Xiao Cheng also didn't understand, "Dad, why do you want to beat your mother? We do it for the sake of our Xiao family!"
Mr. Xiao felt helpless looking at such a stupid son.
Thinking of what Xiao Cheng had ruined last time, he kicked Xiao Cheng in the butt.
Mrs. Xiao quit. She just wanted to be beaten. Now even her son has been kicked. "Xiao Hongzhuo, if you don't like us two, you should have said it earlier. If you want me to give up my position to that little bitch, there is no need." If you have nothing to do, Cheng'er and I will leave the Xiao family immediately."
Mrs. Xiao is getting older and has lost her beauty. Mr. Xiao has taken in several young and beautiful concubines.
One of them is particularly beautiful, but also a bit domineering.
Mrs. Xiao had already rectified the situation secretly, but now that Mr. Xiao was so angry, Mrs. Xiao thought he was here to avenge his concubine.
Xiao Cheng also felt very aggrieved, "Mom, I'll go with you. Let's leave the Xiao family together. When the time comes, we can also go to the palace to find the eldest sister and let her make the decision for us."
Mrs. Xiao is indeed not afraid of Mr. Xiao, even the people he cares about are dealt with the same way, just because she has a daughter who is a noble concubine.
Mr. Xiao's head hurt even more when he saw the performance of the two mothers.
"Shut up, you idiot, do you think your little tricks can solve the problem?
The reputation of the Shen family is not good to begin with. Who doesn't know that among the female family members in the back house? Do you have the right to make others look bad at Si Miaolan's hairpin ceremony? "
Mr. Xiao's face turned red with anger, "What's the use of your little back-house tricks?"
"Why not? Mrs. Shen was humiliated, and Si Miaolan was also laughed at. I can't say how many people are laughing at Si Miaolan now. I am doing this for the good of the noble concubine and the second prince!" Mrs. Xiao was still very proud of herself. The strategy of killing two birds with one stone.
"Confused!"
Master Xiao looked at Mrs. Xiao's smug expression and his son's confused look, and knew that unless he explained clearly, these two people would probably make some stupid moves.
Hey, they all say that a son is like his mother, so if you want a wife, you really can’t find someone who has no brains.
"Si Miaolan is an idiot. Wouldn't that be better? She is the future crown princess, and she has Prince Huo Huo's backyard, so that the second prince can have a chance!"
"Do you think that Si Miaolan's reputation is so good because it is inherited from the Si family? Without my work, her reputation would be so famous?"
"Dad, why are you helping the Si family and the prince?"
Master Xiao kicked Xiao Cheng in the butt again, "You idiot, am I helping the prince? I am helping the second prince."
Mrs. Xiao's face was not good either. She also thought about it. Indeed, marrying a troublemaker would really make a daughter-in-law happy for three generations.
Si Miaolan is so jealous. If she enters the prince's backyard, there's no telling whether the prince will have a child!
"Master, what should we do now? Can the royal family really get rid of this daughter-in-law?"
Mr. Xiao didn't know, "Anyway, don't look for trouble, just be honest!"
After Mr. Xiao finished scolding people, he left in a hurry.
He wanted to discuss with his staff what to do in the best interests of the imperial concubine and the second prince.
When Xiao Cheng saw Mr. Xiao leaving, he asked, "Mom, do you still count on the conditions you agreed to to the Sun family?"
Mrs. Xiao messed up and was not happy at all.
"Cheng'er, Mrs. Dou can't stay here. Find someone to get rid of her!"
"Mom, what about it?"
Mrs. Xiao narrowed her eyes, "That old woman is not a good troublemaker. If we don't solve the problem, she will definitely come to our house."
"Yes, mother, I'm going to find someone right now."
Xiao Cheng also left the main courtyard in a hurry.
Mrs. Xiao was very annoyed when she thought that her strategy was scolded by her husband for being useless in the end.
At this time, inside the palace.
The emperor threw the tea cup directly to the ground and looked at Qiao Shan who was kneeling on the ground with red eyes.
"What did you say? The golden elixir is poisonous?"
The emperor asked word for word, obviously very angry.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true."
The emperor stood up from the dragon chair, walked down, and looked at Qiao Shan who was kneeling on the ground.
He walked around Qiao Shan a few times and asked casually: "Qiao Shan, have you been out for a long time and forgotten who you belong to?"
Qiao Shan kowtowed hurriedly, "Your Majesty, your subordinates have always been the Emperor's people. This is the file investigated by your subordinates. Please ask the Emperor to review it."
The emperor did not take it, but asked the eunuch Feng Bao to take it.
After Feng Bao took it and checked that it was not poisonous, he handed it over to the emperor.
The emperor carefully read the information on it, his face became uglier as he read it, and finally he threw it directly on the table.
"Qiao Shan, when did you know that there was something wrong with the elixir?"
Qiao Shan kowtowed again and then said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates don't know whether the golden elixir the emperor took is poisonous, but Mrs. Hou said that general elixirs are poisonous. Taoism pays attention to the principle of the five elements mutually reinforcing each other. When making elixirs, metals and other minerals are added, as well as lead, mercury and other things. If taken for a long time, it will be harmful to the body and form toxins over time."
Qiao Shan answered cautiously, fearing that the emperor would kill him if he was unhappy.
He took out the lead and mercury that he said he wanted to deal with from his arms and placed it directly on the ground of the hall.
"Your Majesty, these two things are lead and mercury."
The emperor's curiosity overcame his anger at this time. He looked carefully at the silver lump on the ground and said, "This looks like silver."
Qiao Shan nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, but Madam Hou said this thing is poisonous and should not be touched easily."
"Qiao Shan, how come Master Shen knows about the elixir?"
The emperor was suspicious. He knew that Shen Fei could grow high-yielding grains and thought she was a lucky star.
But it would be terrible if this person knew such a secret thing as taking the elixir.
Qiao Shan remembered that Shen Fei mentioned that the royal family's suicide behavior included taking elixirs to seek immortality. He also wiped his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Hou doesn't know that you are taking elixirs. We went to Baohua Temple." After burning incense, when I came back, I saw Xiaoyun Temple, and Madam Hou mentioned the matter of Taoist alchemy."
When the emperor heard that this was the reason, his expression relaxed, "In other words, you are not convinced that all my pills are poisonous."
Qiao Shan: "......"
The emperor has said so, what else can Qiao Shan say.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed a problem with Xiaoyunguan. My subordinates discovered that Xiaoyunguan raises a lot of money every year in the name of donating merit, but the money is not in Xiaoyunguan, and Xiaoyunguan and several people in the court A minister is also involved."
The emperor's face darkened, "Those ministers, please arrange for someone to send them in and keep a close eye on them."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
