Chapter 88 Imminent
Qin Su's case was handled by Xiao Tong. After thinking about it, Xiao Ji decided to go to the East Palace to explore the details. Ding Rou had already told him everything, and he had no way to verify the authenticity of those things. Now, let's solve the problem of pretending to be a ghost first.
Xiao Ji knew that there were many precious books in the East Palace. After the court that day, he followed Xiao Tong to the East Palace on the grounds of borrowing books.
When he came to the library in the East Palace, he pretended to be amazed and thought about how to ask Qin Su about it. At this time, there was a book on the bookshelf about the laws and regulations of the previous dynasty.
Pick it up and flip it out casually, "I didn't expect that Brother Huang actually has such a book here."
After hearing this, Xiao Tong read it naturally. After seeing the book in his hand, he explained, "My Daliang and the Southern Qi are also of the same clan. Although they are the laws of the previous dynasty, there are many that have been used to this day."
Xiao Ji pretended to be surprised, "So that's how it is." Then he asked again unintentionally, "By the way, I don't know how General Qin will be punished. The commander of the imperial guards will do such a thing." As he said that, he shook his head regretfully.
Xiao Tong also sighed, "Yes, Qin Su has always been diligent and not like a person who does this kind of thing. I always feel that he is hiding something."
The person beside him frowned, "What did the elder brother have found?"
The man smiled and said, "You have never paid much attention to these trivial matters in the court. Why did you care about this case today?"
His expression was slightly ill, and he immediately returned to normal, "I just think that Qin Suyiyi general is also a talented person. If he was executed like this, it would be a pity."
Seeing him say this, Xiao Tong did not have any doubts, "Haha, fourth brother, you are a royal family, so why do you know nothing about Daliang's laws and regulations?"
Xiao Ji looked like he couldn't understand. Seeing him like this, Xiao Tong patiently explained.
"Although pretending to be a god and making trouble in the palace is a serious crime, it will not be punished until death. At most, it will be imprisoned in the prison for three or five years."
After hearing this, Xiao Ji felt a little relieved. After the two chatted for a while, he left the palace with a few books and the previous dynasty's rules.
Xiao Ji did not go back to the mansion directly, but went to the villa in Xishan, where he settled Xiao Yuzhan...
Although the Xishan Villa is not as luxurious as the royal palace, it is also very elegant and unique, just right for Xiao Yuzhan, who has a body, to rest as long as he is pregnant. At this moment, Xiao Yuzhan was walking in the courtyard. She was already a big belly and her face was slightly rounder because of her pregnancy. Song Heng carefully supported her, and Xiao Yuzhan was about to give birth in a short time. He wanted to stare at her all the time.
When Xiao Ji was suddenly seen appearing in a hurry, Xiao Yuzhan was happy on his face and asked, "Sister Yue is here." It has been a few days since she came back, and the letter was also asked Xiao Ji to bring it with her. She was looking forward to Xiao Qingyue coming to see her every day.
Xiao Ji's face was a little unfair, and he shook his head and said, "I'm here to tell you something." Then he told Xiao Yuzhan everything about Ding Rou, but he didn't say anything about the secrets of Feixia Palace.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuzhan couldn't help but curse Ding Rou insincerely, how could she blame Xiao Qingyue for elopement?
Xiao Ji was thinking about other things on the side. He always felt that this matter was not as simple as it appeared. Ding Rou told him that all the things, including the way to pretend to be a ghost to retaliate against Feixia Palace, were Li Luwei's advice.
How could Li Luwei know who told her about the secret story from more than ten years ago? What she wants to do with this matter now! If she just wants to expose it, why not go to Xiao Yan to report it, that wouldn't it be more direct.
Xiao Yuzhan didn't know what he was thinking, and said a little worried, "What if Qin Su confessed his mother's wife?" Although he was angry that Ding Rou shouldn't have done that, she was also for her, let alone her mother's wife, how could she not worry?
At this time, the man who had been thinking about it had noticed in his heart, "Yuzhan, you will write a letter to Qingyue, and you will say that you have an urgent matter to find her. Didn't you say that she had a personal relationship with the Six Emperors, and you can only ask her to ask the Six Emperors to help solve this matter." And it must be resolved as soon as possible. Regardless of whether the secret matter is true or false, he would not want to see something happening to Xiao Qingyue. He has no interaction with these Six Emperors on weekdays, and every time he meets them in the palace, he just greets you. Now in this court, in terms of strength and power, who else can be better than him?
Xiao Yuzhan felt that what he said made sense, so he quickly went back to the house to write a letter to Xiao Qingyue, asking her to see her when she left the palace.
As soon as Xiao Qingyue received the letter, she didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly left the palace under Xiao Ji's arrangement. Her token of leaving the palace was left on the pleasure boat the day she visited the lake, and she did not bring the jade flu back. She was thinking about how to send Ran Yu out of the palace recently, and even Lian Qiao and Luluo were thinking about arranging their place to go.
Xiao Qingyue, who had just left Feixia Palace, had been monitoring the movements in the hall, hurried back to report to the master. The supervisor was the chief supervisor of Qingluan Palace, Chang Xi.
When Li Luwei heard that Xiao Qingyue had left the palace, she snorted coldly in her heart. She was really brave and could go freely after leaving the palace. It would be better if she was not here. She was just taking this opportunity to talk to Xiao Youyu...
At this time, Xiao Youyu was sewing clothes in the house, which was a red little underwear. She learned from Xiao Qingyue that Xiao Yu's hairpin was about to give birth, so she was rushing to make a few small clothes so that she could wear them for the child who was born. She didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, so she chose this joyful red.
At this time, a cheerful voice came, "What is Princess Jade doing?"
When Xiao Youyu heard the sound, she panickedly stuffed the embroidered clothes in her hand into her loose sleeves. Fortunately, the child's clothes were not big. If they were bigger, her sleeves would not be able to be stuck.
Why did this person come? No one came in to communicate. Thinking that Xiao Qingyue was not in the palace at this time, and Lian Qiao and Luluo were both busy with other things, she quickly got up and dealt with it carefully.
"Why is the Empress coming?" He bowed politely. Although Li Luwei is about the same age as her, she is the imperial concubine, so she has to salute respectfully when she sees her.
Li Luwei came up intimately to help her up, "The Jade Princess won't have to give this great gift in the future." Now, the eldest princess has been married, and Xiao Yuzhan has fled privately. Although there are two princesses in this palace, one is the nominal real princess, but a remnant of the previous dynasty. The other one, with the title of princess, is the most deserved pearl of the sea.
He picked up the big red cloth spread on the table and asked again, "Princess Jade wants to make clothes?"
Xiao Youyu took the red cloth and replied, "I thought about making two bellybands for myself, so that the empress would laugh."
"Where are you?" said this and pretended to look at the hall and asked deliberately, "Is Qingyue not here?"
He calmly said, "Qingyue went to Chenghuan Palace to pay tribute to Ding Shuyi. Didn't the Empress meet when she came?"
Li Luwei was secretly sad. She clearly left the palace and said she went to Chenghuan Palace. They really had a deep sisterhood! I just don’t know if she would still protect Xiao Qingyue like she did when she knew her life experience!
"Maybe it's a different road. Qingyue is really filial and goes to Chenghuan Palace to pay tribute every day."
Xiao Youyu smiled and asked Li Luwei to sit down, and then brewed tea for her.
Li Luwei looked at it and pretended to sigh, "If your biological mother was still there, I would definitely feel heartbroken when I saw you like this." This kind of work that the servant should do, she did it.
When he heard the mention of her biological mother again, the person who poured the tea was slightly stunned and did not respond. He just handed the tea over.
"Please use it with Empress"
After taking the cup, she grabbed the hand that was about to be taken back, pulled the person aside, and said with a heart-wrenching voice, "Youyu, you don't want to know what kind of person your biological mother is, and... your biological father..."
At this moment, Xiao Youyu's face had completely changed. Although she was afraid of others talking about her biological mother, what she cared most about was the biological father who she didn't know who she was!
Xiuran pulled her hand back, thinking that Ding Rou came to her to say this not long ago, and replied coldly, "Empress and Empress Shuyi from Chenghuan Palace seem to be very interested in Youyu's life experience."
Seeing that she was no longer happy, Li Luwei pretended to be anxious and said, "You silly girl, you have been kept in the dark for so many years, making wedding dresses for others. Ding Shuyi and I both feel worthless for you!"
The frown became deeper and deeper, "What the hell do you want to say!"
Li Luwei smiled contemptuously and finally took the bait. She looked outside the hall carefully. She was not there, so she had to say everything she should say.
"Youyu, I honestly tell you that your good sister Xiao Qingyue is not the biological daughter of the current emperor, and you were not born by your mother's affair with the guards. You are the real princess who is like a fake one!"
These words were like five thunders thunder, which shocked Xiao Youyu! She was not a fool and did not believe Li Luwei's words immediately.
"Where did the Empress know about such a big thing? The Empress said that Qingyue is not the biological daughter of the current emperor, so who is her biological father? Could it be that she is also a guard in the palace?"
Li Luwei's eyes flashed with brilliance, saying word by word, "Xiao Qingyue is the remnant of the previous dynasty. Her biological father is the emperor of the previous dynasty who was killed outside the Xuanshi Hall and had a corpse and a corpse gate!"
"?!" How is this possible?! Xiao Youyu kept shaking her head, her eyes full of disbelief. This is really incredible! How could she believe it!
Seeing that Li Luwei had achieved her goal, she should not stay in Feixia Palace for a long time. She stood up, covered her lips with her hands, attached herself to the person sitting alone, and said in a low voice.
"I know you don't believe it, but there is a person who knows everything about your biological mother back then, and your life experience is also revealed from her. Liu Shuyuan's wet nurse, Jiang, you won't know him!"
Xiuniang?! She looked up at the person beside her in shock. Didn’t Xiuniang have already left the palace?!
"If you can trust me, I can arrange for you to meet. Then you will know if you ask in person what I said today is true or false."
Xiao Youyu's heart was already in turmoil. She didn't believe Li Luwei's words, but Xiuniang... How could Xiuniang fall into Li Luwei's hands? Does Xiao Qingyue know...
