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

Chapter 8 Seize the initiative and win the emperor's support

In his previous life, Xu An became a powerful general in the emperor's hands.

Qiao Xi had worked with him many times and knew that he was a man who valued friendship the most.

Thinking that Cao Ying had disguised herself as a eunuch and stayed in the palace by mistake, and worried that her identity would be exposed and punished by the emperor, Xu An swore allegiance to the emperor until death.

This was so that on the day the incident happened, he could use his military merits to exchange for the lives of Cao Ying and his mother with the emperor.

Qiao Xi learned that Xu An had been deceived and exploited by Cao Ying and her daughter the night before the celebration banquet. She wanted to find an opportunity to tell Xu An the truth.

He died first.

Qiao Xi laughed at herself and jumped out of the window first.

She was certain that Xu An would follow her. He cared about his stepmother and stepsister, and he cared even more about the whereabouts of his biological sister.

Seeing that Qiao Xi's skills were far superior to his, Xu An gave up the idea of ​​calling for help. After hesitating for a moment, he followed.

He knew his own limitations and knew that even if he called for help, he wouldn't be able to catch the person and might even miss any news about his sister.

Qiao Xi stopped at a dilapidated temple outside the city.

After her rebirth, when she was planning revenge, she thought of Xu An.

In this life, Xu An must not be allowed to become the emperor's helper.

"How did she die?"

Xu An recognized that the body was indeed his stepsister who had disappeared many years ago.

When his stepmother was in the Xu family, she treated him and his sister very well, so he treated them as family members.

In addition, his father was looking for his stepmother and others before he died. While searching for his sister over the years, he never gave up looking for his stepmother and stepsister. The person he had been searching for for many years turned out to be a corpse. He angrily asked, "Did you kill her?"

"Yes, I killed him."

Qiao Xi turned around and said, "If you knew what they and their daughter had done to your sister, you would kill her too."

She took out another portrait from her bosom and handed it to Xu An, "This is the portrait of the queen."

The portrait was surprisingly similar to Xu Linger's portrait.

Xu An was shocked, "What on earth is going on?"

"After the Queen passed away, there were more women in the palace who looked like the Queen. These women were not selected to enter the palace through normal selection, but were secretly abducted into the palace.

They will not be canonized, nor will they appear in public. Your sister was captured by Cao Ying to curry favor with the emperor."

Qiao Xi lowered her voice, "Although Xu Ling'er and the Queen look somewhat similar, their voices are worlds apart. Her screams when she was forced angered the Emperor, and Cao Ying poisoned her and made her mute.

Although these women were substitutes for the queen, they were not favored by the emperor. They were abused at will and were not allowed to give birth to children.

When your sister got pregnant, Bixiang beat the baby out of her womb with a stick because she resented your sister for preventing her and her from marrying into the Xu family.

In her previous life, she only knew that Cao Ying and her daughter had killed Xu An's sister. She only found out about the queen's substitute after she was reborn and secretly investigated.

"She's dead now, you can say whatever you want."

Xu An trembled.

In fact, I had already half believed it in my heart. When my father wanted to marry my stepmother, my sister did try to stop him because she felt that my stepmother was of unknown origin.

My sister's voice is also a bit hoarse, which is a sequelae of catching a cold.

Qiao Xi squatted down and pulled out a jade cicada from Bixiang's neck. "Do you recognize this?"

Xu An's face turned pale. "Why is my sister's jade cicada here with Bixiang?"

When Bixiang left with her stepmother, Yuchan was still on her sister. Now that Yuchan appeared in Bixiang's place, Xu An believed 70% of what Qiao Xi said.

But he still asked, "Besides this, do you have any other evidence?"

"Yes, the Governor of Liangzhou and the Jiedushi of Southern Xinjiang, Ji Chuan, your two superiors, are both insiders.

Otherwise, how do you think Cao Ying and her daughter got to the palace? Why did your father, the governor of Liang Province, not find his wife in his own territory and even fall off his horse and die while searching for her?

Qiao Xi sat down in front of the Buddha in the dilapidated temple and looked at Xu An, "You can go to the governor now to verify whether what I said is true.

Xu An, if you still want to rescue your sister after verifying it, then come find me here. I will only wait for you for one hour."

Xu An's heart exploded like thunder, but he didn't move. "What do you want to cooperate with me?"

Qiao Xi didn't reply. She just took out an incense stick and lit it. "This will burn for exactly one hour."

Xu An stomped his feet, used his lightness skills and ran away.

The governor's mansion is in the city center. It takes half an hour to go back and forth using light skills, and you also have to sneak into the mansion to verify it, so there is no extra time to waste.

Qiao Xi's eyes were deep.

Worry leads to confusion. If Xu An could remain calm, he would understand from the moment he went to the governor to verify.

There was no turning back for him.

"princess?"

Lou Xin's voice rang out from outside the door, "Brothers have already divided into groups and lurked at the east and west gates of Liangzhou. What should we do next?"

Qiao Xi glanced at the incense seal on the ground and pulled off her face scarf, "Wait."

"Can we really capture Liangzhou tonight?"

Lou Xin had fought many battles, big and small, with Su Heting, but he felt it was absurd that they wanted to capture a city guarded by 50,000 troops with only 5,000 people.

It's a bit of a joke.

Especially since it was already the second half of the night, it would soon be daybreak. Once daybreak came, the Liangzhou soldiers on the city wall would discover their lurking brothers.

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but saw Qiao Xi lowering her eyes.

His expression was somewhat similar to that of the clay statue behind her, except that the Bodhisattva lowered his brows to show compassion, while he felt a murderous aura from Qiao Xi.

Lou Xin quietly retreated to the door.

When the incense stick burned out, Qiao Xi put on her face veil again, and Xu An rushed in with a smell of blood.

"Can you really help me rescue my sister?"

Qiao Xi stood up and said, "Yes."

"what do I need to do?"

Xu An's eyes were red.

He asked for confirmation.

Everything was just as Qiao Xi said.

The stepmother did not disappear that year. She left on her own initiative and did not want to be found by my father, so she killed my father.

The two superiors he respected and trusted were both accomplices.

Qiao Xi glanced at the blood on his body and said, "You have already done it, but you still need to help me..."

After hearing what Qiao Xi said, Xu An was horrified. "You want to occupy Liangzhou? Do you know that this is tantamount to treason and your entire family will be executed?"

She is the only one left in the Qiao family, so what is there to be afraid of?

Qiao Xi said nothing and looked at Xu An quietly.

Xu An saw the stubbornness in her eyes, but, "If I join you in the rebellion, wouldn't it make my sister's situation even more difficult?"

"In fact, my people have rescued your sister from the palace, but her condition is not good, and it is not easy to take her out of the capital. We can only temporarily place her in a secret place in the capital. After the storm has died down, we will find a way to bring her to Liangzhou."

After Xu Ling'er's miscarriage, she did not receive any care and suffered from gynecological diseases. She was not in good health, and because of her strong temper, she was soon disliked by the emperor.

Cao Ying wouldn't care about a useless chess piece. Only Bixiang would have nothing better to do than to cause trouble for Xu Linger.

After Bixiang followed her out of the palace, it wasn't that difficult for her people to rescue the neglected Xu Ling'er.

Qiao Xi's words shocked and happy Xu An, but he was still hesitant.

Qiao Xi said, "You have already killed the Governor of Liang Province. You have no choice."

Xu An's body trembled, and he finally reacted, "You plotted against me."

The news brought by Qiao Xi was so shocking that it impacted his brain. He did not have time to think about it. He covered his face and tied up the governor for interrogation.

When he learned the truth, he was filled with anger, and as he was recognized by the governor, he had no choice but to take the initiative and kill the man.

Now it seems that all this was within the woman's expectations.

Qiao Xi did not deny it, but she would not take on things that were not her responsibility and thus be hated by Xu An.

"If I hadn't appeared today and learned that your father and sister were murdered, would you have sought revenge?"

Xu An knew in his heart that it would!

"Knowing that your sister is suffering in the palace, will you save her?"

meeting!

"If I hadn't told you the truth today, if Cao Ying and her daughter killed your sister one day and then appeared before you again, deceiving you with their past affection and asking you to help them, would you have been willing to do so?"

Yes! Yes! Yes!

By then, he would be a fool deceived by his enemies, and most importantly, he would not be able to rescue his sister in time.

"So, Xu An, what are you waiting for?"
