One suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, the other broke his leg, and both of these misfortunes occurred at this time. The news from Prince Yi's side had just arrived at the palace yesterday, and this happened today.
Is it mysterious?
mysterious!
Even the Emperor found it suspicious, but he genuinely didn't want the old general to get involved in this mess. Whether the old general was truly unwilling or someone else was behind it, he had no intention of pursuing any wrongdoing on the part of the Su family.
"If General Su isn't going, who does His Majesty intend to send on the expedition?" Eunuch Lu asked cautiously.
"Didn't you already think of everything for me?" The Emperor glanced at Xiao Luzi with a sly look. After so many years together, this guy was already inside his head.
When the Emperor said that, Eunuch Lu became somewhat embarrassed.
Just as the two were happy, a young eunuch ran in from outside: "Your Majesty, the Empress has sent someone to the Su family."
"This woman!" the Emperor said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, the Empress sent Lord Sai!" The eunuch paused for a moment and then added.
"That shrew!" The Emperor angrily overturned the things on the table and said in a somewhat flustered manner, "Go and see what Sai Miaoshou is up to?"
"This servant will go right away!" the eunuch said before leaving.
The Emperor stood up angrily, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, then irritably returned. He looked up at Xiao Luzi, whose brow was furrowed, and asked, "Do you think the Su family is related to Zhan'er?"
"In my opinion, it's probably true!" Eunuch Lu had long suspected the Su family.
"That's fine then!" The Emperor nodded in satisfaction, walked around to his desk, wrote an imperial edict, and handed it to Xiao Luzi: "Go! Let's see what that shrew can do to me."
Upon seeing the contents of the imperial edict, Xiao Luzi burst into laughter, quite unkindly. He rolled up the edict, gave a thumbs-up, and exclaimed, "Brilliant! The Emperor is indeed brilliant! This time, the Empress and the Crown Prince will probably be crying."
...
Qian Youxue had long anticipated that the Empress would send Sai Miaoshou to the Su family to investigate the truth. Although she was confident in herself, she was also worried that Sai Miaoshou might have other plans. She paced back and forth anxiously several times, sighing repeatedly.
After Xuan Mingye returned, he had been reviewing the case files submitted from below. He had rested for a few days, but there were still quite a few files. However, the girl's constant presence in front of him was making him somewhat irritable.
"Come sit down for a while, aren't you tired from walking around?" He beckoned to Qian Youxue.
Qian Youxue sighed again in annoyance, walked to the table in front of Xuan Mingye, took the tea he handed her, took a sip, and then said, "Aren't you worried that Sai Miaoshou might use poison?"
"Silly!" Xuan Mingye poked Qian Youxue's forehead with a doting smile.
What do you mean?
Qian Youxue said she didn't understand what the certain demon meant.
"Have you forgotten about sending Uncle Long to capture Sai Miaoshou last night?" Xuan Mingye kindly reminded her. The Empress had ordered Granny Wang to invite Sai Miaoshou to the Su family, provided that Granny Wang could find Sai Miaoshou!
Qian Youxue blinked her big eyes blankly. How could she have forgotten about this?
It seems that I didn't see Uncle Long or Uncle Cai when I came back. Could it be that Uncle Long has already brought Sai Miaoshou back?
"Where is he?" she asked Xuan Mingye curiously.
"I don't know!" Xuan Mingye said, clearly displeased with the tone of her voice.
All right!
There's a proper way to ask someone for a favor!
Qian Youxue quickly realized this, stood up and poured a cup of tea for the certain devil, then handed it to him with both hands in a very proper manner: "Your Highness, please have some tea!"
Um!
Xuan Mingye took the tea with satisfaction, took a sip, then put down the cup and pulled her to sit on his lap.
Qian Youxue instinctively wanted to break free, but remembering that she needed his help, she could only helplessly purse her lips and obediently sit in his lap.
"You clearly don't want me that much, so why do you always pretend to hate me? Youxue, I've said it before, we're husband and wife now. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will stand by your side. Don't worry, the Su family will be fine. As for that old hag, I'll deal with her soon." Xuan Mingye spoke his heart to her calmly, hoping she wouldn't always be like a hedgehog, resisting his approach.
Qian Youxue fell silent. She had seen everything that the certain devil had done these past few days. For her sake, he was willing to stay at the Qian family home, to be nice to her grandmother, and even though he always preferred peace and quiet, he was willing to bring Bowen over. Most importantly, he directly asked Bu Yu to take Bowen as his disciple. What he did had indeed moved her.
However, there was something inexplicable in her heart that she couldn't quite put her finger on, and she still couldn't fully accept his presence.
"Come, I'll accompany you to interrogate that Master Sai and see what big secrets he's hiding?" Xuan Mingye held her flustered little hand, his tone still calm.
Qian Youxue's eyes lit up, and she turned around abruptly. Before she knew it, she was too fast and pressed her lips to his. Naturally, the devilish man wouldn't miss such an opportunity, and a passionate kiss nearly made her faint.
Ugh...
Qian Youxue tried to wave her hands, but someone quickly grabbed them again.
call……
After a deep kiss, Xuan Mingye, fearing that Qian Youxue might suffocate, pulled away from her lips, looking at her blushing face with satisfaction. He loved her shy yet playful demeanor; it was simply adorable.
"You bastard! You'll die if you don't take advantage of others, grandma..." Qian Youxue was so angry that her face turned red, and she glared at him so much that she almost raised her hand to slap him.
However, remembering that she still needed his help with many things, her momentum quickly subsided. Like a wronged little rabbit, she pouted and looked at him.
"If you don't want us to be stuck here, you'd better not look at me like that." Xuan Mingye was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist taking her right now. He tried his best to control himself, afraid of scaring her like he did that night, so he didn't make a move.
Qian Youxue immediately jumped off him, straightened her clothes, and strode ahead angrily. She opened the door, where Yun He and Leng Xue were guarding it.
Xuan Mingye's lips curled into a wicked smile. This kind of situation would happen frequently in the future, so, being as clever as he was, he immediately summoned Buyu after bringing Qian Bowen back. Without Qian Youxue even needing to speak, he told Buyu to take Qian Bowen in.
Qian Bowen can both strengthen his body and practice martial arts, which will surely please the woman. As for whether she will be happy or not, that's not his concern.
However, she glared at him fiercely at the time, which shows that taking on a disciple wasn't something she disliked. But, for the sake of his woman's happiness, he could only pretend not to see it.
