Chapter 134 Su Xiao was dismissed from his post by the Emperor
Su Xiao shuddered.
"I deserve to die! I deserve to die! I didn't know their identities were real!"
Cold sweat dripped down his back, and his legs trembled.
Qingbao spoke up crisply, "Uncle Emperor, my mother told him a long time ago, but he didn't believe her. In order to force my mother to admit her mistake, he even smashed the Empress Dowager's things."
The little guy pointed to the jade pendant fragments on the ground.
The father-in-law hurriedly picked up the jade pendant fragments, his face filled with shock:
"Your Majesty, this is the Empress Dowager's personal jade pendant! Giving it to you will earn you a promotion! How could General Su dare to do that!!!"
The Emperor was both heartbroken and furious to see his mother's belongings shattered like this.
"Su Xiao!!!"
Su Xiao stared wide-eyed at the jade pendant.
"Wh...what...that...that's real?"
In an instant, all the color drained from his face.
His back went weak, and he collapsed to his knees. "How could this be..."
He lost his chance for promotion!
Two years of bloody battles couldn't compare to the speed at which this opportunity came.
He ruined it all with his own hands!
His future—
He squandered all his life's efforts with his own hands.
The ancestors of the Su family must be dying with their eyes wide open in disbelief!
Su Xiao felt a sharp pain in his lungs and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
It almost splashed onto the emperor's dragon robe.
The Emperor took a step back in disgust, "You damned thing, who gave you the audacity to offend my mother like this!"
"Guards, issue the order to dismiss Su Xiao from his post! He is unworthy to be a general!"
The guard behind him shouted "Yes!" and then restrained Su Xiao.
Su Xiao's mouth was bloodied, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
The rank of eighth-grade general was an official position his father had earned through a lifetime of military service.
Later, his father died in battle, and it was only after the emperor showed compassion that it was his turn to receive treatment.
He went to war, hoping to bring glory to the Su family and honor their name.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not receive any military merit, but he also failed to achieve his goal.
Now he can't even keep the official position left by his father!
The Su family is in danger!
He had no choice but to back down!
"Your Majesty, you may deal with me however you wish, but please do not strip me of my official position. My father died on the battlefield defending our country, and this position is the only thing he left behind."
"Your Majesty, I beg you to show leniency! I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong!!!"
Su Xiao kowtowed, his head hitting the stone slab with a loud thud.
Soon, blood appeared.
A small splatter of blood appeared.
But he felt no pain at all; instead, he worked even harder, kowtowing while crying.
"Your Majesty, I truly know I was wrong."
"Don't dismiss me, please don't!"
Fanzhi looked on with a face full of resentment.
Xia Jingheng remained expressionless, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
The Empress Dowager felt completely refreshed and finally let out a sigh of relief.
The Emperor's face was icy cold. "What does your father's achievement have to do with you? The fact that you were able to obtain your father's official position and enjoy a period of glory is already an extraordinary favor from me!"
"How dare you be so rebellious! Su Xiao, my court has no need for a fool like you!"
"Guards, take him away!"
The emperor originally wanted to execute him directly, but then he remembered that the imperial edict for divorce in Si He's hand had not yet been promulgated.
Sihe said that he would wait for an opportunity to confront the two immortals.
For the sake of the bigger picture, he had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
"Your Majesty, where are we taking him?"
The Emperor said, "Don't worry about it, just take him away."
Don't worry about where he takes it for now.
Anyway, I've been dismissed.
The plaque for General Su's Mansion was also removed and replaced with "Su Mansion"!
Su Xiao was devastated and fainted from the pain.
The Emperor smiled. "How was it, Qingbao? I did a good job, didn't I?"
"It's alright." Qingbao tilted her head and scratched her little ear.
The emperor sat down in front of the group.
Put Qingbao back on her original stone bench.
The emperor gritted his teeth and recounted everything that had just happened in the palace:
"The moment those two left, I said I wanted to come out and find you, but I didn't know where you were, so I thought I'd come to the Su family to wait for you."
"Unexpectedly, I happened to run into this scoundrel who was disrespectful to the Empress Dowager Heng'er."
Xia Jingheng looked at Si He, his tone tinged with heartache:
“Father, Su Xiao not only disrespected your son and grandmother, but also showed no respect whatsoever to his wife, Si He.”
Even when outsiders are present, he can still berate his wife.
I wonder how Sihe has managed all these years.
Si He nodded, her tone indifferent, "It's just everyday food, nothing special. He's been more restrained lately, compared to when Si Yao was alive..."
The conversation abruptly ended.
That's enough.
Everyone had already guessed what she had suffered, and felt even more sorry for her.
The emperor paused, realizing that Xia Jingheng was reminding him of something.
"Don't worry, you won't have to suffer like this for long. I have already given Sihe the imperial decree for divorce."
Xia Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving a definite reply.
With clearly defined finger joints, slowly loosen the grip slightly.
"That's good."
"I don't know why those two bitches insisted on locking you up after you suffered so much!" The Empress Dowager cursed.
Speaking of which...
Let's get down to business.
"Qingbao, today's round didn't seriously injure them; they only suffered minor losses. They'll definitely figure out what to do next when they get back. But what about us? What should we do?"
Thinking of being held hostage today, mortals are utterly powerless against their divine powers.
The emperor couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Once they return to recuperate, they may resort to coercive measures.
Everyone else except him and Qingbao is in danger.
Especially the truss.
"The next step? This is their only option. Their next step is to come out and confront us!"
Qingbao's eyes were cold and piercing, radiating the majesty of a judge.
But in their eyes...
But she was a little dumpling, sitting on the stone bench, puffing out her cheeks and wrinkling her big eyes.
simply--
What an adorable mouse!!!
The Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with pink bubbles; she desperately wanted to have Qingbao.
"So what should we do next?" the Empress Dowager asked, her voice trembling.
Qingbao put her thumb in her mouth and pondered for a moment.
"Uncle Emperor, you must make Su Xiao commit some more serious mistakes, and cut off his head next month."
The Emperor was startled: "No, you're smuggling in your own agenda!"
"Qingbao is so selfless, how could she possibly have ulterior motives?" Qingbao said angrily, hands on her hips.
But without a waist, one can only put their hands on their stomach.
If she really has ulterior motives, Su Mengmeng will be the first one she gets killed.
It's not Su Xiao at all!
"Go on," Xia Jingheng said slowly.
Qingbao: "Since those two are determined to kill the Crown Prince and prevent my mother from getting a divorce, have you considered whether Su Xiao is also very important?"
"Huh?" The emperor suddenly realized.
How could he not have thought of that?
I almost let that bastard get away with it.
Qingbao continued her analysis:
"Only if my mother and Su Xiao are husband and wife, and then the Crown Prince dies, will it be most beneficial for them. If Su Xiao dies, my mother will naturally become a widow. How could they not be anxious?"
"So, Your Majesty, you must find a way to make Su Xiao commit a capital offense, and make it known that you will kill him, so as to force those two out."
The Emperor nodded: "Understood."
"Guards, kill Su Xiao!"
Does an emperor need a reason to kill his ministers?
funny! !
