The rebirth of the first daughter is arrogant and arrogant

Chapter 223 Rejection
Emperor Yuan Ping was overly sad because of this incident and fell ill again, so Concubine Xiao, the First Prince, and Master Xiao were all in charge of the empress dowager's funeral.

The emperor recuperated in the Qianqing Palace and was bedridden.

People who don't know the truth know that only the emperor is really filial to the queen mother, but those who know the truth know that it is one thing for the emperor to be sick, but on the other hand, it is absolutely wrong to be unwilling to kneel down to the queen mother. wronged him.

Anyway, his health is not good and he often gets sick, so no one can find fault with this excuse.

Concubine Xiao and the eldest prince wished to step on Empress Dowager Xiao, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with Emperor Yuanping's move.Master Xiao inevitably felt somewhat dissatisfied and even more worried.

The emperor really hates the empress dowager, the kind that hates to the core and never stops dying!
He didn't believe that the emperor would fall ill because of the death of the empress dowager, and he would not believe that the emperor would be "sick" to the point where he could not go to the empress dowager's spirit in person, even if he pretended to worship.

Elder Xiao is full of resentment towards the emperor. In other words, there is nowhere to vent the resentment in his heart. He can neither hate his own daughter nor the eldest prince. If he must find someone to hate and vent the emotion in his heart , Naturally went to Emperor Yuanping.

Filial piety is greater than the sky, even if the queen mother has many faults, without her, Emperor Yuanping would not be able to be emperor, right?Besides, hasn't he lived well for so many years?

In this way, how can the Queen Mother feel sorry for him?As a son of man, he still cares so much about the death of the Queen Mother. Is this what a son should do?
The more Mr. Xiao thought about it, the more aggrieved and annoyed he felt. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he simply came to Qianqing Palace with a sullen face to ask for an audience.

The maids and eunuchs of Qianqing Palace didn't dare to stop him, especially seeing his uneasy expression, they didn't even dare to ask him to wait, and let him in directly.

Emperor Yuan Ping was taking medicine under the service of the imperial physician and his confidant eunuch, lying on the couch, he couldn't help frowning when he saw Master Xiao's cold face: "Why is Master Xiao here?"

Elder Xiao bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, please also recite the kindness of the Empress Dowager's upbringing, and go to the Empress Dowager's spirit to offer three sticks of incense! The Empress Dowager has raised the Emperor for so many years, and there is hard work without credit!"

"You—presumptuous!" Emperor Yuan Ping immediately understood what Master Xiao meant, his face changed drastically, he coughed violently, blushed and panted, pointed at him and said tremblingly: "How dare you accuse me? Get out! Get out!" The two imperial physicians were stupefied with pale faces, a layer of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, they stood there and did not dare to move, wishing to cover their ears and eyes so that they could not hear or see anything.

Elder Xiao raised his robe and knelt down towards Emperor Yuanping: "Your Majesty, please go to the Empress Dowager to offer incense before the spirit of the Empress Dowager! All goodness and filial piety come first—"

"Shut up!" Emperor Yuan Ping coughed violently, pointed at Mr. Xiao's fingers trembling like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and tremblingly said: "You, you are so brave! What do you mean? How dare you accuse me? Isn’t it? See, for the sake of the Queen Mother, I, I won’t argue with you this time, and if there is another time, I, I will never let you go! Back off! Back off!”

Master Xiao remained motionless, slowly raised his head, and looked at Emperor Yuanping with a faint gaze.

Emperor Yuanping was so angry that he shook his hands and pushed the medicine bowl to the ground, "Are you all dead? Why don't you call someone? Call someone, drive him out, drive him out!"

The two eunuchs ran out shaking and scrambling to call for someone.

In the past three days, Emperor Yuan Ping took advantage of the Empress Dowager's death, and the palace was full of panic and calm, and changed the defense of the palace. Many people who were close to the Empress Dowager were silently killed. Deng Zhao was appointed by him as the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army , All inside and outside the Qianqing palace were replaced by his own people.

When Deng Zhao happened to be inspecting this area today, he learned of this accident, and hurriedly rushed in with someone, with a smile on his face, and at least invited Mr. Xiao out.

Elder Xiao didn't struggle anymore, and let Deng Zhao "invite" him out, staring at Deng Zhao unblinkingly, the depth was a little frightening.

Even though Deng Zhao was thick-skinned and psychologically strong enough, he still felt his scalp tingle when he was stared at by Mr. Xiao.

He made a haha ​​on purpose, and smiled innocently at Mr. Xiao, "Master Xiao, why do you look at me like this? Did I do something wrong? Oh, the emperor's fate is hard to break, and the duty is here. It's no wonder that this son, please invite Lord Xiao Haihan to do it!"

"Hehe!" Grandpa Xiao pulled his face and sneered. He stared at Deng Zhaoyi without blinking his eyes, "I never thought that Prince Deng would be so favored by the emperor! The future is fearsome and the future is boundless!"

After finishing speaking, he put his hand on his shoulder and patted him hard.

Deng Zhao's heart trembled, and he secretly thought something was wrong, the old fox must have smelled something strange.

But his face remained calm, and he said with a smile: "By virtue of Mr. Xiao's auspicious words, the emperor's grace is mighty, this is also the emperor's grace, ha ha!"

"Yes, the emperor's grace is mighty!" Master Xiao smiled sarcastically: "Deng Shizi enjoy it, don't let it down!"

After finishing speaking, he withdrew his hand and strode away.

Deng Zhao's eyes narrowed, and he squinted slightly to stare at his back. This old fox is much sharper than he thought.

However, I'm afraid he would never dream of the real relationship between himself and his father, no matter how much he guessed, he would be wrong.

Thinking of this, Deng Zhao gradually relaxed, and hurriedly turned back to Qianqing Palace.

Now that Empress Dowager Xiao is dead, the sharp sword hanging over Emperor Yuanping's head is gone.As the core figures of Empress Dowager Xiao's power were eradicated or controlled by Emperor Yuanping and him one by one, this threat was even more insignificant.

Now that he is the deputy commander of the guards of the Imperial Forest Army, it is normal for him to go in and out of the Qianqing Palace, and he no longer has to cover up and avoid people's eyes and ears like before.

As Mr. Xiao walked, his steps became heavier and heavier, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

When he reached this point, the emperor refused to back down, which shows how deep the bond between mother and child is!
No matter how big the enmity is, it is nothing more than "I will never die" and "Everything will be settled after death", but the emperor refuses to let the queen mother die even if she is dead!This is something he never expected.

The queen mother is dead, but what about the imperial concubine?What about the Xiao family?Can the emperor let it go easily?
Master Xiao is not optimistic at all.

Even the eldest prince, I'm afraid he should never dream of being the prince of the Eastern Palace. The emperor will never let someone with the blood of the Xiao family inherit the country.

Master Xiao couldn't help but hated Concubine Xiao and the eldest prince again. He really regretted that he shouldn't have told them that shocking secret!

If he hadn't said it, they wouldn't have done such a stupid thing!
