Chapter 425 Queen Ma

Xie Yuan looked stern, and walked a few steps forward in the silence. Standing tall on the steps, he stretched out his hand and pulled the purse from his waist, and threw it on the ground in front of the Ma family servants.

The purse fell to the ground, and a lot of copper coins inside rolled out, smashing to the ground with a "crash".

Her red phoenix eyes were originally full of natural power, but at this moment the cold light swept over her, making those people's hearts tremble, and they looked at her in horror, so frightened that they couldn't move.

But she just glanced at it, with contempt and disdain in her eyes, and then she pressed the sword on her waist and walked away without looking sideways.

Sun Tian and Xiao Erdan lined up to follow. They seemed to be walking with pride, and the group left so neatly.

Zhang Qing looked at the back of Xie Yuan leaving, with admiration in his eyes, and sighed:
"As expected of the young general in the legend, he is as windy as the wind, and as bright as the moonlight. It's so rare... that he is so handsome even when he hits people, it's so inspiring..."

The colleague next to him watched Xie Yuan leave just like him, with the same expression, but he still had some reason, and then poked him with his elbow, kept his mouth still, and reminded him with a throaty voice:

"Master Zhang, you are not afraid of offending the Ma family."

Only then did Zhang Qing come to his senses, looking at the servants of the Ma family who were still rolling on the ground in embarrassment outside... The perverted servant could not stand up with his hands on his chest, and the others were trying to find a way to carry him away .

Zhang Qing looked forgetful, looked at his colleague in surprise and said:
"Huh? Did I just say something? I didn't say anything..."

After that, he directed the people to clean up the mess.

And before all this happened here, the palace also experienced some twists and turns.

……

Empress Ma, the young emperor of the Song Dynasty, is a girl who has just turned 14 years old.The face is still obviously green and immature, and the solemn queen's costume and crown on her body, matched with her round face, always has a sense of incongruity as a child wearing an adult's clothes.

At this time, she was leaning on the bed in a daze, when a maid came outside and silently handed out a note.

Empress Ma glanced at the court lady with a look of panic in her eyes, sat up quickly, and took the note.

After watching, she pouted and frowned and got off the bed, walked back and forth in the room twice, then stood still, and said resentfully to the maid who lowered her head:

"Dad, is this going to kill me?"

The maid looked up at Empress Ma and said calmly:
"Empress, the Duke and you are a family, one is prosperous and the other is damaged, how can it harm you?"

"But, this..." Empress Ma stretched out the note in her hand, with a look of embarrassment and fear on her face, "I dare not..."

"Your Majesty, just follow what the Duke taught, there is absolutely no problem." The maid persuaded her with a steady and peaceful tone.

The 14 years old Empress Ma heard it, and seemed to gain some confidence, so she opened the note again and memorized it silently.Gritting his teeth, he handed it to the maid, lifted the hem of his skirt and left the palace gate, looking for the little emperor.

Although the little emperor of the Song Dynasty was stupid and often had no opinions, he was very serious, and he read the memorials very carefully.

But because I'm stupid, it takes a long time to read a book, and I still can't see why.This in itself was a torment for him.

So when Empress Ma came, he finally had a justifiable excuse to escape from this torment, and he was very excited.

"What's the matter? Did you miss me?" The little emperor greeted him and asked happily.

Empress Ma blushed, saluted with a smile, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "No..."

The little emperor was very happy to see her like this, and the two sat down together holding hands.

Empress Ma is not a person with much wealth, besides, she is only 14 years old, easily panicked and impatient.So as soon as they sat down, Empress Ma glanced at the little emperor and said directly:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Princess Huaizhen's case was handled by Xie Consort."

The little emperor said "huh?" in surprise, and asked:

"...Why? Is there any proof?"

"Everyone knows that Xie Consort and the Princess have always been at odds. Your Majesty, you know the ins and outs of their marriage. It was originally a twisted melon. As a result, Xie Concubine took a fancy to a soup kitchen in the Princess's Mansion to serve her. Her servant, who was discovered by her, was sold directly to the brothel."

Empress Ma paused, recalled the words on the note, and continued:

"The Princess is too ruthless in doing this. Xie Consort is a young man with a high position and real power. It would have been fine if the Princess had given that servant to Xie Concubine as a roommate. In the end...she Selling people, they have a bad relationship, think about it, what will Xie Consort think?"

The little emperor listened carefully at first, but then his face gradually turned weird, and his thoughts drifted away.

As Empress Ma was talking, seeing the little emperor lost his mind, she panicked and asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty... what are you thinking?"

The little emperor came to his senses and persuaded:
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense, it is impossible for Xie Ma to do this. She..."

The little emperor stopped suddenly, and the face of the old emperor Yin Yin who instructed him appeared in his mind.

At that time, the father's face was flushed abnormally, his forehead was sweating, his eyes were staring fiercely, and his hands hurt from scratching, and he roared in a low voice:
"Remember it! At any time, don't tell anyone that you know she is a girl, and don't mention it to anyone! You have to pretend that you don't know, then reuse her, promote her, and treat her as your confidant!"

"Why, Father?" He asked crying, startled and frightened.

"Because this secret is her weakness, no matter how high she climbs, as long as this secret is exposed, no one will tolerate her as a woman leading the army. At that time, you will kill her for the crime of deceiving the emperor, it will be justified and easy!
But if you know it, admit it to everyone, and let everyone admit it, it will be difficult for you to kill her again! "

There was an astonishing light in the father's eyes, fierce like a man-eating hungry wolf, if he was disobedient, he would bite him to death immediately, and said:

"Did you hear that!! You must remember! This secret is the chain on which she is tied. As long as you can keep it, she will be the most loyal dog by your side!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!... What's wrong with him?" The queen's questioning voice brought the little emperor back from his memories.

"Oh, it's nothing... how could he fall in love with a little maid? No, it must have been rumored outside." The little emperor said.

"How is it impossible? Many people know about Princess Huaizhen selling that maidservant. Your Majesty... If you feel sorry for my sister, you should speak out on her behalf. Although my sister may not be willing to punish her son-in-law, but... ...she is His Majesty's older sister, how could she be bullied like this by others?"

"You Ma family are the ones who bullied me!!" Princess Huaizhen's angry voice suddenly came over.
