Chapter 211 Su Cheng, Don’t Forget Me
It was rare to see the little fox being humiliated. Xie Suzhou lowered his head and laughed, his thin lips curled slightly, "Just kidding."
Su Cheng came back to his senses, his eyes suddenly became clear, he glared at him secretly, and kept cursing in his heart.
Damn Xie Suzhou!
Black-hearted dumplings, completely morally lost!
The next moment, a man's deep laughter was heard in the room.
Su Cheng was shocked and suddenly realized that he had unconsciously said what was in his heart.
"You are really different." Xie Suzhou propped himself up and looked at her, his eyes full of smiles. "Everyone else called me heartless, but you said I was black-hearted."
Speak more quietly, is it glorious?
Su Cheng's body was tense and she pursed her lips tightly, fearing that the person in front of her would suddenly turn against her and her life would be in danger.
"You are very afraid of me." Xie Suzhou raised his eyebrows and asked firmly, "Why?"
Why...
He actually asked himself why?
Su Cheng frowned and asked softly, "Don't you know how many people you're going to kill every day after you take the throne? Once you have the killing intent, even the emperor can't stop you."
Xie Suzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was ready to listen attentively.
"Future generations have spoken ill of you. Ever since you reached the pinnacle of power, second only to the emperor, you've gone on a killing spree. Leveraging your position as a favorite of the emperor, you've practically reshuffled the entire palace, replacing everyone with your subordinates."
"I killed only treacherous officials and traitors." The smile in Xie Suzhou's eyes faded a little, and he said in a deep voice, "In the court, the emperor plays the good guy, so naturally someone else has to play the bad guy. Without the emperor's order, how could I act openly? The new officials who entered the court ostensibly obeyed my orders, but in reality, they were all Yan Ci's men."
"When a new emperor ascends the throne, he naturally replaces officials who previously disapproved of him. But if the emperor were to do these things, ordering the execution of his ministers, wouldn't that make him a stubborn and incompetent ruler?"
Xie Suzhou lowered his eyes, a smile still on his lips. "I don't think I'm a good person. I have indeed killed countless people. No matter how others slander and insult me, I will accept it."
But even so, Su Cheng clearly sensed a hint of bitterness in his eyes, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. "Actually...actually, you're not that bad. You've revised the Chu laws, understood the people's sentiments, and reformed and lowered taxes...I was just angry and said the wrong thing. I'm sorry."
Seeing the apology in her eyes, Xie Suzhou pursed his lips and chuckled, muttering softly, "No wonder he likes you."
"What?"
Su Cheng raised her eyes to look at him, but her vision suddenly darkened for a moment. The handsome face suddenly came closer, and his thin lips with a hint of coolness covered her earlobe, making her shiver all over.
Xie Suzhou looked at her gradually reddening face, and a smile slowly spread across his lips. "This is compensation for your rude words to me just now."
He didn't have time to say anything, because Ah Ming had been staying in his room painting pictures every day since he woke up from his dream.
I had accidentally glanced at those portraits, and they were all of the same girl.
The bright and charming woman might be leaning against a willow tree holding a storybook, or squatting by the lake washing clothes, or fighting with bandits with a long stick.
The girl in the painting is only wearing a plain green long dress, her eyes are always curved into crescents, and she smiles at everyone she sees.
It was probably because they had met each other several times in dreams, and Ah Ming couldn't help but fall into it.
But Xie Suzhou is not a talkative person.
Su Cheng raised his eyes to look at him, and before he had dissipated his panic, he heard the person in front of him say something.
"Su Cheng, don't forget me."
He saw the girl in Ah Ming's dream with his own eyes, accompanied his mother along the path of Qingyun Lake, and drank and chatted with his grandfather until dawn the next day.
This trip is enough.
After he finished speaking, Xie Suzhou closed his eyes and his body suddenly tilted.
"Thank you Suzhou!" Su Cheng reacted almost instantly, stood up and hugged his sliding body. Before he could open his mouth, he heard the familiar sound of electricity in his mind again.
【Host……】
Su Cheng frowned and asked in a low voice, "You still remember to come back? Where have you been these days?"
This system is probably a rookie!
Either Xie Ming ruins the plot, or Xie Suzhou takes advantage of the opportunity.
Having put himself in danger twice, Su Cheng, no matter how good-tempered he was, was now annoyed. "First, it was Xie Ming who turned evil, and then it was Xie Suzhou who turned evil. You might as well take Xie Jinyu with you and just kill me with a bottle of poison!"
【I'm sorry...I'm sorry, host.】
The current in my head was intermittent, and I sounded very weak.
[It's not that I'm weak... It's that Xie Suzhou's mental strength is truly formidable. I've been observing the three male protagonists in the original book, fearing a repeat of Xie Ming's previous collapse. The other two were fine and never noticed me... But he was the only one who noticed, and he used his mental strength to push me down.]
Su Cheng was furious. He helped the unconscious Xie Suzhou to a chair nearby. "If you can't even protect the host you choose, what's the point of having a system? It keeps breaking down again and again. Why don't you just kill me right now and throw me into the animal realm? It's better than living in fear here all day."
[Host, rest assured, this will never happen again. I have reported this to the higher authorities and have completely severed the connection with the small world. No one will harm the host anymore.]
Su Cheng pursed his lips and said nothing, looking still furious.
The system was silent for a moment, then mustered up the courage to discuss things with her.
[Host, to make amends, I have prepared an apology gift...]
It was clearly the sound of electricity, but Su Cheng still heard a hint of caution.
Su Cheng cleared his throat and said calmly, "What apology gift?"
[In the easternmost part of the Beijing suburbs, in front of Lizi Village, there is Shiming Mountain. There are two veins of gold and copper there. I have filled the host's small treasury. As long as you buy the mountain before dinner tomorrow, the veins will belong to the host.]
[Also, I can directly provide information about Xie Jinyu's biological parents.]
"Miss!"
Before Su Cheng could react, Cai Lian suddenly rushed into the room. Without even glancing at the unconscious Doctor Xie, she anxiously called out, "Miss, a servant has come home with a message saying that the Empress Dowager has verbally ordered you to come to the palace for an audience."
"Enter the palace for an audience?" Su Cheng couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously glanced at the unconscious Xie Suzhou, "Tell An Zhicheng to come and wait, we will return to the Zhao family immediately."

Shouqing Palace
"Empress Dowager, the Zhao family's legitimate daughter has been brought here."
"Really?" The Queen Mother knelt before the Buddha statue, lit the incense and raised it above her head. She bowed three times and was about to put the incense into the incense burner.
But somehow, the incense in her hand suddenly broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
The Queen Mother's face turned stern, and her gaze fell on the three incense sticks, her eyes unclear.
"Where is the Zhao family's legitimate daughter?"
"In reply to the Queen Mother, I am waiting outside, waiting to be summoned by the Queen Mother."
"Did you bring anyone with you?"
"There is only one personal maid accompanying me."
The Queen Mother slowly straightened up, raised her foot to crush the remaining sparks on the incense, walked over to the Arhat's bed and sat down, saying gently, "Call her in."
