A three-and-a-half-year-old max-level ancestor, mistakenly bound to a system to be de

Chapter 10 Even the Imperial Aunt wouldn't go so far as to poison him.
Emperor Xuanhe then realized that his little aunt wanted to see Empress Xiaociren.

Just as Emperor Xuanhe was thinking about how to comfort his little princess, Sui Sui wiped away her tears and said, "Sui Sui, don't cry. Sui Sui has to protect Daqing and its people. I can't let Father and Mother down."

Upon hearing his aunt's words, Emperor Xuanhe's heart softened instantly.

The little princess is only three and a half years old, but she already knows that she should protect Daqing and its people. How could he give up so easily?

To divert the young princess's attention, Emperor Xuanhe inquired about the Yaoguang Palace.

Only then did I realize that the little princess had woken up in the middle of the night last night.

I went to the Scarlet Jade Garden, and then to the Golden Palace, intending to wait for him. I fell asleep while waiting.

They also learned that the treasures in Yaoguang Palace had been taken away by the young princess, not stolen.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little Princess, do you know that all the peach trees in the Scarlet Jade Garden have borne fruit?"

"Oh, so that's the result?"

I don't know about this tassel.

"Yes, they've all borne fruit. They must have all borne fruit overnight because of your awakening, Little Princess. Even the peach trees are celebrating your awakening."

Sui Sui didn't think that much about it.

She thought, "If the peach tree bears fruit, then I'll have sweet peaches to eat."

Just then, Liu De came in.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince requests an audience."

The Crown Prince requests an audience?

"Is he the Crown Prince's grand-nephew? Sui Sui wants to see him." Sui Sui, with her little ears, heard this and hurriedly said.

"Then let the Crown Prince in, nephew." Emperor Xuanhe gestured to Liu De to let the Crown Prince in.

Soon, Crown Prince Baili Heng, dressed in an apricot-yellow brocade robe, entered.

The Crown Prince is thirty-eight years old this year.

His appearance was inherited from his ancestors; he had delicate features, was handsome and refined, and had a gentle temperament, like a piece of warm jade, giving people a very kind and gentle feeling.

He was tall and slender like bamboo, with an upright and dignified posture.

Sui Sui is a sucker for good looks and has always loved beautiful colors.

He was very pleased to see this grand-nephew of the Crown Prince and was in a good mood.

As soon as the Crown Prince entered, he kowtowed to Sui Sui, saying, "Nephew Baili Heng greets Imperial Aunt."

"Your Highness, please get up. Come, sit down." Sui Sui invited the Crown Prince's nephew to sit down.

The crown prince then took a seat in the lower position.

The jingling of tassels signifies that the younger generation comes to pay respects to the elders, who are expected to give gifts in return.

What should I give?
Sui Sui reached into the purse at her waist.

With a single move, he pulled out a gleaming broadsword, which startled both Emperor Xuanhe and the Crown Prince.

How could such a large knife be pulled out of such a tiny purse, no bigger than the palm of your hand?

"Little Princess, danger, danger! Children shouldn't play with such dangerous weapons," Emperor Xuanhe hurriedly said cautiously.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanhe also recognized the large sword.

Isn't this broadsword one of the treasures that was previously kept in the Yaoguang Palace?

It was specially commissioned by the founding emperor to be forged by the best craftsmen using meteorites from outer space. It is said that it can cut iron like mud.

"It's not dangerous." That's it...

Sui Sui looked at the large sword and the prince, feeling that their demeanors didn't match.

So, Sui Sui put the big knife back in.

Emperor Xuanhe/Crown Prince: !!!
This little purse, is it perhaps like the magic bag in those storybooks, capable of holding anything?

For a moment, Emperor Xuanhe and the Crown Prince were extremely curious about the small purse.

The next second, Sui Sui took out another thing.

Oh, it's a booklet.

Sui Sui suddenly realized that this was all the reward she was given.

Oh, right, she had thought about giving this to the emperor's nephew.

"Here you are, Your Majesty's nephew."

Although Emperor Xuanhe didn't know what it was, he still quickly accepted it with both hands. The book was thick, but there were no words on the cover.

Emperor Xuanhe curiously opened it and took a look; what he saw there was astonishing.

This booklet contains information about the current officials of the Daqing Dynasty.

Regardless of rank, everyone is listed here.

Furthermore, each person's affiliation, capabilities, and past deeds (both good and bad) are clearly indicated, along with specific dates, potential, and areas of expertise.

The more Emperor Xuanhe looked, the more excited he became.

With this booklet, he could discern which faction each court official belonged to, who could be trusted and employed, and who could not.

Assign positions to those who are good at what they do, so that they can make the most of their talents.

So good, so good.

Of course, when Emperor Xuanhe glanced through the documents, he also saw many corrupt officials.

It naturally lists what the corrupt official did, how much silver he embezzled, and where he hid it.

Ok.

These are all solid pieces of evidence.

These corrupt officials are just waiting for his guillotine to fall.

The money they embezzled was used to replenish the national treasury, which is now completely empty.

Otherwise, Emperor Xuanhe wouldn't have had to constantly use his private treasury to replenish it.

However, his private coffers are almost depleted.

Emperor Xuanhe felt that he must have been the poorest emperor in the history of the Daqing Dynasty.

"Little Imperial Aunt, this booklet you gave me is truly a treasure. I will make good use of it." Emperor Xuanhe closed the booklet and thanked his little imperial aunt with great emotion.

Sui Sui was very happy to see that the emperor's nephew liked the gift she gave him so much.

"You're welcome." She leaned closer and whispered in Emperor Xuanhe's ear, "If Sui Sui has anything good in the future, she'll give it to you."

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes lit up even more. "Thank you, Little Imperial Aunt."

Meanwhile, Sui Sui finally took out the gift she wanted to give to the Crown Prince's grand-nephew.

"Here you are, Your Highness the Crown Prince's grand-nephew."

Crown Prince Baili Heng accepted the small box, which was no bigger than his great-aunt's palm.

Then open...

Then, I saw a golden pill in the box.

Emperor Xuanhe: What is this? It looks very precious.

"Grandma, what is this?" the Crown Prince asked, puzzled.

Sui Sui tilted her head and thought for a moment. She remembered that this was the gift that Tong Tong had given her last night.

All of these were gifts for her when we met.

There was a small pouch at her waist, and two pills.

She ate one pill, something called "Infinite Strength Pill," because she was hungry and it smelled delicious.

There's only this one left.

Well... Sui Sui has almost forgotten its name.

"I don't know, Sui Sui forgot. Your Highness, it's a good thing, delicious. You can have it."

Crown Prince: ...

My great-aunt is a lucky star; the things she gives must all be good things.

It couldn't possibly be poison, could it?

Even the imperial aunt wouldn't go so far as to poison him.

Seeing how eagerly his grandmother looked for him to eat it, the Crown Prince gritted his teeth and finally decided to put the pill into his mouth.

Believe it or not, these pills melt in your mouth and have a slightly sweet taste.

Just ...

"Your Highness, how is it? Do you feel any difference?" Emperor Xuanhe asked.

The crown prince looked at his father, the emperor, and shook his head, indicating that nothing had changed.
