Chapter 398 My current concern is you
Xiao Wu bowed and went down, "Yes, please rest assured, your Majesty, Xiao Wu will be back soon."
As soon as Xiaowu left, Gao Hu took her place, standing there overlooking the crowd, treating the Empress as if she were fragile.
Ji Xiaohan finished offering sacrifices to the heavens and walked over. When he saw that the person standing next to the little queen was not Xiao Wu but Gao Hu, a deep look flashed in his eyes. He sat down and asked, "What happened?"
Su Wanyan knew that Ji Xiaohan was always very perceptive, so she didn't hide anything and told him everything that had just happened. "...Xiao Yi and the others are interrogating them. I told Xiao Wu that once they have verified the facts, there is no need to keep them."
Ji Xiaohan nodded, "Well, let them handle this matter. Don't be distracted by these trivial matters."
The little queen didn't know that she couldn't see blood today, but she really couldn't keep the person alive. There are many ways to kill a person, and it doesn't necessarily have to involve blood.
"Yeah, I don't want to care about it either." Su Wanyan naturally agreed. She was now bulky and delicate, so she didn't want to waste her energy on these things.
Among the ministers kneeling below, there was one who made frequent small movements and kept looking around, but for fear of being noticed, he did not dare to look up. Therefore, he did not notice that the two young eunuchs standing there had been replaced.
This man's guilty look had long attracted the attention of other secret guards. When the emperor stopped offering sacrifices to heaven, someone immediately reported this man's strange behavior to the emperor.
Ji Xiaohan was peeling chestnuts for the little queen. Upon hearing this, he glanced in the direction the secret guard pointed. "This man was a student of Yuan Dehai, and later joined the Ministry of Revenue's assistant minister. Now that we've discovered him, let's investigate together!"
The secret guard received the order and bowed and went down.
Su Wanyan stuffed a chestnut into her mouth and said with a smile, "Look at you, you're already the emperor, but you're still being schemed against so many times. Tsk tsk tsk!"
Ji Xiaohan: "..."
Who says that being an emperor means no one will scheme against you? The more powerful you are, the more people will plot against you. There's a reason why emperors often end up alone.
Being schemed and fooled by so many people all day long, people have been in a state of suspicion and sensitivity for a long time, and their hearts have become cold.
This was also the reason why he did not take out the imperial edict when his father handed it to him at the beginning. Later, Ji Yueze seized the throne while he was away from the imperial city, and he did not think about taking it back. He thought, everyone is a brother, so whoever sits in that seat can sit.
However, Ji Yueze didn't think so. It was the calculations and suppressions against him over the years that made him determined to take back the throne.
Su Wanyan looked at Ji Xiaohan, who was lost in thought. She gestured for Gao Hu and Shaoyao to step aside, then leaned over and whispered, "What's wrong? Did I hit the nail on the head?"
Ji Xiaohan came back to his senses and raised his hand to rub the little queen's head, but the little queen was dressed up today, with a head full of jewels. In the end, he pinched her cheek instead, "Queen, you are worrying too much. My current concern is about you."
Su Wanyan: “…”
We were just talking, why are you showing off again?
You are not afraid of being heard by others and being accused of being a lovesick emperor who has lost all his dignity as an emperor.
Ji Xiaohan's coronation ceremony had not yet ended, and Meng Gaoming was still singing loudly below. It was really difficult for him. A weak scholar, after presiding over such a grand ceremony, he would probably need someone to help him go back, right?
