Xiao Ye naturally noticed Gao Changhong's hostile gaze, but he sneered inwardly and ignored him.
Su Liluo said with annoyance, "Regent, please take all these things back with you. I don't need them."
"Your Highness, this is all from my heart. I brought it here, so it is yours and I will not take it away."
Gao Changhong said shamelessly.
Su Liluo pursed her lips, lowered her eyes slightly, and glanced at it.
Forget it, we can sell these for money after he leaves!
It would be good to give her the pharmacies under her management to run, so that more poor people could enjoy free medical care.
So she didn't say no again.
"Your Highness, you are now my son-in-law. Your Highness now has not only General Su as her adoptive father, but also me as her biological father."
"If you ever dare to bully her, I will definitely stand up for her. And you'd better not have any other women in your harem besides the Crown Princess."
Seeing that Su Liluo no longer rejected him, Gao Changhong turned his attention to Xiao Ye and began to lecture him.
Xiao Ye was not angry about this. In his opinion, regardless of the past grievances between the two of them, or whether this person was good or bad, the current regent, even if Luo'er did not admit it, was indeed on Su Liluo's side.
However, Su Liluo was unhappy with Gao Changhong's words. Her expression, which had just calmed down, suddenly darkened again.
She chuckled lightly: "Anyone in this world can bully me, betray me, but my husband has never betrayed me. Regent, you shouldn't be saying that, it should be my husband."
"Your Highness, most men in this world are prone to changing their minds. Don't be fooled by his sweet words."
Seeing how much Su Liluo trusted Xiao Ye, Gao Changhong couldn't help but get anxious.
His daughter trusts the Crown Prince so much; what if he betrays her in the future? Wouldn't she be heartbroken?
"Oh? Is the Regent talking about himself?"
"This king..."
Gao Changhong met Su Liluo's smiling eyes and felt a little guilty.
Yes, he really did wrong them, mother and daughter.
"Alright, the Regent has delivered his gifts, so we won't keep you company any longer. Guards, see them out!"
Su Liluo didn't want to say more to him. Anyway, the Emperor's decree was for them to meet the Regent, and they had already done so.
"Princess!"
Gao Changhong looked anxiously at Su Liluo; he didn't want to leave yet.
But seeing the coldness on Su Liluo's face, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Oh well, there's plenty of time. Right now, Luo'er is probably still resentful of her father. He'll visit her often in the future to make it up to her.
With that thought in mind, Gao Changhong left dejectedly.

A few days later, Su Liluo checked the date and took out a Snow Lotus from her spatial storage.
“My husband, let’s go to the palace to see Father today and tell him that we have found a snow lotus in the northern desert for him.”
"You're going to give the Snow Lotus to Father?"
Xiao Ye looked at Su Liluo in surprise.
In his current view, the Snow Lotus is so precious that giving it to his somewhat philandering father is a waste.
It would be better to give it to his mother.
"Yes, my husband, don't worry. This Snow Lotus is not the only one. Yan'er and I found a place in Xinglan and picked a lot of Snow Lotus there."
"Giving the Emperor this snow lotus will prevent him from being drugged and bewitched by Prince Xiao again in the future."
She wasn't particularly filial to the emperor; rather, she was preventing Emperor Wenjian from being controlled by Prince Xiao again.
After all, she knew that once Prince Xiao lifted his confinement, he would definitely not let the matter rest.
Moreover, Zi Xing is not dead yet. Once she discovers that the ring is fake, she will also come to the capital. She needs to cut off their dream of controlling Emperor Wenjian in advance.
This snow lotus is a rare and precious plant; consuming it can prevent the harm of various poisons.
However, it doesn't actually make people live decades longer; those who are meant to die of old age will still die of old age.
When the two arrived at the palace and presented the Snow Lotus to Emperor Wenjian, the emperor was overjoyed but also worried that the Snow Lotus might be stolen.
So he immediately inquired about the method of consumption and then ate the snow lotus.
As luck would have it, not long after he ate the snow lotus, Consort Zhang came to request an audience.
"Your Majesty, you must do me justice! Waaah..."
Consort Zhang came in crying, with some handprints on her face.
"What's that smell? It stinks! You...you get away from me right now!"
As soon as Consort Zhang entered, she rushed into Emperor Wenjian's arms, thinking that he would hold her and comfort her. However, she did not expect that he would scold her with a look of disgust.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Don't you love the scent of me the most?"
Consort Zhang stared wide-eyed at Emperor Wenjian in surprise.
"How could I possibly like this smell? It's absolutely disgusting! Get away from me and don't come any closer!"
Emperor Wenjian covered his mouth and nose, pointed at Consort Zhang, and gave her instructions.
After taking the Snow Lotus, his body returned to normal, and he also forgot some of his past memories of favoring Consort Zhang.
After all, recalling that memory would make him feel disgusted.
"Your Majesty! Your words have deeply saddened me!"
Consort Zhang clutched her chest, feigning heartbreak.
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Wenjian gave a cold rebuke.
Su Liluo, standing to the side, tried hard to suppress her laughter. She found it really funny to watch the elderly Consort Zhang trying to act coquettishly in front of the Emperor like a young concubine.
Consort Zhang trembled as she was yelled at, not quite understanding why the Emperor had suddenly changed his attitude towards her.
Could it be that the Emperor was angry because I blamed him for confining Prince Xiao to his quarters for three days, ignoring him, and not letting him touch me?
right!
The Emperor is definitely angry. It seems that the tactic of feigning indifference is not entirely effective. Since the Emperor is angry, I must soften my stance as well.
Suddenly, Consort Zhang became gentle.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept you at arm's length because of Prince Xiao. I promise to serve you tonight. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Serve me in bed? Who asked you to serve me in bed?"
Emperor Wenjian suddenly raised his voice.
Why would I let Consort Zhang serve me in bed with such a strange smell?
Back then, Consort Zhang's appearance wasn't particularly outstanding. The reason she was favored was because she was confused and didn't know what was going on.
Over the years, he has hardly ever shown her any favor.
Emperor Wenjian noticed that Consort Zhang's expression was becoming increasingly strange, and remained silent for a long time.
Consort Zhang thought Emperor Wenjian had calmed down, so she mustered up her courage and crawled toward him. Just as she was about to hug Emperor Wenjian's leg and act coquettishly, she was suddenly kicked away by a strong force.
"Didn't I tell you to get lost? How dare you be so insolent!"
"Pfft! Your Majesty..."
Consort Zhang crashed into a pillar and spat out a mouthful of blood.
