After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 495 The Dangerous Palace

But Zhang Yuniang's reaction was unexpected by Qin Jingshu.

"Since Duke Xian doesn't know how to be a good father, then we should stay away from him." Zhang Yunniang said.

Niu Niu happily responded.

Qin Jingshu looked at it dumbfounded: Is this...just like this? There was no accusation, no blame. Without asking about the situation, I had unconditionally chosen to believe my daughter.

Seeing the tenderness in Zhang Yuniang's eyes, Qin Jingshu felt extremely sour in her heart. She kept thinking in her heart, is this what a real mother is like?

She recalled that whether it was Duke Xianguo's wife or the second wife, if she heard that she disobeyed the emperor and disobeyed her father, she was afraid that there would be no good end waiting for her.

"Mom, why don't you ask me what happened today?" Niu Niu asked proactively.

Zhang Yunniang nodded: "I've been waiting for you to tell me."

Niu Niu sighed after hearing this: "I'm still waiting for you to ask questions, but it's boring for you to do this."

Zhang Yunniang immediately cooperated with her daughter's thoughts and asked: "Baby, please, tell me what happened today. I really, really want to know."

This coaxing tone made Niu Niu particularly happy. She put her hands behind her back and walked like a little teacher, shaking her head and talking about what happened today.

After Zhang Yuniang heard the cause and effect, although she felt that Duke Xian was too tough and made her daughter unhappy, she still had a doubt in her mind.

"Good boy, don't you like His Majesty very much? Why are you so resistant to him today?" Zhang Yunniang asked.

When Niuniu thought of the old emperor's face, she immediately felt disgusted: "He has changed! He was good before, but now I let Duke Xian be the bad guy, and he is waiting to be the good guy. I'm not happy!"

Zhang Yunniang didn't think through all these twists and turns at first, but when she thought about it carefully, after thinking about the emperor's actions three times in her mind, she finally understood.

"Our Niuniu is smart and can always see the truth clearly at a glance." Zhang Yunniang praised.

Niu Niu stood up proudly and said, "I can see very clearly. I will be like my father in the future, and I will also solve cases and catch bad guys!"

Zhang Yuniang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and asked in a tactful way: "Now you feel that His Majesty is not very good to you?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously.

Zhang Yunniang's heart sank.

She and her husband had long determined that there was something special about Niuniu. If Niuniu didn't like someone, the fault must be with this person.

It's just that the person Niuniu hates now is today's emperor, a person who no one can resist.

If it continues like today, and the emperor insists on forcing Niuniu to do something she doesn't like, Zhang Yunniang doesn't know if she and Gu Mingda can stop her.

"When you come back today, are you so sure that the big dark horse can take you back to the city safely?" Zhang Yunniang asked again.

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she immediately cheered up. She thought of other things to fool her around. Niu Niu was probably going to be scolded for this matter, so she was ready to help Niu Niu speak in front of her mother.

Who knows, Niuniu just nodded casually: "Dahei is very spiritual, and he can understand everything you say to him."

Zhang Yunniang immediately stopped asking any more questions and coaxed the two children to play with Xie Xingchuan before she hurried into the study. Both husband and wife unconditionally believed in Niu Niu's intuition, and their faces were filled with sadness for a while.

"Why does His Majesty change just when he says so? In the past, he loved Niu Niu as much as his daughter. How did it change so quickly?" Zhang Yunniang couldn't help complaining.

Gu Mingda still remembered that last year, he had seen the emperor and Niu Niu getting along. They were no different from father and daughter. Niu Niu also trusted and relied on the emperor at that time. Suddenly a light flashed in his mind, vaguely like he had grasped something.

"Queen Mother!" Gu Mingda said.

Zhang Yunniang's eyes lit up: "Niuniu still likes the Queen Mother very much. If there is a conflict between Niuniu and Your Majesty, you can ask the Queen Mother to mediate."

Gu Mingda lowered his voice: "Niuniu doesn't like His Majesty. There is nothing wrong with Niuniu. She can still ride the **** horse back to the city safely today. Obviously she has not lost her special abilities, so the fault will only be with Your Majesty."

Gu Mingda only dared to talk about such treacherous words in private.

Zhang Yunniang's eyes were full of horror: "Did your majesty... change someone? Just like Niuniu and Jingshu, he was transferred to someone else?"

Gu Mingda:…

Gu Mingda took a deep breath and said: "His Majesty's care for Niu Niu has not diminished, and the Emperor is heavily guarded. Even if there is someone in the world who has the same face as His Majesty, it will not be so easy to sway her."

Zhang Yunniang was puzzled: "Since it was not a transfer, why did Niuniu change her attitude towards him so much? I have noticed the difference, but now Niuniu is afraid to avoid him, wishing she could stay three feet away from him."

Gu Mingda hesitated, but still said: "People change. From last year to this year, I don't know what your Majesty has experienced or what he has been thinking about."

Gu Mingda carefully thought about what had happened in the past year. His Majesty had been assassinated twice, and the previous dynasty had also gone through a round of purges. Concubine Li was missing from the harem, and Princess Bao'er and Concubine Shun were added to the harem.

Logically speaking, Gu Mingda felt that His Majesty should not have made such a big change. After all, having another daughter would offset all other bad things.

"Is it because you want to keep Niuniu in the palace and raise more children for him?" Zhang Yunniang asked.

Gu Mingda shook his head. If he really wanted to keep Niu Niu in the palace, he could have said so directly instead of like today.

The searcher might think that what happened today was a coincidence, but Gu Mingda always felt that the emperor did it deliberately.

We obviously meet her every day in the palace, but do we really like Niuniu so much that we have to run into her outside the palace?

Moreover, Gu Mingda also found this meeting place strange, as if he was deliberately avoiding the Gu family, and his logic was also strange.

If the other party hadn't been the emperor, Gu Mingda would have guessed that the emperor had a guilty conscience, so he didn't dare to face the Gu family directly.

But Niu Niu didn't look like she was hurt. After all, the child had a mouth and would tell her parents immediately if she felt uncomfortable.

"The Queen Mother's attitude this year is also very strange. Niu Niu said that in the past in the palace, the Queen Mother would try her best to let her stay for a while. This year, if there is nothing else, the Queen Mother will no longer find reasons to keep Niu Niu." Gu Mingda said I am also very confused about this.

The Queen Mother has not stopped rewarding Niu Niu this year. It is obvious that she did not ignore Niu Niu, a fake granddaughter, because of her multiple biological granddaughters. Gu Mingda also knows better than anyone else how lovable Niu Niu is, so it seems very strange for the Queen Mother to do this.

"The Queen Mother, do you think there is danger in the palace, so you want Niuniu to go home early when it gets dark?" After Zhang Yunniang said this, she felt a little stupid.

But Gu Mingda nodded: "Maybe you were right."
