Seeing that her grandmother was reluctant, but she still gritted her teeth and nodded, and handed over the housekeeping rights from the beginning, Xiao Jinxuan immediately smiled with satisfaction in her heart, put away her aggressive posture, and instantly returned to the gentle appearance that is harmless to humans and animals on weekdays.

You can't rush for quick success, Xiao Jinxuan knows the truth of jumping off the wall in a hurry, she returned home tonight, and the first battle with Xiao Jinyu and others can be said to be a complete victory.

But don't look at her talent, competing with the old lady of the Bai family, in fact, she doesn't care about the power of the Guogong Mansion at all, it is obviously impossible.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan feels that it is enough to click on it, and now she has taken back the most important power of the family, and this harvest is not small.

Although she did dislike the Zhao family more and more, but the other party was in power, she was much more convenient to move, and she didn't have to worry about the old lady stumbling her in the dark.

As for the Zhao family's increasingly greedy temperament, Xiao Jinxuan also sees it all, but looking at the entire Shuai Mansion, the Shen family's health is not good, and the only one who can support the position of being in charge is this aunt, so handing over the power of the house to the other party is also her only choice now.

Seeing that everyone in the room was silent, and no one dared to question her, Xiao Jinxuan, who was immediately satisfied, directly bowed and retreated.

And until Xiao Jinxuan left Taining Courtyard, Xiao Jinyu, who had not spoken, immediately turned red with red eyes, and got up and grabbed the sleeve of the old lady, and said in a choked voice:

"Grandmother, before Jinyu said that she was in the house, she was bullied by her sister-in-law, but you still didn't believe it, but now you have seen it yourself, that Xiao Jinxuan originally relied on the snow to make meritorious contributions, and was close to King Rui and the royal king, so she didn't take my sister in her eyes at all. Now the saint and the concubine are also quite fond of her, look at my sister, now it is really even more arrogant, this Xiao family is afraid that there will be no place for my granddaughter in the future. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Xiao Jinyu's tears were like beads with broken threads, ticking and ticking, and the old lady's heart was about to wrinkle in one place.

Thinking of his little daughter who died early, leaving Xiao Jinyu with such a trace of blood, the old lady immediately looked angry, and looked at Mrs. Xiao with a bad expression.

"I said how did you become a grandmother, my precious granddaughter suffered, why don't you know how to support her, the huge handsome mansion is now controlled by a concubine, Yuanxiang, you tell me what is good about you, it's really useless."

Bai Yuanxiang is the real name of Mrs. Xiao, and since she married the Xiao family from the Huaguo Mansion, this name has basically been called less and less.

And the old lady is the wife of Mrs. Xiao's brother, and she is her sister-in-law according to her generation, so there is really nothing wrong with the other party calling her by her name.

Seeing that the old lady was angry with herself, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but sigh, and in front of her mother's family, she couldn't help but show a tired and helpless look:

"Sister-in-law, if it's not Yuanxiang and I don't protect Yu'er, it's really my granddaughter who is too difficult to deal with, originally after my sister-in-law personally sent Jinyu back, Yuanxiang should have sent you back to the Gongfu, but after learning that Xiao Jinxuan was not dead, the reason why I left you behind was to help me, to say that I am not afraid of my sister-in-law's jokes, I am alone, and I really feel a little powerless to deal with that girl."

Seeing that the old lady, who had been in charge of the Shuai Mansion for many years and had always been quite strong, actually showed such a helpless look, the old lady immediately frowned, and then snorted coldly and said:

"Yuanxiang doesn't need to say more, you are a member of the Bai family of our Guogong Mansion, and that dead girl is really difficult, you are my sister-in-law, this gentleman will not stand idly by and watch if he is reasonable, tonight I am a little underestimated, tomorrow I will definitely call that Xiao Jinxuan to take a good look, and give you and Jinyu this bad breath!"

Because Xiao Jinxuan fell off the cliff and did not die, and miraculously returned safely, Mrs. Xiao had to be depressed at the same time, and immediately invited the old lady Bai from her mother's house to help her.

In fact, because Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu are not dead, and there is not only Mrs. Xiao who is nervous and busy, it can be seen that it is now ten o'clock at night, and Changping City has long been banned, and the palace in the capital is even more closed and heavily guarded.

But suddenly, the palace gate, which was not a major situation and would not be opened without permission, opened silently in this dark and quiet night, and then an inconspicuous carriage, under the control of a man in a cloak, drove out of the inner courtyard of the palace with a very light voice, and went all the way to Xiangning Lane.

Because the wheels of the carriage and the hooves of the horses were all wrapped in cotton cloth, although the carriage was not slow, when it stopped in front of the palace of the Prince of Thailand, there was no sound on the way, and therefore no one was surprised.

And when they arrived at the gate of the palace, the man in the cloak who was driving the car immediately helped a woman with a veil on her face and a black coat from the carriage, and then the two knocked on the vermilion door of the prince's mansion.

After a while, the doorman opened the door, but before he could ask, the man wearing a cloak who was driving the car immediately took out a golden token engraved with the pattern of the nine phoenixes.

As soon as the doorman saw this token, his expression immediately froze, and he immediately did not ask anything, so he hurriedly welcomed the two into the palace, and cautiously closed the door again.

As for the scene in front of his house, Zhou Xiantai, who still didn't know anything about it, although it was night now, he was still sitting alone in the study, but he didn't rest so late, but he was not busy with any official business, but the whole person leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes were closed, and he was thinking about his thoughts with a decadent expression.

As soon as Zhou Xianyu came back today, he received the news, and then Qi Bei was captured, the black mountain village was broken, Yan Sibao was killed, and the black iron matter was completely exposed.

And when he learned that Zhou Xianyu, the seventh brother, the first thing he did after returning to Beijing was to enter the palace to face the saint, Zhou Xiantai felt that he was finished.

And from that moment on, he locked himself in the study, even if Ji Lingfeng came over many times, he didn't see each other.

Thinking that although he is the queen's concubine, he can't compete for the prince born to the late queen, and he has worked hard for a long time, and now he is losing everything, and the royal family mines ordinary pig iron privately, which will be regarded as an intention to rebel, and it is difficult to escape the death penalty.

And now that he is mining more precious black iron, Zhou Xiantai can't imagine how his father will punish him after knowing this.

And no matter what the result is, Emperor Ming's heart must be jealous of his son, the prince who was suspicious of the emperor, was basically sentenced to death, and he had no chance to be the prince in this life.

couldn't help but sigh melancholy again, just when Zhou Xiantai was upset, and wanted to get up to find some wine, and to get drunk, he suddenly heard a woman's voice from outside the study:

"Emperor, what makes you so worried, don't forget that you are the child of the queen, the most noble prince of the Great Zhou, such a loss of fighting spirit, if it is spread, you are simply embarrassing the queen mother."

As soon as these words fell, the door of the study was directly pushed open, and then the woman with a gauze on her face walked in, and after she took the veil away, the person who appeared in front of Zhou Xiantai was the current mother of the country in Da Zhou, the queen mother Xue.

didn't expect Empress Xue to appear in his palace, Zhou Xiantai was stunned for a while, then he reacted and hurriedly stepped forward, and immediately knelt down respectfully to greet his mother.

And Empress Xue glanced at Zhou Xiantai, who was kneeling in front of him, but he directly bypassed the other party, came to the chair in front of the bookcase and sat down, and then did not ask his son to get up, but Feng Yi said in a thousand words:

"It seems that the royal king's return, and in front of your father and the emperor sued you a thing, it really hit the emperor a lot, knowing the son Mo Ruo's mother, the queen knew that you were going to be unable to bear it, so I had to venture out to see you, but I didn't expect that the emperor not only couldn't bear it, but now it is almost no different from the lost dog, the son of the queen, actually imitated the coward's appearance, hiding in the study and sighing, you are really disappointed by the queen mother."

Zhou Xiantai has been extremely strict with him since he can remember, and now seeing that the other party is annoyed with him, he immediately did not get angry in front of people, but he didn't even dare to get up, just glanced at Xue Hou, and kowtowed and said:

"The queen mother's lesson is that the child disappointed you, but now the matter of black iron can no longer be hidden, and the seventh brother enters the palace, the father and the emperor may also know that the person who opened the mine behind the scenes is a child, Qi Bei plus a hundred black armor guards, as well as the private soldiers on the black mountain village, all of them were detained by Zhou Xianyu, and the child is already speechless, and there is no room for conversion."

But when she heard this, Empress Xue suddenly laughed, and then said in a very soft voice, with a hint of bewitchment:

"Since you can't argue, then don't ask anything, don't say anything, Qi Bei is loyal to you, your grandfather has already sent me news, he will use the identity of the prime minister to push all the faults to Qi Bei in the court, as for his identity from now on, he is not the captain of the guard of your prince's mansion, but the meticulous work sent by the Beirong State and has been lurking by your side for many years, and your three hundred black armor guards, as well as the private soldiers on the Black Mountain Village, are all dispatched by Qi Bei using your name to dispatch without authorization."

Ignoring Zhou Xiantai, who was kneeling on the ground and looking stunned, Empress Xue smiled lightly at him, and then continued to say calmly and softly:

"And the emperor, whether it is the interrogation of the officials, or your father asks you, Xiantai only needs to say that everything is unaware, so that whether it is the harm of the royal king falling off the cliff, or the smuggling of black iron, all of them will be Qi Bei's meticulous work, in order to disturb my Great Zhou court, the insidious deeds made, the emperor was at most guilty of employing people without investigation, with me and your grandfather protecting each other, that is, your father and the emperor know in his heart, these are just lies, so what can be, reasonable explanations have been come up, At that time, with the influence of my Xue family in the court, who dares to touch you in the slightest! ”
