Chapter 218 Awakening
Master Xiao sighed, and said in a deep voice: "How could dad joke with you about this kind of thing? Our people have already been confirmed, and it's absolutely true. Madam, what do you think of this matter?"

"I—" Concubine Xiao took a breath and rubbed her dizzy temples: "I have to think about it! I have to think about it! This is too—"

This is too absurd!

Master Xiao remained silent and didn't say another word.

After a long while, Concubine Xiao's dizzy mind, which seemed to be bursting, gradually regained clarity bit by bit.

No wonder!
No wonder this aunt who is a direct relative doesn't show any intimacy and love towards herself and the eldest prince, especially towards Yu Chuan, in her heart she can't even compare with Xiangping.

Originally, she only thought that Xiangping and the eldest princess were too good at flattering her. Originally, she only thought that she loved her own daughter more, and Aiwu and Wu loved Xiangping more. It turned out that it was not all, and she did not put their mother on the list at all. In the eyes!I never planned to rely on her and the eldest prince in the future.
Concubine Xiao Gui couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Originally, she was still silently saying "We'll see!", thinking that in the future, after her son succeeded to the throne, she would make a good publicity and make her regret it.

But who would have thought that in the Empress Dowager's heart, she and the First Prince would not have such a future at all, right?

Concubine Xiao Gui gritted her teeth with hatred, and was secretly afraid.

"Father, tell me about this, what should we do?"

"Alas!" Elder Xiao sighed and shook his head: "I don't know either. About this matter, your empress should also talk to the eldest prince. We will listen to the eldest prince."

After all, Empress Dowager Xiao was his direct sister whom he had loved since childhood, and she had paid a lot for the Xiao family and had given a lot to the Xiao family.Without her, there would be no Xiao family today.

If you really want to do something to her, Mr. Xiao still feels a little bit unbearable.

How could Concubine Xiao not know what her father was thinking?She couldn't help but secretly glanced at him, secretly a little annoyed.

There are also some injustices.

In father's heart, is she not as good as the queen mother?I'm afraid dad is confused, right?
Now that things have happened, Dad can't help being confused about this matter, and he has to stand in line no matter what.

Since the Empress Dowager had thought that she shouldn't have thought about it, it was tantamount to standing on the opposite side with herself, with the First Prince, and with the Xiao family. Sooner or later, the two sides will confront each other.

"Since that's the case, let's go back first!" Concubine Xiao steadied herself, and said with a smile: "In any case, there is still room for redemption, as long as the queen mother's thoughts are not exposed to the eyes of the world, this matter has never happened. I will care, and I believe the First Prince will not care either. For the rest of her life, the Empress Dowager will definitely make proper arrangements for her, and she will definitely not be wronged."

After hearing these words, Mr. Xiao felt a little relieved, and his unbearable heart towards Empress Dowager Xiao also eased a little. He bowed his hands gratefully to Concubine Xiao, "Your Majesty is kind, I believe that Empress Dowager will one day understand Her Majesty's intentions." of."

Concubine Xiao Gui smiled.Will Empress Dowager Xiao remember her kindness and understand her intentions?Oh, she really didn't think so!
That old woman who is only attached to power!Yu Chuan really said nothing wrong, she should have been killed a long time ago—Concubine Xiao Gui was shocked, had this idea been so deeply ingrained in her heart a long time ago?

Since she had such thoughts that shouldn't have been born, it meant that she didn't take herself or her son seriously.

Since she is so ruthless and unjust, why should she treat her kindly?
After Elder Xiao left, Concubine Xiao Gui didn't call anyone, she sat alone on the soft bed, her face was cold and her eyes were gloomy.

Although the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace didn't know what happened, everyone felt that it was unusual, and the atmosphere became tense unknowingly. Standing in the corridor outside the main hall, he held his breath.

After an unknown amount of time, I heard Concubine Xiao calling lazily in the palace, "Come here!" The maids and eunuchs Fang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the palace servants who were close to him went in to serve her.

Concubine Xiao Gui originally wanted to call the Eldest Prince over today, and the mother and son would carefully discuss this matter.

Thinking about it again, just as his father left the palace today, he hastily called the eldest prince. Isn't this clearly telling people that something extremely important happened?

If she didn't know anything before, she wouldn't care about it, but now that she knows what Empress Dowager Xiao is thinking about, she can't help being cautious, for fear that if there is any disturbance on her side, Empress Dowager Xiao will become suspicious.

As a last resort, Concubine Xiao Gui waited patiently, planning to send the eldest prince into the palace tomorrow.

In order to make herself look the same as usual, Concubine Xiao continued to eat and rest in a leisurely manner.

But this night, she hardly fell asleep.

As soon as I lay down, I couldn't help but think of Empress Xiao, and the strange attitude of Empress Xiao towards my mother, son, mother and daughter these years.

If it wasn't for Princess Yuyan who has never been able to stand up and live a life that would be worse than death, if it wasn't for Princess Xiangping who had married Fanbang far away, it would be absolutely useless to make a living under her daughter, and Concubine Xiao Gui would also take action to deal with them.

Only when she thought about how bad and unsatisfactory they are all now, she felt a little happier.

In the early morning of the next day, Concubine Xiao finally got up slowly when she found her usual time to wake up.

After sluggishly eating breakfast, he took a leisurely stroll around the garden, and then ordered his confidant eunuch to send the eldest prince into the palace.

"Liu Quan, I must see the Eldest Prince today. If the Eldest Prince is not at the mansion right now, you ask his housekeeper to go find him quietly. Even if he has urgent matters, I will let him go first." , I must see him today, the sooner the better! Just remember this, and don’t spread it to the outside world! Can you understand me?”

Concubine Xiao Gui's phoenix eyes were high, staring at Liu Quan sharply.

Liu Quan's cold sweat came down with a "shua", and his waist was bent so much that he almost turned into a shrimp: "Yes, imperial concubine, this servant will remember."

Concubine Xiao Gui had always been domineering and domineering, but she was pretty good to these slaves, it was rare for her to order anything with such a cold and stern expression.

She is quite majestic, how can Liu Quan feel at peace?

After Liu Quan left, Concubine Xiao Gui became anxious uncontrollably, her heart was in such a mess, she couldn't do anything, her mind was full of this terrible matter.

After the eldest prince came down to court today, he really didn't go anywhere, and Liu Quan was soon caught.

Hearing Liu Quan's words, the eldest prince was very surprised. Thinking about it, he seemed to have not seen his mother and concubine for several days, so he simply didn't bother to go back to the mansion to change clothes, so he followed Liu Quan into the palace.

"Mother Concubine, you are looking for me!" The eldest prince smiled and stepped forward to salute Concubine Xiao.
