After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Xie Yuze pursed his lips.

He couldn't refute what Xie Yuhe said.

He turned to look at Xie Yuhe and asked, "So what are your plans?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Xie family turned to look at Xie Yuhe.

Xie Ansheng also said, "The tiger tally must be handed over to His Majesty tomorrow. If we don't inquire about it today, I'm afraid..."

Xie Yuhe said, "I hadn't thought it through before, but now that I think about it, if I talk to her nicely, I can still get the tiger tally."

Madam Xie was sobbing softly beside her.

She only felt that her life was miserable.

He poured his heart and soul into Xie Mingzhu, but he never expected to raise such an ungrateful child.

The daughter, whom they gave birth to with half their lives, has been heartbroken, and now they want to sever ties with them.

Madam Xie cried, "Fate is cruel! If my daughter hadn't been switched, would things be like this now?"

Xie Ansheng looked at Madam Xie and said, "Now is not the time to cry. You are her biological mother, and a mother's words will naturally be more polite than those of others."

"Today you will go to the palace with the eldest brother."

Madam Xie stopped crying.

Xie Yuze glanced at Madam Xie; he didn't think that Madam Xie's entry into the palace would change anything.

Xie Yuze said, "Of all the Xie family members, I am most familiar with Xie Xing. Let me go with him."

Xie Ansheng thought for a moment and nodded.

Meanwhile, the Xie family plans to send someone into the palace.

Meanwhile, news that the Seventh Prince, Luo Hanfeng, was being chased but was rescued by the Emperor reached the palace.

I heard that the emperor was quite worried about this prince, so he hurriedly returned to the palace to summon the imperial physician to the hall. No matter what, the first priority was to save Luo Hanfeng's life.

The news reached the Fifth Princess's palace.

At that moment, Xie Xing and Luo Mengfei were biting their pens, writing furiously under Jun Lanjin's watchful gaze.

Xie Xing has been a top student since childhood, so he naturally has a firm grasp of this knowledge. As long as Jun Lanjin gives him a little guidance, he can understand it thoroughly.

When Jun Lanjin picked up Xie Xing's exam paper, he discovered that she possessed talents that were not typical of men.

Even the most difficult arithmetic can be solved easily.

only…

Jun Lanjin stretched out his hand and pointed to the formula Xie Xing had listed: "What is this?"

Xie Xing leaned over to take a look, and then smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is a formula that I calculated in a simpler way."

Even without Xie Xing saying it, Jun Lanjin could guess that she had learned it from her own world.

Jun Lanjin glanced at the other contents, then looked at Xie Xing with a half-smile and said, "The Xie family originally thought you were a woman who knew nothing and had no literary talent, but they did not expect that your talent was no less than that of the men in the court."

"The so-called first talented woman is not as good as you."

Xie Xing felt ashamed.

She only had access to modern compulsory education because of the convenience of time and space, while Xie Mingzhu had never received any education.

What's the point of comparing them?

If Xie Xing wanted to pretend, she could do what many female protagonists in time-travel novels do: take out ancient poems she used to memorize and pretend they were hers, thus putting on a little act.

Doing so is unethical and unnecessary.

Seeing this, Luo Mengfei also went over to take a look.

Compared to Xie Xing's neat and orderly handwriting, Luo Mengfei's crooked and messy handwriting was also somewhat nonsensical.

This was the first time Luo Mengfei had noticed Xie Xing's talent. She looked at Xie Xing with some surprise: "You can do all this?"

"Weren't you raised in the countryside since you were a child?"

Are all women in the countryside curly-haired like this now?

Xie Xinghui, skilled in chess and painting, was a woman whose literary talent rivaled that of women in the capital.

Xie Xing, with this kind of potential, has far more room for growth than Xie Mingzhu, who spent countless resources of the Xie family to cultivate him.

I don't know what the Xie family was thinking, mistaking a pearl for a fish eye.

Jun Lanjin glanced at Xie Xing, who was sitting at the desk, looking up at Jun Lanjin and smiling.

"Your Highness." Just then, Hua An walked in from outside. He glanced at Xie Xing and Luo Mengfei, then whispered in Jun Lanjin's ear, "The Seventh Prince has returned to the palace."

"Oh?"

Jun Lanjin raised an eyebrow.

Hua An wanted to say something, but because Xie Xing and Luo Mengfei were there, he didn't say anything.

Jun Lanjin moved a little further away from the two of them.

Hua An then whispered, "I heard that the Seventh Prince was being chased when he happened to fall in front of the Emperor's palanquin."

Jun Lanjin narrowed his eyes slightly, and upon hearing this, he sneered and said, "He is quite cunning. My men did not attack him again when they approached Shengjing."

Hua An nodded: "Before the Seventh Prince fainted, he said something to His Majesty: Xie Tongchen had joined forces with an enemy country to hunt him down."

"It seems they want to throw this mud at the Xie family."

Jun Lanjin rubbed his fingers together. "He's single-mindedly focused on the death of the Xie family."

Hua An whispered, "The Xie family is, after all, a valuable asset to His Majesty. Without the Xie family, there will be fewer people to serve His Majesty."

Apart from the Jun family and the Sixth Prince, the Xie family holds significant power, enabling them to contend with other forces. They are also the only high-ranking military general in the court.

Now that His Majesty has taken back military power, he will naturally distribute the Xie family's military power among the lower ranks, gradually strengthening imperial power and weakening the power of the ministers.

He consolidated military power for himself.

This is certainly a good thing; it spares the Xie family's lives and even makes them grateful and willing to risk their lives for him.

However, if the Xie family were to die, the emperor would have no capable generals to rely on, which would naturally make it easier for Luo Hanfeng and others to operate in secret.

Jun Lanjin said, "I will go and take a look."

After saying this, Jun Lanjin let Xie Xing and Luo Mengfei leave and walked towards the emperor's palace.

Xie Xing and Luo Mengfei huddled together, watching Jun Lanjin's departing figure, and muttered to themselves, "Father must have something to do with the Emperor, which is why he called the Demon King away."

Xie Xing stroked his chin with his fingers. "What exactly happened?"

Luo Mengfei nudged her hand and said nonchalantly, "Why do you care so much?"

"Women should not concern themselves with important court affairs. If someone finds fault with you and gives you a pretext for gossip, you're finished."

Xie Xing naturally knew.

But she had a vague sense of unease.

As the plot unfolds, Luo Hanfeng now hates her to the core and wishes he could kill her.

The relationship between Luo Hanfeng and Xie Mingzhu is heating up, and they are just one life-or-death crisis away from it.

She and Junlan Jin…

Xie Xing looked at the 60% favorability rating and felt a little frustrated.

How exactly can I raise this level of favorability to sixty?

Do we really have to wait until that event happens?

Xie Xing was deep in thought.

Just then, a palace servant announced from outside: "Your Highness, Miss Yin has come to request an audience."

"Why is it her again?" Luo Mengfei said impatiently.

Last night, Yin Ruyu came over and was overjoyed to see Luo Huaichuan there. She shamelessly sat there for a long time.

It seemed as if they didn't notice Luo Mengfei and Xie Xing's dislike for them.

They praised Xie Xing's cooking skills to the skies, but in reality, they only licked the barbecue skewers Xie Xing made.

Yin Ruyu is in poor health and cannot eat these things.
