"Empress, the Prime Minister asks for a visit." Outside the door, the palace maid whispered.

The queen raised her eyebrows and said strangely: "Bai Xiang? Why did she come to see me?" Even if Ge Shu Jun was not here, she, the queen, had already died in name only. Even if something really happened, how could Prime Minister Bai come to see her? After thinking about it, Queen Xiao said: "Please come in."

After a while, the Prime Minister walked in quickly, and followed several men in gray-clothed clothes following him. Although the Queen did not recognize them, she recognized their clothes. They were the clothes of the secret guards who were beside Ge Shujun. The Queen's eyes flashed and she said lightly: "What's the matter with the Prime Minister here at this time?" Prime Minister Bai glanced at the people around him with some embarrassment, and then said: "Is it not that the old minister has something to do, but these people have brought His Majesty's will."

Although the queen and his daughter were in the palace, and the Bai family and the Xiao family also had some holidays, Bai Cheng still respected Queen Xiao a little. Moreover, in recent years, the daughter of the Bai family who was under house arrest was not favored, and even gave birth to a prince, he did not show up. His Majesty obviously disliked all the families that once had high status and powerful, so why bother to make things difficult for each other?

The queen frowned and said, "Your Majesty has any order, please tell me."

A man in gray in the lead stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has an order to capture the entire Xiao family immediately and throw him into the heavenly prison. Please ask the Empress to go to the army immediately despite the ministers."

The queen's face changed and she said in a deep voice: "What does your Majesty mean?"

The man in gray said, "Your Majesty has his own intention, so I can guess at will. Please do not make things difficult for me." The queen sneered and said, "Your Majesty will search the entire Xiao family for no reason. Can I not even ask for a reason?" The man in gray frowned, and Prime Minister Bai next to him also said, "What the Empress said is very much. The Xiao family is a descendant. I don't know if Your Majesty has any other instructions, so as not to make the government and the people uneasy."

His Majesty was on the battlefield, but he issued an order to capture the entire Xiao family. Prime Minister Bai's expression was a little strange. It would not be that the Xiao family would take advantage of the fact that His Majesty no longer wanted to usurp the throne for the eldest son? It seems that the Xiao family does not seem to have such ability. The man in gray looked at Prime Minister Bai and Princess Yongjia. Princess Yongjia hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, Bai Xiang, I'll go out first." As he said that, he also took out the maids who were serving in the hall. Only the queen and Prime Minister Bai were left in the hall, and the man in gray took out a letter and handed it to Prime Minister Bai. Prime Minister Bai opened it in confusion, and after seeing it, his face followed, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

The Empress also knew that she was afraid that things would not be good, so her heart sank.

"Braft...defense map?" Prime Minister Bai said tremblingly. That was something that concerns the life and death of the Northern Han. Not to mention raiding the house, it would be no exaggeration to even kill the whole family. If the matter is verified, the Xiao family will be in a disaster. No... Maybe the one who is in a disaster is now the Northern Han. On the battlefield, the Northern Han clearly stands at a location but the war has been unhappy. It turns out...

The queen stepped forward and pulled the letter from Prime Minister Bai's hand and looked at it. Her face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Nothing! Xiao family... How could the Xiao family..."

The man in gray looked at the queen indifferently, and his eyes were shaking, telling the queen that his Majesty was not the Xiao family, but the queen herself. After all, there were not many people in the Xiao family who had high power and deep trust from His Majesty. Even if he wanted to treason, he could not get into such an important thing as a defense map. The queen was so angry that she trembled all over, holding her hands tightly beside her, and said sternly: "I have never seen any defense map. As the Queen of Northern Han, the son of this palace is the eldest son of the Northern Han Emperor. Why did I do this? Your Majesty doubts the Xiao family and the Palace so much, what evidence does it have?!"

"In the past two years, the Xiao family has had 300,000 taels of silver in various channels. The source of money is unknown. Finally... after verification, the money comes from the Western Yue. In addition... the personal maid next to the Empress left the palace and married a side general under His Highness Lie. This person... also had many secret contacts with the Western Yue. If the Empress still wanted evidence, two years ago, the eldest son of the Xiao family took a woman who was said to be a Chinese country as his concubine. The woman disappeared five days ago, and this woman... was not a Chinese country, but a Western Yue. I wonder what other evidence the Empress wanted?"

"This is impossible?" The queen almost fell to the ground and sat down with a chair. The man in gray said, "I have clearly locked all the people in the Xiao family and the others to interrogate them overnight tonight. I believe that the conclusion will be reached tomorrow morning. At that time... it will not be too late for the Empress to say anything." The queen shook her head repeatedly and said, "This is someone slandering me!"

The man in gray lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "These words... please go and tell His Majesty himself."

The queen gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I will go with you."

"My mother! Queen!" While everyone was talking, a slightly tender voice sounded from outside. When they heard the voice of their son, the queen immediately stepped out and wanted to go out, but was stopped by someone. The man in gray in the lead said in a deep voice: "Empress, please leave with me now. It is not advisable to make a statement at this time, the eldest son... If the Empress is really wronged, we will naturally see you again in the future."

A trace of anger flashed in the queen's eyes and she said unhappily: "I am still the queen now!"

"Your Majesty is destined. Before proving the Queen's innocence, please do not see the eldest son for the time being. This... is not good for the eldest son." The man in gray hesitated for a moment and said. The Queen was stunned. After a while, she couldn't help laughing loudly, "Okay! What a brother Shu Jun!"

"Empress, please be careful!"

"Mother! Mother!" Outside, the eldest son of the emperor was stopped outside the door and shouted in a hurry, "You are arrogant! I am here to pay my respects to my mother, but you won't let me in!" In recent years, due to the empress's house arrest, although the eldest son of the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty has been under a lot of favors and is naturally not stupid. Seeing this, I know that something is afraid that something is going to happen, and I will break into it.

"Son of the Emperor..." The Queen's voice came from it, "Son of the Emperor, your father sent someone to send a message back and have something to discuss with the Queen of the Mother, you go back first."

"Mother...Mother Queen?" The eldest son of the emperor hesitated a little. Empress Xiao said in a deep voice: "Mother Queen is fine, you go back first."

"But……"
