Before Mu Qingyu could finish speaking, Su Jinxiu had already run away with the dog in her arms.
Afraid of running too slow, Mu Qingyu regretted attacking her.
A man in black stepped out and bowed respectfully.
"Master, are you going to chase me?"
Looking at the fleeing figure, Mu Qingyu's eyes were full of loneliness.
"No need, escort her back.
Don't call anyone to hurt her..."
The man in black took the order and left. Mu Qingyu packed up the bodies in the forest and left.
Seeing Mu Qingyu murder with her own eyes, Su Jinxiu was terrified.
Even with the dog in his arms, he did not dare to go back to the small courtyard where he lived alone, but instead went to the palace instead.
To be on the safe side, I will still live in the palace today.
In case Mu Qingyu couldn't figure it out and wanted to kill her to silence her.
I just arrived in front of the palace, but I haven't knocked on the door yet.
The door was opened, Can Yue looked at Su Jinxiu, and asked her to come in.
"Miss Su, please come in, everything is ready."
Su Jinxiu nodded and walked in with the dog in her arms.
Looking at the heavy door closing behind me, I felt a little more secure.
"It's so late, has the prince fallen asleep?
I, I didn’t disturb him, did I?”
The waning moon led Su Jinxiu back to the courtyard and replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty is busy today and has not returned home yet.
Miss Su, you can rest assured and just call us if you need anything."
Su Jinxiu didn't ask any further questions and returned to the room with the dog in her arms.
——————————
At this moment in the palace, Xiao Jingze looked at Xiao Xiguang, who was sitting in a high position, with cold eyes.
"Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the ministers in the court by doing this?
Mr. Li is Taifu Li's disciple. He is upright and loyal.
But after just a few words of advice to the emperor, everyone in the family was slaughtered?
If word spreads, who will dare to show loyalty to the emperor in the future?
If things continue like this, no one in the court will dare to tell the truth to the emperor."
Xiao Xiguang looked tired, put his hand to his lips and yawned.
He didn't take Xiao Jingze's words to heart at all.
"The imperial uncle came into the palace so late and woke me up from bed.
Just for talking about this matter? Master Li was slaughtered with his whole family?
I don’t know anything about it, are you serious that not a single person was left alive?”
Seeing Xiao Jingze's cold expression, Xiao Xiguang couldn't help but feel happy.
"It's really pitiful. I remember that Mr. Li's youngest son is only ten years old?
Perhaps Mr. Li is usually too talkative and has secretly offended others.
That's why we ended up like this.
Don't worry, Uncle Emperor, I will definitely order someone to investigate thoroughly.
It's getting late, and we have to go to the morning early tomorrow.
The emperor's uncle can stop resting, but I can't.
If nothing happens, please come back, uncle!"
As if he knew what Xiao Jingze was thinking, Xiao Xiguang couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
"No matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with me, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will not divorce me because of this matter.
Uncle Emperor, it’s better not to worry too much.
If you have this free time, why not think about how to marry Miss Su?
If your uncle wants to, I can help you get married..."
Xiao Jingze glanced at Xiao Xiguang coldly and didn't want to say anything.
"Your Majesty, it's better to focus on business.
You don’t need to worry about my king’s affairs.”
After saying that, he turned around and left the imperial study room.
Xiao Xiguang watched Xiao Jingze leave, and the smile on his lips gradually turned cold.
Not long after, I heard that Mu Qingyu was back.
He motioned to the eunuch and summoned the people in.
Seeing Mu Qingyu's expression as usual, Xiao Xiguang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and chuckle.
"Unexpectedly, Muda people are so magnificent.
When he moved his hands, he was extremely ruthless.
I did a good job this time, so Li Ming dared to rebuke me in the court.
To say that I shouldn't miss Mrs. Li's daughter, huh, is really a coward.
I am the Son of Heaven, the woman of this world.
As long as I see it, it's all mine.
Then Li Yanran wasn't born with stunning looks. If it wasn't for the purpose of winning over the Taifu,
I don't want to include her in the harem either.
I heard that Mr. Li intends to marry Li Yanran to my imperial uncle?
One by one, it’s really a good idea.”
Because of what happened tonight, Xiao Xiguang has completely let go of his doubts about Mu Qingyu.
It is as if he regards people as his confidants.
Mu Qingyu kept his head down, waiting for Xiao Xiguang to finish.
After thinking carefully, he replied.
"Doesn't it mean that the regent is sincere to Miss Su? He probably won't marry that Li Yanran either.
Your Majesty, you can rest assured.
But there is no need to rush for a while, lest there will be any rift with the Taifu.
It will also be difficult to behave in the court."
Xiao Xiguang snorted coldly and moved his fingertips slightly.
"I know, that's why I didn't force Taifu.
However, this matter cannot be left out for too long.
I sent people to investigate and found out that the emperor's uncle did treat Su Jinxiu differently.
I'm afraid, I'm sincerely moved.
I have been searching for the emperor's uncle's weakness for so many years, and finally found it.
I have to say that Su Jinxiu's appearance is indeed outstanding.
I have met him once, no wonder the emperor's uncle is so excited.
Mr. Mu, please help me think about how to destroy Su Jinxiu.
Only then can we completely defeat the emperor’s uncle?”
Mu Qingyu lowered his head, a coldness flashed across his eyes.
The tone was as usual, without any clues.
“This matter needs to be considered in the long term.
But you can't scare the snake first. If the prince becomes suspicious, take precautions first.
Your Majesty, your efforts have fallen short..."
Xiao Xiguang trusted Mu Qingyu very much at this moment and nodded.
"I know, we will plan this matter slowly.
Okay, you’ve worked hard today, go back and rest first!”
After Mu Qingyu left, Xiao Xiguang ordered someone to drive to Anning Palace.
It's almost dawn, but Xu Yingying hasn't slept yet.
Seeing Xiao Xiguang coming in, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty is here. Your Majesty is not here, and even my concubines cannot sleep."
Xiao Xiguang put his arm around Xu Yingying's waist and brought her to the bed.
"Me too, I would feel uneasy if I didn't come to your place.
I see you look much better today, are you ready for food?"
Xu Yingying nodded and snuggled into Xiao Xiguang's arms.
"Wang Tian went out to the palace today and learned a fresh dish to cook for my concubine.
The concubine rarely had an appetite, so she took a few more bites.
However, compared to the dishes cooked by Wang Tian.
The news he brought was even more appetizing to my concubine.
Hasn’t the Emperor been exploring Su Jinxiu’s affairs? What a coincidence.
Today, Wang Tian happened to see Su Jinxiu competing with others in cooking skills, and he praised Su Jinxiu a few times.
Isn’t it true that the emperor is worried about not being able to invite people into the palace? I, my concubine, have come up with a good idea.”
Someone brought a pillow to him when he was dozing off, and Xiao Xiguang immediately became interested.
Supporting Xu Yingying, she asked eagerly.
"Tell me quickly, how to get Su Jinxiu into the palace?
Not only does Su Jinxiu not be able to refuse, but also the emperor has no reason to stop her."
The key is that only when people are under his nose can he have a way to check and balance Xiao Jingze.
Xu Yingying hooked her fingers and motioned for Xiao Xiguang to come closer.
After talking like this, Xiao Xuguang's eyes lit up.
"That's a good idea. Okay, when the time comes, we'll do it like this..."
Because of his happiness, Xiao Xiguang no longer felt sleepy.
Seeing that it was almost time, he changed his clothes and went to court.
