Chapter 171: Prestige Spreads

The second prince was secluded in the mansion for many days, and the imperial history order participated in several books for him one after another.

As the things he did were revealed little by little, the position of the second prince in the court was in jeopardy.

On that day, the important ministers who privately took refuge in him, but all those who were tainted with lawlessness were all liquidated by the emperor.

For a while, there was a rumor in the imperial city, and the other ministers of the court were trembling, for fear that they would be implicated in this incident.

The second prince, who was once beautiful, has now become an existence that everyone avoids.

The ministers of the court all wanted to draw a line with him, for fear of being affected by him.

The Xiao family is at the center of this storm, and it is not so easy to get out of it......

After Helian Yu learned of this, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a while, although Xiao Yifeng took refuge in the second prince, but he led the troops to the expedition that year, repelled the enemy troops who invaded the imperial court, and protected the safety of the people and the imperial court.

He is brave and good at fighting, and his reputation is far and wide, and the borders of the imperial court can be stabilized, and Xiao Yifeng has made great contributions.

He Lianyu didn't expect that the Xiao family would suffer such a blow now because they were on the wrong team.

Although he didn't know what Xiao Hanyin's relationship was with the Xiao family, this time he went to the imperial city, and he was likely to fall into the net.

He was a little hesitant whether to tell Liu Qingshao the news.

Helian Yu was worried that after Liu Qingshao found out, he would rush to the imperial city without hesitation.

After all, she and Xiao Hanyin have been together for so long, and their relationship is very deep.

Liu Qingshao is a very affectionate woman, even if she and Xiao Hanyin are not an unmarried couple, with her personality, she will never let him go.

The situation in the imperial city is becoming more and more chaotic day by day, and Helian Yu just wanted to tell Liu Qingshao about it, but he received a letter from his father.

He Lianyu originally wanted to take advantage of Xiao Hanyin's absence to accompany Liu Qingshao well, but his father's letter disrupted his plan.

Between the family and the woman he liked, Helian Yu hesitated.

As the young master of the family, he has the responsibility to go back to preside over the overall situation, but for Liu Qingshao, he doesn't want to let go, because Helian Yu knows very well that once the opportunity is missed, there will be no second time......

So, Helian Yu decided to go back and go to Liu Qingshao again.

"Miss Liu, there are a lot of affairs at home, and I will return to the imperial city in a few days, do you want to come with me?" Although Xiao Hanyin was also in the imperial city, if Liu Qingshao walked with him, they would be able to get along day and night on the way.

Not only that, but now that the Xiao family itself is difficult to protect, Xiao Hanyin's situation will not be much better.

After Liu Qingshao went to the imperial city, the chances for them to meet would also increase.

Helian Yu privately still hoped that she could go with him.

"Thank you, Son-in-law, but I haven't thought about it yet, I hope you have a smooth journey!" Liu Qingshao refused.

Even if she was going to the Imperial City, she would go there alone with her own people.

Helian Yu's thoughts, she understood everything, knowing that it was impossible, Liu Qingshao naturally wouldn't have too much to do with him.

If it can be avoided, Liu Qingshao will definitely not hesitate to have no contact with him again.

However, they have always cooperated, and it is impossible to turn Helian Yu away......

"Are you not going to the Imperial City?" After Helian Yu heard her reply, although he was a little disappointed, he chose to respect her.

After all, the situation in the imperial city was chaotic, and it was the best choice for Liu Qingshao to stay here.

"I really don't plan to go over right now!" Liu Qingshao said against her heart.

In fact, she was going to leave in two days, but she planned to hide it from Helian Yu.

"I'll go back to the Imperial City to deal with business matters first, and when the situation stabilizes, I'll come back to you, you are alone, be careful in everything!" Helian Yu's eyes were deep.

Liu Qingshao responded perfunctorily.

Afterwards, Helian Yu went back to pack his bags and took people back to the imperial city.

Liu Qingshao also arranged the manpower and set off the day after Helian Yu left.

Xiao Hanyin went to the imperial city alone, the situation there was so grim that even Helian Yu couldn't wait to go back, how could Liu Qingshao still sit still.

She was afraid that Xiao Hanyin would be involved in the affairs of the Xiao family, so she wanted to see him soon......

After Liu Qingshao hit the road, she has been on the road, not daring to delay in the slightest!

On the other side, after Xiao Hanyin went back, he did not rush into the imperial city, but found a place to settle outside the city.

The Xiao family is now suspicious of the emperor, and everyone is grounded in the mansion.

At the beginning, he faked his death and left, but now if he appears, I am afraid that it will make the Xiao family, which is already on the cusp, in a more difficult situation.

He planned to listen to the news first, and then look for an opportunity to help the Xiao family get rid of the crime.

There are so many people in the Xiao family, although they didn't do what Xiao Yifeng did back then, it is true that he can't let go of it.

However, when he chose to assist the second prince, he did not do anything to endanger the court and the crown prince.

At the beginning, Xiao Yifeng just asked him to keep an eye on the prince and report the prince's actions to him.

During this period, he did not frame the crown prince, so when the emperor liquidated the second prince and his henchmen, the Xiao family saved their lives.

However, the second prince fell, and Xiao Yifeng, as his confidant, naturally couldn't please him.

Although the emperor did not deal with it directly, he also had suspicions about Xiao Yifeng.

He is the ruler of the imperial court, and if he wants to bring about the destruction of the Xiao family, it is just a matter of one sentence.

Two days later, after Xiao Hanyin disguised himself, he infiltrated the imperial city to inquire about the news of the Xiao family.

Xiao Yifeng used to have great achievements, although he is not guarding the frontier now, but the emperor sees that the Xiao family has made great contributions to the court, except for grounding several men of the Xiao family in official positions in the court, there is no other action.

However, Xiao Yifeng's military power in his hands is afraid that he will not be able to keep it. 52

After many inquiries, Xiao Hanyin finally got some secret news.

The emperor has always been afraid of Xiao Yifeng's courage and good fighting, and he holds military power.

The importance of military power, the emperor knows too well in his heart.

Therefore, he wanted to take the opportunity to take back the Xiao family's military power.

If the Xiao family loses its military power, it will only be an empty shell.

A general who has no military power has nothing but a good name.

Xiao Yifeng has been strong for most of his life, how could he be willing to hand over the military power.

After all, the Xiao family has no military power granted by the emperor, and the entire family is afraid that it will completely decline.

The Xiao family has been a military general for generations, born and died for the court and the people, but in the end, they ended up with such a fate, Xiao Hanyin felt that he couldn't accept it, let alone his father.

Xiao Yifeng is the head of the Xiao family, if the Xiao family declines in his hands, he is afraid that he will feel guilty for the rest of his life......

So, Xiao Hanyin planned to find a time to sneak into Xiao's house to visit them before making a decision.

Since he left the imperial city, he has deliberately avoided the news here, so Xiao Hanyin doesn't know what the second prince has done to make the emperor so angry, and even implicate so many people.

However, now that the Xiao family is guarded inside and out, Xiao Hanyin left for the time being in order not to startle the snake.

Xiao Yifeng secretly supported the second prince and wanted to pull the prince off the horse and help the second prince ascend the throne.

This move was originally unwise, and in order to compete for the position of the prince, the second prince used frequent means.

Xiao Hanyin didn't know how much Xiao Yifeng was involved in these things.

However, his actions were unwise from the beginning, and Xiao Hanyin also persuaded him to follow the crown prince back then.

After all, the crown prince is not only the emperor's concubine, but also kind-hearted, and will definitely be a good emperor.

However, Xiao Yifeng felt that he was cowardly and indecisive, and he was overwhelmed.

The lord of the world must be decisive and wise, Xiao Yifeng believes that the temperament of the second prince is more similar to the emperor, and he is suitable to be the next monarch.

For this reason, Xiao Yifeng also forced Xiao Hanyin to secretly monitor the prince, stand on the side of the second prince, and assist the second prince with him.

However, Xiao Hanyin refused.

He and the crown prince are like brothers and sisters, eat and live together, and they have long recognized him as the next emperor.

Xiao Yifeng's approach made him feel cold, so under his persecution, Xiao Hanyin had no choice but to fake his death and escape.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, Xiao Hanyin was still young at that time, and he couldn't make a choice, so he subconsciously chose to escape.

Now, Xiao Yifeng has paid the price for his stubbornness.

However, everyone in the Xiao family was innocent, so Xiao Hanyin finally came back......

At night, Xiao Hanyin took advantage of the dark night and high wind to sneak into Xiao's mansion.

The once glorious and prosperous family has become very deserted because it offended the emperor.

However, there are still many people guarding the courtyard.

In order to avoid them, Xiao Hanyin hid in the rockery.

He has been away for so long, and the pattern of the family has changed a lot.

Xiao Hanyin didn't even know if Xiao Yifeng still lived in the original courtyard.

So, he could only look for it secretly, hoping to find where Xiao Yifeng lived soon.

At this time, a dark shadow suddenly came out of the darkness.

Xiao Hanyin's eyes lit up, and he immediately fought with the other party.

He thought his whereabouts had been discovered, so he wanted to dispose of the man immediately.

Xiao Hanyin didn't want others to know about his sneaking into the Xiao Mansion, otherwise those people would definitely spare no effort to arrest him.

If he is also grounded, then no one will be able to run for the Xiao family.

Although the prince has a good relationship with him, he has no feelings for the rest of the Xiao family.

After all, Xiao Yifeng has always been against him for the sake of the second prince, and even wants him to lose the crown prince.

For a person who has been against him everywhere, how could the prince come to the rescue.

Therefore, after Xiao Hanyin came back, he did not go directly to the prince.

In fact, he knew that if he spoke in person, with the prince's temperament, he would definitely help.

However, he didn't have the face to plead with the prince, after all, Xiao Yifeng has always been at odds with the prince......

After Xiao Hanyin made a few moves with the man, he suddenly found that the other party's figure was very familiar.

"Big brother!" Xiao Hanyin called the other party tentatively.

The other party immediately stopped attacking, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then, he immediately pulled Xiao Hanyin into his room.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Hanchen pulled down the black towel on his face and said.

"My father sent me a message saying that something had happened to the Xiao family, so I went back to the imperial city!" Xiao Han told him the truth.

"This time, our Xiao family is afraid that we won't be able to get out completely, so you better leave quickly!" Xiao Hanchen didn't expect his father, since he already knew about Xiao Hanyin's fake death.

"The Xiao family is behind bars, how can I not care?" If he could, Xiao Hanyin didn't want to deal with Xiao Yifeng.

However, the Xiao family was not at fault at all.
