Xiao Tianci raised his foot and was about to kick him. Wu Youshu was so frightened that he quickly put his hand up to block it and begged for mercy loudly: "I dare not, I dare not, I will confess the truth and I won't play tricks."
He knew Xiao Tianci's temper, and it was possible that Xiao Tianci would kick him to death in the court.
Xiao Tianci snorted angrily and retracted his foot. "Xiao Deng, take him away, and then go to the Meng Mansion to invite Meng Gaoyang in."
"yes!"
Xiao Tianci followed the instructions and rushed to Old Man Xiao's yard. When he arrived at the gate, he ran into Shangguan Lan and Shangguan Jinnian, who were coming out of the house with the three children of the Su family.
"Great-grandfather, you are here. We are just about to return to Youhuangyuan."
The three little ones of the Su family hurried over.
"Your mother has also returned to Youhuang Courtyard to rest. When you go back, please don't disturb her."
Xiao Xier blinked, "We are all good children and will never disturb mother's rest. Great-grandfather, we will go back first."
"Go ahead."
At this time, Shangguan Lan finished talking to Old Madam Xiao and Liang, and pulled Shangguan Jinnian over.
Xiao Tianci subconsciously wanted to salute, but stopped himself in time. The other person's identity had not been made public yet, so he just pretended not to know.
"Mrs. Lan, are you and your son used to living in the mansion these days?"
Shangguan Lan smiled and said, "It's not a question of getting used to it or not. Your Xiao family is very hospitable, and my mother and I are very comfortable living here. Xiaowu's full moon banquet is coming, and his great-grandfather will be here too, so we'll inevitably be bothering him for quite some time."
Shangguan Mochen is coming? !
Xiao Tianci felt a little nervous but also a little expectant. "Just be happy living here. It's rare for our Xiao family to be so lively."
"It's getting late. I'm taking the children back to Youhuangyuan."
Xiao Tianci respectfully watched Shangguan Lan and his group leave, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
So what if the Emperor took back the military power of their Xiao family? Their Xiao family is still an unshakable family.
Next, we must raise our descendants well!
"My Lord, what are you still doing standing outside? Come in quickly."
Xiao Tianci came to his senses and hurried into the room.
"Madam, Second Brother's wife, it was Concubine Cui who poisoned our Yu'er."
When Xiao Tianci saw Madam Xiao, Liang's expression was indifferent, "You know?"
Liang nodded. "The children just told us mother and me that Cui Wan won't get away with it this time. She'll be skinned alive, if not killed. The Queen Mother won't let her go!"
"The Emperor simply banished her and the young prince to the cold palace. She persecuted your sister-in-law, and the Emperor wants to lightly cover it up to save Cui Wan. Our Xiao family won't agree!"
"My...sister-in-law was killed by Cui Wan, didn't she die of illness?" Liang was a little bit unbelievable.
Old Mrs. Xiao was so shocked that her presbyopic eyes widened. "Is this true? Was the old man's family killed by Cui Wan?"
"It's absolutely true. Yu'er only learned about this after running into Wu Youshu in Huayang County. Cui Wan did this because she didn't want Feng Jinyu to get married and be crowned the crown prince..."

Su Xing intended to go to a small courtyard with two entrances on the outskirts of the city after Feng Jinyu brought Qingxu and his daughter into the palace.
"Your Highness, Lin Fang and the eunuch driving the carriage are in this courtyard."
Su Xingyi got off the carriage, looked around, and followed Nie Ying into the yard.
Since Lin Fang was captured and brought here, she has not been able to eat or sleep well these days, and has become noticeably thinner.
She had never seen the person guarding him, and didn't know who wanted to arrest him.
A few days ago, I heard soldiers knocking on doors outside looking for someone.
Lin Fang knew that it was the Queen Mother who sent someone to look for her.
She wanted to call for help, but her captors didn't give her a chance.
They sealed her mouth and locked her in a secret room. She could only hear the officers and soldiers coming in to search, but when they found nothing, they turned around and left. The officers and soldiers never came back to search!
Lin Fang didn't know who kidnapped her. She thought these people were against the empress dowager and wanted to get something out of her.
However, she also had some guesses about who kidnapped her.
It is very likely related to Prince Shun.
But she had never seen the person guarding her before.
He was not sure whether it was Prince Shun, so he lived in anxiety every day.
The sound of a door opening was heard outside, and Lin Fang subconsciously sat up straight.
Soon the door was opened and the secret guard Nie Shiwu walked in. "Lin Fang, my master wants to see you. Come with me."
"Who is your master?"
"You'll see him soon. My master is very easy to talk to. Just answer whatever he asks honestly. Oh, and by the way, I heard that your Lin family has a child who can read..."
"You...what do you want to do?" Lin Fang said anxiously, "He's still a child, don't mess around."
Nie Shiwu hurriedly tried to appease him, "We didn't do anything, why are you so anxious? As long as you tell the truth, nothing will happen. Let's go, my master can't wait."
Su Xingyi sat upright in the hall, with a scroll and a small bronze mirror on the table beside him.
Su Xing noticed that the person was taking a long time to arrive, so he picked up the small bronze mirror on the table and looked at himself carefully.
"Nie Ying, I'm not wearing any makeup today. Can Lin Fang tell at a glance that I look like my mother?"
"Your Highness, I can't say for sure. Lin Fang came to Huayang County with Fu Xuan to pick you and the princess up. At that time, she saw Your Highness up close, but didn't recognize you at first glance. She just thought you looked familiar. During those days at the Grand Prince's Mansion, she also saw the Emperor up close, so she should be able to tell that you resemble Empress Fu'an."
Nie Ying glanced at the scroll on the table. "If she really can't remember, the portrait of Empress Fu'an will help her remember."
Su Xingyi nodded and continued to stare at himself in the bronze mirror.
He himself is indeed good-looking.
"Your Majesty, Lin Fang is here."
Su Xingyi put down the bronze mirror, looked towards the door and met Lin Fang's eyes.
