The two of them were about to leave when they saw the person in front of them. Xia He cried even harder. The pomegranate gritted its teeth, then flew into the air. It directly attacked towards Liu Feng.

Liu Feng saw her and the two of them started fighting.

Liu Hao and Liu Shixuan also joined the team. However, he couldn't defeat these three people, let alone the fact that this was the prison of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As expected, pomegranate was defeated very quickly. They were suppressed by Liu Shixuan, "Speak, who sent you here? Does the Prime Minister's residence still have any of your accomplices? What is your purpose "?

Looking at Liu Shixuan's pale face, pomegranate smiled.

Just as he was about to crush the poison in his mouth. Liu Shixuan pinched her face, "Do you want to commit suicide?"

Liu Shixuan smiled coldly, "Men, tie her mouth up with a piece of cloth. Don't let her bite her tongue to commit suicide. As long as she does not confess, she will use them one by one until she dies. "

pomegranate's mouth was quickly stuffed. It looked at Liu Shixuan with eyes full of grief and indignation, obviously not expecting him to be so ruthless. Soon the pomegranate was tied to it.

The first one he tried was the iron furnace. He imprinted the red-hot iron on his skin. Xia He trembled in fear as he looked at the pomegranate with a vicious gaze. In his heart, he silently said, "I will definitely avenge you."

The pomegranate cried out loudly. The painful struggles and the sounds of the iron chains wailing could not be heard.

Seeing Xia He's expression, Xuanyuan Yu sneered in her heart.

The few of them walked out. Xuanyuan Yu looked at the absent-minded Xia He and gently said, "You must have been scared witless just now right? Actually, we did not plan to have you accompany us in death. It was just that the situation just now scared her and she had to confess. "

Xia He sneered in his heart. If only pomegranate hadn't confessed just now, there would be another one of her now! He covered his face and said gently, "Thank you, my lady."

Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head and patted her hand. "You're back. Have a good rest."

Xia He bowed slightly, "Many thanks Miss."

Xuanyuan Yu nodded and turned to leave.

Liu Shixuan also nodded at Xia He. Liu Feng also smiled at Xia He. The three of them left together.

Looking at the backs of these three people, the second time Xia He felt such hatred. The first time was when she became a killer and she didn't want to kill anyone, but those people forced her to do so. If they did not obey, they would be beaten to death. In the end, he became a homicidal maniac because he had killed many people and was very outstanding. He was selected by the empress dowager and chosen here, and pomegranate was her blood sister. He watched as his little sister, for his sake, stared at the distant prison. Xia He looked at Xuanyuan Yu's back and it became even more vicious. As if Xuanyuan Yu had seen through it, she suddenly turned her head. He said loudly to Xia He, "Hurry up and go back to rest. Don't be late!" He turned his head and continued walking.

Xia He suddenly felt a little cold, a little creepy. It was too late to think about it further, so he quickly left the place. However, when he turned around and looked at the Celestial Prison, the cold light in his eyes made even the ghosts tremble in fear.

The three of them walked together.

Liu Shixuan suddenly said, "Yu'er, do you feel that Xia He is a little strange?"

Xuanyuan Yu gave a faint smile. Even First Uncle could tell.

Liu Feng also said on the side, "I also feel that it's very strange."

Xuanyuan Yu giggled, "Tell me about it."

Liu Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes at her: "Don't always treat me like a child, I'm your cousin."

"Yes, yes." Xuanyuan Yu firmly nodded her head.

Therefore, he said, "Logically speaking, if your enemy harms you, no matter how pitiful he is, it shouldn't be sympathy, but also hatred and fear. However, I didn't notice these two things from her expression just now.

Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head, "That is indeed the case. "They've been hiding it very well all this time, but now that they've suddenly lost control, I think there must be a connection between her and the pomegranate."

Liu Shixuan nodded, "What if she doesn't admit to it?"

"Then let's kill them together." Xuanyuan Yu lightly said.

Liu Shixuan was unwilling to give up, "What if that person is innocent?"

Xuanyuan Yu raised her brows. "Then let's kill them together as well."

Liu Shixuan was speechless. This little niece was too terrifying.

Liu Feng shook his head in disapproval, "This kind of personality where you would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let a single one go is not good!"

Xuanyuan Yu looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "If it was a hundred, it definitely wouldn't. If it was ten, it wouldn't matter. But if it was two or three, it would …"

Liu Feng angrily said to her, "They are all humans."

Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled, "I know they are human."

Liu Feng was speechless.

Xuanyuan Yu then continued, "I have never been one to cause trouble and I will not randomly kill people. The condition is that they do not provoke me. It's just that when I smelled that Xia He and the pomegranate also had the Wind Leaf Grass, I started to think, maybe there's only one of them, but I also thought just now, these maidservants have been together for so long, after so many years, the matriarch might not be able to find out about it, but these maidservants only know a little about it. Maybe not. Even if he switched out one of them, this pill wouldn't be effective. Furthermore, they had a very good understanding of each other and their relationship was also very good. It was unlikely that they would be unable to discover anything. This could only mean that there was something wrong between her and her. Or one of them. "

Liu Feng stared at her blankly, obviously not expecting her analysis to be so thorough.

Liu Shixuan also looked at her in surprise.

Liu Shixuan suddenly felt bitter. They had always thought that he was a soft persimmon, that he was an unconscious monarch. But now, they finally understood how scheming the emperor was. They had placed a chess piece beside them, a bomb, and the matriarch herself had three bombs.

Just how many of them were pawns of the imperial palace? Would he really have to bury everyone in the Prime Minister's Estate before letting the matter go?

He looked at his father's hostile expression. Liu Feng asked, "Father, what's wrong?"

Liu Shixuan shook his head, "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."

However, he had never shown himself in front of everyone, and the guards outside were still there. There were still three days left, and only three days before the Prime Minister's Estate ran out of food. At that time, it would truly be terrifying.

Seeing that they were not in a good mood, Xuanyuan Yu smiled and said, "Everyone should go back and rest! "If nothing unexpected happens, Matriarch He will wake up tomorrow."

The three of them looked at her and all made a sound of acknowledgment. Then they all went back to their own rooms.

When they returned to the Yanran Pavilion, Xuanyuan Yu felt as if her entire body was going to fall apart.

When the maidservants saw her, they all surrounded her.

Liu Mei looked at her with a wronged expression: "Miss, didn't you say you would come back after taking a walk? How did so many things happen "?

Xuanyuan Yu was just about to return. Then, he heard Wan-Er say, "Stop talking, prepare some food for the little miss. Liu Mei, Yang Liu, you two go get the little miss a bucket of water and bathe her."

"Sigh, a few people are starting to get busy. Seeing them starting to get busy, Xuanyuan Yu also smiled."

Not long after, the food was served. Xuanyuan Yu suddenly felt that the food was very fragrant. Although being in the prison wasn't bad, it was obvious that people's hearts were relaxed and felt exceptionally comfortable. After eating a bowl of rice and drinking a bowl of soup, he felt full. Liu Mei had the strong servant bring the bath up. Hot water was prepared inside. Sprinkle with roses. How fragrant. Not yet. Xuanyuan Yu then said, "I will wash it myself. After I'm done, I will sleep. You guys can carry it yourselves!

The few of them agreed to withdraw.

Xuanyuan Yu took off her clothes and soaked them in the bucket. It was very comfortable. As expected, people can't get used to it. After getting used to a pampered life, they even feel that something isn't right when they occasionally suffer a little bit of hardship. After properly washing themselves, they would lie down on the bed. He fell asleep the moment he laid down on the bed. He had slept very well, but had begun to dream after midnight.

He dreamt that his mother, whom he had never met before, had passed away. Then, he dreamt of being bullied by Xuanyuan Qing and his stepmother. He also dreamt of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In his dream, Ouyang Shaojie had spoken sweet words to him, but he had suddenly stabbed him with a knife. All of the dreams flashed by, and Xuanyuan Yu suddenly woke up from her dream, only to discover that she was sweating cold sweat.

He looked out the window. It was still dark outside and he could not fall asleep. He walked to the window by himself. The cold wind blew. It was already September. The weather had already started to feel slightly cold, but Xuanyuan Yu couldn't feel it. Perhaps it was because she was busy with matters of the Prime Minister's Estate every day, so she should face this person tomorrow. She needed to find him to have a good chat. Regardless of whether the people in the Prime Minister's Estate were good or bad, she had to at least protect her grandmother. She didn't care about others, nor did she care about them.

After staring blankly for a moment and feeling sleepy once more, he walked to the bed and fell asleep. This sleep lasted until the next day.

Night: the Palace of Tzu Ning.

"All of you, go call over Young Jie." The empress dowager sat on a chair as she spoke lazily to Little Fortune.

"Chirp." Little Fortune agreed to go out.

They rode their horses all the way out of the palace and directly arrived at the Fifth Prince's estate.

"Dong Dong." Dong dong.

"It's here, it's here!" When the old uncle opened the door, he saw that it was little Fu. "Aiyo, why is Young Master Fu here? Why are you so late?"

"The empress dowager wants Fifth Brother to enter the palace now, hurry up." Little Fu said anxiously.

The old uncle immediately entered and announced, "Young master, young master!"

Shaojie was currently reading in her study room. When she saw her uncle in such a hurry, she couldn't help but frown. "Uncle, it's already so late. What are you doing in such a hurry?"

The old uncle knew he was being rude and hastened to stand up. "Young master, someone from the palace arrived. Young master Fu, who was by the empress dowager's side, has allowed young master to enter the palace right now!"

Ouyang Shaojie frowned. He obviously knew what was going on. He said to his uncle, "Go to the main hall and entertain Young Master Fu. I'll go and change my clothes."

"Sigh." "Yes," the old man replied.

Ouyang Shaojie directly walked out to change his clothes. At this moment, his brows were tightly knitted, and several maids were helping him change his clothes.

After changing his clothes, he walked straight out. When he reached the main hall, he saw little Fuzi sitting down below, eating tea.

When Little Fu saw Ouyang Shaojie walk in, he cupped his hands and greeted, "Fifth Master."

Ouyang Shaojie nodded. "Let's go."

The two of them entered the palace in a sedan.

Lil 'Fu was the first to walk in. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, Lord Fifth has arrived."

Empress Dowager, she said softly.

Only then did Ouyang Shaojie walk in. "Greetings, Empress Dowager."

The empress dowager pursed her lips into a smile. "Shaojie's here!"

Xiao Fu took the maidservant and left automatically. The door closed.

Seeing that she had left, the empress dowager smiled. "Shaojie, you've done very well."

Ouyang Shaojie pursed his lips. "I don't know why grandma is calling me here so late. What's the matter?"

He looked at Ouyang Shaojie with an expression that was not too friendly. Her Majesty's face changed. Walking down from his seat, he walked up to Ouyang Shaojie. He said in a cold and harsh voice, "Young Jie, up to today, I hope you won't forget how we made it all the way here. "Don't delay matters for the sake of your children's personal relationship."

How could Ouyang Shaojie not understand? He and the empress dowager were direct relatives. Although her mother was very young and spoiled, her beauty had died young. Leave him. Her Majesty had always been good to him, and he knew how much effort they had put into this.

The empress dowager continued, "With so many princes eyeing them covetously, who knows what would happen? Especially the eighth prince, Ouyang Lengxie. Mother's status isn't high, but she's raising such a ruthless son. His influence outside is great and should not be underestimated. "

Ouyang Shaojie nodded. He too, had discovered this matter.

The empress dowager smiled again. "If the Prime Minister's estate falls this time, then your contributions will be of the highest order. When the time comes, I'll blow some wind by the emperor's side." The throne belongs to you. "

Ouyang Shaojie nodded. "Yes."

The empress dowager spoke again, "Last time, that Xuanyuan Yu went to find you."

Ouyang Shaojie knew that many of the people in his mansion were the empress dowager's men, so he didn't hide anything. "Yes, she's looking for me to get the Gold Medal for Exemption."

The empress dowager raised her eyebrows. "She knows you did it."

Ouyang Shaojie didn't deny it.

The empress dowager continued, "In such a short period of time, you were the one who did it, and even went to the estate. It can be seen that this girl is rarely smart. I've seen her methods before. Xuanyuan Zhi is such a cunning person, but he was forced by her to tell her everything. Through the matriarch to find me and the emperor. Find all five of them. This is intertwined, especially to let us so coincidentally hear it. This girl was definitely not an ordinary person. "She cannot stay. If she stays, she will definitely become a huge threat."

Ouyang Shaojie immediately knelt down. She pursed her lips. "Empress Dowager, if the Prime Minister's estate falls. Could he leave Xuanyuan Yu's life "?

The empress dowager looked at him and said sternly, "This won't do. This girl is so young, yet she's so scheming and scheming. It would be a disaster to keep her here in the future. People who do big things must never be soft-hearted. "

Ouyang Shaojie bit his lips. "Grandson will not show mercy."

Her Majesty looked at him and nodded in satisfaction.

"You can leave!"

"Grandson will take his leave." As he spoke, he withdrew.

"Isn't the emperor's name Lord Fifth?" The eunuch at the emperor's side said.

The emperor looked carefully, "It's not Fifth Brother …" Coming out of the Palace at this late hour. He then said, "Let's go to the Palace of Tzu Ning to take a look as well."

"Chirp." The six children followed the emperor towards the palace.

Only then did the mama and maidservants by the empress dowager's side walk in. He returned to his seat.

"Majesty. Do you think the Fifth Prince would listen? "

The empress dowager smiled confidently. "Of course, he will definitely listen. I watched him grow up, so I know his personality very well. The throne was too important to him. Otherwise, how can I make up for the suffering I endured when I was young? "

Beside her, Sun mama gave a flattering smile. "This was even due to the empress dowager. If the empress dowager hadn't intentionally set up such a barrier, the Fifth Prince wouldn't have understood so quickly."

The empress dowager nodded in satisfaction. "I've endured so many years under the Grand Matriarch's sarcasm. If he was not given such a heavy burden, and if he knew that survival was not that easy, how could he have ambitions? Right now, let alone a Xuanyuan Yu, even I have no way to stop his ambitions. "

Sun mama nodded. "But what if I don't listen when the Fifth Prince ascends the throne?"

A cold light flashed in the empress dowager's eyes. "Then —" Just as he was about to speak, the little Fu Zi outside reported, "The Emperor has arrived."

Senior Servant Sun naturally stood to the side.

Her Majesty drank her tea as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the emperor had arrived, he put down the teacup and nodded with a smile.

"See you, Imperial Concubine."

The empress dowager smiled. "The emperor came to sit by This Dowager's side. Why did he come back so late?"

The emperor walked over very naturally and sat down at the side. "Your child won't be able to sleep, so come visit my imperial concubine."

The empress dowager looked at him worriedly. "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty. You have to think for your own health as well."

The emperor smiled faintly and said, "I saw Shao Jie leave this place just now. Why is he so late? He's still at the Palace of Tzu Ning, is there something the matter?"

The empress dowager's expression flickered with dissatisfaction, and a smile appeared on her face, "Sigh, wasn't it all for the matter with the Prime Minister's estate? That Xuanyuan Yu ah, last time she asked Shaojie for a gold medal. Shaojie didn't give it to you because of our imperial family, and now she's very worried about your health, saying she wants to supplement the Emperor."

The emperor smiled in satisfaction. "Young Jie, you're too considerate."

Yes, even I, as a grandmother, was jealous. He said he wanted to give it to you, but he was afraid of making people speechless." So, leave it with me, and give me time to remind the Emperor to eat on time. "Don't work too hard. Just now, he even brought over a bird's nest. Although there is a lot of bird nest here in the royal family, it is rare to find such a heart.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"Among so many princes, Shaojie has the most filial piety."

The empress dowager's face was full of smiles as well. "That's right. Not only is she filial, her talents and abilities are outstanding."

The Emperor nodded.

The emperor's expression didn't look too good. The empress dowager had a straight face as well as she asked, "That Imperial Concubine Liu is still very noisy."

The emperor sighed helplessly. "Ever since the Prime Minister's Estate sent troops over, only she refused to let me into her room. Every day, she would only refuse." He still felt helpless. After all, Imperial Concubine Liu's looks couldn't be compared to ordinary people.

The empress dowager gave a cold snort. "She really did put on airs. The Prime Minister's estate is already getting used to it. For a noble concubine to not let the emperor enter the room and let him sleep with her, it makes her the one I like." He then said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, don't be too infatuated with her. There are so many women in this world." With that, she clapped her hands again. Senior Servant Sun and two other women came up.

The two women dressed very coolly. The undergarment could be seen from the inside. The skirt underneath was also transparent, and the thighs inside could be vaguely seen.

The two women knelt down. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The Emperor immediately felt the blood rush to his head.

The empress dowager looked at the emperor's expression and smiled in satisfaction.

He said to the Emperor, "I'll give these two women to the Emperor."

The emperor laughed excitedly. "This, this. How could he be so embarrassed? "May I trouble Your Majesty?" As he spoke, he glanced at the two women.

The empress dowager smiled gently. "It's only right. There are rooms to the west. Sun mama brought the emperor over. "

The emperor chuckled. "Truly, I'll have to trouble Your Majesty." As he spoke, he put his arm around the woman's shoulders and walked into the house.

The empress dowager smiled coldly as she watched the emperor's back.

When Xuanyuan Yu opened her eyes, she felt that the light outside was exceptionally glaring. "Liu Mei, Yang Liu — —" Xuanyuan Yu shouted.

Not long later, Liu Mei walked in with a smile. "Miss, I've woken up. Do you want me to help you wash?"

Xuanyuan Yu softly replied, "What time is it now?"

Liu Mei's face was full of smiles as she said, "It's almost noon."

Xuanyuan Yu was surprised for a moment. "It's already noon, why didn't you wake me up?"

Liu Mei felt wronged as she said, "We haven't had a good rest recently, so we hope that you can take a good rest. That's why we woke you up."

Xuanyuan Yu wrinkled her brow and said nothing.

Liu Mei was also quietly fixing Xuanyuan Yu's hair.

Neither of them was making fun of the other. They were thinking of their own things.

"Miss, it's done."

Xuanyuan Yu's thoughts were pulled back together. "How is the matriarch?"

"Matriarch has already woken up. Eldest Young Master and the rest are all gone …"

Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head, "I'm not eating anymore. I'll go to the matriarch's place!"

"I'll send you there."

Xuanyuan Yu could not deny it.

After they got familiar with each other, Xuanyuan Yu saw that Wan-Er was also in the living room. Looking at her flushed face, Xuanyuan Yu smiled faintly. It seemed like Wan-Er had made good progress over there, and now that Matriarch had woken up, it was time to talk about their marriage. But thinking about the current situation of the Prime Minister's Estate, Xuanyuan Yu couldn't help but become worried.

He thought for a moment. I'll just ask Wan-Er for her opinion.

"Wan-Er, come in."

After a moment of doubt, Tian'er raised her head to see that Xuanyuan Yu had already entered and followed him in.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

Xuanyuan Yu looked at her and faintly smiled. "How are you and Eldest Uncle doing?"

Warm Child's face turned red. "This …"

Xuanyuan Yu also began to laugh. "Don't be like this. Then, how's the development?"

Seeing her son's expression, Xuanyuan Yu was even more certain.

He continued, "I can also tell that first uncle is very considerate towards you. And all of you know each other when you're young, so I want to mention it to Matriarch He so that you can get married!?

Wan-Er's eyes widened as she said in surprise, "Really?"

Xuanyuan Yu looked at her and gave her a warm smile.

At this moment, Xun Er also showed the shy side of a young woman.

She knew their feelings were deep, deep. However, he still hesitated for a moment before saying, "However, you also know about the matter of the Prime Minister's Estate. If you follow my uncle, you will be implicated one day."

Wan-Er looked at the little girl in front of her. He held her hand and said firmly, "We have already experienced so much, if we can be together now, of course it would be for the best, even if it is only for a short time. Moreover, no matter what the pain is, I am not afraid to go through it. I felt relaxed. Do you know? The power of love is greater than all, and even greater than death. "

Xuanyuan Yu looked at her shining eyes and suddenly felt that she was so happy. How could she not know that the power of love was greater than anything else? She had also loved him deeply! His heart felt a little stuffy. Afraid that her emotions would reveal themselves, Xuanyuan Yu hurriedly added, "Then if I bring up this matter with Matriarch today, you go with me."

Warm seemed to have received a lot of confidence as she nodded her head heavily.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Wan-Er suddenly said, "Miss —"

Xuanyuan Yu raised her clear eyes and looked at her.

"Thank you."

Xuanyuan Yu laughed, "What kind of relationship do we have, we even need to thank each other. Let's go!"

Xuanyuan Yu walked in front and looked at her back. She suddenly felt her heart ache. She had watched her grow up, and she wanted to ask if she was sad, to cry out loud, but when she saw her clear eyes, she suddenly didn't want to break her disguise, so she could only use other words to get by. Seeing Xuanyuan Yu's figure walk off into the distance, Wen'er retracted her emotions and followed.

Walking to the outer room, Xuanyuan Yu said to Liu Mei who was waiting there: "You stay here, I'll go with you."

Liu Mei looked at Xun Er and smiled. She respectfully said, "Yes."

Seeing Liu Mei like this. Xuanyuan Yu knew that everything was known by her again, but it wasn't strange for her to know it. It was originally Little Ling Tong, and now the few of them probably knew about it.

As she followed behind Xuanyuan Yu, she was extremely nervous.

When they arrived at the main hall, Xuanyuan Yu glanced behind her at Xun Er. Her hand gripped the handkerchief in her hand tightly as she stirred it. Xuanyuan Yu knew that she was very nervous and that anyone else would be very nervous. She patted her hands.

Wan-Er smiled at her as if she had been infected by her, and suddenly felt less nervous.

The two of them walked inside.

Before he even entered, he heard people talking and laughing inside.

"Matriarch, it's all right now, but it scared us all."

"That's right! Lord Third, I can't sleep every night. I'm always worried about the matriarch."

He then heard Second Madam say, "Second Master is also busy every day. "Just keep the house in order."

The corners of Xuanyuan Yu's mouth hooked up into a mocking smile. Since the matriarch was ill, they decided to fight for her services.

After entering the room and seeing that the matriarch was still lying on the bed, Xuanyuan Yu happily smiled and said, "Matriarch …" As he spoke, he quickly walked towards the bed.

"To the old mistress."

Matriarch He's face was full of smiles as well as she said in heartache, "What peace! Come over and let me have a look!"

Xuanyuan Yu felt the matriarch's sincere smile. With a sweet smile, she walked over.

The matriarch looked at Xuanyuan Yu with a pained expression and said, "He definitely didn't eat properly. Look at him, he's gotten skinnier." Good child, I know all about you. My old life was saved by you. I've let you suffer! "

Xuanyuan Yu slightly smiled. "There's nothing to be sad about. As long as Matriarch's illness recovers, it's fine. Otherwise, our entire family will be worried."

The matriarch chuckled. "You sure know how to talk."

Xuanyuan Yu affectionately smiled. Lying in Matriarch He's arms. Now that he saw Matriarch He, he felt very close to her. She was his closest kin in this world.

The Second Madam, the Third Madam, also felt a little awkward when she saw Xuanyuan Yu. After all, she didn't know what they had planned, so she forced them to work together to chase her out, but when she saw her sitting next to the matriarch and leaning into the matriarch's embrace, the resentment in her heart rose again. What right did a granddaughter with another surname surpass her own grandson?

Third Madam sneered. "Niece is really pampered. Everyone heard that Matriarch woke up today and came over early. As for you, Yu'er, it was noon and Matriarch was still so nice to you. Her fate is really good!"

Xuanyuan Yu could hear the mockery and sourness in her words. However, this time, when Xuanyuan Yu had spoken, someone had already spoken.

The matriarch's face darkened. "I already know about what happened in the past few days. If it weren't for Yu'er, my old life would have been gone. It's one thing for you elders to be inferior to this junior, but also for your character." I know exactly what you guys did to Yu'er. As long as I'm here, no one can bully Yu'er. "Do you hear me?" The matriarch's words were filled with authority.

The person standing below answered unwillingly, "Yes."

Xuanyuan Yu's heart felt warm. No matter what, she still had an matriarch who doted on her.

The matriarch looked at her and said with a sigh, "The good child has been wronged."

Xuanyuan Yu's heart was suddenly moved and there were tears welling up in her eyes, but Xuanyuan Yu resisted the urge to let them out and choked with sobs as she said, "Your granddaughter is fine!" She hadn't cried for so many days. She had been holding on and holding on. However, the matriarch's words had caused her mental defenses to collapse.

Xuanyuan Yu raised her head and looked at the warm girl beside her.

He pulled her over and said to Matriarch He, "Matriarch, this is Wan-Er."

Matriarch He glanced at Wan-Er, her heart filled with an indescribable feeling. The expression on her face grew rather unfriendly.

Xuanyuan Yu and Wan-Er could both see it.

Liu Shixuan had not spoken a word since the beginning. Now that he saw Xuanyuan Yu push Wen Er out, he felt excited and walked out to greet the matriarch, "Matriarch, your son and Wan-Er are in agreement. I hope Matriarch He will grant my wish."

Third Wife shouted, "What, Big Brother, you've taken a fancy to a maid? It's good to have her in your room."

Wan-Er's heart tightened and she became nervous.

Liu Shixuan did not look good either, continuing, "Not as a concubine, but as a lady."

What? Big brother, are you crazy? She's just a maid, how could she be a lady? Even being a concubine is a compliment." After that, he looked at Dong-er and sneered, "You sure are capable. Even though you are already a middle-aged woman, you still managed to enchant big brother.

Liu Hao went up and grabbed her hand, "What's going on with you, can't you be more obedient?"

The Third Madam pulled out her hand. "Why am I so restless? The one being a lady is not the young miss, and the Prime Minister's Estate is a hundred years old Prominent Class. How can I find a servant girl to be a lady? Wouldn't it be a joke if word of this got out?"

Liu Shixuan smiled coldly, "Hundred years old Prominent Class. Let's go outside and take a look at the guards."

The third wife paused for a moment and said: "Even so, the position of young master Liu's wife is not occupied by a maid." She then looked at Liu Hao and said. Big brother married a maid as his wife, yet you didn't help to persuade him, and are still criticizing me. "I see that you were also scared witless by that niece of yours."

"Shut up!" As the matriarch spoke savagely, she slammed the blanket next to her onto the ground.

The Third Madam was shocked.

The matriarch looked at her and said loudly, "I'm not dead yet. Why, who's in charge of this house?"

The third wife was a little afraid. "Of course the matriarch is the matriarch!"

The matriarch waved her hand and said to Liu Hao, "How did you discipline your wife?" It would only be a true shame if word of this got out. A young miss of the House was like a shrew, forcing others to do so. If you feel that the position of the Third Madam has been wronged, we can send you back and continue to be your daughter. "

The third mistress was truly frightened. Was the matriarch planning to divorce her? Absolutely not. He would be ridiculed if he did. He immediately kneeled on the ground, his face filled with fear. "I understand, Matriarch. I won't dare to speak carelessly again. Please forgive me, I really know my wrongs. Please don't give up on me, I really can't live on like that!" His head thumped on the ground.

The matriarch sighed and said to Liu Hao, "Take your wife down." "Clean her thoughts properly, don't think all day long about harming people and learn how to use a woman's ring."

Liu Hao cupped his hands, "Yes." He then led the third wife out.

The matriarch's gaze shifted to the second matron. Looking at the matriarch's eyes, which could control everything, she suddenly felt cold sweat trickling down her back. She smiled obsequiously and looked at her husband for help. However, Liu Ming looked to the side and didn't see her eyes at all. Second Madam felt even more embarrassed. Thus, she said, "Matriarch, do you want to have lunch? I'll have the maidservants pass the food over."

The matriarch glanced at her but didn't reply. "On the contrary, you should tell me everything. Yu'er is my granddaughter, and now that she has come to the Prime Minister's Estate, she is a part of it. As long as I am here, I will absolutely not allow anyone to bully my granddaughter. He then looked sternly at the Second Madam. If there is anyone who wishes to commit a crime in the Residence of Ye, then we, the Prime Minister, cannot afford to keep such a person here. Wherever there is a good place, we will go! "

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They all knew that the matriarch doted on Xuanyuan Yu, but they didn't know it was like this.

This was especially true for the second wife. Of course she knew that Matriarch He was referring to her and the third wife. If they were to bully Xuanyuan Yu, the matriarch would definitely not let them off.

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.

Xuanyuan Yu's heart was filled with emotions as she looked at the matriarch. She had not expected the matriarch to love her so much. His nose twitched again. Normally, she rarely cried, but today, she had the urge to cry.

The matriarch said to everyone, "All of you can leave. I want to rest now. Yu'er and Xuan'er, you two stay behind."

"Yes." Everyone withdrew, leaving only the three of them.

The matriarch glanced at Liu Shixuan, "Are you sure you want to marry her?"

Liu Shixuan's face was filled with anxiety, "Yes, I shall marry her!"

Matriarch He glanced at Wan-Er again.

He turned to Xuanyuan Yu and said, "Yu'er, leave this maid here for me for a few days. Look at the maid beside me, after all these things have happened and there's no one who can be at ease, let her stay and take care of me!"

Xuanyuan Yu also felt very sad. He also knew that the matriarch was trying to give a chance to Wan-Er, so he answered, "Yes!" She suddenly felt rather uncomfortable. She could tell that Matriarch He didn't like Warm Child very much. Now that Matriarch He had woken up and caused such a thing, she suddenly felt rather guilty.

The matriarch seemed to see her expression. He joked, "What's wrong?" I can't bear to part with your maidservant, for fear that my old woman will bully her. "

Xuanyuan Yu hurriedly shook her head. "Of course not. I just think that the matriarch treats Yu'er too well …"

Matriarch He smiled benevolently. "Sigh. If I hadn't been so stubborn back then, maybe — I shook my head again after thinking about it. Then I said to Liu Shixuan and Yu'er, "I've just woken up and I'm still a little tired. You guys should worry about the matters of the mansion."

"Yes, that grandmother is resting. If anything happens, remember to call us."

Matriarch He smiled faintly.

Xuanyuan Yu looked at the matriarch's head of white hair and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. However, at this moment, she lowered her head and walked out. She was unwilling to allow others to see her expression.

The two of them walked out.

When they arrived at the garden, Xuanyuan Yu looked around and said, "Uncle, I want to go out for a trip."

Liu Shixuan looked at her for a long time before saying, "You're looking for Ouyang Shaojie."

Xuanyuan Yu also knew that she couldn't hide it from him, so she said with a wry smile, "I know that the food in our household won't last more than two days, and the empress dowager and the emperor aren't planning on letting us go either. As for the matriarch's two golden medallions, only the golden medallion that Matriarch gave me knows the whereabouts.

Liu Shixuan frowned. He knew how many people were lurking in the shadows right now. If he wanted to leave, it would be even harder than ascending to the heavens. If he could leave, he would have directly slaughtered his way to the imperial palace. He had pointed a sword at the emperor's neck and told him to release the Prime Minister's estate, but there was no way out now.

Xuanyuan Yu looked at Liu Shixuan's expression and knew that the situation was more troublesome than she had imagined.

Liu Shixuan looked at the little girl and sighed. After a while, he said, "Yu'er, I'm afraid the Prime Minister's estate really can't take it anymore. The empress dowager and the emperor are even more ruthless than we thought. If the food was lost, then that would be the most terrifying situation. When the time came, the mansion would become a pot of porridge, and everyone would rebel. At that time, the empress dowager and the emperor would kill everyone in a fair and square manner. In fact, they could all kill the people from the Prime Minister's Estate right now, but now that they're killed, the price they have to pay is also heavy. Only when everyone was thrown into disarray, crumbled, and turned into a pot of porridge.

When she heard Liu Shixuan's words, Xuanyuan Yu was moved as well. She had understood this matter, and only now did she understand that there was a need to leave the house, Ouyang Shaojie was their only hope, their only hope to save the Prime Minister's house. If she did not go now, she would soon see the situation Liu Shixuan was talking about. There was no way at all.

Xuanyuan Yu still said, "First Uncle, many of the guards outside are under your command. If you go and say —"

Liu Shixuan shook his head, "I am their general, but their lives are truly in the hands of the emperor. If they come to help me, when the time comes, they will rebel, and their clans will be executed."

At this moment, Xuanyuan Yu's heart could be considered completely cold. At first, she had thought that the soldiers were loyal, but now, she knew that she was wrong. Those who followed Liu Shixuan to their deaths could very well turn into those who slaughtered Liu Shixuan's family members. It was no wonder that all the generals from ancient times, except for complaining on his behalf, had done nothing to help him when he died. If anything happened to them, they could help her out, but they couldn't really help him.

Liu Shixuan saw the expression on Xuanyuan Yu's face and knew that he had frightened her. He consoled her, "When the boat arrives at the bridge, it will naturally come to an end. Perhaps the empress dowager and the emperor will come to an understanding and know that the Prime Minister's residence has no intention of conspiring against us."

It had already been who knows how many years since the empress dowager and the emperor had placed so many chess pieces at their side. Their determination to eradicate the Prime Minister's estate was absolute, they definitely wouldn't let them off this time, they wanted to force everyone in the Prime Minister's estate to their deaths. In fact, if they wanted to let them off, they could just directly send people from the Prime Minister's Estate to their homes, but they weren't at ease.

Covering his face, he also smiled and said, "Yes, perhaps it will be fine."

Liu Shixuan smiled bitterly. He walked straight ahead.

Xuanyuan Yu dejectedly looked at the lake before her. She had never felt such despair before. She definitely had to help the Prime Minister's Palace. If the latter really did die, then it was because of her. After all, she was the one who took the golden plate, so her tears fell on the lake.

Liu Feng walked past the garden and saw Xuanyuan Yu's tear-stained expression. She wore a set of white clothes and her hair naturally fell onto her shoulders. Her facial features were absolutely beautiful and there were even a few tears on her eyes. Liu Feng couldn't help but have a thought as he walked over.

Xuanyuan Yu suddenly saw a handkerchief in front of her. She raised her head and saw Liu Feng's smiling face and felt that she had lost her composure. He quickly took the handkerchief and said, "Thank you."

Liu Feng smiled, "Is crying more comfortable?"

Xuanyuan Yu's face couldn't help but turn red. He nodded, "Yes."

Seeing Xuanyuan Yu's bashful expression, Liu Feng's mood could not help but turn good.

Liu Feng looked at her again and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Xuanyuan Yu was doubtful for a moment, but then laughed and said, "I'm afraid not. "It's just that this matter started because of me. No matter what, that gold medal was given to me by Matriarch He."

Liu Feng looked at her and quietly said, "Actually, I don't blame you. "If your gold medallion wasn't stolen by Ouyang Shaojie, it will disappear along with the matriarch's two gold medals."

Xuanyuan Yu stared blankly for a moment, clearly not expecting Liu Feng to say this.

Liu Feng continued, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you. It seems like the empress dowager and the emperor have spent a lot of time and effort in the palace. Just the two maidservants by the matriarch's side are enough to know." And now that we are on such a large scale, even if it is the [Inescapable Net], no one can get out. "

Xuanyuan Yu gave a faint smile. This cousin of hers who seemed very serious was also someone who cared about her! Even though this was the case, Xuanyuan Yu did not want to shirk her responsibilities and resolutely said, "I must get the gold back."

Liu Feng turned his head to look at her determined face and her pair of eyes. They were filled with light and he couldn't help but smile.

"Now that the weather has turned cold, let me send you back!"

Xuanyuan Yu nodded.

The two of them walked along the gravel path. It was autumn now, and the sky was filled with falling leaves. There were also maple leaves on the ground. Very beautiful, Xuanyuan Yu's mood also improved for no reason.

Liu Feng looked at the little girl beside him. For the first time, he felt happy to be walking with someone else. At this moment, the originally ordinary fallen leaves seemed to have taken on a new color.

Xuanyuan Yu gazed at the lake at her side. He watched as the fallen leaves followed the river. Xuanyuan Yu asked, "Cousin, where did this lake go?"

Liu Feng knew she would ask: "You don't have to have this idea, this river leads to the Tiger City Bridge. But I think we should already have troops on guard. "

Xuanyuan Yu was stunned for a moment. Could it be that they couldn't even pass through this road?

Xuanyuan Yu was unwilling, but still asked, "How big is the moat?"

"The moat is a kilometer deep, and we paddled our way from here. He should be able to leave. This time, they're going all out against the Prime Minister's estate and won't give me a chance to counterattack, not to mention that it's such a big weakness. I and my father all thought that the empress dowager and the emperor must have sent troops outside.

Xuanyuan Yu clearly did not think about this. They had even thought about this, what should they do now, what should they do. There were only two days left. If they really ran out of food, the consequences would be dire.

Liu Feng looked at her anxious expression. Even he himself felt helpless.

Xuanyuan Yu resolutely said, "Is the moat a busy city?"

"En, the moat is the busiest place in Heavenly Stellar Kingdom, and there are usually a lot of people here. It's the busiest city, and there are a lot of people."

Xuanyuan Yu gave a bright smile, "There are a lot of them."

"Yes, very much." Liu Feng said with certainty.

Xuanyuan Yu nodded and said to Liu Feng, "How is your martial arts?" She knew this question and could only feel it. She could not ask. But now, she couldn't care about that anymore and directly asked Liu Feng.

Liu Feng obviously did not expect her to ask this directly.
