a relationship like father and daughter. Your Majesty has arranged a marriage between Princess Chaoyang and King of Jiangbei. King of Jiangbei is like Your Majesty's son-in-law.

Ji Chuan had rebellious intentions and naturally didn't want the King of Jiangbei to help Your Majesty, so he colluded with the barbarians to destroy the imperial edict."

The imperial guard looked at Eunuch Wu with admiration. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have wanted to high-five Eunuch Wu.

As expected, they have been through hardships together. Their tacit understanding is unparalleled.

Cao Ying was furious, "Stop messing around..."

Just as the three were arguing, Qiao Xi's letter arrived.

After the emperor finished reading, he signaled Eunuch Wu and the other man to leave first. He then angrily thrust a jade cicada in front of Cao Ying and asked, "Have you ever seen this?"

Cao Ying's pupils shrank slightly.

Of course she knew him.

She got this jade cicada from Xu Ling'er and later hung it around Bixiang's neck. She wanted to go to the border in person, not only to investigate the cause of Bixiang's death and avenge her, but also to find this jade cicada.

Now this jade cicada appeared in the emperor's hands. It was sent by Qiao Xi. Cao Ying did not dare to deny it. "I know it. It belongs to Xu Ling'er. Bixiang likes it and wants it."

"You don't know what this is?" the emperor asked suspiciously.

Cao Ying pretended to be confused, "Isn't this a jade cicada?"

The emperor looked at her intently with inquiring eyes.

This is the jade cicada, which is also part of the secret order. He has been looking for this thing, but he didn't expect that Cao Ying took it and hung it on Bixiang.

He never expected that such an important thing would be given to his future daughter-in-law by Qiao Zhenbei. No wonder he couldn't find it after searching the entire Qiao family.

Cao Ying has followed him for many years, does he really not know the function of the jade cicada?

The emperor became suspicious.

He continued, "Qiao Xi discovered that the reason Su Heting was able to successfully rob the grain was because he had obtained the grain transportation route.

The route was planned by Qiao Xi. When she reported it to me, you were also there..."

"Your Majesty, I am wronged."

Cao Ying was shocked and hurriedly explained, "I have only followed Your Majesty my whole life. How could I have leaked the grain transportation route? I beg Your Majesty to investigate."

The emperor looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled. "Interesting. You suspect Qiao Xi, but Qiao Xi's evidence points to you. Who do you think I should believe?"

"I am wronged."

The emperor stroked the jade cicada, "This is an heirloom of the Qiao family. The previous emperor used it as part of a secret order, and later the Qiao family gave it to Xu Ling'er as a token of engagement.

Qiao Xi said that after Bixiang died, Su Heting took back Yuchan along with Bixiang's body and returned them to Qiao Xi.

However, someone tried to steal the jade cicada several times, and Qiao Xi realized that there might be something fishy about the jade cicada.

Su Heting married her because of her identity as a daughter of the Qiao family. Qiao Xi speculated that perhaps there was something in the Qiao family that Su Heting wanted.

Cao Ying, you always suspected Qiao Xi, but it was you who tampered with Qiao Xi's memory. She also recognized that this jade cicada was something from her Qiao family, and even guessed that the jade cicada had a secret, but she still handed it to me.

Instead, you concealed Yuchan's whereabouts and spoke for Ji Chuan. Could it be that you wanted to help Ji Chuan succeed?"

Cao Ying was really panicked this time.

"Your Majesty, in my heart, Your Majesty is my man and my heaven.

For Your Majesty, I betrayed my master and brought my child to the palace, disguised as a eunuch, just to be loyal to Your Majesty. How could I do anything that would harm Your Majesty? Please trust me, Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed, "You made No. 75 fake his death for me? Was the person who stole the jade cicada yours?"

Cao Ying broke out in a cold sweat.

Number 75 was discovered by Qiao Xi?

She was careless. Qiao Xi was the top killer in the Dark Factory, and No. 75 was no match for her.

Were Qingjiang and Wutong, who were ordered to find Yuchan, discovered by Qiao Xi?

Cao Ying's eyes moved quickly. Since the emperor asked this, it must mean that he was not caught.

fortunately!

Biting her lip, Cao Ying cried, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to hide this from you. I really hated Qiao Xi because of Bixiang's death.

Bixiang is my only child. As her mother, I feel guilty towards her. This jade cicada was Bixiang's favorite thing in her life. I just wanted to get it back for her and teach Qiao Xi a lesson. I had no idea that it was part of the secret order.

Your Majesty, I have no intention of betraying you, otherwise I would not have devoted myself to developing medicine for you all these years."

To the emperor, these words were a threat.

But he did need Cao Ying, "Number 75 has been executed by Qiao Xi. From now on, you must not interfere in the affairs of the secret factory, and don't mess with Qiao Xi.

Let Eunuch Wu take care of my affairs, and you can focus on developing the medicine."

Perhaps it would be more useful to let Qiao Xi subdue Su Heting than to kill him.

The emperor walked up to Cao Ying and said, "Ying Baiyun, you volunteered for what happened back then, and it was you who asked to stay by my side as a eunuch.

I've said this before: I won't give you the status you want. Naturally, I can't give it to you, and Ji Chuan can't give it to you either. You'd better be content."

The emperor left angrily.

He had already begun to believe to some extent what Eunuch Wu and the leader of the imperial guards said.

Compared to Cao Ying, Qiao Xi, whose memory was changed, is more loyal to him, but the resurrection of Qiao Xi's memory is always a disaster, and he cannot help but be on guard.

"Qiao Xi, you are the one behind all this, right?"

Cao Ying pounded his fist on the ground, gritting his teeth. "I'll let you be proud for a few days, but soon, I'll find out what's wrong with you and make you die at the hands of your loved ones."

Her eyes were filled with venom, and she spoke word by word, "Qiao Xi, just wait."

In Yincheng Inn.

Qiao Xi sneezed several times.

Changsheng hurriedly took the cloak and put it on Qiao Xi.

Su Heting glanced at her coldly, "Men and women should not touch each other. She is my wife."

I don’t know where Qiao Xi picked up this little kid from, but he’s like a sticky candy, sticking to Qiao Xi every day.

Changsheng drew his heavy sword without saying a word and looked back at Su Heting, "It's Sister."

He looks like he's going to fight you if you don't agree, and I'm going to kill you, believe it or not.

Su Heting's eyes darkened, and he threw the teacup in his hand towards Changsheng. Qiao Xi quickly caught it and acted as a peacemaker, "Changsheng, you must not be rude to the prince."

Then he said to Su Heting, "Your Majesty, calm down and don't bother with the child."

Ever since Changsheng followed her to live in the King's Mansion of Jiangbei, Changsheng had no idea how many battles he had fought with Su Heting.

Two rooms in the palace were demolished, and she felt guilty in front of Su Heting because of this.

Although Changsheng was defeated by Su Heting every time, he did not restrain himself, but became more and more courageous.

In order to put on a show for the emperor, Su Heting was pestered by Ji Yao for several days. He was so disgusted that he went to settle accounts with her at night.

Changsheng saw the red mark on her neck and concluded that Su Heting had bullied her. Since then, the two have never met peacefully.

Qiao Xi felt very tired being caught between the two of them.

The two men, big and small, snorted at the same time. Qiao Xi was helpless, "We are here to rob the Ji family, we must unite!"

Su Heting glanced at her and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were just here for fun."

Bring your family with you.

Changsheng didn't understand, but it didn't stop him from drawing his sword.

But he quickly retracted his sword because Qiao Xi suddenly covered her mouth and retched, which frightened him...
