Xia Chiwan looked at Xia Zixuan with a smile, her eyes like crescent moons hanging in the sky.
Xia Chiwan obviously smiled very gently, at least it had nothing to do with the hateful appearance, but after receiving Xia Chiwan's smile, Xia Zixuan shivered and broke into a cold sweat on his back.
Xia Chiwan's smile deepened, yes, Xia Zixuan is only twelve years old now.
Therefore, Xia Zixuan still felt guilty after robbing others of their labor.
Unlike in the last life, at the end, Xia Zixuan clearly stabbed you with a knife, leaving you bleeding, and he could still call you second sister affectionately.
"This is the honor of our prime minister's office after all. Can I ask my eldest brother why the emperor rewarded you?"
"The emperor just saw that I was concerned about my eldest sister's injury and felt that it was not a big deal since we were brothers and sisters."
Xia Zixuan said a little unnaturally.
"That's the way it is." Xia Chiwan nodded, but did not expose Xia Zixuan's lies.
"After all, my eldest brother is the eldest son of the prime minister, and he is quite favored by the emperor. I think I went to the palace that night to ask for a doctor for my father, but I never got a reward from the emperor."
However, it is impossible to just let Xia Zixuan go.
Aunt Qiu saw Xia Zixuan's expression getting more and more weird, and knew that there must be something fishy about this reward.
So for Xia Zixuan, Aunt Qiu quickly handed over the key to Xia Chiwan, hoping that Xia Chiwan would take the key and leave quickly, so as not to embarrass Xia Zixuan again.
After getting the key, Xia Chiwan was satisfied.
"It seems that the eldest brother is really a noble person in our prime minister's palace. Not only can he get generous rewards from the emperor once he enters the palace, but even I am much more docile when doing things."
Xia Chiwan squinted at Xia Zixuan, and the hairs on Xia Zixuan's back stood up one by one.
He didn't even understand when he became so jealous of this useless second sister.
"No matter who the evil star in the master's mouth is, I am sure that it cannot be related to my eldest brother."
The word "evil star" was undoubtedly like a needle, piercing Aunt Qiu's nerves.
If she hadn't directed that play, how could Xia Furong be punished by Xia Boran to go to the nunnery to copy scriptures?
Otherwise, Xia Zixuan would not have to arrange that scene. Without that scene, Xia Furong's right hand would not be injured. If Xia Furong was not injured, she would naturally not be disabled.
When she thought that Xia Furong's right hand could no longer be saved, Aunt Qiu was shaken and almost fell down. Fortunately, Yueji had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold Aunt Qiu up.
"Since Aunt Qiu is not feeling well, I won't bother you. I will leave first. Aunt Qiu has a good rest."
After saying that, Xia Chiwan took the key and left Aunt Qiu's room gracefully.
As soon as Xia Chiwan left, Aunt Qiu lost her source of stimulation and felt much better. Then she drove the maids out and took Xia Zixuan's hand.
"Zixuan, tell my aunt what's going on with the emperor's reward!"
For no reason, why would the emperor reward Zixuan in this troubled autumn?
"It's nothing. It's just that the smallpox is very serious now. I suggested some ways to prevent the spread of smallpox to the emperor. The emperor was so happy that he rewarded his son."
Xia Zixuan spoke covertly.
"Smallpox, how dare you get involved in this matter!"
Aunt Qiu took a breath of air. It was the twenty-fourth year of Tianyuan, the late emperor was in power, and during the fourteenth year of Tianqing, a total of 50,000 people in the Great Zhou Kingdom died due to smallpox.
