Chapter 132 All Smart People
"Lord Xu, is this the legendary Dali Temple prison with copper walls and iron walls?" The emperor said indifferently, but Xu Mo's legs were already trembling.
Xu Mo knew that he was in the wrong, and he quickly confessed: "Your Majesty, it was my lax management that allowed people to take advantage of the loopholes. I am willing to be punished!"
After that, he began to untie the black gauze hat on his head.
The emperor looked at him leisurely: "Lord Xu, what are you going to do?"
Xu Mo said ashamedly: "I know that I deserve to die, and I have no face to be the Dali Temple Minister. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
The emperor grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it at Xu Mo without hesitation.
Xu Mo knew that he could not hide, but he was very agile, and he dodged like a reflex, and the teacup brushed his clothes and fell down.
Xu Mo suddenly felt something was wrong. He was doomed. Originally, the emperor could have gotten rid of his anger by throwing a teacup, but now he seemed to be even angrier.
As expected, the emperor's face darkened, and his eyes flashed with coldness: "Xu Mo, what do you want to do!"
"Your Majesty, your humble servant..." Even Xu Mo, who was known for his eloquence, began to stutter.
"I entrusted you with an important task and handed over such an important place as the Dali Temple to you,
but you wanted to run away when something went wrong. You are dreaming! Get back to the Dali Temple. If you don't make the Dali Temple look decent, you will never be able to leave in this life."
Xu Mo kowtowed timidly. The emperor was really angry and so angry.
But he thought again, that's not right, the emperor is not going to punish him, Shen Tianyou's secret entry into the prison was his own fault for not supervising him, and the emperor just let him go.
Xu Mo couldn't understand why the emperor let him go so easily after leaving the palace.
Because he found out about Shen Tianyou and Liu's affair?
In fact, this was not his credit, he didn't even use any tricks, Shen Tianyou started vomiting, vomiting a lot of black stuff, and then confessed the whole story.
If he hadn't found conclusive evidence in Shen Tianyou's house, he once suspected that Shen Tianyou had other purposes and deliberately confused people.
Xu Mo stopped halfway, he was so busy dodging tea cups and apologizing that he forgot about the important business. He had reported Shen Tianyou's situation but hadn't asked the emperor what he was going to do with him.
Xu Mo was in a dilemma, should he go back or not?
It was okay for Shen Tianyou to stay in the Dali Temple for a few more days, after all, they would provide him with food and lodging.
However, Shen Tianyou's crime was not a trivial one, and his identity was rather special. The key was that he had reported the case but hadn't asked for the emperor's reply. Would the emperor be angry again?
Xu Mo was struggling in the palace, it was too difficult!
Suddenly, a little girl with a baby voice asked, "Did you lose something?"
Xu Mo looked closely and saw that the little girl opposite him was not even as tall as his knees. She was wearing an aqua dress and had two black gemstone-like eyes on her round face that were particularly eye-catching. Just by looking
at the two sky-high braids on her head that refused to obey, you could tell that this girl was an unruly master.
The palace was full of princes, and the little baby who could enter and leave the palace freely was undoubtedly the famous Princess Anle.
Although the other party was a baby, etiquette could not be abandoned, so Xu Mo still saluted obediently: [Your subordinate Xu Mo pays homage to Princess Anle! ]
The little girl ignored him, walked up to him with her short legs, and walked back and forth on the ground with her head down, imitating him.
Xu Mo asked curiously, "What are you looking for, princess?"
"I'm helping you find something!" The little girl didn't even raise her head, and tried hard to search on the ground.
Xu Mo was immediately touched. This little girl is quite kind, and she is not as willful as her mother said.
Xu Mo squatted down and said, "Thank you, princess, but I didn't lose anything."
Su Xiaoxiao put her hands on her waist and said stubbornly, "You did lose something!"
Xu Mo couldn't help laughing. The little guy was really funny and fierce.
He became interested and asked jokingly, "Then tell me what I lost?"
Su Xiaoxiao raised her little head and said, "You lost your courage. If you can't find it, you dare not go to see the emperor mother-in-law!"
The smile on Xu Mo's face gradually solidified. It was so embarrassing that his thoughts were guessed by a child who was still drinking milk.
He is well-known for his ability to hide his true colors. With his excellent expression management skills, he intimidated many prisoners.
"How did you know that?" Xu Mo asked unwillingly.
The young man said word by word: "Your brows are wrinkled, not as pretty as before, and you keep looking at the palace of the emperor's mother-in-law."
Su Xiaoxiao looked serious, but she complained in her heart: [You are stupid, you keep muttering "go back or go back" in your mouth, and a fool can hear it. ]
Gu Huaiyu just taught Gu Huaian a word, and turned around to find that Su Xiaoxiao was gone, so he had to come to look for her in person.
He happened to see this scene.
Based on his understanding of Su Xiaoxiao, she would rather lie down than sit, and would rather sit than stand. She would rather give up a table of snacks to go out. She must have her reasons.
So he stood where he was and did not move forward, wanting to see what the eccentric Su Xiaoxiao would do this time.
Xu Mo, who was opposite her, was a young genius who won the imperial examinations and was particularly good at solving cases.
His identity was not simple either. Her mother was the younger sister of the current queen dowager.
Although the queen dowager was not the biological mother of the emperor and the eldest princess, she supported the emperor without hesitation, and the emperor respected the queen dowager very much. The
queen dowager had no children in her life and was very fond of Xu Mo, so the emperor was also somewhat tolerant of Xu Mo.
But Xu Mo did make a big mistake this time, so he was somewhat scared in his heart.
He was afraid that the emperor would change his mind after he returned. He didn't care about the official position, but if he was punished, it would be difficult to report to his mother, so he was hesitant.
Unexpectedly, Princess Anle said it all. Listening to Su Xiaoxiao's logical and clear analysis, Xu Mo liked this little kid very much. He liked people who were as smart as himself.
He didn't hide his emotions at all: "Princess Anle is so smart at such a young age, I like it."
Su Xiaoxiao said proudly: "Take me to see the emperor mother-in-law, and he won't be angry with you!"
Xu Mo laughed heartily, looking more handsome and energetic: "This is a good idea. The emperor dotes on Princess Anle, and that's well-known. With you as a shield, the emperor should not be angry. Thank you, Princess Anle!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, revealing two shallow ripples, but in her heart she said: [No thanks, no thanks, it's just a small matter, you will be of great use in the future. Besides, letting Shen Tianyou be brought to justice as soon as possible can be regarded as a comfort to my tragic grandmother, and revenge for my paralyzed grandfather and my father who has always mistaken my mother for mine. ]
Gu Huaiyu shook his head helplessly. Xiaoxiao had gone through this trouble just to send a death warrant to Shen Tianyou.
But I don't know how she will convince her father.
