Prosperous advisors

Chapter 1024 The sorrow of the big family
In the end, the eldest son of the emperor still obeyed the words of Princess Yongjia, nodded respectfully and said: "I will take my leave, and I will come back later to pay my respects to my mother."

Looking at the leaving figure of the eldest son of the emperor, the smile on Princess Yongjia's face also disappeared.Just by looking at the appearance of those people, you know something must have happened.I hope...that sister-in-law Huang is fine.

A tear fell from the corner of the Queen's eyes as she watched her son leave step by step through the gap in the palace gate.She didn't know whether she was going to live or die, and she didn't know if she would have a chance to see her son again.if.If something really happened to me... what will the emperor do?Will Ge Shujun really miss him?Thinking of this, the Queen's heart was suddenly in a state of confusion.I couldn't help secretly hating Brother Shujun's ruthlessness.

The man in gray said respectfully: "Please leave the palace for the time being, Empress. We will leave for the army tomorrow morning. At that time, Your Majesty will have his own opinion."

The queen snorted coldly, and said: "I know, Prime Minister Bai, the emperor has to take care of you."

Prime Minister Bai nodded, "Please rest assured, Empress."

The queen changed her clothes, and followed a few gray-clothed men out of the palace without alarming everyone in the palace.Prime Minister Bai looked at the thin letter paper in his hand, and a chill rose in his heart.It's really a troubled time, I always feel... something big is going to happen.

Many people were suddenly imprisoned in the sky prison in the imperial city on this day.Before most of the people in the imperial city noticed, the Xiao family's house had been quickly ransacked and everyone in the Xiao family had been thrown into a dark prison.Although there is an emperor who is not easy to serve, the Xiao family, the queen's natal family, has been a bit aggrieved, but no matter how aggrieved, the descendants are still descendants, and generally no one dares to provoke them.But now, the whole family was thrown into jail before they could react at all, and the Patriarch of the Xiao family should know...their Xiao family is in trouble.

Sure enough, they were not polite to them after they were put in prison.Everyone in the Xiao family was tortured mercilessly, including the patriarch of the Xiao family who was nearly [-] years old and the head of the country.

He was thrown back into the cell with injuries all over his body. Before the pain on his body eased a little, Guozhang Xiao was caught by his son who rushed over, "Father?! What the hell is going on?! Why do you say that we Colluding with the Xiyue people?! This is slander!"

Xiao Guozhang shook his head and said, "Maybe... something happened in the palace?"

The eldest son of the Xiao family said angrily: "In the palace?! The queen? What does she have to do with us? So many years... When did our Xiao family get her favor?" He is the queen's brother.But in fact, since she became a queen, no one from the Xiao family has been promoted to a noble.It's the same no matter what you do well or badly, since that's the case...why is he working so hard?Xiao Ting was desperate enough, even his own life was involved, but he didn't see anything from the palace.Is it their turn now?

"Because you haven't been able to gain the glory of the royal family, can you treason?" A cold voice came from the door.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Xiao's eldest son said angrily, but he was taken aback when he turned around and saw the person coming.Standing at the door were the hidden guards and Empress Xiao's party that Ge Shujun had photographed.Empress Xiao was wearing inconspicuous clothes, accompanied by a gray cloak, she was almost unrecognizable at first glance.Seeing Empress Xiao, everyone in the Xiao family immediately became excited, "Empress Empress, I have been wronged!"

"Empress Empress! Tell me...what the hell is going on?!" The eldest son of Xiao gritted his teeth and glared at the queen angrily.He was not much with Xiao Ting and his brother at first, but now he is convinced that he suffered an indiscriminate disaster because of Empress Xiao, his heart is filled with anger, and he doesn't even care about his identity.The man in gray sneered, and said, "The evidence is convincing. Could it be that you have been wronged?"

"Evidence of fart?! When did we treason?" Xiao's eldest son scolded angrily.They are not brain twitching, are they from the Northern Han Dynasty or the queen's family, what good will it do them to join Xiyue?Would Rong Jin trust and reuse them because they took refuge in them?Xiao Guozhang stood up, looked at the queen and said: "Your Majesty, our Xiao family has never done anything wrong to Bei Han, please check it out."

Empress Xiao smiled bitterly, "Father, I'm afraid... I won't be able to help the Xiao family."

"what do you mean?!"

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Guozhang's expression also sank, and he said in a deep voice, "The Xiao family will never do anything wrong to the Northern Han Dynasty. This old man knows the truth that everyone is prosperous and everyone is hurt." These words... On the one hand It shows that the Xiao family has no position to betray the Northern Han Dynasty. On the other hand, it also tells the queen that if the Xiao family disappears, it will not be of any benefit to the queen.Apparently Mr. Xiao thought that his daughter was resentful towards the Xiao family because of the past events and was unwilling to help.

Empress Xiao smiled a bit bitterly, and said lightly: "Father, my daughter was also taken to the army for trial before His Majesty the Army."

"What?! How could this happen?" For a moment Xiao Guozhang had nothing to say.

The man in gray glanced at everyone in the Xiao family calmly, and still respectfully said to the queen: "Empress, do you have anything else to say?" The queen glanced at him lightly, looked at the angry Staring at his elder brother, he asked, "Brother, who gave you the 10,000+ taels of silver?" The face of Xiao's eldest son changed, and he said angrily, "What 10 taels, I don't know what you're talking about?!" The man raised his eyebrows and said: "Young Master Xiao, don't you know? It seems... the people in the sky prison are still merciful? No, we forgot to give them the news." Just look at these people who are in a mess. Those who tortured here absolutely did not show favoritism.

Xiao's eldest son's eyeballs were erratic, and he was obviously a little guilty, but he still had to pretend to be righteous.The queen turned pale with anger, "Brother, is he still unwilling to tell the truth? Over the past few years, the Xiao family has talked about 10 taels of silver. Don't you even know where it came from? No..." Thinking of the source of the money, Empress Xiao couldn't help trembling.Once the collusion between the Xiao family and Xiyue is confirmed, her son's life will be over.

"What the hell is going on?!" Xiao Guozhang said with his beard trembling with anger, glaring at the people in front of him.

The man in gray sneered and said, "The Xiao family has continuously collected 10 taels of silver from Xiyue in the past few years. Is Xiao Guozhang trying to say that you don't know? After all these years, it was finally found out that it was from Xiyue Wei Wuji. Excuse me, Mr. Xiao Guozhang must know that Wei Wuji is someone from the Xiyue Emperor. Could it be that Mr. Wei gave money to the Xiao family for no reason?"

Xiao Guozhang was really wronged. Ever since Ge Shujun came to the throne, he has been eyeing them, the old dignitaries. How could he dare to act rashly under such circumstances?Isn't that rushing to send the handle to the emperor?Even when his second son Xiao Ting died for no apparent reason, the Xiao family didn't say a word.Although he didn't love his step-wife's sons as much as he loved his eldest son, but Guozhang Xiao was not so cruel that he didn't care about his death, he just didn't want to offend the emperor.
