With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Lin Wuwei and Lin Wuhui, are they still alive?!

This news was a great surprise to the Queen and others.

She frantically suppressed her excitement, and pulled Xiao Yun and Lin You to stand beside Xiao Qianqian's bed. Xiao Qianqian was also a little confused by the system's words.

She was silent for a moment before asking, "Tongzi, is it true? My eldest uncle and second uncle are really not dead?"

[Of course it's true,] the system was very proud, see, keeping me is still very useful, he continued, [your uncle Lin Wuwei, is currently serving as a chariot and cavalry general in the State of Chu to protect the royal family of the Great Chu.]

He paused, [Your uncle is in the North Country, married to an orphan girl from another tribe, and they make a living by herding in the North Country.]

Xiao Qianqian...

She was puzzled, "That's not right, it's the other way around, shouldn't my eldest uncle be in the Northern Kingdom and my youngest uncle be in the Chu Kingdom? And why is my eldest uncle a general in the Chu Kingdom?"

The system is calm and composed. [Then we have to ask our Great Xia Emperor. He originally wanted to kill the two generals of the Lin family, but something went wrong and the Chu people took advantage of it.]

[The Chu people accidentally captured General Lin Wuwei, brought him back to Chu, and used secret methods to tamper with his memory. ]

[Originally, your second uncle found out something in Chu State, but unfortunately he was discovered by the Chu people, so they led your second uncle to the Northern State.]

[He was hunted by the Chu people along the way, and later he accidentally fell off a cliff and lost his memory. He met his current wife Qiqige, and the two of them now live an ordinary herdsman life. ]

After hearing this, Xiao Qianqian fell silent. She was still a baby who couldn't speak, so how could she tell these things to her mother?

The queen was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pressed Lin You and Xiao Yun's shoulders and walked towards the outer hall.

Emperor Mingde sat at the dining table, staring at the table full of delicious food, feeling extremely anxious as to why the empress and the others had not come out yet.

"Xiao Chengxi," the queen shouted, she quickly approached Emperor Mingde and slapped him in the face, "What did you do to my elder brother?"

Emperor Mingde covered his face and looked at the queen in disbelief. He stood up suddenly and pointed at the queen, "You, you, are you crazy?"

She actually dared to hit him.

The queen sneered, "Did you plan the disappearance of my elder brother and younger brother?"

Emperor Mingde was too guilty to look the empress in the eye. He wanted to explain, but...

He removed his hands from his face and lowered his head.

Now he knew who was the person he could trust. Although he felt embarrassed, he finally explained after a long silence, "It was Wu Yougui who brought up the matter between the two generals. I, I," he raised his head suddenly, "I,"

"That's enough," the queen closed her eyes and pointed outside the palace, "Get lost."

Emperor Mingde moved his lips, but in the end he could not utter a word. What happened back then was indeed the work of him and Wu Yougui.

Now, how can I have the face to argue?

He bowed and clasped his hands, saying in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry."

Afterwards, he lowered his head and left Fengqi Palace.

The queen took a deep breath and immediately ordered the secret guards to take the news of Lin Wuwei and Lin Wuhui to the northern border to Xiao Lingshuang.

After calming down for a moment, he spoke, "Okay, both of you come out."

Xiao Yun and Lin You hid behind the pillar and eavesdropped...

The two of them lowered their heads and walked towards the queen. The queen looked at them helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I will find them."

Even though the Lin family's secret guards had access to all the intelligence in the world, no one had expected that her eldest brother would be taken away by the Chu people, and his younger brother was actually living in the North.

No wonder I couldn’t find it. I was going in the wrong direction.

The queen took a deep breath, "Let's eat first," she patted Xiao Yun and Lin You on the shoulders, "Now that we have money, we have nothing to fear."

Xiao Yun and Lin You looked at each other and nodded heavily, "I will protect my sister."

"I can do it too."

The queen smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat."

She walked into the inner hall again and saw Xiao Qianqian drinking milk with big mouthfuls. Only then did she feel at ease to have her meal with the two young men.

Emperor Mingde returned to his palace alone, and the palace was filled with silence.

Zhao Huai looked concerned and walked quickly towards Emperor Mingde. He bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, you are back? Can you have dinner?"

Emperor Mingde squinted his eyes and looked at him for a moment, then sighed, "Serve the meal."

Zhao Huai's eyes lit up, "Yes."

Emperor Mingde was originally very hungry, but now he had no appetite at all. Zhao Huai anxiously advised him to eat more.

Emperor Mingde became impatient with his nagging and asked him to go down and rest.

Only then did he put down his bowl and chopsticks, stared at the dinner in front of him, and recalled Zhao Huai's origins.

At that time, the late emperor was seriously ill, so he specially called him to his side and gave him Ma Dequan, the eunuch who had served him for decades.

Ma Dequan was in his forties at the time and was considered a man of high spirits. Although he was a eunuch, he had learned a lot of martial arts.

She was tactful and considerate, always doing things properly. She often comforted him and asked him to get closer to the queen, saying that the queen was a rare and good woman.

It can keep your home safe inside and defend against foreign enemies outside.

Such a wife will definitely help him protect the entire Daxia and safeguard the stability of the royal family.

Later, he was afraid of the military power in the hands of the Queen, and was instigated by the Queen Mother and the King of Qi. Finally, he got tired of Ma Dequan and arbitrarily chose Zhao Huai, the most handsome and the one who spoke the most to his liking, from among his disciples.

I still remember that year when Ma Dequan knelt outside the imperial study and advised him to change the candidate, saying that Zhao Huai was cunning by nature and not a good person.

As long as it’s not Zhao Huai, it doesn’t matter who you choose.

But he simply wouldn't listen. The more Ma Dequan told him not to do it, the more he insisted on doing it.

and after……

Emperor Mingde sighed deeply. He transferred Zhao Huai to his side and demoted Ma Dequan to the Jingshifang.

Let him, a eunuch who cares about the world, clean the chamber pots for the most humble slaves.

"Eunuch Ma," Emperor Mingde closed his eyes and murmured. After a moment, he stood up and ordered sternly, "You are not allowed to follow me."

After saying that, he went to Fengqi Palace on his own.

It was already dark at this time, and all the guards guarding outside Fengqi Palace had been replaced by Lin family secret guards wearing evil ghost masks.

Emperor Mingde stood outside the palace gate for a long while, then took a deep breath and said to the secret guards, "I want to borrow a few secret guards from the queen. You, you..." His throat was dry, and he suddenly felt that he, the emperor, was a joke. He closed his eyes and said with a stiff face, "You go and tell them."

Thinking of the slap the Queen had just given him, he decided not to go in and provoke the Queen.

The secret guard was stunned for a moment, gave his companion a look, and then walked forward steadily to report.

The queen had already washed up. She was holding Xiao Qianqian in her arms and teasing him with a gentle look on her face. The little guy was giggling because of his mother's amusements.

After hearing the secret guard's report, Luqiao felt reluctant to ruin the queen's mood.

The Queen grew up with her since childhood, so how could she not notice it?

She still looked at her little money and said calmly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Luqiao curled her lips. It was already evening and she no longer needed to act mature and steady, so she angrily told the emperor about his coming.

The queen sneered, "Oh, give him the person."

Luqiao bit her lower lip, reached out and gently touched the little princess's cheek, then went forward to give orders with a reluctant look on her face.

The queen smiled bitterly at her daughter in her arms, "Tell me, how should we treat your father from now on?"

Xiao Qianqian frowned and thought seriously, [Well, how about my mother becoming the empress? ]

Queen...

Oh my, her little baby is so adorable.

The system spoke cautiously, [Um, little princess, I have a melon of eunuch Zhao Huai here. Would you like to have it as a bedtime snack? Listen to it? ]

Xiao Qianqian yawned. Alas, babies just sleep a lot. [What's that? ]

[Well, Zhao Huai, who is beside your father, is a servant of three families. His first master is the Queen Mother and the Prince of Qi, his second master is Concubine Wu and her brother and sister, and his third master is your father.]

[Ahem, he drugged your father's meal in the evening, and now he is leading people to kill Ma Dequan.]
