Chapter 667
After the morning court on the second day, Prime Minister Xiao went to Shoukang Palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao shunned the palace people: "Go down, no one is allowed to come in without Aijia's order."

"Yes."

King Ning happened to enter the palace to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Xiao. After the palace guards came out of the bedroom and closed the palace door, they retreated one after another, not even a gatekeeper.

So unusual, there must be something odd.

The prince quietly walked over and stuck to the door to eavesdrop.

In the bedroom, Empress Dowager Xiao and Prime Minister Xiao were talking about the Xianyun Palace case.

Prime Minister Xiao's eyes were heavy, and he said slowly: "Chen Mu had an affair with the palace maid, which caused the palace maid to have a secret relationship. Afraid of being exposed for adultery, she murdered her to silence her, but was bumped into by Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian panicked and did not choose her way Hiding in the cold palace, but finally slipped and fell into the dry well, Chen Mu thought she was dead, so he cut off the maid's head, Li Daitao froze, such a flawed story, would the Empress Dowager believe it?"

Empress Dowager Xiao's gaze sank, slightly fluctuating: "You mean, the person who has an affair with Chen Mu is Concubine Xian?"

Prime Minister Xiao nodded: "Since Chen Mu was able to crush the maid's neck, why did she let Concubine Xian, who has no power to restrain her, escape to the cold palace? This is nothing more than His Majesty's rhetoric to fool the world for the sake of the royal family's face."

Empress Dowager Xiao gritted her teeth angrily: "What a Chen Mu, he dared to obey and disobey, and ruined the good deeds of the Ai family. If he loses this time, it will be difficult to get rid of Shen Cheng next time."

"The Xiao family's invincible position in the imperial court is all due to our step-by-step efforts in the past to gather forces from all sides. Now these forces have been damaged one after another. Auntie, it's time for us to win over new forces."

"Which of these aristocratic families can be used by my Xiao family?"

"Prince Yun's mansion has a lot of troops, and its power should not be underestimated. If it can be used by us, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings."

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned: "Rong Jiu has kindness to Prince Yun's Mansion, and the two families have a very close friendship. It may not be so easy to win over Prince Yun's Mansion."

Prime Minister Xiao raised his deep eyes, full of deep meaning: "No matter how deep the friendship is, you are still an outsider after all, and it is nothing compared to close relatives of flesh and blood. If the Empress Dowager bestows a marriage on Prince Yun's Mansion and Xiao's family, and points Princess Yun to Yun'er, the two families will marry each other once and for all. How can Prince Yun's Palace help Rong Jiu again after they are married?"

A gleam flashed in Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes, she suddenly smiled and said: "Winning Prince Yun's mansion together is tantamount to breaking Rong Jiu's arm, so the Ai family will issue a decree to marry her."

King Ning heard it clearly outside the palace, his eyes sank coldly, he didn't expect the Xiao family to turn their minds on Prince Yun's mansion, and hurried out of the palace to return to the mansion.

Xiao Ruo suddenly saw him coming back, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't you go to the palace to greet the Queen Mother? Why did you come back so soon?"

King Ning said with a gloomy face, "Mother, the case of the Xianyun Palace was originally set up by the Xiao family to deal with Shen Cheng, but there was a mistake, and the move was wrong. In order to win over Prince Yun's mansion, the Xiao family wanted to do it for Princess Yun." Marry Xiao Yun."

Xiao Ruo was stunned for a moment, and soon, with the same expression as usual, he said deeply: "If the Xiao family and Yun Wangfu marry, it will be even more difficult for you to deal with the Xiao family in the future."

"The emperor's grandmother has already drawn up a decree, and I'm afraid that she will go to Prince Yun's mansion to announce the decree soon. What else can I do?"

"Go to Prince Yun's Mansion as soon as possible. Prince Yun's Mansion doesn't want to be with the Xiao family, so it will naturally find a way." Xiao Ruo reminded, "When you go to Prince Yun's Mansion, you must not be seen by others, otherwise, you will want to win trust in the future. It will be difficult for the Xiao family."
