But Zhang Yuniang's reaction was unexpected by Qin Jingshu.

"Since Duke Xian doesn't know how to be a good father, then we should stay away from him." Zhang Yunniang said.

Niu Niu happily responded.

Qin Jingshu looked at it dumbfounded: Is this...just like this? There was no accusation or blame. Without asking about the situation, he had unconditionally chosen to believe his daughter.

Seeing the tenderness in Zhang Yunniang's eyes, Qin Jingshu felt extremely sour in her heart. She kept thinking in her heart, is this what a real mother is like?

She recalled that whether it was Duke Xianguo's wife or the second wife, if she heard that she disobeyed the emperor and disobeyed her father, she was afraid that there would be no good end waiting for her.

"Mom, why don't you ask me what happened today?" Niu Niu asked proactively.

Zhang Yunniang nodded: "I've been waiting for you to tell me."

Niu Niu sighed after hearing this: "I'm still waiting for you to ask questions, but it's boring for you to do this."

Zhang Yunniang immediately cooperated with her daughter's thoughts and asked: "Baby, please, tell me what happened today. I really, really want to know."

This coaxing tone made Niu Niu particularly happy. She put her hands behind her back and walked like a little teacher, shaking her head and talking about what happened today.

After Zhang Yuniang heard the cause and effect, although she felt that Duke Xian was too tough and made her daughter unhappy, she still had a doubt in her mind.

"Good boy, don't you like His Majesty very much? Why are you so resistant to him today?" Zhang Yunniang asked.

When Niuniu thought of the old emperor's face, she immediately felt disgusted: "He has changed! He was good before, but now I let Duke Xian be the bad guy, and he is waiting to be the good guy. I'm not happy!"

Zhang Yuniang didn't think through all these twists and turns at first, but when she thought about it carefully, after thinking about the emperor's actions three times in her mind, she finally understood.

"We Niuniu are smart and can always see the truth clearly at a glance." Zhang Yuniang praised.

Niu Niu stood up proudly and said, "I can see very clearly. I will be like my father in the future, and I will also solve cases and catch bad guys!"

Zhang Yuniang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and asked in a tactful way: "Now you feel that His Majesty is not very good to you?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously.

Zhang Yunniang's heart sank.

She and her husband had long determined that there was something special about Niuniu. If Niuniu didn't like someone, the fault must be with this person.

It's just that the person Niu Niu hates now is today's emperor, a person who no one can resist.

If it continues like today, and the emperor insists on forcing Niuniu to do something she doesn't like, Zhang Yunniang doesn't know if she and Gu Mingda can stop her.

"When you come back today, are you so sure that the big dark horse can take you back to the city safely?" Zhang Yunniang asked again.

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she immediately cheered up. She thought of other things to fool her around. Niu Niu was probably going to be scolded for this matter, so she was ready to help Niu Niu speak in front of her mother.

Who knew, Niuniu just nodded casually: "Dahei is very spiritual, he can understand everything you say to him."

Zhang Yunniang immediately stopped asking any more questions and coaxed the two children to play with Xie Xingchuan before she hurried into the study.

Both husband and wife unconditionally believed in Niu Niu's intuition, and their faces were filled with sadness for a while.

"Why does His Majesty change just when he says so? In the past, he loved Niu Niu as much as his daughter. How did it change so quickly?" Zhang Yunniang couldn't help complaining.

Gu Mingda still remembered that last year, he had seen the emperor and Niu Niu getting along. They were no different from father and daughter. Niu Niu also trusted and relied on the emperor at that time. Suddenly a light flashed in his mind, vaguely like he had grasped something.

"Queen Mother!" Gu Mingda said.

Zhang Yunniang's eyes lit up: "Niuniu still likes the Queen Mother very much. If there is a conflict between Niuniu and Your Majesty, you can ask the Queen Mother to mediate."

Gu Mingda lowered his voice: "Niuniu doesn't like His Majesty. There is nothing wrong with Niuniu. She can still ride the big black horse back to the city safely today. Obviously she has not lost her special abilities, so the fault will only be with Your Majesty."

Gu Mingda only dared to talk about such treacherous words in private.

Zhang Yunniang's eyes were full of horror: "Could it be that your Majesty...is a different person? Just like Niuniu and Jingshu, he was transferred to someone else?"

Gu Mingda:......

Gu Mingda took a deep breath and said: "His Majesty's care for Niu Niu has not diminished, and the Emperor is heavily guarded. Even if there is someone in the world who has the same face as His Majesty, it will not be so easy to sway her."

Zhang Yunniang was puzzled: "Since it wasn't a transfer, why did Niuniu change her attitude towards him so much? I've noticed the difference, but now Niuniu is afraid to avoid him, wishing she could stay three feet away from him."

Gu Mingda hesitated, but still said: "People change. From last year to this year, I don't know what your Majesty has experienced or what he has been thinking about."

Gu Mingda carefully thought about what had happened in the past year. His Majesty had been assassinated twice, and the previous dynasty had also gone through a round of purges. Concubine Li was missing from the harem, and Princess Bao'er and Concubine Shun were added to the harem.

Logically speaking, Gu Mingda felt that His Majesty should not have made such a big change. After all, having another daughter would offset all other bad things.

"Is it because you want to keep Niuniu in the palace and raise more children for him?" Zhang Yunniang asked.

Gu Mingda shook his head. If he really wanted to keep Niu Niu in the palace, he could have said it directly, instead of doing it like today.

The searcher might think that what happened today was a coincidence, but Gu Mingda always felt that the emperor did it deliberately.

Obviously, they can meet every day in the palace. Could it be that he really likes Niu Niu so much that he has to run outside the palace to meet her by chance?

Moreover, Gu Mingda also felt that the meeting place was weird, as if he was deliberately avoiding the Gu family, and the logic of his behavior was also very strange.

If the other party was not the emperor, Gu Mingda would have guessed whether the emperor was guilty, so he did not dare to face the Gu family directly.

However, Niu Niu did not look like she was hurt. After all, this child has a mouth, and she will tell her parents immediately if she is uncomfortable.

"The Queen Mother's attitude this year is also very strange. Niu Niu said that in the past, the Queen Mother would try her best to let her stay for a while in the palace. This year, if the Queen Mother has nothing else to do, she will no longer find reasons to keep Niu Niu." Gu Mingda was also very puzzled when he talked about this.

The Queen Mother did not stop rewarding Niu Niu this year. Obviously, she did not ignore Niu Niu, the fake granddaughter, just because she had more biological granddaughters. Gu Mingda also knew better than anyone how likable Niu Niu was, so the Queen Mother's behavior seemed very strange.

"Queen Mother, do you think there is danger in the palace and let Niu Niu go home early when it gets dark?" Zhang Yunniang felt a little stupid after saying this.

But Gu Mingda nodded: "Maybe you are right."
