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

Xiaoman looked at Su Heting suspiciously as he strode away.

She was even more puzzled as to why he suddenly asked about the commander-in-chief, so after Changsheng came down with the empty bowl, she said to him, "Changsheng, please help look after the medicine. I have something to tell Sister Xi."

As soon as Su Heting came out of the kitchen, he was stopped by the guards.

After the guard reported the matter to him, he calmed down.

If Qiao Xi didn’t love Lin Yuanbo, or in other words, Qiao Xi didn’t have anyone she loved at all.

Then who is she taking revenge for?

Su Heting has never been a timid person.

But after he was reborn, he returned to the capital to find Qiao Xi. He saw with his own eyes that Qiao Xi scolded the servants and forbade them to mention the prince in front of her again.

He heard with his own ears Qiao Xi calling the prince a shameless villain.

And Qiao Xi became close to the emperor after his death. For five years, she always wore bright red and never visited his grave.

All this made Su Heting dare not even think about it. Qiao Xi did all this for him.

If he was the one in Qiao Xi's heart, why had she been so heartless for the past five years?

But he also realized that this matter was unusual, and finally decided to ask Qiao Xi.

But just as he approached Qiao Xi's room, he heard Qiao Xi's voice from inside, "You said the prince asked about Lin Yuanbo?"

In the room, Xiaoman nodded.

Qiao Xi fell into deep thought.

Few people in the court knew that Lin Yuanbo was the commander-in-chief of the secret factory. How could Su Heting, a king of the frontier, know about it?

Could it be that he knew Lin Yuanbo and knew that she was once Lin Yuanbo's subordinate, so he went to Xiaoman to find out Lin Yuanbo's attitude towards her?

She was not afraid of someone asking Lin Yuanbai, but she was afraid of someone exploring the real cause of Lin Yuanbai's death.

Qiao Xi thought for a moment and warned, "From now on, if anyone asks you about Lin Yuanbai, especially about the intersection between Lin Yuanbai and me, you must say you don't know, including the prince."

Lin Yuanbo died as a result of her plot, and this is a secret that cannot be known to outsiders.

Otherwise, the emperor would become suspicious of her, and the Lin family would regard her as an enemy. She couldn't make more enemies for herself.

Although the Lin family is not as powerful as before, it is still an old family in Dayou. In particular, Lin Yuanbo's father has always been suspicious of what happened to Lin Yuanbo.

Su Heting's sudden inquiry about Lin Yuanbo made her alert.

Su Heting, who was outside the door, listened to her instructions, turned around and left quietly.

Since Qiao Xi instructed Xiaoman like this, she would not tell him the truth, but would be on guard against him instead.

This time, Qiao Xi dressed as a man. To avoid arousing suspicion, she and Su Heting did not live together, but each booked a room.

Su Heting returned to his room and called out the secret guards. "Go to the capital in person and investigate what Qiao Xi has been up to these past few years."

After a moment's silence, he added, "And how did Lin Yuanbai die?"

If Lin Yuanbai was not Qiao Xi's lover, and Qiao Xi was so secretive about Lin Yuanbai's affairs, the reason was most likely that Qiao Xi killed Lin Yuanbai.

Why did Qiao Xi want to kill Lin Yuanbo?

Of course, a frivolous and despicable person like Lin Yuanbo deserved to be put to death. Was that the reason why Qiao Xi killed him?

"He's not my master... He's the one who harmed someone I cared about and even had his eye on me... I'm someone I wish I could dig up and whip his corpse."

The words that he had deliberately suppressed in his heart came out again.

Su Heting clenched his fists tightly, wondering if Qiao Xi's words were actually referring to Lin Yuanbo.

The witchcraft case was committed by Lin Yuanbai and the emperor together, and Lin Yuanbai was also the one who harmed him.

Qiao Xi is a beautiful woman. How could a lecher like Lin Yuanbai not fall in love with her if he had the chance?

He had evil thoughts about Qiao Xi, so Qiao Xi hated him, resented him, beat him, and even killed him.

The more Su Heting thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slowly rise.

"My Lord, is there something happy happening?"

Chen Shan's voice brought Su Heting back to his senses. He suppressed his smile and turned to leave. "It's okay. I'll go see how the princess is doing..."

Stay calm and don't fantasize too much.

There are still many things that don't make sense.

Qiao Xi had been with him for nine years and should have known best that he was a man of integrity and would never use witchcraft to murder his father.

She should be suspicious of the cause of his death. What the emperor did was not without flaws. If she had checked at that time, she would have found clues.

But she didn't.

Su Heting suppressed his expectations to avoid being disappointed with the result.

But his mind refused to obey him, so he warned himself, "Don't think about it."

"My Lord, what did you say?"

Chenshan felt that the prince was acting strangely today.

Su Heting had no expression on his face. "Nothing."

"Your Majesty!"

"Don't call me."

I want to be quiet.

"careful!"

"boom!"

Chen Shan's words and the sound of Su Heting hitting the door frame rang out together.

Su Heting had a big bump on his forehead.

Chen Shan said innocently, "Your Majesty, you didn't let me remind you."

Su Heting didn't go to see Qiao Xi after all. He asked Chen Shan to ask about Qiao Xi's condition. He learned that her stomach had felt much better and that they would continue their evening activities as usual.

At night, a group of people came out of the back window of the inn.

When they arrived at the dark street near Ji's house, Qiao Xi looked at Su Heting, whose entire head was wrapped up, leaving only a pair of eyes.

Finally I couldn't help but looked at it a few more times.

Su Heting glanced over coldly and said, "Just focus on leading the way."

There was no way he would let Qiao Xi know about such an embarrassing thing as banging on the door.

The last time Qiao Xi came, she had already figured out the Ji family's layout.

To be cautious, Su Heting came with Qiao Xi to confirm it again this time.

Tonight, Ji Chuan is not in the mansion and has taken away many guards. This is a good opportunity for them to take action.

The troops were divided into three groups. Qiao Xi, along with Changsheng Xiaoman and others, sneaked into the Ji family's warehouse where gold, silver and jewelry were stored.

Su Heting took people to Ji Chuan's study.

The other team stayed outside to provide support.

"Take the valuables that you can carry away, understand?"

Qiao Xi instructed Xiaoman and Changsheng.

They both nodded.

Sister A/Sister Xi said that whatever they can take away tonight is theirs.

Because tonight's move was just to alert the enemy and make Ji Chuan panic, and then transfer the real family wealth and even the food in the entire southern Xinjiang.

The real purpose of Qiao Xi and Su Heting was to rob those that Ji Chuan had transferred.

In the warehouse here, after the cloth bags brought by several people were filled to the brim, Qiao Xi signaled them to retreat first.

She went to the study.

Fourth brother's jade token is not in the warehouse, it must be in Ji Chuan's study. She wants to take this opportunity to get it back.

When Qiao Xi arrived, Su Heting was opening a box.

It was a secret box made by craftsmen in the palace, probably a reward from the emperor to Ji Chuan. Su Heting happened to know how to open this kind of lock.

But he didn't expect that the box contained a jade plaque with a pig engraved on it, which he had never seen before.

But he had seen similar ones engraved with a tiger, which was a jade pendant unique to the children of the Qiao family.

And he had heard Qiao Xi talk about the exchange of jade tokens with her fourth brother Qiao Chengwang countless times.

Why is Qiao Chengwang’s jade token with Ji Chuan?

Almost in an instant, Su Heting figured out the key.

Is Qiao Chengwang really not dead?

"Can you give it to me?"

Qiao Xi's voice rang out.

Su Heting looked at her deeply and handed the jade token to her.

Qiao Xi didn't seem surprised by the existence of this jade token.

Did she know this earlier?

But before he could think any further, the guards discovered them.

The two sides fought.

Suddenly, a burst of fire broke out. The candle flame was knocked over onto the curtain, and the entire curtain quickly caught fire.

The study was filled with books, and the fire spread quickly.

A huge fire started burning in front of him. Su Heting's brain buzzed and time became chaotic. He felt as if he was in the blaze five years ago. His whole body was in extreme pain, as if he was bound by an invisible net. He had difficulty breathing and could not move.

The guards of Ji Mansion noticed his abnormality and raised their swords to chop at him. Qiao Xi became alert and flew over to pull Su Heting.

A figure was faster than her, like a whirlwind, carrying Su Heting on his back and quickly disappearing in front of everyone...
