Chu You nodded and assured: "Don't worry, Prince, I will take good care of my sister."

[Where are you going? Will you take me with you? ]

Chu Yaoyao reached out and grabbed the prince's sleeve tightly, looking at him eagerly, as if saying that if he didn't agree, he would not be able to leave.

She shouted, "Go!"

[How can I be absent from such a thing as going out to play? 】

Seeing this, the prince didn't dare to move at all, for fear of accidentally hurting her little hand, so he could only coax her patiently:

"Okay, I'll definitely take you there."

After getting the answer she wanted, Chu Yaoyao let go of her hand and turned into her second brother's arms.

Prince: ...

Chu You only felt a burst of milky fragrance coming towards him. Holding such a soft milk ball in his arms, he even breathed lighter unconsciously.

In the imperial study, Emperor Qixuan quickly calmed down and walked out.

"You don't have to accompany me when I leave the palace tomorrow."

"But……"

Emperor Qixuan raised his hand to interrupt him, his tone unquestionable, "Aren't you sick? Your health is the most important thing."

Although the prince was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree, "Yes."

Looking at the purse containing medicine in his hand, he felt a little regretful. It seemed that he could not hand it to Miss Zhao personally.

Emperor Qi Xuan turned his gaze to his second son and said, "Chu You, you will be in charge of the soap and glass shops in the future. Go and prepare them."

Hearing this, Chu You was stunned for a moment. His father actually trusted him so much! Then he nodded vigorously and said loudly: "Yes! I will definitely not let you down!"

Having said this, he bowed and strode away in high spirits.

Seeing him in such a state, Emperor Qi Xuan nodded secretly. This was the attitude that a prince of the Great Qi should have! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Chu Yao...

The third child was obviously smart, well-behaved and sensible when he was young, but now...

He must have been taught badly by the virtuous concubine! At this time, Su Maowen came to report that Commander Zhao had something to report.

Could it be that the matter of Xiao Hu has been investigated? Emperor Qixuan's eyes gradually turned cold. If those two remnants of the previous dynasty were really related to the Xiao family...

"Xuan!"

As soon as Zhao Chengwen came in, he saw the prince and Concubine Shu holding the little princess.

She was slightly surprised. It was normal for the prince to be here, but this was the imperial study, and Concubine Shu and the little princess were here too? And they hadn't been asked to leave yet. It was obvious that the emperor didn't intend to avoid them in what happened next.

Isn’t it said that the harem cannot interfere in politics?

How favored this is.

Although he was shocked in his heart, he didn't dare show it on his face.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Chu Yaoyao was delighted to hear this.

[Haha, if the other ladies were here too, it would probably take half an hour just to pay their respects.]

[Can they really remember the names and titles of every concubine? If they call the wrong one, will they be beheaded? ]

Thinking of this, Chu Yaoyao hummed twice.

[That's the fault of my scumbag father. He has so many women. ]

"alright."

Emperor Qixuan interrupted him. He strongly disagreed with Yaoyao's idea. This was the imperial study. How could an ordinary concubine have the chance to come in?

And speaking of the harem...

Compared to the previous emperor, I have very few concubines.

Thinking back, looking at Zhao Chengwen kneeling on the ground, Emperor Qixuan asked him to stand up and asked, "Have you found anything?"

Zhao Chengwen shook his head slightly, "Xiao Hu insisted that he didn't know Tingxue and Xu Shu."

Then he knelt on the ground and said, "I am incompetent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qixuan tapped the table a few times, "Have you found out anything about Xiao Hu's background?"

The prince asked in confusion, "How old is he?"

"At the age of thirty."

Upon hearing this, the prince lowered his eyes and thought, "So he has no background, then how did he become the left commander of the Imperial Guards at such a young age?"

Zhao Chengwen slapped his forehead suddenly. Yes, Xiao Hu had no military merits and no protection from his ancestors, but he was promoted repeatedly. He must have a backer behind him!

He lowered his head in shame, "It was my negligence."

Emperor Qixuan glanced at Chu Yaoyao inadvertently.

Why is there no sound?

Could it be that the immortal also doesn’t know Xiao Hu’s origins?

And Chu Yaoyao, who was the one he was paying attention to, didn't let him wait any longer.

She clicked on the message she had just bought from the system.

[It turns out that Xiao Hu is the illegitimate son of Xiao Wentao's cousin and his maid! ]

Emperor Qixuan:!

Is it really related to the Xiao family? Chu Yaoyao's eyes sparkled. What a secret of a wealthy family.

She changed into a comfortable position and nestled in her mother's arms. Then she took out a piece of candy and put it in her mouth, smacking her lips while continuing to read down.

[But his biological father regarded them as a disgrace and drove them out of the house as soon as they were born.]

[His mother was in poor health and had been bedridden for years. Later, Xiao Wentao found him and promised him that he would take good care of his mother, but in exchange, Xiao Hu had to be loyal to him.]

[But Xiao Hu's mother died of illness two years ago! Xiao Wentao has been lying to him, saying that his mother's illness has been cured.]

Chu Yaoyao sighed in her heart, [It is true that even the most hateful people have their pitiful aspects. ]

Emperor Qixuan became anxious when he heard this and wanted to shout it out loud.

Stop sighing and keep talking!

[Xiao Wentao also promised him that after the mission was accomplished, he would give him a sum of money and let him return to Lingxi so that the mother and son could be reunited.]

[It was just to calm Xiao Hu down. In fact, Xiao Wentao had already planned to kill him to silence him.]

Lingxi?

Finally, I got to the point.

Emperor Qixuan gave Concubine Shu a look. Seeing this, Concubine Shu stood up with Yaoyao in her arms and said, "Yao'er seems to be sleepy. I will take my leave first."

Chu Yaoyao blinked.

【I’m not sleepy. 】

After making sure they had left, Emperor Qixuan ordered: "Send someone to Lingxi immediately..."

…

"Commander Zhao, please stay!"

Zhao Chengwen turned around and asked, "What do you want, Your Highness?"

The prince handed him a small wooden box and said, "Please ask Commander Zhao to pass this on to your sister."

Zhao Chengwen looked at the prince's hurried back, then looked at the wooden box in his hand.

He said that Xiaoqi was not in the right state last night! She was smiling foolishly and in a daze.

When asked what was wrong, she didn't say anything.

Could it be that Xiaoqi couldn't hold back and poured out her heart to the prince last night?

And she even forced the gift on the prince? The prince must have been concerned about her reputation as a girl and didn't refuse her in person, so she let him take it back...

It's broken. It's broken.

His sister was rejected by the prince!
