After speaking, the room returned to the silence of the falling pin. I just looked at Little Bean, waiting for his attitude and answer to decide on the next move.

"What do you want us to do?" asked Douzi suddenly, and although his body was still trembling slightly, it was clear that his brain had regained the ability to think.

It seems that this child is not as weak as it seems. I smiled, this time the smile came from the bottom of my heart, even if the person in front of me was the opponent's pawn, the person who had been secretly provoking the relationship between me and Hongli, even if this person had bad intentions. But the moment he asked the question, I felt like I was right to see him.

"If it is true that it will spare us our lives as you say, then there must be a plan, otherwise what you say must be a lie, so what do you want us to do?" Xiao Douzi lowered his head, as if he was afraid that I did not understand what he meant, and then asked again in a weak voice.

It's hard for him to think of judging the truth of my promise in such a short period of time. Indeed, as I said, based on my previous inference, I could have sent someone to find out who the person behind him was, so his life and death were not important. Even the fact that I arranged to meet him today is a bit of a superfluous move. So for a person of my status, there must be a purpose for me to go to such great lengths to do something, and if I really plan to let them live, it must be because they are still useful to me.

Actually, there really wasn't it at first, but I didn't want a twelve-year-old to become a victim of the struggle. But now it does. I like the cleverness of this kid, I see the shadow of Xiao Shunzi in his body, since they are all chess pieces, then I don't mind taking him into my pocket for my own use. As for the woman he wants to defend, I will also let her go as promised, and if it goes well, I can use her to find the black hand. If it doesn't go well, at least she can be used to win the child's heart.

For the life and death of this woman, I don't actually need to do it myself. Once I knew who she was, I connected to her in various ways, and hinted that she would help me identify who the black hand was. As long as the black hand hidden in the Qianqing Palace wants to protect herself, she will definitely not let her live in this world in peace. As long as the black hand smells the wind, he can't hide the fox's tail tightly.

Of course, this woman was bound to die, and I had no intention of letting this person go from the beginning. But now, her death will be more meaningful. If the person this child cares about dies at the hands of that person, this child should be on the opposite side of that person because of anger and hatred, and there will be multiple available people in my hands, and I need someone who can really stay by my side instead of Xiao Shunzi and be used by me.

"If you could continue to live, would you rather go back to the old days, or would you like to be looked down upon?" I asked instead of answering him.

In exchange for this, Xiaodouzi was silent. I know that these words pierced the deepest desire in his heart, which can be thought of from Xu Fuduo's dictation, otherwise he would not have succumbed to those people just to survive, in other words, when anyone faces these humiliations, his heart is hidden behind this forbearance is unwillingness.

"I'll admit that both of you are useful to me, and as for what you need to do, I can't say yet. As long as you tell me who asked you to do those things, I will transfer you to my side to serve, and I will not tell Concubine Xi about you and the fourth elder brother. Even though I'm just a concubine, that person should have told you about my weight in this harem, and you don't have to worry about what others will do to you if you follow me. As for the person you want to protect, I know she's just being used. Frankly, I just want to find out who is using her against me, and as long as she can honestly tell me what she knows, I won't embarrass her, and I may not have to keep her by my side to serve. I said, "Actually, you don't have a choice now, do you?"

Xiaodouzi hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth on the ground again and said, "That person...... She...... She was originally the aunt who served by the Queen Mother's side. When the slave was ten years old, he couldn't stand being bullied and hid in the corner of the imperial garden where no one cried and was found by her, and after she learned about the slave, she helped the slave enter the Qianqing Palace, and the slave missed her very much. But I didn't expect that after the emperor succeeded to the throne, there was no need for people in the Qianqing Palace, and the servants had nowhere to go, so they had to ask this aunt to help introduce them to the elder brother's office. In fact, the slave didn't want to be with the fourth elder brother at first, and he didn't know about those things in the hidden mansion. But just after the Queen Mother went away, this aunt was also arranged to go to the vigil. Before leaving, she came to the minion and asked the servant to try to get close to the fourth elder brother, saying that the fourth elder brother would have great achievements in the future. At that time, the slave just wanted to find a strong master to rely on, but he didn't expect it...... Later, the fourth elder brother didn't know where to know about those pickled things in the palace, and he heard that the slaves knew all about this, so he was curious and said to try it first, it was fresh and fun, and the slaves had no choice but to obey. Before leaving, the aunt was worried that after she left, the servants would have no one to take care of her in the palace, so she asked a steward in the worship room to help take care of it. Just after Chinese New Year's Eve, rumors began to circulate in the palace that the emperor liked the fifth brother, and the slave was very worried that the fourth brother would lose power, so he reminded the fourth brother in front of him, but seeing that the fourth brother didn't care, he didn't say anything. But later, the words in the palace became more and more fierce, and the slave was worried, but he didn't dare to say much, and he was really depressed in his heart, so he mentioned it privately with the father-in-law in charge, and after the father-in-law in charge heard it, he told the slave about the submerged mansion, and said...... also said that Niangniang was restless when she was in the diving mansion, and the Queen Mother was also very disliked by Niangniang back then. He also said that his aunt also explained before leaving, if there is a chance, he must not let the mother take the fourth elder brother badly, and must find a way to let the fourth elder brother alienate the mother, otherwise...... Otherwise, there will be a disaster of the chicken. ”

After all, Xiaodouzi is just a twelve-year-old child, and after choosing to compromise, he didn't have the toughness just now, after saying these causes and consequences, he added sneeringly: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with my aunt, it's all because the slave is credulous to others, if the mother wants to fall, only the slave is alone, don't be angry with the aunt." She was far away in the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs, and she really didn't know it. ”

After asking the names of the aunt and the housekeeper, and giving Xu Fuduo a look and asking him to arrange for someone to find out the details of the two, I immediately fell into deep thought. I didn't expect things to be far more complicated than I thought, this person is really cunning, hidden deep enough, so virtual and real is elusive.

When Xiaodouzi saw Xu Fuduo leaving, I was silent again, and his body began to tremble again because of nervousness.

"Today, you stay with me and don't have to go back to the Brother's Office. As for the fourth elder brother, I will personally talk to him about it. But I want to remind you that you and the fourth elder brother can't mention it to anyone again, otherwise let the emperor know that you are not the only one who will die. ”

I didn't want to embarrass this kid anymore, so I reminded him cautiously, and let him lead him to settle down, while he leaned on the couch alone to sort out all the clues he learned today.
