my wife is wonderful

Chapter 298 Getting Along (Part )

"So Prince Ping and the Xie family teamed up to kidnap Yan Jie'er and me because you and General Zhu discovered something, and they wanted to use us to intimidate you?"

Geng Xingshuang was sorting out the clues in his mind.

Yang Qingmo nodded, "Prince Shen was plotting a rebellion, and Prince Ping had already noticed it. He kept his troops in place, hoping that the fisherman would benefit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam. However, he did not expect that Qin Cheng, an inconspicuous commander of the Ningdu Guard, not only discovered the abnormality quickly, but also gathered his subordinates, hid among the rebels, and rushed out to rescue the emperor at the critical moment.

He also didn't expect that although the emperor loved his son, he didn't trust all the princes. Although he was not so sure about the fact that Prince Shen was recruiting troops and intending to usurp the throne, he did make some arrangements. Therefore, as long as Prince Shen's troops moved, the result would not develop as Prince Ping expected, and both sides would suffer losses. Prince Shen might even succeed in killing the emperor and his father. He thought that he was avenging his father, eliminating the traitors and traitors, and then taking back the throne."

"Then... wouldn't King Ping hate that Lord Qin to death?"

Yang Qingmo was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted, "Shuang'er knows Qin Cheng?"

Geng Xingshuang shook her head. "I don't know him, but I heard from my second brother that his superiors think highly of him."

Yang Qingmo nodded, "Oh, so that's it!"

How should I describe that tone? It gave me a feeling of sudden relief as if “I just heard someone mention it before, it’s okay now.”

Geng Xingshuang thought that maybe she was thinking too much. The other person had no other intentions at all and was just asking casually. However, her mouth was faster than her brain, so she asked casually, "Brother Yang Liu cares about that Lord Qin?"

Yang Qingmo paused, then shook his head, "Although I know Qin Cheng, I am not familiar with him. It's just that what I said before contained a lot of content, but Shuang'er was the first to worry whether Qin Cheng would be hated by King Ping, so I...what I care about in my heart is whether Shuang'er cares about Qin Cheng, not whether I care about him myself."

Now it was Geng Xingshuang's turn to be stunned. She looked at Yang Qingmo, having never expected that he would answer like this, to be so... straightforward, so frank.

"Well... I... How could I care about other men? I asked that just now because Lord Qin thinks highly of my second brother. I was thinking that if Prince Ping hated him and did something to him, my second brother would be in trouble as well."

Yang Qingmo smiled gently, and this smile was as bright as the spring day with dazzling golden light. Geng Xingshuang looked directly at such a beautiful face and felt that she could not control her heartbeat. She wanted to look away, but was reluctant to do so, so she seemed a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Yang Qingmo saw that her eyes were fixed on him for a while, and then turned to the garden. Her clear and watery eyes were very busy. He followed her gaze to look in the garden outside the pavilion. There were many flowers in bloom, but they were all ordinary varieties, nothing special.

Geng Xingshuang coughed lightly.

"Well, I was just thinking about something. The main thing is what you just said. Prince Ping has been summoned to the palace. Although you have reported all the affairs of the Xie family before, and the Xie family did collude with Yaomu to help Prince Ping, the Xie family's loyalty to the eldest prince must be known to the emperor and the court officials. Prince Ping can completely blame the eldest prince for everything the Xie family did."

He stuttered a little at the beginning, but as he spoke, it became smoother. Geng Xingshuang felt that he needed to practice so that he wouldn't be dazzled by beauty all the time. Fortunately, the person in front of him didn't notice this, otherwise who knows how he would react.

Well, probably a little more proud.

Yang Qingmo met his fiancée's serious eyes, and he also answered her seriously, "No, although Xie Lei is stupid, since Xie Kun was able to save Xie Lei's life under the calculation of Prince Ping, he would naturally think about how Xie Lei, a stupid boy, would survive under the pursuit of Prince Ping after the destruction of the Xie family." "Only when Prince Ping falls can Xie Lei survive." Geng Xingshuang continued, and asked, "So, is there any key evidence on Xie Lei?"

Yang Qingmo nodded, "Although most of the letters to Xie Kun were sent in the name of the Zhang family, the content of the letters was full of the shadow of King Ping. Those letters were all in Xie Lei's possession. In addition to these letters, there were also account books."

"Account book? Did the Xie family give money to Prince Ping?"

"It was Prince Ping who sent the silver to the Xie family. The first and second princes had the gold and iron mines in Mincheng before, but Prince Ping is no less wealthy. The Yongkang Marquis's Mansion and the Anqin Earl's Mansion are Prince Ping's maternal family and great-grandfather's family, and they are also Prince Ping's money bag, so Prince Ping is not short of silver."

"I never thought that it was Prince Ping who gave the Xie family money. I guess Prince Ping would not give money for no reason. After all, even if there are soldiers in the West, they are supported by the court and do not need Prince Ping's money. Xie Kun is a frontier official, and the Xie family itself will definitely not be short of money. But Prince Ping gave money to the Xie family, so he must have something very expensive for the Xie family to do."

As Geng Xingshuang spoke, he already had the answer in his mind. Prince Ping wanted to seek the throne. In front of him was Prince Shen, who was older than him and not weak in ability. Behind him was Prince Jin, who was the most favored by the emperor. It was possible that the emperor would pass the position to him, but the chance was only 30% at most. If the situation finally fell into the hands of the other 70%, then he would probably be unwilling to submit to Prince Shen or Prince Jin. Therefore, if he wanted to seize the throne, he had to have troops.

"So you found out that the Xie family was secretly recruiting soldiers, so Prince Ping and the Xie family wanted to use me and Sister Yan to threaten you?"

Yang Qingmo nodded, "Although they would be nervous if they found out that they were recruiting soldiers, the real reason they took action was that we found out where they hid their troops. At that time, even if they let go and committed the crime of treason, colluded with Yaomu, and wanted to kill General Zhu and his son and me, it would be difficult to defeat the Zhenyao Army in a short period of time and kill the commander and the generals. General Zhu only needs to submit a memorial, and the matter will be heard directly by the emperor.

In fact, if it weren’t for the coincidence that Prince Shen was plotting rebellion, the emperor would have received General Zhu’s memorial the day after you were kidnapped.”

"So kidnapping me and Sister Yan to threaten you is just a delaying tactic. Their ultimate goal is to kill you?"

Geng Xingshuang said this, then stood up and looked at the beautiful spring scenery outside. Her mood suddenly became very good, and a mysterious and beautiful feeling lingered in her heart.

In fact, she was a little confused about her own emotions. Logically, she should be afraid. After all, if they were really taken to the Xie family and completed the mission of threatening General Zhu and Yang Qingmo, they should have been killed immediately and would not have had any room to struggle or save themselves. After all, even General Zhu and Yang Qingmo were on their kill list.

"It's strange, I don't seem to be that scared." Geng Xingshuang turned around and looked at Yang Qingmo, her face showing genuine confusion and puzzlement.

Yang Qingmo also stood up, walked to her side, and looked at the beautiful spring scenery outside with her. "Shuang'er, I was very scared just now, but now, I am very glad. Suddenly, my mood is soaring. This is probably because we are both alive, and we can sit here and talk together, with beautiful scenery and delicious food to soothe our stomachs. This is the best thing."

Geng Xingshuang agreed with his words, but added in her heart, "There are still beauties to admire. It would be the best if three beauties were gathered together."

However, she only dared to think about this in her heart but could not say it out loud, which was quite regrettable.

"By the way, besides the letters between Xie Kun and the Zhang family, Xie Lei also had a passage that Xie Kun had asked him to recite before the Xie family got into trouble. He memorized it very well, and he could remember every word without missing a word, no matter how many times he recited it."

"What?" Geng Xingshuang was curious.
