For some reason, although Xie Lin had never seen this woman before, looking at her beautiful face now filled him with a sense of familiarity and warmth.

He even felt as if he had seen them before.

Lanxi has an innocent-looking face, and her eyes are full of simplicity and naivety.

Feeling a surge of protective instinct, the Emperor looked at her and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

However, Gu Wanqing said in a panic, "Your Majesty, quickly summon people! Have the guards, and that bastard Xiao Su, bring men to arrest this woman. Why is she here at this time? I don't know why she has such sinister intentions!"

She was trembling all over, and her fingers were shaking.

Gu Wanqing clearly told herself not to be afraid, but at this moment she was still so scared that she couldn't say anything, her eyes filled only with fear and distress for her.

Xie Lin wasn't stupid; how could he not notice something amiss? Without even waiting for Lan Xi to speak, he looked at Gu Wanqing and asked, "You know her, and what grudge do you hold against her?"

"Tell me your story in detail, and I'll help you."

"Now that I know what it is, my beloved concubine, I am willing to do anything for you."

Xie Lin spoke these words almost like a madman.

"I have neglected all four of my princes, leaving only your child, Gu Wanqing. You must not disappoint me!"

Speaking of which, Xie Lin's children are all quite grown up.

The fourth one was the one who went to the southwest to harass Jiang Zhiyun and his group. As for the others, they were also causing trouble in the northwest, which suddenly seemed absurd to Jiang Zhiyun.

Indeed, after they arrived in Bianjing, they did not see any of the four princes.

Jiang Zhiyun had always thought that she had never been in contact with the palace.

When Xie Shuheng came over this time, he asked carefully: "I remember we analyzed the personalities of the princes before. Why is it that even though I have been named Princess Jinxiu, I still haven't seen those princes?"

"I have never seen the Fourth Prince Xie Chengze, the Third Prince Xie Chengen, the Second Prince Xie Chengzhan, or the so-called Crown Prince who was the final contender."

"I got caught up in the conflict between the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor as soon as I arrived here. It seems that the Emperor is so obsessed with loving only the Imperial Concubine that he has gone mad."

Xie Shuheng nodded: "That's why I felt comfortable letting you come."

"When we were in the Northwest, the one who dealt with us was the Second Prince Xie Chengzhan. He could only rebel if he seized military power, but he failed."

"I never saw him; he committed suicide in the military camp."

"With a father like that, they know better than anyone that their future lies not in Bianjing, but in the Northwest and Southwest, and even the Northeast."

"So," Xie Shuheng paused, "Xie Chengen and Crown Prince Xie Chengxuan naturally became my obstacles. They couldn't control Bianjing, so they could only enter through me."

"They set up countless traps, but I broke them all."

“Now, he is a prisoner of war that I have captured. He is not dead, he is alive,” Xie Shuheng explained. “I promised you last time that I would not hurt people easily.”

Jiang Zhiyun nodded after hearing this.

"No wonder I always felt that the relationships in the palace were so simple; it turns out they all went out to deal with you."

Jiang Zhiyun had never considered these things when she planned for Xie Shuheng. Now she felt that the fact that Bianjing was captured so quickly and that the princes were falling apart and fleeing outwards was also related to the power struggles within the capital…

Xie Shuheng's position of power and formidable ability is what draws them there.

From Jiang Zhiyun's perspective, it was only a few months, nothing more than being imprisoned in Bianjing City, or perhaps confined to the palace with no end in sight.

Throughout those years, Xie Shuheng fought a bitter battle every single day.

this person……

Jiang Zhiyun's eyes reddened: "Xie Shuheng, you really are a big idiot, a really big idiot."

"No," Xie Shuheng said. "I'm confident. Besides, your memories have helped me a lot. The emperor is the only one in this palace. If I calculate it, the emperor is even less intelligent than the crown prince, Xie Chengxuan. That's why I'm at ease. With your intelligence, you'll definitely be able to protect yourself."

"I did think that you would be forced to take the path of marriage alliance. Originally, I planned to use both Gu Wanzhi and Jiang Zhiwan as options to help you with the marriage alliance. I never expected that the Turks would be so foolish. They sent these people up, so I naturally killed them and sent them to the palace in their place. Of course, this is something I did not anticipate."

Xie Shuheng had originally thought that the two of them would only be able to see each other for the first time after everything had settled down, but now that he was able to come and help her share her pain so quickly, he was still happy.

Being able to come here, and fighting side by side with my husband, makes everything feel good.

At this moment, Jiang Zhiyun ran over and hugged Xie Shuheng's waist.

He has indeed become much thinner, but at the same time he is still very muscular.

Yunniang hugged him and started to cry, making Xie Shuheng's heart feel warm.

"do not Cry."

"How long are you going to hold me?" Xie Shuheng asked. At this moment, Jiang Zhiyun didn't let go at all, and even held on tighter.

"No, I want to be held. I want to hold you forever..."

"Xie Shuheng, why are you so petty? We're husband and wife. Does that mean I can't even touch you as a husband and wife?"

When Yunniang said this, she sounded mournful, and even pinched his waist.

Xie Shuheng pinched her, and she was able to run away very quickly. But this person was not fun at all; even her waist felt different.

"Yunniang, you are great, and very good."

"I'm coming to see you with unstoppable momentum. This is what we agreed upon beforehand."

“I can handle those princes.”

"Now, His Majesty should be talking with Lanxi. We can go and take a look..."

"Look at the result of this infighting."

Yunniang felt uneasy: "We must not let Lanxi get hurt."

“No one wants to experience this kind of harm a second time.” Hearing Jiang Zhiyun say this, Xie Shuheng nodded: “Don’t worry, I know. I’m not some wicked villain.”

"Wherever my wife is, that's where I stand."

-

Xie Lin also recalled the general outline of the incident.

"I have never paid any attention to my other four princes. Whether they fight amongst themselves or strive for progress, I give hope to each of them."

"I just hope they can defeat each other and then make way for your child, Gu Wanqing's child. Whether it's a boy or a girl, that position can only be held by the person we love."

"..." Gu Wanqing was inevitably moved upon hearing these words.

But in the current situation, it's not appropriate.
