After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

A wave of waves has risen again.

Just after dealing with the assassins, the emperor learned that Xibao and his nephew Wang Min had fallen into the water.

The former was unconscious and the latter even drowned!

The emperor was furious.

The queen had just ordered her children to be brought back to the palace to be settled. When she came back, she heard the news, and her calm expression suddenly changed.

The emperor and empress looked at each other, leaving the frightened people in the palace and hurried over.

Lin Wushang followed closely behind.

Seeing Lin Xi lying there with wet hair and pale complexion, the emperor and empress were shocked and in pain, and ordered the imperial doctor to check her pulse.

Lin Wushang knew Lin Xi's strength and knew that she would never drown. He didn't need to think about it to know that she was just pretending.

But why would she do this?
He tentatively sent her a message: "Xibao?"

Lin Xi: "What?"

Hearing her lively voice, Lin Wushang breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is this going?"

Lin Xi said briefly.

Then he asked him: "What happened over there at the banquet? I heard something happened over there."

Lin Wushang: "An assassin assassinated the Emperor, Queen, and His Highness the Crown Prince."

He could clearly see that the assassins in black seemed to be aiming at the emperor, but in fact they were targeting the queen and the prince.

Fortunately, the Dragon Scale Guards escorted them in time, and the emperor, the prince, and the princess were all unscathed.

However, Concubine Cui, who was not involved in the assassination, came out to block the emperor's sword and was killed.

Lin Xi wondered in her mind, how could Concubine Cui, who had just shown her presence angrily in front of everyone, just die like this?

"This wave of assassins appears a little strange. Please help me find out what's going on."

The palace is so tightly guarded. There are imperial guards outside and dragon-scale guards inside. Anyone who enters the palace will be checked repeatedly.

Not even sharp hairpins can be brought in.

Only a martial arts master like her can come and go freely.

How did those assassins get in?

Lin Wushang: "Okay."

Lin Xi pretended to wake up and slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as he saw the queen, he threw himself into her arms and complained to her: "Aunt An, someone pushed me into the lake..."

The queen hugged her and felt very distressed, and couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't be afraid of Xibao, you are fine now. Tell Aunt An, who was the person who pushed you?"

Lin Xi: "I don't know. I was sitting by the lake throwing stones, and suddenly someone pushed me from behind, and I fell into the lake."

The queen glanced at the emperor. The clear meaning of this glance was to let him investigate thoroughly and find the murderer.

The emperor immediately went to do it.

Under the emperor's thunderous methods, things came to an end quickly.

But this result was something he was reluctant to believe.

"The person who pushed Xibao turned out to be... Min'er."

Queen: "Then why did he fall into the lake himself?"

Emperor: "Ming'er bribed a little palace maid and asked her to lure the maid away from Xibao. He took the opportunity to come behind Xibao and pushed her into the lake.

"But I didn't want to slip and fall into the lake. A passing eunuch happened to witness this scene."

Queen: "..."

Isn’t this Wang Min’s own fault?
But the man is already dead, so she can't say bad words to him anymore.

I am extremely lucky that Xi Bao was lucky enough to survive.

The emperor sighed, "My second brother asked me to take care of this child before he left. Unexpectedly, Min'er passed away not long after he left. How can I explain this to him?"

King Rui has been away from the fiefdom for quite some time and cannot stay any longer. There are too many things happening in the fiefdom at the end of the year and he has to rush back in time to deal with them.

However, Wang Min refused to leave and wanted to stay to find his mother and concubine.

King Rui couldn't resist him, so he had to keep him and asked his brother, who was the emperor, to take care of him.The emperor promised well.

As a result, the child was lost in the blink of an eye.

He didn't even know how to explain it to his second brother.

Queen: "Just tell the truth."

If Xibao's identity had not been announced, Wang Min would have dared to push Xibao into the water, and he would have been charged with murdering the emperor's heir.

Emperor: "That's all it can do."

A few days later, Lin Wushang came to Lin Xi and told her the results of his investigation.

"That wave of assassins was sent by the Cui family. They wanted to use the banquet to get rid of the Queen and His Highness the Crown Prince, and at the same time provide Cui Guifei with an opportunity to make a fake show of blocking his sword in front of the Emperor, so that she can become the Queen.

"The emperor had received the news in advance, so he took advantage of it and asked Concubine Cui to fake it, so as to take advantage of the Cui family.

"After this incident, the Cui family's influence in the court was removed by the emperor. Their vitality was severely damaged and they can no longer stand up."

All the aristocratic families in the world look up to the five first-class aristocratic families Cui, Lu, Zheng, Wang and Li.

The Li family and the Zheng family had already turned to the emperor before.

The Cui family and the Lu family were in conflict with the emperor, and now they are no longer the same.

There is only one Wang family left.

The Wang family, a Yipin family, and the Wang family, where Emperor Wang Guan was born, are not the same family.

But perhaps because they share the same surname as Wang, or perhaps because the Wang family has always behaved in a low-key and moderate manner, the Wang family's attitude has always been ambiguous and they have always remained neutral.

"Without the leadership of Cui and Lu, the family is no longer in danger." Lin Wushang concluded.

Lin Xi: "It's not enough to just knock down the aristocratic families. You have to give ordinary people a chance to rise up. Only in this way can the power of the aristocratic families be truly dismantled."

The two discussed it for a while, and before leaving, Lin Wushang said: "There are Rongdi invaders on the northwest border. I have asked the emperor for orders to go to the border to join the army. The shortest term can be one or two years, and the long term can be three to five years.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back for your birthday in early spring next year, so I'll give you a birthday gift in advance."

He handed over an exquisite wooden box.

Lin Xi: "Do you want to completely solve the problem of Rong Di?"

Otherwise it wouldn’t have taken that long.

Lin Wushang: "It seems I can't hide it from you. In my previous life, I went to the border to join the army at this time. I know the enemy's situation very well. It would be a pity if I don't make good use of it."

Lin Xi: "Many things have changed in this life, and the enemy's situation may not be the same as in the previous life."

Who knows what chain reactions the various changes in Dayong have triggered?
Lin Wushang: "I am also prepared for the enemy's situation to be completely different from the previous life. However, no matter how the enemy changes, their basic method of fighting will not change."

Lin Xi: "Then I wish you success and a triumphant return."

After Lin Wushang left, Lin Xi opened the wooden box.

It was covered with exquisite red cloth, and a delicate white jade hairpin lay quietly on it.

She held it in her hand and played with it. She was far from Dai Zanzi's age, and she didn't know why Lin Wushang gave her a hairpin.

She didn't think much and just put it into the space.

Half a month later, Lin Xi received a letter from Lin Wushang.

The letter said that he had arrived and introduced her to the customs and customs of the border.

It made Lin Xi want to go over and take a look.

Well, it's not impossible. The winter vacation will be in two months. It would be nice to go there for a trip then.

Along with the letter came a package containing specialties from Mozhou.

Beef jerky, animal skins, turquoise bracelets, beef bone knives...

Mozhou is a state area on the northwest border, and beyond is Fenglang Pass. It is a very bitter and cold place, and it is very cold for most of the year.

Of course, this bitter cold is in the eyes of people of this era.

In Lin Xi's eyes, Mozhou is a land of treasures. The ground is "barren", but the underground contains many treasures.

Lin Xi returned the favor—

An extremely detailed topographic map of the border.

I believe Lin Wushang will make good use of this map. (End of chapter)
