Chapter 189 Su Xiaoxiao's Best Wingman
The emperor thought with hatred, how could Zhao Antai be so lucky, how could Xiaoxiao, who was fearless, listen to her so much.
He picked up Xiaoxiao and sat on the dragon chair together, and said patiently: "Xiaoxiao, don't listen to your grandfather's nonsense, as long as you want to come, you can come to the palace anytime."
Su Xiaoxiao heard what the emperor said, and said with a bitter face: "It's not that I don't want to come, but I really can't come. My family can't leave me for a moment."
The emperor laughed: "You are such a little kid, but my family can't leave you."
The emperor's ruthless ridicule angered Su Xiaoxiao was shocked. She said angrily, "Empress mother-in-law, I work so hard, isn't it all because of you!"
Gu Huaiyu was shocked. Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, you are so bold. Father is very good to you, but he is first of all the emperor, the highest authority in the world. Is he really that important? Gu Huaiyu has never seen anyone talk to father like this. Xiaoxiao's words might make father think that the Su and Zhao families usually talk about him like this. This is very disrespectful.
Gu Huaiyu quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Father, please don't argue with Xiaoxiao. She doesn't even know how to judge anything and what she says is not reliable."
The emperor was surrounded by compliments. It had been a long time since anyone spoke to him like this. What's more, the person in question was Su Xiaoxiao, their Dashuo's lucky star. He was very happy to hear that.
Without even raising her eyelids, she replied to Gu Huaiyu directly: "It's okay." Then she continued to tease Su Xiaoxiao: "Why do you blame me for everything? Tell me what happened?"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned and accused the emperor of all his evil deeds: "The emperor asked my father to go to the Western Territory to deal with the puppet army. My mother was worried about my father and didn't eat or sleep. My brother and I asked my grandmother to persuade her, but who knew that my grandmother and mother would start crying and cry more and more fiercely." In fact
, it was not the emperor's fault that Su Bowen went to the Western Territory. He insisted on going, but everyone knew how dangerous the Western Territory was. It was understandable that Zhao Wanyue was worried about her husband. But it was a bit too much for Xu to cry with her.
When the emperor thought of this, he asked, "Why is your grandmother crying so hard instead of trying to persuade your mother? Aren't you just causing trouble?"
Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "Don't mention it. My grandmother says every day that my uncle is a fool. Other people who help with disaster relief only come back in a month or two, but he's been gone for almost a year and asks for money every day, but it's a thankless task. She started crying while talking about this. 'Emperor, why don't you give me some money and I'll give it to my grandmother. She must be crying because my uncle took her money.'"
Su Xiaoxiao asked the emperor for money. It was so nice. Although it was funny, the emperor's expression became more serious. He asked, "What does your uncle want the money for?"
Su Xiaoxiao raised her head and thought for a while and said, "I remember now. Mother said it was to buy food and clothes for the children in the disaster area. Xiaoxiao's New Year's money was also used."
Su Xiaoxiao had an innocent look on her face. Her expression showed a hint of heartache. She was really heartbroken: "What I contributed was more than just the New Year's money. I also gave all the money that was kept by the Netherworld to my uncle for disaster relief. How could my uncle, who is an old fool, be so corrupt?" 】
Gu Huaiyu listened to Su Xiaoxiao's complaints and automatically filtered out the fact that Su Xiaoxiao stole the stolen money from the Netherworld Gate without permission. He just looked at Su Xiaoxiao with admiration. Xiaoxiao was such a money-loving person that she was willing to spend money for the people in the disaster area. How could Lord Zhao, such an upright person, embezzle the disaster relief money?
He realized this, and how could his father not understand it? He had to get to know Su Xiaoxiao again. With just a few words, he removed most of the emperor's suspicion of Zhao Hongye.
But as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, Gu Huaiyu found that he was wrong. Su Xiaoxiao made the emperor's suspicion even more serious.
The emperor looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile, but his expression was complicated: "Xiaoxiao, who told you to say that just now?"
Gu Huaiyu felt that it was not good, his father's suspicion had come back again.
Su Xiaoxiao looked innocent: "Xiaoxiao knows it herself, Xiaoxiao also knows that my uncle will be fine, my grandfather said that the empress mother-in-law also, Ming what dance, will definitely find out the truth. The empress mother-in-law, you can dance, dance for Xiaoxiao, okay?"
Su Xiaoxiao pulled the emperor's dragon robe and acted coquettishly.
The emperor was confused, what a mess.
Gu Huaiyu smiled: "Xiaoxiao, you should study hard. Is what Mr. Zhao said wise and powerful?"
Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head and said in a daze: "It seems so. Grandfather said so many things that I couldn't understand every day. How could I remember them ?"
The emperor finally let go of his worries and secretly blamed himself for being mean. What else could Su Xiaoxiao remember besides eating? How could he doubt her?
Su Xiaoxiao saw that the emperor's brows were relaxed, and laughed in his heart: "You want to trick me? You are dreaming. If I wasn't afraid of delaying my cousin's exam, I would have left the emperor uncle alone for a few days, and even the good and the bad people couldn't tell the difference. 】
Gu Huaiyu knew Su Xiaoxiao's purpose, how could he bear not to lend a helping hand to her, he asked: "Since Mr. Zhao believes that your uncle is fine, why is your grandmother crying?"
"Crying for my cousin!" Su Xiaoxiao blurted out.
【Otherwise, why do I like the prince so much? You are asking all the same questions, you really have the same taste. 】
Gu Huaiyu's mouth twitched, Xiaoxiao's cultural level really needs to be improved, this is called tacit understanding, how can it become the same taste.
Forget it, forget it, it makes Xiaoxiao so cute, it's okay to be smelly, being with Xiaoxiao, the smell is precious enough.
He then asked, "Why is your eldest cousin involved again?"
Su Xiaoxiao answered every question, "My eldest cousin is going to take the imperial examination. When my grandmother heard that he couldn't pass, she cried. In my opinion, she should be happy. Examinations are not fun."
Gu Huaiyu was afraid that the emperor would not understand Xiaoxiao's little thoughts, so he translated considerately, "So that's how it is. Your eldest cousin is Lord Zhao's biological son. As the son of a criminal, he cannot take the imperial examination. Don't worry, after the case is investigated clearly, your eldest cousin can still take the examination. It's just a matter of waiting another three years."
Gu Huaiyu was so angry . Su Xiaoxiao didn't know that Gu Huaiyu was helping her, and she immediately got angry: "Brother Prince, aren't you sitting? How can you talk without back pain? In three years, my cousin's classmates have all married and had children!"
Gu Huaiyu didn't know what this had to do with him sitting or standing, but he still conscientiously blocked Su Xiaoxiao's wingman: "Three years is indeed a bit long, but if your uncle really commits a crime, your cousin won't be able to take the exam in the future."
