Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting had dinner at the Su family.
As soon as she returned to the Protectorate, she bumped into Eunuch Cheng at the door.
“Eunuch Cheng, ” Su Xiaoxiao greeted.
Eunuch Cheng said anxiously, “Madam Wei, the Empress Dowager’s phoenix body is inconsistent. She hasn’t eaten much for the entire day. May I disturb
you… ”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Okay, I’ll go right away.”
Wei Ting said, “I’ll send you off. I can go to the front hall to settle some official matters.”
It was not true he had to handle official business, but it was true to send her off.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t refuse.
The two of them entered the palace.
Wei Ting went to the duty room in the front hall.
Su Xiaoxiao and Eunuch Cheng went to Fushou Palace.
Surprisingly, Princess Lin was also there.
She was playing chess with the Empress Dowager.
The two of them sat on a futon each in the middle of the hall with a short table in the middle.
The Empress Dowager held the black piece, and Princess Lin held the white piece.
They were halfway through the game.
Su Xiaoxiao could tell that the Empress Dowager would definitely win.
It was not that Princess Lin gave in to the Empress Dowager, but that the Empress Dowager’s chess skills were indeed better than Princess Lin’s. Eunuch Cheng was about to remind the Empress Dowager that Madam Wei was here.
Su Xiaoxiao gestured at him and gently walked over. She sat down behind the
Empress Dowager.
On the other side, Princess Lin was thinking hard about her next step when a figure floated past. She thought it was a little palace maid.
Su Xiaoxiao massaged the Empress Dowager’s shoulders.
The Empress Dowager instantly felt extremely comfortable and closed her eyes in enjoyment. “‘Here.”
Princess Lin paused. The Empress Dowager wanted her to go down here?
She placed a piece.
The Empress Dowager looked at the place where she had placed her piece and frowned. “That’s not a smart move.”
Princess Lin was at a loss and subconsciously looked behind the Empress Dowager.
It didn’t matter.
Seeing this, she almost cried out.
The Empress Dowager sensed her gaze and turned to look.
Realizing that it was Su Xiaoxiao, she smiled reproachfully. “Why are you here? Let me guess. Did some bold person disobey my decree and looked for you?” Eunuch Cheng lowered his head.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to massage the Empress Dowager’s shoulders. “No, I miss the Empress Dowager.”
How could the Empress Dowager be so easy to fool?
However, if Su Xiaoxiao wanted to speak up for Eunuch Cheng, the Empress Dowager would pretend that nothing had happened.
“Don’t do it again.” The Empress Dowager warned.
“Yes!” Eunuch Cheng agreed.
The Empress Dowager pulled Su Xiaoxiao’s hand, not wanting her to tire herself out. “Alright, sit down beside me.”
The palace maid at the side hurriedly placed a soft futon.
Su Xiaoxiao sat down and greeted Princess Lin with a smile. “Princess.”
Princess Lin smiled awkwardly. “Madam Wei.”
The Empress Dowager was surprised. “You know each other?”
Princess Lin was nervous.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “I bumped into her on the streets this morning and chatted with her. I didn’t expect to meet her again so soon.”
The Empress Dowager looked at Princess Lin with a gentler gaze. “That’s fate.”
Princess Lin heaved a sigh of relief.
God knew that she was breaking out in cold sweat.
She was a princess, but she had to be informed by a eunuch before she could see the Empress Dowager.
From the fact that Madam Wei could enter the Empress Dowager’s bedroom without any notification, it could be seen how much the Empress Dowager doted on this number one daughter of the Great Zhou.
The Empress Dowager did not continue after this round.
Su Xiaoxiao took the Empress Dowager’s pulse.
The Empress Dowager was suffering from loss of appetite because of the hot weather. She had to adjust her diet slightly and take more walks to increase her activity.
Princess Lin often came to visit the Empress Dowager recently.
She thought that the Empress Dowager liked her.
Seeing the Empress Dowager in front of Su Xiaoxiao, she realized that the Empress Dowager only treated her with pity and care.
With Madam Wei, the Empress Dowager’s eyes lit up.
The Empress Dowager asked how the two of them met.
Su Xiaoxiao only said that they were choosing jewelry in a shop and got to know each other.
She didn’t mention Chen Haoyuan at all.
If it was said that Princess Lin was only protecting herself because of Su Xiaoxiao’s identity, at this moment, she was convinced by the other party’s character and charm.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t specially cover for Princess Lin.
She couldn’t be bothered to mention that scumbag’s family, nor did she care to hit Princess Lin when she was down.
When Su Xiaoxiao came out of the harem, she had four cold brocade boxes in her arms.
Wei Ting hurriedly took the brocade box. “What are these?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Lychees.”
One box came from the Empress Dowager.
The two boxes came from Princess Hui An and Princess Jingning.
The last box was sent over by Changping, who was beside Xiao Zhonghua.
“Four boxes?”
Wei Ting’s gaze was dangerous, as if he was saying, “Empress Dowager, two princesses… What about the fourth box?”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked innocently. “Jing Yi gave it to me.”
Wei Ting snorted and took a step aside expressionlessly.
Jing Yi was revealed behind him.
Jing Yi stood there in a daze with a cold brocade box in his arms. He tried his best to smooth things over.
“Then I’ll… give… a second box?”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Emperor Jing Xuan’s dragon body was inconsistent, and the Crown Prince supervised the country on his behalf.
Xiao Zhonghua received countless memorials every day when he went to court, nearly half of which were to impeach Qin Canglan.
Unlike Emperor Jing Xuan’s laissez-faire, Xiao Zhonghua clearly expressed his stand with his “father”.
Northern Yan was ambitious. Qin Canglan led the army personally to eliminate a huge problem for the Great Zhou and was a hero of the Great Zhou.
If anyone impeached Qin Canglan again, they would be treated as spies from Northern Yan.
Such a swift and decisive instruction caused a huge commotion in the court.
No one expected this gentle and careful Third Prince to be so unyielding. Not only that, but Xiao Zhonghua also recovered the provisions of the Qin family army.
He specially chose a team of elite soldiers and transported the rations to the Northern Yan battlefront overnight.
Emperor Jing Xuan was paralyzed by a stroke and his mouth was crooked.
Even if he knew what this unfilial son, Xiao Zhonghua, had done, there was nothing he could do to stop him.
If someone gained power, someone would lose power.
In the past, Prince Rui’s Mansion was like a market, but now, it was deserted.
Xiao Shunyang was drinking in his room.
Suddenly, a figure arrived behind him.
He pulled out the sword on the table and stabbed back.
The other party easily blocked it with his folding fan and smiled. “Your
Highness, calm down. I don’t have any ill intentions. I’m here to help you.”
Xiao Shunyang looked at the man in black in front of him warily. “I recognize you. You’re the mysterious advisor who came out of Father’s bedroom.”
The man in black smiled and admitted openly, “Your Highness has good eyesight.”
Xiao Shunyang placed his sword on his neck. “The State Preceptor is one of yours, right? You were the ones who caused my father to be like this!”
The man in black did not dodge. Instead, he sighed softly. “Your Highness, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood me. The pills that the State Preceptor gave to His Majesty did not have laxatives. I don’t know who tampered with the pill that caused His Majesty to have a stroke.”
Xiao Shunyang said coldly, “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
The man in black said, “Your Highness, why don’t you think about who will benefit after His Majesty falls ill?”
Xiao Shunyang frowned. “You want to say that the Crown Prince did it? Why would he do such a thing to his biological father?”
The man in black said casually, “If His Majesty doesn’t have an apoplexy, will the throne be his?”
Naturally, it was not his turn.
Could it really be Third Brother?
Xiao Shunyang’s expression turned cold. “You’re not a good person either! Don’t think I don’t know that those so-called immortal pills are just poison to quench one’s thirst!”
The man in black said fearlessly, “Your Highness, I’m sincerely here to help you seize the throne. I know that there are some things that you can’t accept for the time being, so I won’t force you. If you think it through one day, remember to come to the Myriad Immortals Building in the north of the city to look for me. Tell them that you’re Fourth Master’s friend. I’ll be waiting for you at any time..”
