Vol 2 Chapter 917: Dead without a burial place (three shifts)

Xiao Houye was called back from the Yamen.
Madam Xiao looked embarrassed, "Qin'er girl, I have to see you. Even if you don't come back, there is no talk."
Xiaohouye's face was cold, "Why do you have to see Benhou? Didn't you tell her clearly?"
"The concubine just turned her head, and Qin'er guessed everything. Then she asked to see you, and the boy's temper became harder and harder."
Xiao Houye said: "I know, I will go to see her. You can go ahead."
"Master Hou Haosheng talk to her."
Mrs. Xiao was worried and looked back three steps.
Xiao Houye walked into the study and saw Xiao Qin'er standing in front of the bookcase, looking worried, not knowing which book to choose.
"Ahem..."
Master Xiaohou coughed slightly.
Xiao Qin'er suddenly turned her head when she heard the movement, "Father, you can count as coming back. My daughter has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Just talk to your mother if you have something, why do you have to see as a father? Don't you know that being a father is very busy?"
Xiao Qin'er raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "No matter how busy the father is, and the errands are more important, can it be more important than Liu Yiduo?"
Xiao Houye looked around subconsciously, and then closed the door.
He whispered, "Stop talking nonsense."
"Is my daughter talking nonsense? The father knows best. My daughter wants to hear what his father thinks."
Master Xiaohou had a serious face, "Do you want to know what Benhou thinks?"
"Yes! My daughter wants to know." Xiao Qin'er's eyes were firm, not afraid of Xiao Houye's gaze.
Xiao Houye thought for a while before he said: "Liu Yi is a prince, he has a good chance of winning."
Xiao Qin'er retorted: "He still has Liu Zhao on him, and the second prince and the third prince."
Xiao Houye shook his head repeatedly, "The second prince, the third prince is not a concern. As for Liu Zhao, he is the eldest prince. The eldest prince of this dynasty never ends well, and Liu Zhao is no exception."
"So my father intends to support Liu Yiduo's aunt?"
"Don't you like it?" Xiao Houye was full of doubts, he heard the objection from Xiao Qin'er's tone.
Xiao Qin'er nodded, "Not only does my daughter oppose the Xiao family's support for Liu Yi's seizure of the prostitute, her daughter even opposes Liu Yi's participation in the seizure of the prostitute."
Master Xiao Hou was full of lawsuits, "Why is this? Liu Yi has a natural advantage, so why not grasp this great opportunity?"
Xiao Qin'er said solemnly: "Because if Liu Yi becomes the emperor, his daughter will be the second Ruizhen Cui empress, and sooner or later will die in his hands. A few children will not end well, and he will die sooner or later. Fighting for the wealth of thousands of people in the Xiao family to support him in the upper ranks, but in the end it made the children of other women cheaper, the Xiao family ended up with a family ransacking the clan. I don’t want to! I firmly oppose it!"
Master Xiao Hou frowned, "Are you confused. You are a husband and wife, as a husband and wife."
"Being an emperor, there is no such thing as a husband and wife as one."
"Although your husband and wife often have disputes, they are not as serious as you said. Liu Yi is not the kind of unscrupulous person you said."
Xiao Qin'er sneered again and again, "The year before the first year ago, Brother Zheng was going to go out to learn to learn, he scolded Brother Zheng for not doing business. Two days ago, when he learned that His Majesty was going to the palace for training, the first thing he thought of was to bring a few concubines to the palace. Long insight. And he quarreled with me about this matter. He is so eccentric now, when he sits in that position, will our mother and son have a good end?"
Xiao Houye frowned, "You used to have such good feelings, why did you become like this now? How can Brother Zheng compare to those concubines?"
"Father should ask Liu Yi for this, and ask him if his conscience was eaten by a dog. In my heart, he is not worthy to sit in that position, and there is no reason for the Xiao family to support him to seize a prostitute. I would rather he be idle. Clan, so that my child and I can still be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of my life, and can also take care of my parents."
Xiao Qin'er's attitude is already very clear, and now it depends on what Xiao Houye meant.
Master Xiao Hou frowned, walking around in the study, thinking.
"Does Liu Yi know your attitude?"
"It should be known, but he never took it to heart. He doesn't care about my attitude at all. It doesn't matter if he wants to come to him with my support."
After speaking, Xiao Qin'er laughed at herself.
Laughing at yourself and paying the wrong person, laughing at Liu Yi daydreaming.
Xiao Houye asked, "What's happening at Pei's house? Do Liu Yi and Pei's contact?"
"Except for the holidays and festivals, I hardly walk around on weekdays. Father, you don't think that the Pei family will abandon Liu Zhao and support Liu Yi in turn. The Pei family's mind is not dizzy, and Luhou is not always confused."
Xiao Houye waved his hand, "Things are not as simple as you think. Liu Zhao is too strong, and his officials don't like the emperor who is too strong, like the first emperor. Liu Yi has a soft temperament. Compared with Liu Zhao, he should be more in the hearts of the ministers. The right person."
"Absurd!" Xiao Qin'er couldn't help but scolded.
Master Xiaohou was stunned, he was scolded by his girlfriend?
Xiao Qin'er also knew that she had made a mistake, and hurriedly explained, "The thoughts of the ministers are too ridiculous. Liu Yi can't even win Liu Zhao, so what qualifications do he have to be crowned the Great Treasure. And depending on your majesty's attitude, it is very likely that The position is left to Liu Zhao."
"As long as your majesty does not issue a preaching edict, everything is possible."
"Father, stop dreaming. Could it be that you really want Liu Yi to take the position, and then kill the four of us, mother and son, and the entire Xiao family?"
Xiao Houye slumped on the chair.
"Don't you just give up?"
Not reconciled!
Anyone with eyes can tell that your majesty is in poor health and he has been living his head within a few years.
In other words, the seizure has reached the most intense stage.
Who can sit in that position depends entirely on ability and luck.
The previous fights and the methods can only be regarded as a small fight. Next is the time to see the real chapter.
Xiao Qin'er asked angrily: "Does the father have to send his daughter to the fire pit? There is a queen mother and a Zhaoyi in the Xiao family. Could it be that he still thinks of a queen? My father is too greedy. My daughter doesn't understand it. I haven't read a few history books. But my daughter knows that a cousin who is too greedy will never end well. I don't want the Xiao family to be ransacked and annihilated, so my father hastened to dispel the attitude he shouldn't have."
Xiao Houye closed his eyes tightly, and his brows were sadly clung to him, looking very tired.
"Since you gave up, there is Empress Zhaoyi..."
"Quite wishful thinking." Xiao Qin'er interrupted Xiao Houye unceremoniously.
Xiaohouye still had ambition in his heart, he was unwilling to give up.
However, Xiao Qin'er had to pierce the ambition in his heart.
"Liu Zhao and Liu Yi are not dead yet. Even if the prince who was born is dead, the nine princes will still be in their turn. A half-elder son wants to pass his elder brother into that position, which is obviously a foolish dream. Father, you can't be confused. Liu Zhao is not so easy to deal with. The only way to keep Xiao's family safe is to brake with silence, do nothing, do nothing, wait for everything to settle."
Xiao Houye looked at Xiao Qin'er and suddenly laughed.
He sighed: "You were stubborn and self-willed back then. In a blink of an eye, you talked about the principles and the truth, and you can see the situation of the world clearly."
Xiao Qin'er is embarrassed, "My daughter is not an idiot. She has been married to the royal family for many years, and she will always make progress with her ears and eyes."
Xiao Houye smiled and said, "Being my father is happy for you. I am really happy for you."
Xiao Qin'er also laughed, "Daughter is also somewhat knowledgeable anyway."
"Yes! Better than being a father."
"Father is just blinded by desire."
Xiao Houye lightly tapped on the tabletop, "Your elder brother and second elder brothers are all fighting on the front line, and both have made military exploits. This time, I was also ordered to lead troops to pursue the Beirong Palace. If the Beirong Palace can be successfully eliminated, your second brother Brother's military exploits are enough to be included in history books. From now on, the Xiao family can rely on military exploits to gain a foothold, without relying on the harem.
Xiao Qin'er whispered: "It should have been this way. Look at Pingnanhou Mansion and Zhu Guo Gong Mansion. They never send their girls into the palace, nor are they based in the court. I heard that both Pingnanhou and his sons have made military exploits. When it comes to rewards for work and deeds, their father and son are definitely indispensable."
Master Xiaohou sighed, "But Pingnan Hou Mansion has the niece of Princess Qin, Zhu Guo Gong Mansion is married to Pei's family, and Pingnan Hou Mansion is also related by marriage."
"My father regretted it? I didn't marry Liu Yi. Is it possible to marry into Pingnan Hou Mansion, or Zhu Guo Gong Mansion?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Houye laughed, "When you were a teenager, would you marry a man other than Liu Yi?"
Xiao Qin'er shook his head.
With her stubbornness when she was young, she liked Liu Yi so much, she would definitely not marry a man other than Liu Yi.
If anyone forces her to marry, she will definitely go on a hunger strike.
Thinking of the absurd things he did when he was young, Xiao Qin'er couldn't help but laugh.
She asked bluntly: "Father will no longer support Liu Yi, nor will he support the Ninth Prince, right?"
Xiao Houye nodded, "I'm not stupid for my father. I don't know that there is a fire pit in front of me and jump into it."
Xiao Qin'er was relieved, "Thank you father, thank you!"
She left her natal home contented.
Madam Xiao came to the study and asked: "Hou Ye really want to give up?"
Xiao Houye was non-committal, "Gai Minger, you go to the Fourth Prince's Residence for two days, and ask someone to find out how Qin'er and the Fourth Royal Highness get along on weekdays? Does the Fourth Royal Highness value the concubine over the concubine."
Madam Xiao asked nervously, "What is Hou Ye going to do?"
Xiaohouye said: "Benhou can't listen to Qin'er's words. Your Majesty must figure out what happened between the two of them."
Mrs. Xiao responded, "I'll be there tomorrow. In a few days, Qin'er will set off to the palace. I don't know how much time will be delayed when I go."
"Just stay a few more days in the name of visiting my little grandson to figure out the situation."
"I listen to Lord Hou."
Both husband and wife are worried.
What had been planned for many years, how could it be completely eliminated because of Xiao Qin'er's words.
It's not that easy!
But Mrs. Xiao felt a little regretful.
"If you didn't send Empress Zhaoyi into the palace and get married with other nobles, would you..."
"Up until now, making such assumptions does not help."
"I just feel that Qin'er has some truth, and His Royal Highness King Qin has a great chance of winning."
Xiao Houye said sharply: "If His Highness the Four Princes really fell out with Qin'er, then of course he won't get the support of the Xiao family. So you have to figure out what is going on between the two of them."
