"You! Don't slander me! "
Xuanyuan Yu could no longer hold it in and snapped. However, when he looked at Little Hour, he realized that she had already lowered her head. Worried that he might implicate Xiaoxiao, he stole a glance at his and could only lower his head helplessly.
"Impudent!" He was no small fry, he really was what kind of mother taught him. It's no wonder that there are some people who only care about the big ones and never see what the little one is doing. " The empress was furious as she scolded Imperial Concubine Mei without restraint in front of the emperor, a look of complacency on her face.
How could Xuanyuan Yu listen to these words? He immediately stood up, wanting to argue with the empress. However, when they saw the anger in their royal father's eyes, they obediently knelt down.
The empress stepped forward, a cold smile flashing across her face as she spoke again, "Your majesty, you can't be too benevolent!"
"This …" The emperor felt that this conclusion was unfair to Yu'er. He glanced at her for a moment, hoping that she would make a move.
How would Xiaoxiao dare to say anything? Right now, she was in front of her father. If she let him see that she was uncultured, it would be difficult for her to pretend to be pitiful or sympathetic in the future.
Moreover, Xuanyuan Yu was indeed in the courtyard last night and had waited an entire night. Speaking of which, this kid was really loyal. He didn't even mention it.
What should he do? What should he do?
If she didn't save him, she would lose her sense of loyalty.
Eyes rolling, she saw snowballs rolling at the emperor's feet. An idea occurred to her, and she kicked it while no one was watching.
Wuu!" "Wu wu wu!
Snow Ball suddenly turned around. Its body had curled up for too long, causing it to roll down the stairs to the empress's feet with a "dong dong dong" sound.
The queen took a few steps back, trying to keep her distance.
However, the snowball seemed to have smelled something on the Queen's nose. Its eyes flickered with killing intent as it approached step by step, revealing its sharp teeth in a violent manner.
At that moment, just as Snowball was about to jump up and pounce on him … In a flash, Xuanyuan Ye grabbed Snowball and soothingly stroked his little head.
"Huang …" "Your Majesty, this thing …" The empress was so scared that she began to sweat profusely. She looked at the snowball in Ye'er's arms with fear and had already forgotten to punish Xuanyuan Yu.
"What retribution! Even an animal can smell the scent of a bad person, you snowball are awesome! " Xuanyuan Yu knelt on the ground and sneered gloatingly.
"You!" The empress's entire body trembled in anger as she pointed at Xuanyuan Yu and was about to curse.
Seeing how angry Snowball was, he was a little confused. He had originally wanted to hug Snowball back, but he didn't want to get too close to Xuanyuan Ye. He could only continue to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
"Your majesty, if you don't speak words of justice now, chenqie won't listen." The empress was so angry that her face turned green, and she began to act coquettishly towards the emperor.
The emperor was still silent. He didn't understand why Snowball hated the empress so much.
"Imperial Mother, Snowball did not do it on purpose. Imperial Mother, please don't be angry anymore." Xuanyuan Ye lightly patted the snowball in anger. Looking at the murderous intent in its eyes, he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Woo woo!" The more Snowball looked at the Queen, the angrier he became, and he attempted to break free from Xuanyuan Ye's embrace.
Xuanyuan Ye forcefully held it down and shook his head as he looked at it. Snowball looked into his gentle eyes and gradually relaxed.
Xiaoxiao saw that Snowball was in a slightly frantic state, and panicked in her heart. However, she still did not dare to approach Xuanyuan Ye's side.
"Your majesty, this little thing is so ferocious. It would be impolite to stay by your side." The empress was still unwilling to give up as she approached the emperor with great difficulty to persuade him.
"Yo!" What did Big Sister do to make Snowball hate you so much? " Right at this moment, Imperial Concubine Mei arrived in time to stand before the empress with her head held high and her chest puffed out.
The more Xuanyuan Zhenhua looked at it, the more baffled he became. He had never seen a snowball attack a human before. Just what was going on with this docile little fellow today?
He heaved a long sigh and stretched out his hand, allowing Eunuch Lin to help him down the stairs.
"Your majesty, you have to seek justice for chenqie. chenqie only wants to help you find the true culprit of the fire, wuwuwu …" Cry if you can't say it. This was a trick the empress often used.
If it were any other time, Xuanyuan Zhenhua would have stepped forward to coax him. But now, with so many people present, and the two girls fighting each other, how could he possibly shift his body away from her.
"Your Majesty, Yu'er was with chenqie last night." He talked about marrying an imperial concubine for an entire night, afraid that you would get angry, so he didn't say anything. You see, big sister has this so-called weakness and wants to punish Yu'er. "Why can't she ask Jie Er and Ye'er where they went last night?" When Imperial Concubine Mei saw that her son had been bullied, the rage that had been suppressed between her and the empress was reignited. She became so flamboyant that she almost put her hands on her hips and became a shrew.
She only had one thought as she looked at Imperial Concubine Mei — awesome!
However, the empress quickly added, "Little sister is Yu'er's mother, who knows if I should protect him or not?"
"You!" Imperial Concubine Mei puffed up her cheeks in anger.
When the emperor heard this, he felt the same way. He busied himself asking who had done it, but he didn't ask in detail where the other two lads had gone last night.
"Father, your son was practicing his sword alone in the courtyard last night." Xuanyuan Jie answered without waiting for the emperor to speak.
Upon hearing that, Imperial Concubine Mei answered, "You say there's only one person, who can prove it? Don't tell me it's your mother! "
"You!" This time it was the Empress who was speechless.
Thus, the two women glared at each other. If there were two swords, it would definitely be a very intense scene.
"Enough!" The emperor hated this kind of atmosphere the most, and he also hated this kind of atmosphere the most.
"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"
"Please calm your anger royal father!"
No one dared to make a sound. Only Snowball, who was unafraid of death, broke free from Xuanyuan Ye's embrace and looked innocently into the emperor's mouth. "Woo woo woo!"
Bending over, Xuanyuan Zhenhua picked up the snowball in Xuanyuan Ye's arms and gently lectured, "Little thing, you have to be nicer to everyone from now on, do you understand?"
"Woo woo!"
The anger in Snowball's eyes had already disappeared. He used his face to prop up the emperor's embrace, teasing the emperor until he finally revealed his true colors.
When it climbed up to the emperor's shoulder, it looked at the empress with murderous intent. Very deep, very heavy, very terrifying!
Xiaoxiao saw it and noticed the expression on the empress's face. She immediately understood. Ye Zichen sneaked a glance at the surroundings, and didn't seem to see her around. It seemed like Pingfei was right. She was severely injured, and it was her fault that all those girls had their blood sucked dry.
It was not just small, even Eunuch Lin noticed the killing intent in Snowball's eyes. In order to prevent the emperor from noticing Ni Duan, he came to a sudden realization and approached the emperor with a frown. He asked very softly, "Your majesty, about the consort selection?"
"Pass my orders, set up a place in the Palace of Mysteries, and continue with the talent show!" "Little one, today you have decided on a date. You can marry her right away." Xuanyuan Zhenhua shouted. He had no intention of stopping the selection. All he wanted was to find the culprit and punish him.
Xiaoxiao, who had originally wanted to see a joke, became the most guilty one. Because the three men had appeared before her eyes last night, she had to remain silent to avoid any big trouble.
Noticing that Xiaoxiao had not made a sound, the Emperor looked at her curiously. Strange, why did this girl have no words to say in the end?
"Humph!" Eunuch Lin harrumphed.
Xiaoxiao finally returned to her senses and took a step forward, bowing respectfully. "I will listen to Imperial Father's arrangements!"
"What other ideas do you have?" Xuanyuan Zhenhua looked at his three sons and then at the two women. His gaze stopped at the empress, "Empress, what suggestions do you have?"
"Your Majesty, chenqie …" "No, everything depends on the emperor." The empress wanted to say something, but swallowed her words back down her throat when she saw the look in her eyes.
"Where's Imperial Concubine Mei?" Xuanyuan Zhenhua looked at Imperial Concubine Mei.
Imperial Concubine Mei was not stupid, he would not show his head. He cleared his throat and replied in an extremely gentle tone, "Chenqie has always believed in the emperor's unique gaze. This time, I have Xiaoxiao by my side. Chenqie believes that I will definitely find a good concubine for Yu'er."
Towards this answer, Xuanyuan Zhenhua was still somewhat satisfied. Waving his hand, he said, "Apart from Little Qiao, everyone else can go! "This time, we will not pursue this matter. No one is allowed to bring it up!"
"Yes sir!"
Seeing that everyone had left, Xiaoxiao finally could not hold back her curiosity and asked, "Why does royal father not pursue the matter anymore?"
"Sigh …" The Emperor Xuanyuan Zhenhua sighed and murmured, "I'm getting old, and I'm getting more and more useless. I can't even catch a murderer, and I've even made a mess of things."
"Father, where are you old? Maybe it really wasn't them, but those girls who accidentally lost their temper. " Xiaoxiao pouted and shook her royal father's arm mischievously, giving Eunuch Lin a look.
"Lin Zi also said so, but my royal father does not believe that there are so many coincidences under the heavens. But, seeing that their three sons do not seem to be the ones who took action, it's really hard to judge! " Xuanyuan Zhenhua had no choice but to admit that he was old. If Qi'er had been here, such a thing might not have happened.
"Royal Father, it could be said that there is no such thing as a book. royal father, don't think about it. Even though he spoke in such a comforting manner, he was still suspecting that there was a hidden hand behind the words.
But, who was the 'black hand'? For what purpose? She wouldn't be able to figure it out even if she scratched her head.
"Ai …" "We can only forget about it, otherwise those two women would make me uneasy." Xuanyuan Zhenhua thought, other than giving up, he had no other choice.
"Father …" She playfully shook his royal father's arm and caressed Snowball's little head. Unexpectedly, she saw a trace of anger in the little fellow's eyes.
When Eunuch Lin saw this, he spoke up as well. "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Look …"
"Let's go!" "Finish the battle quickly, so as to not cause too much trouble." However, he didn't want the knot in his heart to continue to grow bigger, so he hugged Snowball and left the hall.
At this moment, two groups of people were standing on opposite sides of the hall. The empress clenched her teeth as she pulled at the handkerchief in her hands, staring at the departing back of Xiaoxiao and the emperor with hatred. Imperial Concubine Mei looked at the empress's anger, a proud expression on her face.
The three kids, on the other hand, raised their hearts to their throats in excitement as they stared fixedly at their backs, feeling an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
After the empress and Imperial Concubine Mei left, the three brothers met again. Xuanyuan Jie very straightforwardly asked, "Who set the fire?"
"I wouldn't do that." Xuanyuan Ye coldly replied, the gaze he used to look at his second brother was very firm.
"No, no, no! "It's not Yu'er. No matter how foolish he is, I wouldn't dare to act so brazenly even if you gave me a hundred guts." Xuanyuan Yu shook his head and waved her hands, looking at them with an extremely wronged expression.
