Chapter 565: The Emperor, or the Emperor's Uncle
"Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for anything." Old Man Su flattered him respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, benevolent to the world, diligent in governing, and loves the people like his own children. It is only with God's blessing that we can overcome this danger."
When Old Man Su said this, his expression became extremely sincere. He continued, "I am protecting the emperor only because I have done my duty. I dare not ask for a reward."
After hearing what his father said, little Tangbao suddenly believed that his father had been educated when he was a child.
Anyone who has never been to school would never be able to make such a eloquent and high-sounding compliment.
Zhao Yi looked at Emperor Tianxi, then at Old Man Su, and understood.
It turned out that the emperor had already revealed his identity.
However, the uncle from the Su family is very good at talking!
These words were spoken very fluently, just like what the old foxes in the court would say.
"Hahaha...Brother Su has a righteous heart, I am very pleased!" Emperor Tianxi was very happy to be flattered.
This was the first time he had been praised in person since he came to Daliushu Village.
Words that I used to be used to hearing are now especially precious to me.
Old Man Su was also very happy at this time.
The emperor has called him Brother Su several times.
But what about the reward?
You can't really not reward me, right?
He's just being polite, don't take it seriously...
"Okay, since Fu Ya is sleepy, you should take her home to sleep. She is so young and can't help but feel sleepy." Emperor Tianxi waved his hand and said.
Old Man Su: “…Yes.”
It’s over, the emperor is serious.
The reward in hand flew away.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration of my daughter. I will take my leave." Old Man Su was about to walk out holding little Tangbao.
Little Tangbao poked his head out from under the quilt, and said in a soft voice, feeling sleepy: "Uncle, you said you would treat the whole village to meat, you can't break your promise..."
Her father’s reward is gone, but the meat for the whole village cannot be lost!
Old Man Su quickly looked towards Emperor Tianxi and pleaded guilty carefully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Children speak without restraint. Please be magnanimous and do not treat a commoner's daughter with such leniency."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Tangbao again, winked, and whispered, "My girl, this is the emperor, not your uncle."
How can I just call the emperor uncle and claim to be a relative?
"Oh, it's the emperor uncle." Little Tangbao blinked.
She already knew it, so Dad didn't need to wink.
The emperor almost adopted her as his goddaughter, and she almost called him godfather.
If I tell it to you, it will definitely scare my dad.
When Old Man Su saw his little girl's innocent look, he could only look at the emperor dryly.
"Um, Your Majesty, this humble girl is ignorant..."
Emperor Tianxi laughed heartily.
"Brother Su, you're wrong. Since I can call you 'Brother Su', isn't it natural for Fuya to call me uncle?"
Old Man Su: "...Yes, yes."
It seems that the emperor called himself Brother Su because he was not paying attention.
Old Man Su, known as the emperor's "Brother Su", walked away with light steps while holding little Tangbao.
As the Su family father and daughter left, the atmosphere in the room became cold.
**
At the gate of the mansion, the three brothers Su Lao Da, Su Lao Si and Su Xiao Liu were about to knock on the door when Old Man Su came out holding Little Tang Bao.
"father!"
"father!"
The brothers rushed forward immediately.
"What happened to my sister?" Boss Su asked in panic.
"Brother, I'm fine."
Little Tangbao's voice came out vaguely from under the quilt.
Boss Su breathed a sigh of relief.
His eyes inadvertently glanced behind Old Man Su.
As a result, I happened to see a pool of blood behind the door.
Boss Su's face turned pale instantly.
At this time, Su Laosi and Su Xiaoliu also saw the bloodstains behind the door.
The two brothers' faces also turned pale.
Everyone knows that this is definitely not chicken blood or duck blood.
"Dad, let's go home quickly and don't scare our sister." Boss Su said as he took Xiao Tangbao over.
"Okay." This time, Old Man Su did not fight with his son for the little girl.
He felt a little unsteady in his steps after being called "Brother Su" by Emperor Tianxi several times.
As for the bloodstains behind the door, he didn't take it to heart at all.
I don’t know how many people died last night. What’s a little blood?
The Su family members hurried home, and from time to time they met villagers who came over to ask questions along the way.
The big commotion last night alarmed almost the entire village.
"Brother Su, is that guy... okay?" The village chief ran over in a panic, grabbed Old Man Su's arm, and asked nervously in a low voice.
If Zhang Cheng hadn't gone to his house after dinner yesterday and told him to notify all the villagers to close their doors and sleep peacefully at night.
No matter what noise you hear, you are not allowed to open the door or go out.
He had already run to the mansion to find out the news.
After all, the emperor lives in the house!
If something happened to the emperor in their village, who knew if their village would be implicated?
After hearing what the village chief said, Old Man Su whispered, "It's okay. Everything was planned by the emperor. He had anticipated this long ago. He's caught the turtle in the jar. Do you understand?"
The village chief said, "...Oh."
Understood.
Breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked at the quilt that Boss Su was holding.
"Who's in here... Fu Ya?" the village chief asked tentatively.
Old Man Su nodded.
The village chief asked, "...Did Fuya sleep in the mansion last night?"
Old Man Su nodded again.
The village chief said, "...No, if we are going to catch the turtle in the jar, why do we need Fuya to be there?"
Old Man Su did not nod this time, but looked at the village chief with a gloomy look.
village head,"……"
I think I understand a little bit.
"Is it...the emperor who left Fu Ya behind?" the village chief guessed.
Old man Su recovered and nodded in a cold manner.
village head,"……"
Understood!
The village chief patted Old Man Su on the shoulder and complained, "Brother Su, you are such a fool. If you had told me last night that Fu Ya stayed in the mansion, I wouldn't have worried so much. I couldn't sleep for half the night."
Old Man Su, “…”
hehe!
Fortunately I didn’t tell you!
I haven't slept for half the night, so how can I let you sleep comfortably?
You are so beautiful!
"His father!"
Old Mrs. Su shouted as she walked over quickly.
Behind Old Lady Su were several daughters-in-law of the Su family.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all looked worried and anxious.
"What happened to Tangbao?"
"What happened to my aunt?"
The Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all looked at the quilt that the eldest brother Su was holding.
Little Tangbao is already curled up in the quilt, dreaming.
"My daughter is fine, she's asleep, go home quickly."
After saying this, Old Man Su walked towards home.
Su Xiaoliu came close to Old Man Su, touched his head, and asked curiously, "Dad, why did I just hear you talking to the village chief about the emperor..."
As soon as Su Xiaoliu finished speaking, everyone in the Su family pricked up their ears in unison.
