Xiao Chengyan was shocked and wary of how easily Xiao Lichen overthrew Prince Junshan and Prince Lingchang of the Left.
In his opinion, the greatest merit of his father was that he recruited Xiao Lichen, a useless man who could not walk, to become the leader of the Xiaoyu Guard.
Since Xiao Yuwei was reactivated by Emperor Jianchang, it has played a huge role in the court, helping him monitor officials, uncover secrets, collect information, and intimidate court officials.
This made these princes tremble with fear. With such a powerful arm, whatever they wanted to do would fall under the eyes of Xiao Yuwei.
This slowed down his progress in developing his own strength.
"Master, I have secretly inquired about this. It seems that when King Junshan and the Left Prime Minister were captured, they were captured on the spot by the Xiaoyu Guards after they found a treasure from the previous dynasty."
"Treasure from the previous dynasty?"
Xiao Chengyan's heart began to beat wildly.
Isn't this the treasure he was looking for? King Junshan and his men actually found it first.
Xiao Chengyan felt heartbroken when he thought that he had lost a huge sum of money that could be used to achieve his great cause because he was a step late in taking action.
After losing these treasures, his heart seemed to collapse, and he regretted it so much that he wanted to kill someone.
"What about the whereabouts of that treasure? Now that King Junshan has fallen, we must quickly gather up his troops hiding in the mountains outside Yanzhou."
After hearing his master's words, guard Yin Gen hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Chengyan asked with a gloomy face. His mood at the moment was filled with gloom, and it could be said that he was in a very bad mood.
Yin Gen had followed his master for many years, so of course he could see that his master was about to get furious.
But some things have to be said.
"According to information gathered by this subordinate, the treasure found by Prince Junshan fell into the hands of Prince Yong's son, Xiao Lichen. Furthermore, the troops of Prince Junshan, who were stationed outside Yanzhou, were secretly recruited by Your Majesty some time ago."
After hearing these two things, Xiao Chengyan clenched his right hand into a fist and punched the small table where the tea was placed. The small table shattered under his great force.
"What a wicked Xiao Lichen! He is my nemesis, isn't he? I can't sit still and wait for death any longer. Yin Gen, hurry up! After returning to the capital, contact our people and challenge Xiao Lichen in the court. We must find a way to force him to hand over the huge treasure of the previous dynasty!"
The emperor always uses that useless guy who can't even walk, but always suppresses his own son.
Xiao Lichen's existence has seriously blocked his way forward, and this person cannot be allowed to stay!
In this case, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"Yes, I will send our message right away and ask them to act accordingly in the court!"
On the official road back to Beijing.
Jiang Jingzhen and Sun Liyun sat on an ox cart given to them by Xiao Chengyan.
"I thought we could ride in the same carriage back to the capital with His Royal Highness Prince Xin, but I didn't expect that he would leave early because of something important."
Jiang Jingzhen looked at the ox cart they were riding in with disdain and complained angrily.
"Perhaps His Royal Highness Prince Xin is angry because we didn't help him."
Sun Liyun patted Jiang Jingzhen's hand to comfort her.
"It's all my sister's fault for being so stingy. It's just a travelogue, but she couldn't bear to part with it. It made us embarrassed in front of His Royal Highness Prince Xin."
Sun Liyun hid the expression in her eyes and whispered, "I think His Royal Highness Prince Xin still has some feelings for you. When you return to the capital, it would be good to spend more time with him."
Jiang Jingzhen nodded, indicating that she felt the same way.
At this moment, a carriage that looked very exquisite in their eyes quickly passed them and ran towards the city gate.
They recognized that this was the carriage from the General Guarding the Country's Mansion.
Jiang Jingzhen and Sun Liyun both looked unhappy.
"Your sister is so petty. She's been fawning over Princess Anle, and she's afraid that Princess Anle will become friends with you, so she's trying her best to distance herself from you. If I were to ask her, if she wanted to do you good, she wouldn't even bother saying a few nice words to Princess Anle!"
"She must have been sitting in the same carriage we were in. When she saw us in the ox cart, she didn't even bother to stop and give us a ride. This shows how cold and heartless she is."
After hearing what she said, Jiang Jingzhen also felt that her sister Jiang Siyan was narrow-minded and petty, and was afraid that she would live a better life than her.
"Hmph, when I get home, I'll tell my parents that Jiang Siyan is a traitor and colluded with outsiders to bully me, causing me to lose the trust of His Royal Highness Prince Xin!"
When her parents find out, they will definitely stand on her side and help her teach her self-righteous sister a lesson.
A smug look flashed in Sun Liyun's eyes.
Humph, so what if Jiang Siyan can attract the attention of His Royal Highness Prince Xin? As long as she handles things properly, she will definitely win the favor of His Royal Highness Prince Xin.
As Tao Yuwei's carriage arrived outside the south gate of Beijing and she was waiting in line to enter the city, she heard the coachman happily reporting the good news to her.
"Miss, I see Guard Zhang Hu standing in front of us."
Hearing this.
Tao Yuwei happily lifted the car curtain, stuck her head out and looked forward.
I saw Zhang Hu and four other people riding on horses, surrounding a simple carriage.
"It seems that Zhang Hu and his men have found my elder brother. Stop the car. This princess and elder brother will ride in the same carriage."
Tao Yuwei didn't let the two maids follow her. She jumped onto the carriage nimbly and ran to the carriage protected by Zhang Hu and others.
"Zhang Hu, did you find my elder brother?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Hu pulled the reins in his hand. After seeing Tao Yuwei, a smile appeared on his dark face, revealing a row of big white teeth.
"Princess, why are you here? Are you here to greet the eldest young master?"
Tao Yuwei smiled and nodded, "Of course!"
"Thank you for your hard work. When we get back home, I'll ask Dad to reward you generously!"
Without waiting for Zhang Hu to answer, she lifted the curtain and climbed into her elder brother Tao Zipeng's carriage.
Seeing her figure disappear behind the curtain of the carriage, Zhang Hu opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say.
Forget it, their young lady has already entered the carriage, and she will know what the eldest master is like at a glance.
Tao Yuwei, who had entered the carriage, was staring at the two people in the carriage, and neither of them started talking.
Looking at the beautiful woman in a light green dress sitting next to her elder brother Tao Zipeng, she was angry.
That's right, I was angry.
What bad luck has befallen the General's Mansion? The woman who was supposed to return to the capital with my eldest cousin is now entangled with my eldest brother and wants to follow him to the capital.
Tao Yuwei's thoughts came clearly into Tao Zipeng's mind.
He widened his eyes in shock.
His sister, who was lawless and notoriously arrogant in the capital, had not spoken a word just now, but he heard her voice.
Could it be that he was hallucinating just now?
