He Yunbi was shocked. He couldn't believe it at first, and then he started running out in ecstasy.
He Xianyi also burst into tears, covering her mouth and almost crying out loud. When she saw her brother running out quickly, she hurriedly turned back to look at Su Yao, then picked up the hem of her skirt and ran after him quickly.
Su Yao was the only one left sitting at the top. Her heart, which had been tense all the time, finally relaxed completely. He Yunbi scolded her for being cold-hearted every day, and felt that Mrs. He's favoritism towards her was wasted. She appeared indifferent on the surface, but how could she be less anxious than them
Just as He Yunbi said, Mrs. He was very sincere to her, so how much she meant to her
But no matter how worried she was, she didn't dare to show it on her face. The government had been searching for several days, and Su Rong had also rushed there with Young Master Wang after hearing the news. What would it matter if she went there? It would only cause more trouble. It would be better for her to stay at home and guard the house well, so that the He family would not lose its backbone and anything would happen to her cousin and cousin again.
Fortunately, she finally managed to hold on. She pursed her lips and hurried out. She saw Mrs. He who was hugging He Xianyi and comforting her softly outside the patio, and Second Madam He who was holding He Yunbi.
Mrs. He comforted her grandchildren for a while, then looked past them to the corridor. Su Yao was standing at the corridor, looking back at her with a smile.
She was stunned for a moment, then waved to the granddaughter whom she had raised. She also quickened her pace, and when Su Yao came over, she hugged Su Yao in her arms.
"Good boy!" Mrs. He rested her chin on Su Yao's head and stroked her hair. She sighed in a soft voice, "It's hard for you. These days must have been very hard for you, right?"
Even teeth and lips can bump into each other sometimes, let alone cousins. He Yunbi has always been arrogant and impulsive, and He Xianyi is also a person without his own opinion. I'm afraid Su Yao has spent a lot of effort to calm them down these days.
Grandma He's face was still very pale. She hurried over, holding her son's left hand and her daughter's right hand, and nodded to Su Yao: "Thank you, Yaoyao. I know that my troublesome son must have caused you a lot of trouble these days. Don't bother with him."
"How could that be?" Su Yao saw He Yunbi looking at him, and smiled slightly: "My cousin is very righteous and didn't cause me any trouble."
He Yunbi was a little surprised, and then a little embarrassed. After a while, he said with some embarrassment: "It's your idea, we are just doing what you said."
As they were talking, they had already entered the flower hall. Steward He had already prepared hot tea and cakes. Mrs. He sat down at the head of the table and beckoned Su to sit with her. Then she said, "Yaoyao, what happened in the capital these days? Tell me about it."
Su Yao then told the story of the Xu family: "This is the biggest topic of conversation in the capital recently, overshadowing my elder brother and the prince's trip to Yunnan to quell the rebellion."
Mrs. He sneered.
Second Madam He was not in the mood to drink tea. She looked at Madam He worriedly: "Mom, our accident this time was not an accident, right? How could it be such a coincidence?"
He Yunbi had been detained at home by Su Yao before, on the pretext of not causing trouble. Now, after hearing his mother say this, he was not stupid and immediately realized that there was indeed something behind this matter. However, it was precisely because of this that he could not help but be shocked and confused: "Grandma, mother, how did you fall into the river?"
When Mrs. He mentioned this, she was still frightened. Her face turned pale and her lips trembled as she said, "Originally, we planned to go through Baihe Village, take a trip to the village and then come back. But before we even entered the village, we heard that there was a funeral in the village, so we changed our route. We had to go through Tongzhou Wharf again before we got on the main road. We were startled by a fast horse. The two horses pulling the carriage went crazy and rushed around. We didn't know how many things we hit along the way. Even with so many escorts following us, they couldn't stop us, so we fell into the river with the carriage..."
Just by listening, He Xianyi's face turned pale with fright. He lay in the arms of He Ernainai with tears in his eyes, still in lingering fear.
He Yunbi pursed his lips tightly and said, "Our horses are all top-quality military horses, and they were given to us by His Majesty. How could they be so frightened?"
"Yes!" Mrs. He looked unfriendly, sneered and said without hesitation: "It looks exactly like something she can do!"
Who is this 'she' referring to? He Yunbi and He Xianyi looked at each other, both confused and scared.
He Er Niangniang's ribs were almost broken by the collision, and her chest still hurt when she spoke. It took her a long time to recover. She held her aching waist and said slowly: "Mother, if it doesn't work this time, there's no guarantee that there will be a next time."
Yes, it’s okay this time, there will definitely be a next time.
Mrs. He raised her eyebrows, glanced at He Yunbi and He Xianyi, and after a moment's hesitation, she sent them away: "Abi, your cousin has escorted us back. He has gone to take care of the people in the government office first. You go out to greet him." She turned to look at He Xianyi and said: "You go and prepare a menu. Invite your cousin and Earl Yongding to have dinner at home tonight."
He Yunbi and He Xianyi hurriedly stood up and responded.
After they all left, Madam He leaned back in her armchair and spoke coldly, "Over the years, I have been wondering why the Queen treated her so well, and why the late Crown Prince respected and trusted her, but still could not warm her heart. If that's the case, then it makes sense. It turns out that she had a premeditated plan to approach the Queen from the beginning."
They say that the one who was killed was Li, but this is just a lie to fool people.
Mrs. He frowned. In addition to disgust, she also had an unspeakable worry.
If Qi Yunxi was really related to the deposed emperor, then the things involved would be much more complicated than she had imagined. She hated Qi Yunxi to the core, especially this time, as she had deeply experienced the viciousness and fickleness of this woman.
She said coldly: "The incident with the Eleventh Princess must be related to her. She has also been in the palace for many years... If there is anyone in the palace who can be manipulated and framed for you, she must be one of them. If she can kill me, it is only natural for her to kill you. She is really ruthless. Now it seems that the incident with the Crown Prince is probably related to her. What kind of deep hatred is it..."
If you really have hatred, go find Emperor Yuanfeng!
Or you can go find the deposed emperor. When the dog was driven into the dead end alley, the deposed emperor wanted to calm the situation, but he first issued an order to execute Queen Li and announced that he would exterminate the Li family.
Now Qi Yunxi, the descendant of Li family, is quite interesting. Since she doesn't have the ability to kill the king for revenge, she transfers all her hatred to the queen and the prince.
