"Chang An?" Su Xin raised her head at a 45-degree angle, looking at Xiao Lin with a pleading expression.
She had never heard of this name before.
He was probably not a capable minister. Since the end of the world, Xiao Lin's control over the local areas has completely disappeared.
Nowadays, only some officials in Songdu will listen to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin turned his head and saw Su Xin's cherry lips slightly parted, her dark eyes filled with affection. Even after seeing her a thousand times, he had to admit that Su Xin was extremely beautiful.
He couldn't help but kiss her fiercely, saying, "You don't need to worry about these things."
This is a man's business, and she shouldn't have interfered.
"Yes." Su Xin lowered her head, feigning shyness to hide the hatred in her eyes.
Su Qian is not dead yet, how could she be willing to accept this?
But since Xiao Lin had already spoken, she couldn't ask any more questions.
Upon returning to her palace, Su Xin immediately asked Fu Liu, "Who is Chang An?"
"General Chang'an is loyal only to His Majesty."
"Hmm?" Su Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at Fu Liu. "You should explain yourself more clearly."
Loyal only to Xiao Lin?
She didn't believe that. How could anyone be without selfish motives?
He is loyal now only because there is no greater temptation yet.
"General Chang'an has fought alongside His Majesty through thick and thin for many years. If it weren't for the General's assistance, His Majesty might not have been able to kill him..."
At this point, Fu Liu immediately stopped talking.
If it weren't for Chang An's help, how could Xiao Lin have successfully forced the emperor to abdicate?
Having murdered his father and seized the throne, their emperor is not someone to be trifled with.
Thinking of these past events, Fu Liu's body stiffened involuntarily. How could she have forgotten?
She shouldn't have come back that day; she should have gone to Jizhou instead.
But it's too late to regret it now.
Su Xin frowned slightly. "Why do you only say half of what you mean?" She looked at her newly done nails, the bright red peonies with gold trim were extremely beautiful, a treatment reserved for the Empress.
No matter how chaotic the world outside is, as long as she is the Empress, she can enjoy all of this.
Therefore, she can only be the eldest daughter of the Su family.
She is the only one who can ensure peace and stability in the world.
Fu Liu glanced cautiously at Su Xin, her heart trembling involuntarily. "Your Majesty, this servant..." She knelt down in front of Su Xin with a thud, saying, "Your Majesty, spare my life, please spare my life."
Su Xin looked at Pingting and asked coldly, "What's wrong with her?"
Pingting bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, this concerns His Majesty, so I dare not say more."
Su Xin glanced at her briefly and asked, "So you don't dare to say anything either, Pingting?"
Before Pingting could speak, she added, "I remember your husband is in Jizhou."
Pingting trembled. "This servant has already been divorced."
Li Zai is no longer related to her.
The bond between husband and wife had long since broken down.
Su Xin chuckled, "Can you really forget him? Don't you really feel any hatred at all?"
Pingting lowered her head and remained silent.
Su Xin had no patience to waste any more time with her. She sat up straight and said coldly, "I want to know what Chang An's background is. If you are unwilling to speak, there are others who are willing to."
Pingting kowtowed to Su Xin and said, "This servant is willing to speak."
Seeing that she was sensible, Su Xin's mood improved a bit. "Go ahead."
"General Chang is the sister of the Empress Dowager, who was born of the same mother. When the late Emperor was alive, His Majesty was not the preferred candidate for Crown Prince."
Upon learning of this, His Majesty, together with General Chang, stormed into the palace.
Pingting closed her eyes, her throat a little dry, and said, "From that day on, Your Majesty is Your Majesty."
