Chapter 291: Their wishful thinking was heard by us all in Quanzhou.
Rong Mama coaxed the little girl to sleep and happened to walk over. When she heard Xiao Wu's words, she couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Xiao Wu, what you said is right. I saw it during the day."
"Mammy, why did you follow Xiaowu's lead and say that? I... I'm angry and I won't talk to you anymore!" Shaoyao stomped her feet, too embarrassed to stay any longer, and ran away. But her back looked so happy, and she didn't look angry at all.
"Haha..." Rong Mama and Xiao Wu couldn't help laughing as they watched Shaoyao running away.
Listening to the laughter outside the door, Su Wanyan, who was sitting by the window, also curled the corners of her mouth. She had been in ancient times for so long that she had already regarded these people who followed her loyally as her own people. Seeing that the little girl Shaoyao could find the person she liked, she was sincerely happy for her.
Xiao Wu exchanged a few words with Rong Mama before knocking on the door and entering. Seeing the little princess sitting by the window, he took a cloak from the screen rack nearby and put it on her. "Your Highness, it's windy tonight. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"It's okay, it's not too cold now." Su Wanyan said this, but she still gathered her cloak with her hands and let Xiaowu tie it for her obediently.
Xiao Wu disagreed, but dutifully poured hot tea and stuffed it into the little princess's hands so that she could hold it to warm her hands before she gave up.
It wasn't until the little princess's hands warmed up that she whispered, "Your Majesty, our people have found out where those people came from. They were ostensibly sent by the dog emperor, but two of them are the queen's men."
Su Wanyan was a little surprised when she heard this and asked, "The Queen's people?"
"Yes, those two were originally loyal to the Dog Emperor, but the Dog Emperor was suspicious and dangerous. The secret guards like them often accepted missions where they could go but not return alive. Both of their brothers died while on missions. The Dog Emperor did not regard the secret guards as human beings and did not treat their families well in time, which allowed the people on the Queen's side to take advantage of the opportunity." Xiao Wu told all the information he had found out from the Dark Cabinet.
Not only is the source of the secrets from the Secret Chamber fast, but they also dig deep. If the young princess wasn't interested in the intentions of the people behind those people, I'm afraid they would have dug up even eight generations of their ancestors.
Su Wanyan nodded, suddenly realizing, "I see. So, this Queen of your Great Zhou is quite powerful! She's been on the throne for so many years, so her mother's clan must have planted quite a few secret forces around the dog emperor, right?"
Xiao Wu covered his mouth and laughed when he talked about this. "Your Majesty is wise. The power of the Queen and her maternal family is indeed comparable to that of the Dog Emperor. If the Master had not taken action, I am afraid that the power of the Dog Emperor would have fallen into the hands of the Queen's maternal family in a few years. By then, assisting the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne would have been a natural outcome."
"What a good plan! No wonder the Queen and the Crown Prince are in a hurry to marry Yuan Luoling! They want to consolidate their power in advance and let the Crown Prince control the court. What a pity! We in Quanzhou have heard their wishful thinking." Su Wanyan exclaimed in admiration.
Xiao Wu looked at the little princess's cunning and smart eyes and couldn't help but light candles for those people silently!
It’s bad enough that they’re being targeted by their master, but now they’re being targeted by the little princess... If the queen and the prince are sensible, their ending will be fine. If they are not, I’m afraid their fate will be even more miserable than that of the dog emperor.
