The little boy muttered curses, saying that even if the emperor wanted to die, he would have to wait until the crown prince returned.

Xiao Dezi was so frightened that his forehead was covered in sweat, knowing how formidable this little devil was.

But you can criticize the emperor all you want, but don't keep telling him to die. That's too much of a blow!

What if the emperor gets really angry at the little baby's scolding and decides to chop the little baby up with a wave of his hand?

But even though the emperor was scolded, he was secretly pleased.

This little bundle of joy may have said some harsh things, but every word he uttered was out of concern for me.

Fortunately, Su Muyao couldn't hear the emperor's inner thoughts, otherwise she would have slapped him on the forehead with the sole of her shoe.

How did you come to the conclusion that I, the princess, care about you?

She simply thought the emperor was stupid, and that if he wanted to die, he should wait until the little prince was a bit older before kicking the bucket.

Seeing that the Emperor was much better, Su Muyao went straight to the table without any hesitation, took a piece of osmanthus cake from the table, and chewed it.

"The cook who makes osmanthus cake, could you give me one? It's really delicious."

Xiao Dezi was truly impressed by the little princess. One second she was standing with her hands on her hips, pointing at the emperor and cursing, and the next second she was smiling and eating osmanthus cake, asking for someone else's cook.

The Empress smiled and said, "Alright, as long as you like it, that's fine. Xiao Dezi, go to the Imperial Kitchen and see who made this osmanthus cake."

"Tell her to pack her things; she'll go back to the princess's residence with her later."

Xiao Dezi nodded and went to carry it out, while the emperor went to the Taoist priest who had been beaten beyond recognition and scolded him: "You actually dared to deceive even me, you really don't know what death is."

The Taoist priest begged for mercy repeatedly: "This stuff, if eaten in moderation, can still cure many ailments."

However, it would be harmful if you took too much, Your Majesty. I really didn't know you were the one who wanted to take it!

When they first approached me, I thought it was just a wealthy family's gentleman who would eat there a couple of times normally, considering the price!

I really didn't mean to deceive the Emperor, please spare my life.

Su Muyao felt a little choked while eating the osmanthus cake, so she quickly drank some tea.

Seeing the Taoist priest on the ground, whose body was still oozing blood, and who was crying with tears streaming down his face, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

The final outcome was that all the fake Taoist priests were caught and their money was distributed to the affected villagers in the surrounding area.

After all, those talismanic waters weren't good stuff either.

After the Taoist priest was dragged away, the emperor approached Su Muyao with great enthusiasm.

"Eat more if you like, and try the other cakes too."

Su Muyao nodded, ignoring the Emperor.

After a long while, the emperor couldn't help but ask, "Yaoyao! That longevity elixir you mentioned, does your master have it?"

The little dumpling slowly and methodically finished eating the half-piece of osmanthus cake in his hand before raising his head to look at the Emperor.

Yes, what's wrong?

Upon hearing this, the emperor nearly jumped for joy: "Um... um, could you give my uncle one?"

Su Muyao looked the emperor up from his feet: "I see you're still as vigorous as ever, why would you need a longevity pill?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face immediately fell: "Alas, you don't know the truth, I'm really not up to it!"

After saying this, Su Muyao looked at a certain part of the emperor in shock.

Then she curled her lip and said, "It's normal that it's not possible. Just think about all those beauties in your harem, how could you possibly manage them all?"

The emperor was first stunned, then his old face turned red. He never thought that a little baby could say such a thing.

"you!"

The Empress, standing behind, chuckled and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, hahaha."

"Yaoyao, what I mean is that my body really can't take it from reviewing memorials all night."

Su Muyao nodded: "Yes, I understand, I understand everything."

Emperor... what do you know?

Immediately afterwards, Su Muyao took out a longevity pill from her sleeve.

The emperor's eyes widened; he could smell the strong medicinal fragrance emanating from the elixir.

Most importantly, after smelling this fragrance, I feel instantly clear-headed.

"This, this is the Longevity Pill?" she said, reaching for the item in the little dumpling's hand.

The little ball of milk then immediately shrank back.

"This stuff uses medicinal herbs that are hundreds of years old, and they are extremely expensive. Most importantly, they are priceless and unavailable. You can only find them in remote, uninhabited mountains."

The emperor nodded repeatedly, "Then tell me what you want? Is it money or something else?"

Su Muyao was displeased when she heard him mention the money in advance.

"How dare you mention money? I don't know when you'll be able to pay back all the money you owe me!"

I want two well-located shops in the city; find a way to get them for me.

"Here, take this. How does it look?"

What did the emperor think was a request? Turns out it was just this, and he quickly nodded: "No problem, I'll take care of it."

Su Muyao nodded after listening and handed over the pill.

Then she took out another one from her sleeve and came to the Empress: "Aunt, this is something Yao Yao specially prepared for you. I was originally planning to come to the palace in a while and bring it to you."

The Empress looked flattered and surprised, but ultimately accepted the offer.

Upon seeing this, the emperor curled his lip.

He not only received a severe scolding, but also had to give up his shop before the little girl reluctantly gave it to him.

Why is it the Empress's turn? She didn't say anything, but the little bundle of joy offered it directly.

What? Am I the only one who's disliked?

Su Muyao clapped her hands after handing out the pills, then turned to leave. Xiao Dezi and the cook came over as well.

Su Muyao was surprised to find that the cook looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

After the cook first paid her respects to the Emperor and Empress, and then to Su Muyao, she stood aside quietly awaiting instructions.

The little girl looked the woman in front of her up and down and nodded: "Not bad, the cooks in this palace are all very beautiful!"

The emperor's face darkened when he heard this. He asked if she could have a cook. The cook was sent over.

That little mouth of hers is still chattering away, doesn't she see the Empress is still right in front of her? Really, isn't she just asking for trouble?

What's your name?

The cook timidly raised her head and replied, "My name is Li Liu. Everyone in the imperial kitchen calls me Liu Niang."

The little dumpling nodded: "Would you be willing to work in my household from now on?"

The cook nodded quickly and said, "This servant is willing."

Of course, I wouldn't dare say I was unwilling, since Eunuch De had already said it was the Emperor's will.

"Let's go then!"

After Su Muyao left with the cook, the emperor couldn't wait to look at the longevity pill in his hand and swallowed hard.

The imperial physician standing nearby then spoke up, "Your Majesty, should this elixir be tested again?"

The emperor should have kept quiet; his words only provoked a roar from the imperial physicians, who shouted, "What can your Imperial Hospital possibly find out?"
