After a while, the emperor looked at Long San and said in a deep voice, "Find a few capable people to take Marquis Anding to Qingyun Palace. No one is allowed to see him. In addition, all those people in the manor will be thrown into the Heavenly Prison."
"yes."
Long San responded and immediately found someone to make arrangements.
Soon, several Qinglong Guards ran over and carried the unconscious Marquis Anding to the carriage transporting gold, silver and jewelry.
Immediately afterwards, the guards escorted the strong man who was guarding the manor out.
In the yard, only the emperor's men and piles of treasures were left.
The emperor turned around, bent down, and picked up Su Qiqi, who was lying on the blanket playing with a pearl necklace.
"Are you hungry, little one?"
Su Qiqi's eyes sparkled:
【Eating isn't just about filling your stomach! You can also satisfy your cravings even when you're not hungry!】
I want to try the spicy chicken, rabbit, osmanthus cake, crab roe pastry, fermented rice wine, small glutinous rice balls, and steamed taro spareribs...
After naming a long list of dishes, Su Qiqi became more and more excited, waving her hands non-stop.
However, all she could make was a "hum hum ha ha" sound. Others had no idea what she was saying.
Suddenly, Su Qiqi stopped laughing and looked unhappy.
[My teeth haven't fully grown yet, so I can't eat anything. I can't even speak clearly!]
[Wow, this is so hard for me! My mouth has no taste!]
Looking at Su Qiqi's sometimes happy and sometimes sad face, the emperor rubbed her little head lovingly.
"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Long San came over and asked: "Where is the emperor going?"
"Zhenbei General's Mansion."
After saying that, the emperor hugged Su Qiqi and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Long San raised his hand and waved.
Two Azure Dragon Guards immediately ran over: "Third Brother."
"Watch this place carefully. Make sure everything is delivered to the palace safely. No mistakes can be made."
After giving the instructions, Long San immediately chased after him.
//
The carriage was bumpy all the way and Su Qiqi was fast asleep.
It was already noon when we arrived at the gate of General Zhenbei's Mansion.
The emperor's sudden visit made the people in the Zhenbei General's Mansion panic.
In the yard, a group of men, women, young and old knelt upright.
They shouted "Long live the emperor" and buried their heads, fearing that they would accidentally anger the emperor.
The servant brought a chair and placed it respectfully in front of the emperor.
The emperor held the sleeping and snoring Su Qiqi in his arms, but did not sit down.
He ordered, "Ask the cook to make some fish soup. Use less salt and oil, and remove the fish bones."
"Yes," Su Mingyang said flatteringly, "The chef in the palace is good at making mutton and chicken soup. Your Majesty, please try it later..."
"No need, the fish soup is for Qiqi. I came here just to burn incense for General Zhenbei and Madam Weiguo."
Before Su Mingyang could finish his words, the emperor refused.
In fact, he did not leave the palace today to come to the General Zhenbei's Mansion.
His goal had already been achieved.
It's just a show, so of course we have to do it completely.
"Qiqi?"
Only then did Su Mingyang look at Su Qiqi in the emperor's arms.
I heard that the emperor made Su Qiqi a princess and gave her many treasures. I thought the emperor was just doing it for show, but I didn't expect he really cared about that little girl.
How could a little girl born to an older girl of unknown origin, who was of humble origin, deserve such treatment?
Don’t worry about shortening your life!
A hint of disdain flashed in Su Mingyang's eyes.
He stood up and approached the emperor: "Your Majesty, this girl has grown so heavy from eating so much. Please let me hold her."
"No need." The emperor said this and exerted a little force on his arms.
A five-month-old baby wasn't too heavy, but his hands did feel a little sore from carrying it all the way.
But even so, he was willing to hold it himself.
Su Mingyang's wife, Zhang, said, "Your Majesty, Su Qiqi is young and ignorant and loves to cry. If she stays with you, I'm afraid she will disturb your peace. Yu'er is four years old this year, can speak and dance, and is well-educated and well-mannered. Why don't you adopt Yu'er?"
As she spoke, she pushed out the girl kneeling beside her as if she were presenting a treasure.
"Mom..." Four-year-old Su Ruyu was very scared and shrank into Zhang's arms.
Zhang glared at her and coaxed her, "Don't be shy, child. The emperor will not treat you unfairly."
"How outrageous!" the emperor shouted.
Su Qiqi, who was sleeping, was startled and opened her eyes in a daze.
"Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Zhang knew that her words had angered the emperor, so she kowtowed and admitted her mistake.
"Su Qiqi is the Princess Chaoyang, whom I personally conferred upon her. How can you call her by her name?"
The emperor was extremely angry.
In fact, Zhang's intention was too obvious. How could he not see Zhang's little plan?
"I have always treated Su Qiqi as my own daughter, so I called her by her name. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Zhang was still defending herself.
Su Qiqi clenched her fists and cursed:
【Bullshit! You ungrateful, bad woman! 】
[He had been trying to sow discord and embarrass my parents before! After they died, he even wanted me to die of illness so he could take over the family fortune!]
"Now that I've become a princess, you want your daughter to take my place and enjoy wealth and glory. How despicable!"
[Wow, wow, when my country was destroyed and my family was ruined, they still deceived me and sold me to a brothel! I almost didn't escape!]
【What a vicious and cruel person! 】
Thinking of those plots, Su Qiqi couldn't help sobbing.
The emperor was heartbroken.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted coldly: "Su Mingyang, your rank will be demoted. Zhang, be sentenced to death."
