The Empress is really my little aunt?

"Empress!" The Mrs. Wang mother and daughter said the same thing.

Xiao Ruyue paused, only then did she realise that she had said another shocking and terrifying thing.

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang was a concubine of the imperial harem. If she wanted to live a carefree life far away from the martial arts world, there were only two methods. One was to be expelled from the palace, and the other was to invite herself out.

Secular etiquette made a girl want to end things once and for all. If she committed a great sin and was expelled, it would shame the family. If she was asked to leave the palace, it would make the world criticize her. She could only choose the path of home.

No matter which one, it was not a good choice.

"There are no outsiders here, please do not panic." As Xiao Ruyue spoke, she glanced at Yin Lin and said, "If I send the message out, you will be the only one who can answer my questions."

Yin Lin hurriedly acknowledged twice.

Only then did Mrs. Wang heave a sigh of relief.

But Xiao Ruyue's words left a deep impression on Wang Yingyue's heart.

If it wasn't for the empress, she wouldn't have dared to think that a woman could act so recklessly. If it wasn't for her words, she wouldn't have dared to imagine that she had the right to roam the martial arts world.

If he was expelled from the palace, the family would be shamed, so what about asking him to leave? Even if he was often accompanied by the azure lamp or ancient buddha, it was still better than living in this deep palace.

Her position in the palace was all given to her by the empress. The Empress's actions made it easier for her to gain a foothold in the palace, so as to prevent others from scheming against her. It also gave the Wang family more backing in the imperial court. They had done two good things at the same time. The Empress was her great benefactor to the Wang family, so how could she forget her benefactor?

Moreover, the emperor only had Esteemed Empress in his heart. There was no room for another. In terms of poetry and poetry, she might be able to compare with the Empress. However, in terms of great wisdom and courage, she was inferior to the Empress.

If he had the chance to leave the palace in his lifetime, it would be better than dying of old age alone deep in the palace.

After exiting the Phoenix Palace, Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Yingyue seriously: "Tell Mother, did you give birth to that thought?"

That thought was to point out the thoughts of the palace.

Wang Yingyue was startled, she wanted to nod her head, but when she looked at him, she realized that she respected and feared her mother, and immediately shook her head, "Mother is overthinking it, your daughter does not dare."

"I know you, but I can't hide your thoughts from me." The Mrs. Wang said indifferently.

Wang Yingyue did not make a sound, and quietly walked to the front.

Mrs. Wang sighed, not knowing what to say.

The mother and daughter duo walked further and further away.

The two palace maids arranged by Xiao Ruyue followed behind him.

After the Wang mother and daughter left, Xiao Ruyue held Yin Lin's hand and stood up, "Mrs. Wang has specially entered the palace to remind me, I cannot disappoint her kindness."

Just now, Mrs. Wang had warned her before she left that she had to be careful of the mother and daughter duo. Although Mrs. Wang entered the palace today to talk about her disguising herself as a man, in reality, these two reminders were the most important ones.

It was pointed straight at Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He. From the looks of it, she should also take this mother and daughter pair who had the desire to cause trouble when she was no longer here.

Outside the palace, Xiao Mansion.

Ever since he had returned from the palace, Xiao Jingyu had locked himself in his study and ignored anyone who called out. Even if it was Ripple, he would only reply faintly, saying that he didn't want to meet anyone, and then nothing else.

Old Mistress Xiao was anxious as well as she pulled at the ripples and said, "What's wrong with him? Ever since he passed the palace examination, my old woman has never seen him like this? "

Ripple also shook his head blankly, but he did not forget to comfort his wife, "Madame, don't worry too much. I trust that my lord will take care of it. Let's just wait a little longer. "

"He's already been sitting here for almost four hours. Just what kind of earth-shattering difficulty has caused him to become like this?" The old madam sighed and called out from the doorway, "Jing Yu, if there's anything you can't figure out, come out and say it. The grand granny might be able to help you."

The old man was getting older and older. Jing Yu was the only child left at home, so how could she be at ease?

Xiao Jingyu sat in a daze for a long time. He read and reread the embroidered handkerchief on the table. His heart felt heavy.

This was simply unbelievable!

However, this handkerchief was obviously brand-new, and did not look like something that had been preserved for ten years.

Some things upset him.

The granny outside the door was calling him, so he couldn't sit still.

"Grandmother, grandson has something to tell you." Just as Old Mistress Xiao sighed and was about to leave, Xiao Jingyu hesitated and opened the door to the study room.

Old Mistress Xiao paused for a moment, and then used her staff to enter the study room.

Ripple was also someone who had stayed in the palace for the first time, so naturally, he knew how to observe the situation. Seeing that their grandfather and grandson wanted to say something huge, he retreated outside and waited.

She was afraid that the madame would get into trouble if she got too excited, so she was more at ease waiting at the door.

"Did something big happen?" Seeing his solemn expression, Old Mistress Xiao had more or less understood what was going on.

The old man's gaze shifted to the embroidered handkerchief on the table. He paused for a moment, and then his eyes filled with shock: "Where did you get this!"

"Grandmother, don't worry. Please tell me in detail." Xiao Jingyu supported his great grandmother and sat her down, then offered the embroidered handkerchief up with his two hands.

He said carefully, "I assume that even your grandma recognized this embroidery skill at a glance."

The mist embroidered on the cloth scattered, the moon was full, and the family sat together to admire the moon.

"Other people would definitely not be able to learn such an exquisite embroidery technique. Even that Yao Ziyan, who had learned it from the Moon girl for so long, only learned it as a David, didn't she?"

"The wife of the Wang Shangshu has come to your house, right?" Xiao Jingyu did not follow up with the old lady's words, but asked directly.

He had too many questions.

The Old Mistress Xiao did not continue to hide and nodded, "Madam Wang, you have come. "I was afraid you would think too much."

"I understand. How many years has the Wang family been apart from our family? I understand that you are worried about your son. But, what is the Mrs. Wang doing here? "

The old mistress was taken aback. She placed the embroidered handkerchief on her lap and took out another handkerchief from her undergarment.

It was the same thing that Xiao Ruyue had asked Mrs. Wang to send over. The old mistress looked at this piece, then looked at it, and tears started rolling down her face like pearls with their strings cut.

Tears blurred his eyes.

A lot of people were crying.

"Moon girl is Moon girl."

"It's her!"

Xiao Jingyu sat down on his butt, his expression extremely lifeless.

Is the empress really my little aunt?

"Does Grandmother know who made these two embroidered towels?"

Xiao Jingyu thought for a long time, but still opened his mouth.

The old mistress was stunned by his question. "You, you know?"

Xiao Jingyu didn't say anything. He suddenly stood up, and with a "thump" sound, he kneeled down in front of the old lady.

They prostrated themselves on all fours.

"What are you doing?" The madame was shocked by his actions and quickly took out her usual handkerchief to wipe her tears away. She extended her hand to pull him up and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Great granny, the empress asked His Majesty to pass this handkerchief to me. The emperor personally handed it to his grandson." His Majesty even said …

"What else did he say!" The old mistress seemed to have understood something as she shrugged in agitation.

Xiao Jingyu was afraid that his mistress would be too excited and helped her up. "His Majesty said that the Empress asked me to bring back this embroidered handkerchief. He also reminded her that the Wang Shangshu's wife should have brought a second embroidered handkerchief for his grandma. "Your Majesty, he …"

"You're saying, esteemed empress?" The old mistress' turbid eyes sparkled, "Is she Moon girl?"

Xiao Jingyu sighed, "We all know that little aunt already died ten years ago."

"But I feel like my Moon girl is still here." As the old mistress spoke, she could not stop her tears.

"She's so cute and smart, so likeable. The fortune-teller said that there was a great calamity in her life. If she could survive this great disaster, there would definitely be afterlife. The words of the fortune-telling blind man couldn't be wrong! Jing Yu, it's the Moon girl. It's your aunt, right? "

The Old Mistress tugged on Xiao Jingyu's front lapel forcefully, almost tearing the cloth apart.

"Great granny!"

Xiao Jingyu didn't know what to say. He wanted to comfort the elderly and say that he shouldn't think too much. But even he didn't believe that.

It was impossible for such a coincidence to exist in this world.

If it weren't for the Empress's special connection with her little aunt, why would the Empress be particularly fond of them, this one old and one young, Xiao Mansion?

Now that he thought about it, ever since the empress had married into Da Xia, she had been extremely considerate towards the Xiao family.

At that time, when he was framed and imprisoned, the Empress did her utmost to deal with him. The Empress did not even hesitate to lower herself to the utmost, going deep into the Celestial Prison to visit and comfort him.

At that time, he had thought that the Empress was really doing this for the Emperor. Now that he thought about it carefully, it caused him to feel suspicious.

There was another time when he was in the palace and saw that the Empress's demeanor and behavior were extremely similar to that of his little aunt. He could not help but call out, "Little aunt."

At that time, the Empress had not been angry, so much so that she had replied, "What's wrong?"

"You are very similar to this subject's aunt." he said.

The empress even smiled at that. "Maybe I really am."

"Maybe I really am." These words were not a joke or a joke, but a reminder.

"Oh Jing Yu, I want to enter the palace." Not because of a granny's request, but because she was begging her great-grandson.

Xiao Jingyu hurriedly kneeled down for her elderly self, "Great Granny, your grandson cannot bring you into the palace."

"Don't you want to be sure that the empress is your little aunt?"

Xiao Jingyu shook his head, "Today, the empress had exposed the fact that she is disguised as a man in the morning assembly. I'm afraid even the Empress Dowager is alarmed.

Old Mistress Xiao's movements suddenly paused, with a flip of her eyes, she fainted.

"Great granny!"
