The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 573

Long grabbed the prince and took him to a place where no one was around and had his butt pumped. It wasn't considered a heavy hand, but it was enough for the prince to drink a pot.

After Empress Xiao returned to Kunning Palace, she sent someone to announce Xiao Heng into the palace.

It is inconvenient for Xiao Heng to enter Kunning Palace as a male other than Xiao Heng. Empress Xiao met him in the side hall of Huaqing Palace.

Ever since she came from the Golden Luan Palace, Empress Xiao has never stopped wondering in her mind.

From the moment Xiao Heng received the summons, he knew that paper could not contain fire, some things would come sooner or later, not to mention that at this point, there was nothing to hide from Empress Xiao.

Xiao Heng first told all of Concubine Jing's actions, and Princess Xinyang did not mention, for example, she was bestowed to death by the emperor.

Empress Xiao had already slowed herself down for a while while she was waiting for Xiao Heng, and now she heard that the emperor had given death to her once most respected and beloved Concubine Jing, and there were not many disturbances in her heart.

Just a little sad.

It is said that the emperor's family is ruthless, but Empress Xiao understands that the emperor is a very affectionate person, and the prince has perfectly inherited his affection, so she fell deeply in love with Wen Linlang.

"Then, what about Princess Ning An? What's going on with her?"

Compared with Concubine Jing who had already been dealt with, Empress Xiao cared more about the living royal princess in front of her, "Ning An...does she really want to harm Xinyang?"

Xiao Heng shook his head: "That's not true."

Princess Ning'an came back for revenge, but the target of revenge was not Princess Xinyang.

Your Majesty, aunt, Gu Jiao, Gu's family... are the targets of her ultimate revenge. In Ning An's view, His Majesty and the Queen Mother killed Concubine Jing, while Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing killed the son-in-law.

Empress Xiao frowned: "What are you doing to the girl of the Gu family?" She could understand the other three, but wasn't the son-in-law killed by Gu Changqing?

Xiao Heng said: "When I was at the frontier, I found plague patients from the remnants of the court and tried to use them to poison the Gu family army. Jiaojiao was treating a patient who was unfortunately infected. Jiaojiao didn't know it. She fell into a coma during an operation and was later arrested by her son-in-law. The son-in-law is also infected, Jiaojiao didn't give him medicine."

Empress Xiao said indignantly: "Of course this kind of bastard can't be given medicine! So what? She put the blame on the girl of the Gu family? But didn't they bring the plague themselves? If they were infected, they could only Saying that you are reaping the consequences! What are you doing with the girl of the Gu family!"

Xiao Heng said calmly: "Some people are unreasonable, and if you are reasonable, you won't become that kind of person."

Empress Xiao sighed: "That's true. From this point of view, she didn't really kill her relatives when she gave up her son-in-law, but she had no choice."

Xiao Heng continued: "I heard from Jiaojiao that the relationship between her and the son-in-law has been tense since before the son-in-law was diagnosed with the plague.

Thinking about it now, maybe she had planned every step of retreat very early on. "

Even the son-in-law couldn't understand her thoughts, only thought that she was really alienated from him.

"This person's thoughts are too deep... How come I didn't find her so scheming before?" Empress Xiao frowned, and the bright smile of the young girl Ning An flashed in her mind, and she couldn't believe it for a while.

Next, Xiao Heng also told Queen Xiao about the case of Xianleju, Princess Ning'an's murder of Sun Ping, persecution of His Majesty, and bribe of Li Shilang to slander Shangshu Xing and Queen Mother Zhuang.

Of course, there is also the fact that Princess Ning An forged two imperial edicts.

Empress Xiao was so angry that her face turned blue: "How unreasonable! How unreasonable!"

She itched her teeth angrily, and it took a while to suppress her anger, and asked Xiao Heng: "Is the Queen Mother okay?"

Xiao Heng said: "It's okay, the Queen Mother lives in Bishui Hutong, it's very safe."

"That's good." Empress Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "You also have to be careful."

Xiao Heng nodded: "We will."

Empress Xiao looked at him again, with complicated eyes: "Speaking of which, you are too courageous. Not to mention forging imperial edicts like Ning'an, you actually found someone to pretend to be Princess Xinyang!"

She just said how weird that Princess Xinyang from yesterday was, she spoke in a strange way, and even fell down in front of her! Everyone in the harem saw it!

Let Xinyang know about this, and don't take their skins off!

Empress Xiao felt miserable for them even thinking about it.

Empress Xiao said again: "Also, if your mother didn't come back in time, how would you deal with the situation in the Jinluan Palace this morning?"

This Xiao Heng really thought about it.

Yesterday, after Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng came back from following Princess Ning'an, they found that Gu Chengfeng's skirt had been scraped off with a little gold yarn. At that time, they guessed that their identities might have been exposed.

Princess Ning An will definitely expose them, the sooner the better.

And the most powerful opportunity is the first court visit of "Princess Xinyang".

Just as they were meditating on countermeasures, Princess Xinyang came back.

He came back quietly without disturbing anyone.

It is worth mentioning that Gu Jiao's assumed identity was not fabricated out of thin air, there was indeed a maid named Yu'er in the house on Zhuque Avenue, and the human skin mask Gu Jiao wore was made according to her face.

There is still some degree of rigor for being a Jinshi Hanlin official on the two lists.

Princess Ning An's disturbance in front of the courtiers today turned the boat completely overboard. Princess Xinyang is not easy to mess with. Just because she doesn't play tricks doesn't mean she won't, it's just that she doesn't care.

Empress Xiao lamented that these guys are really newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and they beat the old master to death regardless of the death penalty.

I don't know whether to say they were lucky or Ning An was unlucky.

Empress Xiao couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you going to do next?"

Xiao Heng said: "There is still a force in the dark, and the next step is to wipe out that force."

Empress Xiao pondered for a moment, and asked, "Where did that force come from?"

Xiao Heng paused: "Yan Guo."

Empress Xiao gasped!

...

Xiao Heng confessed everything that should be confessed, the only thing he didn't mention was that the power of Yan Kingdom was directed at him.

It's not that he didn't dare to tell Queen Xiao, it's just that he didn't know how to speak.

He was afraid that if he mentioned it again and again, he would get closer to something.

I was also afraid that one day he would leave Princess Xinyang's side to find the truth that he shouldn't be looking for at all.

He has only one mother, Princess Xinyang.

...

Bishui Hutong.

Gu Jiao was listlessly sitting in the main room peeling the corn. Last night, Long Yi dragged her to pick up the charcoal pencils all night. Now she was sleepy and tired, and her little head kept pecking at the rice.

Gu Chengfeng came over, sat down in front of her, and shook his hand: "Hey, girl!"

Gu Jiao ignored him and continued to peck at the rice.

Almost pecking at the table, Gu Chengfeng hastily stretched out the back of his hand to cushion her forehead.

Gu Jiao closed her eyes in disgust: "Your hands are so hard."

Gu Chengfeng: You still despise me as a cushion for you! Is it the back of my hand or the desk?

Gu Jiao sat up straight.

Gu Chengfeng looked at her strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

"Didn't sleep well." Gu Jiao yawned, "Woke up sore in the morning."

Gu Chengfeng cut it, took Gu Jiao's half-peeled corn cob, and said, "Why are you women so sour? You're not men!"

Gu Jiao asked: "Why can't women have sore hands?"

"Female..." Gu Chengfeng realized what he had just said in the middle of speaking, choked suddenly, cleared his throat, "I'm so hungry, go see if there is anything to eat later!"

After all, he left in a hurry, forgetting to put back the corn cobs.

When Xiao Heng came back from the palace, Gu Jiao had already fallen asleep lying on the table, drooling a little.

The family members went out, even Gu Xiaobao and Yao shi were not there, so it was no surprise that they went to see my aunt playing cards again.

Xiao Heng came behind Gu Jiao, gently carried Gu Jiao back to the east room, took off her outer clothes and shoes, and pulled the quilt to cover her.

Gu Jiao turned towards him. He was arranging Gu Jiao's hair when he was caught off guard by Gu Jiao pressing his hand under his cheek.

There is a soft and delicate touch in the palm.

The tip of his heart seemed to be rubbed by something.

He sat down on the edge of the bed without taking his hands out.

He looked at her, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly unconsciously.

Gu Jiao slept soundly and deeply.

The charcoal basin was already lit in the room, and it was very warm. After a while, she became hot all over, and her cheeks became flushed.

Xiao Heng felt the heat from his palm, he looked at her face, stretched out his other hand unconsciously, and brushed off the blue hair on her face.

Then he slowly lowered his head.

But just as he was about to kiss him, he suddenly felt something. He turned his head, and saw a masked face approaching him at some point, with wide innocent and stern eyes, looking at him suspiciously.

Xiao Heng sat up straight!

Long Yi also sat up straight.

Xiao Heng was sitting on the bed, Long Yi was sitting on a small bench in the small clear space.

Xiao Heng's eyelashes trembled, thinking of what Long Yi just saw, his ears turned slightly red, and he said seriously: "You can't do this."

Long Yi understood.

Xiao Heng said again: "No one else can do this to her."

Long Yi looked at the sky, thought for a while, and probably understood.

Xiao Meiren: In the future, I can't ask Jiaojiao to stick pens.

What Long Yi heard was: slightly slightly slightly, find Jiaojiao to pout~
