famous eldest daughter

Chapter 661 The reason
The emperor listened to Xiao Yu's superficial remarks and saw that he was so righteous and self-righteous, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

If Miao Er is to be executed at this time, the decision can only be made secretly in order not to alert the enemy.

But how can a secret ruling have the effect of shocking people?

In order to kill these Miao gangsters to scare the monkeys, he must let their blood flow into rivers.

As a key member, Miao Er naturally cannot be executed at will.

By secretly detaining Miao Da Miao Er and Bai Wei, he wanted not only the remnants of the Miao border lurking in Kyoto to expose themselves, but more importantly, he wanted to see the reaction of Xiao Yi and the British government.

If once it was discovered that they and the Queen were the same, then even if they were father, son and father-in-law, he would not be lenient.

This world is his world.

You can have covetous intentions, but you can't do things that cause chaos.

Anyone who touches his throne is his mortal enemy.

Even the Queen, the reason why he dealt with it in this way was, firstly, not to lose face in front of the world, secondly, to make up for the guilt he felt at the time, and thirdly, and most importantly, to relax the British Duke and Xiao Yi. alert.

Only when your vigilance is lowered can you take rash actions and reveal your flaws.

Xiao Yu did not expect that the emperor would not say these words in front of everyone. He just sighed quietly, rolled his eyes, and said to the commander of the imperial army: "Take him down, and watch him alive, just don't die." , when did Miao Da become able to speak, please give it a good trial."

The commander of the imperial army received the order and immediately agreed.

Xiao Yu then said: "Father wants to interrogate Miao Da, why not interrogate Bai Wei directly? In these years, Bai Wei has acted as the liaison hub between these Miao rebels and the Queen. She must know where those remnants are located. !”

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Bai Wei's breath suddenly froze.

She was willing to help Gu Yuqing do these unintentional things just to save the lives of those who were lurking. However, if the emperor used torture to extract a confession from her, she was not sure whether she could withstand the torture. If she couldn't, then What is the meaning of what she did today!
Xiao Yu trailed off, but before the emperor could reply, Bai Wei said with a trembling voice: "I have just said that, as long as I know what I know, your Highness and Your Majesty will ask, I know everything. If the matter is exposed, I know what outcome is waiting for you. , I don’t want to suffer in vain before I die!”

"You are quite transparent!" Xiao Yu snorted.

Bai Wei said: "His Royal Highness just said that the people lurking in the Miao territory of this dynasty, slaves and maids are always ordered by the empress. However, the people under the empress' command are not just slaves. As for getting rid of slaves, Who is the outsider? That is the Queen’s secret, and I don’t know. Through your hands, the people I have contacted, except Miao Da Miao Er, there are only about ten people. If Your Majesty wants a list at this moment, I will give it to you. I beg your Majesty to spare the pain of my slave's skin and flesh."

Bai Wei said it sincerely.

Whether Gu Yuqing can do it is one thing, but if she exposes herself without waiting for Gu Yuqing's promise to be implemented, that is another matter.

Miao Jiang carefully thought that there were so many people lurking in Kyoto, so he used about ten people as cannon fodder to protect the rest, so the death of these ten people was considered worthwhile.

With her mind spinning over and over again, Bai Wei quickly recalled the names of a few irrelevant people in her mind.

The emperor raised his hand and said, "No need at this moment!"

Having said that, Bai Wei didn't pay much attention to Bai Wei, but said to the commander of the imperial army: "Take them down! Arrange them and come back. I have other instructions."

The Commander of the Forbidden Army immediately executed it.

She was thinking about the confession list when she was let go by the emperor so unexpectedly. Bai Wei was stunned... She had been thinking about this emperor for several years and knew very well how suspicious he was. She couldn't help but wonder why he didn't want the list. What on earth is he waiting for?
However, how could she spy into the emperor's heart?

When the commander of the imperial army left with Bai Wei and Miao Er, Xiao Yu and Concubine Hui left together after chatting over a few cups of tea.

Letting Xiao Yu support her while walking on the bluestone of the dark corridor, Concubine Hui whispered: "Do you feel that the Queen's behavior today is really strange."

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking, and said after a while: "Do you mean she doesn't explain?"

Concubine Hui nodded, "Yes, such a charge of liaison with the enemy country is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans. The Queen did not even defend herself. It seemed that she was making a fuss in a menacing way, but in fact it had no real effect. Her words All the aggressive sophistry and rants, and even the crazy fight with Bai Wei later on, none of them were as good as her actual explanation in a few sentences as to why she secretly switched to a dairy company.",

"Actually, as long as the Queen explains clearly the real reason why she secretly switched to the dairy business, His Majesty will not be so ruthless towards her. The dairy business matter is the most critical issue among all things."

Listening to Concubine Hui's doubts, Xiao Yu sneered and said, "Bai Wei is originally from Miao territory. It must be her who instigated the Queen to secretly change the dairy business. But in front of the father, Bai Wei and the Queen are one and the same. How does she explain it?"

Hearing this, Concubine Hui frowned and shook her head, saying, "Well, why did the Queen want to secretly change the dairy dealer again? This matter is quite risky."

Xiao Yu sneered: "Then you have to ask her father what the British father has done and is in urgent need of a large amount of money."

Listening to Xiao Yu's words, it was clear that he knew the inside story, so Concubine Hui listened intently.

"This incident is also a coincidence. My son was ordered by his father to go to Xishan to repair the hot spring pool. He accidentally discovered that the British Duke raised an outer room in the Xishan courtyard, and the Duke raised an outer room. If this is caused, But he will lose his official position. In order to hide the matter, he hid him in Xishan, but it was still known. Some people took this matter as a threat, saying that if he didn't take out 3 taels of silver to seal it up, he would kill him. This matter has become known to everyone.”

Concubine Hui immediately sighed, "3 taels!"

Xiao Yu nodded, "Speak loudly, lion! When I first heard about this, I didn't take it seriously at that time. The officials in the court and the people who secretly raised the foreign wives were not from his family. It was just that the people did not sue the officials and did not investigate. They had nothing to do. It's nothing more. Who would have thought that he was so unlucky that even his status as the father-in-law of the country could not suppress the person who threatened him, so he would be targeted."

"However, now that I think about it, although there is no solid evidence, I am afraid that the people who threatened the Duke of England should be Miao Da and Miao Er."

"Outside the palace, they forced the British prince to ask for money. Inside the palace, Bai Wei put eye drops in front of the queen. How Bai Wei persuaded the queen to secretly exchange milk for the milk merchant behind her father's back is unknown, but this Bai Wei, indeed It’s not simple.”
