Chapter 188 Cuicui's miserable condition

"Prime Minister Su, you have given birth to a good daughter! Someone, call Su Yue to the audience, hahaha." The emperor was not annoyed when he heard Su Yan said he didn't know. He stopped playing guessing and directly asked Eunuch Zhu to call Su Yue in.

Prime Minister Su was stunned. Why did the emperor summon his own daughter? Was it really his daughter Su Yue who proposed this idea?

With an incredulous look in his eyes, Su Yue and Gu Qingzhi appeared from the gate of the Golden Palace.

"Your servant Su Yue."

"Your servant, Gu Qingzhi."

"Your Highness, long live the emperor."

The two of them came to the Golden Palace, knelt down directly in front of the emperor, and paid a great salute.

"No need to be so polite. Please stand up. Eunuch Zhu, announce the decree." The emperor did not give Prime Minister Su time to react and directly signaled to announce the decree.

Afterwards, with Prime Minister Su looking confused, the Emperor directly announced three major events.

1: Gu Qingzhi led his men to put out the fire and made great contributions. In addition to being awarded the title of General Protector of the Nation, there were indeed doubts about the Gu case, and it was thoroughly re-investigated.

2. Reward Gu Qingzhi with the General's Mansion and allow the Gu family to move back to the Dongyou Imperial City.

3: Su Yue was rewarded with a great deal of gold for her advice and was directly named Princess Jiaping. She enjoyed the same rights as the royal princesses and was awarded a princess mansion.

After the two men knelt down to express their gratitude, they retreated to the side, and Prime Minister Su had not yet recovered from his shock.

How come in just one day, his daughter became a princess!

Thinking of Su Yue, who was brought into the Prime Minister's Mansion by him not long ago, at that time, she was still a little girl who allowed him to control her.

"Prime Minister Su, if I remember correctly, Princess Jiaping will be coming of age in four days. We must not lose face by then."

This was the last sentence the emperor said to Prime Minister Su when the court was dismissed. The implication was that the emperor wanted him to do something big.

The emperor had wanted Su Yue to get married for good fortune, so he naturally remembered her birth date and coming-of-age day.

Prime Minister Su's legitimate daughter, Su Yue, proposed an ingenious plan to put out the Nanshan forest fire by putting out fire. After the court session ended, the news spread quickly throughout Dongyou like a spring breeze, which of course included Yaowang Valley.

Even the deeds of this extraordinary woman, Su Yue, had spread to the country of Mo.

Today is the day that the Gu family moves to their new home. Gu and Su Yue, mother and daughter, took a carriage to Gu Qingzhi's general's mansion early in the morning.

As for Prime Minister Su, he was staying in the study, holding a brush and seemingly painting, but after dripping four or five drops of ink on the rice paper, apart from a large pool of ink that quickly spread out, he did not write for a long time.

Before, because the Gu family fell from power, he was afraid that Gu and Su Yue would bring him trouble, so he sent them to the countryside for five years.

He also knew a little about how the mother and daughter had lived in the past five years when the three slaves came here before. Now that the Gu family has made a comeback and is likely to surpass its previous status, Prime Minister Su regrets it so much.

Now, to outsiders, he has a daughter who is a princess, and a lovely wife named Gu. In addition, the Gu family is about to rise. It can be said that his current status exceeds that of General Chen.

But he is the only one who knows the pain involved. His daughter is disobedient and his wife ignores him. The key is that he has no way to do anything. After all, he is the one who is wrong.

The Gu family moved to a new house today, and Gu and Su Yue went there early in the morning. Logically, as a son-in-law, he should go as well.

But when Gu and the others left, they didn't even say goodbye, and he didn't know how to face Mr. Gu.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Su sighed heavily and slammed his brush heavily on the rice paper, making the already large ink stain even bigger.

"It's all the fault of those three lowly slaves!" Prime Minister Su thought about it and still felt that he just left them mother and daughter in the countryside, and the suffering they suffered was all because of those three lowly slaves' lack of eyesight.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Su's eyes suddenly lit up and he called out loudly to Butler Su.

"Prime Minister, do you have any instructions?" Butler Su naturally saw the Prime Minister's dilemma, but as a servant he could not do anything, so he just watched.

"Butler Su, are the two slaves from the countryside still imprisoned? Or were they killed by the second young lady?" Prime Minister Su raised his head and looked at Butler Su with hope in his eyes.

If those two slaves were still alive, it would be easy.

"To reply to the Prime Minister, of the two slaves, the paralyzed one couldn't bear the suffering and died, but Cuicui is still alive because the Second Miss specifically told her not to let her die. She is still imprisoned."

When Steward Su heard the Prime Minister mention the lowly country slaves, he remembered that the mistress and the young lady had gone to the Gu Mansion today, and he guessed a general idea in his mind.

"Okay, take me to see it." When Prime Minister Su heard that Cuicui was still alive, his mind became active and he quickly asked Butler Su to lead the way.

When they arrived at the place where Cuicui was imprisoned, Prime Minister Su was so shocked when he saw Cuicui that his eyes widened.

Cui Cui is now so thin that she looks like a skeleton. Her originally big eyes are now bulging out. She is lying on the dry grass on the ground, looking extremely scary. The house where she lives is full of fat rats.

Just when Prime Minister Su saw Cuicui, a big rat crawled quickly across her face, but Cuicui's dead-like face did not change at all, as if she had already gotten used to it.

"Is this Cuicui?" Prime Minister Su pointed at the woman on the ground, turned to look at Butler Su with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, this slave even wanted to starve himself to death, so the Second Miss specifically ordered the servants to feed him a life-saving medicine soup every day."

Butler Su took over Prime Minister Su's question and turned to look in Cuicui's direction.

"Come and eat." Just then, a servant came over with a pot of food. Perhaps he didn't notice the prime minister, and shouted loudly in Cuicui's direction.

The servant's next action shocked Prime Minister Su so much that his eyes widened.

"This...this..." Prime Minister Su pointed at Cuicui and took a few steps back in shock.

The servant poured a bowl of food not far from Cuicui. When Cuicui heard the sound, she hurriedly got up and crawled towards the food, but the group of fat rats were faster than her.

The scene of people and rats fighting for food made Prime Minister Su feel shocked and disgusted.

"Greetings, Prime Minister." When the servant heard the Prime Minister's voice, he hurriedly threw his rice bowl aside and knelt down.

"What's going on? Didn't she say she was going to starve to death? Why is she competing for food with rats?" Prime Minister Su asked, suppressing his nausea.

"In reply to the Prime Minister, the Second Miss asked the servants to mix some appetite-stimulating medicine into this rice." The servant reported truthfully.

At this moment, the big bowl of food had been swept away. Prime Minister Su didn't see Cuicui grab a few bites. Most of the food went into the mouths of the rats. No wonder the rats here were so big.

After eating, Cui Cui lay on the dry grass like a dead person, staring at the roof with wide eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

The mice were running around in the room as usual, but they did not leave.

"These rats?" Prime Minister Su pointed at the rats and found that once the rats were about to cross Cuicui's room, they would suddenly turn back, as if there was some invisible wall.

"In reply to the Prime Minister, the Second Miss ordered us to sprinkle a rat-scare powder around this house every seven days. These rats were also thrown in by the Second Miss."

The servant told the truth without any emotion in his tone, and it seemed that he was used to it.

When Prime Minister Su heard that his daughter treated Cuicui in such a way, he was frightened. On the way here, he thought that Yue girl didn't kill Cuicui, so she didn't seem to be a cruel person.

If, as a father, I could be a little more humble, Miss Yue would surely forgive me.

Now seeing Cuicui's miserable state, the Prime Minister's heart was hanging in the air with fear. A chill spread through the soles of his feet to his whole body, and he shivered violently.

"Prime Minister, this Cuicui..." Seeing the Prime Minister staring at Cuicui without saying anything, Butler Su asked in a low voice.

"Let him out and follow me to the general's mansion." Prime Minister Su's eyes narrowed. So what if he was cruel? After all, he was still her biological father.
