Cang Qiao looked at her and suddenly stretched out his hand to straighten her cloak: "You know, tonight's main auction item belongs to the Xiao family."
He used affirmative sentences.
Ming Lanruo paused, knowing that she couldn't hide it from him after all. She nodded: "Well, you know it, right?"
He has a good identity, and Beatrice has probably given him the full scoop just now.
Cang Qiao's eyes were dark: "No matter what it is, don't act rashly. The further away from everything in the Xiao family, the better."
Ming Lanruo looked at him and almost couldn't help but say - she was afraid she couldn't do it.
Not only is she not getting further and further away from the Xiao family, but she is already the only heir recognized by the Xiao family's power.
"Why, the Xiao family has been extinct for nearly 20 years. Is there any threat? If I can take back my grandfather's belongings, it will be a comfort to my mother's spirit in heaven." She finally asked calmly. "
A complicated light flashed in Cang Qiao's eyes, and she said calmly: "The Xiao family is His Majesty's rebel side. When His Majesty came to the throne, many people were dissatisfied. The main force of the Xiao family was at the border at that time. Many people hoped that the Xiao family would raise the flag of rebellion."
"Later, Marshal Xiao led several major generals to die in battle, and the Xiao family's women, children, and children also had an accident on Fuling Road. But later, there were still rebels who used the banner of the Xiao family and the late emperor. Even those who were wiped out in Dongchang before
Several vassal princes also used it in the name of rectifying the late emperor's name and clearing the grievances of the Xiao family."
"So even now, the Xiao family is still the most taboo in His Majesty's heart."
Ming Lanruo lowered her long eyelashes: "And I have a special status. Although I am a daughter of the Ming family, if I get involved with things from the Xiao family, your majesty will think that I have second thoughts."
In fact, she had long known Emperor Ming's taboos, but she did not expect that the Xiao family had such great appeal.
"It's good that you know, so no matter what the auction is later, promise me you won't take action."
Cang Qiao looked at her deeply, his dark and deep eyes seemed to be able to see through her heart.
Ming Lanruo raised her head and sighed softly: "Well, I understand."
He was doing it for her own good, how could she not understand.
Cang Qiao suddenly gave her a piece of news: "The real owner of the black market is Your Majesty."
Ming Lanruo's pupils shrank and she looked at him in disbelief: "What?!"
Cang Qiao whispered: "Otherwise, why do you think I am here? I am naturally responsible for monitoring the stability of the black market."
The black market is a deformed existence. Emperor Ming relied on the black market to raise funds for his rebellion. Later, after he won the throne, he handed over the black market to the prince.
The prince controls the black market. In recent years, Emperor Ming has become more and more indifferent, but in general, Emperor Ming's intelligence in the black market should not be underestimated.
Ming Lanruo suddenly raised her eyes, looked at him and asked, "Do you know about the hunting grounds outside?"
Cang Qiao said calmly: "The clan and nobles who supported Your Majesty back then needed entertainment, and the Crown Prince and Your Majesty needed money. They hit it off right away, so what do the common people mean?"
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but whispered: "Can't you stop it? You can obviously do it with your current ability, and the weak should not be trampled on!"
She couldn't forget the fear in the eyes of those in the hunting grounds and the desire and pain for survival.
She has also been trampled and tortured as a "weak person", so she naturally understands the injustice and unwillingness.
Cang Qiao looked at her for a long time, then raised the corners of her scarlet lips lightly: "Why should I stop it? I am a sycophant. Have you forgotten that the weak will not be trampled on, how can the strong be trampled on?"
Ming Lanruo looked at him with complicated emotions and said nothing.
"Why, do you think people like me are vicious, disgusting and despicable?" He smiled gloomily and reached out to hold her face so that she could not turn her head.
He suddenly expected to see the fear and even hatred for him in her eyes, just like what he often saw in other people's eyes.
They hated him and feared him, but they had to bow before him.
Wasn't it the same with his little girl many years ago?
Ming Lanruo did not avoid his fingers this time, she only raised her head and looked at him deeply, and suddenly said: "Do you really want me to hate you?"
Otherwise, why did you say those words?
Cang Qiao was startled, but he didn't expect her to kick the ball back to him. This chapter has been completed!
