The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 457 Recognition (Part 2)

"What are you yelling! Who is your aunt!" Su Gonggong scolded in a low voice, "Don't think that you can come here to recognize relatives just because you look a little like the young master!"

Is it okay for the palace people to hear this kind of words?

Xiao Liulang looked at Empress Xiao who had stopped in her tracks. Empress Xiao did not turn her head back. His throat slid, and he said awkwardly, "Has the sapling Ah Heng planted in my aunt's dormitory grow taller?"

"Heng, what are you doing?"

"I'm planting a tree. I want to plant a big tree for my aunt! When spring comes, the tree will bloom a lot of flowers! Peonies, peonies, morning glory... When autumn comes, the tree will bear a lot of fruit! Dates , peaches, pears, and chestnuts!"

"Chestnuts? Who taught you to say this? Also, do you have so many flowers and so many fruits, all from this tree?"

"Yes!"

"that's not allowed."

"Other people's small trees are not allowed, but the trees planted by Ah Heng are fine!"

Xiao Douding patted his small chest confidently, sweating profusely and began to plant trees in Kunning Palace.

Xiao Liulang choked up and said, "...Did the tree Ah Heng planted for my aunt produce dates, peaches, pears, and chestnuts?"

Ah Heng!

It's her Ah Heng!

Empress Xiao turned around abruptly, looking at Xiao Liulang with red eyes in disbelief.

how come……

Isn't Ah Heng already dead?

She saw all the dead bodies...

If he is Ah Heng, why didn't I hear the elder brother mention it?

Why has he entered the palace so many times and never came to look for her?

What the hell is going on here?

Empress Xiao walked towards Xiao Liulang in a daze.

Eunuch Su glanced at his master with a complicated expression, stepped aside wisely, and dismissed the irrelevant palace servants three feet away.

When Queen Xiao came in front of Xiao Liulang, Xiao Liulang's eyes were flushed, but he held back his tears.

Empress Xiao raised her hand, touched his cheek carefully, tears fell down: "Are you really Ah Heng? You..."

She put her fingertips under his right eye, "Where is this tear mole?"

"It's gone." Xiao Liulang said.

Empress Xiao choked with tears and said, "Why is it gone? What happened back then? You tell aunt!"

Xiao Liulang didn't know how to start.

He didn't know why the mole disappeared. He woke up lying in a dilapidated inn, beside Xiao Liulang's eldest brother Xiao Su.

"Aunt, let Long Yi go, okay?"

"Don't be angry with Long Yi."

"Aheng apologizes to aunt on Long Yi's behalf."

Empress Xiao was so angry that she punched Xiao Liulang with her fist, and she faced her face with tears, "You bastard! You won't come to recognize me unless you intercede with him!"

The people at the other end didn't know what happened at all, they saw Xiao Liulang said something to Empress Xiao, which made Empress Xiao cry agitatedly, and even beat him up.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that he didn't bring any strength.

Before everyone could figure out what happened between Empress Xiao and Xiao Liulang, Empress Xiao's confidant, Eunuch Su, walked over with his whisk.

He said to the imperial guards: "The queen has an order, you have nothing to do here, you can go."

Praetorian: What? !

The princess panicked.

Others don't know what's going on, can't she see it?

Xiao Heng clearly recognized Empress Xiao.

After returning to Beijing for so long, I didn't recognize anyone from the past, but at this juncture, I recognized Empress Xiao.

Why?

For this woman and this guard?

Just now she slandered Gu Jiao for instigating Long Yi, now that Gu Jiao has transformed into the wife of Empress Xiao's most beloved nephew, she dare not think about how Empress Xiao will punish her next.

The princess fainted on the spot, and she didn't know whether it was caused by the weakness of the slippery tire, or she was frightened by the consequences she would bear next.

Empress Xiao brought Xiao Liulang back to Kunning Palace.

Originally, they wanted to take Gu Jiao with them, but Gu Jiao was snatched away by Long Yi.

Empress Xiao withdrew her servants, pulled Xiao Liulang to sit in her room and talked, the window was wide open, and Xiao Liulang could be seen clearly from the angle of the two of them... No, it should be said that it was the little plant planted by Xiao Heng when he was young. sapling.

It was an orange tree, and it could neither bear dates, peaches, pears, or chestnuts, and the oranges it produced were actually not very tasty.

Empress Xiao burst into tears and laughed, "The oranges you grow are really unpalatable!"

Empress Xiao was eager to know what happened back then, but Xiao Heng couldn't say anything.

Empress Xiao's eyes fell on the cane next to the chair again: "What's the matter with your leg? Is it an injury that happened four years ago?"

"No." Xiao Liulang shook his head.

It was the injury from saving Feng Lin.

In a fire, someone died because of him; in another fire, someone lived because of him.

His legs were crippled, but the sins on his body seemed to have been redeemed a little bit.

Although he still cannot wash away all his sins, he can slowly pay back in pain for the rest of his life.

Xiao Liulang: "Auntie, this matter..."

Empress Xiao said: "I understand. Although I don't know why you did this, Auntie thinks that you must have your own difficulties. When you are willing to tell Auntie, come to Auntie again."

Neither of them mentioned anything about Wen Linlang.

Let the past pass. The reason why Empress Xiao agreed to this marriage was because she really thought that Xiao Heng had passed away. Otherwise, she would not allow the prince to snatch his fiancée with his cousin even if she broke his leg.

Empress Xiao patted the back of his hand: "Auntie won't tell anyone about you, don't worry."

"Thank you, aunt."

Xiao Liulang got up and left.

As soon as he left the Kunning Palace, Empress Xiao called her confidant hidden guards: "Quickly go and tell my brother that Ah Heng is still alive!"

The confidant hidden guard let out an uh: "Master, didn't you promise him not to tell anyone?"

Empress Xiao said righteously and sternly: "When has my elder brother been a human being?"

Confidant secret guard: "..."

This is the worst time Xuan Ping Hou was hacked...

...

King Ning must be punished, but it is up to the emperor's decision on what crime to punish.

Family ugliness should not be publicized, the private relationship between King Ning and the princess was not disclosed, but the fact that both Wen Yang and Xiao Heng were brutally murdered by King Ning made it known to the world.

The declared motive is to attack the prince. One is the prince's brother-in-law and the other is the prince's cousin. No matter how you look at it, King Ning is indeed trying to move people around the prince.

Wen Yang's reputation is not good, but the young master was the best in Zhaodu, famous all over the world, and he was the white moonlight in many people's minds.

Hearing that he died at the hands of King Ning, there was a lot of criticism from the people.

Naturally, there are also some who justify King Ning, thinking that the current sage has been deceived by others.

"How could someone as high-minded as His Royal Highness Ning do such vicious things? I'm afraid someone is dealing with His Royal Highness Ning?"

"I hope that His Majesty will not listen to the slander and make His Royal Highness King Ning wronged."

"Could it be the crown prince who did it? Think about it, the crown prince married the young master's fiancée. If the young master did not die, would he be able to marry Miss Wen? As for Wen Yang, on the surface he was the elder brother of the princess, but It's not a thing at all! Killing him is to vent your anger for the Crown Princess!"

There are more and more people avenging King Ning in the streets and alleys. Whether it is the will of the people or someone deliberately guiding it is unknown.

But what is certain is that no matter what the public opinion of the people is, the emperor has no intention of pardoning King Ning.

Zhuang Taifu asked to see the emperor, but was directly refused by the emperor.

Taifu Zhuang went to Renshou Palace again, hoping that Queen Mother Zhuang would order the emperor to pardon King Ning.

"Fate?" The Empress Dowager Zhuang made him laugh angrily, "When will you be able to order the emperor if you mourn your family?"

Taifu Zhuang snorted coldly: "Hasn't the queen mother always done this? These years, the queen mother has done less things against the emperor? Why is the queen mother not effective when it comes to King Ning?"

The Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at him with blazing eyes: "You know better than me how King Ning got to where he is today step by step."

Taifu Zhuang said coldly: "Prince Ning has the ambition and power of an emperor, so why not support him!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at him coldly: "The power of an emperor in your mouth is to occupy younger brothers and wives and disregard human lives?"

Taifu Zhuang is Prince Ning's grandfather after all, some things are unknown to the people, how can he not know?

He did not excuse King Ning, but clenched his fists and said, "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Queen Mother, you told me this. Is the Queen Mother planning to slap her on her own?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said nonchalantly, "So what?"

Zhuang Taifu choked.

Immediately, his eyes gradually became disappointed: "Queen Mother, you have changed. From the moment you approached Xiao Liulang, you no longer put the banker first in your heart."

This kind of provocative method is useless to Empress Dowager Zhuang, and Empress Dowager Zhuang said sharply: "Don't talk to Xiao Liulang with Aijia! Do you want Aijia to feel ashamed or something! This trick is useless to Aijia! Who is Aijia willing to spoil? It’s Aijia’s business! Aijia’s willingness to leave it alone is Aijia’s business! Don’t think that Aijia’s crimes are serious if you accuse Aijia of a few words. Also, did Aijia warn you long ago that the building behind the sky will collapse, and it is right to retreat bravely, but you insist on going your own way! Who strengthened the courage of King Ning? Who strengthened the power of King Ning? And who is determined to push King Ning into the vortex of seizing the throne! Now that you know how to protect him, didn't you think you would kill him when you pushed him to fight for the throne!"

"To put it bluntly, the Empress Dowager just wants to ignore King Ning!" Taifu Zhuang sneered, "I would like to know, if Xiao Liulang is the person who was demoted today, would the Empress Dowager stand by like this?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said mightily and domineeringly: "What a coincidence, the Ai family also wants to know."

Taifu Zhuang: "..."

The Empress Dowager Zhuang who will never take the lead.

Before Mrs. Zhuang left, he took a deep look at the Empress Dowager Zhuang: "I hope that the Empress Dowager will not regret everything she has done."

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes flickered: "The Ai family will also give you these words."
