A sharp voice rang out in the crowd, and then a red figure suddenly rushed towards Ye Xiaoxiao.
Shangguan Lingyun hugged Ye Xiaoxiao into his arms and then moved to the side.
Tianxuan raised his foot and kicked Xu Cuicui, who was rushing towards him, away.
The red shadow that had just rushed over was blocked by Wang Xiao before it could reach Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked up and didn't expect that the person rushing out was Miss Hongling.
She patted Shangguan Lingyun who was hugging her tightly, and then came between Wang Xiao and Hong Ling.
"Thank you Miss Hongling for the reminder, but it's not that easy for a woman who doesn't even know martial arts to hurt me."
Hongling bowed to Ye Xiaoxiao somewhat awkwardly.
"Hongling greets Her Majesty, Her Majesty, and please forgive me. I was just worried about her for a moment, and that's why I lost my composure."
Ye Xiaoxiao excused her from the formalities and said, "Ms. Hongling, please don't be impulsive next time. If Wang Xiao loses control and hurts you, I will be heartbroken."
Hongling's pretty face flushed. [Your Majesty is so gentle. I love you so much. I wish I could leave with you.]
Hongling was lurking in the brothel to investigate the Xu family's affairs. Now that Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun have directly pulled the Xu family out, her mission is naturally completed.
Moreover, she has always admired Ye Xiaoxiao very much and has long wanted to work under her.
Now that she finally has this opportunity, she naturally doesn't want to miss it.
"Thank you for your concern, Hongling will remember this. I'm glad you're okay."
As soon as Hongling finished speaking, Shangguan Lingyun came directly to Ye Xiaoxiao, blocking their line of sight.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you want to do with this woman?"
She actually dared to attack Ye Xiaoxiao. Although she did not succeed, she touched Shangguan Lingyun's reverse scale.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Cuicui, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood, and her eyes gradually became cold.
"Death would be too easy for her. Since she likes men so much, just send her to a brothel."
When Xu Cuicui heard this, she was immediately frightened.
"Why, why do you treat me like this?"
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't bother to pay attention to her and looked directly at Hongling.
"Miss Hongling, please take Xu Cuicui to the madam and tell her to take good care of her."
Hongling naturally would not refuse Ye Xiaoxiao's order, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Madam. I'll leave it to Hongling."
"However, Madam, Hongling has an unwelcome request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Without waiting for Ye Xiaoxiao to speak, Shangguan Lingyun interrupted Hongling's next words.
"The Empress and I are going on a private visit incognito. We are afraid that it will be inconvenient if there are too many people. You are not allowed to follow us."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
Hong Ling: [Oh, oh, oh, Your Majesty is so annoying! I haven't even opened my mouth yet.]
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Hong Ling with amusement, and then looked at Shangguan Lingyun gently.
"I think Miss Hongling is quite good. Otherwise, we..."
Shangguan Lingyun could see through her little thoughts and refused directly and decisively.
"No, the carriage can't hold so many people, and she doesn't know martial arts, so she would be a burden if she were to be brought along."
Hong Ling: “…”
Seeing Shangguan Lingyun's insistence, Ye Xiaoxiao could only sigh.
"Hongling, His Majesty is right. You should stay."
"Besides, you are quite familiar with the affairs of Luancheng. The county magistrate will need your help when he arrives."
"I believe you don't want to see the people of Luancheng fall into trouble again, right?"
Hong Ling nodded helplessly, "Don't worry, Madam. Hong Ling will definitely not let you down."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled knowingly, and Hongling's pretty face actually blushed.
Ye Xiaoxiao felt that Hongling was very cute, but it was a pity that Shangguan Lingyun did not allow her to take her with her.
Reluctantly withdrawing his gaze, Lord Zhou had already controlled Xu Cuicui and was ready to escort her to the brothel at any time.
Seeing that everything was almost done, everyone set off again.
In the carriage, Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Shangguan Lingyun, whose face was not very good, and felt helpless.
"Hongling is a woman, why are you arguing with her?"
"By the way, is there a Lord Xing in the court?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded. Xing Bin, the prefect of Jingzhao, was the elder brother of Concubine Shu.
Ye Xiaoxiao became interested as soon as she heard it, and she suddenly remembered the banquet she had hosted for the harem.
She seemed to have heard that Concubine Shu already had a lover. Could it be that this matter was related to them as well?
"By the way, did Concubine Shu have a crush on someone before she entered the palace?"
Shangguan Lingyun had not paid attention to these things before, but since Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to reorganize the harem last time, he was afraid that Ye Xiaoxiao would have to work hard, so he specially asked Wang Xiao to check it out.
"Before entering the palace, this Concubine Shu had close ties with Li Si, the Minister of Justice."
When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately asked.
"Then does this Li Si have a younger sister who is also your father's concubine?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, "Li Si's sister is the Concubine Li who plotted against my husband."
When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, she suddenly understood, and at the same time she became more certain that the Xu family's backers were Li Si and Xing Bin.
"My dear, have Wang Xiao thoroughly investigate Li Si and Xing Bin. I suspect they are involved in what happened here."
Shangguan Lingyun didn't ask the reason and nodded directly.
Ye Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, "You don't even ask me why?"
[This guy, why doesn't he play by the rules? I already thought of how to trick him, er, no.]
[I had already thought of a reasonable explanation, but he didn't even ask.]
