Following the faint candlelight, Xu Shu went up the stairs to the second floor. Sure enough, she saw Queen Mother Fu sitting in front of the window, and the incense burner next to her was lit with smoke.

"My daughter, please see the Queen Mother, you will be thousands of years old and thousands of years old!"

"Now I'm not in the palace, so there's no need to stick to these etiquettes!" Empress Dowager Fu looked at Xu Shu and felt a sense of condescending pleasure. So what if King Pingning likes her? In front of her, she will always be a humble and humble woman who cannot stand on the table.

"The courtesy cannot be abandoned!" Xu Shu insisted on giving a big gift.

Queen Mother Fu looked at Xu Shu who was more indifferent than her, "You don't seem surprised at all when you see the Ai family!"

"Xuehuai told me just now!"

Queen Mother Fu smiled faintly, "You are indeed smart and can actually speak out from her mouth! No wonder you can take Prince Long'an's life without hesitation. If the Ai family is not careful, it will probably be the next Prince Longan!"

"My daughter is just following the trend!"

"You are going with the flow, and you have taken advantage of it! It's better to go with the flow, except for the Fu family, right?" Queen Mother Fu narrowed her eyes, and there was a faint anger in her eyes. Last time she fell into Xu Shu's hands, but this time Xu Shu wanted to touch the Fu family?

Xu Shu asked back, "Is the Empress Dowager so unconfident in the Fu family? If the huge Fu family falls into the hands of a weak woman like me, it would be too ridiculous!"

"What's the Fu family like? The Ai family knows very well. You can't just use scheming methods to calculate. You'd better understand this!"

"My daughter understands very well!"

"Don't think that the Zheng family can command the world if they control the emperor, but the Zheng family has nothing except the emperor! How long can the emperor protect the Zheng family? If you annoy the Fu family, you will never have a good end!"

"The Zheng family just wants to protect themselves. If there is anything to offend, please ask the Empress Dowager to remember that it was the Empress who persuaded the Emperor to compile a book and summon King Pingning to return to the court. Don't blame him!"

Now I know that I have sold it. Queen Mother Fu smiled sarcastically, "Walking on two boats, the Zheng family is really a good match! Are you not afraid that both ends will be empty?"

"Didn't the Fu family also had the same thing as today's today with two boats?"

Queen Mother Fu said, "How much do you know about the past?"

Xu Shu's calm and composed appearance made Empress Dowager Fu unable to guess how much Xu Shu is holding the Fu family.

"I don't know much... It's enough to make King Pingning and the Fu family turn against each other!"

"Where did you know?"

"If you don't know, don't do it yourself! There will always be clues left in the things you have done!"

Queen Mother Fu quickly mobilized her memory, but for a while I really couldn't remember where the news was leaked. It was not the time to care about this now. Anyway, she would never let Xu Shu live until the day when King Pingning came back, absolutely not!

"Are you reminding the Ai family that if you want to remove you, you must not leave any trace?"

Xu Shu said frankly, "As long as the ministers are visited, there will be traces left. It is unlikely that the Empress Dowager will get rid of the ministers without thinking!"

"Is that true?" Queen Mother Fu raised her eyebrows and smiled confidently, "Then you might as well give it a try!"

Xu Shu looked up at Empress Dowager Fu. Empress Dowager Fu's expression was relaxed, as if she was already sure to win. This made Xu Shu couldn't help but wonder what Empress Dowager Fu was going to do?

"Do you know why the Ai family came to you for?"

"I don't know!"

Queen Mother Fu suddenly stood up and walked to the window, pushed open the window, "Come here!"

Xu Shu stepped forward a few steps and looked out of the window, and could only see rows of dark rooms and sporadic lights of beans.

"Look there, do you see anything?"

Xu Shu followed the fingers of Queen Mother Fu and saw only a dark room with two lanterns lit at the door.

Xu Shu shook her head, "Shumor's daughter is so ugly that she doesn't see anything!"

"It doesn't matter if you didn't see it! You should know this thing, right?" Queen Mother Fu took out an object.

Xu Shu held it in her hand. It was a wooden sign, probably because she had worn it for a long time and the whole wooden sign was very shiny and shiny.

"Did you recognize it?"

Xu Shu nodded, "This is Mr. Xu Qi's thing!"

This wooden sign is Xu Hua’s thing!

The Li family gave birth to a precious son when they were middle-aged and asked the master to criticize his fate, saying that Xu Hua was young and could not wear precious gold, silver and jade, which would suppress his life. So Li asked someone to make a wooden sign for Xu Hua with the birth date and horoscope for Xu Hua.

"Do you know where your brother is now?"

"In that house!"

"Do you know why he is in that house?"

Xu Shu shook her head. She didn't want to care about anything related to the Xu family anymore, but why did she come to the door again? Even the Queen Mother Fu had to kick her!

"I know how Prince Longan died?"

Xu Shu nodded. No one knew better than her how Prince Longan died!

"Your brother was also present on the night Prince Long'an died!"

Xu Shu was shocked. Prince Longan died at the gambling table. Xu Hua was so old that he became addicted to drugs... Moreover, how did Xu Hua get into contact with Prince Longan?

It's Xu Ting...

"After Prince Long'an died, the guards were afraid that they could not explain, so they arrested all the people who gathered to the gambling group and handed them over to the Empress Dowager. These people were detained in Prince Qing's Mansion. Later, after the Empress took over Prince Long'an's funeral, these people were transferred here. Now Prince Long'an has been buried for peace, and the Empress Dowager can finally free up his hands to thoroughly investigate who killed Prince Long'an!"

"What did the Empress Dowager tell her daughter what she wanted to say?"

"Do you want to save your brother?"

Xu Shu looked at the wooden sign. It was worn by Xu Hua since her birth. Even the fire in De'antang burned her back so bloody that it did not burn the wooden sign. Even if it was not burned in a corner, it was a miracle.

"Does the Empress Dowager want to hear the truth?"

"Oh? Queen Mother Fu raised her eyebrows, "Do you still have lies to say?"

"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded, "Empress Dowager, you must have wanted your daughter to save Mr. Xu Qi. In order not to let you let the Empress Dowager, I can only say that I have thought about it, but this is a lie!"

"Don't you want to save him?" Queen Mother Fu was surprised. She didn't expect Xu Shu to choose not to save him.

"Yes!" Xu Shu calmly looked into the confused eyes of Queen Mother Fu, "I don't want to save him! I've saved him once twelve years ago, and I don't want to die for him again!"

"You have to think about it. The Empress Dowager will not let them go. If you don't save him, he will be dead. Your biological father and mother are nearly fifty years old, but just this one is the only one, so you will have the heart to look at them and see them? "
