Chapter 246: Quid pro quo
Concubine Xiao looked around and whispered, "Let's go out and talk." β
"Okay."
The two came to the courtyard.
Ah Yao looked at Concubine Xiao, "Can you say it now?" β
Concubine Xiao slowly turned to look at her, took a deep breath and said: "Your mother was the richest man in the world back then, and she was a famous female doctor fairy, and there were countless people in various countries who targeted her, but she was strong in martial arts, and no one could get any benefit from her."
But on the day she gave birth, it was a good opportunity to kill her, but there were not many people who knew that she was giving birth, and there must be something wrong with the people who spread the news of her delivery. β
"Who knew when she gave birth?" Yao asked.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan, Concubine Jing and me, as well as Yun Niang who is close to her."
Yun Niang was loyal to Soho, and even desperately took her away and protected her life.
The emperor is infatuated with Soho, and has always been thinking about Soho for many years, and has always been sorry for Soho's death.
They're certainly not going to hurt Soho.
Then there are only Concubine Wan, Concubine Jing and Concubine Xiao left.
After Soho passed away, most of the properties under his name fell under Xiao Mu's name, and Concubine Xiao is very suspicious at the moment.
She slowly fell her gaze on Concubine Xiao, "Are you trying to hint to me that Concubine Jing, Concubine Wan, and you all have the possibility of harming my mother?" β
Concubine Xiao hooked her lips and sneered, "A few days before your mother was killed, Concubine Jing often went to your mother's courtyard, so you can ask her." β
Concubine Jing has always disliked Soho, and the possibility of her harming Soho seems to be very high.
Ah Yao didn't show too much emotion because of Concubine Xiao's words, and her face was always unwavering.
"What were you doing in the library of the Tai Hospital?" Ah Yao took the opportunity to ask about it.
"Tai Hospital Library?"
Concubine Xiao thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: "You mean the library that your mother founded in the Tai Hospital?" β
"Yes."
The three ladies of the harem have never been to the Tai Hospital, but they went to the library of the Tai Hospital at the same time on a certain day in a certain year, and it is difficult not to be suspicious.
"Went to find something." Concubine Xiao replied.
"Looking for what?"
Concubine Xiao was speechless for a while.
"What did you take from the Library?" Ah Yao asked.
"I ...... Didn't take anything. β
"And what are you going to take?"
"I ......"
Concubine Xiao was speechless again.
"What secrets can't be told by the mother?"
Concubine Xiao smiled awkwardly, "What secrets can I have?" Don't think about it. β
"Then what are you doing in the Library?"
"I ......"
"It's okay if you don't say it, but in the future, I may stare at Xiao Mu, if I dig out some ulterior secrets, then I can't complain about it."
"You ......"
Concubine Xiao hesitated for a long time, and finally compromised and spoke, "I went to the Library Pavilion to find a manual for your mother." β
"What manual?"
"It is said to be a handbook that records her life's wealth." Concubine Xiao said truthfully.
Lifelong wealth!?
Soho is the richest man in the world, and her lifetime wealth is unimaginable to anyone.
No one doesn't like money, and the imperial princess is no exception.
"Did you find it?"
Concubine Xiao shook her head, "I'm the second to enter the Library Pavilion, Concubine Wan has already been to the Library Pavilion before me, and the things must have been taken by her." β
"You said Concubine Wan went to the Library Pavilion before you?" Yao asked.
Concubine Xiao nodded, "That's right!" When I went, I saw her name right in front of me. β
That's not right!
When she went to the library to check the list of borrowers, she saw that Concubine Xiao was the first, Concubine Wan was second, and Concubine Jing was the last.
But why did Concubine Xiao say that she was the second to go?
She looked at Concubine Xiao suspiciously, "Are you sure you're the second to enter the Library Pavilion?" β
"Sure! The hospital has a borrowing list, if you don't believe it, you can check it, I don't have to lie about this kind of thing, right? β
The borrowing list clearly stated that Concubine Xiao was the first to enter the library, but she insisted that she was the second to enter the library.
As long as Ah Yao went to the library to check, she could easily debunk Concubine Xiao's lie, and she didn't need to tell this lie.
So why is that?
It seems that if she wants to know the answer, A-Yao has to go to the library of Tai Hospital again.
"Where did you come to know that Soho's handbook contains the news of your life's wealth?" Yao asked.
"This ...... I can't tell you. β
Ah Yao frowned, "Why can't you tell me?" β
"I only promise to tell you the news related to your mother, other things are my private affairs, I can't tell you."
Concubine Xiao's network is not complicated, and apart from the mysterious person who can tell Concubine Xiao, A-Yao can't think of anyone else.
She must confirm that it was not a mysterious person who told Concubine Xiao!
"I have to know this, otherwise how would I know if what you said earlier is true or false." Ah Yao said calmly.
"You ......"
"If you don't say it, then I can't believe what you said earlier, and our previous agreement will be null and void."
When the words fell, A-Yao turned around and was about to leave.
Concubine Xiao hurriedly called out to her, "You wait! β
The corners of her mouth hooked up into a light smile that was not easy to detect, "Niangniang has thought clearly?" β
Concubine Xiao had no choice but to compromise, "It's a mysterious person, and I don't know his true identity, but he will bring me real news every time, and I believe him." β
"What news did he bring you?" Ah Yao asked.
"Naturally, it's the news I need, and the content of those messages has nothing to do with you, right?"
Ah Yao nodded and didn't ask too much.
She confirmed her guess, and sure enough, it was the mysterious person who gave Concubine Xiao the news, and Concubine Xiao would go to the library of the Tai Hospital to find the manual.
Then why did Concubine Jing go to the library of the Tai Hospital?
Who is this mysterious person? Why did he know so much about Soho?
It seems that she still needs Rose, continue to help her keep an eye on Concubine Xiao.
"I've said everything I should have said, you should already know it in your heart, remember what you promised me."
"You take care of Xiao Mu and don't provoke me again."
After speaking, Ah Yao turned around and left the Xiao Mansion.
Seeing her go away, Concubine Xiao returned to Xiao's old room.
Xiao Mu hurriedly rushed forward, "Sister, where is A-Yao's slut?" β
"Gone!"
"You let her go? She killed her father, how can you let her go? I'm going to settle accounts with her. β
Concubine Xiao shouted: "Stop! β
Xiao Mu looked back at her in confusion.
"The emperor has already said that this matter will be stopped, if you trouble her again, the emperor will not spare you."
"Sister......
"Xiao Mu, don't provoke A-Yao in the future, be honest and be your boss Xiao, don't provoke me anymore."
Xiao Mu immediately changed his face, "Sister, how can you talk like this?" Who am I doing these for? β
Concubine Xiao didn't answer.
She naturally understood in her heart that these outrageous things that Xiao Mu did were all caused by Li Hao's provocation of Lan Xin.
Because of this, she will protect Xiao Mu.
If not, she wouldn't have bothered with these things.
"No matter who you are for, don't provoke A-Yao in the future, there can't be a next time."
"Sister......
Concubine Xiao interrupted Xiao Mu in a cold voice, "I will send someone to take care of my father's funeral, you can calm down for a few days first!" β
"Sisterβ"
Ignoring Xiao Mu's roar, Concubine Xiao left the Xiao Mansion.
β¦β¦
Su House, outside the Begonia House.
Ah Yao knocked on the door, "Begonia, are you okay?" β
"I'm fine, I want to sleep for a while, girl, let's go first!"
"Haitang, I'm sorry, I didn't kill Xiao Mu to avenge you."
Haitang smiled and comforted her, "The girl killed those people who bullied me on the spot, and I'm already very satisfied." β
Haitang knew that Xiao Mu was Concubine Xiao's younger brother, and it was not easy to move Xiao Mu.
"Begonia ......"
"Girl, go back first!"
Ah Yao stared at the closed door, and finally changed her words, "Okay, then you can rest in peace." β
Ah Yao went to Rong Qianhan again.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard gate, she saw Rong Qianhan standing in the courtyard with her hands in her hands, waiting for her.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Rong Qianhan nodded, "Song Yi has told this king everything, you don't have to think about it." β
She came to Rong Qianhan and took a deep breath sadly, "I don't understand why the emperor knows that Xiao Mu is guilty, why should he let Xiao Mu go?" β
"If this king is the emperor, he will make the same decision as the emperor."
She looked at Rong Qianhan in surprise, "Why?" β
"Xiao Mu deserves death, but we don't want you to be hurt a little."
Ah Yao didn't answer.
Rong Qianhan gently held her hand, "Why doesn't the emperor know that Xiao Mu is guilty?" But if he punishes Xiao Mu, you will not be able to escape the responsibility, so he would rather let Xiao Mu go this time than let you be held accountable, you shouldn't blame him. β
"But he is clearly the emperor's ......"
"The emperor must also abide by the legal principles he has set, otherwise it will be difficult for him to convince the public."
Ah Yao pouted in displeasure and complained in a low voice: "I can't think as much as you think, I just want to kill Xiao Mu to avenge Haitang." β
Rong Qianhan pinched her nose dotingly, and said with a smile: "With Xiao Mu's personality and personality, it is easy for you to grasp his handle, and there will be a chance to kill him in the future." β
"But I still can't swallow it."
As soon as she thought of Begonia being treated like that by them, she couldn't wait to peel off Xiao Mu's skin.
Rong Qianhan smiled at her, "How about the king of this book let Song Yi sneak into the Xiao Mansion tonight and directly take Xiao Mu's dog's life?" β
"Don't!"
"What? Don't want to do it again? Rong Qianhan asked deliberately.
"Your identity is not suitable for this."
Rong Qianhan is the regent of Dongli, if he kills Xiao Mu, it will involve the grievances between the two countries, and the matter will be big.
Although she wanted Xiao Mu's life, she was not enough to let Rong Qianhan come forward.
"Forget it! I'll listen to you, and I'll slowly find an opportunity to kill him in the future. β
"That's right."
Rong Qianhan was just about to lead her into the house, when she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly broke free from his hand.
He looked at her puzzled, "What's wrong?" β
"I'm going to see my mother, I'll go first."
She hurriedly turned around and was about to leave.
Rong Qianhan dragged her back and looked into her eyes.
She dodged Rong Qianhan's burning gaze and asked in a low voice, "What is the prince doing?" β
"This king has analyzed so much for you, and you have to leave without even saying a word of thanks?"
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Ah Yao said.
Rong Qianhan leaned closer to her, "Have you forgotten what this king said, what is this king's favorite way to thank you?" β
