Chapter 213 Can You Take This Responsibility
When Su Shixia and Mr. Mo rushed to the front shop together, all the customers in the shop had already run away.

Qian Duoduo guarded several shop assistants behind her, and looked at the imperial guards around the door with a wary face, as if she would fight them desperately if anyone dared to make a move.

Hearing footsteps coming from the backyard, she immediately turned her head to look, and saw that Su Shixia was coming, she was relieved for a long time, walked quickly to Su Shixia, and reminded in a low voice:

"Princess, the way out ahead has been blocked by the imperial guards. I just wanted these guys in the store to leave and they wouldn't let them. I feel that the visitor is not friendly. You must be careful."

Su Shixia nodded slightly invisibly, straightened her back and strode to the door. When her eyes swept over the visitors, she noticed one of them, and her eyes could not help but froze.

In addition to the guards surrounding the outside, there were two particularly "conspicuous" figures standing at the main entrance of the store at this moment.

One person was dressed as a servant, with a white face and no beard, holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand. His expression looked very arrogant, and he could tell at a glance that he was the eunuch from the palace.

The other person was dressed as a bodyguard, standing behind the eunuch who passed the edict, as if he was accompanying the bodyguard.

When Su Shixia came over, the guard only raised his eyes and glanced at her, then quickly looked away.

Because he has always been very low-key, most people probably wouldn't pay much attention to him, but from the first moment he saw this guard, Su Shixia recognized him immediately - she had seen this man before!

In order to find clues about Taoist Jia, when she went to inspect the Taoist ruins, the guard once led her and Qin Yi the way.

Afterwards, she and Qin Yi explored the ruins of the Taoist temple together at night, and this guard also appeared. At that time, he was by the side of the national teacher Ye Li, and he was Ye Li's personal guard!
The Holy Majesty suddenly remembered her, Princess Pingxi, and it was not unusual to send a eunuch to deliver the decree, but the eunuch who delivered the decree was accompanied by the guards of the national teacher Yeli... This made Su Shixia have to be vigilant .

Su Shixia's heart was full of vigilance, but with a smile on his face, he stepped forward to politely exchange a few words with the eunuch who passed the decree.

The eunuch put on a business-like attitude, and after briefly introducing himself, he immediately raised up the bright yellow scroll in his hand, and shouted loudly with a shrill voice:

"Princess Pingxi, Su Shixia, accept the order!"

Su Shixia led everyone in the store to kneel down, and the eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and read it in a rhythmic tone.

At the beginning of the imperial decree, they all praised Qin Yi's achievements, and praised Su Shixia's contribution to raising Qin Yi's offspring over the years.

Su Shixia was baffled when he heard the eunuch change the subject, and finally got to the point.

"Last night, there were natural disasters in many places in Dongling. According to the deduction of the master of the state and Si Tianjian, there is a disaster star coming to the country, and there may be another catastrophe in Dongling. To avoid this disaster, the only way to rely on King Pingxi."

The moment Su Shixia heard these words, she even doubted her own ears.

She lost her composure and slightly raised her eyes to look at the eunuch delivering the decree, but the eunuch just focused on reciting the imperial decree and didn't notice her strangeness at all.

On the contrary, the guard standing beside the eunuch passing the decree was also looking at Su Shixia at this time.

Su Shixia's gaze met his, and the guard did not dodge or dodge. Su Shixia even saw clearly that he seemed to twitch the corner of his lips slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression.

Su Shixia's heart sank, and she already thought that Ye Li might be the one behind the delivery of the decree.

As soon as this idea flashed in my mind, the eunuch who passed the decree finally said the most critical part.

It is said that Qin Yi is the pillar and important minister of Dongling Kingdom. When the country is in crisis, he should have gone to the disaster area immediately to provide relief. However, he is now seriously injured and unable to move. Additional personnel will be sent to the disaster area.

Su Shixia almost laughed.

Qin Yi is now pretending to the outside world that he is going to die at any time. If the Holy One still sends him to some disaster-stricken area to provide disaster relief at this time, it is better to say that he is going to send him a funeral.

She was secretly slandering that the imperial decree was too hypocritical, so she heard the eunuch who delivered the decree follow suit: "The national teacher asserted that in the entire Dongling Kingdom, only King Pingxi and his descendant's bloodline can secure the fate of the country and suppress natural disasters. "

There was a buzzing sound in Su Shixia's mind, and the hand that was originally flat on the ground was clenched into a fist.

The eunuch passing the decree glanced at Su Shixia, and continued to read the imperial decree in a shrill voice.

"In order to keep Pingxi King's life safe, I ordered Pingxi King to move to Pingxi Prince's Mansion within three days to take care of him. In order to suppress natural disasters and protect the stability of Dongling, Qin Zhan, the son of Pingxi King Qin Yi, was specially ordered to go to the Royal Fahua Temple to fast and worship Buddha in March , to pray for the Dongling Kingdom."

The Xuanzhi eunuch then said some high-sounding clichés, but Su Shixia didn't bother to listen carefully.

It wasn't until he yelled again at the top of his voice to let Su Shixia take over the decree that Su Shixia slowly stood up, strode stiffly to the side of the eunuch, and took the imperial decree from him .

"Princess, you have accepted the imperial decree, and you should have understood what the Holy Majesty meant."

"This is a major matter related to the fate of the Dongling Kingdom, and there must be no delay. It is not too late. Please, Princess Qin, quickly pack up the replacement clothes for Young Master Qin Zhan. Our family will accompany these Imperial Guards to personally escort Qin. Young Master Zhan is going to Fahua Temple."

"Excuse me, my father-in-law."

The corners of Su Shixia's lips twitched politely and said with a polite smile: "Please wait a moment, father-in-law. I'll go and pack up my things right away. After a while, I'll take Zhan'er to Fahua Temple with you."

When the father-in-law heard Su Shixia's words, he immediately frowned.

"Princess Pingxi, the imperial decree only said that young master Qin Zhan should go to Fahua Temple to pray for blessings, but it didn't say that you can go together..."

"The imperial decree said that again, I can't go with my son?"

Su Shixia's words choked the father-in-law. He opened his mouth and was about to refute, when Su Shixia followed suit: "Isn't it all said in the imperial decree? Only Qin Yi and my son's fate can ensure the prosperity of the country. Natural disasters, Qin Yi's life is now in danger, hope is now on my son."

"He's less than five years old now. There's no mother like me to take care of such a young child. If something happens to him in Fahua Temple, will you take care of him?"

Su Shixia raised her chin high and assumed a domineering and arrogant posture.

"Aren't you afraid of hurting my son, are you also afraid of damaging the fate of the country? If my son is sick because of your ineffective care, or because we forcibly separated our mother and child, if the real national movement is in turmoil and natural disasters are imminent, this responsibility , who should bear the burden?!"

"If father-in-law really doesn't want to see our mother and son together, you can go to the palace now to ask for an order, and let the holy majesty personally issue an order to separate our mother and son."

"No one wants my son to leave my side until the Holy Majesty makes a decree!"

After Su Shixia said this, without looking at the father-in-law again, she turned around and strode towards the backyard.
