The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 560 Who is the inner ghost
"Your Majesty, my servant, let's recharge our batteries first, and don't face Xi Gongmo head-on. If we continue like this, we will definitely suffer losses. It's not too late to catch the inner ghost." General Du suggested.

Xi Gongjue nodded slowly: "That's fine, then it's up to you, let's come here today, and retreat."

From the beginning to the end, Jue Nishinomiya's complexion was not very good...

As soon as he got off the court, he saw Hongye standing at the door and said expressionlessly: "Young master, please."

"En." Hearing that his mother was looking for him, Xi Gongjue went to Tianxuan Palace without thinking.

Inside Tianxuan Palace
Empress Dowager Xi sent away the people around her, leaving only their mother and son in the whole hall.

"Mother, are you looking for me?" After that incident, Xi Gongjue and his mother seemed to have a lot of separation, so even the tone of his speech was not the same as before.

"Well, Jue'er, I heard... our army was defeated yesterday." The Empress Dowager Xi asked calmly.

"Well, I lost." Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so Nishinomiya naturally didn't have to hide it, especially in front of his mother.

"Then... didn't you look for the reason? You have always used soldiers like a god, why did you lose?" Empress Dowager Xi looked up at her son and asked meaningfully.

"I discussed this issue with all the generals in the court today, and they all agreed that there is an inner ghost." Xi Gongjue answered truthfully.

"Well, the Ai family thinks so too."

"Mother, you didn't come to me to talk about these things, did you? What's your point?" Xi Gongjue knew that the mother was not such a boring person, and she wouldn't be so boring as to tell herself about things that everyone could guess of.

"Jue'er, Aijia...maybe you know who this ghost is." Empress Dowager Xi said suddenly.

Looking at his mother's face, Xi Gongjue suddenly said: "Mother, please don't tell me that the inner ghost is An Ran."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Xi's expression changed: "If it's not her, who else could it be?"

"Queen, you still...have too much prejudice against her, it seems...you won't let it go if you don't die, right?" When Xi Gongjue asked this, his tone was extremely cold.

"Jueer, Aijia hopes you can be sober. Why do you trust that woman so much? Think about it carefully. Is she the only one who has seen King Xi this time? Just after she came back from the camp of King Xi, something happened The ghost thing, who else could it be if it wasn't her?" The Empress Dowager Xi obviously couldn't hold back her anger, and began to argue with her son angrily.

"Mother, my marching map was only announced in the court, and An Ran didn't know it. You'd better not wrong her. She has done a great deed for the country and the people by going out to exchange the Ninth Princess this time. How can you Repaying kindness with revenge?" Obviously, Jue Nishinomiya is extremely protective of Ye Anran.

Even if it is my own queen mother, even if she says something bad about her, it will not be forgiven.

"There are so many people in the court, maybe there are her confidantes among them, Jue Er, it's hard to draw a tiger out of the skin, you know the face, you don't know the heart, you should not be too gullible in that woman." Empress Dowager Xi always had a faint heart. He felt that Lan Fei's accident was not accidental, maybe someone was behind the scenes.

She wanted to follow the clues to find out something, but the clues had been cut off, and she found nothing. Even if Hongye and the others went out, they couldn't find out what happened.

Only Liu Qingqing and Ye Anran were the ones who targeted Concubine Lan, but it was obvious that Liu Qingqing did not do it, because Qingqing didn't have the brains of a Chinese to arrange such a delicate game.

If this matter was really done by Ye Anran, then it can only show that the current Ye Anran is a woman who is extremely witty and well-known, no matter whether she has amnesia or not.

Empress Dowager Xi has begun to take precautions against her...

"Jueer, in order not to prove that the Ai family wronged Ye Anran, do you dare to make a bet with the queen mother?" Empress Dowager Xi said suddenly.

"What to bet and how to bet?" Nishinomiya didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Just bet that Ye Anran is the ghost, Aijia will let you see the evidence, if she is, then...you have to kill the grass, Aijia knows you are reluctant to kill her, but if she really did it, she You have to pay the price for yourself, so you have to turn her into a commoner and drive her out of the palace." Empress Dowager Xi felt more and more that Ye Anran was a scourge in the palace, which made her feel insecure all the time.

"Okay, I promise you, but... what if An Ran is not?" Xi Gongjue said firmly.

"If she is not, Aijia promises you that you will not cause any trouble for Ye Anran from now on, okay?" Empress Dowager Xi seemed to have made up her mind and made up her mind this time.

"Deal." After finishing speaking, Jue Nishinomiya got up and left.

Empress Dowager Xi waited for her son to leave, and called out coldly, "Hei Yu."

"The subordinate is here." A dodge, a black figure appeared in front of the Empress Dowager Xi.

"From now on, keep an eye on the woman in Yanran Palace all day long. If you find anything unusual, report it to Aijia immediately." The Empress Dowager Xi understood that if Ye Anran was the ghost, then she would definitely have something to do next.

"Yes." After saying that, Hei Yu disappeared in a flash.

Because she knew that Hongye and Zitong had a personal relationship, so in order to avoid any accidents, Empress Dowager Xi still chose to let Heiyu monitor Yanran Palace.

In order to cooperate with the queen mother's decision, Xi Gongjue announced a new plan in front of the court.

"General Du, tonight, you lead five thousand elite soldiers deep into the enemy's rear, and burn their food and grass, so that the lonely people in Xigong can't counterattack us." This is the order of Jue Xigong.

He believed that if there really was an inner ghost, then if this news was leaked out, Xi Gongmo would definitely take strict precautions again.

Sunset
Looking at the golden and crimson burning clouds in the sky, Ye Anran suddenly felt that the scenery at dusk was so beautiful that she was a little distracted just now.

Usually, when Jue Nishinomiya does not come here, she mostly practices, draws, and plays the piano alone, and more often lies on the second floor of the pavilion in a daze, looking at the distant scenery.

Like a canary in a cage...

Suddenly, with a whimper, two petite white birds landed lightly and landed on Ye Anran's eaves.

"Chao Chao, Mu Mu, are you here?" Maybe I have been alone for too long, even seeing birds is very kind, these two birds often come to Yanran Palace recently, because Ye Anran will feed them some pastries .

it's winter

Many birds could not bear the cold and flew to the south. Some of the remaining birds either flew away due to lack of energy, or stayed to take care of their injured companions, so they were also very pitiful.

Ye Anran got up, went back to the table and took a plate of mung bean cakes, crushed them lightly with her fingers, put them in the palm of her hand, and fed them to the birds.

"Chao Zhao, Mu Mu, it will be fine after this winter, you have to persevere."

This pair of birds is obviously a husband and wife, because they are inseparable, so Ye Anran named them Chao Zhao Mu Mu, symbolizing a loving couple.

Not far away, Empress Dowager Xi looked at her son and smiled coldly: "Look, it's so cold, your beloved concubine actually wants to feed the birds."

"Mother, is there any problem?" Xi Gongjue asked without changing his expression.
