Chapter 242: Go to the Xiao Mansion to find clues
Concubine Xiao and the emperor looked at each other in embarrassment, and neither of them spoke again.
Xiao Mu pointed at A-Yao and said, "Don't you know what to do? Who do you think wants to offset? My father was kind to the court, and it is an unforgivable sin for you to dare to hurt the heroes! ”
"Xiao Mu!" Concubine Xiao reminded.
Xiao Mu glanced at the emperor and restrained himself slightly.
The emperor glanced at Concubine Xiao's sister and brother, and slowly walked towards A-Yao, "You come over with me, I have something to say to you." ”
Ah Yao followed the emperor to the courtyard.
Xiao Mu's eyes followed the two of them away, and he hurriedly came to Concubine Xiao's side and asked, "Sister, do you think the emperor will really convict me in order to defend A-Yao?" ”
"No, it won't."
"You're sure you won't?" Xiao Mu asked.
"He is the emperor, if he wants to defend Ayao regardless of the legal principles of southern Xinjiang, he is slapping himself in the face, if this matter spreads, where is his face?
Besides, I have been married to the emperor for many years, and I still know a little bit about his temperament, he is a generous personality, iron-faced and selfless person, and he will never conceive the legal principles of southern Xinjiang in order to protect A-Yao. Concubine Xiao confidently analyzed.
Xiao Mu's face was delighted, and the corners of his mouth rose proudly, "That's great, I must make that slut look good today." ”
"But don't be too happy, Ah Yao is Soho's daughter after all, and the emperor has deep feelings for Soho, so he won't do anything to her."
Xiao Mu snorted coldly: "Even if you can't kill her, let her kneel at my feet and kowtow to me to apologize." ”
"This should work."
The two siblings looked at each other and smiled, and began to plan the rest of the story.
Ah Yao followed the emperor to the courtyard, and saw that the emperor had been facing away from her, and she didn't react at all or speak, so she couldn't help but look over.
"What does the emperor want to tell me when he asks me to come out?"
The emperor turned to look at her angrily, "You, you!" This character is exactly the same as your mother. ”
"It's Xiao Mu who has to come to provoke me, he deserves it!" She muttered quietly.
"What about Xiao Lao?"
Ah Yao's eyes wandered, and her heart was weak to defend herself, "I didn't know that the fire would spread from Xiao Mu's courtyard to Xiao Lao's room, right?" ”
After saying that, she quickly realized that something was wrong.
She frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Has the emperor ever been to the Xiao Mansion?" ”
"Last year, on Xiao Lao's sixtieth birthday, I went there once, what are you asking for?"
"Then do you know that Xiao Mu's yard is next to Xiao Lao's yard?"
The emperor smiled, "That's naturally not, the layout of my houses in southern Xinjiang is roughly similar, and the courtyards where several masters live in the house will not be next to each other." ”
Ah Yao pondered for a moment, and suddenly figured out one thing.
She looked at the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you believe me?" ”
"You're my daughter, I don't believe you, who else can I trust?"
"Then I said that Xiao Lao was not burned by my fire, do you believe it?"
The emperor was confused when he heard this, and said with a puzzled face: "Could it be that there were other people who went to Xiao Mansion to set fire that night?" ”
Yao nodded.
"How can this be true? Who set fire to Xiao Mansion again, and planted the blame on your head? ”
"Xiao Mu!" Ah Yao said calmly.
"Xiao Mu?"
Ah Yao nodded, "That's him!" ”
The more the emperor listened, the more confused he became, "Xiao Mu set fire to his house and almost burned his own father?" No one will believe that. ”
"I believe it!"
"This ......"
"I can find evidence."
"Where's the evidence?" The emperor asked.
"It's in the Xiao Mansion."
The emperor understood, "So you want to go to Xiao Mansion?" ”
Ah Yao smiled and approached him, "I said that I wanted to go to Xiao Mansion, Xiao Mu and they would definitely not want to, but if the emperor wanted to go, they would definitely agree." ”
The emperor smiled and pointed his finger at her, "Your slippery head looks exactly the same as Soho." ”
"Hey...... Did the emperor agree? ”
"Hmm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." She happily gave a big gift to the emperor.
The emperor's face suddenly sank, and he reminded her solemnly, "Xiao Lao is an old hero in Southern Xinjiang, and Concubine Xiao is my pillow person, if you want to move Xiao Mu, then there must be ironclad evidence, otherwise don't waste your efforts." ”
"I understand."
"Let's go!"
The two returned to the house.
Concubine Xiao's sister and brother respectfully welcomed the emperor into the house.
"Your Majesty, you're back." Concubine Xiao was the first to speak.
The emperor glanced at the two of them and said, "I have already taught Ah Yao a hard lesson, and Ah Yao already has the heart to repent, so let her go to Xiao Mansion to apologize to Xiao Lao in person, and see Xiao Lao's attitude before talking about the rest of the matter." ”
Concubine Xiao's sister and brother glanced at each other, and both of them knew that this was an excuse found by the emperor to pardon Ah Yao.
It's a good idea to go to the Xiao Mansion to apologize.
Seeing that Concubine Xiao's sister and brother didn't answer for a long time, the emperor asked in a deep voice, "What does Concubine Xiao think?" ”
"The concubines obey the emperor's arrangement."
"Okay, then let's go to Xiao Mansion together!"
"Yes."
……
Shaw House.
Hearing the news that the emperor was coming, the subordinates of the Xiao Mansion greeted the emperor outside the door in advance.
After the emperor came down from the dragon chariot, he raised his eyes and looked at everyone, "All of them are exempt!" ”
"Yes."
Concubine Xiao's sister and brother welcomed the emperor into the mansion, and Ah Yao followed him into the mansion.
According to the agreement between the two in advance, the emperor will first visit Xiao Lao, who was burned.
Concubine Xiao's sister and brother welcomed the emperor to the courtyard where Xiao Lao was recuperating, Xiao Mu immediately entered the house to inform Xiao Lao, and Concubine Xiao accompanied the emperor.
"I heard my younger brother say that my father's legs were burned out, and he couldn't move or speak, so he could only lie on the bed, and the emperor had to be mentally prepared." Concubine Xiao reminded.
The emperor sighed lightly, "I never thought that Elder Xiao would become like this. ”
"My father's health was already bad, but now that he has suffered this fire for no reason, his body is even more ......"
Concubine Xiao choked up until she couldn't speak, and quietly turned her face to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The emperor shook her hand and comforted her softly: "Don't be too sad, I came to Xiao Mansion today to make decisions for Xiao Lao, and I will definitely not let the arsonist go." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Concubine Xiao thanked the emperor, she deliberately glanced back at Ah Yao.
Ah Yao happened to be looking at her, and the two looked at each other.
The corners of Concubine Xiao's mouth hooked, and she quickly led the emperor into Xiao Lao's room.
Xiao Mu crouched in front of Xiao Lao's bed, and shouted like a dutiful son: "Dad, the emperor and my sister have come back to see you, you can rest assured that the emperor will definitely make the decision for you." ”
Ah Yao stood far away, but she still saw Xiao Lao lying on the bed clearly.
Judging from his face, Xiao Lao is a kind and gentle person, his eyes seem to be mixed with a lot of things, and he seems to be eager to express something to the people around him.
The moment Xiao Lao saw the emperor, his eyes immediately moistened, and his fingers moved slightly.
"Old Xiao, are you okay?" The emperor asked.
Xiao Lao was speechless, and hurriedly burst out two lines of tears.
"My father must have been moved to tears because the emperor personally came to visit the palace." Xiao Mu explained.
"Rest assured, Xiao Lao, I will definitely find the best doctor in the world for you, and I will definitely cure you."
Ah Yao, who was standing not far away, pressed the tip of her tongue against her back molars, and did not intend to step forward to answer.
"Let Xiao Lao rest well, let's go out and talk!" The emperor said.
"Yes."
A few people said goodbye to Xiao Lao and walked out of Xiao Lao's room.
Ah Yao walked last, and before going out, she looked back at Xiao Lao.
Xiao Lao was also trying to look at her, and the eyes of the two touched together, and Xiao Lao's lips seemed to move.
Could it be that Xiao Lao wants to say something?
She glanced at the emperor and the others who were walking in front, and quickly came to Xiao Lao's bedside.
"Elder Xiao, do you have something to say to me?"
Seeing that Xiao Lao wanted to express it, but it was very difficult to express it, Ah Yao reminded: "If yes, you just blink." ”
Xiao Lao blinked.
"Say whatever you want!" She whispered to her.
Xiao Lao exerted all his strength, stumbled and said, "Xiao, Xiao Mu ......"
Xiao Lao kept repeating Xiao Mu's name.
What does this mean?
She pondered this question and walked out of Xiao Lao's room.
Concubine Xiao's sisters and brothers were surrounding the emperor to appeal their grievances, talking about Xiao Lao's past exploits, and at the same time denouncing Ah Yao's crime of arson, and they couldn't wait to dismantle Ah Yao on the spot.
This sister and brother are so interesting!
Seeing her coming, Xiao Mu hurriedly spoke, "Didn't you come to Xiao Mansion to apologize?" Now it's here, quickly confess and apologize, and accept the punishment you deserve! ”
"Don't worry, anyway, we all came to Xiao Mansion, otherwise let's go and see the courtyard where Xiao Lao was burned?" Yao proposed.
"What are you going to do in that yard?"
"Go see my masterpiece!"
Hearing this, Xiao Mu pointed at her and said to the emperor and Concubine Xiao: "Your Majesty, sister, have you all heard it?" She confessed that she had set fire to the Xiao Mansion. ”
"I've never denied it!" Ah Yao crossed her arms.
"You ......"
"Let's go! Go and see the yard where Xiao Lao was burned. "The emperor said.
"Yes."
Concubine Xiao immediately led the way for the emperor.
As soon as Ayao was about to follow, she was stopped by Xiao Mu.
She looked at Xiao Mu puzzled, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"You can't run away this time, if you are willing to kneel down and beg me, and listen to me obediently from now on, I can spare your life!"
After all, she is Soho's daughter, and Soho's previous connections are still there, and it is beneficial for him to be able to take her for himself.
A-Yao sneered, "I don't like to deal with bed bugs. ”
After speaking, Ah Yao walked straight forward.
Xiao Mu caught up with her in a hurry, "Who are you scolding for being a bedbug?" ”
"Whoever asks."
"Slut! You ......"
Seeing that the emperor and Concubine Xiao were walking away, Xiao Mu stretched out his hand to hit her.
She grabbed Xiao Mu's wrist and deliberately smiled at him, "Just because you want to hurt me?" ”
When the words fell, she twisted her backhand and twisted Xiao Mu's wrist out of her mortar.
"Ahh
"Does it hurt?"
Xiao Mu hung his wrist and glared at her viciously, "Slut! You're hurting me? You ......"
Syllable!
Before he could finish speaking, A-Yao gave him a loud slap in the face.
Coupled with Concubine Xiao's slap in the palace, now Xiao Mu has a fingerprint on the left and right sides of his face.
Ah Yao looked at his face with satisfaction and nodded, "It's much more pleasing to the eye now, don't thank me!" ”
"You ......"
Seeing A-Yao raise her hand, Xiao Mu was so frightened that he immediately tightened his neck.
"Boss Xiao is so afraid of me? But how much has you done? ”
Seeing that Xiao Mu didn't speak, she deliberately approached Xiao Mu and said in his ear: "Xiao Mu, I will return to you ten times the things you did to Begonia!" ”
