The death of Consort Sun completely angered the emperor.

Cui Yuhuai was also heartbroken.

"Xu Nanheng, is the throne so important to you? Mei Shu treated you sincerely when you were young, is this how you treat her?!"

When the prince and princess were young, the harem was relatively peaceful.

The Empress Dowager was gentle to all her children, but she was a little strict with her own son.

She is not a good mother, but she is not a bad person either.

"You secretly killed your brothers and sisters before. Do you think I don't know anything about it? They are all your brothers and sisters!"

"Heh, brothers."

Xu Nanheng sneered, because the shock of mistakenly killing the Emperor Sun and his concubine was instantly restored.

"In the eyes of the emperor, do brothers and sisters mean they can bully their younger brothers at will in school?"

The reason they are in this situation is all because of their so-called brothers and sisters!

The Sun Huang and the Royal Concubine had no good way of educating their children. They turned good children into people who looked down on others and regarded life as worthless. How could such siblings be a pity? !

Xu Nanheng wished that they would all end up like Xu Luo.

"The consequences caused by the Imperial Concubine herself are not in vain."

The cycle of cause and effect has ended.

Xu Nanheng turned around indifferently. The heavy rain made his eyelashes feel as if they weighed a thousand pounds. He closed his eyes.

"I will only give you three days. If you do not agree after three days, I will bring my men in to kill you. Then, they will all die."

"Sheng An is the son and Prince Suli's man. I advise you, father, not to have any other thoughts."

"You——" the emperor was furious.

Xu Nanheng led his people away from Chaowu Palace.

The sound of footsteps moved away from this rainy land.

The gate of Chaowu Palace was under surveillance.

"Go, arrest all the princes and princesses and lock them up."

"yes!"

*

The heavy rain stopped overnight.

No one knows the bloodiness in the dark night.

When the ministers in the court received the news that they would no longer attend the morning court from that day onwards, they knew that something had happened in the palace.

Everyone speculated whether the Seventh Prince was going to rebel.

Xu Guanlin knew best what had happened.

If you want to enter the palace, besides the Meridian Gate, there is a Side Gate at the very edge, which is the least guarded and you can sneak in through there.

However, Xu Guanlin's purpose was not this.

They set out from Yemen as planned, and as expected, they encountered Xu Nanheng's ambushes.

As a result, Xu Guanlin was once again seriously injured and fainted, but this time he was better off not being unconscious. However, he was imprisoned in the East Palace by Xu Nanheng.

It was announced to the outside world that the prince's old injury had relapsed and he needed to recuperate in seclusion.

At the same time, an imperial edict was sent to the Quling Marquis Mansion.

"Your Majesty is sending you to the border at this time?"

Song Jin stared at the contents of the imperial edict in astonishment.

The handwriting is that of the emperor.

But it was obvious that this imperial edict was not the emperor's intention.

The border is guarded by Yu Qin and they don't need to worry about it at all, so there is only one possibility, someone forced the emperor to issue an imperial decree.

Cui Huaiji put away the imperial edict and asked: "Did anything happen in the palace last night?"

Shi An was just about to say this.

During the day, he received news from spies in the palace that the Seventh Prince took advantage of the heavy rain last night and led his troops into the palace.

I'm afraid the palace is now under his control.

Song Jin was stunned. Is this going to be a plot of forcing the emperor to abdicate?

In his previous life, when Xu Nanheng forced the emperor to abdicate, Cui Huaiji was not in Sheng'an. Without this biggest obstacle, forcing the emperor to abdicate was as easy as taking candy from a baby for him.

But in this life, Cui Huaiji had foreseen everything and arranged everything with the prince in advance.

The results of the previous life should not be repeated again.

"Fuji, you can..."

She thought that this time Cui Huaiji didn't have to be sent out obediently.

Cui Huaiji suddenly touched something.

There was a letter inside the imperial edict!

There is no need to say what was written in the letter.

Cui Huaiji closed his eyes, and the letter was crumpled in his hands.

It's nothing more than threatening him with the words of someone he cares about.

Now Cui Yuyao and Xu Muqing are under someone's control. If he doesn't do as Xu Nanheng wants, they will be in danger.

"Mianmei, I'm taking Shi'an away. You stay in Sheng'an and make sure you take good care of yourself. Don't force yourself."

"Don't worry about me. I will find a way to kill those followers. I will just stay around Sheng An and come back anytime if something happens."

At least if Sheng An really gets into trouble, he can get back in time.

Xu Nanheng issued this imperial edict because he was afraid that he would disrupt his plans.

How could he get to the border safely?

They will definitely set up an ambush halfway.

Song Jin was in a heavy mood.

She knew she couldn't stop Cui Huaiji from leaving Sheng'an, she just hoped he would be safe.

Sheng An, who was able to come back alive in his previous life, can definitely do so in this life.

Song Jin believed him.

The guard who read the imperial edict was Xu Nanheng's man.

Seeing that the two of them had nothing to say, he extended his hand as a gesture of invitation.

"My Lord, His Majesty orders you to leave immediately."

"I understand."

Cui Huaiji patted her hand soothingly and left with Shi An.

Fortunately, Meng Shu is still guarding the Marquis's mansion.

*

The night Cui Huaiji left, Song Jinjiu dreamed of things from his past life.

Only this time, what she dreamed about was different from what she remembered.

It was also at this time in his previous life that Cui Huaiji was ordered to leave Sheng'an.

He was assassinated and ambushed on the way, and all the people he was with were killed.

Only Cui Huaiji was left holding on.

"Qu Ling Hou, you can't stay here today."

Cui Huaiji sneered, not taking their threat seriously at all.

At that time, he was still the willful and arrogant Marquis of Quling, lively and different from the lifeless ministers in the court.

It was also different from what she knew.

This is Cui Huaiji in another look.

The fight lasted only a moment.

The title of Jade-faced Yanluo has never been a gimmick.

Cui Huaiji was outnumbered ten at a time, and after killing all the ambushing assassins, he was still able to wipe the blood off his cheek with a faint smile.

That wasn't his blood.

"Seventh Prince, you want to kill me. You underestimate me too much."

He could probably guess why he was transferred.

Because he didn't care who sat on the throne, Xu Nanheng didn't dare to threaten him with the lives of the Third Princess and the Queen, for fear of angering this man and ruining his overall plan.

After killing the man, Cui Huaiji threw away his sword, took off his blood-stained coat, took off his messy bun, and left with his black hair loose.

He walked away in a leisurely manner, and his direction was not the border of the deployment.

Song Jin stared at his back in a daze, as if something had hit his heart.

Cui Huaiji is such a person that one cannot take their eyes off him.

It turns out that he had this kind of personality in his previous life.

The scene changed, and thick smoke rolled in the sky.

The fire was in the emperor's bedroom.

What is going on?

This scene is not in any of Song Jin's memories.

But the protagonist is still Cui Huaiji.

Cui Huaiji was dressed in a black robe, holding a sword in his right hand, with blood dripping from the tip of the sword as it meandered along the way.

He stepped on Xu Nanheng and made him crawl. His face, like that of Guanyin Jade, became gloomy and cold, and his eyes were filled with endless murderous intent.

"Did you kill my sister and Xiaoxiao?"

"You shouldn't touch them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword flashed.

Xu Nanheng screamed as his right palm was chopped off.

"I heard that you go to sweep a person's grave every day. Didn't you kill him yourself? Aren't you afraid that she will think it's unlucky if you go to the young lady's grave?"

tomb?!

Song Jin suddenly woke up. The tomb he was talking about was the tombstone that Xu Nanheng built for her?

"You! Shut up!"

Xu Nanheng grimaced in pain.

Cui Huaiji grinned, "Why, did it hurt you?"

Another sword stabbed into his shoulder blade, and the blade rotated inside.

"ah!"

"When you killed them, you should have expected me to come."

"Are you comfortable with your throne? You exchanged it for my whole family, and you are still trying to build up your deep affection for me. How could she know? If she is still alive, I'm afraid she would want to skin you alive!"

Song Jin nodded heavily.

I even want to applaud him!

However, the scene changed again, and this time she felt dizzy.

In a daze, she seemed to make eye contact with Cui Huaiji in front of her.

"Tsk, he's really good-looking, why are you so blind to fall for him?"

Who? Her?

But it seems that she has never met Cui Huaiji in her previous life?

Or...did he really see her just now?

Song Jin suddenly sat up from the bed.

A ray of light drifted in through the window.

Look up.

It's dawn.

*

I had a dream last night and seemed to see some scenes I had never seen before.

Song Jin still felt a little shiver in his heart.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Even if her strength was small, she had to try her best.

"Qing Wu, send someone to the Zhao Mansion."

It's time to move the buried chess pieces.

Song Jin took a deep breath. His pajamas were soaked with cold sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable, so he threw off the quilt and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

*

The sky washed by heavy rain is so clear and bright.

Zhao Wuan discovered early in the morning that someone else's spies had infiltrated the mansion.

No one knew when this spy had sneaked into the mansion, and by the time he noticed it, it was too late. The Seventh Prince's men had quietly taken control of the Zhao Mansion.

He sat under the eaves, brewing tea and casually stirring the charcoal fire.

Although it is already summer, Zhao Wuan is accustomed to sitting under the eaves and brewing tea quietly by himself.

Since his house was under surveillance, he might as well take this opportunity to rest for a while.

So as to make plans for what happens next.

"Lord Zhao is so free."

Xu Nanheng glanced at the hot tea he had prepared, one cup of which was already placed on the table, as if he knew he would come.

"Seventh Prince."

Zhao Wuan stood up and saluted.

Then sit down together.

Xu Nanheng took a sip and said, "I believe Lord Zhao is aware of the current situation in Sheng'an. I don't know what the crown prince promised you, but as long as Lord Zhao is willing to be loyal to me, I will give you double what he promised."

He seemed to be convinced that Zhao Wuan was loyal to the prince because of money and power.

Unfortunately, this is not what Zhao Wuan is interested in.

The other party remained silent.

Xu Nanheng was not in a hurry and continued, "I just need Lord Zhao to tell me what the Crown Prince has done in recent years. I think Lord Zhao knows what I am referring to."

After a pause, he suddenly forced a smile.

Bo Liang's eyes swept across Zhao Wuan's calm brows.

"I have heard a little about Lord Zhao's parents. In the past, Grand Tutor Zhao worked hard for the development of Yu Dynasty, but was framed by villains. This matter has always been a thorn in Lord Zhao's heart. I can assure you that as long as I have my great cause, I will definitely overturn the case for Grand Tutor Zhao!"

Before meeting Zhao Wuan, Xu Nanheng had already sent people to investigate his background thoroughly.

At first, this poor scholar who was preparing for the imperial examination had taken a fancy to the other party's talent and wanted to recruit him as his disciple, but someone intervened. Now, after a careful investigation, he found that there was a lot of mystery involved.

The prince also used this method to make Zhao Wuan take his position, right?

Xu Nanheng slowly smiled.

Just like at the beginning, I was very sure that Zhao Wuan would not reject me.
