Chapter 79 Dark Fight in the Palace

Xiao Lingxiao sent the demon wolf sent to keep an eye on the old lady's side and soon came back to report, saying that the old lady's confidant quietly sent the news to Mu De's palace.

In this way, things became much clearer. It was not Qifu who cooperated with the eldest lady to kill Xiao Lingxiao, but King Mu De. In fact, Xiao Lingxiao also thought that even if it was the eldest lady's family, there was no need to take risks for such a married daughter as the eldest lady and a dispensable daughter as Qi Huile, while King Mude died a son, and this son still died with the reputation of a flower picker. I'm afraid no one could. Willing.

Since it was King Mu De who did it, of course, Xiao Lingxiao also had to count the hatred of sneaking on Xiao Fengming on him. As for what happened between him and the first lady, Xiao Lingxiao could only wait for the news from Xuan for the time being.

Because Xiao Lingxiao reported the case to Jing Zhaoyin, the robbery of Xiao Fengming is no longer a private matter of the Xiao family, but has become a righteous case. When the sixth prince was attacked, the emperor immediately ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest the bandits. The people on both sides were checking the same person, so the matter made a lot of noise in the blink of an eye. Xiao Shuyong got a million taels of silver from Xiao Lingxiao. Before he could come out happily, he was blocked by Jing Zhaoyin, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and even the internal servant Huangmen. The transaction written on the note is the most obvious clue. Even if Xiao Shuyong is the prime minister, he has to weigh the pros and cons and can't shirk the s.

What made Xiao Shuyong even more angry was that he didn't know whether Xiao Lingxiao did it on purpose. Several people who came knew that the silver of the million-two redeemer was made up by Xiao Lingxiao, and Xiao Shuyong also made an IOU for his own daughter. Although everyone didn't say anything, Xiao Shuyong still had an indescribable sense of humiliation in his heart. But it has been done, and he has no other choice. I just want this farce to end quickly and make free to deal with Xiao Lingxiao.

As written on the note, they went to the poplar forest at night to wait for redemption, and naturally they got nothing. Those who were waiting to investigate the case were disappointed and returned empty-handed, but Xiao Shuyong satisfactorily held back a silver ticket of one million taels of silver. The silver was in his hands, and of course it would not be returned to Xiao Lingxiao. When he returned to the Prime Minister's mansion, he happily went to the study and opened the wooden box and looked at it again, but found that there was no good silver ticket left and flew away!

Xiao Shuyong was shocked and frightened. He hurriedly gathered the people out to call back those people who went to wait for the robbers. Everyone was surprised to hear that the one million taels of silver tickets in Xiao Shuyong's hand were gone. But everyone looked at the wooden box containing the silver ticket with their own eyes, and the kidnapper did not appear. No one could tell where the silver ticket went. After tossing around all night, Xiao Shuyong could only write this account on the robber who knew that he did not exist at all, and had no choice but to return to the Prime Minister's mansion.

Returning to the study, Xiao Shuyong sat on the chair, tired and annoyed, and his whole body had no strength at all. He couldn't figure out why the silver ticket disappeared, but he knew that it would not take long for the rumor that the silver was actually secretly left by him.

If this silver is really hidden by him, he doesn't care about any gossip, but he spent so much effort that the bamboo basket was empty! It's really strange!

Just when Xiao Shuyong was puzzled, the rapid footsteps sounded, and someone slammed the door open and quickly rushed to Xiao Shuyong.

Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xiao Shuyong and asked rudely, "Father, where is my third cousin!"

In fact, this morning, the guy sneaked into Xiao Lingxiao's bedroom and wanted to sneak attack, but was kicked out by Xiao Lingxiao, who had been on guard for a long time.

When Xiao Shuyong saw Xiao Lingxiao's angry face, he couldn't help patting the table and said angrily, "Look at what you look like!" How dare you break into my study and yell at me again? Why don't you think I'm your father!"

Xiao Lingxiao sneered when he heard this, "If you don't think you are my father, we might as well talk about it later. You take my money to redeem my third cousin. Where are his people now!"

Xiao Shu stood up bravely and said loudly, "The robber did not appear according to the time and place written on the note, and Feng Ming did not appear at all! Several people from the government are present. If you don't believe me as a father, go and ask them!"

Xiao Lingxiao pretended to be surprised. After a long time, he held his hands and turned around twice and said, "In this case, we can only think about it in the long run. Father, you can return the silver ticket of one million taels of silver to me. Several of my businesses still need to turn around. I also have an explanation from Wan Guanzhuang.

As soon as Xiao Lingxiao said this, Xiao Shuyong suddenly seemed to be short, but after all, he was also a first-class member of the court and would not be confused about this kind of thing. He said in a low voice with a straight face, "I don't know why the box of silver tickets disappeared. Several people in the government can also prove this.

As soon as Xiao Lingxiao heard this, he immediately showed a more surprised expression and muttered, "People have not been saved, and the silver is gone? This is... Is this what the Prime Minister did?"

This sentence went into Xiao Shuyong's heart like a knife. Xiao Shuyong's face turned red for a while, and he simply wanted to find a crack to get in. However, this shame soon turned into anger towards Xiao Lingxiao. He turned out from behind the table and pointed to Xiao Lingxiao and scolded angrily, "You girl is really unruly!" If my father doesn't punish you today, I'm afraid you won't know it! Come on!"

Xiao Shuyong shouted, and a subordinate rushed in. He pointed to Xiao Lingxiao and shouted to the servants, "Drag this girl down and hit her 20 sticks again!"

Twenty sticks are enough to beat a weak woman alive. Xiao Shuyong did not show mercy at all. He said that he gritted his teeth.

People knew that Xiao Lingxiao could not be favored in this family, so they did not hesitate and rushed up with a hula. Xiao Lingxiao snorted coldly when she saw the situation and thought to himself, it seems that her aunt hasn't been strong for many days. You have forgotten the pain! Thinking of this, Xiao Lingxiao took a step forward and pulled out a half-man-high scroll from the big porcelain painting bottle next to Xiao Shuyong's desk, used this scroll as a weapon, and turned around with a sharp movement. With one after another howl, he put down several servants who rushed to the ground in the blink of an eye.

After effortlessly cleaning up a few servants, Xiao Lingxiao raised his arm and pointed to Xiao Shuyong with the scroll. He said coldly, "Father, as the prime minister, you might as well spend more effort to find a way. If we can find Fengming safe and sound, we can say anything. If we can't find Fengming, this million taels of silver. Even if the lawsuit is brought to the emperor, I, Xiao Lingxiao, must get it back!"

After saying this, Xiao Lingxiao put the painting shaft back into the picture bottle, took a look at the people who fell to the ground and cried, snorted coldly, and turned around and left.

After going out, Bao Ronger didn't go far, and Bao Ronger followed. The two looked at each other and smiled.

When this place is busy, the schedule on the lady's side has not changed. A carriage and horse slowly left, and the first lady went to the palace to see her relative, Qi Guifei.

In the Luanyan Palace, the eldest lady waited for a long time to see the noble concubine Qi and the stars holding the moon. Although Qi Guifei is over forty years old, she is well maintained and her temperament is calm and outstanding. She is dressed very simply, but no matter what she wears, she knows at a glance that they are very luxurious things.

The eldest lady knelt down to Qi Guifei with her belly. Qi Guifei did not stop her. After she worshipped, she asked someone to bring a round stool and let her sit down.

According to the generation, the eldest lady should be called Qi Guifei's cousin, but in fact, the two have almost no other relationship except for occasions such as palace banquets. Princess Qi seemed to deliberately hide from the Qi family. When she had no choice, she did not interact with them at all, not to mention the eldest lady, the Qi family, who had been married as a woman.

After a few family greetings, Concubine Qi found an excuse to retreat. After there were only a few confidants left in the side hall, Concubine Qi asked, "Mrs. Xiao came specially. I think there must be something important to say?"

The first lady pretended to be embarrassed, looked at the remaining maids around her, and then looked at the noble concubine Qi. Seeing this, Qi Guifei whispered, "These are all confidants. Mrs. Xiao has something to say, but it's okay to say."

The first lady took a breath and said, "Actually, I shouldn't have bothered the noble concubine in this matter, but this matter is not a small matter. I'm afraid that no one else can help except the noble concubine..."

When Qi Guifei heard this beginning, she couldn't help frowning.

It must be risky for her to help. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Xiao's right to speak in the Qi family and the Xiao family, she wouldn't even see her. As for help, Qi Guifei almost immediately began to think about how to refuse.

Although Qi Guifei's face did not change, the first lady looked at her words and found that she was already impatient. However, the first lady is not worried. She has already figured out how to let the noble concubine Qi do something for her.

After a slight pause, the eldest lady opened her mouth, but did not say what she asked Qi Guifei to do, but asked, "I heard that the emperor's eldest grandson has been suffering from the wind and cold recently. I don't know how the condition is?"

With one sentence, Qi Guifei's heart suddenly thumped.

She looked at the old lady coldly, frowned slightly, and said, "It's just that I feel cold, and it will heal in a few days. Children are naughty, and there are often minor diseases..." With that, she said to the old lady, "Mrs. Xiao, you are pregnant. Be careful when you go in and out."

The first lady smiled and nodded, "What the noble concubine said is that no one can say it. It's okay to have a minor illness, but if you have a serious illness, it will be troublesome. The emperor's eldest grandson is delicate, and he still needs to ask a trusted royal doctor for good treatment. In case of delaying his illness, I'm afraid the emperor will feel distressed.

After saying this, the eldest lady looked at the noble concubine Qi, which obviously showed a sense of threat in her eyes, and when the concubine Qi on the opposite side saw this look, a trace of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
