When the two big men were brought to the inner hall, Zhou Xiao propped up his still weak body and asked, "I ask you, what kind of imperial orders have you served?" The voice was not high, but it was clearly angry.

One of them spoke: "People are serving the emperor's dictation............ It's to take the people of the dungeon out and dispose of them secretly......"

"Bold!" Zhou Xiao was even more angry, if it weren't for the fact that Chen'er was also a martial arts practitioner, I am afraid that he would have ...... at this time

The two big men were suddenly so frightened that they kowtowed desperately: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, people really obey the emperor's orders." Pointing to Liu Sisi, who was slumped to the ground, he said in unison: "This noble man can prove to us that the emperor's edict was conveyed to people by this nobleman." ”

"Hu, when have I seen you! Don't spew blood from this great hall! ”

An Qingchen sneered in his heart, at this time, he could still quibble, and he had no remorse, it seemed that Liu Sisi's mind was really not ordinary vicious.

At this time, the two big men are anxious, if she doesn't admit it, then the two of them will be dead: "The emperor is clear, how can people have this guts, even if they have this guts, people won't know that there is still a person in the dungeon!" Then, one of them took out a key from his chest and said, "The key to this dungeon is still given to people by this nobleman, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask Mr. Liu, who is in charge of the key to the dungeon......

Looking at the situation, the matter could no longer be hidden, Liu Sisi knelt and crawled to the side of Zhou Xiao's bed, crying and begging: "Your Majesty, the courtiers know that they are wrong, the courtiers are just joking with their sisters, and the emperor forgives them." Seeing that Zhou Xiao was silent, Liu Sisi knelt at the feet of Empress Dowager Liu and said, "Auntie, aunt save me." ”

Empress Dowager Liu frowned, this Liu Sisi was too bold and reckless, even if it was her, she only locked An Qingchen up, and she didn't even have the idea of moving a single hair of her, she was good, she just wanted to kill people......

"Your Majesty, Sisi is still young, she is indeed ignorant, you are her cousin, just go back to Kyoto and teach well, the mother concubine will ask Liu Xiang to grounded her in the mansion, and she is not allowed to take a step, you see, okay?"

"Mother, this is a false decree, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, it is to be connected......"

As soon as she heard this, Empress Dowager Liu stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and she was ...... That is, even she has to be implicated: "The emperor and Sisi are also close relatives, if you want to ......, the emperor will kill my old bones!" ”

An Qingchen was "groaning" in his heart, Zhou Xiaomo didn't want to borrow her hand to deal with Liu Xiang, according to his temperament, no one would be allowed to threaten his imperial power, especially the Liu family. Now, Liu Qianqian married to Youzhou and became Princess Rui, Liu Xiang has a huge influence in the court, and the Empress Dowager Liu is in charge of palace affairs.

An Qingchen glanced at Zhou Xiao, who was still sick, he wanted to borrow the knife of the General's Mansion to destroy the prestige of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, but he didn't know how far he would go......

"The mother concubine has married into the royal family, and she is a royal person, but Liu Xiang, it is really unknown whether she instigated her guilt......"

Empress Dowager Liu's heart trembled again, Liu Xiang is her brother, and the honor and disgrace of her brother are related to the survival of her Liu family. She glanced at An Qingchen fiercely, it was all the fault of this stinky girl of the An family, at the beginning, she really shouldn't have let her escape like this, if the fire fake scene back then was really done and burned her to death, there would not be so many things today.

"Your Majesty......" Empress Dowager Liu still wanted to intercede, Zhou Xiao raised her hand and said, "Mother doesn't need to say much, I have my own opinions on this matter." Someone came, and put Liu Sisi into the dungeon first. After saying this, Zhou Xiao's eyes closed and he didn't want to say anything more. The imperial doctor stepped forward at the right time and said, "The emperor is tired and needs to recuperate." ”

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Liu had to leave first. An Qingchen was about to leave, but he didn't want to be pulled by Zhou Xiao: "Stay in the dust." An Qingchen had to sit back quietly on his side again, without saying a word.

Zhou Xiao opened his eyes and said, "Why do you look preoccupied?" ”

"Has the emperor wanted to deal with the Liu family for a long time?" Qingchen doesn't beat around the bush, it's a habit she brings with her from the 21st century. Zhou Xiao seemed to have long been accustomed to her directness, and said: "It's true, but I don't have a reasonable reason." ”

"The emperor's trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is really bloodless!"

Zhou Xiao was stunned, as if he didn't expect An Qingchen to think so deeply: "I will never move Anfu." ”

Qingchen immediately stood up, knelt on the ground, and said, "Thank you, Emperor!" "Although he is like this, his heart is already clear, he can't move, he may not really move; He won't move now, and he won't move in the future. But judging from the current situation, Anfu's status is still firm, Anfu is just her daughter, and in the future, Anfu's qiē is not all Zhou Xiao's, this wishful thinking, Qingchen sighed in his heart, he was hurt like this, and with so many thoughts, it is really not easy to be an emperor.

Three days later, Zhou Xiao's injuries had basically healed, and Qingchen was amazed at the speed of his recovery. Empress Dowager Liu came to visit every day, but she kept silent about Liu Sisi's affairs, and Zhou Xiao was always cold. An Qingchen didn't want to come every day, but Zhou Xiao sent people to call every day, and the emperor's order was difficult to do, which made her innocent for no reason, and she was blinded by Empress Dowager Liu, and it seems that it will be difficult for the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be harmonious in the future.

On this day, as soon as Empress Dowager Liu left, Zhou Xiao patted the collapsed side, motioned for Qingchen to sit down, and said, "The collapse of the official mine has already been discussed......

"Got eyebrows? Who's the troublemaker? ”

"Old man Han's daughter, Han Xiangxiang."

"How could it be her? I remember the last time we left Nanyang, she was going to go back to Kyoto with you, or did she go in the same carriage as me, why did she go back to Nanyang? ”

"I sent someone to send her back, and there is a reason for this, so don't mention it."

An Qingchen keenly found that Zhou Xiao used the word "send", and generally used the word "send" when he made a mistake, and Zhou Xiao was secretive about it, which aroused An Qingchen's curiosity, she stared at Zhou Xiao and said, "Look, I want to hear it." ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that it doesn't look very pleasing to the eye, so I sent someone to send it back."

"Yes......" Qingchen didn't believe it at all.

Zhou Xiao sighed and said, "It's okay if you want, but there is one condition." ”

"On what terms?"

Zhou Xiao looked at An Qingchen's round eyes and said, "Tonight, stay with me." ”

Qingchen blushed and said, "Forget it, if you don't listen, it won't be a good thing to think about it." ”

Zhou Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, why is he, the queen, so shrewd, why can't he be fooled: "Okay, I'll tell you about it today." ”

When Qingchen heard this, he immediately sat up straight, looking attentive, which made Zhou Xiao smile slightly: "This Han Xiangxiang returned to Kyoto, originally lived in your Anfu, and then she insisted on entering the palace with a dead face, and you also know about it, I remember that she also has a credit for entering the palace." ”

Qingchen stuck out her tongue, this matter really has nothing to do with her.

"She was at first at the palace and peaceful, but one night, she brought me a bowl of soup to repay the grace of saving my life, I have always refused to eat food outside the imperial dining room, but for your sake, I barely took a sip......"

Qingchen listened, pursed her lips, and was very disdainful in her heart, what looked at her face, it was obvious that she was moved by seeing the beauty. Seeing her expression, Zhou Xiao knocked her head and said, "Who knows, she drugged the soup, it was the night I went to Qingliang Temple, I don't know if you remember?" After that, there was a rare red cloud on his face, and the rare shyness was replaced by anger: "Who knew that someone actually found me a ...... Found a ......."

Oh, it turned out that night, Anzi seemed to be with her like this, but she was too confused at that time and didn't think about it so much.

"Then what are you going to do with Han Xiangxiang, no matter what, Old Man Han has made a lot of efforts for the official mine."

"Han Xiangxiang's whereabouts are still unknown, and it's never too late to find her."

Five days later, Zhou Xiao really recovered, but the speed of recovery was already amazing, everyone was already packing, ready to go back to Kyoto, just when everyone was busy, suddenly a black bag fell from the sky, "bang", fell to the ground, startled a group of birds.

The subordinates didn't dare to open it privately, so they hurriedly ran to the inner hall and asked Zhou Xiao for instructions.
