Chapter 542: A Mocking Smile

Chapter 542 mocking smile

Xiaoman heard the words of the two people, and thought about it. At this time, he went down to the tunnel below, and he didn't know what was going on? But let it go like this?

Looking at Gu Xiangning: "With our ability, what troubles can't be dealt with? Now, in this situation, besides chasing after him, do we have any other way?"

"Who knows if I missed this time, who knows if there is another chance? What if the other party stops?"

This statement is reasonable, Gu Xiangning thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement; "What you said is also reasonable, no matter who is hiding in the dark, if you want to harm your father-in-law and others, you must be caught."

Now that the decision was made, the two of them began to search for traps everywhere, and soon opened the trap. It was indeed a secret passage, and Bai Jing naturally followed.

"Master, Shigong, let me lead the way, let the little snake go ahead, smell the scent, we won't take a detour."

Xiaoman didn't treat Bai Jing as his own at first, even though he brought her back together, it was just for Qian Jiujiu's sake, let's take care of her more.

I never expected that it would play such a big role now. Although Bai Jing still has some arrogance, Xiao Man appreciates it very much.

The three of them continued to move forward, and followed the little snake into the tunnel, all the way forward. After reaching the bottom, they walked for a long time before Xiaoman and others found out.

This place is actually an underground palace, who is so courageous? Such an underground palace was built in the underground of Kyoto, and these tunnels seem to extend in all directions.

Don't know what to do? It seemed that they discovered a big secret by accident. The two looked at each other, and finally the little snake in front of them stopped moving.

Of course it wasn't because the road had come to an end, but because all the men in black who went to attack were poisoned to death in the entire underground palace, and the clues were completely broken up to now.

Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning looked at each other and sighed: "Okay, things are now like this, let's go back first and make plans."

Hearing Gu Xiangning's words, even if Xiaoman is unwilling, what can she do? Having said that, and still caring about the safety of the three of them, he nodded and agreed to go back.

As a result, when the three of them rushed back to Chen's house, they saw Eunuch Xiang standing next to the emperor standing in the lobby, watching Xiao Man come back, and immediately came over to greet him.

"Meet the county magistrate, Prime Minister Gu, the emperor summoned the two of you to enter the palace."

Of course, Gu Xiangning and Xiao Man also knew why the emperor asked them to enter the palace. The burning of the other courtyard was such a big matter. Up to now, the other courtyard is still burning with raging fire.

Who can hide it like this? Everyone can see it, okay, I glanced at Eunuch Xiang: "Eunuch Xiang, please wait a moment, I will write a letter to my sister first."

Speaking of which, Xiaoman went back to his room, picked up a pen, and began to write about the burning of the other courtyard and the discovery of the underground palace, and sent it to Qian Jiujiu.

Then he came out of the room and looked at Gu Xiangning: "Let's go, go to the palace, I'm going to ask the emperor, who is so bold?"

"It's fine if you can't tolerate me, but even my family wants to kill them all. The family that can mobilize so many men in black must be quite powerful."

Speaking of which, Xiaoman turned his head again and looked at the butler who was still guarding here: "After all, the guards of the Chen residence are a little weaker. After I enter the capital, I will let the guards of the palace come to pick you up."

"Escort all of you to the palace to recuperate."

The butler nodded, and Gu Xiangning and Xiaoman left with Eunuch Xiang. The first thing they did when they arrived in the city was to go to the Prince's Mansion and talk to the butler about it.

After the steward of the palace said that this matter would be arranged, Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning went to the palace, where the imperial concubine had already been rescued.

At this moment, she also knew that what she had done had actually killed the child in her stomach, but she never thought that it was all her fault.

The whole person was sullen, lying on the bed without saying a word, Lianzi looked at her noble concubine with some worries: "Madam, the imperial dining room has brought porridge, do you want to eat?"

The imperial concubine didn't even look at Lianzi: "Lianzi, do you think it's my fault? I just want to never fall out of favor. My father was dismissed from office and my younger brother was exiled."

"I just want the emperor to pay more attention to me. Is there something wrong with me? Why is God so cruel? Why did you let my child leave me like this?"

Lianzi just didn't dare to say a word, she could only stand by silently, the imperial concubine couldn't stop her tears: "It's all right now, the emperor really won't look at me at all."

"The emperor believed the words of that bitch Chen Man'er, thinking that this palace wanted to compete for favor, and killed both this palace and the emperor's child. No, it's not my fault."

"It's not Ben Gong's fault, it's all the Queen's fault. If she hadn't made some flop rules, Ben Gong wouldn't use such a method to self-mutilate. It's all the Queen's fault."

"She killed my child, and I want her child to die..."

After saying this, her cheeks were ferocious, Lianzi looked at such a noble concubine, and frowned: "Madam, this servant knows that you are heartbroken now, but don't talk nonsense."

"There are a lot of people in this palace with mixed eyes, my lady, please be careful with your words."

The noble concubine sat up from the bed all of a sudden: "Speak carefully? All my children have been killed by someone, so why are you still talking carefully? I can't wait to die right now."

Lianzi looked at the imperial concubine helplessly; "Your Majesty, you can't give up on yourself like this. My sister's revenge has not been avenged yet, and now I have the little prince's revenge."

"We have to cheer up before we can take revenge."

Speaking of which, Lianzi approached the noble concubine and whispered in her ear: "Your Majesty, don't forget the main purpose of recruiting Chen Man'er into the palace today."

"The other courtyard has already been burned. That Chen Man'er must be in great pain. I just don't know how many members of the Chen family died? The news hasn't been sent in yet, maybe there will be good news later."

The imperial concubine's eyes flickered: "What you said makes sense, these are considered interest, and I must all die."

There was a fierce light in his eyes, as if he had seen Xiaoman and others die in front of them. In fact, Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning are now standing in front of the emperor well.

The emperor looked at the two of them worriedly: "Why did the other courtyard catch fire? What's going on?"

Xiaoman frowned, and told the truth about what happened in the other courtyard. The emperor was also shocked, especially after hearing what Xiaoman said.

If they went back a little slower, her younger brother would be gone. The emperor was so angry that he slapped the dragon chair: "These people are so daring."

"In broad daylight, you dare to send so many people to assassinate, it is a crime worthy of death. Gu Aiqing, Xiao Man, I order you now, I feel that the investigation will reveal the truth."

"I will definitely give you justice."

Xiaoman looked at the emperor with a half-smile: "The emperor really intends to give Yongxi justice? Actually, this matter is easy to investigate, and it must have nothing to do with the noble concubine in your harem."

"Don't forget, why we entered the palace today, your imperial concubine is the biggest contributor to distracting Gu Xiangning and me away."

When the emperor heard this, he directly wrinkled his nose: "Xiao Man, I know that some time ago because of the matter of the imperial concubine, I neglected the queen, which also made you a little dissatisfied."

"But the imperial concubine is just a woman in the harem, how can she act so viciously?"

Xiaoman raised her eyebrows: "Has the emperor forgotten that there is a saying that the most poisonous woman has a heart? It's better that this matter has nothing to do with her, if it has anything to do with her."

"The emperor intends to favor her, or is he planning to give an explanation to the county magistrate?"

The emperor heard Xiaoman's tone, obviously Xiaoman was a little angry, and he called himself the county lord in front of him, but the emperor obviously wouldn't be angry with Xiaoman.

Sighing: "Xiao Man, you don't know that the imperial concubine has been very kind since she was a child. I still remember that when my mind was a little unclear, others said I was stupid and a fool."

"It's only her who comes to accompany me from time to time, saying that I'm not stupid, that I have clean eyes, and that I'm a pure little brother, even though it's been so many years."

"But in my eyes, the imperial concubine is still the kind little girl who understands and comforts me."

When Xiaoman heard this, a sneering smile rose from the corner of his mouth: "Is there someone else who didn't say anything about what the emperor said?"

"Usually in such a plot, there will be another little girl with a vicious mind, who will bully that fool and that pure-minded girl every day."

"My county lord believes that your imperial concubine must be the girl who bullies fools every day! I'm telling you, Your Majesty, you know people but don't know their hearts."

"It's been so many years, who knows what that kind girl of yours will look like? Anyway, I'll check it out, and it's best if it has nothing to do with her."

"Otherwise, the emperor knows my methods, and I won't give the emperor any face, no matter if she is your woman or not! If you want to murder my family, I will definitely not tolerate it."

Seeing the change in the emperor's face, Gu Xiangning immediately opened his mouth to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, Xiaoman is just angry, after all, the situation is critical this time."

"If Xiaoman hadn't brought back two talented people when he came back this time, I'm afraid that the Chen family would be extinct again this time, and Xiaoman's father would have died tragically."

"I also ask the emperor to read Xiaoman's worries about his family, and don't blame him."

The emperor was stunned when he heard Gu Xiangning's words, and suddenly felt bitter: "Forget it, I won't blame Xiaoman, you all know it."

"Just when did you draw a clear line with me?"

Xiaoman and the little girl looked at each other when they heard the emperor's words, but they didn't say anything, until the corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, they still didn't speak.
