"That may not be so. South Yue, North Qiang and West Frontier, just these three nations, the masterminds must be people from these nations. Perhaps, all three nations are participating in this matter ..."

Hu Xiao said earnestly. In this matter, she must be impartial and not rule out the possibility of her South Yue becoming a demon just because her South Yue was her own family.

Hearing that, Xue Mier felt extreme admiration for her, there was actually such a selfless person, she clapped her hands, and her eyes revealed a look of excitement.

"We need to eliminate them one by one. The Daoist that we captured today is the key to solving this case." Xue Mier squinted her eyes, she imitated Hu Xiao’s expression, she was extremely stern.

The two of them discussed for a long time, each of them talking about their own thoughts. It was almost time, but Xue Mier was not ready to leave.

Hu Xiao yawned, glanced at her, and spoke to drive her away, "Xue Mier, it’s getting late, why aren’t you going back yet, do you want to sleep here?"

Xue Mier didn’t want to sleep, but she still wanted to.

After listening, a glint flashed across Xue Mier’s eyes. She excitedly said, "It’s rare for you to understand me, so that’s what I’m thinking. You actually guessed my thoughts, I’m too excited, and to be honest, I want to stay and sleep with you today."

Xue Mier looked at Hu Xiao with anticipation, hoping that she would agree to her request.

"You want to climb into my bed?" Hu Xiao raised her eyebrows, wondering in his heart if Xue Mier took the wrong medicine, but she actually wanted to sleep with him.

"Yeah, I have never slept with you before. Hu Xiao, just promise me. I still have a lot of things that I want to say to you." Xue Mier stood up and directly sat on Hu Xiao’s bed.

She suddenly realised that she was too lucky with Hu Xiao, and that was why she wanted to sleep with him.

"No, no, I’m not used to sleeping with women, so just give up!" Hu Xiao yawned again and waved her hand, rejecting Xue Mier’s request.

Hearing this, Xue Mier’s expression froze, and then, she shamelessly said, "I don’t care, I’ll be sleeping here tonight. Big Sister Hu Xiao, don’t chase me away.

She treated Hu Xiao as her sister, so in her opinion, what’s wrong with sleeping with her sister?

"What does this have to do with me? Hurry up and leave! Stop getting in my way! I’m so sleepy!" Hu Xiao squinted her eyes, she was extremely tired, and now, with her on the bed, she would be able to sleep in a second.

Outside, Zhi Lan saw that Hu Xiao’s face was filled with unwillingness, and quickly walked in. She pulled Xue Mier up from the bed and rudely said: "Imperial Concubine, not everyone can sleep on Empress’s bed."

"I don’t care. Once we come to the south, there will be no Empress Imperial Concubine. I want to sleep with Hu Xiao." Xue Mier shook off Zhi Lan’s hands and said angrily. She didn’t care what rank it was, she wanted to sleep with Hu Xiao today.

However, she suffered the loss of no martial arts. Zhi Lan used violence and forcefully pulled her up from the bed, ignoring Xue Mier’s resistance, she forcefully dragged her out of the door.

Once the door was closed, the room became much quieter.

Xue Mier stood outside the door, and said while pouting: "You despicable woman, to be so violent, I curse you to never let anyone else take it."

Zhi Lan pretended not to hear, and turned her head to the side.

The next morning, Hu Xiao was still sleeping when she was woken up by the noise coming from outside. She half opened her eyes and held back her anger.

Morning is a good time to sleep, which people do not sleep, loud noise in the street.

"So noisy!" Hu Xiao covered her head with the blanket and shouted with her hoarse voice. He really angered her to death.

Just then, her door was pushed open by someone. Hu Xiao was startled as she pulled away her blanket in a daze and said angrily: "What are you doing, what are you doing? Are you letting me sleep so early in the morning?"

She vented her anger on the newcomer. No matter who he was, she didn’t care if he was scolded or not.

"Aiyo, my aunt! Can you still sleep? There’s a ruckus outside! The people are in a riot, yet you’re still sleeping!" Xue Mier’s hurried voice came from outside. After hearing it, Hu Xiao suddenly sat up from the bed, her eyes wide open, without a trace of sleepiness.

"Riots, what riots, people riots?" Hu Xiao had a look of disbelief. Why would there be a riot among the citizens?

"Yeah, it’s true. Hurry up and take a look." Xue Mier panicked. She accidentally stepped on her own foot and pounced towards Hu Xiao.

Fortunately, Hu Xiao dodged quickly and was not knocked down by her.

"Go get Chen Yingying and the others, we’ll go take a look together." Hu Xiao instructed calmly. She knew that the more she was in this situation, the more she couldn’t panic.

After a quarter of an hour, everyone walked down the main street in a majestic manner.

As soon as everyone had arrived, they heard a man pointing a finger at Hu Xiao from the crowd and said loudly, "Did you see that? She’s the Little Demon Empress, the Little Demon Empress is harming the common people!"

After she finished speaking, the crowd burst into an uproar, they pointed at Hu Xiao, some were discussing softly, some were even scolding her loudly.

Seeing this, the man felt pleased with himself and continued to shout, "It is because of her that we are imprisoned here and suffering. We cannot eat our fill because of her."

He had provoked the anger of the crowd, the people were filled with rage, they almost wanted to tear Hu Xiao apart. Hu Xiao, who was surrounded by the girls, looked extremely calm, but her heart was filled with rage, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back and kill the man.

Yin Fufeng and the civil servants were already here. After hearing the man’s words, the civil officials looked at each other, waiting for Hu Xiao to speak up.

Yin Fufeng looked at the commoners below him. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, calm down, Empress does things for East Court wholeheartedly, and not the Demon Empress that you all speak of. Furthermore, she does not have the ability to call the wind and summon the rain, so how can the Demon Empress say that?"

Yin Fufeng’s voice was loud, shocking the crowd below. Moreover, he had a hint of magical power on him that could calm everyone down and make them listen to his words.

But not long after, the people became restless again.

"Prime Minister Yin is right, you can’t listen to the wind and rain, you don’t understand the empress, but we understand her. The empress isn’t the empress, she acts for the nation and the people, and she has never done anything to harm the citizens of East Court." Censor He took over Yin Fufeng’s words and spoke seriously. He looked at the angry face of the commoners and sighed in his heart.

"You are on the same side as her, of course you would say so." The commoners did not believe Yin Fufeng and the others’ words.
