Chapter 99: Sympathy for the Same Sickness

Although Pei Mingliang's words were completely to curry favor with the emperor, there was no better explanation now. The emperor was more certain that Su Xiaoxiao was the lucky star of the Great Shuo Dynasty. Gu Huaiyu said it clearly that they wanted Su Xiaoxiao, and Gu Huaian was the one who insisted on going. The discovery of the gold mine had nothing to do with him. The

royal family must capture this noble Su Xiaoxiao. But how to capture her? Give her a marriage. No matter which son ascends the throne in the future, Su Xiaoxiao will be the empress.

As for the matter of being the empress, everyone has their own opinions. The Su family may not be willing to lock their daughter up in the imperial city for her whole life. Besides, Xiaoxiao is not even one year old. It is too hasty to do so.

Make him a princess, bring her into the palace and raise her under the name of the empress? She has both parents and holds her in the palm of her hand. This is too overbearing, and Su Xiaoxiao might be unhappy.

The emperor is in a dilemma. How can he legitimately let Xiaoxiao be related to the royal family and let her always protect the Gu family's foundation?

After thinking about it, he still can't come up with a good idea. Then he will give her favors. Su Bowen's identity is questionable. The Tang family doesn't care, but they can't stop the gossip. So he will give the Su family some more favors.

After the emperor figured it out, he felt suddenly enlightened. He is so lucky to have met Su Xiaoxiao, this little lucky treasure.

The emperor personally sent Su Xiaoxiao back to the Duke of Zhen's Mansion. After just one night, Zhao Wanyue looked haggard, with sunken eyes and a dull expression.

The moment she saw Su Xiaoxiao, she finally cried: "Xiaoxiao, my child, are you going to make me anxious to death?"

Su Xiaoxiao was shocked: [I just didn't come home for one night, and my mother is worried like this. What should I do if I want to go out and play? I should just get used to it! ]

Zhao Wanyue felt so upset. What is this little girl talking about? What does it mean to get used to it? She just got home and she's thinking about going out to play when she can walk?

If the emperor was not still here, Zhao Wanyue would have let Su Xiaoxiao have a taste of the bamboo stick fried meat, but it was impossible to think about it carefully. This time she was kidnapped and finally found, so how could she be beaten?

But this child has a wild temper. She must be guided well in the future and don't cause trouble.

Zhao Wanyue was thinking about it, and the emperor said: "Madam Zhao, Xiaoxiao has made a great contribution this time. She discovered a gold mine for our Dashuo. You have raised this child very well!"

Zhao Wanyue was confused. It was really strange that she could make contributions after being kidnapped.

After the emperor left, Su Changhe kept talking: "Mother, Xiaoxiao really did a great deed. She picked up a piece of raw gold for the emperor, but the emperor didn't understand what she meant. She used a sword to cut a big hole in the mountain, revealing the gold inside."

Zhao Wanyue's face sank: "What, Xiaoxiao also used a sword, where did the sword come from?"

"It's the one in her arms. Xiaoxiao saw this sword and insisted on going to the stage!"

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and thought: [I don't want to take out the sword, mother will definitely take it away. That's the sword my master gave me. ]

Zhanyue protested in her arms: [I followed you a thousand years ago, you have no conscience. 】

【A thousand years? You’re lying, I don’t remember anything! 】

Xiaohong advised: 【Don’t bother, I’ve told her eight hundred times about how we met, and she always said I was bragging! 】

Zhao Wanyue didn’t understand what Su Xiaoxiao meant by a thousand years, she only knew that Xiaoxiao was still young and couldn’t play with sharp things, so she said: “Xiaoxiao, give the sword to me and I’ll keep it for you. I’ll return it to you when you grow up.”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head like a wave drum: 【No, no, I’ll keep the Moon-Chopping Sword myself. It’ll be sad if I give it to you.

Zhao Wanyue searched her body but couldn't find any trace of the sword. Xiaoxiao kept talking about space, but she didn't understand. But she knew that Xiaoxiao's hidden things would definitely not be found. Zhao Wanyue felt sorry for her daughter, so

she had to give in: "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me, but Xiaoxiao can't play with it, it's too dangerous!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded obediently: "Don't worry, mother, I will never let you know when I play.

Zhao Wanyue: "..."

Forget it, she didn't know what kind of day she spent outside. She quickly gave her a bath and a good meal. She didn't know if she had eaten anything that day.

Su Xiaoxiao took a bath, ate something, and went to bed. She slept until noon the next day.

Zhao Wanyue was so distressed. This child had committed such a great sin!

Gu Huai was almost fainted from anger. He had never suffered such a great sin in his life.

Although he was not favored in the palace, he had never been as cruel as he was today. All the flesh on his hands was gone, and three ribs were broken. The heart-piercing pain made him unable to live or die. If

Shen Qingyu had not used the secret technique of the magic sect to save his life, he would have passed away by now. What

's more terrible is that the people sent to transfer the gold bricks reported that Longmian Mountain was heavily guarded by troops, and they could not take out any of the gold bricks they had stored.

He said hysterically: "If you can't take it out, blow it up. We must not let the dog emperor get it easy!"

The subordinate's knees went weak: "I am incompetent. Martial law has been imposed within a hundred miles of Longmian Mountain. Our people can't get through!"

"Waste, a bunch of waste!" he roared angrily.

Shen Qingyu skillfully wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel: "Your Highness, calm down. It's useless to be angry now. Let's think of other ways."

Gu Huaizhi was furious: "The funds for my rebellion went into the pocket of the dog emperor. What can I use to make a comeback!"

Shen Qingyu didn't persuade him. She was so angry: "It's all Su Xiaoxiao's fault. She is a dead star." If it weren't for Su Xiaoxiao, Gu Huaiyu would have died long ago, and the other princes would not be much better. Gu Huaizhi was the destined prince. Soon they would be able to clear the obstacles and become the most powerful people in the Great Shuo Dynasty.

But now, they have nothing.

Shen Qingyu's eyes flashed with ferocity: "Then are you just going to give up on yourself, watching the dog emperor being praised by everyone, watching the Su family rise, and letting people call you the son of a witch forever?"

"Pah!" A loud slap hit Shen Qingyu's face.

Gu Huaizhi hated it most when people said he was the child of a witch.

"Who do you think you are? Why do you give me orders? Are you better than me? The daughter of a lowly maid should be despised by others!"

Shen Qingyu laughed: "Yes, I am the same as you. I was born wrong. They look down on us and laugh at us. We are worse than bugs. I am nothing, but I am the only one who is willing to stand with you and overthrow those injustices!"
