Xie Yuan wasn't looking for death; she had simply encountered another predicament.
A few days ago, a secret letter I received mentioned something: a strange woman suddenly appeared in front of Helian Jue's army.
She claimed to know Empress Xie's secrets!
That one sentence sent a chill down Xie Yuan's spine and made him feel a pang of panic.
What's her background?
Xie Yuan's biggest secret is his identity as a time traveler.
And in this world, besides her, there might be a second time traveler.
Having guessed this, Xie Yuan was in a state of turmoil.
Especially when you think of Helian Jue's madness and obsession—
Xie Yuan has always presented himself as someone who has nothing to hide from you!
There are no secrets between my husband and me!
But she kept such a big secret from him.
If Helian Jue were a rational person, he should be able to understand.
After all, everyone has secrets buried deep in their hearts, and couples should also maintain a certain amount of personal space.
But Helian Jue is different.
He's a psychopath!
He would go mad if he learned Xie Yuan's secret from an outsider!
Three years ago, Xie Yuan went through so much trouble to gain Helian Jue's complete trust, and the couple became completely estranged.
This time, it's estimated that everything will be destroyed.
Xie Yuan didn't want to face that situation.
It just so happens that the capital is experiencing many storms, and many people want her dead.
So she decided to play along and take another gamble.
If they win, there will be no more problems between the couple.
After losing, she took her child and fled overseas!
Xie Yuan gripped his wine glass tightly, muttering to himself: "Sigh, I hope Li's Ten Thousand Poisons Pill is really as miraculous as Baozhu boasted."
otherwise--
No other way!
Xie Yuan believed in Li Baozhu, and even more so in the medical talents he had carefully cultivated.
Composing himself, Xie Yuan drank wine while admiring the performance.
Before long, more than ten young women had finished their performances.
Xie Yuan pretended not to understand these people's intentions, and just acted as if he had watched the Spring Festival Gala.
Empress Xie pretended to be stupid, but some of the women in the family disagreed.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of my daughter, Amin? She is deeply in love with Your Majesty and the Emperor, and wishes to enter the palace to serve you!"
Yang Min's mother stepped forward and directly pierced the paper window.
Xie Yuan: ...That's not good!
Who would eagerly become someone's concubine?
Uh, okay!
Helian Jue is the emperor; it's not shameful for you to be his concubine!
But if you want to cling to Helian Jue, go find him. Why are you giving me this nonsense?
Perhaps because he had drunk a little alcohol, Xie Yuan was a little tipsy.
She gently rubbed her fair forehead. "Madam Yang, are you trying to 'force the palace'?"
Upon hearing this, the others were fine, because they knew that Empress Xie was just angry and deliberately said such things to put Lady Yang down.
Only the women of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion changed their expressions.
Princess Ruyang even accidentally dropped her wine cup.
Clang!
The sound wasn't too loud, but Princess Ruyang's reaction was very strange.
Even Madam Yang, who had taken the initiative to step forward, looked at Princess Ruyang with suspicion.
The once noisy banquet venue instantly fell silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, even creating a sense of oppression and suffocation that made it hard to breathe!
The ladies present were mostly from prestigious families and had married into equally prominent clans.
Even the most dull-witted person has at least some political acumen.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Wang Yu's wife was quite old, and her eyes were slightly cloudy.
But at this moment, her eyes shone brightly as she looked directly at the Princess Consort of Ruyang.
Nanling also cooperated very well, showing a guilty and flustered expression when Princess Ruyang smashed the cup.
She was practically a "divine assist"! (Reading...)
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Prince of Ruyang's mansion were so flustered that it was as if they had the words "conspiracy" written all over their foreheads.
"You vile queen, you are jealous of talent and virtue, you have brought chaos to the country, I... I will rid the people of this scourge!"
Princess Ruyang did indeed possess a certain ruthlessness in making decisive decisions.
Realizing she had been exposed, she didn't hesitate and lunged at Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan didn't know martial arts, but she would regularly train with the female soldiers.
The key is that she is young. At the age of twenty-five, she was considered "old" by people in ancient times, but Xie Yuan knew that this was the best age for her.
With a swift movement, Xie Yuan dodged the Princess of Ruyang.
Immediately afterwards, several people dressed as palace maids appeared quickly and blocked Xie Yuan's way.
While dodging, Xie Yuan didn't forget to pull Nanling back!
Nanling is her friend, and she would never leave her to the people of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry about me!"
Nanling was also worried about Xie Yuan, fearing that she would become a burden to the Empress.
"Don't worry! I've arranged everything!"
Xie Yuan rubbed his temples to keep himself awake.
After receiving the secret letter from Nanling, Xie Yuan began to investigate and make plans.
The Prince of Ruyang's residence was indeed well-hidden, managing to "lie dormant" under the emperor's very nose for decades.
However, this does not mean that the Prince of Ruyang's residence was truly without any flaws.
The main reason no one noticed it in the past was that they didn't pay attention.
Firstly, the Prince of Ruyang's residence would be able to disguise itself;
Secondly, the Prince of Ruyang's residence was indeed relatively well-behaved;
Thirdly, neither the late emperor nor Helian Jue had yet had the opportunity to act.
Once peace is restored throughout the land and all other troubles are eliminated, the military power of the Prince of Ruyang's mansion will be taken back.
