Silently suppressing the blood boiling in her chest, Xiao Xiruo felt that she couldn't think about this matter, and the more she thought about it, the worse it became.
So not only did she not answer Wen Susu's question, she also threw the question to Wen Susu.
When Wen Susu heard the words from her: "As my doctor, you don't know why I vomited blood?", Wen Susu fell silent.
If she knew, then she would not be a doctor but a roundworm.
Fortunately, Xi Yang was smart and immediately took over the conversation with a smile, talking about a strange thing he heard in Shoukang Palace.
"The hidden stake of the Hua family is missing?"
Xiao Xiruo was shocked, and the mood that had just been depressed due to the loss of achievements suddenly found an outlet.
"It's not just the Hua family. I heard that King Qi and King Xuan also lost a lot of hidden stakes. If you want me to tell you, they have just suffered retribution. Who told them to deliberately slander you..."
Before Xi Yang finished speaking, he received unanimous approval from Xue Xue and others.
As early as a few days ago, Xiangxue and the others were filled with righteous indignation and wished they could rush up and kill those long-tongued people.
Now that they know that those people have suffered retribution, they are naturally happier than anyone else.
In Xue Xue's words, if they knew who helped eliminate these disasters, they would be the first to rush up and thank him.
"Okay, okay, it's just a rumor. Who knows if it's true or false?"
Xiao Xiruo comforted her with kind words, but did not take the matter to heart.
Because she was more concerned about Yan Moqing who suddenly took action to help King Xuan's family turn things around than the disappearance of all the hidden stakes.
Yan Moqing is the heroine in this book. She not only has the love of all the men in the book, but also has superb martial arts and excellent medical skills given by the author. Of course, IQ and courage are also the first echelon in the book.
Just like what was written in the original article, this person was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and collected, and had a presence that no one, including her, Xiao Xiruo, could ignore.
But such an almost perfect character was doing a series of things that Xiao Xiruo couldn't understand.
She traveled through the book, and Yan Moqing traveled through time. Although one came from the modern era outside the book and the other came from the modern era inside the book, she subjectively felt that Yan Moqing should have a similar outlook on the future as hers.
In other words, it is impossible for Yan Moqing to be unaware of the shortcomings of emphasizing civility over military affairs, as well as the fact that aristocratic families in the DPRK favored nepotism, and the border troops were repeatedly suppressed.
Since you know this, why do you still want to join forces with King Xuan and target the Xiao family?
Xiao Xiruo couldn't understand.
And having only read the first third of the novel and the summary of the ending, she was unable to analyze Yan Moqing from the overall plot.
So in the end, she could only comfort herself with different positions and different perspectives, and at the same time strengthen her determination to confront Yan Moqing.
She never takes the initiative to provoke others, but those who provoke her don't want to be left alone.
With this in mind, Xiao Xiruo summoned Bai Xue and An Xue, the best detectives among the Sixteen Snows, and asked them to immediately lead ten Xiliu Camp masters to leave the capital and go to Qingyun Mountain in Wu County to find someone.
"You only need to hand this letter to her. As for whether she is willing to come to the capital with you, it depends on her own wishes."
"Yes, empress!"
The day after Bai Xue and Bai Xue left, Xi Yang brought back new news for Xiao Xiruo.
Those who were missing in the city were not only those hidden piles, but also some wealthy young men who were happy to see her spread in rumors and madly slandered her, as well as some local hooligans who spoke vulgarly.
These people either have a low status in their family, or are uneducated and ignorant. They don’t know the inside story and they spread the word...
Anyway, they are all missing.
But compared to the hidden piles of the aristocratic family, the disappearance of these people seems insignificant.
If the Hua family had not been afraid of fraud, they would not have written down everything in detail and reported it to Queen Mother Hua.
When Queen Mother Hua learned about this, she immediately secretly summoned Xi Yang...
"The Queen Mother asked the servant if it was someone under your command who did it? After all, these missing people have verbally attacked you, and their words were vulgar..."
Xi Yang lowered his head, not to mention the Queen Mother Hua being suspicious, even he felt this way.
However, he still insisted that the empress did not, because the empress had ordered that she would never go behind their backs.
And unlike the righteous indignation of these people, the empress really doesn't care.
Not only that, she feels very happy when others scold her.
It's a pity that Queen Mother Hua obviously doesn't believe it.
Just as Xi Yang thought, Xiao Xiruo quickly made it clear that the matter had nothing to do with her.
But it doesn't rule out the possibility that people from Xiliu Camp or Yewang Mansion want to help her vent her anger, or that someone wants to frame her.
However, the news quickly spread that no one in Xiliu Camp or Yewang Mansion had the time to take care of this matter.
After all, they nearly broke their legs trying to refute the rumors and cause trouble during those two days.
In desperation, Xiao Xiruo could only let Xi Yang continue to watch and report any news to her as soon as possible.
So two days later, Xi Yang came back from Shoukang Palace in a hurry and told her that all the missing people had been found.
There are quite a few of them, and all of them can run and jump.
Xiao Xiruo's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this, and she said in her heart that those who knew knew that they were missing, but those who didn't knew thought they were on a group vacation.
However, Xi Yang's next words instantly made Xiao Xiruo no longer in the mood to complain.
He still has life, but his tongue is missing.
"The Hua family has sent people to see all the people who came back, and no one was spared. They all had their tongues pulled out. However, the person who pulled out their tongues was very skilled in medicine and treated the wounds extremely properly..."
Holding back the chill on his back, Xi Yang narrated in detail:
"They don't remember how they disappeared, let alone when their tongue disappeared... They said that when they woke up this morning, the wound had scabbed over."
I don’t know how I disappeared, and I have never seen the person who pulled out my tongue. When I woke up, I was staggering around in the wilderness...
Putting all the clues together, there are actually no clues.
There is no way to investigate, there is no trace to be found, and these people have been missing for several days. Since the other party has such extraordinary abilities, they must have wiped out the whole thing.
It is true that the three major aristocratic families are not impossible to investigate. As long as they are willing to spend a lot of money, they can always find some clues.
And they were almost certain that this matter had something to do with the Xiao family. Especially after Xiao Xiruo had interfered with the military rations, they almost subconsciously felt that Xiao Xiruo had taken action again.
But they won't check it because they want to lose face.
Inciting rumors is not a big deal, so the hidden stakes they sent were all weak soldiers and crab generals, and it was not worth them to go to war.
And if they investigate in a big way, wouldn't it mean that they directly admit that they were the ones behind the rumor and harmed Xiao Xiruo?
That's all. The subordinates were so worthless that Xiao Xiruo picked them out one by one and pulled out their tongues...
Think about it, they can't afford to lose this person.
Therefore, the matter was quickly suppressed by the three families and dropped immediately.
The terrifying level of Xiao Xiruo, the sickly noble concubine, has also changed from the original rampage and brainlessness to a sweet talk, a sword and a heart like a snake and scorpion.
In this regard, Xiao Xiruo looked at the negative income that had skyrocketed in the past few days, and then hugged the pot tightly with peace of mind.
Well, it’s me, it’s me! This chapter has been completed!
