"Your Majesty, I have something else I would like to ask the little princess for help."
At this time, Zhou Xu suddenly said.
"Lord Zhou, why do you need Shuangbao's help with everything?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengxuan immediately frowned in dissatisfaction, "If you can't do anything, then why not just let Shuangbao be the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple?"
Zhou Xu's eyes twitched.
He finally understood.
In the past, their emperor didn't care about family ties or any other emotions as long as it was beneficial to the government.
But now, whenever he asked the little princess for help, he was afraid of tiring her out.
However, Zhou Xu already knew how to deal with Emperor Cheng Xuan at this time.
Then, I just heard him say:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I remember that the exiled Taoist mentioned accumulating merits. I thought that the little princess has many abilities and is definitely not an ordinary person. So, wouldn't it be better for her to do more good deeds and accumulate merits?
"That's why I always think of asking the little princess for help. Of course, I am indeed incompetent and there are some things I can't do. I can only ask the little princess for help."
Sure enough, when he said this, he not only asked Xiao Shuangbao to accumulate merits, but also praised Xiao Shuangbao for his strong abilities and said he was not an ordinary person.
Emperor Cheng Xuan felt proud and relieved when he heard this.
"Shuangbao, do you want to accumulate merit?" he asked.
"Yes." The little baby nodded. "Mother has said before that doing good deeds and accumulating merits will be of great benefit to people in the Xuanmen."
"Okay then."
When Emperor Chengxuan heard this, he immediately looked at Zhou Xu and asked, "What do you want Shuangbao to do for you?"
Zhou Xu quickly replied, "In reply to the emperor, it was Lord Zhao, the envoy of the Ministry of Public Administration. He encountered a difficult problem at home and could not get rid of it, so he went to the exiled Taoist for help. Now that he knows that the exiled Taoist was tricked into Wenxiang Tower for his life, he took the initiative to offer to paint the exiled Taoist's portrait.
"It's just that he's seen the little princess's abilities and hopes she can help him solve his family's problems. He also said that if she's willing to help, he can provide some other clues about the exiled Taoist priest."
"This Zhao Muan, he still dares to put forward conditions?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengxuan was furious. "As the Minister of Public Administration, he carries a heavy responsibility, yet he colluded with a Taoist priest of unknown origin. Not only did I not execute him, but he even dared to conceal the clues of the exiled Taoist priest?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I have investigated and Lord Zhao has not leaked any secrets. I am afraid that it is because the exiled Taoist priest could not gain any benefits from Lord Zhao that he wanted to lure him to Wenxiang Tower and kill him."
Zhou Xu persuaded.
"So, can he put forward conditions in front of Shuangbao? Although accumulating merit is a good thing, if the matter he mentioned is too difficult, what if Shuangbao gets injured in the process? It would be better not to have the merit then."
Emperor Chengxuan was still very dissatisfied.
When Zhou Xu heard this, she knew that he was still protecting the little princess.
However, Xiao Shuangbao was somewhat interested in what Zhou Xu said.
"Master Zhou, what happened to Master Zhao at home?" she asked softly.
"Well, Lord Zhao hopes to tell the little princess in person." Zhou Xu said.
"Okay, then Shuangbao will go see him."
Xiao Shuangbao agreed immediately.
Soon, she was led by Emperor Cheng Xuan's hand to the interrogation room.
Zhao Muan was sitting there, and when he saw Xiao Shuangbao, he stood up quickly with some excitement.
He is a little overweight, with a gentle appearance and elegant temperament, and he has some of the character of a clean and upright scholar.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty and the little princess."
Zhao Muan saluted.
"Zhao Mu'an, what's going on in your family that you're hiding it from a demon and refusing to tell him directly, and even wanting Shuang Bao to help you deal with the problem before you're willing to tell him?"
Emperor Chengxuan's dissatisfaction was evident in his words.
Zhao Muan was still afraid of this emperor who had a bad temper in the past.
At this moment, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a respectful yet slightly fearful tone, "Your Majesty, if there was no other way, how could I dare to trouble the little princess? It is really that my whole family has been tortured to the point of unbearable suffering by this matter."
"What's the matter? Stop talking nonsense." Emperor Cheng Xuan seemed very impatient.
Zhao Muan didn't dare to say anything more and quickly told everyone what had happened in his family in the past few years.
It turned out that Zhao Muan had a daughter who was abducted when she was four years old.
Half a year later, he sought help from a banished Taoist priest and found his daughter. At this time, his daughter was four and a half years old, and her appearance had not changed much. She was obviously his lost little daughter.
The family got their little daughter back and naturally loved her very much.
But the younger daughter's personality has changed a lot.
"In the past, Nannan was well-behaved and sensible. Although she was young, she had a very gentle temperament and never made any noise. When getting along with her brothers and sisters, she was also very humble and never fought or competed."
Zhao Muan said, "But when I brought her back half a year ago, her personality changed drastically. She spoke and acted very extreme, and she was selfish and jealous.
“She has things that her older brothers and sisters can’t have.
“If she doesn’t have something her older brothers and sisters have, she will definitely get it.
"At first, my wife and I thought that she had been abducted and trafficked for the past six months and had suffered too much injustice outside, so it was normal for her temper to change a little.
"Until two months ago, she pushed a cat that Madam Weichen had raised for many years into a pool and drowned it alive..."
At this point, Zhao Muan's tone was filled with horror, "This scene was witnessed by me and my wife. At that time, we both felt that she was no longer the well-behaved, sensible, and kind little daughter we used to know.
