After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

Xuanji frowned at the sourness of the yam cake, and only recovered after drinking a whole cup of sweet milk tea.

But I saw my friend staring at the thick confession, deep in thought and silent.

After struggling for a long time, Xuan Ji decided to ask directly: "You won't stop me?"

As the last note fell, the fire in the purple clay furnace burned brightly, almost burning Ah Bao's fingertips. She came back to her senses and said in a daze, "We previously sent scouts to investigate the twelve sons of King Xiao. The only ones who were completely innocent and worth saving were Xiao Six and Xiao Ten."

But Xiao Yunzheng killed all his brothers and sisters and put the blame on Princess Xiao.

Once this matter is exposed, it is only a matter of time before Prince Xiao's Mansion falls apart.

By then, it will do her no harm.

Po suddenly thought of the old emperor.

If it were the old emperor, he would have stood idly by and collected evidence, waiting for Xiao Yunzheng's plot to be settled before launching a fatal blow.

A Bao's uncharacteristic silence made Xuan Ji and Xie Wuai look at each other in confusion.

Xie Wuai was outspoken and couldn't help asking, "What is the emperor thinking about?"

A Bao asked: "How long will it take for the imperial decree from the capital to arrive?"

Hearing this, Xie Wuai was worried: "The official road in the north is blocked by heavy snow. It will take at least five days to reach Jiangnan."

Five days? The entire Xiao Palace is not enough for Xiao Yunzheng to kill.

A Bao finally made up his mind: "Xiao Liu and Xiao Shi, we must save them."

Xie Wuai was delighted: "I knew it! My sister would never stand by and watch someone die!"

But A Bao suddenly changed the subject: "It's just that we shouldn't intervene in this matter. Since Xiao Liu and Xiao Shi are Xiao Linglai's brothers, they should be left to her to save."

Xie Wuai was puzzled at first, but soon realized: "My sister is more thoughtful. Xiao Linglai has no foundation in the Xiao Palace. If you want to calm down the Xiao clan elders and guest officials who are eyeing him covetously, it is most appropriate to use both kindness and force in this life-and-death crisis."

After saying this, Young Marquis Xie discovered that his sister was becoming more and more worried.

Immediately afterwards, Wanwan was called over and asked.

"Has Xiao Ba sent another visiting card to see 'Miss Yuan'?"

A Bao's heart trembled slightly, and he was prepared to hear bad news.

As expected, Wanwan replied in confusion, "I don't know why, but after the Jiangnan Gathering, Xiao Ba's whereabouts became a mystery, and Madam Zheng, who had been making so much noise, suddenly became quiet."

Xuanji was very worried and kept rubbing her temples: "Could it be that he is hiding from Xiao Yunzheng?"

Wanwan was also guessing excitedly: "Madam! Could it be that the mother and son noticed that there was something wrong with 'Miss Yuan' and had other plans?"

But Abao suspected that Xiao Ba might be dead.

Thinking of this, she summoned the secret guards of the Haizi tribe who were waiting in the corridor outside the door.

"Start from Shanya Garden and find Xiao Ba."

Throughout the dark night, the lights in the villas on the beautiful streets were never turned off.

And it’s at the corner, two streets away from the villa.

When the first rays of morning light enveloped the carriage with a copper bell with the word "Xiao" on it.

Princess Xiao, who had been waiting for her old father for a long time, finally waited for her son to come back.

I saw Xiao Yunzheng, who had not slept all night and looked cold.

Princess Xiao's expression suddenly became stern and she became alert.

"Mother, there is no need to wait. Grandfather has been temporarily detained in another courtyard."

"Moreover, even though he stepped in, he was unable to convince His Highness to release Jingyue from prison."

The tone of the young man in the black robe was calm and cold.

The mother and son looked at each other in dead silence.

Princess Xiao looked at her son warily, with the carriage curtain half lifted.

Clutching the handkerchief tightly, Princess Xiao suppressed her anger and said, "Why? Your sister finally died at the hands of that little bitch A Bao. Are you so proud of yourself?"

Xiao Yunzheng kindly reminded: "Not only Jingyue, but you, mother, will also die."

Hearing this, Princess Xiao was furious and could no longer hide her hatred: "Are you planning to use the lives of your mother and sister to please that little bitch?"

"It's to protect the Xiao Palace and the Xiao family..." Xiao Yunzheng stepped into the carriage. The moment the curtain fell, the morning light was completely blocked out. The young man's profile was shrouded in shadow, thin and sharp: "It's also to pay for my father's life."

Princess Xiao said sarcastically, "Over the years, mother didn't know that your father treated you like a pearl and a treasure, so that - you are so filial?"

Xiao Yunzheng understood the implicit meaning and clenched his fists, trying to remain calm.

But after trying for a while, he still failed.

Xiao Yunzheng sneered and mocked himself: "Who told me that I was the evidence of his shame."

Being ridiculed by her son, Princess Xiao also sneered: "You two really are father and son. Are you all denouncing me? Xiao Yunzheng! Remember this! Without my plan, how could you have the status of the legitimate son of Prince Xiao? Now that you have grown up, you dare to be arrogant in front of me and want me, your mother, to die?"

Princess Xiao asked sternly, "Who gave you the confidence?!"

“Mother, you should have thought of this day the moment you poisoned father.” Xiao Yunzheng stopped smiling and said coldly, “In recent days, Jingyue’s affair was exposed, Linglai was forced to commit suicide to prove her innocence, and the Xiao Palace was haunted and crying out for justice…”

"Who do you think is responsible for all this?"

"Your Highness knows everything."

Seeing Princess Xiao's anger, Xiao Yunzheng remained indifferent: "Now the Xiao Palace has lost face and become a laughing stock in Jiangnan, and the imperial decree of the Taiji Palace has been issued."

"Mother, why don't you guess what the imperial edict says?"

"I don't need to guess!" Princess Xiao laughed in anger: "I only know that you abandoned your biological mother and sister! You are so cruel, how can that bitch sincerely accept you?!"

"She'll always doubt you."

Staring at her son with resentment, Princess Xiao's words were heart-piercing: "She will suspect that one day you will strike back for revenge for the blood debt of your biological mother and sister! She will even suspect that you are hiding something from her all the time!!"

These words directly hurt Xiao Yunzheng's hidden wound.

Princess Xiao, on the other hand, was very proud: "You came from my womb! You are my son! There is no possibility for you to be with her in this life!"

"Then wait until next life."

Xiao Yunzheng didn't care and smiled.
