The night is as quiet as cool water.

After dinner, Xia Rui dismissed all the palace people and sat in the dormitory with Yun Xiao.

The candles in the Yunxiao dormitory are still as bright as day, and the luxurious middle palace cabinet, under the background of the dark night lights, looks more and more beautiful, but it is not as majestic as the day.

Xia Rui took Yun Xiao's hand, slowed down his speech, and said to Yun Xiao:

"Xiao'er, don't worry too much about your second brother, I have already instructed the people in the Criminal Department not to execute him. However, this matter involves him in the end, and I can't show too much favoritism in front of everyone, so I can only wronged him to live in the prison of the Criminal Department for a few days......"

With that, he let out another long sigh.

Yun Xiao knew that Xia Rui's words were actually apologetic, she smiled reluctantly, and said to Xia Rui:

"Your Majesty, the concubine is very grateful to the emperor for his trust in the concubine, and also very grateful to the emperor for his trust in the concubine's family, today's incident happened too suddenly, the concubine didn't know in advance, how did the second brother know the female assassin, if it wasn't for that time, the second brother suddenly said such a sentence in public, the queen mother would not have caught the second brother, the emperor maintained the concubine and the concubine's family like this, the concubine was really moved in her heart, in the final analysis, it was the concubine who did not do a good job, which made the emperor embarrassed!"

"We don't say that kind of thing between husband and wife, that's what I should do. The Queen Mother clearly wants to pull your second brother into the water, how can I sit idly by?! ”

Xia Rui put Yun Xiao's hand in the palm of his hands, as if holding a treasure, he looked at Yun Xiao gently, and said,

"Xiao'er, you are my wife, the most important person in my future life, although I am an emperor and sit on the world, but I am in a high place, and there are still many places where I can't help myself, but no matter how difficult my situation is, I will do my best to protect you, make you happy, and make you feel at ease, so you must believe me, since I married you, I will put everything you care about in my heart, and you just rely on me wholeheartedly is ......"

Xia Rui is really gentle with Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao lowered his long eyelashes slightly, nodded slightly, and his face was crimson:

"The concubine was willful before...... Whoever makes the emperor a few years older than the concubine will always let the concubine a few more times......"

When Xia Rui heard this, he immediately laughed from ear to ear, and he couldn't say anything to refute for a while:

"The queen's sharp teeth are now known to be used on her husband? Hahahahahaha......haha

He laughed, and Yun Xiao laughed along.

After laughing, Xia Rui's face suddenly sank again:

"Actually, I hope that today's things can be successful, although the day is a little not good, it is a big day of the full moon of Hua'er......"

When Yun Xiao heard this, his smile froze instantly, and the warm atmosphere of the hall also condensed instantly.

She looked up at Xia Rui in disbelief and asked:

"Your Majesty, do you mean that today's incident is really an accident? Didn't the Gao family instigate it behind it?! ”

Xia Rui gave Yun Xiao an unfathomable smile, he clenched Yun Xiao's hands again, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Although it seems a little unbelievable that the Queen Mother was rescued by Concubine Song who was sitting far away today, I can tell you with certainty now that the Queen Mother should not have known about today's events in advance!"

He paused, and slowly analyzed for Yun Xiao,

"Because, the imperial doctor who went to Shou'an Palace to diagnose the pulse of the Queen Mother secretly reported to me that the Queen Mother really fainted today! You think, if the Queen Mother pretended to be dizzy this afternoon, then she couldn't have pretended to be so long, and she didn't wake up until it was almost dark, and the imperial doctor couldn't notice it, and you saw that the words she said after waking up were indeed much thinner than usual, which shows that the Queen Mother was extremely angry and shocked by today's events. ”

"So, there is some truth to it." Yun Xiao nodded while listening, "What about Prime Minister Gao?" Is he completely unaware of it too? ”

Xia Rui's expression became unfathomable again, and he said with some hesitation:

"Prime Minister Gao...... Whether this old fox knows or not, it's really hard to say now! If you want to say that he knew in advance, why didn't he tell the Queen Mother in advance about such a big thing? But if he didn't know in advance, who sent the news to Concubine Song? Concubine Song will suddenly come to escort her, even if she can give a hundred words, I don't believe it's a coincidence! ”

At the mention of Song Concubine, Yun Xiao smiled very gracefully:

"Since Concubine Song entered the palace, she has survived in the cracks, but she seems to be able to be in danger every time, and this time she is even more blessed by misfortune, it's really not easy!"

Xia Rui raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Do you also think that this Song Concubine is not simple?" ”

Yun Xiao nodded: "If what happened to Concubine Song is put on the noble concubine, the noble concubine may not be able to come to this day in peace!" ”

"I think so too." Xia Rui smiled.

At this moment, Yun Xiao remembered something again, and she said:

"By the way, the emperor removed the two directors of the Internal Affairs Office today and sent them to the Anle Hall specially for people living in the seriously ill palace, among them, Qin Song, the chief manager of the Internal Affairs Office, was originally the confidant of the Queen Mother, he should know many secrets of the Gao family, and the dancing girls who came to the palace to perform today must be approved by the Internal Affairs Office before they can enter the palace, for today's affairs, Qin Song must know some inside information, and the emperor may as well interrogate this Qin Song."

When Xia Rui heard this, he couldn't stop nodding.

He sighed and said: "If you want to say that Qin Song is completely clean, I don't believe it at all, over the years, Qin Song has the support of the Queen Mother behind him, but he has been rampant and domineering in the harem, but Qin Song has been in the palace for a long time, and he knows all about the sets commonly used in the palace, and now I have taken his authority and flattened him to Anle Hall, the Queen Mother may not be willing to give up on him like this, and if you want to judge something useful from Qin Song's mouth at this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to ......"

When Yun Xiao heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly:

"Everyone will have weaknesses, Qin Song's reliance is only on the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother is unable to protect him, he will definitely let go if he is desperate! And...... Does he have no other relatives or concerns in this world? ”

Xia Rui looked at Yun Xiao and said with a smile: "The inner servants have no children and no daughters, and if they live to Qin Song's age, what relatives can they care about?" They are different from us, when I belittled Qin Song today, I didn't think about it so much, but now that I am reminded by you like this, things seem to have another breakthrough, Xiao'er, you are really my virtuous helper! Hahahahahaha......haha
