Chapter 248: Cutting the roots will eliminate future troubles
Emperor Defeng slammed his palm on the table, and the air pressure around him was frighteningly cold.
"You bastard! I shouldn't have spared his life last time!"
After a fierce outburst of anger, Emperor Defeng said with a sullen face, "Send these things to Kunning Palace!"
Feng Youcai bowed and left.
The Sun family's repeated actions have completely angered Emperor Defeng and have also worn away his affection for Empress Sun.
If Empress Sun could not make a decision, the last bit of affection between Emperor Defeng and her would be exhausted.
Empress Sun did not know about Xiao Baozhu's accident.
After the last incident at the Sun family, her health deteriorated day by day and she has been bedridden ever since. Her confidante, the nanny, did not dare to tell her about this.
Until today, Feng Youcai personally delivered those letters. After reading them, Empress Sun almost fainted on the spot. Even though she was holding on to her breath, her face turned extremely pale.
"How dare he? How dare he!"
Nanny Wu supported Empress Sun tightly, her face full of worry and heartache.
"My lady, please take care of yourself and don't get yourself upset."
Empress Sun's lips were trembling, and a heavy aura of death hung around her.
"For so many years, I've always put the Sun family first, but in the end, everything is a joke. They never took me seriously at all!"
If they had any respect for me, they would not have hurt Baozhu again and again.
The emperor asked Feng Youcai to deliver this thing, which also shows the emperor's attitude.
It's time to make a decision.
The confiscation of the Jiang family's property caused an uproar in Beijing. Everyone speculated on the reason why the Jiang family suffered such a disaster, but they had no clue.
When Lu Zhiran learned about this, many speculations flashed through his mind.
Could it be that Jiang Nansheng was framed and something happened?
Lu Zhiran entered the palace and went to look for Xiao Baozhu with Ye Hanyi. Only then did they learn the truth from her. Both of them were so angry that their faces changed drastically.
Ye Hanyi cursed, "Why didn't the tiger bite that beast to death? If I had known earlier, I should have finished him off with one more blow."
Xiao Baozhu was still frightened when she thought of what happened that night, but she did not show it in front of them. Instead, she looked relaxed.
"Don't worry, that guy died miserably. I hacked him to death one by one. He was tortured a lot before his death and was even castrated."
Lu Zhiran and Ye Hanyi both widened their eyes and looked at Xiao Baozhu in disbelief.
"You castrated him yourself?"
I didn't expect that Baozhu is such a tough guy.
Xiao Baozhu shook her head, "It's not me, it's Sun Muzhi."
Thinking of the way he swung his knife, Xiao Baozhu felt a little scared, but also very happy.
Ye Hanyi's eyes lit up a little, "Sun Muzhi is good, he's a real man."
Lu Zhiran seemed to be thinking about something. "Come to think of it, it was Sun Muzhi who saved you both times. You two must have a connection."
When Xiao Baozhu was a child, she often helped Sun Muzhi. Now he protects Xiao Baozhu's safety in return. If you think about it carefully, the two of them are indeed very compatible.
A hint of discomfort flashed across Xiao Baozhu's face.
"It was just a coincidence."
Lu Zhiran raised an eyebrow, "Why don't other people have such a coincidence?"
The strange feeling in Xiao Baozhu's heart became even stronger.
Fortunately, at this time, Ye Hanyi noticed that there were a lot of books piled on her desk and changed the subject.
"Are you so studious? Have you been reading these days? Medical books, even?"
Xiao Baozhu shook her head. "No, this is Ah Sheng's handwritten note. Sun Muzhi copied it from the Jiang family."
Xiao Baozhu was also surprised. She didn't expect Sun Muzhi to take the initiative to sort out Jiang Nansheng's letters and ask someone to send them to her.
Seeing these precious letters, Xiao Baozhu didn't know how to describe her feelings.
This incident was caused by Jiang Zelin, but it is also closely related to myself.
If Ah Sheng came back and found that the Jiang family had been raided and their huge fortune was destroyed, would he blame himself?
Lu Zhiran saw through her thoughts and spoke in a comforting voice, "Baozhu, Young Master Jiang and you grew up together and have a special bond. She certainly wouldn't take her anger out on you because of someone else. If she really did, you don't have to be sad, because she doesn't deserve it."
Xiao Baozhu still frowned, "But she can never return to the capital."
Lu Zhiran raised an eyebrow, "Why not? As long as she wants to come back, she can come back naturally."
"The Emperor ordered the exile of all members of the Jiang family. Since she is the sixth son of the Jiang family, she is naturally not immune."
Lu Zhiran looked at her with a half-smile, "Is she?"
When Xiao Baozhu met her gaze, his expression paused.
What did she mean by this? Did she know something?
"I believe that everything depends on human effort and the situation is changing rapidly. This is the case now, but who can predict what will happen in the future?"
A thought flashed through Xiao Baozhu's mind.
Ye Hanyi looked at the two of them and always felt that they were talking in charades.
She was really curious about who this Jiang Nansheng was.
Ye Hanyi opened his mouth to ask, and Xiao Baozhu knew everything about him, and her expression did not hide her affection for him at all. Ye Hanyi was almost jealous.
As they were chatting and laughing, a palace maid came to report that the Empress had arrived. The laughter of several people stopped immediately, and a hint of restraint appeared on Xiao Baozhu's face.
Empress Sun applied thick makeup, but it still couldn't hide the old and haggard look on her face.
When Lu Zhiran saw this, she couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.
Empress Sun became increasingly thinner. If this continued, she would probably not live long.
When Xiao Baozhu saw her mother like this, ripples arose in her heart.
These days, her mother had exempted her from paying her respects, and she didn't want to be tactless and move forward, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for both of them.
Unexpectedly, my mother lost so much weight in such a short period of time.
Lu Zhiran and Ye Hanyi both stood up and tactfully excused themselves, leaving the space to the mother and daughter.
Empress Sun's gaze fell on Xiao Baozhu, and a trace of heartache appeared in her eyes.
"I've lost a lot of weight."
At the same time, Xiao Baozhu also spoke up, "The Queen Mother has become much thinner recently."
They were both stunned at the same time.
Empress Sun smiled slightly. "Mother's health has always been like this. But you, on the other hand, all the flesh on your face is gone."
Xiao Baozhu also laughed, "Didn't Mother say that thinness is the most beautiful thing for a woman? I was too fat before, but now I'm just right."
Empress Sun said softly, "You were fine in the past. It was Mother who was not good."
Her voice was too soft for Xiao Baozhu to hear clearly, but Empress Sun changed the subject.
"The Queen Mother just found out about that incident. You've suffered."
Xiao Baozhu's heart trembled, and a strange emotion flowed in her heart.
Is the Queen Mother feeling sorry for herself?
Xiao Baozhu didn't dare to hope for anything, fearing that she was overthinking it.
"I blame myself. I shouldn't have wandered around outside the palace all day, and I shouldn't have trusted others so easily."
Empress Sun felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
This is what I always said to her.
Whenever something happens, I always subconsciously blame Baozhu for being careless.
Now, when Baozhu said this herself, Empress Sun felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
"It was someone else's deliberate plot. Even if you escaped this time, it's hard to prevent it from happening again. Only by eradicating the root of the problem can we prevent future troubles."
When she said this, there was a fierce flash in her eyes.
That was an emotion Xiao Baozhu had never seen on her face before.
