After passing through the book, the vicious female supporting character and the heroine work togethe

As soon as Xu Muhua woke up the next day, he asked Wu'er to inquire about what was happening outside the palace.

Crow said that the old emperor ordered people to get rid of Su Zijiao and others overnight. She wanted to know what happened that night and whether their whole family was killed.

Xu Muhua actually hoped that Xu Dexing's children could survive. These children were not crooked yet, unlike Xu Yuyao and her elder brother, who were beyond saving.

However, she also knew in her heart that if the emperor really wanted to silence her, the newborn baby would probably be killed as well.

Wu'er also knew what had happened in recent days, so he was not surprised when the Empress asked her to find out.

It's not difficult to get information, just spend some money.

So it didn't take Wu'er long to find out the news.

"My lady, it is said that there is a big commotion outside. All the people who were originally imprisoned in the prison died overnight. They were said to have committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"

"Are they really all dead?"

Wu Er nodded: "Yeah, it seems that even the child was suffocated to death beforehand."

Xu Muhua was stunned for a while before he sighed and shook his head.

"My queen, don't be sad. This is their fate. Who asked them to collude with others and betray their own people? It's better for them to die like this. Otherwise, I don't know how much suffering they will have to endure. It's better to die."

Otherwise, no matter how good the outcome is, it would probably be exile thousands of miles away. Not to mention what the place of exile would be like, it is even unknown whether one could survive the entire journey.

Yes, it’s fate!

If she hadn't been able to communicate with animals, the Chengguo Mansion would have ended up the same as in the book. If that were the case, it's not certain that anyone would sympathize with them.

"Forget it, I won't say any more. I'm just worried that my dad will be sad and feel guilty."

Wu Er said honestly, "Why should you feel guilty about this? They committed a capital crime, and the Duke couldn't save them! You can't drag the Duke's Mansion into trouble just to save them, right? This was all Mr. Xu's own choice."

That being said, human thoughts are often just so strange.

"Please pay close attention to the news outside these few days. Tell me as soon as there is anything special."

Wu Er nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely take care of this matter!"

The idea of ​​committing suicide out of fear of punishment is just to fool the common people, but which official standing in the court is not a shrewd person? At first, I didn't have any doubts, but now that this has happened, I can't help but murmur in my heart.

It seems that there is another story behind this matter!

But no one thought of the emperor, let alone thought that the great emperor of Dayong would actually collude with the enemy country for his own selfish interests! The emperor actually did such a cheap and ridiculous thing!

The emperor also knew that if this matter got out, he would be infamous forever. So even though he knew there was a risk, he still let the secret guards kill the person.

Poor Su Zijiao, he thought he had the person under control, but he didn't expect that by saying this to the prince, he would actually put himself in a dead end, and took the entire Xu family with him.

Xu Muhua thought it was a pity that he didn't see with his own eyes the reactions of these people before they died.

Especially Li and Xu Yuyao, no one knows what they were thinking before they died.

I hope they will be good people in their next life!

Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the Chengguo Mansion became somewhat depressed. After all, they were from the same clan and clan, and now everyone died overnight, and their mood was somewhat complicated and sad.

Xu's mother advised her husband: "You don't have to worry about it. They brought this upon themselves. Instead of thinking about this useless thing, you might as well think about whether this matter will involve our Chengguo Mansion."

General Xu glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with us. No matter how hard you try, you won't find anything related to us."

Also, General Xu did not tell Xu's mother that his daughter had written him a letter earlier, asking them not to worry about the matter and to let nature take its course.

He always felt that there was something else hidden in this sentence, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. His daughter was in the East Palace, and he didn't know what she was thinking. She didn't say whether she had any ideas.

Mother Xu was a little worried: "Do you think the emperor will vent his anger on the eldest brother?"

Will he take the opportunity to force the boss to hand over the military power?

General Xu thought for a moment and slowly shook his head: "Boss is still safe for now. Su Zijiao was a member of the royal family of Pishan State. He is now dead in Dayong's prison. We don't know how Pishan State will react."

If we don't handle it properly, there might be another war on the border.

General Xu was more worried about this matter.

And he was not sure whether the emperor would do something even crazier.

He has already resigned his military power and taken a sinecure in the capital. What else could the emperor be dissatisfied with?

If the eldest brother did the same as him, wouldn't it be like hanging their whole family on the cliff? They were subjects, they could sacrifice their lives for loyalty, but there was no reason for their relatives to follow suit.

Therefore, in order to protect their loved ones, they could not hand over all their military power at once. Otherwise, given the emperor's behavior, they would be imprisoned and their entire family would be exterminated just as they handed over their military power.

"Will there be a war?" Xu's mother asked worriedly.

General Xu couldn't guarantee that either, so he just held her hand and comforted her, "Don't overthink it and scare yourself. Even if we fight, we're not afraid. The boss will be fine."

"The boss is not here, you should pay more attention to his wife."

Xu's mother glared at him and said, "Do you even need to tell me that?"

That's her daughter-in-law, and she's pregnant with her grandson or granddaughter, so of course she will take good care of her.

Mother Xu was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law Geng Zhiqiu and couldn't help but say, "Mu Hua has a good eye. She picked such a good person right away. I don't know what she was thinking that day. She actually thought Zhiqiu was suitable for the eldest brother, and she was right!"

Xu's mother felt that even if she were to choose, she might not be able to pick such a good person.

Geng Zhiqiu has a good temper, is calm, not arrogant or impatient, is willing to learn, and is not easily sensitive or fragile.

When the weather was not yet cold, she often saw her moving a stool and sitting under the eaves to make clothes for her eldest son. She said that she had just married and her eldest son had gone to the border, so she wanted to make him some winter clothes and send them to the border, just in time for him to wear them when the weather turned cold.

After she got pregnant, she was emotionally stable, and she did not become sentimental or indulge in sorrow because her husband was not around. They separated right after their wedding, and she was worried that Zhiqiu would not be able to adapt, but she did not expect that she was stronger than she thought.

When everything is over, she can slowly hand over the affairs of the mansion to her. She is the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion, so it is a good thing for her to take on the responsibility and adapt to it as soon as possible.
