The host ruthlessly crushes scum in the small world

"lady"

Jiang Yuepan looked at Shi Yixi, who was walking forward with a smile, and her face darkened. Shi Yixi noticed this too, and this time he stopped supporting Ming Xiaxia.

The two, who had just been deeply affectionate outside, now seemed a little distant. Ming Xiaxia looked at Shi Yixi pitifully, and Shi Yixi finally couldn't bear it and took the initiative to speak.

"How long will Xiaxia last..."

"What? You still want to marry her with a grand procession? What about Yuepan? You've only been married for less than a year and you've already taken a concubine. What will others think of her!"

Lin Chuyun interrupted Shi Yixi directly. Shi Yixi was really pushing his luck. Jiang Yuepan had already been very generous in agreeing to let Ming Xiaxia enter the manor.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yixi also thought of it and felt sorry for Jiang Yuepan, who sat above looking unwell. He finally decided to choose a day for Ming Xiaxia to enter the mansion through the side gate.

Even if Ming Xiaxia is unwilling, there is nothing she can do. After all, if she doesn't agree, Shi Yixi will probably be angry with her!

"Yuepan, why do you want her to come into the manor? If you don't agree, she'll be drowned in scorn outside."

Lin Chuyun couldn't understand what Jiang Yuepan was thinking. After all, based on the previous situation, everyone could see what kind of person Ming Xiaxia really was!

Jiang Yuepan ate the fruit and smiled slowly.

"Since she's willing to come, why shouldn't I grant her wish? This way, I can also gain a good reputation! Besides, this was most likely Shi Yixi's idea, designed to drive me crazy, but if I handle it this way, he can't say anything."

Lin Chuyun nodded in agreement; Jiang Yuepan had indeed thought things through very thoroughly. Then Jiang Yuepan continued...

"And why choose this time? What exactly is Shi Yixi planning? It would be more appropriate to put it in the open!"

Lin Chuyun had also thought of this problem. After all, in the original owner's life, Shi Yixi had endured it until the original owner found out about Ming Xiaxia, unlike now.

Moreover, Ming Xiaxia didn't seem to want to be a concubine before; on the contrary, she seemed very ambitious. So why did Ming Xiaxia agree to it now?

"That's really unfair to you."

"So what? I don't like him, and it's still the same now!"

After Lin Chuyun returned to the palace, she summoned Ji Yisi, because Ji Yisi's body had died too early in the original owner's life, and he was unaware of many plot details.

Just now, Lin Chuyun thought of something that was going to happen next: the various small countries on the border would unite to attack Linxia. What was Shi Yixi trying to do by suddenly bringing Ming Xiaxia into the mansion?

Could it be related to what's going to happen later? So Lin Chuyun and Ji Yisi decided to discuss it.

Two months later, just as the original owner of this body had written in her previous life, war broke out on the border of Linxia Kingdom, initiated by the small border states.

But this time, Shi Yixi actually volunteered to lead the expedition as the Grand General. In court, Shi Yixi repented, saying he had been too cowardly before and hoped to atone for his mistakes with merit.

The court officials also felt that these were just some small border countries, and there was no need for generals to go; simply sending someone to intimidate them would suffice.

Shi Yixi himself was willing to go. As a top scholar, he wasn't someone who knew nothing. Perhaps he could persuade those barbarians.

In the end, Shi Yixi still led the army to the front lines. When Lin Chuyun learned of this, she felt something was amiss, so she shared her concerns with the emperor.

The emperor eventually arranged for several experienced generals to go with him, while Shi Yixi served as a strategist in the army. Upon hearing this, Lin Chuyun finally felt a little relieved.

But unexpectedly, war broke out not long after Shi Yixi arrived, and this time Linxia Kingdom was defeated! Many people were even injured!

The emperor flew into a rage during court and ultimately dispatched the son of the Marquis of Anqing, who was also Jiang Yuepan's father. (Forgot to mention, Jiang Yuepan's father was a famously ruthless general.)

However, Marquis Anqing had always hoped that his son would inherit the marquisate rather than engage in constant fighting and killing. Now, Marquis Anqing also supports his son.

"Yuepan, have you discovered something?"

Lin Chuyun received a letter secretly sent by Jiang Yuepan, so she disguised herself and went to the Shi residence.

The Shi family has been relatively peaceful these past few days. Ming Xiaxia is pregnant and doesn't want to be too conspicuous, so Jiang Yuepan hasn't bothered to argue with her.

Recently, Shi Yixi has been spending a lot of time in the study. Jiang Yuepan has sent her maids there several times, but they have all been turned away, with the maids saying that Concubine Ming and the master are in there together.

But those times all happened during the day. Jiang Yuepan was even complaining at the time, "Can't you even hold back during the day?" And Ming Xiaxia was even pregnant!

It wasn't until Shi Yixi went on his mission, and Ming Xiaxia was in her late pregnancy and had difficulty moving around, that Jiang Yuepan entered the study.

Even when she tried to enter the study, someone tried to stop her, but Jiang Yuepan had someone hold her down and forced her way in.

Unexpectedly, they found correspondence between Shi Yixi and the largest small country on the border in the study.

"What? Has Shi Yixi gone mad?! What benefit could he possibly gain?!"

"Once this is accomplished, the Kingdom of Linxia will cease to exist, and he will become the prime minister of the new dynasty!"

Lin Chuyun decisively ordered Jiang Yuepan to control Ming Xiaxia. After all, Ming Xiaxia was always present whenever Jiang Yuepan went to the study, indicating that Ming Xiaxia knew about the matter and might even have been involved.

Even what Ming Xiaxia said on the street before might have been prepared by Shi Yixi.

Just as Lin Chuyun was about to tell the emperor about this, Shi Yixi returned. He knew the emperor had already sent a general, but so what? He had already laid a trap there.

Even if that general goes there, all the plans will be known to the enemy!

"It is because I am incompetent that I am no match for them!"

Shi Yixi dressed himself up so miserably that it was unbearable to look at, as if he had really come from the battlefield.

"But after I argued with them on reason, they agreed to a truce!"

"Really? They're not the type to call a truce so easily."

The emperor sat above, looking at Shi Yixi with suspicion, while Shi Yixi continued speaking.

"Their newly appointed leader is still missing a leader's wife! So they said that as long as we are willing to form a marriage alliance with them, the two countries will be related by marriage, and naturally there will be no talk of war!"

"what?"

It's no wonder the emperor was so shocked, mainly because the marriage alliance between these two countries has historically involved princesses or county princesses.

Since the death of the late empress, the emperor rarely visited the inner palace, so he had few children. Although he had princesses, only one had reached adulthood, while the others were still young.

The only adult princess is Lin Chuyun, the emperor's most beloved daughter. The other princesses are either already married or not yet of marriageable age. How is the emperor supposed to choose when Shi Yixi proposes this?
