Two hours later.
The fifth nephew returned to the palace with the imperial guards.
There is still some snow on the ground.
Some have turned into water.
The second nephew had already handed Jing Qiaoqiao to his niece Zhuzhu, who held her and walked to Mu Qingran's side.
"Don't do anything stupid. The old emperor sent gifts, which means he is afraid and wants to reconcile."
Mu Qingran teased her niece, "Stupid pig, you're much smarter than usual."
"It's so rare for you to praise me for being smart." The piggy niece scratched her hair and stared into Mu Qingran's eyes. "I'm very happy that you can rank our General's Mansion first."
"Oh." Mu Qingran replied calmly, "And then?"
"Hey, don't push your luck. Last time I saved my second sister, I promised to listen to you for a year. What else do you want?" The piggy niece looked at Mu Qingran with a puffy face.
Mu Qingran put her finger on her stomach and said, "I'm hungry."
The piggy niece was a little helpless: "I made it, and even dogs wouldn't eat it. That's what my brother said."
"You're a dog." Mu Qingran said, stepping over the threshold, "Let's go out and eat."
After a few days, the snow stopped.
But the snow that had been falling for days covered the entire imperial city.
The glazed tiles were all white.
The General's Mansion is still under renovation.
No one knows when it will be repaired.
But when the second nephew was carrying Jing Qiaoqiao from Dongning Courtyard to the inn, he mentioned, "The General's Mansion was too simple before. This time, let the third brother build more mechanisms."
"I thought so too. If the general's mansion is made more solid, no thieves will break in for no reason." Jing Shengtian said to his family.
When talking about those familiar things, my third nephew is proud.
There is no sign of the inferiority complex of the past.
This makes Jing Qiaoqiao happy.
After all, in the general's mansion, the third nephew is the only one who was plotted against because of his dream.
Now he stands at the top of the pyramid.
In his line, he shines.
No one can torture him at will.
"Actually, we don't need to overthink it. The old emperor's intention to kill our family is clear. Giving gifts to the baby is his unique way of asking for forgiveness."
"How could the king allow someone from our general's mansion to live? So even if we forgive them now, it's not true forgiveness, but rather a moment of fear."
So sometimes we need to resist.
[Of course, if we fail to assassinate His Majesty, even if we can escape, our reputation for loyalty and righteousness will be ruined.]
[My father died fighting for the Mingyao Nation. This loyalty must not be destroyed in our hands.]
So, in this predicament of being attacked from all sides and stuck between a rock and a hard place, we can only wait a little longer, until the dog emperor dies.
Everyone in the room had gloomy and pale faces.
His eyes were filled with panic and fear.
In fact, they were all wondering how Qiaoqiao knew when and where the old emperor would die?
Judging from the current situation, the old emperor is obviously in good health.
After a few days, the situation suddenly changed.
At midnight, the eunuch from the palace came to deliver a message.
It is said that His Majesty wants to see Jing Qiaoqiao.
No one else was seen, only Jing Qiaoqiao.
The sister-in-law naturally handed Jing Qiaoqiao over to Lu Xiaojia.
But when passing the palace gate, my fifth nephew brought another bag of candy when Lu Xiaojia got off the carriage.
This time Lu Xiaojia confiscated it.
"Commander Jing, I'm old and my teeth aren't sharp anymore. But I'm very happy to be able to eat the candy you gave me before I die."
[How could you possibly die? Even if the old emperor died, you wouldn't die.]
【You are very lucky. 】
The fifth nephew took Lu Xiaojia's hand and put the high-quality candy into Lu Xiaojia's palm.
"Don't worry, Eunuch Lu, you still have a long life ahead of you. When you came to the General's Mansion before, my aunt told you a fortune."
Lu Xiaojia's eyes shone like gems.
He was probably a little surprised and his brows were furrowed.
"Can our family...can our family still survive?"
"Eunuch Lu, don't you believe the fortune my aunt told you?"
Lu Xiaojia held the whisk.
The sadness on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by joy in his eyes.
When he entered the palace, he seemed to walk with more energy than before.
After walking a few steps, he returned holding the whisk and whispered, "Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow I will go to Qiaoqiao Temple to pay homage. Your aunt also likes the longevity lock."
Fifth nephew: Do you need to ask? I know you like candy.
"What do you think?"
Following the gaze of his fifth nephew, he looked at Jing Qiaoqiao's neck which was hung with golden longevity locks.
Sure enough, it’s still my old preference.
Lu Xiaojia carried Jing Qiaoqiao into the hall.
The old emperor lay on the dragon bed with his eyes closed, his face pale and his eyebrows dark.
Concubine Yue and a group of concubines stood by.
Hearing the palace door open, Lu Xiaojia came over holding Jing Qiaoqiao.
Concubine Yue took the lead and said, "Quick, place Princess Qiaoqiao on the altar."
She was not restrained either. She took the lead and knelt on the Buddhist altar, bowing to Jing Qiaoqiao.
"Little Fairy Qiaoqiao, Your Majesty is ill and the imperial doctors are helpless. Please give me some medicine."
After hearing this shout, the concubines kneeling behind him all bowed deeply to Jing Qiaoqiao.
Jing Qiaoqiao felt that if she sat there without any reaction, the concubines might doubt her identity.
After thinking it over, he simply raised his chubby hand and pushed the plate off the altar.
A clang sounded in the room where you could hear a pin drop.
All the concubines, led by Concubine Yue, were disappointed.
The pretty little fairy didn't give the medicine quickly, but pushed the plate over.
