At this moment, in the warm pavilion of the imperial garden, the queen mother and the emperor sat on the main seat, and the two of them looked at Xiao Mingzhu who was slightly bowed and talking.

The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor with no expression, he immediately understood that the queen mother did not have much affection for Xiao Mingzhu, and to be honest, he also regretted calling this little girl into the palace.

Wang Guifei, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't see what the queen mother and the emperor were thinking, and couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart, Xiao Mingzhu could see that driving had a great relationship with her.

Xiao Mingzhu thought that she had been talking for a long time, and it was not that she was talking about the great crime of rebellion against Xiao Xuanbao in the Ding'an Hou Mansion, she said that she was happy, but when she raised her eyes, she found that the emperor and the queen mother were looking at her with black faces.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor really can't see through Xiao Mingzhu, the little girl who has never entered the palace is not timid in the face of them, her words and deeds are completely inconsistent with her age, especially her flashing ambition and greedy eyes, which is not a simple role at first glance.

The Marquis of Ding'an has the grace of nurturing Xiao Mingzhu, although he has raised her for a few years, but if it weren't for the county lord of Rouping who adopted her as his adopted daughter, how could she have such a comfortable life? Who is eligible to enter the palace?

Now, Xiao Mingzhu said these words in front of the emperor, whether it was true or not, it was obvious that the Xiao family had spent several years raising white-eyed wolves.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor are thinking about who is behind the scenes? Doesn't Xiao Mingzhu know that the Hou Mansion is her biggest reliance? Why is she bent on bringing down the Xiao family?

At this time, Mama Wen came in to report that Laifu had entered the palace with Xuanbao and would arrive soon, and the Queen Mother and the emperor smiled when they heard this.

The attitude towards herself and Xuanbao was completely different, Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help clenching her fists, and then she let go of her fists and raised a smile and half-turned to look out of the door.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Queen Mother and the emperor were not paying attention, Wang Guifei gave Xiao Mingzhu a warning look.

To be honest, Wang Guifei regretted it, she was drenched in cold sweat when she heard Xiao Mingzhu's words just now. She was a ghost, she originally thought that this little girl entered the palace to add to the Xiao family and smear the Xiao family.

I never expected that this girl would be like a demon, talking about earth-shattering things, Wang Guifei had a bitter face this time, but she was hurt by her son Dongfang Yao, it was he who asked her to create an opportunity for Xiao Mingzhu to see the driver, in fact, she saw Xiao Mingzhu for the first time today.

"Do you know what she's talking about?" The emperor asked lightly.

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Guifei stood up tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't know." ”

"I don't know?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wang Guifei knelt down with her legs weak in the emperor's sharp eyes: "The emperor has clearly investigated, and the concubine is also the first time to see the girl of the Xiao family." ”

"Oh?" The emperor's tone was obviously disbelieving.

In fact, Wang Guifei didn't think about it so deeply, but she happened to hear the emperor say that he wanted to summon Xuanbao, and remembered what Dongfang Yao said before, so she added fuel to the fire and talked about Xiao Mingzhu.

It just so happened that the emperor also heard about Xiao Mingzhu's feud with Xuanbao, so he thought about summoning her into the palace and beating her a few words by the way.

It is impossible to push her son out, if she doesn't defend herself, she will collude with Xiao Mingzhu and be suspected of interfering in the government of the harem, if you really want to talk about the crime, it is a big crime. Thinking of this, Wang Guifei gritted her teeth, for the sake of today's plan, she can only say this to make the emperor believe a little.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Guifei stabilized her mind and said: "The concubine stays in the palace all day, and she has nothing to do to think about Yao'er, and she is not small, he once talked about the two young ladies of the Xiao family, and the concubine Xuanbao has met a few times, so ......." ”

Wang Guifei didn't need to say much, the Queen Mother and the emperor understood the meaning of her words as soon as they heard it, she was careful and wanted to find a suitable person for Dongfang Yao, this explanation was reasonable, and the expressions of the two of them eased a little.

If Xuanbao, a real little doll, was present, she would definitely not understand the meaning of Wang Guifei's words, but Xiao Mingzhu's body was an adult soul, and she understood it at once.

Wang Guifei deliberately chose a woman for Dongfang Yao, Xiao Mingzhu was not surprised or even secretly happy, she and him were destined for fate after all, and they would definitely be together.

Finding that Xiao Mingzhu was shy and timid, revealing a girl's Huaichun smile, the servants present frowned at the same time.

"Aunt of the Queen Mother, Uncle of the Emperor." Xuan Bao grinned and stepped into the threshold, "Ouch, the concubine is also here." ”

Xuanbao retracted his feet and stood obediently at the door: "Can I come in?" ”

Seeing the well-behaved little doll, the Queen Mother grinned: "Why don't you come in and let the mourning family take a look." ”

"Yes." Xuan Bao jumped up and down to the Queen Mother, "I haven't been in the palace for a few days, and my aunt misses me?" ”

"You little clever ghost." The Queen Mother's tone was doting, "If I don't summon you, you won't enter the palace." ”

Xuanbao turned to the emperor and smiled: "This time my uncle misses me, and he summoned me into the palace." ”

"Well, I originally summoned you into the palace to chat," the emperor's eyes fell on the stunned Wang Guifei and Xiao Mingzhu.

I have long heard that the Queen Mother and the emperor love Xuanbao, but it is one thing to hear it, and it is another thing to see it with your own eyes, not to mention Xiao Mingzhu, even Wang Guifei is the first time to see someone so presumptuous in front of the two of them, but the two of them are not the slightest displeasure and smile. What pampering? It's a big spoiler.

"Originally?" Xuan Bao grabbed the key words in the emperor's words and turned his voice to look at Wang Guifei and then at Xiao Mingzhu, "What about now?" ”

"Now, Xiao Mingzhu said that your Xiao family was guilty of rebellion, and that the evidence was in the Hou Mansion."

The emperor's face changed in seconds, he was still a kind cousin just now, and in an instant he was the emperor on top.

Xuan Bao was not surprised at all, but he was secretly sad for his grandmother, Xiao Mingzhu's letter must have been delivered to Xiao Liao, and he also made a choice between family affection and power.

"Do the Queen Mother and the Emperor believe what she said?" Xuan Bao asked seriously with a small face.

"I don't believe it." The Queen Mother replied decisively.

The emperor was silent for a moment before he said, "I want to get to the bottom of it." ”

Xuan Bao smiled slightly, the Queen Mother's aunt believed in the Xiao family from the bottom of her heart, as for what her cousin said, it was not surprising that he was the emperor, and the emperor was suspicious, even if he didn't say that he would give him a clue.

"In this case, the Qing is self-purifying, and the emperor can do what he wants." Xuan Bao bowed slightly and said.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, he could feel that Xuanbao, who was originally quite close to him, had distanced himself and even drawn a line with him in an instant, the emperor was alone after all, and the family affection he felt on the little doll during these days disappeared.

The Praetorian Guards received an order to search the Ding'an Marquis Mansion, which caused a shock in the capital, and without warning, it was so open-minded that the Manchu Dynasty was shocked and at the same time could not understand the emperor's meaning.

When the Praetorian Guards came to the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xiao Lao Taijun and the county lord of Rouping calmly opened the door to greet each other.
