“No ood his napie said worriedly “Xiaoyao, you already have Supreme Commander, ah”
Ning Xiaoyao fell silent
“Moreover, General Xu wants you dead,” Big Boss Black added “This cat feels that Supreme Commander’s name sounds the best of all”
Ning Xiaoyao’s h conscience not to rip out Big Boss Black’s lungs Na a man after a cuckoo bird is really too awful
“What kind of expression are youXiaoyao warily
“Thisto do with your Supre?” Ning Xiaoyao ruffled the fur on Big Boss Black’s head until it was all a mess “Come on, pals Tell me all about the e faithful unto death to General Xu? And how did she even end up as my empress in the first place?”
“You’re the one that ers “Don’t you know?”
“I don’t,” Ning Xiaoyao shook her head helplessly By the tinant with General Xu’s child
“Grandpa Sparrow, you should tell Xiaoyao,” Oil Jar pleaded
Grandpa Sparrow replied, “It was the Grand Preceptor who set his sights on the empress”
“Tch,” Ning Xiaoyao clicked her tongue in reply I knew it, old geezer Xie must have stuck himself in here somewhere
“The empress has an older brother called Zhou Junqi2 He failed to suppress some bandits that caused the death of one of the late emperor’s uncles,” Grandpa Sparrow explained “The late emperor wanted to execute the brother, but the Grand Preceptor said to uaranteed that Zhou Junqi wouldn’t die After that,” Grandpa Sparrow paused to spread his wings, “Zhou Junqi really did survive”
“Grand Preceptor helped you snatch an e Xiaoyao sat gloo her palms
Wifey Magpie said, “Xiaoyao, don’t be sad Grand Preceptor’s the bad guy here”
“Where’s this Zhou Junqi now?” Ning Xiaoyao asked
“I know the answer to that,” Husband Magpie piped up “He’s in a temple located north of the capital”
“H-he beca Xiaoyao said in astonishment
“His hands were chopped off by the bandits,” Husband Magpie explained, “So he couldn’t fight battles or lead troops anymore The late emperor ordered him to become a monk”
“Then what about his soldiers?” Ning Xiaoyao asked
“General Xu acknowledged Grand Preceptor Xie as his Godfather,” Wifey Magpie said, “So Grand Preceptor Xie gave him command of the Zhou Clan troops”
Ning Xiaoyao stared There’s even the saga of a Godfather and foster son in this story? Noticing her gaze, Wifey Magpie added quickly, “General Xu had no other choice either If he didn’t ally himself with Grand Preceptor Xie, the Zhou Clan troops would’ve really fallen into that bad guy’s hands”
“So he took the Grand Preceptor as his Godfather while thinking of ways to finishXiaoyao pointed at her nose Is there any reason left in this world?
All of the ani Xiaoyao after her words She really was an unlucky girl, forced into an unwanted position that es
“Who told you to be the e Xiaoyao
Ning Xiaoyao fell into aher hands, she said, “Fine then, as long as she has a big brother, that works I’ll send the empress to him first”
Grandpa Sparrow quickly shook his head “The eree to it”
“Forget about her,” Ning Xiaoyao said irritably, before e, “That’s my wife!”
“……” said the little ani Xiaoyao’s wife
“But then wouldn’t the e any investigations?” Oil Jar said “And when she thinks about ood terms with the empress, won’t that expose General Xu?”
Ning Xiaoyao glanced at Oil Jar, as clutching a half-eaten cracker, and realized he really was a smart mouse
“Oil Jar is right,” Grandpa Ash said “Xiaoyao, I heard that you humans have plenty of ways to make your women lose their babies”
Ning Xiaoyao couldn’t believe it “The e like that?”
“She could threaten the e Boss Black said “And ainst Supreme Commander instead”
“Can’t you worry about some other hu Xiaoyao huffed “Me, for example?”
“This cat just wants to tell you that it’s better to nant, rather than sending her out of the palace,” Big Boss Black replied
“Do you have any ideas?” Ning Xiaoyao asked
Big Boss Black fell silent All of the little anist theood
“Huhed with a black expression
“Arooo~” the snoolf pup expressed his agreeer and stood up to pace in circles around the room
Finally, she asked Grandpa Sparrow, “Is it really possible that the eainst the empress’s baby?”
Grandpa Sparrow nodded That eer is so wicked, ouldn’t she do?
“Then forget about everything else,” Ning Xiaoyao said “I’ the empress out of the palace immediately”
“What if the eer tries to threaten the empress?” Oil Jar squeaked
“The e brother’s side,” Ning Xiaoyao said “The eer is invincible inside the palace, but that’s not necessarily the case beyond its walls Even if she tries to threaten the e brother there, right? Some sort of support is better than none at all The baby will only grow healthy if the ood mood”
“And what about you?” Big Boss Black asked The eht be fine, but ill the ninny do?
Ning Xiaoyao cracked her lips into a grin at the little anih the Heavens I don’t need to fear a thing, yah~”
