Finally looking at the bare flower pole, she fell silent.
That's all, God's will is like this, so she will take it as an ostrich to the end!
She pursed her lips and couldn't help but feel a little sullen. Looking at her two paws that were still wrapped in gauze, she felt a little aggrieved and depressed inexplicably——
Huh, it's been seven days, and the dead eunuch isn't worried about her at all? He didn't even send anyone to the door, otherwise she could at least get some news!
Thinking about it, and feeling that she was being hypocritical, Ming Lanruo sighed and leaned against the soft pillow in boredom, poking Dahuang's butt that was drinking water.
People, you can't be bored. When you are bored, you start to be pretentious.
Dahuang's fat butt was poked so hard that she almost peed. He couldn't drink water properly, and he just wished he couldn't turn around and bite her.
Why is this witch so annoying!
He looks irritable and yearning for spring, so he can just go and mate with that evil and ferocious devil!
Spring is here. The mantises, salamanders, scorpions, and even the tigers it had eaten before were all like this. When they were in estrus, they would look for a mate! What was she doing to tease them here?
It was the noble Spider King and was not interested in an ugly human witch like her. Big Yellow rolled his eyes, simply put his buttocks up, jumped to the wall and crawled away.
Of course, the noble Dahuang has no way of understanding that there are artificial species like eunuchs in the human world.
…
At this time, the 'monstrous and ferocious devil' was sitting in the Huarong Hall in the palace, drinking tea slowly and watching a play.
"Bang!"
A white porcelain landscape paperweight was thrown hard on the prince's head, instantly beating him to a bloody head!
Prince Shangguan Zhou did not dare to have any dissatisfaction. He just fell on the ground with a face full of fear and pain: "Father, please calm down. It is not a pity to die for my son, but your dragon body is important!"
"Trash! It's been seven days, what have you found out?" Emperor Ming was extremely angry and pointed at his nose, shaking with anger.
The entire black market was burned down. The person responsible for the operation of the black market was stabbed by his butler. He was beaten for seven days. Today he is completely free!
The remains of Xiao and his sword were sold for such a high price, a full 60,000 taels of gold, the price of a city, but the money and things disappeared as well!
My son checked here and there, but found nothing!
Shangguan Zhou's face was sad, and blood was dripping down his forehead. The hatred and regret in his heart were no less than those of the emperor.
His father handed over the black market to him. Seeing that his profits in previous years were normal, he thought of opening a hunting ground this year. He managed to get a group of refugees from the Northeast to come over. In addition, his father relented and allowed him to auction the Xiao family's property.
Bones and sword.
He thought he could do something big this year, but what happened?
Everything was smashed!
If he wanted to know who dared to steal his money and things, he would have to cut them into pieces~!
The emperor looked at his eldest son, his eyes full of irritation and disappointment: "Zhouer, you disappoint me so much!"
The prince once again kowtowed deeply to Emperor Ming: "The other party is so ruthless. It is obvious that they have made sufficient and long-term preparations. Father, please give me another chance. I will definitely investigate the case of the destruction of the black market and get to the bottom of it!"
Although he was heartbroken when the black market was destroyed, Shangguan Zhou understood very well that he finally teamed up with Ming Lanruo to get Empress Zhou to be grounded, and the emperor's attitude towards him improved.
If the emperor feels that he is not useful because of the destruction of the black market, it will only benefit Shangguan Hongye!
The emperor took a deep breath and said angrily: "What can you find out? Those things from the Xiao family are missing. You still can't find out whether it is the remnants of the Xiao family that are causing trouble!"
"When you asked me to take out those things, didn't you mean that you could improve the reputation of the black market and check whether any remnants of the Xiao family would come to your door?!"
The prince was embarrassed by the question. He gritted his teeth and couldn't help but look at Cang Qiao, who was sitting and watching the show: "Master Qiantose was also there at the time. Dongchang must be able to find out something. Please give me some advice!"
Why, Cang Qiao, the eunuch who was present at the time, could stay out of the matter, but he had to kneel here and tremble!
Cang Qiaofeng's eyes narrowed slightly and she chuckled: "Your Highness, please forgive me, but our family is incompetent. For a while, we really couldn't find out whether it was the remnants of the Xiao family that were responsible."
Cang Qiao expressed in such a loud voice that he had not found it.
Emperor Ming looked at the prince angrily with a very ugly face: "You are really promising. You have taken over the black market for many years. Now that there are such big mistakes, you don't want to make up for it, but you start biting others everywhere!"
The prince hurriedly said: "No, my son doesn't dare!"
He was filled with hatred, but he could only keep his head down.
"Okay, get out!" Seeing his son's head covered with blood and looking pitiful, Emperor Ming was extremely annoyed.
He once again began to question whether it was right for him to make his eldest son the prince.
"Yes." The prince covered his head in embarrassment and retreated.
Watching the prince leave and Emperor Ming sitting tiredly on the throne, Cang Qiao stood up and slowly stepped forward to massage Emperor Ming's temples.
"Your Majesty, calm down, your health is important."
Emperor Ming's face was extremely ugly: "In your opinion, does this matter have anything to do with the remnants of the Xiao family?"
Cang Qiao paused and said slowly: "On the surface it looks like someone is taking advantage of others, but secretly it may have something to do with the remnants of the Xiao family."
Emperor Ming paused and opened his eyes slightly: "Aiqing also thinks so, but the buyer who took the photo has been arrested and tortured, and it was only found out that he is a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River!"
Cang Qiao said calmly: "The Xiao family has been exterminated and disappeared for twenty years. Even if it has nothing to do with them, there are still people like Prince Jing who are ready to use Xiao Shuai's things to rebel in the name of the Xiao family."
Emperor Ming was particularly suspicious. He had already determined that the matter was related to the Xiao family. It would be better to follow his words and just change the emphasis.
Sure enough, Emperor Ming immediately said suspiciously and gloomily: "That's right, the remnants of the Red Blood Legion of the Xiao family have not appeared for so many years. They did not even appear when the Xiao family, old, young, women and children were buried under the rocks and eaten by jackals.
"
"Now it's just a sword, how can skeletons and bones suddenly come out to snatch it? Those royal family members and vassal princes are probably trying to use the name of the remnants of the Xiao family again. I have been sitting on the throne for twenty years, and they are still rubbish.
Don’t give up!”
Emperor Ming gnashed his teeth in hatred and couldn't help but smashed things all over the floor.
Cang Qiao took back her hand and watched him indifferently.
After he had enough attacks, he slowly said: "We will investigate carefully, Your Majesty, don't worry."
Emperor Ming looked at him full of hope and exhaustion: "Then there is Lao Aiqing. There are many civil and military officials in the dynasty who are not as useful as Aiqing."
Cang Qiao held his fists and retreated without expression.
Emperor Ming looked at his back, his eyes a little gloomy and irritable, Cang Qiao was fine with everything, the only bad thing was that he had to worry about that dead girl Ming Lanruo.
He thought for a while and ordered the little eunuch beside him: "Go and summon Ming Lanruo into the palace for me!"
If Minglan was the person closest to the Xiao family in the court, and such a big thing happened in the black market, he would still have to take a look at the dead girl in person and ask about it before he would feel relieved.
"Yes." The little eunuch saluted respectfully.
Turning his back, the matter came to Cang Qiao. He was originally preparing to leave the palace. His cold eyes narrowed slightly and he sneered: "Go ahead and call Princess Ming into the palace."
The little eunuch turned around and left, while Cang Qiao made up his mind to stay in the palace. He hadn't seen the little empress in some days, and they still had accounts to settle.
Ming Lanruo accepted the news and entered the palace, knowing in her heart that this day was bound to come. Emperor Ming was so suspicious, how could he not summon her to test him!
She dressed up casually without haste, got into the carriage and headed to the palace gate.
When she arrived at the palace gate, she saw Shangguan Hongye walking towards her in a criminal uniform. She raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to say something.
But he directly took her hand and went to the palace, looking very intimate.
Ming Lanruo frowned and whispered: "Why is Your Highness coming here suddenly? Let me go."
Shangguan Hongye lowered his head and looked at her hand, only to find that her hand was wrapped with gauze. He frowned slightly and said, "Why did you hurt your hand?"
Ming Lanruo calmly found an excuse: "I got burned while cooking."
Shangguan Hongye carefully avoided her palm and held her wrist instead: "That's good."
