The Imperial Concubine is A Little Sweet

Chapter 9

He remembered that June of that year, when he was ordered to sweep away the pirates in the border area, unexpectedly, those treacherous people made a separation, causing the Emperor to misunderstand that he had betrayed the country.

Because the news was blocked, he was temporarily trapped, thinking that he was about to die.

He didn' t expect the Emperor to believe him and send someone to secretly save him.

Back then, how could he not believe it now? He sighed.

At this moment, Xiao Ling Ran walked in and bowed to father. He saw father holding a memorial in his hand, lost in thought.

Thus, he said," father, in fact, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that the meaning of the Governor of the East Factory is somewhat reasonable."

Seeing that father was listening, he continued," No one can match our family's contribution to the emperor's work, and the official position has already been granted to no one. Since ancient times, those who have made great contributions to the emperor are easy to cause jealousy and speculation. However, in order to protect their official position and interests, the officials couldn' t help but unite and impeach father. "How many years has it been?"

As the two of them spoke, a young man with snow white skin, handsome appearance, and a trace of heroic spirit appeared between his brows.

It looked a little similar to Xiao Ling Ran, only two years younger than him.

This person was the Xiao Family's Young Master Xiao Haoran.

Right now, he had just found two strange birds from the outside. The birds were snow white, two circles of red around his eyes. The feathers of his tail seemed to have crossed a layer of gold, so he wanted to show off to father and elder brother.

When he entered the room, he heard his big brother's words. In addition, he usually had some understanding of this matter.

He continued," father, when I was drinking with the Second Young Master of the Military Department and Yu Marquis' s youngest son, I heard some rumors. It seems that I' m talking about the military power, but don' t know the specifics."

General Wang listened to the words of his two sons and recalled the time he had spent together with the Emperor during his youth.

At that time, the Emperor said happily:" Brother Xiao, in this world, I have a friend like you, so I am content."

But now

He couldn' t help but laugh bitterly:" I don' t believe it. He said that he would believe me. The Emperor said that!"

Does the emperor understand the pain in his heart?

After the end of the morning court the next day

General King returned to Fuli. This morning, there was minister in the court because of the military power.

If he were to say that he was holding a heavy weapon, it would be detrimental to the country. In addition, he said that the soldiers under his command were only him.

This clearly meant that he was heavily armed and threatened the Emperor.

Xiao Jiajun followed him throughout the war, born to death, not for the common people.

In the end, he was actually charged with such a crime.

The Emperor became suspicious of this, so he sent Fu Chenglin to investigate this matter.

General Wang returned to Inside the mansion and said to his two sons," It seems that the Emperor really suspects me,"

Xiao Ling Ran had long since thought that this should be the result. He interjected:" In the past, the Emperor had always summoned father in private. Now, he directly accepted the court minister's suggestion and directly sought his confidant to investigate. This already shows everything."

After hearing what Big Brother and father said.

Xiao Haoran fiercely slammed his hand on the table and angrily said," The previous secret test has become the current action on the surface. Isn' t the lives of the entire Xiao family at stake?"

Xiao Ling Ran frowned when he heard this.

From the looks of it, the Xiao clan would face an unknown disaster. Someone wanted their lives.

On the other side, Chu Li had already expected what had happened this morning.

However, he did not expect the other party to move so quickly.

As for General, he should recognize the reality this time and make preparations.

When he returned to the manor, he summoned DE AN and found out that Lixia was in the garden.

He walked over and wanted to see what his little pet was doing.

Lixia he was not disturbed by the Governor, he could live a carefree life.

At this moment, she was feeding the little rabbit carrots.

When Chu Li arrived, he saw Lixia squatting on the ground and feeding carrots.

The rabbit's entire body was snow white. Right now, it was eating the food that Lixia stretched over.

While eating, he would occasionally lick Lixia hand, causing Lixia to giggle.

The little rabbit's hair was soft, white and slippery.

Lixia picked it up and placed it in his embrace.

Then, he said to the little rabbit," You' re so white, I' ll call you Xiao Bai in the future. "Alright?"

The little rabbit's stomach must have been full, so it didn' t move, allowing Lixia to hold it.

The rabbit's ears were pink. Lixia had already noticed it and couldn' t help but pinch it.

This pinch of the rabbit seemed to have awakened as it jumped out of Lixia embrace.

Lixia saw the rabbit jump to the ground, he hurriedly chased after it. He ran and shouted. With great difficulty, he caught it back.

He solemnly warned the rabbit," Xiao Bai, if you want to run around again, you won' t give you any carrots."

It was as if the rabbit could understand her words.

Chu Li looked at her comical appearance and asked," Do you still want to eat delicious food?"

Lixia nodded, thinking to himself that this time, Lord Inspector did not know what to do.

However, he didn' t dare to ask any further. He had better obediently follow him.

###Chapter13

On the carriage, Lixia was held in Chu Li arms.

Chu Li embrace was extremely warm. Coupled with the swaying of the carriage, she felt sleepy.

Just as she was about to sleep, the carriage stopped.

It turned out that it was the same restaurant last time.

Lixia was wrapped in Chu Li cloak and entered the restaurant just like last time.

There were not too many people downstairs, drinking in twos and threes.

Chu Li whispered a few words into Lixia ear before Lixia shouted that he wanted to eat meat.

Waiter saw that it was a noble guest from the last time, this time, he listened to her from the side.

He followed DE AN instructions and prepared the food.

At this moment, they had already entered the private room and saw the person who had arrived.

The person who had come was Xiao Ling Ran, but today, there was another person beside him.

Xiao Haoran also came, because they were secretly meeting each other. Outsiders only thought that they were brothers who came to drink.

Moreover, they didn't enter the room from the main entrance this time. Before they arrived, they had already been arranged by the Chu Li. Chu Li people brought them to the room next to them and then entered through the secret door between the two rooms.

There were naturally guards outside the room, and this place was even more secretive.

Xiao Ling Ran also frequently came here to drink. He never knew that this place could actually secretly visit.

It seemed that Chu Li had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Xiao Haoran glanced at the Lixia in Chu Li arms. Before coming, he had heard his brother say that there was a little girl beside him.

Today, he had indeed looked quite delicate and loving.

However, he did not know when the Eastern Factory Governor had such a hobby.

Lixia noticed his gaze and raised his head to look at him.

This person looked quite similar to Eldest Young Master Xiao and was even whiter than him. He seemed to be about the same age as him. This little older brother had a pair of peach blossom eyes and was blinking at her.

Chu Li still sat quietly, as if waiting for the Xiao brothers to speak.

Both sides understood what was going on.

At this moment, Xiao Ling Ran opened his mouth and said," Commander, the Emperor has already decided to attack the Xiao family. We don' t want to wait for death. The entire Xiao family doesn' t deserve to die."

The Xiao family had been falsely accused of using military power. The Emperor had sent Fu Chenglin to investigate this matter thoroughly. The two families had always been at loggerheads, and Prime Minister had long regarded Wang General as a thorn in their side. The entire Xiao family was about to face a calamity of annihilation.

The Emperor was suspicious, and the Xiao family was unable to be sealed. Finally, it was a great achievement. This would happen sooner or later.

Chu Li nodded slightly.

At this moment, Lixia didn' t know how to express her feelings. She heard all of their conversation here, and this secret was known to her.

Her hands and feet were cold, and she shivered. Chu Li thought the room was not warm enough, so she covered her with a cloak.

She raised her head and smiled at Chu Li, thanking him for his concern.

Lixia thought that it was fortunate that she wanted to be a child. She could pretend that she didn' t understand anything. Otherwise, she would have risked her life.

Lixia picked up Chu Li clothes and tried to make himself a little naive and obedient.

After the matter was discussed, the Xiao family's brothers were led back from the secret door by DE AN. Only Lixia and Chu Li remained in the room.

Lixia felt very embarrassed to be alone with the Governor.

Especially when Chu Li looked at her, she seemed to see a trace of tenderness.

However, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lixia think she must have misjudged it. It must be.

At this moment, DE AN returned. He reported to Chu Li that the Xiao brothers had returned to the manor.

Chu Li ordered another table of wine and vegetables. After making Lixia eat and drink, he took the carriage back.

That night, Lixia lay on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking Day what had happened. Now that he was living here, he would know more about it in the future, which would be detrimental to him.

When he thought about it, Lord Governor did not treat her unfairly. Moreover, he was still so handsome. Apart from being cold and cold, he thought about Lixia and thought of something else.

Lixia didn't know how long he had thought about it before falling asleep.

Two days later, something big happened.

General Wang took the initiative to resign to the Emperor, requesting to bring his family back to his hometown and surrender his military power. As for the Prime Minister evidence, it was also destroyed. There were not enough conditions to convict him.

The Emperor knew that the Xiao family was no longer a threat to him and was also a meritorious official, so he agreed.

After this time, if Fu Chenglin didn' t kill General Wang Clan, they wouldn' t let it go. They could only swallow their anger.

As for Chu Li, he was already prepared. With a plan, the Emperor handed over the military power to him.

Even though quite a few official tried their best to dissuade them, not allowing the eunuchs to go into politics was useless.

The Emperor knew what they were thinking, and Chu Li was his chess piece, the person he used. Thus, it was equivalent to a military power in his hands.
