Chapter 342 Going home?

Gu Huaiyu has been the emperor for only a few months, but the childishness between his brows has faded, and his face is very mature compared to his age. It was not

until he saw Su Xiaoxiao that he regained his original bright and charming look.

"Prince...Brother Huaiyu!" Su Xiaoxiao called him affectionately from a distance.

Since she will be asking the emperor for a favor soon, her attitude must be correct.

Gu Huaiyu took her and went in the direction of Ci'an Palace.

"I heard that you went to celebrate the birthday of old lady Chen yesterday?"

"Yeah, I met her on the way to the school!"

"Oh, when did the school and Guangyi Marquis' Mansion go by the way?"

Gu Huaiyu asked calmly.

"I don't want to go either, but those aristocratic families are too much of a bully. A marquis's mansion is not even as good as an ordinary family!"

Su Xiaoxiao said with a serious face, but she was muttering in her heart: [I don't want to go either, but I don't dare to go to school because I haven't finished my homework! ]

"So that's it!" Gu Huaiyu raised the corner of his mouth.

"Did anything interesting happen yesterday?"

"Yes, Sister Jingya is very smart. She made some strange and weird things. And Sister Jingshu, she is very knowledgeable and knows a lot. And there is Old Madam Chen, who is kind and wise. Marquis Guangyi is also the best!"

Su Xiaoxiao listed them all.

[In this case, the Crown Prince should pay attention to the Guangyi Marquisate. The Emperor has left them on the sidelines for more than ten years because the Guangyi Marquisate remained neutral. During this long process, they have remained true to their original aspirations. It is time to promote them.]

Gu Huaiyu already had an idea in his mind. He squatted down and patiently said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, my mother has been feeling unwell recently and hasn't had a good meal for many days. Can you help me persuade her, okay?"

"Okay!" Su Xiaoxiao agreed obediently, but she didn't think it would be of any use.

[The Queen didn't like the life in the deep palace in the first place. The Emperor has hurt her feelings again and again. She has been unhappy! 】

Gu Huaiyu sighed imperceptibly when he heard this. How could he not know how hard his mother felt? All his father's concubines were in the same boat.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at Ci'an Palace.

The Empress Dowager's maid was persuading her, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor has specially ordered the kitchen to make your favorite millet porridge. Please eat a little!"

"All of you please leave. Let me do it!" Gu Huaiyu dismissed everyone, took the porridge from the maid himself, and wanted to feed the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager forced herself to cheer up, put on a smile and said, "I am not old enough to be served by the Emperor. I will do it myself!"

The Empress Dowager is not even forty years old yet, but she looks haggard, like an old person.

Su Xiaoxiao was distressed, she took the Queen Mother's hand and said: "Queen Mother, you have to get well soon!"

While saying this, she began to transfer healing power to the Queen Mother.

However, the power only flowed on the surface, and was not absorbed by the Queen Mother's body at all.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself: [How could this happen? How could my healing power be useless? Unless the Queen Mother has a knot in her heart and wants to die. Could it be that she knows that her own brother was killed by the dog emperor's people, she feels guilty and wants to die to atone for her sins?]

Gu Huaiyu originally thought that his mother was not very old, and even if she was depressed, her life would not be in danger, but now it seems that the matter is very serious.

My father killed my uncle, how is this possible? Isn't it an accident?

Su Xiaoxiao tried a little harder, but it was of no avail.

[The Empress Dowager is determined to die, and I am powerless to save her even though I have all the skills. What should I do?] Su Xiaoxiao was getting anxious.

Gu Huaiyu was even more anxious, but he didn't dare to show it too much, for fear that the Empress Dowager would worry.

The two of them talked with the Empress Dowager for a while before leaving Ci'an Palace.

Su Xiaoxiao was worried all the way. Finally, she made up her mind and thought: [No, I have to tell my brother the Emperor about the Empress Dowager's aunt!]

But when she raised her head, she didn't know how to start. She couldn't just say that your mother is going to die!

"Xiaoxiao, do you have anything to tell me?" In front of Su Xiaoxiao, he never called himself "I".

"Brother Emperor, the Queen Mother is very ill!" Su Xiaoxiao finally said it out. "She has a heart disease, no panacea will work for her!"

Thinking of Brother Emperor who was about to lose his mother, Su Xiaoxiao started crying first.

The sadness in Gu Huaiyu's eyes turned into firm strength: "Ordinary medicines are useless, so let's find medicine that can cure our mother's heart disease."

Su Xiaoxiao was also infected by Gu Huaiyu. Yes, heart disease needs to be cured by heart medicine. She blurted out: "Aunt Queen Mother's heart disease is the death of her brother!"

Gu Huaiyu had heard it a long time ago, so he was naturally not surprised at all. He squatted down and asked: "Xiaoxiao, can you help me find out what my uncle's greatest wish is?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "This is not difficult, I'll ask someone!"

Although Gu Huaiyu's uncle has been dead for several years, the trees, flowers and plants where he lived are still there.

Soon, Su Xiaoxiao found out that Gu Huaiyu's uncle grew up outside the Great Wall with his grandfather when he was young. He always knew that his sister was unhappy. His dream was to wait for his sister to escape from the palace, raise herds of cattle, sheep and horses outside the Great Wall, and ride freely without worries.

However, how can the queen mother understand her uncle's intentions, and how can she let her mother leave the palace smoothly without arousing suspicion from the world.

This matter cannot be done too deliberately, because the queen mother is always thinking about others in her heart and always makes things difficult for herself.

Su Xiaoxiao obviously understood Gu Huaiyu's worries. She patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me! You just need to find a way to get Aunt Empress Dowager to leave the palace and visit her parents' home!"

"Xiaoxiao, do you have a plan?" Gu Huaiyu still couldn't believe it.

"You'll know when the time comes!" Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be mysterious.

"Aunt Empress Dowager, let's go out of the palace for a walk?" In a blink of an eye, Su Xiaoxiao was already acting coquettishly with the Empress Dowager in Ci'an Hall. The Empress Dowager

's eyes were dull. Every night, her brother came into her dreams covered in blood, asking her to leave quickly.

If she hadn't fallen in love with Emperor Xiaode, her brother would be fine now. Unfortunately, Emperor Xiaode is now like a lunatic, and she can't bring herself to kill her enemy.

She was tortured by such pain every day!

"Xiaoxiao, let your ninth brother go with you. I can't leave the palace!" The queen mother was so weak that she couldn't even speak.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled the queen mother's sleeve and said, "Go ahead. The lotus flowers in the Qi Mansion are just right. The emperor has already given his permission. You take my carriage and we'll go home!"

"Go home?" The queen mother felt a sharp pain in her heart. Does she still have a home?

She is trapped in this palace for the rest of her life. Even if she dies, she will be trapped in the imperial mausoleum and will never be free for the rest of her life.

"Are Master Qi and his wife already waiting?" Su Xiaoxiao said again.
