Chapter 80 Even the Emperor Emeritus Calls Her Sister Qingbao
My maternal uncle is, after all, my mother's family.
Both the second and third uncles switched sides after Qingbao took action.
If Qingbao were to intervene this time, her maternal uncle might switch sides and side with her mother.
But who knew?
Si He shook her head: "Why should I blame you? Qingbao, your uncle is stubborn. Even if you save him, he won't remember your kindness."
"On the contrary, you will help Si Yao get away with it, saying that Si Yao did not do it on purpose, and that such a person is not worth saving."
"That's why your mother brought you back, hoping you wouldn't think so much."
Even if her grandmother and second and third brothers wanted to blame her, they would blame her for taking Qingbao away, not for Qingbao not taking action.
Apart from her grandmother, the other members of the Si family were not very important to her.
Even her second brother, who had always helped Qingbao, seemed to her like an ordinary person with no ill intentions.
There was no particular emotion involved.
“My uncle won’t die anytime soon.” Qingbao smiled and nodded.
Because his time has not yet come.
He hasn't reached the point where he'll be betrayed and poisoned by the person he loves and is closest to.
Just then.
The gatekeeper sent a message through a maid.
"Madam, His Majesty has sent an imperial edict."
Sihe thought that the Fifth Princess's request for her had come to fruition, and immediately stood up abruptly.
"Qingbao, let's go over there."
She picked up Qingbao and went to the front hall.
lobby.
An arrogant eunuch, accompanied by two palace servants, held up the Emperor's token and announced:
"General Su Xiao has returned and his injuries have healed. A triumphant investiture ceremony will be held in ten days. All officials and their families must attend. This is the imperial decree!"
It was so fast!
Si He accepted the imperial decree and expressed his gratitude. He then gave the eunuchs some money and sent them away, his thoughts remaining a mystery.
In the evening.
Another servant came running over.
"It is like this, Madam. I originally intended to deliver the message to the General, but it would be better to ask you first."
"Go ahead," Si He said calmly.
The maidservant, panting, said, "Madam Si sent word to us to inform the general that Madam Yao has been sued by Old Madam Si for attempted murder."
"The government sentenced Madam Yao to three years in prison. Madam Si is begging the general to intervene and save Madam Yao."
"Madam, should we tell the General about this?"
Sihe and Qingbao exchanged a glance, their eyes showing no surprise whatsoever.
Obviously.
They could have guessed this outcome.
Qingbao said naively, "My father is going to be conferred a title in ten days. What if you tell him now and he gets so angry that he can't go to the ceremony?"
Su Xiao's condition was not good after he woke up.
To this day, he has not been able to step out of his room even once.
Qingbao thought that if he was still this weak in ten days, she could help him.
After all, Su Xiao's investiture ceremony was the time for the wronged souls to seek justice from Si Yao.
The maid was startled and looked at Si He.
Si He: "From now on, whatever Qingbao says will be what I say."
"Yes." The maidservant tactfully withdrew.
The mother and daughter smiled at each other.
"Qingbao, ten days will pass quickly. Is there anything else we need to prepare to ensure everything goes smoothly?"
Qingbao pondered for a moment.
She hadn't thought of it at first, but later, when she reflected on her uncle's life, she suddenly thought of someone.
She jumped off the bed, muttered to herself, and walked out the door.
"Mother, you don't need to come along. Qingbao will be back soon."
She wanted to go and take a look at the Wang family.

late at night.
Inside the palace.
The emperor had just fallen asleep when he faintly heard someone calling him.
He felt as if he had entered a void world, and standing in front of him was a person also dressed in a yellow robe.
"Chenkun..." The emperor was startled when the man turned around.
"Father...Father, how...how did you come back?"
That's the retired emperor!
The retired emperor who died ten years ago!
The retired emperor floated up to him, reached out and pinched his ear, "I can only come up once, just to tell you one thing."
"My sister Qing has returned to the human world from the underworld. She has a round face and two little pigtails in her hair. She's so cute. You must not disobey her after you find her."
"He who wins her heart wins the world. If you don't do a good job, don't force me to come back and take you down with me."
After saying that, the phantom vanished instantly.
The emperor awoke from a nightmare, his body covered in a cold sweat.
"No, Father, where is your sister?!"
