Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 165 Courtyard Meeting

"Decide to let them work for you." Chu Xingchen answered the question irrelevantly.

"Well, I'm afraid there will be more dangerous times in the future, so it's always good to work together." Xin Baoer said seriously.

Night falls in the courtyard.

After a sumptuous dinner, everyone sat in the reception room.

"After today, the food and material supply in our courtyard will definitely decrease, and your travel will most likely be restricted again," Chu Xingchen said, and then he glanced at the people sitting there. Seeing that everyone's expression did not change significantly, he continued, "There will be more eyes monitoring here, and more frequently, so everyone needs to be more cautious in the future."

"How could it be? Ah Chen, you are probably exaggerating. It's just the death of two lowly concubines. His Majesty has countless women around him. Losing one today and abandoning one tomorrow should be a common thing. Why make a big fuss over it?"

Xiang Qing, who was sitting alone behind the crowd, pulled the corners of her mouth into a mocking smile. While speaking, her eyes were staring at Xin Baoer intentionally or unintentionally, as if the lowly concubine in these words was her, Xin Baoer.

Xin Baoer certainly understood what he said. She raised her eyelids and thought boredly, "How much do I hope it's her who dies!"

Chu Xingchen's face immediately darkened, his unhappy expression was very obvious. Chu Duanhong was also troubled by his increasingly confused mother, but at this time, he could only bite the bullet and wink at his self-satisfied mother, signaling her to be quiet.

Xiang Qing felt jealous and resentful when she saw her son helping outsiders, but due to the situation, she reluctantly kept her mouth shut.

However, Chu Xingchen did not intend to let her go easily. He had to take this opportunity today to make this woman face reality and understand their current situation. Otherwise, with her small brain capacity, she might cause him some trouble.

He stared at Xiang Qing with fierce eyes, and his voice was full of obvious oppression, almost speaking word by word.

"Do you know what the lowly concubine you are talking about is?"

Chu Xingchen rarely spoke like this, but it really stunned everyone in the room.

Xiang Qing opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she saw her son's warning look, she finally closed her mouth reluctantly.

"They are the eyes and ears that the old emperor planted through the hands of the Crown Princess. If you hadn't discovered their identities in advance, do you think you could still sit here unscathed and sneer at the people who keep you well fed and clothed."

Xin Baoer suddenly raised her head and met Chu Xingchen's gaze, her eyes wide open, but a thousand grass mud horses were galloping through her heart, "Brother, you really know how to draw hatred to me!"

Chu Xingchen met her resentful gaze, the gentle smile in his eyes flashed away, and then he continued to speak coldly.

"They have been here for more than three months. They broke into my study more than ten times and stole seven pieces of important intelligence. The old emperor used this intelligence to destroy dozens of bandit strongholds. Of course, the intelligence they were able to take away was all arranged by us in advance."

"If we hadn't made arrangements, then our power outside would be reduced to one tenth of what it was, and we would have become lambs in the sheepfold to be slaughtered."

Wang Chuan stood up and walked to Chu Xingchen, continuing what Chu Xingchen said: "In fact, this search did not originally include us. After all, the old emperor always thought that we were under his control. It was the two young ladies Xu and Zheng who discovered through clues that we might have a secret room or a secret passage here."

When Wangchuan said this, everyone still had something they didn't understand, so they said that there were signs that the furniture in various places in the room had been moved, and it didn't look like they were just looking for someone.

Wangchuan saw everyone's expressions of sudden enlightenment and knew that his mission was accomplished. After saluting Chu Xingchen, he went out to guard the place.

Seeing this, Xin Baoer immediately sat up straight, thinking that the next part was the focus of today. However, after waiting for two minutes, the man sitting in the main seat still had no intention of speaking.

I couldn't help but look up at the man, and saw that the man who was on edge just now was now relaxing and leaning back in the chair, with even a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Second Master, don't you have something to say?" Seeing that the man didn't even look at her, she could only ask.

"I don't have any more. Don't you have something to say?" Chu Xingchen said to Xin Baoer innocently.

Xin Baoer was dumbfounded. How did it become her own business?

The sisters were all staring at her. Xin Baoer glared at the man who was watching the show with a fake smile, secretly gathered her strength, suppressed the Chinese quintessence that was about to come to her lips, and said in a low voice, "Wait."

I have secretly decided in my heart, "Let Dongxia throw his luggage out later." Anyway, the search is over, so what happens?

But the venue has been set up and the stage has been built. There probably won't be such a peaceful opportunity in the future. Xin Baoer closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she spoke with a smile.

"While the old emperor hasn't responded yet, let's hold a meeting!"

"As a concubine, how can I have the nerve to lecture my masters like us? I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Before Xin Baoer finished speaking, Xiang Qing suddenly stood up and spoke to Xin Baoer in a bad tone.

"Sit..." Chu Xingchen had just uttered a syllable when he was stopped by Xin Baoer.

"Madam, you really don't need to listen. After all, with your IQ, you probably don't have the ability to make mistakes. Bijun, send your master back. Don't go out unless necessary. After all, the higher your status, the greater the danger." Xin Baoer straightened her back, looked directly at Xiang Qing and said calmly.

"You..." Xiang Qing was furious and was about to curse.

"Madam, I will take you back." Bijun quickly grabbed Xiang Qing's arm and half-dragged and half-pulled her away.

"Okay, all the irrelevant people have left. Everyone here is our friend. I'll just say what I want to say."

Xin Baoer cleared her throat and said, "We have lived together for such a long time. I have never deliberately guarded against you in what I usually do. I think you have guessed it in your heart, but it is not clear. I will take this opportunity to tell you the truth. After all, we will share the joys and sorrows for a long time in the future."

"Young lady, don't worry. I will not let you suffer even if it costs my life." After Xin Baoer finished speaking, Lancao couldn't wait to express her opinion.

Xin Baoer smiled brightly at her, turned back to look at everyone and continued, "The world is in such a difficult situation now, the people are living in dire straits, the one above is doing nothing, the powerful below are only concerned with fighting for power, no one cares about their lives, and we still have the energy to spare, so we can always do something within our capacity."

As Xin Baoer spoke, she turned around to look at Chu Xingchen who was calm and composed, smiled provocatively, and continued.

"In fact, we have no choice. Since we came here, we have been labeled as the remnants of the Chu family. If we want to live gloriously, we have to overthrow the rule of Ning the thief and assist the Second Master in establishing a new regime. Otherwise, even if we let you go, you can only hide your identities and live a precarious life."

"Whether what I said is alarmist or not, I believe you can tell for yourself. Of course, Second Master and I will not force you to do anything. As long as you promise to be loyal to us and not do anything that harms others and does not benefit yourself, that's all."

Xin Baoer's voice gradually became serious, with hints of threats and warnings.

"Don't worry, girl. Mother Lin and I will listen to you in everything." Lancao responded loudly once again, as if she was afraid of falling behind and failing to prove her loyalty.

Mother Lin smiled kindly at the side. She had no other concerns in her life. Xin Baoer was the only person who had a relationship with her. As long as she was well, it didn't matter what happened to her.

The two old ladies, Mrs. Wang and Mother Niu, were half buried in the earth. It was only a matter of breathing to die sooner or later, so they didn't care and their expressions remained the same.

Zhao Xian was still digesting what Chu Xingchen and the online rumors had said. After all, she was the one who witnessed the whole process and knew that the deaths of the two women were not accidents. She was originally a little scared, but now that she knew the truth, she was shocked and scared, and was struggling with herself.

Seeing that she looked distracted, Xin Baoer didn't say much. This girl has always been a carefree person, and it didn't take long for her to figure things out.

Her eyes passed Dong Xia who was about to express her opinion. Dong Xia had changed her appearance and now had the face of Wei Yu. Although this was a secret known to everyone, Xin Baoer did not want others to know her origins, so she just smiled and nodded at her, indicating that she understood what she meant.
