The commotion was so loud that Emperor Jingxuan and the envoys from Northern Yan, who were discussing matters in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, also rushed over. Also coming with them were three princes - Xiao Duye, Xiao Shunyang, and Xiao Chonghua.

"General Li!"

An envoy exclaimed as he looked at the disheveled man lying on the ground.

The expressions of Emperor Jingxuan and Helian Ye both turned somewhat ugly.

This is the harem, and two men suddenly appear. No matter who they are, no matter if they are brothers or fighting, Emperor Jingxuan cannot be happy.

Similarly, Helian Ye felt a little embarrassed when his own men broke into someone else's harem.

Emperor Jingxuan's eyes swept over Su Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao.

Princess Hui'an grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Father, Qin Su came to the palace to change my medicine. She heard the noise after she finished changing it."

The implication is that Su Cheng’s affairs have nothing to do with Su Xiaoxiao.

Emperor Jingxuan said nothing. He pretended not to see Bai Xihe behind the flowers and asked Su Cheng, "Duke Huguo, what happened?"

Su Cheng glared at General Li who was being helped up by his colleagues, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I found a thief sneaking into the harem, so I came to arrest him. He refused to surrender, so I had to use force."

General Li's mouth was full of blood foam, and he shouted in pain: "You are talking nonsense! You clearly came up and beat me--"

"Shut up!" Helian Ye scolded his deputy general.

General Li shut up in dismay.

Helian Ye bowed to Emperor Jingxuan and said, "Your Majesty, I have failed in my management and allowed him to get drunk and accidentally enter the harem. I apologize to you here. This man has committed a serious mistake and I will never tolerate it. Please allow me to take him back to the posthouse and punish him severely!"

The Empress Dowager was offended. Although Emperor Jingxuan could have pointed out the crime and punished General Li, if the news got out, it would damage the reputation of the Empress Dowager, and it also affected the reputation of the royal family.

Emperor Jingxuan said majestically: "Since General Helian has spoken, this man will be handed over to General Helian for proper treatment."

Helian Ye bowed again to show his respect.

After all, this time, Beiyan was indeed in the wrong.

After leaving the palace, General Li was still a little indignant: "General, I am just..."

Helian Ye interrupted him coldly: "One hundred military sticks! After returning to Beiyan, you will be dismissed from your post!"

General Li was stunned at that time.

One hundred military sticks was not a big deal, as he was a military commander with thick skin and could withstand it, but dismissal was too harsh.

"Great General!"

He drank a few more cups at noon, and when he was drunk, he saw a beautiful woman from the harem walking by from outside the Qilin Palace. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and he rushed over in a rush.

"I didn't do anything, General!"

I just said a few...harmless words.

Helian Ye was more or less aware of the character of his deputy general, but he had never done anything too outrageous in the past.

He asked, "Do you know who that woman is?"

"Who is it?" General Li muttered.

Helian Ye said coldly: "The Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou!"

General Li was shocked! He thought she was just a new concubine in the palace because she was young and beautiful. But she turned out to be the Empress Dowager?

How could she be... so young? Bai Xihe was the successor of Emperor Jingyan. She was just thirteen when she married Emperor Jingyan. Now, nineteen years have passed, and she is only thirty-two.

Indeed, she did not look like a woman in her thirties. Time had left no trace on her face, and no one would doubt that she was in her early twenties.

General Li finally realized what a heinous crime he had committed.

Helian Ye said angrily: "If the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't want to make a big fuss, a hundred of your heads wouldn't be enough for him to chop off!"

General Li was completely speechless.

On the other side, Emperor Jingxuan met with the Empress Dowager.

"I'm sorry to have frightened the Empress Dowager." He said with a hint of guilt.

"I'm fine." Bai Xihe said lightly.

Some things should be left alone and not exposed. Emperor Jingxuan exchanged a few polite words with the Empress Dowager and then returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to continue entertaining the envoys.

Xiao Duye did not have a close relationship with the Empress Dowager. He would pay his respects to her during the holidays, and that was all. Seeing that his father did not pursue the matter, he did not take it to heart.

Xiao Chonghua showed concern for Su Cheng, and Su Cheng said that he was fine. Xiao Chonghua nodded and said, "Then I'll go first."

Xiao Shunyang stayed. He did not quite agree with what his father did today.

According to the law, the man surnamed Li offended the Empress Dowager and should be beheaded, but just beating him up was too light a punishment.

At the same time, he also felt a little regretful. Why wasn't he the one who discovered it?

He frowned, suppressed the thoughts in his heart and walked towards Bai Xihe: "Grand Empress Dowager..."

Bai Xihe said calmly: "I am tired and I have to go back to the palace."

Xiao Shunyang bowed and saw him off.

Bai Xihe led Xiao Yunzi and the others back to Zhaoyang Palace. When she passed by Su Cheng, she paused and said softly, "Thank you so much for today... Duke Protector of the Country."

"Dad, Dad, Dad!"

Su Cheng came back to his senses: "What?"

Su Xiaoxiao pointed ahead: "The person has gone far away."

Princess Hui'an was also called back by Concubine Xian, and only the father and daughter were left in the huge garden.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief, poured some hemostatic powder and smeared it on the corners of his father's mouth.

"Hiss—" Su Cheng gasped in pain, "Girl, be gentle, it hurts."

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes like Aunt Fu: "You feel the pain now? What were you doing before? She's the Grand Empress Dowager, is there any need for you to take action? Just reveal your identity and that Li guy will be scared to death!"

Su Cheng coughed lightly and said, "What if that guy takes advantage of her?"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "What does it have to do with you? Do you like her, or do you want to marry her?"

"I..." Su Cheng choked, took the handkerchief, and applied the medicine to himself, "What nonsense have you been saying all day? Madam Bai and I are innocent! I mean... the Empress Dowager!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

Su Cheng looked at his daughter: "What's with your expression? Don't you believe your father?!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I believe it - the question is, Dad, do you believe it yourself?"

Su Cheng said seriously: "How can you talk like that? After you got married, you no longer have your father in your heart, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "Is it because Dad doesn't care about me anymore? Dad never treated me harshly before."

Su Cheng was stunned and said awkwardly: "Did I... was I mean to you just now?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked resentful: "What do you think?"

"Ah...that..." Su Cheng scratched his head.

"A man in love, huh!" Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and walked away without looking back!

…

When I got home, Wei Ting had not returned yet. It seemed that the negotiations with the envoys today were very intense. No wonder Emperor Jingxuan had no intention of dealing with Bai Xihe's affairs. He must have been too overwhelmed by government affairs.

She went to the courtyard of Old Lady Wei.

Old Madam Wei was fiddling with her thing, and when she saw her coming, she calmly pulled the cotton cloth over her.

Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Grandma? Why are you so secretive?"

"No." Old Lady Wei played dumb.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Brother, will you come over for dinner later?"

Old Lady Wei sighed, "He didn't come. He said he was tired and wanted to sleep for a while. He didn't even go to his mother's place yet."

This is obviously an excuse.

Su Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Grandma, there is something... I think it is necessary to tell you that my eldest brother has not recovered his memory."

Old Lady Wei sighed and said, "I know."

"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion.

Old Lady Wei said, "Since he entered the mansion, he didn't ask Feng'er a single question, so I knew he didn't remember anything from the past."

Chu Feifeng is my eldest sister-in-law’s name.

Old Madam Wei patted the stool beside her and motioned Su Xiaoxiao to sit down.

After Su Xiaoxiao sat down, Old Lady Wei continued, "Feng'er married into the Wei family at the age of fifteen and has been married to him for eight years. They have always had a good relationship. Feng'er was once pregnant, but unfortunately she lost the pregnancy and injured her body. She could no longer have children. Feng'er proposed to take a concubine for him, but he said, 'I have six younger brothers. The Wei family's incense does not need to rely on me to pass on.'"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "So you know everything."

Su Xiaoxiao thought that Old Lady Wei would say next - as long as he comes back, no matter what his purpose is, one day, he will remember.

Unexpectedly, Old Lady Wei suddenly changed her mood, snorted, and slammed the table, saying, "Just bring him back. Does he think he can get away?"

Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched: "Uh... you're not going to use the self-torture tactic again, are you?"

Old Lady Wei glared at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person, your grandmother?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked doubtful: "Then you asked me for Hedinghong last time..."

Old Lady Wei said calmly, "The red jellyfish is for Xiaoliu! If he doesn't come back, I will clean up the mess!"

Su Xiaoxiao almost believed it: "How do you plan to keep Big Brother?"

Old Lady Wei stood up, as if she had an army of thousands, and said in a mighty and domineering manner: "Tie him up! Drug him! If that doesn't work, break his legs! I don't care if he remembers who he is, anyway, he is a member of the Wei family in life, and he will be the soul of the Wei family in death!"

A quarter of an hour later, Old Lady Wei appeared at the door of the haunted house in a disheveled state.

In one hand she held the swaddling clothes that Wei Liulang wore when he was born, and in the other hand she shook the rattle that Wei Dalang had played with when he was a child, and sang the sad little song she had learned from Xiaohu.

"Little cabbage~ the fields are yellow~ three or two years old... thirty years old... sixty-three years old... no grandchildren..."

Ghostly: “…”

The old lady said she must act, I couldn't stop her 23333 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
