Chapter 293, Hide from the Sky and the Sea
It is undeniable that Concubine Xiao is extremely beautiful.
It is a kind of beauty that is weak to the extreme, and people will unconsciously pity her a little more.
Lord Xiao has no resistance to this kind of beauty at all, and since then, he has been particularly interested in this sister.
Whenever the other brothers and sisters in the mansion excluded and ridiculed Concubine Xiao, Lord Xiao would stand up to protect her.
In this regard, everyone didn't think much about it, they just thought that Lord Xiao was kind and loved Xiao Guifei as a sister.
Concubine Xiao naturally wouldn't think so, she knew very well that she and Lord Xiao had never been brother and sister.
But Lord Xiao will not hesitate to protect her every time, and this gratitude slowly fermented in Xiao Guifei's heart.
Xiao Guifei knew that she was in love with this big brother.
Originally, it was nothing.
After all, the two are only brother and sister in name and have no blood relationship.
As long as they are in love, no one can say anything about them when they are combined.
It's a pity that the two of them are destined to be inseparable.
Concubine Xiao is extremely beautiful, and Old Xiao had the idea of sending her to the palace.
If Concubine Xiao can be favored by the emperor, Xiao Mansion will also fly up the branches and become a phoenix.
Facts have proved that Old Lord Xiao's idea is not wrong, as soon as Xiao Guifei entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor and was named a concubine.
Of course, except for the emperor himself, no one knows that the reason why he loves Xiao Guifei is not because of her beautiful appearance, but because she resembles a certain person in some places.
Before entering the palace, Concubine Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and expressed her thoughts to her eldest brother.
At that time, Lord Xiao knew that he had never been unrequited love.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
However, the emperor's favor has never been eternal.
Xiao Guifei's favored days were long, until after giving birth to the Seventh Prince, the emperor's favor was suddenly given to another woman, and Xiao Guifei was completely snubbed.
Xiao Guifei was naturally unwilling, and made a mistake in a hurry and was caught.
For the sake of her former favor, the emperor did not punish her too much, but since then, he has not been waiting to see Xiao Guifei.
This is also the reason why Yuwen Chenxi was bullied in the past.
No matter how high Concubine Xiao Guifei's position is, and how beautiful she once was, once she loses the favor of the emperor, in the palace, even some faceless talents may not be able to compare.
Xiao Guifei is crazy every day, but the other party is the emperor, and she is today, even if she is angry again, what can she do.
Later, Concubine Xiao Guifei had a serious illness, and it seemed that she was about to die.
Lord Xiao couldn't bear it and begged the emperor to let Concubine Xiao go back to live in the house for a few days.
The emperor is not a hard-hearted person, seeing Xiao Guifei's appearance, the dissatisfaction with Xiao Guifei in his heart disappeared, and he happily agreed to let Lord Xiao take Xiao Guifei back to live in the house for a while.
After all, it is Xiao Guifei's home, and if she goes home and stays for a while, maybe she will get better.
After returning home, Lord Xiao took care of Concubine Xiao very much, and asked for warmth every day, often accompanying him.
At that time, everyone only thought that Lord Xiao felt sorry for his sister and was afraid that his sister would die.
After all, as long as there is Concubine Xiao in the palace, whether she is favored or not, the Xiao Mansion is the maiden home of the concubine.
Otherwise, if people go to tea and cool, Xiao Fu's position in the capital will be embarrassing.
As everyone knows, during that time, Lord Xiao and Concubine Xiao Guifei had a period of honey and oil blending.
The two threw away their identities, released their inner feelings for the first time, and only loved the person in front of them.
Slowly, Xiao Guifei's body has improved.
And this means that it is time for Xiao Guifei to return to the palace.
Who knows, at this time, Xiao Guifei was pregnant.
This child, without a doubt, is naturally Lord Xiao's.
But Concubine Xiao Guifei is the emperor's woman, and now she is pregnant with someone else's child, if it is known, the entire Xiao Mansion will not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded.
The matter has come to this point, and if you want to escape this catastrophe, you can only hide from the world.
Concubine Xiao Guifei hurriedly returned to the palace, and when the emperor came to visit her, she used some means to leave the emperor.
A month later, Xiao Guifei showed an uncomfortable appearance at the right time, and told everyone that she was pregnant under the confirmation of the imperial doctor.
In order not to let people find out that the child is older than the actual month, she didn't dare to eat more, and she was dizzy from being hungry every day, so as not to let the child grow too fast.
In September, she devised a good play, pretending to be born prematurely, but gave birth to a stillborn baby.
No one knew that Concubine Xiao was not a dead baby at all, but was sent by Lord Xiao to secretly give birth to the daughter of his wife.
It was also a coincidence that Mrs. Xiao and Concubine Xiao were pregnant one after another, Mrs. Xiao gave birth first, and Concubine Xiao came later.
In order to allow Xiao Guifei and his children to survive, Lord Xiao personally strangled his daughter with Mrs. Jiefa, and the bag born to Xiao Guifei.
It is precisely because of this that the emperor felt sorry for Concubine Xiao Guifei and has since resumed his favor for her.
These were inadvertently found out by Su Jinxuan when she entered the palace.
However, at that time, Xiao Guifei was her future mother, and she naturally would not expose her.
And in this life, Su Jinxuan didn't want to expose it.
After all, no matter what happened to Concubine Xiao and Lord Xiao, this Miss Xiao was innocent.
Everyone has no right to choose their parents.
But it shouldn't be, these people shouldn't hit her second brother's head with their ideas.
After hearing that Su Xuanlin was engaged to Xiao Luyao, Su Jinxuan asked people to investigate this Miss Xiao.
Facts have proved that this Miss Xiao has an innocent background, and she is not innocent at all.
As Xiao Guifei's biological daughter, but she can't take her with her to raise her personally, Xiao Guifei naturally loves Xiao Luyao in every way.
This favor is not an exaggeration to say that it is doting, even Yuwen Chenxi can't compare to it.
Of course, no one will be surprised by this.
After all, this Miss Xiao was born on the same day as the daughter that Xiao Guifei once lost.
Xiao Guifei is afraid that she has transferred her love for her daughter to her niece, so it is no wonder that she loves Xiao Luyao so much.
There is more than one person who thinks like this, even Yuwen Chenxi and the party Xiao Luyao think like this.
It is precisely because of Xiao Guifei's doting that Xiao Luyao's temperament is inevitably a little arrogant.
However, if it was just arrogance, Su Jinxuan would not say anything.
But the problem is that this Xiao Luyao and Yuwen Chenxi are worthy of being brother and sister, and they are ruthless one by one.
Yuwen Chenxi's heart is ruthless because he wants to get that position, which is understandable.
And Xiao Luyao is purely spoiled and ignorant.
From childhood to adulthood, as long as Xiao Luyao had a slight displeasure, the maid slaves around her would suffer, and she didn't know how many she was killed.
In Xiao Luyao's eyes, the lives of these servants who sold themselves into the mansion were not as good as one of her skirts, and if they died, they would die, and she would never feel guilty about it.
