"Have you buried everything? Have the King of Qin's men found it?"

As soon as the two entered the rockery, the rocks slowly closed up again.

Although there was a stone door between him and the man's secret room, Sheng Yichen, who was well versed in the subject, could still vaguely hear the conversation inside.

After the deep male voice, there was a flattering voice.

"Are you still worried about me doing my job? We recently went to great lengths to steal the guard rotation map of the main house."

"This morning, we took advantage of the guard change in the main house and sent a few people into the courtyard. We buried the things you gave us in an unexpected place."

"Now we are waiting for the Qianqing Palace to send people to search the house. It will be too late to attack them."

Sheng Yichen held Sheng Nanxi tightly in his arms, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

The second flattering voice was obviously from my second uncle. The first deep voice sounded a bit like my uncle's.

Although my second uncle also lived in the Prince of Qin's mansion, he had always been at odds with them because my son was born to a concubine.

Could it be that they are plotting something here that will harm the eldest wife? !

Sheng Yichen signaled Sheng Nanxi to keep quiet, and quietly put his ear closer to the stone door of the secret room.

Only to hear the voice of the uncle again:

"Okay, okay! I have informed His Majesty. As long as the matter is accomplished tomorrow, the Qin Palace will be sentenced to exile. His Majesty will use the pretext of reporting you to the emperor, and will not only pardon you, the second branch, but will also promote you to a higher rank."

"I will reward you privately with another thousand taels of gold and a mansion!"

However, he changed the subject and his voice was mixed with some worry:

"I'm still a little worried. Send more people to keep an eye on the situation in the courtyard. The sons of the King of Qin are all outstanding. The emperor has tried to get rid of the King of Qin's direct line several times in recent years, but they have escaped every time. There can't be any mistakes this time."

"Don't worry."

The man who spoke this time had a very unfamiliar voice, and his tone showed no respect for the king's uncle. It was obvious that he was of a very high status.

Sheng Yichen was quite puzzled. He was well aware of the powerful people in the capital, but he had never heard of this voice.

When did a big shot come to the capital?

Although he was still confused, Sheng Yichen quickly pulled back his thoughts and listened carefully to the conversation. He only heard the strange man's voice:

"Haven't you already found the seriously injured King Qin and the fifth son of the Qin family?"

"According to the previous plan, the Qin Palace will be exiled to the northern border tonight because of the witch case. The seriously injured Sheng Jinghai and Sheng Xice will meet with the exile team in Liuyun County, a hundred miles away from Beijing."

"As long as Sheng Jinghai and Sheng Xice are held hostage in your place, are you still afraid that the Sheng family members who remain in the capital will not obey your orders?"

At this point, Cao Yi's tone became much lighter:

"This is all thanks to Mr. Qi's advice to us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to so successfully instigate the rebellion of the King of Qin and his generals, seriously injuring the King of Qin and the fifth son of the Qin family."

"What a pity! Now the army in Southern Qi follows the lead of the King of Qin. Now that the King of Qin is dead, I'm afraid that the army will lose morale and give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"For now, we can only wait for the Qin Palace to hand over the tiger talisman and seize the time to appease the army. When the time is right, we can create an accident and let all the Qin's direct descendants die on the road to exile..."

After hearing this, Sheng Yichen almost understood the situation. His heart was completely dead.

My father fought on the battlefield and was willing to work hard all his life. It was all for the sake of protecting the peace of the people of Nanqi and the royal family of Nanqi who had been so kind to him.

They also knew that a high-ranking general would easily arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Over the years, the Qin Palace has tried every possible way to hide its edge. Who would have thought that it still failed to dispel the emperor's suspicion and actually caught all the direct descendants of the Qin Palace in one fell swoop!

Even Mai’s grandmother and young sister were not spared!

Sheng Yichen clenched his fists tightly, veins throbbing. A surge of grief and anger surged in his heart. He couldn't help but hold his little sister tighter in his arms.

But now was not the time to be sad, he immediately calmed down his grief and began to think about countermeasures.

What should I do now? Run away with my family before anything happens?

Obviously impractical.

I guess the city gates must have been strictly guarded at this time, allowing people to enter but not leave.

Not to mention that my father and fifth brother are still held hostage on each other's side, my grandmother is seriously ill, my mother is sick from worrying all day, and my eldest brother was poisoned a few years ago and his lower limbs are paralyzed and he can't walk.

Apart from his 15-year-old little sister, he was the only healthy person among the direct descendants of the Prince of Qin who stayed in the capital. How far could he lead everyone to escape?

Fortunately, the emperor was still worried about the influence of the King of Qin on Southern Qi, so he did not dare to kill them immediately and only prepared to exile them first.

I had no choice but to follow the exile team for a while, and then think of a way to escape after rescuing my father and fifth brother.

But now,

Even though the adults can't escape, maybe Xi'er can...

Thinking of this, Sheng Yichen made sure that no one was around, then took Sheng Nanxi into a bush, forced a smile and said:

"My dear Xi'er, grandma's condition has become more serious recently. We are going to accompany her to Yuquan to recuperate. But my brother has not yet finished his work. I will let Shadow Guard take you there first, and we will meet in Bieyang then."

But the next moment, he met a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.

The little milk bag in front of him made him feel strange for some reason.

"Humph! I won't be here for long. Stop lying! It's obviously us who are exiled, but you don't want me to suffer with you, so you're going to let the shadow guards beside you desperately send me there first!"

"Forehead..."

Sheng Yichen obviously didn't expect that his 15-year-old sister could speak so coherently, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Little sister, you didn't come here to get the Trojan horse. Did you know they were plotting something and lured your brother here?"

Sheng Yichen's voice trembled, and he himself felt that this idea was ridiculous.

But given the facts, it seems that only this guess makes sense.

Now that time was running out, Sheng Nanxi was too lazy to pretend and said directly:

"Brother...I had a very long dream last night. I dreamed that our family was confiscated and we were exiled, and we all died on the way to exile."

"So... I wanted to take you to see the place I dreamed of yesterday. I didn't expect... it was real."

"hiss--"

These few simple words made Sheng Yichen gasp for air. He stood there for a long time, speechless.

"Brother... that dream was so real that I felt like I was experiencing everything myself."

"In my dream, I disappeared when I fell into the pond today. Then I turned into a ghost and witnessed everything that happened afterwards. A few decades later, I was accepted as an apprentice by a fairy sister. She taught me a lot of knowledge and magic. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day before our house was confiscated."

"From the time I woke up until now, everything has come true. So, I think I should be reborn just like the picture book we read before."

It was a bit difficult for the ancients to understand that the doomsday boss traveled through the book, so Sheng Nanxi had to make up a fairy sister to take the blame.

Anyway, she had read the original book and knew that the whole family loved Yuan De very much, so she didn't want to reveal some of her cards to them.

After all, as the only one in the family who knows the direction of the plot, she will definitely do a lot to change the plot in the future.

Acting like a child all the time will only hinder you and make it inconvenient for you to act.

In order to make her words more convincing, Sheng Nanxi changed her mind, and a small flame appeared directly on the little girl's cheeks.

"Brother, look, this is what the fairy sister taught me."

Sheng Yichen's pupils shrank and he almost dropped the little baby in his arms to the ground.

"Sister...sister, are you...are you really the disciple of the immortal?"
