There are only two memorial tablets in the huge ancestral hall.
The Su family is not a big family.
Su Minghui was originally a commoner who, by chance, saved the emperor from being trapped while hunting. He also stood out in the army with his martial arts and knowledge.
Later, he met the chivalrous woman Qiao Xue, who was a wanderer in the martial arts world, and married her. Together, they fought against enemy troops on the border many times and won many military exploits.
After this, Su Minghui was favored by the emperor and received numerous rewards. Qiao Xue was also granted the title of First-Rank Lady of the State of Wei. This marked the beginning of the Su family's establishment in the capital.
Su Minghui's official position could not be promoted any higher, and Su Mingyang had some ability. Therefore, the emperor gave Su Mingyang an official position of neither light nor heavy.
Originally, this family could have lived happily. Unfortunately, the border was in chaos and the people were living in poverty.
Su Minghui had no choice but to go on another expedition, and this time he was away for more than half a year.
Qiao Xue stayed at home to take care of her pregnancy, but was framed by the Su family in both open and covert ways, and eventually died in childbirth.
Su Minghui was also ambushed and died on the battlefield.
Su Qiqi was being cared for by Qiao Xue's maid. Over the past few months, she had been on the verge of life and death many times...
Recalling the plot in the book, Su Qiqi finally sighed helplessly.
[It's so miserable. 】
At this time, the emperor handed Su Qiqi to Long San, and then personally lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the spirit tablet.
The emperor lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned around and reached out again, hugging Su Qiqi.
"Come, Qiqi. Say a few words to your parents, so they can rest in peace."
Su Qiqi glanced at the emperor speechlessly: [I want to speak too, but now I can only babbling!]
She turned back and looked at the memorial tablet in front of her:
[Dad and Mom, meeting each other is fate. Please bless me to live a few more years!]
"As long as I live, I promise to burn paper for you every year! May you live happily ever after and become wealthy men and women! Every New Year and festival, I'll offer you pig heads, pig tails, chickens, ducks, fish, and geese as tributes."
"Oh right, every wrong has its perpetrator. Dad, go and pester Prince Gong. He was the one who set up the ambush! Mom, go find Su Mingyang and Zhang!"
[I've told you the story, so please bless me with a long life!]
Su Qiqi said "Aba Aba" to herself, clasped her hands together, and looked extremely pious.
The emperor was stunned when he heard this.
The General Zhenbei wasn't ambushed by the enemy, but was murdered by Prince Gong's men?!
His seventh brother is the culprit? !
Moreover, Mrs. Weiguo’s death was not just an ordinary difficult childbirth?
At this moment, the emperor had mixed feelings.
"Minghui, you and your wife can rest assured. With me here, no one dares to bully Qiqi. I will gradually eliminate those bugs hiding in the shadows, and I will also do it for you..."
This is a promise made to the deceased, and it is also a warning to ourselves.
He didn't finish what he said next.
//
Back in the front yard, the servant brought in steaming fish soup.
At this time, Su Qiqi was drooling with greed. She waved her hands, wishing she could just pick up the fish soup and drink it in one gulp.
[It smells so good! ]
【Wow, this is real food! 】
"Tyrant Godfather, you understand me the best! As long as I drink fish soup every day, I won't have so many complaints about getting up early."
"Don't be impatient."
The emperor patted Su Qiqi to comfort her and looked up at Long San and winked.
Long San took out the silver needle he carried with him and placed it in the fish soup.
After waiting for a while, the silver needle still did not change color. After confirming that the fish soup was non-toxic, Long San brought the fish soup to the emperor.
The emperor scooped up some thick and delicious fish soup with a small spoon, blew on it, and fed it to Su Qiqi's mouth.
Su Qiqi ate with great satisfaction.
The emperor laughed when he saw this and fed him little by little without getting tired of it.
Su Mingyang waited on the side, with his head lowered and his waist hunched, not daring to speak or leave.
The emperor didn't finish feeding Su Mingyang the bowl of fish soup until his feet were numb from standing.
Putting down the spoon, the emperor stood up holding Su Qiqi and said, "Let's go back to the palace."
"yes."
Long San and several Qinglong Guards followed behind the emperor.
Walk out of the courtyard and through the corridor.
A figure was sneaking around and following quietly.
Long San raised his eyebrows slightly, jumped up, ran to the woman and grabbed her.
The woman wanted to struggle, but was held tightly by Long San and dragged in front of the emperor.
"Who are you? Why are you spying on me like a ghost?" The emperor looked at the woman scrutinizingly.
The woman was wearing ragged servant's clothes, with bruises and red marks on her face, and she looked very haggard.
She knelt before the emperor, glanced at Su Qiqi, who was in his arms, and said, "I, Hongye, was originally the little... princess's personal maid. When I heard that the emperor had brought the princess back home, I missed her very much. For a moment, I was selfish and wanted to take a look in private..."
"This is not a place you can come to! Get out of here! If you disturb the Holy Emperor, you won't deserve to have your heads chopped off even if you have ten!"
As soon as Hongye finished speaking, Su Mingyang shouted at her, his eyes full of disgust and contempt.
The emperor glanced at Su Mingyang with dissatisfaction: "Did I let you speak?"
His tone was slightly raised, and he was intimidating without being angry.
Su Mingyang panicked and quickly explained in a flattering manner, "Your Majesty, please understand. This servant has ulterior motives and is clumsy in her actions. I was just afraid that she might disturb you!"
Finally, as if suddenly remembering something, he added, "She previously neglected her duties and failed to take good care of the princess, causing her to catch a cold. I have punished her, but now, her words cannot be trusted."
