After dinner, Shen Yijia pulled Song Jingchen back to her room. When she turned around and saw Xuanyuan Ce, she said angrily, “Why are you following
“If you have anything to say, you can tell me. No matter what, I’m the prince of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. I can help a lot.”
Xuanyuan Ce was extremely humble as he rushed to help.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Did something happen?”
However, thinking about what Xuanyuan Ce said, it made sense. She turned around and pulled Song Jingchen to the study.
Xuanyuan Ce followed silently.
After spending fifteen minutes, Shen Yijia repeated what she had heard in the afternoon, including how she saw MO Yu enter the posthouse in the end.
Now, the envoy of the Wu Kingdom lived in the posthouse.
Song Jingchen had already guessed where Ji Yunxi and the others had gone after leaving the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, so he wasn’t very surprised.
Through the conversation between Madam Yu and MO Yu, they could first confirm that the matter at the border was indeed Madam Yu’s doing.
MO Yu said that the Princess Consort has always liked to remove herself cleanly. After that, she pretended that nothing had happened.
This at least meant that they had worked together more than once.
“However, who is this Jiang person? Also, what did the Yu family do to prevent the Xuanyuan royal family from despising them?” Song Jingchen looked at Xuanyuan Ce and realized that his expression was very ugly.
“Your Highness?” Song Jingchen called out to him.
Xuanyuan Ce closed his eyes and laughed at himself. “Actually, I never thought of marrying Madam Yu back then.”
Back then, the government was controlled by the aristocratic families. The Xuanyuan family was angry but did not dare to say anything. As a prince, he was not even as good as the young masters of the aristocratic families.
It was not until Xuanyuan Qi used the harem to sow discord between the aristocratic families that the two brothers had a chance to catch their breath.
When he met Ji Luo, he was injured because he had found out that the Yu family had something on the Tang family.
That happened to be the anniversary of the late emperor’s death. He was sent to the imperial mausoleum a month in advance to urge those people to prepare the things needed for the sacrifice.
After receiving this news, he returned to Phoenix City overnight and secretly infiltrated the Yu family. Although he successfully obtained the booklet, he was seriously injured because of it.
In order to prevent the aristocratic families from suspecting him, he had to rush back to the imperial mausoleum immediately after sending the booklet into the palace.
It was also near the imperial mausoleum. He was knocked out and dragged away by Ji Luo. Fortunately, it did not delay his matters.
At this point, Xuanyuan Ce subconsciously smiled and continued, “Because of this evidence, the Tang family suffered heavy losses. The Tang family suspects that it was done by other families, and because of what happened in the harem, the families completely fell out.”
They even started to expose each other.
There were a total of six family clans. The Yu family was ranked fifth, but they were inferior. In comparison, the Wang family, who was ranked sixth, was already at the end of its rope.
At that time, the head of the Yu family actually had the intention to get close to the emperor, but he also did not trust the emperor. In addition, the arrogance of the aristocratic family made it impossible for him to lower his head.
Xuanyuan Qi saw through this and personally gave the Yu family a way out.
He wanted Xuanyuan Ce to marry the daughter of the Yu family.
Song Jingchen paused and glanced at the window beside the study. Sensing that Shen Yijia was also looking over, he squeezed her hand.
Shen Yijia pursed her lips and retracted her gaze. “You Yi told us all this.” You Yi’s eyelids twitched. He was so frightened that he almost fell from the beam.
Miss, you can’t betray your teammates like this, right?
Besides, he didn’t seem to have said anything about stealing evidence.
As for why You Yi did not say it, it was because the emperor was the most dangerous back then. As long as the emperor was alive, the aristocratic families would not attack His Highness, and there was no need to do so.
His Highness knew this and sent the three of them to protect the emperor. You Yi was not by His Highness’s side at that time, so he naturally did not know the reason..
