Qi Yi's reply letter arrived quickly via carrier pigeon.

The content of the reply letter is mainly to express gratitude.

But there was a crucial sentence left at the end, which made Xia Xizhi's eyes light up.

The general meaning is that he heard the recent rumors in the capital and was worried that someone was using them to shake the people's morale and attempt a rebellion.

There have been frequent invasions from the desert in his area recently, and the scouts who send letters on the road are occasionally intercepted by the enemy. He is afraid that he will not receive the news at the critical moment and delay his assistance to Beijing.

I hope General Huo will protect Shangjing City well.

On the surface, these words expressed concern for the safety of the capital, but in reality, they were telling her that if the emperor sent scouts to inform him to go back, he could pretend not to know.

Because, scouts are occasionally intercepted by the enemy...

Xia Xizhi couldn't help but curl his lips.

Just as she expected, Qi Yi had probably thought of rebelling a long time ago!

Now there is nothing to worry about...

"The time has come. Let's rebel on our wedding day in three days!" Xia Xizhi put down the letter.

Huo Jin immediately waved his hand, and after the black-clad secret guard landed, he gave a few instructions and the secret guard disappeared.

After finishing her explanation, she suddenly paused. When did he start to trust her so much and obey her every word...

Maybe it's because, although she looks petite, she can always resolve crises unexpectedly, making people inexplicably feel that it's right to listen to her.

"Rebellion on the wedding? Zhizhi, that's the most important day for both of us, can't we postpone it a few days..."

Huo Jin's face suddenly turned bad, and his tone became a little low.

Zhizhi doesn't care about this wedding, only he cares...

Huo Jin: "We can't delay. The Crown Prince is confined to his residence. This is the perfect time to rebel. Every day of delay brings a day of risk. On the day of your wedding, I have a good excuse not to attend the morning court. Then I can lead my men to surround the palace."

Huo Jin glanced at Huo Jin coldly.

Haha, it’s not you who is getting married.

In his eyes, marrying Zhizhi is a hundred times more important than rebelling!

Xia Xizhi saw that Huo Jin was unhappy and pinched his little finger.

"For my wedding, I want my real parents to watch us worship heaven and earth, not kneel before the couple from the Xia Mansion. After the rebellion, I will marry as a princess, and you as a prince. Wouldn't that be better?"

Huo Jin then remembered that Wang Yulan and Xia Chan had to attend the wedding. He had been so focused on getting married quickly that he had forgotten about it.

I suddenly felt guilty.

Hurry up and hug Xia Xizhi,

"I'm sorry, I actually forgot. It's my fault. Okay, let's do as Zhizhi said."

As he spoke, Huo Jin leaned over and was about to kiss Xia Xizhi on the lips.

These days he has been sticking with Xia Xizhi all the time, and he has gotten used to kissing and hugging her, and he always forgets that someone has to be careful and modest.

"Ahem, let's wait until we get back to the bedroom." Xia Xizhi coughed lightly, quickly covered his face with his hands, and glanced at Huo Jin.

"What are you going back to the room for? I'm just helping Zhizhi pinch the leaves on her head. Zhizhi, what are you thinking about...", Huo Jin said mischievously.

Xia Xizhi's face suddenly turned red. Was she overthinking it?

"Who are you thinking about? I said I should go back to my bedroom and sleep! Oh, I'm sleepy..." Xia Xizhi yawned and pretended to be very sleepy.

"Then I'll sleep with Zhizhi." Huo Jin said with a smile on his face, hugging Xia Xizhi tighter.

Xia Xizhi struggled slightly, raised his head and his eyes fell on Huo Jin's rolling Adam's apple. He paused, his head dizzy for a moment.

He coughed lightly and said casually,

"Why are you sleeping with me?"

"What are you saying, Zhizhi...Fuck, you..." Huo Jin lowered his voice in her ear, then curled his lips and picked her up sideways, turned around and walked out of the study.

Xia Xizhi paused, his face suddenly flushed red.

"you!"

Huo Jin looked at the backs of the two people, pursed his lips, his eyes dimmed, and a trace of loss flashed across his eyes.

Jhin was luckier than him.

.....

With Xia Xizhi's treatment and prevention prescriptions, the plague was brought under control in just a few days.

But the rumors not only did not stop as the emperor had hoped, but became more and more intense.

Because someone has dug up the things that the emperor did to get to the top.

It is said that the confiscation of property and extermination of clans of the former Vice Minister of Revenue and Minister of Justice were deliberately framed at the behest of the emperor.

There are also rumors about General Huo, saying that he was forced to death by the emperor, just like the way the emperor is controlling General Qi Yi now.

These people all supported the former crown prince, so the emperor wiped them out after he came to power.

The main reason these rumors directly aroused public outrage was that General Huo had spent his entire life guarding the frontier, yet ended up with his body mutilated...

At this time, a piece of news came out that the two orphans of the former prince were not dead and were still alive...

......

Three days later.

It was still dark when Xia Xizhi was called by Zhenzhu to get dressed.

She wore a bright red wedding gown with a gold thread pattern and a long train. The wide sleeves were embroidered with two floating peonies that spread out from the cuffs.

Her long, dark hair was piled atop her head, flanked by long, six-beaded phoenix hairpins. Her lips were crimson, her eyelids were lifted, and her slightly upturned phoenix eyes, tinged with a faint red at the corners, were so beautiful that everyone around her took their breath away.

"Miss, you are so beautiful." Pearl was stunned.

Xia Xizhi chuckled and pinched the chubby cheeks of Pearl.

"Look at your face, am I really that beautiful?"

"Beautiful, so beautiful! Prettier than a fairy! Master will definitely be stunned when he sees her!" Pearl's eyes lit up.

Xia Xizhi smiled, stood up and stretched, his eyes suddenly changed.

A tough battle is about to begin...

The reason she wore a wedding gown was to avoid alerting the enemy, so that Huo Jin's siege of the palace would be smoother...

......

It was still dark at the hour of Mao.

As the gate opened, the ministers at the palace gate walked into the Golden Palace a little sleepily, and the emperor quickly came in and sat on the dragon throne.

"Long live the emperor~"

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of dense footsteps, and the hall was surrounded by soldiers in uniform, all holding arrows in their hands ready to shoot.

The ministers were completely in disbelief, some rubbed their eyes and muttered,

"I haven't woken up yet?"

Someone exclaimed,

"Isn't that General Huo? What is he going to do..."

What to do? Rebellion, haha. Qi Rongzheng thought to himself.

Glancing at Huo Jin, Qi Rong was quietly moving to the side in small steps to avoid being hurt by the arrows.

He had guessed this scene a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon...

The people of the Huo family are not simple people...

The emperor couldn't believe it, slammed his palm on the table, his face full of anger.

"Huo Jin?! You! Are you planning a rebellion?!"

"Imperial Guards! Come and protect the emperor!"

Huo Jin, dressed in black armor, walked in step by step, sneered, and said quietly,

"The Imperial Guards can't come, Uncle."

The emperor's pupils suddenly shrank, "What did you call me..."

On the other side, Xia Xizhi, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, and Huo Jin, also in a wedding gown, stood side by side in the Prince's Mansion.

The gold thread pattern on Xia Xizhi's tail is the same as the pattern on Huo Jin's chest.

The two of them stood there, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

Qin Yi looked at the two people in front of him, a trace of jealousy flashed across his eyes. He sneered,

"You ridiculous dandy! You think that just because we've surrounded the Crown Prince's Mansion, I can do whatever you want? Ha! You probably don't know that I have a thousand black-clad guards secretly protecting me."

"Come here! Take this dandy from the Huo family to jail! The rest of you, follow me to the Huo Mansion. The Huo family is plotting rebellion, their property must be confiscated immediately!"

After saying that, Qin Yi's eyes fell on Xia Xizhi and he frowned.

"Xizhi, come here, I won't pursue you."

Huo Jin sneered,

"Black Guards? You mean those useless people wearing black and hiding in the dark?"

"Your Highness, it's bad! All the black-clad guards were poisoned to death, and, and..." A secret guard covered in wounds fell tremblingly at Qin Yi's feet.

"What else?!" Qin Yi's face changed.

"The palace is surrounded!"

......

Outside Shangjing City.

Xuanyuan Yan, riding on his horse, listened to the report from the person who came.

"Are you saying that there's a rebellion going on in the Central Plains Imperial City, and Prince Qing is leading a large army to the Imperial City to suppress the rebels?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, but the Imperial City is impenetrable right now, and our people can't get in. We only know that there's been a rebellion. That Prince Qing of the Central Plains probably has ulterior motives as well. He must be trying to use this opportunity to take the throne himself."
