Such outrageous remarks are as annoying as ever.

Cui Huaiji's patience ran out, and he frowned. "The Fifth Princess wants to threaten me with this, but I'm afraid you've found the wrong person. The Quling Marquis's Mansion does not welcome the Fifth Princess. If the Fifth Princess does not want to be kicked out by me again, then leave on your own!"

The early summer evening breeze brings a slight chill.

The brush strokes on my cheeks left me tinged with coldness.

Xu Zhaoran was furious, knowing that he kept his word. The humiliation of being kicked out of the house that year was still fresh in her mind. She blushed and was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

I looked up and saw his cold eyes.

Xu Zhaoran gritted his teeth and left in anger.

She was just waiting for Cui Huaiji to regret and come to beg her for mercy!

Xu Zhaoran disappeared in the Xinu Garden, and the next moment An's figure walked out from the darkness.

Cui Huaiji didn't move his eyebrows and went straight back to the house. The moonlight lengthened his shadow.

It spread all the way to Shi An's feet.

"Keep your eyes on her."

"yes!"

The next day, Cui Huaiji received news from Chang Yue.

The prince's body suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse and he vomited a lot of dirty blood.

The situation was exactly as Xu Zhaoran had said. Xu Guanlin's health was getting worse and worse, and the doctors also said that they could not cure him.

At this time, it is the turn of the eucalyptus to play a role.

With his skills, it would be easy for him to steal the antidote from Xu Zhaoran.

Cui Huaiji was not worried about what was happening with the prince. The current situation was unpredictable, and he needed to keep an eye on Xu Nanheng's movements.

But he did not expect that something would happen in Qingzhou.

King Suli's party actually captured Qingzhou!

Xu Nanheng volunteered to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion. Once the rebellion was suppressed by him, the merit befell him would be praised by the world, and then no one would be able to stop him from ascending the throne.

"My Lord!"

Zhao Wuan sneaked into the mansion from the back door, took off his hat and said anxiously, "I heard something happened in Qingzhou, is the young lady still in Qingzhou?"

Cui Huaiji had no secrets.

It was a foregone conclusion that Xu Nanheng was going to Qingzhou to suppress the rebellion. What they had to do was to prevent Xu Nanheng from succeeding.

"You should know more about the situation in Sheng'an than I do. What is going on in the palace now?"

Zhao Wuan: "The Seventh Prince did not dare to attack Your Majesty, but only imprisoned them. The palace was strictly sealed. The Seventh Prince knew that I was the Crown Prince's man, and he tried to find fault with me everywhere in order to punish me."

Not much different from what Chang Yue said.

It seems that the palace is safe for the time being.

Cui Huaiji was relieved. "I need to go to the palace to see His Majesty. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Wuan thought for a moment, "There is a shift change every two hours in the palace, so there is a quarter-hour window. You may sneak in during this time, but you must not stay for long. The Seventh Prince's men are too vigilant, and they will be discovered if you are not careful."

He had tried to sneak into the palace before, but was discovered by Xu Nanheng's men halfway.

Now that the prince was unconscious, Xu Nanheng pulled out all the aides and court officials around him one by one. If he had not interacted less with the prince before, he would probably have been included in the plot.

Cui Huaiji looked down and said, "Contact General Dingguo if necessary. He is one of us. I must go to Qingzhou in person."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. Sheng An is in a balance now, as long as Xu Nanheng doesn't want to be labeled a rebel!"

What Cui Huaiji feared most was that Xu Nanheng would do something desperate.

Just as Song Jin guessed, in the previous life, Xu Nanheng forced the emperor to abdicate three months later. If Xu Nanheng were to take desperate measures, Sheng An would be in great danger.

Su Liwang's faction is in the dark, while they are in the light, and no one knows how many of their people are in Sheng'an.

"Zhao Wu'an, please come closer, I have something to entrust to you..."

Chaowu Palace.

The emperor and empress were trapped here, and all those outside the palace were Xu Nanheng's men.

Cui Yuhuai had to take care of the emperor's health on the one hand, and maintain unity among the people in Chaowu Palace on the other. However, in just half a month, she looked visibly haggard.

The emperor held her hand lovingly, "Ah Ai, you have worked hard these days, ahem!"

"Your Majesty!" Cui Yuhuai gently patted his back, "Don't hurt yourself, I'm just a little tired, it's not a big deal."

"That bastard!"

The emperor could never have imagined that his seventh son would do such a thing.

Concubine Qi lived in seclusion in the Taichang Palace and ignored worldly affairs. Xu Nanheng didn't even care about his father, let alone his mother.

Cui Yuhuai comforted him: "I have heard that Fu Ji has returned. I think he will find a way to come in and see us."

"Fu Ji..."

The emperor's eyes brightened a little, "Yes, and Fu Ji... that evil boy's plan, don't even think about achieving it!"

Cui Yuyao raised her eyes and looked at his thin profile.

Continuous suffering from illness has made the emperor thinner and thinner, and he no longer has the vigor and vitality he once had.

His lips moved for a few breaths, but in the end he said nothing.

Soon, Yilan came in with the eunuch who was delivering the meal.

Cui Yuying was busy calming the emperor's emotions and had no time to pay attention to this. She believed that Yilan would not betray her.

"Sister."

The voice I had been thinking about day and night suddenly appeared.

Cui Yuhuai couldn't believe it, but she hoped that what she thought was true.

She turned her head, made sure she was not dazzled, and rushed over with joy.

He pulled Cui Huaiji and looked him up and down.

"Nothing hurt... OK, OK!"

The emperor staggered over and patted him on the shoulder: "Fuji...what's the situation outside now?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Sheng An is doing fine now. As for the Seventh Prince's trip to Qingzhou, I plan to follow him in secret."

"Okay!" The emperor coughed excitedly several times, "We must stop that evil boy!"

"His Majesty!"

Cui Yuying hurriedly brought him some hot tea.

Cui Huaiji was finally relieved when he found out that the people he was most worried about were fine.

Looking at the two of them supporting each other.

Cui Huaiji knelt down suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have never asked for anything from you. I only hope that you will take good care of my sister. I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

On this trip to Qingzhou, no one knows what kind of changes will happen to Sheng An.

The rebellion in Qingzhou was definitely their plan.

Once Qu Linghou, who intimidates the enemy, leaves Sheng'an, it will be the best time for them to cause trouble.

Even though Cui Huaiji had arranged everything, he was still worried.

"I promise you that I will let you see Ah Wei alive and kicking."

The emperor held Cui Yuhua's hand tightly and made a solemn promise.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

*

At the city gate, the seventh prince led a team of troops out of the city to Qingzhou to suppress the rebels.

Cui Huaiji stood upstairs and watched.

Behind him are Zhao Wuan and Yu Qin.

"General Yu, Sheng An's safety is in your hands. We still have people in the court. If necessary, we can join forces to suppress them."

"Yes!" Yu Qin glanced at the team downstairs, "Lord Hou, it's too dangerous for you to go to Qingzhou alone, ask Anan to go with you."

“…Alright.”

After the Seventh Prince's team left, Cui Huaiji and Yu Dingnanqiao disguised themselves as ordinary people and sneaked out of the city.

The person who was watching secretly ran back to report the news.

Yu Dingnan noticed that the fly behind him had left, and then he took off his veil.

"What is your plan, Lord?"

Cui Huaiji shook his head lightly: "The rebels have occupied Qingzhou. It is estimated that our people will not be able to get in. Let's first sneak into Xu Nanheng's team and see what the situation is when we get to Qingzhou."

Yu Dingnan pondered: "What about Miss Song?"

After these words were spoken, Cui Huaiji fell silent.

She and Cui Huaiji have known each other for so many years, how could she not guess how he feels now.

He acted so calmly that it was obvious that he was not normal.

"I believe her."

One word is worth a thousand words.

Yu Dingnan was surprised at his trust in Song Jin.

Even though the image of Song Jin in her mind was different from that of others, she was still a delicate young lady after all, and had never seen a bloody fighting scene.

Those rebels will not show mercy to women.

Maybe... Miss Song is really different from others?

The scene where Song Jin gave her the sword flashed through her mind.

*

Ten days later, the army marched straight in and approached the city of Qingzhou.

Xu Nanheng was wearing silver armor, sitting on a red-maned horse, looking up at the two shadows on the city wall.

After seeing who it was, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Today? Morning snow?

Two unexpected figures suddenly appeared on the city wall.

Song Jin and Yang Chaoxue were tied up by the rebels and taken to the city wall in an attempt to threaten him.

The rebel leader, Chen Zhao, overlooks the army.

"Seventh Prince, seeing is believing!"

Xu Nanheng gripped the hilt of the sword tightly. "What do you want to do?"

Chen Zhao did not answer, but drew out his sword, and lifted the chins of the two men with the sharp tip of the sword.

He smiled and said, "I heard that these two are both the Seventh Prince's favorites, but I wonder who is more important in the Seventh Prince's heart?"

How did it turn out like this?

Didn't King Su Li's people cooperate with Yang Chaoxue? Why would they go back on their word at this time?

Xu Nanheng's face suddenly darkened, and the accompanying generals asked him in a low voice what to do.

What to do?

He also wanted to know what to do, this was not in the plan at all!

"Brother Nanheng!"

Yang Chaoxue cried with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling, and her watery eyes revealed her emotions directly.

Under public scrutiny, she could not reveal her relationship with the rebels.

On the other side, Song Jin was very calm.

Even though his hands were tied and a sword was placed at his neck, his expression remained calm.

Looking down from a high place, you can clearly see everyone's expressions.

She could see every bit of the confusion and distress in Xu Nanheng's eyes.

[Heh, Xu Nanheng, when you were plotting against me, did you ever think about the situation like this? ]

It was true that the rebels captured Yang Chaoxue to threaten him, but who could have imagined that she was behind it?

If you want to make your wish come true, it depends on whether she agrees or not.

Having been shot once, Song Jin would not make the same mistake again.

Chen Zhao looked at him with satisfaction: "Seventh Prince, how are you going to choose? They are all adorable young ladies!"

[The classic choice between two in the storybook, only a fool would play with you! 】

Song Jin rolled his eyes in his heart.

As long as Yang Chaoxue was around, Xu Nanheng would definitely not shoot her.

In his previous life, it was Yang Chaoxue who whispered in his ear. For someone as indecisive as Xu Nanheng, who doesn't want to let go of either side, it would be wrong to choose anyone at this time.

I guess there will be no results today.

[I don’t know when the Lord will come.]

Song Jin observed the people below without making a sound.

[Aye, I'm here.]

Song Jin found his location accurately and also saw Yu Dingnan beside him.

[Fuji, the east gate is the least guarded. My uncle's people are there to pick you up. You can sneak in from there.]

[Okay, are you hurt?]

Song Jin remained calm and concealed his injuries.

[No, Yang Chaoxue wanted to do something to me, so I took the opportunity to sow discord between them. Look, the smart guy was misled by the smart guy, and I was also arrested.]
