Not long after, Eunuch Zhou came back.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao has been executed. Zhou Shaoqing has already gone to handle the Zhao family's affairs. As for the matters instructed by the little princess, I have also sent people to carry out them. I will report back to the little princess after they are completed."
He said in one breath.
"Eunuch Zhou, you've worked hard. Come and have a cup of tea to quench your thirst."
Xiao Shuangbao was sensible and considerate. He personally poured a cup of tea for Zhou Guisheng.
"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!"
Zhou Guisheng was immediately flattered. He quickly put the whisk in his hand into his arms, took the teacup handed to him by Shuangbao with both hands, and drank it all in one breath happily.
"Zhou Guisheng, I have something to ask you."
Emperor Chengxuan talked about that night when he asked Zhou Guisheng to convey the message that Shuangbao was under house arrest.
Zhou Guisheng recalled carefully: "This old slave did not see the little princess that night!"
"Then can you remember who you met?" Emperor Cheng Xuan asked again.
"Your Majesty, I can't remember it. Now when I think back to that night, it's like a hazy mist before my eyes. I can't see anything clearly, just a vague figure."
Zhou Guisheng replied.
Emperor Cheng Xuan said nothing more, frowning in thought.
"Your Majesty, I believe there must be something wrong with Concubine Wang, but judging by her expression today, she seems to be completely clueless about what's going on. It doesn't seem like she's pretending."
Chen Cao said, "Could it be that she was controlled by a vixen, for example, possessed by a vixen? The vixen saw the little princess coming today and was afraid that she would see something, so she ran away?
“But as long as she sets her sights on Concubine Wang, she might appear next to her in the future.
"Then, as long as we keep a close eye on Concubine Wang, this vixen will eventually reveal some clues."
When Emperor Cheng Xuan heard her say this, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head and he thought of something.
"I remember now. Today, I had an unbearable headache and my mind was in a mess. But after Shuangbao appeared in front of me, as soon as I saw her eyes, my mind immediately became clear and the headache was gone."
"So, considering the little princess's previous dream, this vixen may not be able to use her charm to control the emperor for the time being, but she will still have an impact on him and eventually gain control over him."
Chen Cao continued his analysis, "This also confirms the princess's dream. The emperor was ultimately charged.
"But the princess is a person with a pure and innocent heart. Her appearance awakened the emperor and ultimately saved him!"
"Yes, this time, thanks to Shuangbao."
A trace of emotion appeared on Emperor Chengxuan's face.
Before, on the battlefield of the great battle with Beirong, Shuangbao's father Su Liao saved his life.
Today, in the palace, Shuangbao saved him again!
However, he failed to protect Shuangbao, causing Shuangbao to suffer a lot of injustice during this period...
"Your Majesty, I believe that this vixen's intrusion into the Dongqi Imperial Palace is by no means a simple harem fight for favor. I'm afraid it may also involve a conspiracy from another country!"
The more Chen Cao spoke, the more solemn his expression grew. "If the Emperor is successfully controlled by the vixen, then our Dongqi Kingdom will be in danger!"
Emperor Chengxuan's expression also became solemn.
He nodded.
"That's right! Right now, the entire continent, except for a few small countries around it, is in a three-way confrontation. Northern Rong, Eastern Qi, and Southern Yan are the three major powers. Each of them wants to annex the other two, competing secretly with each other, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks are constantly happening.
“This vixen was either brought in by the Northern Rong royal family or the Southern Yan Kingdom.
"But considering the various situations, it's very likely that the Southern Yan Kingdom took advantage of my absence from the palace during the war with the Northern Rong to bring them in..."
On the side, Shuangbao held up his stupid little head in confusion.
what to do?
Sister Chen Cao started talking to Dad again, words that she couldn't understand at all!
She can't even get involved!
Little Shuangbao was listening very attentively, but his expression of not understanding was also very serious.
Until Emperor Cheng Xuan said his last words.
Southern Yan Kingdom!
Xiao Shuangbao's eyes suddenly lit up, he found an opportunity to participate in this profound topic!
She excitedly shook Emperor Cheng Xuan's palm with her little hand and said with a happy smile: "Daddy, Daddy! Brother Qinshi is also from Southern Yan! Sister Chen Cao said that he is the prince of Southern Yan!
"He's so kind, he saved Shuangbao twice!
"Oh, Daddy, did you forget to reward Brother Lute Master today? Remember to make up for it!"
Little Shuangbao begged coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, Daddy promises you."
In order to establish himself as a man of his word in front of Shuang Bao, Emperor Cheng Xuan immediately ordered Zhou Guisheng, "Pass on my decree. Zhong Liyu has saved Princess Lingfu twice and has made great contributions. He shall be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.
"Go in person and ask him if he wants any other reward. I can satisfy him."
After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Zhou Guisheng.
There is a deep meaning in this look.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."
Zhou Guisheng understood Emperor Chengxuan's meaning and immediately took the order.
"Are you satisfied now?" Emperor Chengxuan looked at Xiao Shuangbao with a doting smile.
"Hehe, Daddy is the best!" Little Shuangbao buried his little head in his arms and acted coquettishly.
The father and daughter seem to be having a great time.
It seems that no other conspiracies or intrigues can be inserted.
In any case, all the unfortunate things that happened to Shuangbao during this period seemed to have finally come to an end.
She can finally relax and play!
The other side.
Zhou Guisheng brought the ten thousand taels of gold awarded by Emperor Chengxuan to the remote palace where Zhongli Yu lived.
"This is all the Emperor's will. Of course, the little princess requested it for you. The Emperor said that if you have any other requests or rewards, you can ask for them. For the sake of the little princess, the Emperor will definitely satisfy you."
He smiled kindly.
Zhongli Yu glanced at the glittering gold, smiled faintly, and then said politely: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. Ten thousand gold coins are enough. I don't want anything else.
“Saving the little princess was just a coincidence.
“The little princess has a pure heart and is the most adorable, innocent and kind person in the world. Yu just couldn’t bear to see her being harmed by a villain, so he volunteered to save her.
“Now that the little princess is safe and sound, Yu is relieved.
"All Yu wants is a peaceful life, to spend every day here, without getting involved in other disputes."
He made his attitude clear.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Guisheng nodded with a smile.
"I will convey Master Yu's meaning to the Emperor. I will take my leave."
After saying that, he took his men away.
"Sir, why don't you ask Emperor Chengxuan to send you back to Southern Yan?"
After Zhou Guisheng walked away, Uncle Zhong immediately said with some regret, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
