The villain queen's close minister

If it weren't for her voluptuous figure, no one would be able to tell that this was a woman who had given birth to a child.

A palace maid came in.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm painting?" The Queen Mother was obviously displeased.

"Your Highness, Lord Su has arrived."

"Oh, it's An'er." The empress dowager raised her eyebrows slightly, and the displeasure on her face disappeared in an instant. She even stopped painting and threw the ink pen aside.

When the maid brought Su An in, the Queen Mother immediately walked up to him, took his hand with a kind expression and sat him aside. The palace maids tactfully withdrew.

"Su An meets the Queen Mother." Su An said respectfully.

"Child, why are you so polite in front of me?" The Queen Mother said in a reproachful tone, with a hint of doting in her eyes.

"Did you forget what you were supposed to call me?"

Su An's heart also warmed, "Mother."

What most people don’t know is that Su An is also the adopted son of Queen Mother Gong Yueru.

Strictly speaking, Su An can call Su Ruoxi sister.

However, he has nothing to do with the late emperor. When he became Gong Ruyue's adopted son, the late emperor was already dead.

Su Ruoxi is relatively precocious and sensible, so the empress dowager doesn't need to worry about anything for her.

Because Su An was often bullied by Su Ruoxi and cried, she resorted to reporting to her parents and often went to Su Ruoxi's mother Gong Yueru to cry.

Gong Yueru had only one daughter, and her daughter was too sensible, so she never experienced the joy of being a mother.

At that time, Su An's memory had not been awakened, and his parents died early, so he was lacking love.

Plus, Su An was so cute when she was a child, a crying little baby.

After these two visits, Su An filled the void in Gong Yueru's heart. She often summoned Su An into the palace to teach him. It can be said that she was closer to Su An than to Su Ruoxi, and treated Su An completely as her own son.

Su An also regarded Gong Yueru as his support.

Everything after that went smoothly.

Chapter 13 It’s unfair. I’ve devoted my life to the country!

Su An became Gong Yueru's adopted son. With the trust of the empress and the title of marquis, it can be said that his status is first-class in the entire imperial capital.

Almost no one in Da Shang dares to mess with such an identity.

But the original novel requires a sacrifice to trigger the conflict between the protagonist Ye Xuan and Da Shang.

Su An, who has a high status but weak strength, naturally becomes a good choice.

"An'er, I heard that someone attacked you a few days ago. Let me take a good look at you to see if you are injured. Do you need me to assign you a few more guards?"

Gong Yueru stroked Su An's cheek and said with concern.

When she learned the news that Su An had been attacked, she was shocked and angry. If the empress had not sent Tu Shengnan to protect Su An first, she would probably have taken action.

Even the forces under her command have begun investigating Ye Xuan's news.

She hated the person who dared to hurt her adopted son.

"Thank you, mother, but I won't need it for now."

Su An thought about it and refused.

"You kid, you are being polite to your mother again." The Queen Mother patted his hands, "Forget it, although you are a marquis, you don't have anyone around you who can be used. How about this, I will give you the red spider lily."

The Queen Mother handed over a token engraved with strange patterns, and then looked directly at Su An, "You are not allowed to refuse this time."

Higanbana is the top assassin organization in Dashan, integrating assassination, intelligence and even trade. It also secretly controls many forces. No one would have thought that the person behind this organization would be the empress dowager of the current dynasty.

Su An also showed some surprise, "Thank you, mother."

He really needs such an organization. After all, intelligence is also very important when confronting the protagonist.

If he were asked to build an intelligence organization from scratch, I don't know how much time and energy it would take, and the results might not be good.

And now the Queen Mother directly gave him such an organization.

He chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, talked about family matters, and then said goodbye and left.

When we arrived at Taiyuan Palace, the empress had just finished her training.

"Tell me, what are you doing here this time?"

She was still dressed the same as last time, noble yet lazy, her snow-white jade feet lightly resting on the ground, as if stepping into people's hearts, but perhaps it was because Su An's mentality had changed.

Su An was once afraid of being bullied by Su Ruoxi, so he didn't notice Su Ruoxi's beauty. When they met for the first time after awakening his memory, he was worried about Ye Xuan and had no intention of observing her. Now that he has relaxed a little, he looks different.

Her black hair draped behind her, her skin, softer than jade, seemed to be shining brightly, and her eyebrows and eyes, without any makeup, were delicate enough, leaving nothing to be desired.

Her temperament is noble and excellent. She wears only a simple nightgown, but she manages to make it look like an imperial robe.

It was as if all the beauty in the world was concentrated on her alone, otherwise such a person would never have been born.

Perhaps it was because she was wearing casual clothes in the bedroom, the half-exposed spring scenery was enough to make people imagine more beautiful scenery.

There is no beauty that can surpass the beauty of the ages, and the beauty that pleases the eyes is the beauty.

For some reason, Su An thought of this inappropriate poem.

Seeing Su An's almost undisguised gaze, Su Ruoxi sat up slightly and adjusted the hem of her skirt to cover up her seductive spring scenery.

Why is this little Anzi so bold today?

To say that she was shy, she didn't feel too much. She wasn't shy towards Xiao Anzi, but she just felt a little unnatural.

But after becoming the empress, it was the first time that someone dared to look at her like this.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, it's about the Ji family." Su An also reacted and quickly avoided his gaze.

I was careless and played a little too much with Ye Lier these days.

As a result, my brain was almost filled with yellow waste.

As a loyal minister, how could he have the idea of ​​turning the tables and becoming the master?

It shouldn’t be like this. It really shouldn’t be like this.

Alcohol and sex can mislead people!

Starting tomorrow, stop drinking!

"The Ji family." The empress looked at Su An and said, "The matter between the Ji and Shen families has something to do with you."

"Yes."

Su An was not surprised that the empress knew this. He did not avoid Tu Shengnan when he met Ji Shilin in private. Although Tu Shengnan did not know what Su An had done.

But with the empress's intelligence, it was easy for her to guess that Su An was the mastermind behind the incident.

Well, even though she was the one who exposed herself to the empress, Tu Shengnan, who told tales, still needs to be taught a lesson.

Anyway, he is just a fool and easy to fool.

It’s not that I want to hide anything from the empress, but she still needs some private space.

"The Ji family secretly raises demon cultivators, which violates the laws of our Great Shang. They deserve to be punished. The Shen family has formed a clique for personal gain and has been restless recently. They also deserve to be suppressed."

The devil cultivators are demon cultivators who are absolutely prohibited and wanted by the Shang Dynasty. Their skills are vicious and they are extreme and selfish.

The cultivators of the demonic path practice fast, take shortcuts, and have unstable minds, so it may be difficult for them to advance to a higher level. But as long as they have the skills and the courage, it is not a problem for them to become Purple Mansion or Life Pill.

There was even a time when a demon cultivator sacrificed the blood of billions of lives in an entire state, achieving the pinnacle of the spiritual realm in one step, but was eventually wiped out by powerful spiritual masters from other sects.

This incident happened before the establishment of the Shang Dynasty.

From then on, the demon monks were resisted and hunted down by other monks.

It was not until the establishment of the Shang Dynasty that Emperor Taizu of Shang led his troops to wipe out the evil ways in the seventy-two states and joined forces with other sects to defeat the evil ways so badly that they could not raise their heads.

From then on, they have been unable to recover. Although they still make some harmless movements occasionally, there are very few traces of demon monks in the Middle-earth Divine Land. Basically, they are suppressed as soon as they show up.

The Ji family's keeping of demon cultivators was actually the personal doing of the eldest son of the Ji family. It was important information in the original novel that Ye Xuan helped Ji Shilin to overthrow his brother. Now it was used by Su An to attack the entire Ji family. Anyway, the aristocratic families are one, so it doesn't matter if it is directly escalated to the entire clan.

"Oh, so you are still doing this for me?" A strange look flashed in Su Ruoxi's eyes.

The Great Shang Dynasty has always been on high alert against the Demonic Path. The Demonic Path's vision is to overthrow the Great Shang Dynasty and return the Central Plains to its chaotic and fragmented state. They are naturally hostile to the Great Shang Dynasty.

"I will serve Your Majesty loyally and devote my life to the cause until my death." Su An said in a resounding voice, and anyone who saw him would think that he was a loyal minister.

Hongshao curled her lips when she heard this. Why was this little rascal pretending to be so serious today?

And he devoted all his energy to the cause until his death. But these two words are quite good.

"So you're not doing this for Li Zishuang?" The empress raised her eyebrows and gave an ambiguous smile.

"It's unfair!" Su An was shocked and quickly protested his injustice.

"I am devoted to my country, how could I be the kind of person who is obsessed with lust."

Old Su is a man of loyalty and bravery, how could he be tempted by mere beauty? Even if he approached Li Zishuang, it was only for the sake of big business and he was willing to sacrifice his looks.

What a lustful thing.

This is slander, blatant slander!

Chapter 14: I am a loyal minister

"I think you look a lot like him, Xiao Anzi." Hong Shao said softly with a smile, and in an instant she was fixed with Su An's resentful gaze.

Qingling, who was silent aside, nodded secretly in her heart, agreeing with Hongshao's words.

"Then I'll treat you as a loyal minister." The empress did not pester him any further, and instead asked, "Tell me how you plan to deal with the affairs of these two families this time."

"I am a loyal minister." Su An said seriously.

"Alright, alright, stop playing tricks." The empress kicked Su An on the shoulder, bringing up a gust of fragrant wind.

I haven’t bullied Xiao Anzi for a long time. Hiss~ I kind of miss the way he cried, but as an emperor, I must be steady, steady!

The empress reminded herself in her heart.

"Ahem." Su An quickly suppressed his desire to turn over and become the master, and said solemnly: "The Ji family colluded with the demon cultivators, which seriously violated the laws of the Shang Dynasty. I suggest that all those involved be thrown into the Heavenly Prison and sentenced to death. The entire Ji family should be exiled to the Desolate State, and the rest of those who are involved with the Ji family should be demoted."

"As for the Shen family, let the old man Shen Changfeng go home to retire and give him a warning to deter other families."

"Of course, this is just my humble opinion. Everything depends on your majesty's judgment."

"Then do as you wish." As an emperor, even if he doesn't care about things, he still has to suppress those aristocratic families from time to time.

After finalizing some specific matters, Su An left Taiyuan Hall.

It was Qingling who sent him out.

"Next time you kill Ye Xuan, call me and I'll help you."

Qingling suddenly said this.

Su An's mind was working rapidly. Sister Qingling must have been referring to the fact that she was not invited to the last operation of Qiankun Pavilion.

At that time, his main target was not Ye Xuan.

But he still said: "No problem, I will definitely ask Sister Qingling to come next time."

"I also want to ask Sister Qingling to come over to protect me, but unfortunately, I'm afraid His Majesty won't agree."

Su An spread his hands as he spoke.

When Qing Ling heard the word "closely related", she recalled the last time she played the role of Su An's maid, and her pretty face, which usually had no expression, couldn't help but turn red.

"Just send it here. I'm leaving first."

Having said that, she turned around and walked away quickly, giving people the feeling that she was fleeing in a panic.

"Tsk, Sister Qingling is shy again." Su An muttered softly.

Then Qingling's pace became faster, the blush spread to her neck, and she disappeared from sight in a few steps.
