The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Bo Qingya still disapproved, "Don't be impulsive. Now the censor is impeaching the Xu family. Sooner or later, their family will be done with it. When the adoptive father comes back safely, we will stand up for you."

When the time comes, I will fight to the death to reconcile with Xu Ningyu. He must not be allowed to drag down the rest of my sister's life with such a beast.

Helplessly, Gu Deyin had made up her mind. No matter what anyone said, they could not make her change her mind.

Bo Qingya was defeated and could only tell her countless times to be careful.

Even when he mounted his horse and left, he did not forget to give this instruction.

Gu Deyin got tired of hearing this, so she snatched the riding crop from his hand and whipped the horse behind its butt. The horse was frightened and ran away.

She smiled and threw the riding crop to Bo Qingya, "Brother Ya, have a safe journey!"

Bo Qingya reached out and grabbed the riding whip in mid-air, shook his head and smiled silently, then rode his horse and disappeared into the night.

Xiao Mingzhang stayed up all night watching over his sister, seeing that she still couldn't sleep peacefully after taking medicine, so his brother could only coax her to sleep like a mother.

By the time my sister fell asleep peacefully, it was already the fourth watch.

He stretched out his hand to wipe his face, wiping away the fatigue on his face, then stood up, opened the door and went out, instructing the newly arranged maid to take care of him carefully.

His subordinates were already waiting outside. He asked with a gloomy face, "How was the investigation?"

Seeing the master asking, the subordinates did not dare to hide it.

"The servants around the princess have already been recruited, saying that someone bribed them to encourage the princess to sneak out of the house and go to the lantern festival, and then deliberately lost the princess at the lantern festival, which gave the thieves the opportunity to kidnap the princess..."

Xiao Mingzhang listened to his subordinate's report with a calm expression.

They followed the clues and found the person who used money to bribe the princess's servants, and then followed this clue to investigate again, and finally found a person who made them all uneasy.

Seeing the strong murderous intent in Xiao Mingzhang's eyes, the subordinate quickly lowered his head and revealed the mastermind behind the scenes.

"It's the Queen Mother."

Xiao Mingzhang narrowed his eyes, but he didn't expect that this old woman still wouldn't give up.

"Has the live escort been recruited yet?"

"Recruited, he is a dead soldier raised by the Liu family."

The Empress Dowager's surname is Liu. It is obvious that the Liu family was responsible for Princess Yuanjia's danger.

Xiao Mingzhang's eyes were full of murderous intent. Since there is a way to heaven and she won't take it, let's send her to hell.

When he turned around and prepared to go into the palace to deal with the vicious aunt, he suddenly asked, "What about the daughter of the Gu family?"

"Back to my lord, she just happened to pass by there tonight. It must be a coincidence that she saved the princess."

Xiao Mingzhang's sharp eyes revealed a cold light, "Are you sure?"

The subordinate hurriedly knelt down and said, "The reason why the Gu family girl brought both light and dark people to protect her is because the conflict between her and the Xu family has become intense. She is probably afraid that the Xu family will retaliate against her privately..."

Although this statement is a bit far-fetched, it is not untenable. In the final analysis, the Gu family is just an imperial businessman, while the Xu family is an established and meritorious family.

The Xu family bullied others so hard that it was normal for them to fight back.

If it were Xiao Mingzhang himself, he would not give up.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of himself in those years. If he didn't fight back constantly, someone would probably have someone on his grave.

He seemed to resonate with Gu Deyin to some extent.

Regarding Xu Xiaoli's impeachment case, Xiao Mingzhang naturally knew about it. The facts had been placed on his case, but he had not yet had time to comment on it.

It seemed that it was time to give the Xu family some color. Dramas were happening one after another. It was true that someone was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, but it also proved that the Xu family was in decline.

"Let Zhong Shiming transfer the case to Dali Temple for review tomorrow." As soon as the subordinate heard this arrangement, he knew that his master was secretly helping the Gu family girl. It seems that the Xu family will shed their skin this time even if they don't die. The daughter of the Gu family was so lucky to save Princess Yuanjia.

Seeing that his subordinates responded "yes", Xiao Mingzhang entered the palace at night.

The palace was even more exposed, and it was already midnight when Qi Meizhi fell asleep. As a widow, she always had trouble sleeping.

After finally falling asleep, he was woken up by the maid. He plucked his hair irritably and heard the maid say that the regent had entered the palace.

"What time is this?"

"Fifth watch."

Qi Meizhi no longer felt sleepy. What did Xiao Mingzhang want to do when he entered the palace at this time?

"Who is guarding Your Majesty's place?"

"If you want to reply to your Majesty, there will be two groups of guards, light and dark, guarding you..."

Qi Meizhi was still worried, so he sent his right-hand man over, and then he felt a little relieved.

At least his own people were not ones that Xiao Mingzhang could command. Then he couldn't help but think of his unsatisfactory younger brother. If he was not willful, he would be the commander of the Royal Forest Army.

With him holding the line, she doesn't have to be so afraid that Xiao Mingzhang will launch a palace coup one day to drive her son out of office.

After all, he relied on his palace to become a leader, so he was afraid that others would imitate him.

"Empress, the regent has gone to Cining Palace..."

A maid hurried in and reported with surprise.

When Qi Meizhi, who was putting on her coat, heard this, she immediately signaled the maid to stop dressing, rushed forward and asked, "You read that right?"

"No." The maid emphasized.

The Queen Mother Qi Meizhi had been living in Kunning Palace to take care of the little emperor who lived in Qianqing Palace.

The Cining Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

Only then did a smile appear on Qi Meizhi's face, and she turned around and ordered, "Hurry up and change your clothes. I'm going to Cining Palace to see that old bitch's joke."

The Empress Dowager Liu was her mother-in-law. When she entered the palace as a noble concubine, she was tortured by this old bitch to the point where she could no longer live or die.

Recalling the old accounts from the past, she wished that the old bitch could also experience her suffering back then.

It was only when he ascended the throne that his son's foundation was not yet stable, and Xiao Mingzhang wanted to consolidate his power. This gave the old bitch a chance to breathe.

Now this old thief must have touched Xiao Mingzhang's evil side. No wonder Xiao Mingzhang couldn't wait for dawn to enter the palace to deal with her.

It's so good that it can make a lot of sense.

The Cining Palace was still brightly lit at this time, and the Empress Dowager Liu was kneeling in front of the Buddha, chanting sutras, and anxiously waiting for the message from outside.

When she received the news that Xiao Mingzhang came to Cining Palace, she already knew the news of the failure of the plan, and her old face was twisted with hatred.

Xiao Mingzhang led people into the main hall of Cining Palace. Seeing that he came with bad intentions, all the palace eunuchs did not dare to block his way. They moved to both sides and knelt on the ground without raising their heads.

The scent of sandalwood was very strong in the Buddhist hall. When he stepped in with a cold face, he saw his aunt Liu kneeling on a futon with her eyes closed and chanting sutras. This artificial scene made him want to vomit.

"Without a Buddha in your heart, reciting Buddhist sutras will be in vain."

Hearing these sarcastic words, Mrs. Liu suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head and looked at Xiao Mingzhang fiercely, "What are you doing here, a lone star from the sky?"

Xiao Mingzhang was still affected by these words when he was young, but now his heart is not touched at all.

He stepped forward and looked at his mother-in-law with a dead look, "I'm here to take you to hell to meet the King of Hell."
