From the moment he stepped into the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Heng's heart was filled with ups and downs.

The reason why she can still remain calm is all due to the training she has received in the palace for so many years.

The palace has always been heavily guarded, especially after His Majesty's palace was in danger three years ago, and the number of secret guards around him has also increased a lot.

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement, but the presence of a large number of secret guards in the Imperial Study Room is enough to prove His Majesty's distrust of those summoned.

Usually I target important ministers, but today it was finally Xiao Jiu's turn.

In the past, Xiao Heng would rather believe that the sun comes out from the west than believe that His Majesty would guard against Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu's behavior was also extremely abnormal, and there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between him and His Majesty.

Although the Hua family's experience was outrageous, based on her understanding of Xiaojiu, she should not completely distance herself from His Majesty because of this.

What's more, Xiaojiu is not unsophisticated. If she wants to clear the grievances of the Hua family, the best thing to do is to please His Majesty.

Therefore, what happened in the Imperial Study Room today was definitely not simple.

Emperor Tianqing's eyes were very complicated, but his attitude was almost humble, which made the waves in Xiao Heng's heart become more and more turbulent.

"Your Majesty is the king of a country. To say this is to offend my concubine."

"I knew you would answer like this..." Emperor Tianqing laughed at himself, with a look of loneliness on his face.

When an ordinary woman hears such words, the first thing she thinks of is that her husband is having an affair.

But Ah Heng had never been jealous even once after being married to him for more than ten years, so she naturally wouldn't think that having a few more women in the harem meant she was sorry.

Xiao Heng felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Her marriage was decided by the late emperor, and she was not even qualified to refuse.

But she can only have the final say on how much emotion she puts into this marriage.

Countless precedents told her that if women in the harem cannot guard their hearts, sooner or later they will be unable to guard their lives.

What happened to her mother made her see clearly how terrible men can be when they are cold.

Therefore, she never expected His Majesty's true love, but only looked forward to living a peaceful life with him.

But seeing him so depressed and lonely, why did she feel so uncomfortable?

"Your Majesty, if Xiaonian had not gone to Qifeng Palace just now, how far would things have progressed today?" Xiao Heng asked softly.

"It's just a competition of martial arts. I will never let any of them get hurt."

"Xiaojiu has passed the age of being brave and fierce, and...how stupid does she have to be to fight with someone in the imperial study room?"

Emperor Tianqing argued: "I just said..."

"Your Majesty, I brought up Xiaojiu by my concubine. Every subtle change on her face cannot be hidden from my eyes.

Although she has tried her best to hide it today, her eyes still look at you with hatred. Can you tell me the whole story?"

Emperor Tianqing twitched his lips unnaturally: "That girl doesn't tell the difference between family and friends. She has been hating me for two years because of the affairs of the Hua family..."

"After all, the Hua family is not the Xiao family. Besides, the Huahou couple and the imperial concubine are still alive and well. The most she can do is complain that you are unkind, but not to the point of hatred.

Also, I have been serving Xiaonian by your side for many years, but this is the first time I have seen him so unstable."

Hearing her mention Eunuch Xiaonian again, Emperor Tianqing couldn't help but read a few words in his heart.

That dog slave ate the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard today and messed everything up.

However, if he hadn't invited Ah Heng, he really didn't know how it would have ended.

Xiao Jiu and Huan Yu's martial arts skills were much higher than he imagined. If the fight continued, Feng Ying and others would definitely lose.

It's really hard to guess how Xiaojiu will treat him then.

"Ah Heng, the matter is over, why do you need to ask for the truth?"

Xiao Heng stared at him and said: "Xiao Jiu has a cheerful temperament and has always been clear about grudges and grudges.

For more than ten years, she has been loved and cared for by her relatives and friends, who never allowed her to be exposed to hatred and pain.

It wasn't until she learned the cause of her mother's death that she truly changed.

But even so, I have only seen hatred in her eyes twice.

Last time it was because of my father, but this time it is because of you."

Speaking of which, some things are already coming to light.

Emperor Tianqing's face was ashen, and he felt as if his whole body was immersed in ice water.

All Xiaojiu's hatred comes from the wasted death of the eldest lady Nanshi.

In the past, she believed that Nan was indirectly killed by Xiao Siqian, so all her hatred was directed at him.

Now she has transferred her hatred to him, which shows that she already knows the truth of the matter, that is, he is the real culprit who killed Nanshi.

"Ah Heng...you already know..." Emperor Tianqing's lips were trembling and he couldn't speak clearly.

"I have been married to Your Majesty for more than ten years, and I think I know you fairly well. But it was not until today that I realized how wrong I was..."

Xiao Heng's body and voice were trembling, as if he had returned to the day when his mother was shot by an arrow.

Emperor Tianqing was so startled that he even forgot about his nervousness.

"Ah Heng..." He tentatively reached for Xiao Heng's hand.

"Go away!" Xiao Heng pushed him away, almost hysterical: "Tell me, what is going on!"

Emperor Tianqing couldn't sit still anymore and knelt down in front of her as soon as his legs went weak: "It's all my fault. I can't do it to my mother-in-law, I can't do it to you, I can't do it to the Xiao family, and I can't do it to Xiaojiu...

"

Xiao Heng's eyes turned red and he stared at him.

Emperor Tianqing burst into tears.

"Ah Heng, I...I didn't mean it...you knew the situation at that time..."

He told what happened intermittently.

Xiao Heng felt dizzy and almost fell from his chair.

She actually married her mother-killing enemy and gave birth to three children for him!

No wonder Xiaojiu's behavior is so abnormal.

No wonder Xiaojiu refused to return to Beijing for three years.

It's hard for her to keep quiet these days and even talk and laugh in front of her.

It was difficult for her to hold back and not kill her enemy with a single sword, and she even used lies to excuse her enemy.

She does it all for herself!

Xiao Heng calmed down and picked up a small bonsai placed on the table.

Emperor Tianqing was shocked.

Time will indeed dilute some of people's memories.

After more than ten years of mutual respect, he only remembered his wife as a gentle, virtuous and virtuous woman, completely forgetting her true nature.

The tiger girl in the general family and the girls in the Xiao family all have tempers.

That kick when they first met, and her ferocity in wanting to die together with her father-in-law, could not be compared to that of an ordinary noble girl.

Just as he was thinking about it, the small bonsai had already hit him on the head.

Emperor Tianqing resisted the urge to dodge and closed his eyes in his heart.

"Ah——" Xiao Heng shouted, and the small bonsai hit the ground heavily.

"Ah Heng——" Emperor Tianqing saved her calf: "As long as it can alleviate your pain, I am willing to bear anything.
