"What did you just say, Xiaoju is Gu Desire's illegitimate daughter, is this news true?" "Your Royal Highness, this news is true, that little guy named Qianye handed over all the intercepted correspondence under torture, and he was the main responsible liaison for the Turkic ambush in Chang'an, Xiaoju and the Turkic correspondence were transmitted through his hands, so his subordinates thought they couldn't fake it in a hurry!"

After listening to Zhang Xiaojing's explanation, Li Mao immediately waved his hand to let the group of people and others stay outside the courtyard, while he himself pushed into the door where Xiao Ju and the three of them were with frowns, the three of them were originally sitting at the head of the bed and talking and laughing to draw the embroidery in their hands, when they saw Li Mao walk into their room for the first time, the three of them were frightened and knelt directly on the ground at the same time.

"Slave and maid knock to see Your Highness!" "Okay, get up, the three of you know from the bottom that this king hates these cumbersome etiquette, get up and talk!" After Li Mao finished speaking, he found a round stool next to the head of the bed and moved to sit down in front of them, although the three of them stood up straight with some trepidation, but everyone's eyes were staring at their toes, and they didn't dare to raise them at all.

"Xiao Ju, Xiao Tao, Xiao Cherry, the three of you have been by my mother's side for ten years, this king vaguely remembers the figure of stealing pastries with you in the mother's room, but I didn't expect time to go back, but we can't go back to those days, people's hearts have changed! Three years ago, this king removed you from the loyal king, and now it should be said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked you back from his house, has he ever embarrassed you for half a point? Don't think that the prince said something for you behind your back, he didn't even let out a fart......" Li Mao said more and more, and became more and more confused, from childhood memories to the stubbornness of youth, and then to recall all kinds of things when Concubine Wu Hui was alive.

From Qiu Xiang to Mei Lan Zhu Ju, and from Mei Lan Zhu Ju to the three of them, the eight girls were almost inseparable from Li Mao at the beginning, and even if Li Mao was fostered to Ning Wang's Mansion, they were also sent by Concubine Wu Hui to play with them from time to time...... Of course, there are also Yu Siniang among these people, because at this moment, she and Qiu Xiang probably heard some rumors, and they had already run back with Mei Lan Zhuju with an anxious face.

"Your Highness, why did Xiao Ju make you angry, why did you even block Brother Xiaojing and Brother Wangcai from the door?" "What are you doing here, aren't you going to let yourselves eat first? This king just wants to talk to them about the past feelings, this king really can't understand where he is sorry for them, they want to harm this king and his mother so ruthlessly! ”

As soon as Li Mao's words came out, Xiao Ju and the three of them knelt down on the spot, and even Yu Siniang and Qiu Xiang couldn't stop them. "Your Highness, what the hell is going on? You just said that Xiaoju and they hurt you and your mother, how is this possible...... They weren't the ones you said were loyal...... Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deceived him? So you want to punish them for being slaves and maids for three years, now that the time is up, why do you make a fuss again, the slave family definitely doesn't believe that Xiaoju will be so ......"

"Okay, don't make trouble if you have a big belly, Xiaomei, the four of you take Siniang back to the room to rest, don't move the fetus!" Li Mao saw that Yu Siniang was a little emotional, so she immediately got up and took her shoulders to send people outside the house in a slightly softened tone.

"Your Highness... Is it okay for you to promise the slave family? No matter what big mistakes the three of them make, don't hurt them! The eight of us have been like sisters since childhood...... "I know, this king won't hurt them, go back, don't you still believe this king?" Li Mao finished speaking to Yu Siniang with a smile on his face, turned around and walked back to the room, but when he raised his face again, his eyes suddenly showed a gloomy gaze, maybe this kind of transformation even Li Mao himself has not felt, because the years of battlefield conquest and intrigue in the palace have already made the soul in his heart adapt to his identity as a prince, and even the awe of life has decreased a lot.

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Sakura, this king will give you two one last chance, if you are still obsessed and do not regret it, you will not blame this king for turning his face and not recognizing people, do you know who Xiao Ju is? She's an agent sent by the former Turkic Khanate, you know? ”

After Li Mao finished speaking, even if he reached out to Xiao Ju's collar and lifted the slender Xiao Ju in the air with a slight force, but it was also at such a moment when he saw the dagger, Xiao Ju's face suddenly changed, and he completely lost Fang Cai's pitiful appearance, and instead immediately slipped out of the cuff and stabbed a dagger straight at Li Mao's lower abdomen.

But Li Mao was like an unpredictable prophet, easily dodging, and Qiu Xiang quickly knocked down the dagger in Xiao Ju's hand. "Xiaoju, are you crazy?" "Sister Qiuxiang, Xiaoju, I'm not crazy, this kung fu was taught to Xiaoju by you at the beginning, it's a pity, it's a pity, I thought that His Royal Highness had already been hollowed out of his body by being with women all day long, but I didn't expect his movements to be so sensitive, it's a pity that Xiaoju I can't fulfill my long-cherished wish for Grandpa in this life, it's a pity, and the foundation of my Turkic Khanate for hundreds of years is ruined in the hands of this vicious guy in front of me......"

"Xiaoju, you really hate this king and me so much, it is true that the Turkic Khanate was destroyed under my arrangement, but have you ever thought that if there is no such quick sword and chaos to take the action of destroying the country, do you know how many years the Tang and Turkic kingdoms will continue to fight in the future? Not to mention anything else, haven't you heard the phrase that long pain is better than short pain? And in the past three years, the people of Anbei Protectorate, whether Turkic or I, the Tang Dynasty, have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and are no longer disturbed by the war, have you turned a blind eye to these? ”

When Li Mao said this, she still put Xiaoju down a little softly, and then took great pains to tidy up her collar. "Xiaoju, your grandfather Gu wants to wait for you in the suburban garden, for the sake of the old love, and the face of Qiuxiang Siniang, this king will reunite your father and daughter today, but you listen to this king, the rest of the time is good to serve the old father, don't get involved in these meaningless political affairs, Wangcai, you send Xiaoju over! If the guards at the door inquire about it, they will say that Xiao Ju is the maid that this king gave to the old national teacher Gu Xu, so they should not be embarrassed! "......"

After Wangcai responded to Li Mao, Xiaoju suddenly stared at Li Mao like a stranger, and it took a long time to ask a question that even Qiu Xiang was dumbfounded.

"His Royal Highness the King of Xiaoyao, Xiao Ju has always wanted to ask you a question in person, I don't know if you can answer the slave truthfully!" "Ask, this king will answer you truthfully!"

"Why did you only choose the four of Meilan Zhuju in the first place, and left the slave family and Xiao Tao Sakura to serve by Niangniang's side!" "There is no important reason, it's just that the three of you are more careful, and my mother also needed a few caring people around me at that time! That's all......" "Your Highness, have you ever thought of keeping the three of us by your side to serve!" "I've thought about it! It's always been conceived like this, but there is no suitable opportunity, otherwise why would I bother to get you back from others, if I want to blame you for taking care of your mother, you can send someone to kill you, Xiaoju, you shouldn't doubt that this king and I don't have this ability! ”

After Li Mao said this, he was amused, but after hearing him say this with such a smile, Xiaoju and Xiaotao all shed tears! "Your Highness...... Why didn't you say it earlier! After Xiao Tao and Xiao Sakura shouted such a sentence, they actually raised their hands almost at the same time to pull off the hairpin on their heads and stab them in the throat, and in the face of such a sudden change, although Li Mao and Qiu Xiang were the closest, they almost did not react at all.

But fortunately, Zhang Xiaojing, who had been on guard for a long time, stood outside the door and quickly threw out a dart, which stopped the suicide of the two.

"Why are you doing this? Does this king make you so cold? Wangcai sent Xiao Ju Haosheng over, Qiu Xiang and the two of them will be handed over to you to deal with, damn it......" Li Mao clenched his fists while scolding, and then walked out of the small courtyard with a little trembling anger. -->
