Why didn't they let him go out?
He had already offended one, so he did not want to offend another.
Ninth Prince's Estate doesn't have any oil saving lanterns, okay?
He didn't want to die yet.
However, who would dare disobey the Emperor's words?
"What?" After hearing the entire story, Xiao Guowei revealed a foolish expression and asked, "Does little sister have someone that she likes? How come I didn't know about this? "
The emperor was furious, "I still want to ask you!"
To send a woman, whose heart was filled with other men, to the palace to give the Emperor a green hat, only the Xiao Guowei would dare to do that.
The Emperor was led to a fork in the road by the Xiao Guowei, but he did not dare to warn the Emperor.
They were clearly talking about the matter of using the Xiao Clan members to threaten the Imperial Consort Xiao, why did it become like this in the blink of an eye?
Not only was Yuchi Hanben puzzled, everyone else was confused as well.
"She is your woman, if you don't know, how would I know?"
The Emperor glared. "You're her brother."
Xiao Guowei's eyes were even wider than his, "Then, then you're still her man!"
"She is not just me …"
"All of you shut up."
In the end, the empress dowager couldn't bear to listen any longer and lost her temper.
The emperor kept quiet, and the Xiao Guowei stopped thinking about it.
He turned around to look at Imperial Consort Xiao at his side and said: "Little sister, don't be scared. Big brother will bring everyone from the manor to support you."
Everyone: "..." Didn't the emperor order you to be arrested?
When the Imperial Consort Xiao heard him, she smiled and said softly, "Big brother, I may have to implicate you guys."
"I'm fine." Xiao Guowei clapped her hands and said proudly: "Worse comes to worse, we will just die. In any case, the royals are temperamental."
"As the proverb goes, 'Accompanying a tiger with a monarch'; this brother had long anticipated that such a day would come."
"But they say you stole something. What did you steal?"
The Imperial Consort Xiao's gaze swept across the empress dowager and the others as she smiled mockingly. "I, too, would like to know what they're talking about."
"Xiao Lingyue, the words of that person just now were true, and she died in order to protect you. Do you dare to say that you and him are complete strangers?"
The empress dowager was so angry that none of them felt at ease.
"Hehe …" Imperial Consort Xiao looked at the Emperor and laughed. Then, she lowered her eyes and no longer spoke.
The Emperor saw the calmness in her eyes. Although it didn't have the usual tenderness, it was bright. It didn't seem fake, but when that person spoke just now, she didn't utter a single word. This was tacit agreement.
But now, he had a disdainful expression, he really didn't know whether he should believe her or not.
Or rather, what did he believe her about?
"Your Majesty, since she's unwilling to speak, then please pass down the decree!"
Under the pressure of the empress dowager, it was impossible for the emperor to protect her.
He asked the Imperial Consort Xiao in the end, "I will give you one last chance. If you can hand over the map, we will let your Xiao Clan go and let you live."
"Emperor, you can't."
The empress dowager wanted to stop him, but the emperor steeled his heart and decided. "Imperial Mother, there's no need to speak any further. Zhen understands."
That map must not be left outside. It must belong to the royal family.
Since the empress dowager didn't say anything, the others didn't dare say anything.
It was a pity that Imperial Consort Xiao still maintained her indifferent expression, as if she was going to be dealt with by any king. This caused the Emperor to be so angry that her teeth itched.
By her side, Xiao Ting saw that the emperor was about to make his decision, she was so anxious that beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, but unfortunately she still couldn't move her body.
This damnable Ninth Prince, if something happens to my aunt today, she won't let him go.
And that cheap dad, he had quite the guts!
Just as she saw that the emperor was about to issue a decree to deal with the Xiao Clan, the Ninth Prince, which had always told her to be patient, still did not make a single move.
This made Xiao Ting very anxious.
"Good, looks like you're wholeheartedly seeking death. If you want to accompany him, then I'll grant you that wish."
"Someone, come."
The empress's face slowly broke into a comfortable smile. This big trouble in her heart was finally going to be eliminated.
All these years, she was clearly the master of the Six Palaces, but the imperial concubines only seemed to remember that there was an imperial concubine and not an empress like her.
Even if she was pulled out on the surface, she would secretly be held back. Yao Chi Palace was like the sun in the middle of the sky.
Maybe even the heavens could not stand watching the Imperial Consort Xiao do such a thing.
From today onwards, take down all the differences in the glory of the National Uncle Palace. Immediately sentence all the people in the Xiao Clan to death row, and interrogate them in three days. "
As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, Xu Yu did not accept his orders. Instead, he cupped his hands and asked: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the forty-one people from the National Uncle Palace are already guarding outside the hall. The only one left now."
"Who? "Why not?"
While the emperor was speaking, he kept looking at Imperial Consort Xiao. Unfortunately, no matter what order he gave, Imperial Consort Xiao only smiled and didn't care.
Xu Yu's gaze drifted towards the Ninth Prince, and then he replied: "Reporting to the Emperor, he is the Tenth Gongzi of the Xiao Mansion, and he is currently being escorted by the Yunshi as his reading partner. I don't know if I should put him in jail. "
Prison, you are courting death, you want to harm Small Ten, see if I beat you to death.
"Don't you understand what the Emperor is saying? Anyone who is related to Xiao Lingyue, get them and throw them into the Sky Prison. "
The Emperor was overjoyed and scolded him on his own initiative.
Although the Emperor was unhappy, he didn't say anything.
His heart was cold, since he had already reached this step, was Imperial Consort Xiao still not willing to say anything?
"Then, where is Ninth Princess?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on this forgotten corner.
"Who called me? Do you want to die? "
When everyone looked over, Ninth Prince opened Xiao Ting's acupoints.
Once it was liberated, Xiao Ting, who was bored to death, did not care about anything and directly went on a rampage.
Xu Yu started to shut his mouth, standing at the side, holding his sword.
After Xiao Ting asked this question, she did not even bother to see who had spoken it. She directly ran to the front of the Imperial Consort Xiao, hugged her waist, and raised her head to ask, "Aunt, they are framing you. Why do you have to admit it?"
"Tell the Emperor that you didn't steal nor find anyone to assassinate him. Tell him that the Emperor will believe you. He loves you very much."
Xiao Ting was a little afraid.
Even if she kept telling herself that she only needed to be an outsider to live her life here.
But she had a feeling that the good things that the Imperial Consort Xiao and the Xiao Guowei had done for her were real.
Thus, when she heard that the Xiao Clan was going to be beheaded, she only had one thought in her mind, even if those people were all dead, she wouldn't feel too touched.
But his aunt and her lucky father couldn't die.
The Emperor was such a creature. In this space and time, he was equivalent to the gods in this world. There was nothing he couldn't do.
He liked his aunt so much that he had always been reluctant to let her die.
Unfortunately, since the Imperial Consort Xiao had already admitted it, how could he possibly overturn it just because of a single sentence from her.
Imperial Consort Xiao caressed her cheeks and said: "Silly girl, someone who trusts you won't believe you just because you said what you said."
She only said that one sentence, then looked towards Ninth Prince and smiled.
"Ting'er, you must remember what aunt said before. Take good care of Small Ten."
"I don't want it." Xiao Ting had lived for two lifetimes, and in total, it had only been a dozen odd years. She had never experienced any sort of warmth, and the person she was closest to was her master.
However, in the short span of a few months that she had come here, she had received the love of many people. She was very happy, and she also wanted to cherish it.
"Your majesty, don't you know what aunt has done to you?"
Xiao Ting couldn't persuade his aunt, and could only look for the emperor. "She and your husband for so many years, do you feel that there's no one else in their hearts?"
"Just based on the words of others, a so-called witness is going to convict her. You're a robber, useless …"
"Shut up."
"How dare you!"
Two voices sounded at the same time. One was the empress dowager, the other was the emperor.
Back then, it was only Xiao Lingyue who confused His Majesty, who pointed out this unruly girl to the Ninth Prince. As the ruler of this palace, I had crippled this marriage and sent her and the rest of the Xiao family to jail.
The empress dowager was infuriated, directly passing the emperor's order.
The Janissaries were all outside, but only Xu Yu, the Janissary's commander, was inside.
However, he didn't move.
"Xu, you're still not making your move."
"You old woman, ever since I first entered the palace, you've been causing trouble for me. I say, do you have nothing to do after you've eaten your fill? The granny of the mortal world has always helped her son to bring in grandchildren, nurturing flowers, recuperating in health, and so on."
"You, on the other hand, are always looking for trouble. Either you pick this thorn or you find trouble with me. I say, I have never seen you before in my previous life, so I don't owe you money. How can you ever be worse than me?"
"You, you …" The empress dowager was finally angered to the point of unconsciousness by Xiao Ting after experiencing multiple setbacks.
The imperial physicians were all gathered in Yao Chi Palace. After fifteen minutes, the first thing the imperial concubine did after waking up was to apprehend Xiao Ting.
How could Xiao Ting be afraid of her? At this moment, she and her lucky father were right in front of the Imperial Consort Xiao, discussing big things.
"Father, will the people you brought with you be able to slaughter their way out of the Imperial Palace?"
"Of course not. Their martial arts are not enough to deal with the imperial guards. It's not a problem for them to knock down three of them."
Xiao Ting thought for a while, then said: "Looks like I won't be able to force my way in, then, is there a dog hole in the palace?
Xiao Guowei shook his head, "I've never heard of it before. Little sister, do you know?"
Before Imperial Consort Xiao could say anything, Xiao Ting was stopped by her. "Auntie, with such a noble identity, how would you know where the dog hole is? You might need to find a palace maid to ask."
"Then where can we find reliable palace maids in this short period of time? Everyone in Yao Chi Palace has been arrested."
Xiao Ting scratched her head, feeling troubled, "That won't do, that won't do, looks like I can only use this method."
"Good girl, do you really have a way to save us?"
Xiao Ting solemnly nodded his head, "Father, are you afraid of ghosts?"
Xiao Guowei was dumbfounded, "What? "Where the hell is the ghost?"
Before the father and daughter of the Xiao family could unite on the front lines, Empress Dowager Xiao woke up and let Xiao Ting go.
Xiao Ting placed both of her hands in front of his chest. Just as he moved, a pair of slightly cold hands suddenly covered the back of her hands.
He held down the Spiritualism that she had prepared.
"Calm your anger, Empress Dowager."
It was the Ninth Prince, and it was unknown when he had reached Xiao Ting's side and stopped her.
Ninth Prince took the opportunity to hold Xiao Ting's hand in her own and did not loosen her grip.
"Her mouth is always open, so you shouldn't lower yourself to her level."
