Thinking like this, Leng Moran's eyes quickly scanned the palace, and finally landed on a frightened palace maid in the corner.
Leng Moran ordered Feng Yan to interrogate the palace maid.
Before the banquet ended, Feng Yan brought back news. The palace maid said that someone gave her a hundred taels of silver and asked her to add something to the wine glass. She didn't know what it was or who the person was.
The palace maid's mother was sick. The man seemed to have expected this when he found her. The palace lady didn't want to harm anyone. She confirmed with the man that this thing would only make Princess Yan disgraceful in front of the palace, and promised not to find out about her afterwards.
Only then did she agree to do the work.
But the palace maid still remembered the man's appearance.
Through the palace maid's description, Leng Moran quickly guessed who was instigating this.
Xiao Xixi also had the answer in her heart, but she didn't expect that Fu Qingjiao was so skillful in the palace now, and could even poison Yuci's wine.
Leng Moran was going to report the matter to Emperor Honghui, but he saw a chamberlain coming to ask for instructions, saying that Fu Cairen was about to give birth.
When Emperor Honghui heard this, he didn't care about the other people at the banquet, and immediately sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to ask for a verdict, while he went to Fu Qingjiao's palace in person.
Queen Murong also followed and asked Princess Yongzhao to take charge of the overall situation before leaving.
In this way, everyone can see Fu Qingjiao's position in Emperor Honghui's heart.
Although Leng Moran had speculations, he did not intend to report the matter to Emperor Honghui. Emperor Honghui might not believe it, and might even cause their uncle and nephew to divorce.
When leaving the palace, I heard that Fu Qingjiao gave birth to the prince successfully, and Emperor Honghui personally named the sixth prince, saying that he would hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate in a hundred days.
…
On the carriage back home, Xiao Xixi was always uneasy.
Leng Moran held her hand and comforted her with a gentle voice: "It's okay. You don't need to drink that glass of wine. She doesn't have the energy to cause trouble for the time being. I will send someone to protect you."
Xiao Xixi was thinking about another thing. She raised her head, looked at Leng Moran seriously, and asked: "If I said that I have the ability to predict the future, would you believe it?"
"I believe it." Leng Moran said without hesitation.
Xiao Xixi breathed out and asked again: "I want to ask you, if Xiao Xiaoyu tied you to another courtyard that day instead of simply sleeping, but forced you to destroy your innocence, would you have wiped out the entire Xiao family? Even if it was
Even if Xiao Xiaoyu dies, will she be dug out and whipped?"
Leng Moran frowned, "You mean, in the future you saw, I did these things?"
Xiao Xixi nodded lightly.
Leng Moran shook his head and said: "I don't think I would do this. Even if Xiao Xiaoyu really forced me, it is only her fault. What does it have to do with the rest of the Xiao family?"
Xiao Xixi continued to ask: "What if your eyes were still blind? How much would you hate her if you were drugged by her and forced to cook with her?"
Leng Moran said without any concealment: "I wish I could have her skin and muscles peeled off."
"So it's just related to Xiao Xiaoyu, right?"
"No matter how much I hate her, I shouldn't attack other people in the Xiao family, unless there are other reasons."
Xiao Xixi also realized this, and she asked: "So is there anything that can make the prince hate him enough to destroy the entire Xiao family?"
Leng Moran thought for a long time and then said: "Unless the Xiao family is related to the death of my father, queen, mother and concubine, I may be desperate...to kill."
If he hadn't met Xiao Xixi, given his past coldness, he might really have done something like this.
After Leng Moran finished speaking, he was afraid that Xiao Xixi would break up with him, and his eyes were full of worry.
Xiao Xixi said: "So, in the future I see, it is very likely that someone will blame the death of the former King Yan and the princess on the Xiao family. That's why you destroyed the entire Xiao family when you became the regent queen.
Dig out Xiao Xiaoyu, who is no longer alive, and whip her corpse."
"Regent?"
Xiao Xixi realized that she had made a mistake, coughed slightly, pretended that she had not said these three words, and asked: "Do you think what I said is right?"
"It's quite reasonable."
"So this time, although Xiao Xiaoyu is gone early, the people behind the scenes may still blame the Xiao family. The Xiao family is a family of military generals, and my father has military power. Once something happens to the Xiao family, it will chill the hearts of other military generals.
, it is definitely a big blow to Da Chu.”
The book does not describe much about the affairs of the court, only that Leng Moran becomes the regent to assist the new emperor, and the book ends when the heroine Fu Qingjiao becomes the queen mother, so it is not known whether the sixth prince can secure his position.
What Xiao Xixi is most worried about now is the Xiao family.
She said: "Can you please, Your Majesty, please don't fall into the trap this time. My Xiao family are all good ministers and will not do anything detrimental to Da Chu."
Leng Moran nodded seriously and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I believe in you and I will never let anything happen to the Xiao family."
Xiao Xixi was very scared. She didn't want anything to happen to her hard-earned family. Fear spread in her heart. She wrapped her arms around Leng Moran's waist and nestled in his arms. She said in a delicate and soft voice: "The Xiao family can do without military power.
Even if they don't have their current status, I want them to live well."
As long as you are alive, there is nothing else.
"Okay." Leng Moran stroked her hair and responded gently.
…
After that, so-called evidence was quickly placed in front of Leng Moran.
It is said that Xiao Chongye planned the fire in Prince Yan's Mansion in the North because he sided with Emperor Honghui and wanted to please Emperor Honghui.
The rest of the Xiao family were more or less involved.
The evidence is extremely clear. If he hadn't been mentally prepared and Leng Moran had sent people to find out Xiao Chongye's movements back then, he might have believed it.
However, Leng Moran was worried that the people behind it would use other methods to attack the Xiao family again, so he deliberately found a mistake to have Xiao Chongye take back his military power and the male members of the Xiao family be demoted.
Now this can temporarily protect the Xiao family from being targeted, but Leng Moran blames himself because he can only use this method to protect his wife's mother's family.
But Xiao Xixi felt that it was better to do this. After all, they still didn't know who was behind the scenes. Instead of having a head-on conflict, it was better to recharge their batteries.
Xiao Xixi returned to the Xiao family, and her father and brother were not sad about it. Instead, they smiled and comforted her not to care. Xiao Xixi was warmed by her family.
However, this matter soon involved Xiao Xixi.
Emperor Honghui suddenly issued an order, saying that Xiao Xixi had been in the palace for more than a year and had no children, so she was not worthy of the position of concubine. He demoted her to a concubine. At the same time, he also granted a marriage to Leng Moran and asked Leng Moran to marry Pei's daughter as the princess.
After receiving the order, Leng Moran went into the palace to meet the emperor, but Emperor Honghui did not see him.
Xiao Xixi never thought that Leng Moran would betray her. Even if the emperor granted her a marriage, she was not worried at all.
Even if Pei's daughter enters the door, she will be the same as the previous women and will not pose any threat to her.
On the day Pei Yuhan came in, Leng Moran didn't welcome her, didn't pay her a visit, and he didn't plan to drink wine with her.
The emperor granted her a marriage, so he couldn't throw her out, but he could still give her a yard to live in and take care of her food and drink.
Pei Yuhan couldn't sit still. She was wearing a complicated wedding dress, raised her skirt and rushed to the main courtyard.
In the study, Xiao Xixi was sitting on the beauty's couch, with one hand supporting her chin and the other hand casually resting on the desk.
Leng Moran stood in front of the desk and drew her appearance one stroke at a time with a brush.
Hearing the noise outside, Leng Moran put down his brush and took the sleepy Xiao Xixi out of the study.
