Although the imperial concubine issued a hush-hush order on this matter, the empress dowager in the harem had quite a lot of spies.

So the Queen Mother knew about it as soon as possible.

Regarding the conduct of the imperial concubine, the Queen Mother shook her head, deeply disapproving of it.

The imperial concubine's behavior is too arrogant and domineering, which makes her unpopular. She is indeed not a suitable candidate for the queen.

She couldn't keep her temper, but she couldn't be generous and was very selfish, so every time the imperial concubine came over, she would overtly or covertly hint to the Queen Mother and the Emperor about establishing a queen.

Although the Queen Mother told the Emperor, she never mentioned that she wanted to make the imperial concubine her queen.

"If her character takes a back seat, I'm afraid it will only increase her momentum and make her even more arrogant."

Aunt Gui listened and said nothing.

The Queen Mother continued to talk to herself and sighed: "It's better to establish a queen, and stop her thinking."

"I just don't know what kind of storm this harem will cause."

At this time, the maid from outside came in: "The Queen Mother, please see me."

"I just said that the Ai family was taking a nap, and they are gone." You don't need to think about it to know why the imperial concubine came here at this time. The queen mother did not want to see her.

The news that Xu Jinyi became the empress spread throughout the capital in an instant.

And the rumors that she was ugly were disproven.

Xu Youran, who had been hurting her intentionally or unintentionally, turned out to be a scheming woman.

Wu Ziqian felt regretful and frightened when he heard the news. He almost stole the woman from the emperor.

I almost lost my life.

He originally wanted to go to his aunt to settle the score, but thinking that Xu Jinyi was in the house now, he had no choice but to give up.

In Ouyang Mansion.

Ouyang Zhixia also learned the news from his father, and his mood was very complicated for a while.

Although she knew that Xu Jinyi had entered the palace and that the emperor had promised her the position of queen, but now that she had succeeded, the sadness on her face still lingered.

Mrs. Ouyang looked at her and said, "Did you already know about Xu Jinyi's entry into the palace? Did you also know that she was the queen?"

Ouyang Zhixia nodded.

Mrs. Ouyang sighed: "This road is difficult to walk, but at least it is your own choice. It is better than being pushed by Wu onto a road of no return."

Ouyang Zhixia seemed to be suddenly enlightened after hearing this and no longer dwelled on the matter.

Perhaps this is the best place for Xu Jinyi.

Because Xu Jinyi returned home, the people from the Xu family outside finally left and no longer stared at the Ouyang family.

Ouyang Zhixia finally had the opportunity to steal the body with his brother.

The night was dark and windy, the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the road was not close. Of course, Brother Ouyang did not agree with Zhixia to go with him.

Even if Ouyang Zhixia is anxious, she can only wait at home.

Brother Ouyang was already past his prime when he came back, and his handsome face was frostbitten, but the sympathy and sadness on his face made Ouyang Zhixia's heart sink.

"My sister's body has been brought back. We should all accept the reality."

When it was dug out, Brother Ouyang once again confirmed the body and planned to bury it back directly.

After all, this is disrespect for the deceased.

But thinking of his sister's persistent character, she would never give up until she saw her, so she brought her back.

Because of the cold weather, the body did not rot, but was covered with a layer of frost.

Ouyang Zhixia had a cold face. She didn't believe what her elder brother said and directly opened the white cloth.

Ouyang Zhixia's tears fell instantly when he saw a familiar face.

Ouyang Zhixia simply could not accept the fact that Xu Haoyang was really dead.

How great is the expectation in the heart, how great is the disappointment.

Compared with the sadness before, this time Ouyang Zhixia was clearly mentally broken.

Brother Ouyang felt uncomfortable seeing his sister crying like this.

After ordering people to return Xu Haoran's body, Ouyang Zhixia, who was crying with his head down, glanced at Xu Haoran's feet from the corner of his eye.

Suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Ouyang Zhixia stood up with wide eyes, staring at Xu Haoran's feet.

Brother Ouyang stepped forward and put his arms around his little sister's shoulders, and persuaded her: "Sister, let him rest in his grave. I think if he were alive, he wouldn't want to see you like this."

But Ouyang Zhixia became excited: "Put down the body, put it down for me, everyone get out."

The four people carrying the body thought that their young lady was too sad and went out without noticing anything unusual.

After driving the people away, Ouyang Zhixia, filled with mixed emotions and excitement, stepped forward and lifted one of Xu Haoran's feet, staring closely at his shoes.

Brother Ouyang also noticed something was wrong with his little sister. This expression was not sad at all.

Staring at his little sister suspiciously, a bold idea came to his mind.

"Sister? Could it be?"

Ouyang Zhixia made a gesture of silence.

Then he took off Xu Haoran's shoes and looked at the feet that were obviously smaller than Haoran's. Ouyang Zhixia smiled ecstatically and silently.

Although there were tears on his face, they were different from the ones just now. These were tears of joy.

After putting on his shoes silently and asking someone to return the body, Ouyang Zhixia spoke.

"Brother, Haoran is not dead. He is really not dead. He is still alive."

"He must have encountered difficulties, that's why he didn't come back. We have to rescue him."

Brother Ouyang was stunned. He didn't know where his little sister could tell that it was not Xu Haoran's body.

"foot?"

Ouyang Zhixia nodded: "Even if a person dies, his feet will not suddenly become that much smaller."

"Although I don't know how he could look so similar in disguise, and there's no trace of disguise on his face, I'm sure it's not Haoran."

"I made three pairs of Haoran's shoes for him in total, one pair three years ago, and two pairs I made for him after he came back."

"I measured the size of the feet myself, so I'm sure it's not Haoran."

Brother Ouyang's expression suddenly became serious.

It's not that he doesn't believe in his sister, it's because he believes that he understands that the water in Haoran's death is too deep.

The person who caused this is probably the person behind it, and he has a lot of background.

Even if they know, what can they do?

Is there any chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation? The enemy is in the dark, they are too passive.

"Brother, please don't make this matter public, let alone reveal any abnormalities, lest people in the dark know and really attack Haoran."

Of course Brother Ouyang understood: "But what should we do if we know?"

Ouyang Zhixia said: "We don't have to do anything. I will come to visit the Queen tomorrow."

Brother Ouyang's eyes widened: "How could I forget that Haoran's biological sister is now the queen?"

"It will be much more convenient to do things this way. If the queen can speak to the emperor, this matter will be easier to handle."

"No matter how powerful the person behind him is, can he be more powerful than the emperor?"

Knowing that Xu Haoyang was not dead, Brother Ouyang was really happy for his little sister.

At least there is hope, and people will always find it.
