Chapter 536 Xiao Bao said, This is how I imagined my father to be (Sixth update)
Emperor Huangfu Cangyun of Dongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
This was indeed the first time I had been so rudely contradicted.
His hawk-like eyes pierced Xiao Tang.
A low-pressure atmosphere permeated the hall.
The ministers also sensed the clash of auras between the emperor and Xiao Tang, and they all held their breath in anticipation.
An emperor is an emperor after all, and no one dared to utter a sound.
Until Huangfu Cangyun chuckled, "You're indeed different. If it were any other woman, she would have already knelt down and begged for mercy. You're quite amusing."
Xiao Tang rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Boring my foot!
Has this emperor lost his mind?
He finds it amusing to be abused and criticized, right?
Even Di Jingling had never been tortured like this.
...
At this time, in General Xiao's mansion.
The three babies sat in a row in the garden with Xiao Yiran.
Xiao Yiran held a glass of water, pretending it was wine, and drank it slowly and deliberately.
Da Bao: "Third Uncle, I have a question for you."
Xiao Yiran casually replied, "So, what do you want to ask?"
"Will our father come to Dongyuan Kingdom to pick us and our mother up?"
Xiao Yiran was stumped by the child's question.
If it weren't for the fact that it was water in his hand, he would have even pretended to be drunk and faint.
He was unable to answer such a complex question.
What's more, it was deceiving three young children.
You can't fool them, you can't fool them.
"Well... as long as you keep the thought in your hearts, it will definitely... hehe."
Xiao Yiran's explanation elicited a snort from all three babies.
They really asked a lot of unnecessary questions.
Xiao Yiran also realized that he was being looked down upon by the three little brats, and touched the tip of his nose with a slightly speechless expression.
Are kids these days so mature?
...
When the palace banquet was almost halfway through, Xiao Tang secretly ran out to get some fresh air.
[Beep—Host, there's a side quest.]
No.
[This will grant you an extra teleportation ability back to Dasheng, but it can only be used once!]
Xiao Tang immediately agreed: [You should have told me earlier, what's the mission?]
[That's right, to cure the Empress of Emperor Dongyuan's illness.]
Why?
The Empress of Emperor Dongyuan is a good person.
【……OK! 】
Since that's been said, then in order to get the chance to teleport back to Dasheng, she can still do this side mission.
Just as she turned to go back, she suddenly saw Xiao Yichen, who had also come out for some fresh air.
Xiao Tang felt somewhat awkward in front of this man.
There was some mutual animosity between the two of them back then...
The man's attitude towards Du Juan was also a bit puzzling.
When Xiao Yichen saw her, his expression was indifferent, and his cold eyes were devoid of any warmth.
But as Xiao Tang passed by him, he suddenly said, "Are you and Du Juan very close?"
"What's wrong? General Xiao, what insightful opinion do you have?"
The man stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the night sky.
Just when Xiao Tang thought he was bluffing and didn't want to answer, he murmured softly, "You should try to persuade her."
Why try to persuade her?
"Marry me."
"..."
Xiao Tang felt that this topic was impossible to discuss.
After a pause, she said to Xiao Yichen, "Since you are so heartless towards her, why drag her down with you? She's a perfectly healthy young woman, and you're making her suffer. Aren't you committing a sin?"
Xiao Yichen suddenly turned his head, a flash of obsessive light in his eyes.
She was completely different from her aloof demeanor just moments ago.
Xiao Tang pursed her lips slightly, "It's no use telling me this. The one who tied the knot must untie it. Since you refuse to break off the engagement and are dragging her along, it's up to you to persuade her to marry you."
After saying this, she slipped into the palace.
Xiao Yichen's eyes darkened as he stared at Xiao Tang's retreating figure, his gaze sharp as a knife.
This is what Dujuan owes him...
He married her not for any other reason than that she owed him, and he would never let her marry another man!
Xiao Tang returned to the hall and sat down.
She overheard them discussing the Queen's illness.
This is the perfect opportunity!
The ministers were all saying they should ask a doctor to take a look.
Emperor Dongyuan's brows were also shrouded in a fierce aura, it seemed that the empress's illness had troubled him for a long time.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so annoyed.
Xiao Tang cleared her throat and stood up. "If you need a doctor, I can introduce you to an excellent one."
"Who is it?" Huangfu Cangyun stared at Xiao Tang.
It wasn't until he saw the slight curve of Xiao Tang's lips that he immediately understood, "Sixth Miss Xiao, you wouldn't be talking about yourself, would you?"
Xiao Tang nodded, "It is indeed me."
The man immediately found it amusing.
The ministers chuckled, finding the matter rather amusing and somewhat cryptic.
Suddenly someone said weakly, "Five years ago, I also heard that the Regent's Queen of the Great Sheng Kingdom was a highly skilled doctor. Wasn't it the Queen who cured the Regent's strange illness?"
Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Tang.
Huangfu Cangyun's eyes darkened. "Fine, I'll allow you to give it a try."
"As long as you heal the Empress, I will grant you any request."
Then came a string of ministers praising the Emperor and Empress's deep affection for each other.
Xiao Tang could only chuckle at this.
What kind of deep affection does Emperor Dongyuan have? He's not affectionate at all, and his harem is mostly filled with concubines.
Such an emperor, it's only thanks to the ministers' constant praise.
...
Xiao Tang went to the palace early the next morning to treat the Empress's illness.
