Hu Xiao did not even do it once, not even for a day! Just as she was thinking about how to excuse Qin Shuo, she heard Wen Fuchen speaking.

"What is it? General Zhao did not find the one who went astray? [Since he dared to do such a thing in front of His Majesty, he should know what kind of crime he would be found guilty of. He must be an assassin. He should try to take advantage of the chaos and disobey His Majesty!]

Seeing that Wen Fuchen had taken such a huge risk, even if Zhao Qiyan did not want to bring Hu Xiao and up, it was impossible for him to do so. After all, everyone had seen him bringing Hu Xiao and Soong Xuan out just now.

"Forget it, bring them up here for a look."

Looking at Wen Fuchen who was still speaking righteously, although Qin Shuo was very dissatisfied, he did not say anything, and just stood there silently.

Very quickly, Zhao Qiyan brought the two of them up.

At the moment, Hu Xiao looked like a man. No one could recognise him, but they could no longer be clear about her appearance.

At this moment, the moment Xue Mier, who had been silently standing at the side the entire time, saw Soong Xuan's face, she instantly slapped Soong Xuan's face with lightning speed. "Tell me, what was your intention in setting the backyard on fire?"

Xue Mier had never thought that the one who would ruin her good fortune, was actually Soong Xuan, and thus, she was unable to control herself.

Xue Mier's sudden punishments made everyone present a little surprised, why was it that the gentle and weak Imperial Consort Xue had always been subservient and weak, even though they were used to being pampered and prideful, this was the first time they had seen someone act so ruthlessly.

Hu Xiao frowned as she looked at Xue Mier. Just now, she did not have the time to stop Xue Mier, but Soong Xuan had already been beaten up. At this moment, Soong Xuan's face swelled up at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, and she looked at Soong Xuan.

Xue Mier saw the look in everyone's eyes as they looked at him. She was stunned for a moment, the hand she used to hit Soong Xuan using just now seemed to be in a daze, as though she had done something she shouldn't have.

"Speak, are you a spy? Deliberately taking advantage of this opportunity to approach His Majesty, who sent you here? "Who is the mastermind?"

The atmosphere of the Wen Fuchen Hall had gradually quietened down, and went up to speak, signalling the guards at the side to come forward and suppress Soong Xuan.

Hu Xiao watched the movements around him closely. Seeing that the people were about to rush up to him and make a move, Zhao Qiyan quickly blocked all the guards.

"What do you want to do? Minister Wen, could it be that you want to abuse your private affairs in front of His Majesty? "

The person in the hall was the Empress, so Wen Fuchen and Xue Mier were unable to see through him, but he and His Majesty were well aware of it. Fortunately, Xue Mier had hit that Soong Xuan just now, and if she had hit her, Zhao Qiyan would not even dare to imagine how she would have gone crazy.

Seeing Zhao Qiyan protecting the two people kneeling down, Wen Fuchen was startled, they were just ordinary people, one was a direct daughter of the Soong Family, and the other was just a merchant. Wen Fuchen did not care, and the other one was even more so, although he was a servant of the Mr Mo Zhu, but he was only a servant, so even if the little servant were to die, the Mr Mo Zhu would definitely not compete with him!

But now it seems like Wen Fuchen was wrong.

"General Zhao, could it be that you are biased towards these two disorderly subjects? These two are not your General Zhao's close friends or anything like that? "

Wen Fuchen said while looking at Zhao Qiyan's side. Suddenly, Zhao Qiyan felt like he knew something.

"Alright, Soong Xuan, speak."

Seeing that they seemed to be continuing to argue, Qin Shuo felt a headache and secretly glared at Hu Xiao. If it wasn't for Hu Xiao, this troublemaker, there would have been a lot of trouble.

When Hu Xiao heard Qin Shuo's words, she secretly glanced at Soong Xuan, but Soong Xuan naturally understood what she meant.

"I was a bit hungry just now. When I went out, I saw the patrolling guards, so I begged him to take me to the backyard to find something to eat. However, the kitchen in the backyard was empty, so we thought about roasting some dried corn, but in the end …"

Soong Xuan's face was originally completely black from the smoke, and now that she spoke of her grievances, it did indeed attract the pity of the men present.

Results... In the end, they set the entire backyard on fire!

Hearing this result, his face darkened.

"Oh? Since you're hungry, then why didn't you bring your own guards, and instead brought this person along? "

Xue Mier knew that the guard by Soong Xuan's side was the man who was pestering Her Majesty in the forest all day, and Soong Xuan had even caught Qin Shuo's eyes. Wasn't this clearly slapping her, the Imperial Consort Xue, in the face?

"If I said that it was a coincidence, would Imperial Consort Xue believe me?"

Soong Xuan looked at Hu Xiao and said, that pitiful look on her face and Imperial Consort Xue's overbearing attitude made all the men present lean towards Soong Xuan.

"Why must Imperial Concubine be so overbearing? Since this Miss Soong has given us the reason, we will know when we go investigate."

Zhao Qiyan saw the look on Imperial Consort Xue's face and anxiously said. He had already spread the news that the Emperor was fond of men, and when she left with the Emperor, many people had seen him, if she continued to pester in the Imperial Consort Xue, sooner or later, she would find out about Hu Xiao's identity, so she could not allow the Imperial Consort Xue to pester him like this.

"Does General Zhao plan to always protect this Miss Soong and this guard? Is it really as Minister Wen said? Could it be that there is some relationship between General Zhao and these two that no one else knows? "

Xue Mier said while looking at Zhao Qiyan. She was currently worrying about how to teach this guard and Soong Xuan a lesson, and an extremely good opportunity had appeared in front of her. How could Xue Mier let this opportunity go so easily?

"Allow this official to speak one more time, why must Imperial Concubine bite this Miss Soong to death and this … Where are the guards? Could it be that the imperial concubine has other motives? "

Yin Fufeng stood at the side and watched for a long time, but seeing his good friend, he did not know how to refute, and interrupted.

Yin Fufeng's words immediately made Xue Mier speechless. Was her performance really too overbearing?

Seeing that you are causing such trouble, the guards will punish you as my personal maid. Seeing how you are causing trouble, if you want to make this journey with the Southern Patrol go smoothly, and leave this person by Gu Lao's side, it is already time for you to leave. You still have to get up early tomorrow to continue your journey. "

Qin Shuo had been tormented for an entire night, and now he felt extremely tired. He had even saved a life just now, so there was no point in continuing this trial, where there was no punishment anyway.

However, he could also consider it as a fortunate thing that Hu Xiao was brought to her side.
