Chapter 561 The Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where are your two children?"
Xiao Tang felt a sense of irony upon hearing this.
yes.
After all, this person only felt guilty towards her.
In terms of feelings, the woman who has been with Xiao Xian for so many years is the one he should favor.
She actually expected Xiao Xian to severely punish Madam Xiao, but it seems she was destined to be disappointed.
The near-death experience only resulted in the woman being confined to her room for three days to reflect on her actions.
Is this punishment even a punishment?
Xiao Tang scoffed, "Alright, if you have nothing else to say, please leave."
Anyway, there's nothing to look forward to with the Xiao family.
She took her daughter out.
Xiao Xian watched her retreating figure, feeling dejected.
Three days later.
Madam Xiao's punishment of being confined to her room to reflect on her mistakes has ended.
Of course, she behaved herself.
It's clear that something big is about to happen in the court.
Xiao Lengshuang rushed back early in the morning, "My God, I'm stunned, your man has sent troops to attack."
Xiao Tang looked up in confusion.
She asked hesitantly, "What?"
She suspected she had misheard.
"However, this time the troops sent to attack were General Yang, the situation is urgent!"
Xiao Lengshuang didn't seem to be in a hurry; she even seemed more like someone who enjoyed watching the drama unfold.
"A war?" Xiao Bao was the first to look up in surprise. "Has Daddy come to take us home?"
She held Xiao Tang's hand with her little hand, overjoyed.
"Can we go home now? Can we see our brother?"
really.
Xiao Lengshuang was not surprised. She hadn't seen the two boys for several days and guessed that they had been secretly taken back long ago.
She had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen, and sure enough, it did.
Xiao Tang's lips twitched.
The main villain is heading towards becoming a tyrant.
Didn't she tell him to wait for her to come back...?
Xiao Lengshuang suddenly thought of something, "Sixth sister, I think you should find a place to hide as soon as possible. I suspect that the emperor wants to use you as a bargaining chip against the Dasheng army."
"This won't do, this is too dangerous."
Xiao Lengshuang was shocked by the situation and couldn't calm down for a moment.
She got up, put her hands behind her back, and paced back and forth in the yard.
Xiao Bao's round eyes watched her walk back and forth, and his eyeballs rolled around.
Xiao Tang remained calm and was even able to drink tea and read books.
Xiao Lengshuang rushed over, "How can you be so calm?"
Xiao Tang glanced at her sideways, "Otherwise what? Why should I be in such a hurry? If Huangfu Cangyun really needs to send me to the military camp, isn't your older brother a commander who leads troops into battle?"
Xiao Lengshuang was taken aback.
Pouting.
She lowered her eyes. "You still believe in Xiao Yichen? Although he is our older brother, we have never gotten along."
"He wasn't that bad, was he?"
Xiao Tang felt that Xiao Yichen wasn't really that bad.
When the fire broke out that day, he even glanced at her, as if to make sure she wasn't injured.
Although... it's also possible that she was just being delusional.
Having one more brother is better than having one more enemy, right?
However, in terms of their positions, Xiao Yichen is ultimately loyal to Huangfu Cangyun, and is destined to be her adversary.
Xiao Tang was unsure of Xiao Yichen's attitude towards her.
Xiao Lengshuang pursed her red lips and muttered softly, "You have no idea how arrogant Xiao Yichen always acts, as if everyone owes him tens of thousands of taels of silver. If he were really that good, why would Sister Dujuan postpone this marriage?"
Xiao Tang looked at her indifferently, "Why does he insist on marrying Du Juan? There are so many women out there."
"Who knows? I find it strange too, Sister Dujuan. He doesn't like her, but he insists on marrying her."
Xiao Tang suddenly remembered what Xiao Yichen had said that day.
Should she persuade Dujuan to obediently marry him?
That's really interesting.
These two people.
A young maid rushed in from outside the courtyard, shouting, "Miss, something terrible has happened! People from the palace have arrived!"
Xiao Lengshuang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked at Xiao Tang.
Sure enough, she guessed right.
The maidservant glanced at Xiao Tang and hurriedly said, "The Emperor has issued an edict ordering the Sixth Miss to bring Xiao Bao into the palace."
"It's all over, it's all over, it's all over," Xiao Lengshuang thought to herself.
She looked at Xiao Tang, her eyes filled with deep worry.
This is clearly an attempt to use Xiao Tang as a bargaining chip.
Xiao Tang smiled reassuringly at Xiao Lengshuang: "It's alright, I can handle it by myself, don't worry."
"Mommy isn't alone, Mommy still has me!"
Xiao Tang picked up Xiao Bao and gave him a big kiss.
"My baby is still the best-behaved and most sensible one."
Xiao Bao danced and gesticulated excitedly in her arms.
She was so happy.
Because her mother praised her so much, she suddenly felt like a victorious champion.
Xiao Tang brought Xiao Bao into the palace, and Xiao Lengshuang was clearly extremely worried.
As soon as Xiao Tang entered the palace, she went to find Xiao Yiran.
"You must think of something! We absolutely cannot let our sixth sister take such a risk!"
Xiao Yiran looked helpless. "What am I supposed to do about this? Tell me?"
He even had a bit of a headache about it.
After all, it was the Emperor's decree; how could they possibly object?
Faced with Xiao Yiran's question, Xiao Lengshuang became even angrier, "You really don't know anything, Third Brother!"
"Hey, don't scold me. Even if I begged you, you definitely wouldn't listen to me."
"What kind of talk is that? Why should I listen to you when you're begging me?"
Xiao Yiran sighed, "What if we ask our older brother?"
Xiao Yichen was, after all, a favorite of the emperor.
If my elder brother were to plead with the Emperor on my behalf, perhaps things would turn out differently...
