Chapter 58 Then I’ll help you kill her!
Xihe uttered a weak "hmm" and began to complain bitterly, "The Empress Dowager really doesn't like me. First she criticized my father, and now she insists on releasing Consort Shu. She also doesn't care about the lives of those palace maids and eunuchs who died in vain. I talked back and... I got scolded."
Xiao Mingxuan stopped tapping on the table mid-sentence. He stared intently at Xihe and asked after a moment, "Xiao Xier, do you...care about the lives of those people? Even though you may not even know their names and have never seen them."
Xihe tilted her head slightly and said righteously, "Of course those who make mistakes should be punished, but those are innocent people. Why should innocent people be hurt?"
Then the little girl smiled shyly, "If my brother was here, he would definitely think so too."
Xiao Mingxuan looked up, perhaps stimulated by the light in Xihe's eyes, and couldn't help but turn his head slightly away, thinking: "Xiao Xier, I don't care about the life and death of those people. Even if they all die, what does it have to do with me?"
Xiao Mingxuan remained silent and did not answer this question. Instead, he talked about another topic, "Xiao Xi'er, you don't like the Queen Mother, do you?"
The little girl pondered for a moment and shook her head. "If the Empress Dowager doesn't like me, then I... I won't like her either!"
"Okay, then I'll help you kill her." Xiao Mingxuan said casually with an indifferent look in his eyes.
"puff!"
The little girl choked on her tea, and it ran down the corners of her lips.
Xiao Mingxuan frowned and took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe the little girl's mouth. Just as his hand touched her lips, Xihe grabbed it.
"Little brother...don't do anything rash." Xihe's voice trembled slightly, which was unusual for her.
This was the first time that Xiao Mingxuan showed his murderous intent in front of Xihe without any concealment.
Xiao Mingxuan's eyes darkened, and he thought to himself, "Xiao Xi'er, are you scared already? What does this even mean?"
He didn't say it out loud, but instead asked, "She scolded you, and you hated her, so what's wrong with killing her?"
Xihe couldn't help swallowing, trying to change the other party's dangerous thoughts. "If you don't like her, just ignore her. Why kill her? Killing is not good. Don't do this, little brother!"
Xiao Mingxuan broke free from Xihe's little hand and carefully wiped the tea stains from the corners of her mouth, his eyes full of loneliness.
There is no doubt that their ideas are contradictory and they will eventually go in opposite directions.
But in an instant, Xiao Mingxuan made a decision in his heart.
"New life" can only last for three years, so we need to find a permanent solution.
Xiao Mingxuan didn't respond, nor did he continue to shout for war. Xihe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eat quickly, and then go back to the palace."
Xihe quietly looked at Xiao Mingxuan's expression, stretched out her little hand, and slowly moved over to cover Xiao Mingxuan's palm, "Little brother, we are all fine, okay? Xihe still wants to be with you for a long, long time."
"Remember what you said, Xiao Xi'er." Xiao Mingxuan stopped picking up the food and looked at Xihe seriously, saying, "If you dare to break your promise, I will..."
Xihe blinked and subconsciously asked, "What about you?"
Xiao Mingxuan suddenly chuckled, reached out and pinched the little girl's chubby face, leaned close to her ear and said, "I'm going to... throw you out of the window and grind you into a pulp to use as fertilizer for the flowers!"
A little girl was shaking like a sieve.
Big bad wolf! Eat people!

Xiao Mingxuan led a quail out of Yunfang Tower, and the two turned and headed towards the pharmacy in the south of the city.
The pharmacy prepared the medicine according to the prescription dictated by the little girl and handed it over.
Xiao Mingxuan didn't use pharmacology, so he touched the little girl's forehead and said, "You are not sick, what medicine do you want?"
Besides, the Imperial Medical Office doesn’t have any medicine, so why do you have to buy it from a pharmacy outside?
"I bought it for my fifth brother." Xihe didn't want to hide it from Xiao Mingxuan, so she told him everything.
Xiao Mingxuan had known for a long time that the little girl was a doctor, but he didn't expect that she could actually cure Zhao Zize's leg.
Xihe looked like she was begging for praise, "Brother, am I really amazing? Really smart! Really..."
The little girl was stuck for a moment.
Xiao Mingxuan chuckled and responded, "Yeah, quite impressive, a miracle doctor!"
Xihe suddenly opened her mouth wide, looking shocked.
Has the Big Bad Wolf changed his personality? Has he learned to praise people?
The little girl was about to pull someone away when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Xiaoliu?"
"Aunt!" Xihe immediately turned around and ran towards Zhao Wanyu, "Aunt! Xihe missed you so much!"
Since the last incident at the Xining Marquis' Mansion, Zhao Wanyu went to the West Camp and did not come to the New Year's Eve family dinner. So, I haven't seen him for nearly half a month.
Xiao Mingxuan, who had just stretched out his arms to receive someone, said: "..."
Heartless little girl! Just throw her away!
Zhao Wanyu was radiant. Not only had the unpleasant incident not hurt her in the slightest, but it had given her a new lease on life. She was dressed in red, bright and generous.
"I saw it from afar, it's really you." Zhao Wanyu liked the little girl Xihe so much that he wanted to hug her as soon as he saw her.
"Is this Princess Zhao Yuan?"
A slightly deep voice came from the side. Xihe turned around and saw a man with evil features. His narrow eyes were cold and indifferent. His long eyelashes blinked lightly, and there seemed to be cold stars in his eyes.
"Susu, who are you?"
Zhao Wanyu almost forgot about the person beside him and quickly pulled Xihe back from the side. "No one, just my aunt's... uh... friend."
The man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhao Wanyu with a half-smile, but he didn't mean to spoil the fun. "Yes, a friend... a very close... friend~"
"What is a very close friend?" Xihe suddenly looked at Xiao Mingxuan behind her and asked in a childish voice, "Is it like me and my little brother?"
Zhao Wanyu raised his eyes to look at Xiao Mingxuan not far away, his expression faded a little, and he turned around and patted Xihe on the butt, scolding with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense! If you say nonsense again, I'll beat you up!"
Xihe looked at Zhao Wanyu with a sad face, rolling on the ground, "Wow, auntie doesn't love me anymore, auntie wants to beat me for another man!"
The man next to him was the first to laugh out loud. He raised his eyelids slightly and made eye contact with Xiao Mingxuan who was not far away. Seeing the warning and vigilance in the other's eyes, the man's smile became even brighter.
Interesting, very interesting.
"You are such an interesting little girl."
He stared at Xiao Mingxuan's murderous expression, stretched out his hand to pinch the little girl's face, but suddenly stopped just a millimeter away.
"Don't touch her!" Xiao Mingxuan was too small and could only barely touch the man's waist. He grabbed the man's clothes tightly, his eyes full of coldness, "Xiao Xi'er is shy, you will scare her."
Zhao Wanyu reacted the fastest. When she lowered her head, she saw the little girl's hand tightly grasping the front of her shirt, and a look of panic on her little face.
