The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

After leaving the main hall, Jingxue took the little myna bird to Runyue and Yingying's room. The two girls jumped for joy when they saw the little myna bird.

"Little Black, it really is Little Black!" Runyue immediately stretched out her arm, and the little myna bird landed on her arm in cooperation.

"Alright, you two have fun with it!"

"Sister, I'll feed it some sunflower seeds!" Yingying said, rummaging through her small bag for sunflower seeds.

Jingxue didn't delay any longer and quickly went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

When she returned to the main hall, only the Emperor Emeritus and Eunuch Xi remained in the room.

The retired emperor put down his teacup. "You brat, you've turned the capital into a complete mess!"

Hearing this, Jingxue regretted giving the telescope to the Emperor Emeritus. Otherwise, even if the old man worked himself to death, he still wouldn't be able to tell that the person from that night recognized her. But so what!

So she smiled and said, "Father, let's drink the porridge since there's not much food right now."

The Emperor Emeritus was so angry that he raised his hand to slam the table, but the eunuch Xi stepped forward and supported his arm. "Please don't be angry! Let's talk this out."

"Yes! Father, please calm down. Getting angry can damage your liver! Besides, if you break this table, we'll have to spend money to buy a new one! That's not worth it!" Jingxue said with a playful smile.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor Emeritus was so angry that he pointed at Jingxue and shouted, "Well, you little brat, you actually have the mind to scheme against me! Tell me, what is the purpose of all this trouble you've caused?"

"Father, what are you saying? I don't understand. What did I do? I didn't do anything!" Jingxue smiled and spread her hands.

"Hmph! Who else but you could do that? Don't play dumb with me, I saw it all clearly that night." The Emperor Emeritus pointed to the binoculars on his chest.

“Father, is it possible that you have mistaken me for someone else? Besides, if you saw that your daughter-in-law had done something wrong, why didn’t you catch her on the spot? Our royal family values ​​evidence the most, right? Next time, next time if you see me doing something wrong, just catch me on the spot. We’ll reason with you, and your daughter-in-law won’t be able to defend herself!” Jingxue said sincerely.

Jingxue's words infuriated the Emperor Emeritus, who gritted his teeth and said, "Then you were the one who built the wall in Kangping Prefecture, weren't you?"

"Father, His Majesty has not said that I did it. Unless there are both witnesses and physical evidence, please do not wrong your daughter-in-law. My father is the best example, and the theft cases that have occurred in the past two days are also examples. I would like to know the reasons behind them!" Jingxue's smile disappeared as she said this.

The retired emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "In short, the capital cannot continue to be in such a state of chaos!"

"That's not something your daughter-in-law can decide; perhaps it is your decision! Father, I have to go fetch my younger brother, please excuse me!"

"What do you mean? Leaving me standing here, how dare you!" The Emperor Emeritus was radiating coldness, and the eunuch Xi and his family beside him gave Jingxue meaningful glances.

Jingxue said solemnly, "Father, I really didn't mean to leave you out. I really have to go pick up Jingze. On the 18th of last month, Jingze and I went to visit our father and mother, and we were assassinated in an alley not far from the Prince's Mansion. So I have to go pick up Jingze in person. His safety is the most important thing!"

"What? Who dares to be so bold?" The retired emperor stood up abruptly and exclaimed.

"Someone hired the 'Ruthless Pavilion,' a martial arts sect, to assassinate my brother and me!"

"Is this really true? The Heartless Pavilion? Then, do you know who's behind this?"

Jingxue lowered her head and remained silent.

The Emperor Emeritus sat down again and said in a gentler tone, "Girl, I know your father is innocent, but the evidence is irrefutable. The fact that the Emperor and I have spared their lives is already the greatest mercy we can show. Think about it, if the pardon had been given to you a few days later, they would have certainly died!"

Upon hearing this, Jingxue stubbornly rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, but remained silent.

If it weren't for the immunity token, he might have stormed the execution ground and escaped with his family long ago! Why suffer such a miserable life every day?

"The reason they weren't exiled is to protect them. Your father fought for the country for many years, so let him have a good rest!" The Emperor Emeritus continued to mutter.

Jingxue thought to herself, "Who rests in a prison cell? Besides, my mother is six months pregnant. It's better to listen than to talk."

Not wanting to continue, she curtsied and said, "Father, your daughter-in-law really has to go fetch Jingze, or she'll be late!"

The retired emperor sighed and waved his hand, "Go!"

"Thank you, Father!" Jingxue said, then got up and left.

"This girl must have found the person behind it all," the retired emperor said quietly.

“Your Majesty, even so, Princess Zhan is a person of principle. In this old servant’s opinion, the assassins did nothing to them. If Princess Zhan had killed the mastermind in a fit of anger, it would have been an easy matter. But you see, Princess Zhan did not do that,” said Eunuch Xi.

The Emperor Emeritus didn't speak, but started banging on the table again, and Eunuch Xi had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.

Jingxue picked up Jingze and An'an and told them that the Emperor Emeritus had come to the mansion.

"Elder sister, the Emperor Emeritus is the Emperor's father, right? Can we ask him to release Father and Mother?" Jingze asked Jingxue expectantly.

After listening to Jingze's words, Jingxue finally understood that no matter how good life is, children still long for their parents' company, and no one can replace that.

"Xiao Ze, the Emperor Emeritus can't decide on Father's matter. We'd better not mention it to avoid putting him in a difficult position. My elder sister will find an opportunity to clear Father's name."

"Oh, Ozawa knows!"

Seeing the little guy's disappointed look, Jingxue had no choice but to coax him, saying, "The Emperor Emeritus brought a little myna bird, which used to stay in our mansion! If you don't believe me, ask Brother An'an."

An An nodded, "Yes, the little myna is very smart and can talk a lot. Xiao Ze, you will definitely like it."

"Oh! We'll see each other soon, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Jingxue and the other two did not return to the manor through the main gate. The back gate was much closer to Jingning Garden, and they were worried that An'an and Jingze would get cold in such cold weather.

After handing the two children's cloaks to Ying Jiu, Jing Xue led them into the main hall. As soon as they entered, they saw the Emperor Emeritus posing with one hand on his hip and the other holding a little myna bird. Run Yue was taking pictures with a Polaroid camera, and Xiao Yingying was directing them from the side.

Jingxue: The retired emperor is arguably the oldest "conspicuous bag" in history, bar none!

"Uncle Emperor Emeritus, please don't blink! If you blink, you might go blind!" Yingying blinked her big, bright eyes and said to the Emperor Emeritus with a serious and patient expression.

The Emperor Emeritus smiled slightly upon hearing this and replied, "Yes! I know! I promise I won't blink. Little girl, hurry up and take your picture!"

The leap month, standing nearby, added, "Uncle Emperor Emeritus, you can't blink, you can't speak, and you can't move around! Because the moment to witness a miracle is about to arrive!"

Upon hearing this, the retired emperor quickly shut his mouth and became completely still, standing as steadily as a statue.

With a crisp "click" of the shutter, a photograph slowly appeared inside the machine.
