Empress Dowager Jiang found it hard to believe. After all, she and Concubine Luo had worked together for many years. They entered the palace at almost the same time. Although they didn't have a very good relationship, they understood each other.
"Impossible?"
She couldn't help but say doubtfully, "Although Concubine Luo... she shouldn't be able to do such a thing. After all, the Emperor is her only support now."
Queen Mother Jiang wanted to say that although Concubine Luo was not a good person.
However, thinking that Emperor Chengxuan had always regarded Concubine Luo as his savior, she swallowed the words back.
"Grandmother, that's because Concubine Luo, who wanted to kill Dad, was an imposter!"
Soon, Xiao Shuangbao woke the dreamer up with a word.
"What? Who is so bold? How dare they impersonate the Concubine?"
When Queen Mother Jiang heard this, she was even more shocked.
"Her name is Bai Luowan!"
Xiao Shuangbao immediately told everyone what had happened.
Queen Mother Jiang was surprised the whole time, and her mouth was almost open in shock!
"I didn't expect that Bai Luowan would be so bold as to kill the imperial concubine and impersonate her. He has been lurking in the palace all this time..."
After she finished listening, she was confused and uncertain, "But I still have a few questions.
"First, if her goal was to kill the emperor, why didn't she do it sooner? Why did she have to wait until her identity was exposed before doing it?
"Secondly, since Shuangbao has captured Concubine Luo's ghost, why is she so unwilling to tell Shuangbao how she was killed? Doesn't this increase Shuangbao's difficulties and put the Emperor in danger?"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Emperor Cheng Xuan lightly.
Emperor Chengxuan naturally understood that the empress dowager's words had a hidden meaning.
If Concubine Luo really had feelings for him, such an important matter should have been told to Shuangbao earlier so that Emperor Chengxuan could be on guard against this fake Concubine Luo.
But Concubine Luo did not say it for some reason, which shows that she did not care too much about the safety of Emperor Chengxuan.
However, Emperor Chengxuan was suspicious that the Queen Mother's words seemed to have other hidden meanings...
"Bai Luowan works for the royal family of Southern Yan. Killing me is just one of her goals."
At this time, Emperor Cheng Xuan first answered the Queen Mother's question, "Since Su Liao died in battle, she came to Dongqi State, killed Concubine Luo and pretended to be the Queen Mother. The first thing she did was to implant the Chaos Demon into Aunt Shuangbao's mansion, hoping to use the demon to pollute the bloodline of the God of War Mansion, and also wanted to kill Shuangbao by borrowing a knife.
"Secondly, she teamed up with Yun Wuchen, who also came from the Xuanmen Sect, to kill many people in the palace and collect their souls. Her goal was to cultivate a ghost king and cause chaos in the royal family of Dongqi.
"Third, the Southern Yan royal family is divided. Their faction of the Queen and the faction of Prince Qi are in conflict and fighting for power. The Queen's only son, Zhongli Yu, is being held hostage in the palace of our Eastern Qi Kingdom. Bai Luowan works for Prince Qi and wants to kill Zhongli Yu to end the Queen's faction's hope.
"The fourth is to kill me.
“It’s a pity that she failed in all four of these things.
"The Chaos Demon recognized Shuang Bao as its master. The Ghost King was subdued by Shuang Bao. Zhong Liyu was saved by Shuang Bao several times. Even Bai Luowan's only partner, Yun Wuchen, betrayed her and ran away early. Even I, was protected by Shuang Bao and was not hurt at all by Bai Luowan.
"It can be said that if Shuangbao hadn't been here, Bai Luowan's goals might have already been achieved."
Queen Mother Jiang was horrified when she heard this.
"I never thought that so many things would happen in the palace while I was away!"
She couldn't help but think.
If she had not left the palace to practice in a temple, the person Bai Luowan would have killed and impersonated would not have been Concubine Luo, but her.
After all, as the queen mother, she can do more with her status.
"It's a good thing Shuangbao is here!"
Queen Mother Jiang couldn't help but hug the little baby in her arms, "If it weren't for Shuangbao, if the emperor had just said what Bai Luowan wanted, I'm afraid the palace would have been a river of blood by now!"
"Indeed."
Emperor Cheng Xuan deeply agreed with this, "So, I have always felt that Shuangbao is a lucky star sent to me by God!"
"Well, he is indeed a little lucky star!"
Queen Mother Jiang pinched Shuangbao's soft little face and said with a smile, "Shuangbao has made so many contributions to our Dongqi Kingdom. Has the Emperor rewarded her well?"
"This... I haven't had time yet."
When talking about this, Emperor Cheng Xuan slapped his forehead and realized that he had forgotten to reward Xiao Shuangbao.
Queen Mother Jiang immediately gave Emperor Chengxuan a reproachful look.
"The emperor is too careless!"
She then looked at Little Shuangbao kindly, her tone carrying a rare gentleness, and said, "Is there any reward that Shuangbao desires? Feel free to ask. If the Emperor cannot satisfy you, I will do my best to satisfy you!"
"Really, Grandmother?"
When Xiao Shuangbao heard this, his eyes suddenly sparkled.
As soon as Emperor Cheng Xuan saw her eyes, he immediately felt that something was wrong!
"Grandmother, Shuangbao wants to have one more candy every day, is that okay?"
Little Shuangbao clasped his two little hands together and looked at Queen Mother Jiang with anticipation.
Emperor Cheng Xuan immediately held his forehead helplessly!
really!
The little baby has been addicted to sweets lately.
He was worried that her teeth would be damaged if she ate too much, so he restricted her...
She appears to be well-behaved and obedient on the surface, but it turns out that she is secretly thinking about eating candy every day!
Queen Mother Jiang was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Shuangbao's big, round, clear, black eyes!
After a while, she suddenly burst into laughter!
On the side, the palace maids who had served Queen Mother Jiang for decades were all shocked when they saw this scene!
You know, Queen Mother Jiang is a very rule-abiding and serious person.
She always paid attention to her appearance and never allowed herself to laugh so heartily!
But now, she was so amused by Xiao Shuangbao's words that she couldn't control her demeanor and laughed like this!
Little Shuangbao didn't understand why the Queen Mother was laughing. His little head tilted from side to side, looking very innocent and cute.
Her little appearance made the Queen Mother even happier.
Queen Mother Jiang was really touched by the cuteness of the little baby!
"You silly child! Should I say you have a pure heart and are innocent, or should I say you are a cute little fool?"
She couldn't help but fondly tapped Shuangbao's delicate little nose, and said with a smile, "The merits you have achieved would be enough for anyone in Dongqi to be granted territory and honored in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
"You just want one more candy a day!"
As the Queen Mother spoke, she couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
On the side, Emperor Cheng Xuan and others were also moved and couldn't help laughing.
Only Little Shuangbao scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face. He said in confusion, "Yeah, just eat one more candy a day!"
These words immediately made Queen Mother Jiang laugh even louder!
