The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 358

In the blink of an eye, it was February, the Northwest War was over, the empress and her husband drove back to the imperial capital, and they arrived in three days.

The young empress and emperor's husband regained the land that had been occupied by Beiqi for many years in one fell swoop, and brought most of Beiqi into the territory of Daxing. This feat is amazing.

The story about how the empress and the emperor's husband were concentric and broke through all kinds of calculations in Beiqi has been turned into several versions of the story, which are widely circulated among the people.

And when dusk fell on this day, an unremarkable carriage hurried past the city gate.At this time, there were few pedestrians on the street, and most of them had already returned home.

The carriage crossed the streets and alleys, and stopped in front of the Jiang Mansion.

The concierge had already been instructed to lead the carriage into the gate, and Jiang Qixi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and his family were waiting at the second gate early.

When seeing two figures, one green and one red, coming down from the car, Mrs. Jiang Yu's eyes immediately moistened, even Jiang Qixi, who was always serious, also showed a little emotion.

When Jiang Xu, the eldest son of Jiang, saw the two of them, he was about to kneel down immediately, but Jiang Ye who was beside him grabbed his arm in time and shook his head at him.

Those who got out of the car were Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao, who were supposed to be on their way back to the imperial capital. Both of them changed into simple robes at this moment, and came back early in a hurry, just to get to Jiang's mansion earlier. So that Jiang Nian can spend more time with his family.

"Father, mother, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, third younger brother." Jiang Nian was so excited to see his long-lost relative, and of course, he would not forget to hold Ning Yuezhao's hand tightly.

Seeing Jiang's family, Ning Yuezhao still felt a little uneasy. For a while, she lost her usual prestige, and greeted everyone with a little discomfort.

Jiang Qixi knew about Jiang Nian's disappearance when he fell into an underground river at the beginning, so his wife was worried, so he kept it a secret. Yuezhao reported to his family, so the Jiang family didn't know anything about it.

"Brother Nian!" Mrs. Jiang Yushi couldn't wait to step down the stone steps, walked up to Jiang Nian and looked at it carefully, and said distressedly, "You have lost weight, and your complexion is so bad!"

Hearing Yu Shi's worried words, Ning Yuezhao felt guilty again.

Jiang Nian said nonchalantly: "Mother is worrying too much, everything is fine with the baby."

Seeing that he was still holding Ning Yuezhao's hand tightly, Yu Shi secretly sighed, "Ah Zhao has also lost weight, you have been away for more than half a year this trip, you are all tired."

She knew that the woman in front of her was not only the king of a country, but also the person on the cusp of her son's heart.The husband and wife are both people of extraordinary status, and they are destined not to live an ordinary life like ordinary couples. As a mother, she can only try to care more about this extraordinary daughter-in-law, so that her son can rest assured.

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Shi said this, Jiang Nian looked sideways at Ning Yuezhao, with smiles on his eyes and brows.

Faced with Shi's sudden concern, Ning Yuezhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you mother for your concern, I'm fine."

As Jiang Nian said, she is not alone, he and his family are her relatives.

Jiang Qixi was very excited when he saw his beloved son come back after all the hardships, but he was used to being calm and steady, so he had to say seriously: "Okay, let's go in and talk if we have something to say!"

After entering the mansion, Mrs. Yu went to arrange the reception banquet in person, while Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao came to Jiang Qixi's study.

Skipping the fact that he was lowered to the top, Jiang Nian gave a brief account of the Northwest matter, and then presented evidence of Xu Zhi's collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country.

Jiang Qixi saw that although his son's complexion was a little pale, he was in good spirits, and his uneasy heart was finally relieved, "Xu Zhi has been quite peaceful for a while, and he clicks on time every day without seeing any abnormalities. I don’t even know the news of his daughter’s death.”

Jiang Nian frowned slightly, "Anomaly is a monster, I'm afraid he is planning some bad idea again, just in case, I ask my father to quickly discuss with the Taifu and uproot this person's influence in the court!"

Jiang Qixi stroked his beard, nodded and said: "Father and Brother Yan have cut off many of his minions in the Sixth Department of the Cabinet during this period of time. Tomorrow, these letters between him and Beiqi will be presented to Dali Temple !"

There was a sneer on Jiang Nian's lips, "It's not enough!"

?That night, Zuo Mingmi, the commander of the imperial army, went to Jiang's mansion.

In the Tingyu Building, Zuo Ming presented the records of all the money transactions between Xu Zhi and his party members in the imperial capital and the banks in neighboring states that he had collected in the imperial capital for more than half a year. A lot of the money flowed in through underground banks.

Now the Forbidden Army has controlled these banks, preventing Xu Zhi from withdrawing money and escaping in a short time.

"Xu Zhi, a villain, actually made a fortune by collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country!"

Ning Yuezhao looked at these shocking numbers, her teeth itched with anger.

She already knew about Xu Zhi's collusion with the enemy when she was trapped in the enemy camp, but she did not expect that some soldiers would go through life and death on the front line, and some people would take the opportunity to make a fortune for the country, not to mention what Xu Miaoyun did to her. Really hateful!
Jiang Qingnian caressed her shoulder, his eyes flashed with determination, "Don't ruin your body because of such pettiness."

Looking at Jiang Nian's gentle and jade-like face, Ning Yuezhao's anger subsided slightly.

At this time, in the secret room of the Xu Mansion, Xu Zhi looked at the tablet in front of him with red eyes - "The Spirit Tablet of My Daughter Xu Miaoyun".

Mrs. Xu on the side kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief, crying until her heart broke, "Master, our daughter died so badly, let alone die in a foreign land, and even don't know where to collect the body, you must avenge her !"

Xu Zhi sneered, "Now there are spies from the Jiang family outside Xu's mansion, watching our every move. I can't withdraw all the money in the bank."

Mrs. Xu was shocked, she shed more tears, "Then what should I do? Is the Xu family going to die?"

Xu Zhi glanced at his wife, clapped his hands, and then a slim figure walked out from the darkness.

When Mrs. Xu saw the person's face clearly, her eyeballs were about to pop out of shock, and she even forgot to scream...

The next day, Jiang Qixi was about to take a carriage to Dali Temple, but when the carriage passed through the downtown area, it was blocked by the crowd.

The driver reported the situation to Jiang Qixi, Jiang Qixi lifted the curtain and looked at the crowded crowd, frowned and said, "Can you go another way?"

For some reason, he always felt that something was going to happen.

At this moment, there was a loud exclamation from the crowd——

"Presumptuous, you dare to belittle me in broad daylight. I am the daughter of Xu Zhi, the second assistant of the cabinet, and a female official of the Imperial Academy personally appointed by the Holy Majesty!"

Jiang Qixi's heart skipped a beat, he stood on the shaft of the car, looked from a distance, he could see a young woman surrounded by a few hooligans, her clothes were ragged, and her face was stained. There were a lot of smudges, but it couldn't hide the clearness between his brows.

Naturally, he had seen Xu Miaoyun before, and immediately recognized this face that was quite similar to Xu Zhi.

But wasn't Xu Miaoyun already regarded as Ning Yuezhao by the Beiqi people, and burned to death in the Beiqi camp?

"Oh, this is the eldest lady of the Xu family? How did the world's most talented woman become like this?"

The woman's words stirred up a thousand waves in the crowd like a stone, and everyone talked about it.

"Isn't Miss Xu's family honored to be included in the list of His Majesty's west tour? Should I be on the way back to the imperial capital with His Majesty right now?"

Those ruffians were initially intimidated by the woman's words, but after hearing the crowd's discussion, they became more courageous, "Don't piss and take care of yourself, even a beggar dares to pretend to be the daughter of a cabinet minister, so I'd better serve you well A few, maybe Master Xu is happy, and I will reward you with more money!"

"Yep!"

The hooligans laughed and pulled the woman again. Although there were many people watching, no one stood out for a while.

Jiang Qixi calmed down, and quickly commanded his men, "Quick, go and bring that woman over!"

However, there were too many people watching, and all of Jiang Qixi's subordinates couldn't get close to the woman.

But at this moment, a few servant guards who appeared from nowhere savagely pushed aside the crowd and separated the ruffians from the women.

The leader of this group of guards is Xu He, the chief housekeeper of the Xu Mansion.He looked at the woman for a while, and exclaimed: "Miss, how did you become like this?"

Hearing this well-dressed man who looked like a butler address this woman as "Miss", those local ruffians were also dumbfounded, and the surrounding people also showed strange expressions.

"Ah, it's really Miss Xu's family?"

"Why did she appear here? Your Majesty hasn't returned to the imperial capital yet!"

At this time, another carriage came from the opposite direction of Jiang Qixi, because the guards of Xu Mansion had separated the crowd, this carriage arrived in front of Xu He unimpeded.

Before the car curtain was lifted, Xu Zhi's angry voice came from the car, "Who is pretending to be the old man's daughter? I really don't know what to say!"

Xu He hurried to the side of the car, opened the curtain, and said, "Master, you are really a young lady!"

Xu Zhi got off the carriage and looked at the young woman in disbelief, "Yun'er?"

The woman had already stumbled towards Xu Zhi, grabbed his sleeve robe, and cried, "Father, my daughter never expected to see you alive!"

"Yun'er, how did you make this field, aren't you with His Majesty?" Xu Zhi raised his hand, and wiped the stains on "Xu Miaoyun" face with the sleeve of his official robe.

"Father, my daughter almost won't be able to see you alive!" Xu Miaoyun cried more fiercely, and she complained, "The reason why my daughter is reduced to the present situation is because I know the secret of His Majesty, she wants to kill her to silence her!" , I escaped with great difficulty, I didn't expect to meet these hooligans before I reached the door of the house!"

Now the common people are not interested in the matter of Xu Miaoyun being molested, and all the focus is on the secret of the empress.

You must know that this time the female emperor's west tour was originally just to inspect the border, but she accidentally regained the territory that had been occupied by Beiqi for many years, and even incorporated Beiqi into the territory of Daxing in one fell swoop, which was a shame for many years.Those negative rumors about the empress before have been forgotten by people, and now the people's support for the empress and the emperor's husband has reached the extreme.But at this moment, the daughter of the cabinet secretary who was traveling westward with the empress suddenly appeared on the streets of the imperial capital, claiming to have mastered the secrets of the empress. .

Jiang Qixi made a decisive decision and asked people to separate the crowd. He strode up to Xu Zhi's father and daughter, "Brother Xu, there are a lot of people on the street, and Miss Xu looks like this. It's better to take her home to tidy up first."

Seeing Jiang Qixi appearing, Xu Zhi was surprised at first, but before he could open his mouth, Xu Miaoyun sneered and said, "Who doesn't know that Jiang Ge's second son is the husband of the current empress? Are you afraid that I will reveal your majesty's secret?" ?”

After saying that, she hid behind Xu Zhi, and said sharply: "Father, he is definitely going to silence me!"

Xu Miaoyun was already in a state of embarrassment and looked like a weak person. Jiang Qixi, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, had a lot of prestige. In comparison, he seemed a bit domineering, and the people were a little dissatisfied.

The Xu family's guards were immediately separated between Jiang Qixi and Xu Zhi, and the situation seemed to be getting out of control.

Xu Zhi comforted his daughter, and said, "Don't be afraid, with Dad here, there are still so many people here, whoever dares to harm you, I will not let him go even if I risk my life!"

Someone in the crowd immediately echoed: "There is nothing that cannot be said to others. If His Majesty acts openly and aboveboard, why be afraid of others' words!"

"That's right, Miss Xu should say everything here!"

Jiang Qixi was helpless, and immediately winked at his subordinates, wanting him to report a letter to Jiang Nian in the mansion, but the onlookers had already surrounded them three floors inside and three floors outside, and there were still people with ulterior motives fishing in troubled waters Among them, the people from the Jiang family had no way to squeeze out.

At this time, Xu Miaoyun said: "For so many years, Daxing has always been at a disadvantage. Do you know why His Majesty was able to overcome Beiqi?"

Why?This is the question in everyone's mind.

Xu Miaoyun suddenly laughed a little madly, "It's because we have a good majesty who can overwhelm the country and the city! He was already a captive of Beiqi, but with his extraordinary beauty, he raped the emperor of Beiqi Yi Chu, made him dizzy, and even wanted to make our majesty the queen! Hahahaha..."
