Chapter 379 It's a pity the villain doesn't understand that "idiot" is an insult.
He had a look on his face as if he'd seen a ghost.
Di Jingling snorted coldly and retorted, "What's wrong with being the Empress?"
"No, no, no... no, it's after Ninth Imperial Uncle becomes Emperor and Ninth Imperial Aunt becomes Empress..." Di Yanqing looked terrified.
He was terrified that the Ninth Prince would suddenly kill him with a single blow, so he quickly corrected himself.
[Pfft!]
Look how scared the little emperor is! His survival instinct is kicking in!
Xiao Tang watched from the side, amused and helpless. He shook his head slightly and hummed softly, "Your Majesty, you should not say such things to outsiders. Otherwise, the world may be thrown into chaos."
The young emperor, who had just recovered from his shock, met Xiao Tang's gaze and swallowed hard.
After a long while, Di Yanqing awkwardly explained, "No, I didn't dare to say anything. You're all family here, right?"
[I can't stop laughing... How can this little guy be so funny?]
He was truly the most amusing little emperor she had ever seen.
Di Jingling gave Xiao Tang a deep look.
"Why did you leave the palace? I will have someone escort you back."
It's time to send this brat back to the palace.
As for other things...
"Ninth Imperial Uncle, if I return to the palace, you must, please consider my words."
He tugged at Di Jingling's clothes.
For a moment, he forgot why he had run away from the palace in the first place.
"Yan Jiu, come here and escort the Emperor back to the palace." Without giving the young emperor a response, Di Jingling gave the order to Yan Jiu.
After Yan Jiu led the young emperor away.
Xiao Tangcai closed the book and slowly walked to Di Jingling's side.
What are you thinking?
"Hmm?" His thin lips moved slightly, his gaze lingering on her small face as he slowly spoke, "The throne?"
Her beautiful eyes blinked gently.
It was telling him silently: Yes!
The throne!
This is something extremely important!
The key question is whether the main villain actually wants to seize the throne.
Otherwise, it would just benefit the male protagonist who's a jerk.
The man pursed his thin lips. "Do you want to be the empress?"
Good grief, why is this question being thrown back at me?
Xiao Tang didn't really have any particular thoughts about these things, especially since she had no interest in the Empress at all at the beginning.
But now, because a man is willing to accept the position of empress, she is less resistant.
She grasped the man's large hand.
She turned and intertwined her fingers with his.
Xiao Tang said, "Do what you want to do. If you like it, I'll go with you."
I'll accompany you as you reign supreme.
I'll accompany you to watch the flowers bloom and fade.
I'll accompany you to witness the changing landscape.
This is a promise, and once a promise is made, it must be kept.
She was the one holding his hand, but his fingers tightened, and with a sudden pull, she was unexpectedly pulled into his arms.
He held her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones, so that they would become one and never be separated again.
Xiao Tang was able to keenly perceive changes in his aura and subtle shifts in his emotions.
I've always known that he cares about her.
It was only then that she realized that Di Jingling was truly afraid of losing her, and also afraid that she would disappear.
Two more days passed.
The imperial court dispatched two groups of people to Beixiao City for disaster relief.
The Empress Dowager also invited Xiao Tang to the palace for tea for two consecutive days.
After the previous poisoning incident, the Empress Dowager learned her lesson and dared not poison Xiao Tang's tea.
After all, Xiao Tang knew that she was still useful to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager looked at her calm demeanor as she drank her tea and asked with a slight smile, "Xiao Tang, I've heard that you are a skilled physician. Why don't you also go to Beixiao City to treat the disaster victims?"
Xiao Tang pretended not to understand.
When he frowns, a sharp glint can't be hidden in his eyes.
It must be said that the Empress Dowager always revealed her intentions, which was not very wise of her.
She practically wore her thoughts on her sleeve; it was ridiculous.
Xiao Tang remained calm and composed, "The Empress Dowager means..."
“Look, seven days have passed, but the disaster victims in Beixiao City have not yet received complete treatment. Moreover, it is said that after the avalanche, the heavy snow blocked the city, and those who went in could not come out, so the food could not be delivered in.”
She looked slightly worried.
"Has the Regent misunderstood me recently, which is why he no longer wants to get involved in these matters?"
"That day... I really didn't poison you, do you believe me?"
As she spoke, the woman started acting.
Even though Xiao Tang could see through her thoughts, he was too lazy to say anything. He simply nodded and said calmly, "Of course I believe what the Empress Dowager says."
If we're going to act, then let's all act together!
She didn't find it strange at all.
They just want her to go to Beixiao City, and then Di Jingling will follow her...
Since the Empress Dowager couldn't send Emperor Jingling directly, she had no choice but to resort to such underhanded methods.
"I also hope to save the people as soon as possible. You can also choose a few imperial physicians to go with you. If you succeed in saving the people, I will reward you handsomely."
This "generous reward" doesn't sound very reliable.
Xiao Tang looked slightly conflicted, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, and said in a low voice with a hint of helplessness, "I still need to ask my husband about this matter."
She appeared completely subservient to her husband.
The Empress Dowager saw all this and could only snort inwardly.
This Xiao Tang, I never imagined she was a woman who put her husband first.
She had thought this woman was someone who could tame the Regent into a loyal dog; it seems she was overthinking it.
"In that case, I await your good news. I believe the Regent will surely agree."
