After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

Shuo Da Yi was charged with being unfilial, and the queen thought that Chu Zhiyi had nothing else to say.

After all, the gift of childbirth is greater than heaven.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhiyi still glanced at the queen lightly and said, "If you fight in a small battle, you will accept it, and if you fight in a big battle, you will leave. Such simple truths, the emperor's wife should not be unaware of."

People like them can at least hear about Qiao Nian's experience.

No one has the right to put a hat on her head.

The queen's face froze instantly. This Chu Zhiyi actually dared to humiliate her in public!

Qiao Nian also didn't expect that Chu Zhiyi would confront the queen in front of the emperor.

Seeing the ugly expression on the emperor's face, Qiao Nian just thought about not embarrassing Chu Zhiyi, so she bowed to the queen and said in a soft voice, "The queen didn't know something. Before her death, my grandmother specially presided over the meeting with me. During the marriage breakup ceremony of the Marquis, and when they were at the Xiao family, both Marquis Lin and Mrs. Lin personally promised not to see me again in the future. Taifu Qiu was also present and can testify. "

Therefore, it is not that she is unfilial, but that she and the Hou Mansion have long been separated.

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice from among the female relatives rang out, "I did hear my grandfather mention this matter."

Hearing this, everyone followed the sound and looked over.

Princess Shu Yuan frowned slightly, showing a hint of disgust.

The queen glanced at the woman who spoke, her eyes darkened, but the corners of her mouth curled up, "I see, I don't know much about it."

The emperor also looked at the woman who spoke, "Are you Qiu Taifu's granddaughter, Qiu Yanping?"

The woman then slowly stepped forward and saluted the emperor. Her gestures were full of elegance and nobility, "I am reporting back to the emperor that she is a daughter of the common people."

The emperor's face softened a little, and he looked at Chu Zhiyi and said, "This is the talented woman I told you about, Qiu Yanping, who is famous all over the capital."

Hearing this, Qiu Yanping was slightly startled and subconsciously looked at Chu Zhiyi.

But she saw Chu Zhiyi looking towards her, with the sharp eyes of a military general.

He nodded slightly as a greeting.

Qiu Yanping was relieved and then looked away.

Looking at this scene, Qiao Nian couldn't help but look at her. She felt that this girl Qiu was brave enough to stand up and testify for her in public. She was also very handsome, even though she was a few years older than her. , but it matches Chu Zhiyi.

The emperor specifically mentioned it to Chu Zhiyi, wasn't it because he wanted to betroth Qiu Yanping to Chu Zhiyi?

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian's eyes looked at Qiu Yanping a little softer.

The emperor, on the other hand, took in Qiao Nian's expression.

He introduced it like this in front of everyone. Actually, he wanted to tell Qiao Nian that he was going to arrange marriage for Chu Zhiyi. He originally thought that Qiao Nian would be sad because of this, but he didn't expect that she would show such an appreciative look towards Qiu Yanping. .

Could it be that, as Chu Zhiyi said, he and Qiao Nian were just sworn brothers and had no other distractions?

This is the best!

Distracted by this matter, the emperor's mood improved a lot, and he immediately said, "Okay, whether Qiao Nian's surname is Lin or Qiao, and what the relationship is with the Hou Mansion, it is all a family matter of the Hou Mansion, and others can't. Don’t worry about it so much.”

Since she is Chu Zhiyi's adopted sister, he, as the royal brother, naturally has to help.

Qiao Nian didn't expect that the emperor would stand on her side so obviously.

Although it was a family matter in the Hou family, he called her 'Qiao Nian'. In this way, even the queen could no longer call her by the surname Lin.

Qiao Nian felt grateful in her heart, and immediately bowed to the emperor, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although the Queen and Princess Shu Yuan were unhappy, they could only respond, "Yes."

On the side, Xiao Heng, who had always attracted much attention, seemed to be a transparent person at this moment.

He was still standing in a position that attracted people's attention, but right now, everyone in the room was paying attention to Qiao Nian and Chu Zhiyi.

Even he is no exception.

Vaguely, he seemed to understand where he went wrong three years ago.

Three years ago, if he could say the word "impossible" like Chu Zhiyi without any scruples, even if everyone in the Hou Mansion blamed Qiao Nian, if he could still protect her and say If he shouldered all the blame, would everything be different today?

A pair of fists were clenched tightly.

Xiao Heng tried his best to endure the tearing pain in his heart.

He didn't understand why he didn't do that three years ago?

Why could he watch her being taken away three years ago?

It's just a glass bowl. Even if the princess likes it, it's just a bowl.

The worst thing is, he just exchanged military honors for it!

But what did he change?

He waited until she had suffered so much humiliation and abuse before he asked her to come out instead.

How stupid!

Xiao Heng's heart throbbed more and more violently.

He didn't even understand why he didn't stand by her side just now.

He obviously felt that something was fishy, ​​but he couldn't speak up to protect her like Chu Zhiyi did.

It was clear that huge opportunities were placed in front of him, but he missed them again and again.

Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng, what are you thinking about?

His emotions became increasingly difficult to control, so much so that the air pressure around Xiao Heng's body became completely cold.

Xiao He stood aside and saw all this.

He was naturally very uncomfortable in his heart, but he still stretched out his hand and gently put it on Xiao Heng's shoulder.

The strength of his palm was like a magic power, suppressing the emotions that were about to burst out in Xiao Heng's heart.

Xiao Heng slowly turned his head and glanced at Xiao He, and saw that the latter was also looking at him and slowly shook his head.

Xiao Heng then lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted his emotions.

But Xiao He's eyes fell on Qiao Nian.

She stood in the center, with a pair of eyes stained with a faint smile. Even though she was targeted by the queen just now, she still looked relaxed at this moment.

This is not what he can give.

Xiao He thought secretly.

If Chu Zhiyi was not present today, he alone could not guarantee that she would not suffer any grievances.

What Chu Zhiyi could give her was not something he could do with his efforts.

Xiao He knew this truth very well.

He also thought that as long as she was happy, it would be fine.

To be honest, he was happy to have someone protecting her like this.

But... the pain in his heart that he couldn't control was still gnawing at his heart bit by bit.

But he still had to look at Xiao Heng.

Thinking of this, Xiao He's eyes slowly dropped.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was helpless and sad.
