And Xiao Xirou's expression was indifferent, and she didn't realize how rebellious her words were, but she thought that what she said was not wrong at all, after all, now that the Queen Mother has gone to Ji Qirui and him, there is no use value for him.

Now that the emperor already knows the truth, thinking of the friendship between their mother and son, he can still let the queen mother stay in the palace, and it is already the biggest face to make offerings that have not happened to them.

So even if the Queen Mother is dissatisfied and unwilling, she can only choose to swallow her anger, otherwise she will face the punishment she deserves.

The Queen Mother coughed violently in a hurry, but Xiao Xirou didn't even raise her eyelids, and even took two steps back in disgust, and said to the maid waiting beside her, "The Queen Mother should take medicine when the time comes, don't you even know this? How to serve. If this palace is also infected, you will not be able to eat and walk around!"

These maids were all personally selected and trusted by the emperor in order to prevent the queen mother from doing anything else, naturally they didn't know the queen mother's living habits, and after hearing Xiao Xirou's reprimand, they got busy.

But the Queen Mother said, "The mourning family is not confused, how can they not even remember these things? Queen, you don't have to be arrogant in front of the mourning family, show off your might, and feel that now that the mourning family has no mother, there is no backer, and your Xiao family can monopolize the power of the previous dynasty, and you can look down on the mourning family. Don't forget, the mourning family is His Majesty's biological mother, the noble Queen Mother, your Xiao family's smash hit is just a thing in the hands of His Majesty, and the Mourning family is the Queen Mother who His Majesty has to bow down when he sees him, and he has provoked the Mourning family, how much ability do you think you have?"

Seeing Xiao Xirou's face gradually becoming difficult to look at, the Queen Mother looked at her with a sneer, but soon the other party regained her calm expression and said, "Queen Mother, what did the concubine say that is not the truth? Now that the words have been made clear, the concubine will retire first, and the queen mother will definitely take care of herself." After that, she turned around and left without looking back, which also means that Ji Qirui's choice of concubine has nothing to do with the queen mother, and her plan to install her cronies next to the prince has failed.

The Queen Mother was angry, but at this time, a maid brought the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and she was also angrily knocked to the ground and reprimanded them: "The mourning family doesn't want to drink medicine now, can't you see it? Stand down!"

The subordinates in the dormitory knelt on the ground one after another, and after hearing the order of the Queen Mother, they did not dare to hesitate to crawl out of here, for fear that they would be in a different place if they delayed for a while.

The Queen Mother was left alone in the huge dormitory in an instant, which also allowed her to slowly calm down.

Thinking about what happened during this period of time, and why these things happened suddenly, the Queen Mother finally figured out that these were just Ji Changye's plans, and she was calculated.

After figuring out the ins and outs, the Queen Mother spat out helplessly, she didn't expect that she would fall into other people's schemes, and she was tricked around, that person turned out to be the person she claimed to know best, and Ji Changye, who had been raised since childhood.

But what if the truth is known now? She is gone, if the emperor investigates deeply, she will definitely not be able to escape, and now the emperor knows that he still leaves the last dignity, so that she can continue to be the queen mother has made her feel content, so naturally she does not dare to make a mistake in front of the emperor and mention this matter. So, even if she figured it out, she could only bury it in her heart.

"Queen Mother, no matter what, don't be angry with your body." At this time, the old eunuch came over and squatted on the ground with a bowl of medicine again, and said to the Queen Mother cautiously.

"Do you say that the mourning family was too confused at the beginning, and they would be implicated with people like the prince and them?"

She also regrets it now, thinking that if she had rejected the Xiao family at the beginning, would it not have come to this point?

The old eunuch carefully blew the hot medicine in the bowl for the Queen Mother, and listened to her words and comforted: "Queen Mother, don't worry, the Xiao family is the first to suffer if something happens, and Your Majesty will not be able to find out about us for a while, and you are Your Majesty's biological mother, how can Your Majesty not remember the old feelings?" Besides, those people are princelings, what does it have to do with us?" As he spoke, he handed the medicine that was almost cold to the Queen Mother.

Listen to him

, The Queen Mother felt that there was some reason, so she took the medicine bowl in his hand, and immediately sneered: "Yes, it should be the queen and the prince who are in dire straits now, and the mourning family just helped them do something insignificant, how could it involve the mourning family?" Suddenly, he felt much better.

At the same time, Xiao Xirou returned to the queen's bedroom.

What she didn't expect was that Ji Qirui was actually here.

"The Queen Mother." Ji Qirui looked haggard, as if he had experienced a lot of torture, and indeed after what those people had done was exposed, he was worried day and night, afraid that they would confess him, so he hadn't rested for a long time.

He came to Xiao Xirou this time to discuss this matter and see if there was a good solution, so that he could be freed from these worries.

Xiao Xirou hurriedly closed the door behind her, letting the subordinates under her retreat, and then walked up to Ji Qirui and said, "Rui'er, why did you enter the palace? Now that the wind is so tight, what if something happens? If you have something to say, don't let anyone get hold of it."

Now she has calmed down, thinking about what she did in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and now she regrets it a little, after all, he also knows that this kind of thing has happened now, and they are the first to suffer.

"I came to the palace to find you for this purpose. I don't know why, what they did before has not been exposed, and now not only is it exposed, but there are so many people together, if it weren't for their tight mouths, and so much time has passed, otherwise I would have been imprisoned in the country. So the queen mother, you said that this matter could not be caused by someone behind the scenes, otherwise it would not be exposed, right?"

Ever since this kind of thing happened, Ji Qirui has been thinking about how this matter was exposed, but after thinking about it for so long, he still can't figure it out.

These words made Xiao Xirou ponder, she was also suspicious of this matter at first, but she felt that since there were no flaws before, how could others investigate it?

But soon Xiao Xirou thought of someone.

"Could it be that person is ......" Xiao Xirou wanted to speak and stopped, and Ji Qirui's surprised eyes also came, obviously the person the two people thought of was the same person.

They knew each other, and neither of them could say their names.

Ji Qirui gritted his teeth and endured his anger and said, "I didn't expect them to make trouble behind their backs!" He originally thought that the time in the exiled land would allow them to restrain themselves a little and know the gap between them and himself, but he didn't expect that instead of restraining them, they would even intensify their efforts to harm themselves behind their backs.

Xiao Xirou exhaled and soothed him, "Now that there is no evidence, there is no way for us to do anything with them. Even if you know, there's nothing you can do. The most important question now is, how do we solve this problem? We can't let the gaffe go bad, or it will be too late when they can't bear to roll everything out." But now they can't do anything, after all, the emperor hasn't said anything or done anything to them, and if they do, it's easy to expose themselves and not admit themselves.

"There's nothing we can do, but we can just as much as we can retaliate and let them know what happens to us." Ji Qirui didn't think about how to protect herself, she just wanted them to pay the price now, knowing that she couldn't move an inch.

Listening to her words, Xiao Xirou felt that she was so impulsive, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "By all means, although Your Majesty has not yet found out about this matter, it must also be suspicious of us, so if you do anything, it will definitely be under Your Majesty's surveillance, and we can't act rashly." At this juncture, they still have to settle down and don't cause trouble.

Ji Qirui said helplessly, "Then what else can I do? Are we just going to sit back and wait? Wouldn't this make them pinch as soft persimmons? This breath is unbearable, this prince is a noble prince today, and they actually feel like this to this prince."

This is what really makes him angry, he has already sensed that his identity has been threatened, the emperor no longer fully trusts him, and there is a possibility that the crown prince will be abolished at any time, so he

His position was in jeopardy, and he naturally couldn't watch his position as the crown prince being snatched away by others, especially Ji Changye.

But Xiao Xirou can't do anything, after all, the impact of this incident on the Xiao family is not small, his father has been extremely disappointed in them, and he won't help them anymore, they can only rely on themselves now, and they can't rely on others.

At this moment, suddenly the old eunuch came with the queen mother's decree.

Xiao Xirou didn't expect that he had just finished confronting the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother had brought Yi Zhi to him, and he didn't know why he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and felt that this time the person who came was not good.

If the old eunuch's expression was solemn, and there was a little bit of disdain, he didn't flash their eyes, but he just said the queen mother's Yi Zhinian after a perfunctory salute: "The queen is the master of the harem, but she is not virtuous, and she is disrespectful to the queen mother and violates the ethics of the ancestors, but the queen mother is virtuous and virtuous on weekdays, and she has meritorious service in managing the harem, so she is exempted from serious criminal laws, but she has to go to the queen mother's bedroom to kneel and apologize, three hours a day."

After that, he handed the decree to Xiao Xirou and said, "Queen Mother, please accept the decree. And this decree will take effect today, so now please go with the old slave to the queen mother's dormitory and bow down and apologize."

The Queen Mother still has to give Xiao Xirou a powerful look, so that he knows that she can't afford to provoke her, even if she is down. The identity is also more noble than Xiao Xirou, so he will punish her to set an example and let the entire harem know that he is not easy to mess with.

Xiao Xirou's face suddenly turned ugly, and she bit her lip and calmly accepted the queen mother's will, after all, she was too arrogant in the queen mother's bedroom just now, and when she left the queen mother's bedroom, she already knew that the queen mother would definitely make up for it.

In order not to implicate Ji Qirui, Xiao Xirou said to him, "Don't mention it to outsiders, you've been here in this palace, do you know?"

"Queen Mother! ……」

Ji Qirui's expression was worried and he didn't know what was going on, and before Ji Qirui could finish speaking, Xiao Xirou followed the old eunuch and left here.
