After rebirth, I accept the emperor as my younger brother

The Zhong family took over the task of collecting tribute from southern Xinjiang. On the surface, the court was calm, but in fact, it was already turbulent.

At the beginning of the 19th year of Tiancheng's reign, the Zhong family accepted bribes from Southern Xinjiang and received letters to and from Southern Xinjiang as evidence. This proved their crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. All the male family members of the Zhong family were executed and all the female family members were exiled.

Gu Jiamu hurriedly came to Yun Mansion and found Yun Ange in the study:

"Sister An Ge, things about the Zhong family..."

"I already know."

Yun Ange nodded to him.

She was also very surprised. She originally thought that the Zhong family wanted to frame the Gu family, so if the Zhong family went to collect tribute, they wouldn't involve their own family.

So, no matter which family goes to collect tribute, will the same accident happen?

What are the intentions of the people behind the scenes?

Thinking of the past life, after the decline of the Gu family, the Li family, the prince's cousin, took over.

In this life, the Li family had already replaced the Lan family in advance when it declined, and was replaced by an emerging family - the Cao family.

If the decline of the Gu family in the previous life must have been caused by the crown prince Mo Jingyi, Yun Ange is not sure about the decline of the Zhong family this time.

According to the news from Jingyunzhai and what she learned in her previous life, the prince has always had a good relationship with the Wu family, the Lan family, and the Zhong family. Now the Lan family has been replaced by the Li family, which is also the prince's own.

But once the Zhong family is defeated, Mo Jingyi will break his own arm. There is no reason for him to do this.

Gu Jiamu believed that everything Yun Ange said was true. If the Gu family had taken over the task of collecting tribute in southern Xinjiang, the current Zhong family would have suffered the same fate as the Gu family.

He was glad to have saved the Gu family, and also wanted to know who was behind the scenes.

"Brother Jiamu, I think the person behind this must be trying to establish his own power.

You must know that the eight major aristocratic families all have profound foundations. Having the support of one of them is equivalent to having one more bargaining chip.

Maybe, we are all just pawns in the eyes of others.

The road ahead is still long, so we need to keep a low profile and preserve our strength."

Gu Jiamu understood what she meant. It didn't matter who was behind the scenes. What was important was that the exchange of blood among the eight aristocratic families would also have a great impact on the future battle for the throne.

It was probably done by one of the princes in order to establish his own power.

"Then what do we need to do? Do we need someone to keep an eye on the Cao family?"

"No need."

Yun Ange said calmly:

"There is no need to do anything, just wait and see what happens. We only need to strengthen our family, and the enemy will naturally consider whether we have that ability."

----------------------------------------

Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, things have changed, and five years have passed by like this.

April in the Great Zheng Kingdom is a good time of early spring, and the wind blows into people's hearts with a hint of coolness.

The branches by the lake have sprouted new leaves, and as far as the eye can see, it is a bright green color.

It was misty and rainy, and thin raindrops fell on the lake, creating ripples in circles, one layer after another, which was really beautiful.

A slender hand picked up a box of rouge and lightly applied it on her face. The face of the person in the mirror gradually became clearer, and she was looking at a beautiful woman who could conquer the entire country.

"Miss, Mr. Song and Mr. Yu have received letters."

Qingyun handed the things to Yun Ange, and felt that his young lady was even more stunningly beautiful.

Yun Ange unfolded the letter and wrote on it that the opening of several branches of Jingyunzhai in Beihuai State went very smoothly, and the two of them would be leaving for home soon.

Over the past five years, Yun Ange has been secretly developing his own power.

In addition to Jingyunzhai, which is a restaurant on the surface and an intelligence network secretly, it also trains thirty orphans to become its own secret guards.

Among them, the two most outstanding ones were often taken with her and given the names Qingguang and Qingyong.

Nowadays, Yun Ange has already been admitted as a female martial arts officer and is still a young general appointed by the emperor.

This is the first time in the great Zheng Kingdom that a woman is a general!

Although the Emperor did not ask her to lead troops in battles because of her young age, but was only responsible for the patrol management of the capital, this was a unique honor.

Yun Ange has always been a popular person around the emperor. Anyone who sees him must bow respectfully and call him "Young General Yun".

The struggle between Prince Mo Jingyi and Fifth Prince Mo Jingfeng has become more and more fierce. Both sides have formed their own camps in the dark, but they can't show it openly.

Usually, either you sue the people under me, or I annex the property in your hands.

Shu Tingting has also become more and more charming in the past five years. With her intelligence, she has already become a social butterfly in the capital circle. Mo Jingyi also trusts her very much, and the two of them are in love with each other.

I just don't know why, but every time Mo Jingyi sees Yun Ange, he feels that such a beautiful woman should be his.

So he ignored Yun Ange's cynicism and took the initiative to show his kindness to Yun Ange every time, hoping to win her heart.

In the past few years, Mo Jingning has also relied on Yun Ange's care, and his status has risen rapidly, and he was even allowed by the emperor to follow other princes to court.

It's just that he behaves very low-key and doesn't interact with any aristocratic families. He seems to be a little stoic and has no interest in that position.

In this regard, other princes will naturally not make things difficult for him. After all, there is Miss Yun family behind him.

The emperor also admired his son more and more because of his intelligence and non-controversy, coupled with Yun Ange's help.

That day, Yun Ange finished chatting with the emperor and was walking on the road to the imperial garden. Qingyun beside her was also sent by her to deliver something to Mo Jingning.

Unexpectedly, he saw Mo Jingyi striding towards him.

Yun Ange lowered his eyes and saluted, "See His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ange, there's no need to be polite, just get up."

Mo Jingyi tried to help her, but Yun Ange didn't want him to touch her and took a few steps back.

Mo Jingyi didn't understand why Yun Ange could be so heartless and completely ignore him when he tried to show his kindness in every possible way.

Looking at the face in front of him, his heart moved. Yun Ange's beauty was really amazing. His melancholy eyes stared at her closely:

"An Ge, did you receive the post I sent to Yun Mansion last time? Why did you never arrive even after waiting for a long time when I asked you to go to the lake that day?"

Yun Ange sneered in his heart, but on the surface he said calmly:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am usually very busy. Besides, unmarried men and women are traveling in the lake together. It will be bad for your reputation if you tell anyone about it. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"That……"

Mo Jingyi felt a little anxious, "Then one day, can I invite you to Jingyunzhai for dinner? I heard that the food there is very special..."

Yun Ange thought to himself, I want to eat my property every day, do you still need to treat me?

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It's just that the Emperor has assigned many tasks to my daughter, and I still need to complete them well.

If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to entertain guests, there will be many women willing to attend. Please excuse me, Rongchen."

Mo Jingyi looked at her unrepentant back, knowing that he had been rejected again, and he didn't know why, but felt empty in his heart.
