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

Su Heting could not tell Qiao Xi that he was the prince's reincarnation, so naturally he could not say that he had captured the barbarian spy and learned all this from the barbarian spy.

That's why he became suspicious about the death of the Qiao family and secretly investigated, but was discovered by the emperor.

He originally planned to inform Qiao Xi after finding evidence, but he died due to the emperor's conspiracy.

He said vaguely, "The king captured some barbarian spies and learned about this matter."

Qiao Xi assumed he was a captive captured during the fight against the barbarians and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me this."

Although she had guessed that her fourth brother was still alive, Su Heting's news made her feel more certain.

Su Heting said, "Since the jade token was found by Madam Liu in the palace, it means that your fourth brother was most likely brought into the palace, or is in the palace now.

Ji Chuan also recognized the jade token, which means that your fourth brother had fallen into his hands. Perhaps it was he who took your fourth brother away from the battlefield and created the illusion that your fourth brother had died in battle.

But in that battle, Ji Chuan did not participate openly. He went to the northern Xinjiang battlefield privately, which is problematic.

He is the emperor's man, and your fourth brother may have entered the palace, so he is most likely acting on the emperor's orders.

So, Qiao Xi, do you know why the emperor did this?

Also, the Qiao family has guarded against the barbarians for many years and never let them enter northern Xinjiang, yet in that battle, the barbarians were brought to their doorstep. Is there something fishy going on here?"

After he was reborn, he continued to investigate the Qiao family affairs, but whether it was Dayou or the barbarians, all those who were involved in the matter were dead, and there were very few clues.

But when the emperor wanted to kill him, he was certain that the Qiao family was harmed by the emperor.

However, he didn't know how much Qiao Xi knew, and had no actual evidence pointing to the emperor, so he could only use this opportunity to give Qiao Xi a reminder.

It is no coincidence.

Qiao Xi also knew that the Qiao family was harmed by the emperor, but she also had no evidence.

She couldn't tell Su Heting that she was a reincarnated person, and that it was the emperor of the previous life who personally acknowledged her. She could only shake her head and said, "No matter what the cost, I will find my fourth brother."

Perhaps if we find the fourth brother, we will have evidence that the emperor murdered the Qiao family.

Suddenly she raised her eyes and looked at Su Heting, "You just asked me why the emperor did this. Do you know something?"

Su Heting had intended to give a hint, so he didn't hide it. "Did you know that the late emperor and the Qiao family jointly formed a ghost army?"

Qiao Xi was once the apple of her parents' eyes. When the Qiao family encountered trouble, she was only six years old. Her parents would never talk to her about family and national affairs.

"Please tell me in detail, Your Majesty."

“It is said that the Ghost Army was a group of 10,000 elite soldiers selected from the Dark Factory and the Qiao Family Army, and trained by your grandfather himself. They could defeat a hundred enemies with one, and they helped the late emperor conquer the world.

The late emperor allowed them to retire in recognition of their contributions to the country, but agreed that the ghost army must return when summoned by secret order!

The Ghost Army was jointly formed by the Royal Family and the Qiao Family, and the secret order that summoned the Ghost Army was also composed of items from both families, supplemented by the blood of male heirs from both families.

"Your Highness means that the Emperor kept my fourth brother alive in order to use his blood to summon the ghost army."

Qiao Xi was puzzled. "But when the Qiao family was in trouble, Dayou was peaceful. The barbarians were guarded by the Qiao family and behaved well. Why did the emperor summon the ghost army?"

Su Heting shook his head.

The late emperor told him about the ghost army when he was lying on his deathbed. However, he was still young at that time, and perhaps because he was worried that he could not keep the secret, the late emperor did not reveal much.

Therefore, he did not know what the emperor's purpose was in wanting the ghost army, nor did he know what the secret order was.

Qiao Xi squeezed the pouch at her waist.

The purse contains the Qiao family's ancestral jade Chan. Could this be the Qiao family's secret order?

Cao Ying cared so much about Yuchan, but he didn't keep her for himself, but gave her to Bixiang.

Bixiang never dared to show Yuchan in front of others. If she had not accidentally overheard the conversation between mother and daughter in her previous life, she would have had no idea that Bixiang had this.

She guessed that Cao Ying was preventing Yuchan from being discovered by others and also from the emperor.

Because she served the emperor all day long, it was very likely that the emperor would find out if she kept it herself.

Therefore, Qiao Xi had a fake jade cicada made and sent it to the palace along with the letter, hoping to alienate the relationship between the emperor and Cao Ying.

If this Yuchan is the Qiao family's secret messenger, then her plan to sow discord was a lucky coincidence.

The emperor was willing to sacrifice the entire Qiao family for the sake of the ghost army, so how could he tolerate Cao Ying secretly hiding Yuchan from him?

Su Heting saw that Qiao Xi was hiding something and took the initiative to end the conversation. "I allow you to go back with me, but you must listen to me on the way."

Back to the beginning, Qiao Xi nodded, "Okay."

"You go to bed early."

Su Heting stood up and said, "I will be on patrol in the first half of the night."

Qiao Xi continued, "Then I'll come in the second half of the night."

Su Heting did not comment and walked out of the Taoist temple.

After a while, a black-clad secret guard appeared and Su Heting whispered, "Tell Su Que to hurry up and get the medicine that I asked her to make last time."

The secret guard received the order.

Su Heting turned around and stared in the direction of Qiao Xi in the Taoist temple, without saying a word for a long time.

The next day, Qiao Xi finally understood what Su Heting meant when he said he would listen to him.

He wanted Qiao Xi to ride with him and sit behind him.

Qiao Xi was not used to it.

But Su Heting had his reasons, "Sit in the back and I can shield you from the wind. I'm poor, and if you have another stomachache, I can't afford a doctor."

His reason was just as unconvincing as Qiao Xi's reason yesterday when she said she was worried about him going back alone.

"I have my own money."

Qiao Xi muttered, "Even if two of them ride together, they're still very slow."

Su Heting lost his patience and said, "Either sit in the front, sit in the back, or stay. Choose one."

The old man suddenly appeared and said, "Of course it's in front. You can lean against it and sleep if you get tired on the way."

Qiao Xi couldn't imagine the scene of herself sleeping in Su Heting's arms, so she obediently crawled behind Su Heting.

Su Heting galloped all the way, and Qiao Xi was worried that she would fall off the horse, so she had to hold his waist tightly all the way.

When resting outdoors at night, Su Heting complained that Qiao Xi was squeezing him and hurt him, and insisted that Qiao Xi massage him.

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes silently, rubbed her lips a few times, pretended to be sleepy, and fell asleep with her head resting on his back.

After pretending to sleep and being lazy so many times, Qiao Xi was somewhat accustomed to it. So when Su Heting turned around and put her head on his lap, Qiao Xi could naturally fall asleep with her head on him.

On the next morning, Su Heting would inevitably scold her, saying that she was an unqualified wife and did not know how to be considerate of her husband.

Qiao Xi knew that he was a coward, so she smiled kindly. No matter what he said, she just said, "Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is right..."

Su Heting's unfinished words were completely blocked.

He had no choice but to make trouble on the way, sometimes saying that Qiao Xi hugged him too tightly, and sometimes complaining that Qiao Xi was too loose, and he was not responsible for falling off the horse.

After loosening and tightening the reins countless times, Qiao Xi took a deep breath, finally raised her hand to knock Su Heting unconscious, and took over the reins.

After Su Heting woke up, Qiao Xi was the first to admit her mistake, "I can't bear to see Your Majesty suffer so much, I was wrong..."

The anger burst out and split the fork.

In the end, Su Heting just viciously pulled the person behind him to the front and pressed him into his arms.

Chen Shan and his companions looked all the way and inexplicably felt full in their stomachs.

Only Changsheng silently counted the days until Yongshou arrived in Jiangbei. The King of Jiangbei bullied his elder sister. He could not defeat him alone, but with his younger brother, he might not be able to defeat him.

They wanted to support my sister! The King of Xinjiang North was beaten so hard that he dared not embarrass my sister anymore.
