Mr. Xiao Guogong raised his legs and stepped into the courtyard, but the door of Mrs. Xiao's room was closed tightly. His eyes glanced at the housekeeper.
The stewardess stepped forward with trembling hands and feet, and almost fell down. Xiao Guogong's eyelids trembled, thinking that he was too powerful and frightened the stewardess, but they turned out to be a bunch of ants.
Mammy put her trembling hand on the door, closed her eyes, and suddenly pulled the door open, then slapped one hand on the threshold.
Xiao Guogong looked at the woman lying on the ground in front of him. Her hair was messy, her skin was pale, and she was skinny and skinny.
"Who is this?"
Duke Xiao ignored the stench coming from the shop, and his heart suddenly dropped. But he still couldn't believe it. He pointed at the people on the ground, but no one answered.
The nun in charge had already retreated when Xiao Guogong was stunned.
"Turn her over."
Duke Xiao Guogong stared and ordered his two men.
The two people quickly obeyed, but the moment they turned over, they were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
Although this woman is so thin that she loses her appearance, if this is not the always glamorous and beautiful Concubine Xiao, who could she be?
She kept her eyes open but remained motionless. Her body was stiff and she had obviously been dead for some time.
"The Duke of the country, yes, the concubine, she, she is dead."
The servant was so shocked that he lost his soul and stammered, unable to form sentences.
Duke Xiao Guo gasped for breath and looked straight at the scene in front of him. The daughter he had carefully cultivated, who had made the Xiao family a member of the royal family and lived a glorious life, died like this?
He, Duke Xiao, was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. How could his daughter be lying like this in this dilapidated and cold palace?
He had just lost his son, and now he was asked to bury his daughter?
No wonder the emperor must come to take his daughter back to his home in person. The emperor already knew that it was the emperor who killed his own daughter.
"Ah!" Xiao Guogong suddenly roared angrily.
"I'm going to kill you, kill you! You bastards, come out here!"
No matter how irrational he was, he could not directly kill the emperor, but took it out on the slaves in the cold palace.
The stewardess and the other palace servants in the cold palace hid tightly and did not dare to show their anger, for fear that they would be killed by Xiao Guogong in a fit of anger.
Xiao Guogong clenched his fists and looked around. He became even more angry. These ants actually dared to ignore him.
"Emperor! Emperor! Poof!" Xiao Guogong was so furious that he shouted "Emperor" twice, then spit out a mouthful of blood and fell down.
"My lord, my lord."
The two people who followed Duke Xiao into the palace crawled over on their hands and feet. One thing after another made their legs weak.
Finally, he ran outside the Leng Palace, found the palace people, and reported to the emperor. Everyone was at a loss to get Xiao Guogong and Xiao's body back to the Duke's mansion, and invited the imperial doctor to come.
The imperial doctor took out the silver needle and pricked several needles into Xiao Guogong's body.
Xiao Guogong came to his senses in one breath, grabbed the imperial doctor's hand suddenly, and his eyes widened: "What are you doing?"
The imperial doctor had pain in his wrist and hurriedly explained:
"Xiao Guogong, please let go quickly. You fainted just now, and Wei Chen is giving you acupuncture treatment."
"Get out! Get away!"
Xiao Guogong tried his best to push the imperial doctor away and roared angrily:
"You and the emperor are in the same group. You are all in the same group. You all want to harm me, don't you? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! I will definitely live a long life."
"My lord, please calm down, this is really an imperial doctor."
Seeing this, his confidants hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
Xiao Guogong didn't seem to hear. He stood up holding the edge of the bed, drew out the sword from the guard, and pointed it directly at the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor was so frightened that he backed away.
After retreating to the courtyard, Xiao Guogong saw his daughter's body parked in the courtyard at a glance. He was so angry that he raised his sword and headed towards the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor would be frightened to death, and his confidants would also be frightened to death. If the imperial doctor were to be killed, even if it was Duke Xiao, it would cause heated discussions between the government and the public about impeachment.
The confidant didn't care much and hurriedly hugged Xiao Guogong.
"Mr. Imperial Physician, please leave quickly."
The imperial doctor rolled around and hurriedly left the Duke's mansion. He did not dare to stop for a moment and entered the palace to report back to the emperor.
Xiao Guogong opened his heart and glanced at the servants in the courtyard with sinister eyes. Perhaps among these people, the emperor had arranged to assassinate him.
He threw away the sword and walked to his daughter. His once graceful and noble daughter could not act like this even if she died, which made people laugh.
"Come here, please tidy up Concubine Xiao's appearance, and ask the eminent monk to do the best for her!"
Duke Xiao trembled his lips and gritted his teeth as he ordered.
Emperor, isn't he afraid that he will ruin everything and that the Yunxiao Kingdom will be carved up by the enemy?
"He won't!" The emperor on the dragon throne looked far away.
"Compared with his children, Duke Xiao loves himself more. He wants to get the Yunxiao Kingdom. As long as Jun Hongyan is still there, he will always have illusions. He will not want to completely destroy the country."
"Your Majesty is a wise man, but this servant is too shallow." Eunuch Fu responded, squeezing the emperor's shoulders.
He has been serving the emperor since he ascended the throne. For so many years, Yunxiao Kingdom seems to be calm, but in fact it is full of crises. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally grown up, and it is time to settle things.
The imperial doctor who left the emperor went to the East Palace to report back.
"How is Duke Xiao's health?"
Jun Lingyun raised his eyes from a pile of memorials.
"Back to Your Highness, Prince Xiao, Duke Xiao is in a state of intense rage. If he can cultivate himself well, he should be fine. If he is further stimulated, he may be in danger of having a stroke."
The imperial physician was still frightened when he recalled the scene that had just happened in the Duke's Mansion.
"Well, I've got to thank you, please step aside first."
Jun Lingyun played with the jade finger ring in his hand, and Xi'er took care of Aunt Liu. He should play with Xiao Guogong, so as not to be outdone by Xi'er.
It was a rainy night, and the branches were swaying. Jun Lingyun looked at the dark sky and was in a good mood. It was such a good weather.
In the Duke's Mansion, the sound of monks chanting scriptures continued. Xiao Guogong was lying on the bed, feeling drowsy and half asleep.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside. Xiao Guogong sat up suddenly, drew out the sword beside him, and rushed out of the house in his nightgown.
Did the emperor send someone to assassinate him? No, the emperor also pointed him at stabilizing the enemy country, otherwise he would not have lifted his ban. Is that the prince?
With three circles of guards inside and three circles outside his house, he didn't believe he couldn't catch the assassin.
"Where are the people? Where is the assassin?"
"The Duke of the country has deceived the corpse, and the noble concubine has defrauded the corpse."
The little maid who had been keeping vigil in front of Concubine Xiao's coffin stumbled over and was so frightened that she almost lost her voice.
Duke Xiao Guo walked out from among the guards protecting him, pointing his sword at the little maid.
"Are there any ghosts or gods in this world? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you!"
"No, no, I don't dare to talk nonsense. If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself."
The little maid looked in horror at the direction of the room where Concubine Xiao's coffin was parked.
Duke Xiao Guo walked away with his sword in his eyes, and the guards quickly followed.
When they arrived at the door of the house, everyone suddenly paused. They saw Concubine Xiao sitting upright in the coffin, her eyes staring forward like the ones Xiao Guogong saw in the cold palace, as if she had seen the hearts of everyone present.
