Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 34 Return (6)

When Xiao Shu came, Xiao Yi had already left.

Xiao Yi, who was wearing a cotton robe and squatting on the couch, hugged the birdcage, staring at the birds inside, bored.

"emperor……"

Just as Xiao Shu said two words, Xiao Yi interrupted with resentment: "Don't call me like that, it's disgusting!"

"... Are you deflated again?"

"It's not just deflated, it's even sunken." Xiao Yi sighed and sat cross-legged, propping her face with one hand in great distress: "Zhengyan, I seem to regret it a little."

"Regret letting Yueyue go out?"

"I thought she was just playing around for fun, but who would have thought that she would make such a big commotion. Why do you have to set up a gossip organization to scoop up gossip?"

Xiao Shu thought about it for a while: "Is there something wrong with Brother Yi that I don't want her to know?"

"Everyone has a dark side, especially me." When Xiao Yi wasn't smiling, the line of her lips showed a bit of stern indifference: "All along, I hope that in Yueyue's heart, I can only be with her. My childhood sweetheart, brother Yi, play with her, laugh with her and make her happy. Let her live a simple, happy and carefree life under my protection, with only sunny days in her life."

Xiao Shu frowned slightly: "Could it be that she knows something she shouldn't know?"

"That's not true, or I'm not sure yet. But in fact, even if I know, it doesn't matter much. At the beginning, I just expressed my liking for Yueyue to Master Mo, just like I did to those guys in the past few years. But Zhengyan..." Xiao Yi put down the birdcage and stood up slowly: "You mean, no one really dares to rob the emperor of a woman? If it were you, wouldn't you?"

"Don't dare." Xiao Shu replied without hesitation: "I must not implicate the entire Xiao family because of my personal affair."

"Yeah, those guys have their own reasons for giving up, whether it's because of power or profit or fame or family affection... But I can't understand it more and more. What is he doing for and what is he seeking. "

"Brother Yi said, is it Master Mo?"

Xiao Yi flexed his muscles and walked to the window, looking at the clear sky: "I'm alone, with no attachments, and almost no weaknesses that can be threatened and restrained. Frankly speaking, if he is determined not to back down, I really can't put him down." How about it."

"Master Mo has lofty aspirations and a talent for governing the world. It is human nature to want to leave a name in history."

"Leave a name in history?" Xiao Yi suddenly smiled: "It's not like you don't know the style of our prime minister. There are many corrupt officials who have been brought down by his hands, but there are not a few innocent people who have been implicated. Even if the pens and inks of later historians do not blacken it, at least there will be mixed praise and criticism, and mixed reputation. I am afraid that this name will not be clear."

"Perhaps, he doesn't care about his fame before and after his life, he just wants to be a pure minister useful to the court and society."

"Do not form cliques or engage in private interests, and do not hesitate to make enemies for yourself everywhere in order to achieve your goals. Such a pure minister is indeed pure enough, so pure that he has no selfishness at all, and does not consider the slightest self-interest. 'The world is for the public' is easy to say, but I never believe it. Someone can do it." Xiao Yi's self-deprecating words seemed to carry the coldness of the cold wind outside the window: "I am really flattered to be so loyal to the emperor!"

Xiao Shu was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you suspect that Mo Xiang has other plans?"

Hearing this address, Xiao Yi twitched the corners of his lips, then raised them immediately, leaned against the window frame and turned around, immediately changed into an unscrupulous teasing expression: "Zheng Yan, the trust of an emperor is pitifully small. I I have given you all of my trust, so I can’t trust others anymore.” Seeing Xiao Shu’s serious expression, he approached with a smirk: “Do you feel pressured?”

Xiao Shu nodded seriously.

"Did you feel very moved?"

Xiao Shu continued to nod seriously.

"So, do you want to repay me?"

Xiao Shu bowed his body, and he spoke very fluently in a grandiose manner: "I wish to repay the emperor with all my heart and soul."

"Who wants your brains to be all over the place? How disgusting!" Xiao Yi reached out to support him, squinting his eyes at the handsome young man in white thin armor, who was full of heroism in his gentleness: "Want to repay me? Very simple, four words..."

Stretched out a few fingers and shook them, then moved towards his chin and ticked him flirtatiously: "Sister pays the debt."

Xiao Shu:

Almost at the same time, a similar topic was going on in the Xiangfu's study.

"Is this the result you are looking for?" Qin Mei looked at the rare herbs in the brocade box: "Nowadays, Miss Xiao can be said to be able to know the world's affairs, but she just doesn't know it. This medicine is incompatible with the prescription you are used to. ?”

Mo Yanxiao smiled as if he didn't care at all: "Giving a gift is just to show your heart, how can you take care of so much."

"She did this either intentionally or unintentionally." Qin Mei, who was dressed in plain and elegant attire and her crescent eyebrows were lightly swept away, had a more gentle and calm demeanor, but her words at the moment were sharp and unrelenting: "If it is the former, it means that she still treats you With resentment in my heart, I deliberately use this to make you unhappy, but it is too naive. If it is the latter..."

Mo Yanxiao continued calmly: "It means that she has completely let me go."

"If you really let go completely, you should treat everyone equally. With your current status and status, how can the dignified Master Xiao know nothing about your basic necessities?"

"Xiaomei..." Mo Yanxiao pinched his brows tiredly: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Looking at him for a moment, Qin Mei's autumn water eyes showed a hint of sadness: "Brother Mo, what you want is to be a little bit different in her heart?"

Mo Yanxiao put down his hand very slowly, Fang raised his eyes to meet her gaze, his expression was no longer gentle, but determined instead: "What I want is not even this little difference."

Qin Mei was stunned for a long time, and finally, she looked to the right side of the desk.

Seeing where her eyes fell, Mo Yanxiao understood, but he could only pretend not to notice.

There was Ange there, with a thick file recording all of Xiao Yi's past three years.

At first, I felt guilty and owed something, and I was even more worried, fearing that this willful little girl who had not experienced any troubles would suffer hardships if she wandered outside alone.

Later, it was a habit. I was used to receiving a secret report every few days. From the few words above, I outlined a master of the family who gradually grew up, matured, and finally had the ability to protect his family.

I don't know a habit, so I downplay the enthusiasm that was full of enthusiasm for the first time.

A habit of knowing, so the originally not deep feelings are engraved.

Therefore, things in the world are often so ridiculously wrong, but they can only do nothing, all because they are willing to suffer on their own.
