Chapter 161 Taking Advantage of His Suspicion
Hou House.

Ah Ying looked at the Green Waist Dance costume and said calmly, "Burn it."

Su Jian was startled, "Burn? What are you burning it for?"

Aying looked at the burning brazier and threw a letter into it.

The words on it are still clearly visible: On the night when the late Concubine Duangong of Nanjing gave birth to her son, Concubine Shu wore a moon-colored gauze skirt and performed a green waist dance.

"Because this is a thorn in other people's hearts..." Ah Ying said slowly. If she hadn't been forced into this situation, she really wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.

Noble Consort Duan Gong was Helan Cha's biological mother. She was deprived of favor by her cousin Consort Shu with a green waist dance. From then on, Helan Cha's biological mother died of depression because of the embarrassment caused by her cousin Consort Shu.

Therefore, Helancha hated Luyaowu the most.

In order to protect himself, Aying had no choice but to use this strategy.

After a while, Xie Chengyi came back.

Su Jian welcomed Xie Chengyi into the house.

"Are you okay?" Xie Chengyi asked.

Ah Ying said aggrievedly, "It was almost bad."

"How did you come up with this idea?" Xie Chengyi asked.

Ah Ying said frankly, "I asked Qingshi to find some people and form a secret guard. Generally speaking, it is to make money."

"What about special circumstances?"

Facing Xie Chengyi's question, Ah Ying did not intend to hide it, "Under special circumstances, we must ensure safety..."

"So, the secret guard also gave you the information about wearing a moon-colored gauze skirt and dancing the green waist dance?" Xie Chengyi said in disbelief.

Ah Ying nodded, "This matter is not an absolute secret. If I didn't use this method, how could Helan Cha hate me?"

"Then why did you deliberately stage that scene outside the Xuanming Palace?" Xie Chengyi was confused by Aying.

Ah Ying smiled softly, "This Helancha is really too smart. How can we make him give up completely just by relying on this dress and dance? The key is to make him suspicious! You also said that Helancha is very suspicious and more likely to be smart. Then I will take advantage of his mind and deliberately let him catch us talking. I will deliberately let him think that I want to marry him and you also want to marry me. This way, the performance in the hall will seem much more logical. He must have guessed that you were guessing his thoughts, so he caught you off guard and turned the tables."

Xie Chengyi nodded slightly, "When everyone pushes him forward, he will rebel. You are quite good at grasping his weakness."

Ah Ying took a deep breath and said, "I didn't find his weakness, I just found your summary of him."

No matter what, the fact that Aying got rid of Helan Cha was indeed a relief for both of them.

"But I'm afraid you will be ridiculed in the future." Aying looked at Xie Chengyi.

"Hmm?" Xie Chengyi looked at her steadily.

"You hold a gambler's daughter in your palm, but this gambler's daughter dares to ignore you and wants to become the princess of another country." Aying said self-deprecatingly.

Xie Chengyi couldn't help but smile, "That's good too. If anyone wants to bully you in the future, they have to see if I agree or not."

Ah Ying didn't expect Xie Chengyi to be so open-minded, "Thank you..."

In every crisis, it seemed like Xie Chengyi was carrying the burden for her.

Xie Chengyi and A Ying sat gently on the steps. Xie Chengyi held A Ying's hand and looked up at the moonlight. "Don't worry, everything will get better and better."

Ah Ying couldn't help but relax and lean on Xie Chengyi's shoulder, looking at the moonlight together, "Yes, it will definitely get better and better."

"Next, will the third princess get married?" Ah Ying slowly calmed down and asked.

Xie Chengyi shook his head, "I don't know. These are not things we can be sure of."

Yes, it is an important national policy, how could Xie Chengyi not do it if he doesn't want to?

What's more, His Majesty is Xiao Wenzhang, a king who always puts the country first. ***
The warm room of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Chuyi cannot be allowed to marry into Nanjing. This is my only daughter, and I cannot watch her fall into the tiger's mouth." Sheng Xinlan knelt on the ground, her eyes red and swollen from crying.

Xiao Wenzhang looked at Sheng Xinlan with a gloomy expression, "This is about the stability of the country. If she says she doesn't want to marry, then she won't marry?"

"Your Majesty, please, don't let Chuyi marry him. You know Chuyi is straightforward. Helan Cha is so scheming. How would Chuyi end up well if she married him? Can you bear it?" Sheng Xinlan said as she knelt and moved forward.

How could Xiao Wenzhang bear to do that? That was his spoiled daughter. "But Helancha obviously wants Chuyi to marry him! Is there anyone of the same age among the princesses?"

Sheng Xinlan was furious and said quickly: "If there is no suitable person, we can reward them! We can reward the daughters of our relatives or the daughters of generals. If all else fails, we can reward the daughters of ministers, such as Jin Xian and Yu Lu, right? Even Huo Aying can be rewarded! As long as Chu Yi is not allowed to go, anyone can go!"

Xiao Wenzhang looked at Sheng Xinlan who was about to go crazy, and felt a tightness in his heart. "I'm tired. Let me think about it."

Sheng Xinlan wanted to speak again, but Xiao Wenzhang suddenly said in a stern voice: "That's enough!"

Suddenly, Xiao Wenzhan was like an angry lion, scaring Sheng Xinlan so much that she shrank back in silence.

When Sheng Xinlan walked out of the warm room trembling with fear, Xiao Wenzhan dropped a cup on the ground.

Gao Pan quickly looked at his expression and said soothingly, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Just when Xiao Wenzhan raised his head slightly to relax his heart, Gao Pan received a secret letter.

So, he walked into the warm room with cautious steps.

Gently picked up the sandalwood.

"Your Majesty, Commander Fan is outside the door."

After Xiao Wenzhang calmed down slowly, he replied, "Let him in!"

At this moment, Xiao Wen Zhang's eyes were filled with murderous intent. If someone had to take on the infamy and quell all the turmoil, then he, Xiao Wen Zhang, would take it on alone.

Fan Zhen walked into the warm room with a dignified manner, kowtowed and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Wenzhang raised his eyes and said in a low voice: "Speak!"

Fan Zhen stood up and said cautiously: "Nanjing has reported that Helan Hong has been secretly imprisoned!"

Xiao Wenzhang jumped up instantly, "What?"

"The Nanjing Palace is heavily guarded and all news is blocked. Even state affairs are handled by Helan Hong alone in the palace and then passed on. This situation is not normal!" Fan Zhen analyzed bit by bit.

After hearing this, Xiao Wenzhang understood a little more, "You mean Helancha intends to rebel?"

Fan Zhen shook his head, "I haven't found out yet! But, I can be sure that there must be something fishy about this matter!"

Gao Pan then presented a secret memorial, "Your Majesty, this is a secret memorial from General Fuyuan!"

Xiao Wenzhang quickly opened it and saw the words written on it: "Nanjing has assembled 100,000 troops, but the purpose is unknown for the time being."

After reading the memorial, Xiao Wenzhang immediately felt cold all over, "Call, call Xiao Cong."

When Gao Pan saw Xiao Wenzhang's expression, he knew the seriousness of the situation and quickly urged a eunuch to pass on the message.

At this time, Xiao Wenzhan couldn't help but consider Helan Cha's purpose. Why did he still come to negotiate peace?

Fan Zhen had always had a guess in his mind, but he had no definite evidence. At this moment, he couldn't help but guess: "Your Majesty, could this 100,000-man army have something to do with us?"

"Who is this related to?" Xiao Wenzhan was confused.

"Nan Chu??"
