Su Miao immediately covered the little emperor's mouth, his beautiful eyebrows furrowed. He coughed lightly a few times, and his words were intermittent:

"Your Majesty...be careful with your words."

A look of heartache immediately appeared on Wanqi Ke's childish face. He hugged Su Miao's slender waist, which could be held in one hand, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Miao Miao has lost weight. I will kill this dog slave who doesn't serve me attentively!"

The emperor's voice did not soften at all. Xiao Duzi, who served the nine thousand year old man personally, stood outside the door and trembled slightly.

Standing with him was the nine thousand year old personal maid Fuling. Fuling glared at him fiercely, and Xiao Duzi quickly calmed himself down.

Sure enough, the gentle voice of their Nine Thousand Years Old in the house was like the dodder flowers entwined around a big tree, harmless but successful in dissuading His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, you are the Lord of all peoples. Everyone is your subject. How can you call for war and killing at will?"

Wanqi Ke didn't understand all this, he only knew that his Miaomiao had become thinner.

He pouted and turned his head away, looking as if he didn't want to pay any attention to Su Miao.

If he hadn't secretly glanced at Su Miao several times, he would have looked really angry.

Su Miao covered his lips and chuckled. He could naturally see that His Majesty wanted him to coax him.

As he said, the whole world belongs to Your Majesty, let alone him.

Wanqi Ke gently tugged at the corner of his clothes. Wanqi Ke, who was not angry at all with Su Miao, immediately hugged Su Miao tightly again.

Jiu Qiansui's soft, boneless hands gently rubbed Wanqi Ke's temple.

Wanqi Ke squinted his eyes comfortably and hummed like a big dog.

Su Miao secretly laughed at himself for comparing the emperor to a dog.

Such a rebellious thing.

Wanqi Ke said in a rough voice:

"It was still better before. Miaomiao could always be with me."

Su Miao listened to his childish and innocent words and sighed inwardly.

What's good about being in the cold palace? There's not enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, and both of them are as thin as little chicks.

But in Wanqi Ke's heart, being with his Miaomiao is the best, even better than being an emperor.

Wanqi Ke glanced at Su Miao secretly. He couldn't say this to anyone, as Miao Miao would get angry.

Su Miao stroked the emperor's thick sword-like eyebrows, and her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed on her pale face, which was as pale as Xi Shi's heart.

"Ke'er, you are already the emperor."

"The Queen Mother intends to select a concubine for you. The previous dynasty has also repeatedly suggested that a noble lady with both virtue and talent should be admitted to the palace. Your Majesty will have more people around you to serve you in the future. How can you stay with me forever?"

His voice was really gentle, but the last sentence was like a knife piercing Wanqi Ke's heart.

Wanqi Ke's phoenix eyes widened, and a layer of red haze instantly covered his eyes.

His eyes were red and he was breathing heavily, smashing the furnishings in Su Miao's room like crazy.

"Don't want me! Don't want any noble lady, don't want anyone else! Just Miaomiao, just Miaomiao..."

Su Miao was of course happy to see Wanqi Ke's performance, but there was a hint of sadness on his pale face.

"Ke'er!"

With just this sentence, Wanqi Ke stopped, bit his lip, and stared at Su Miao blankly.

"Miao Miao...Did they force you to do this? I will definitely kill them!"

Su Miao: Wow! What a tyrant!

System: …Ahhhhhhh

Su Miao's body was thin, like a rootless duckweed. The wind brought by Wanqi Ke's madness drove away the heat around his body, making him feel cold.

He sighed softly, and his beautiful face turned even paler.

Wanqi Ke touched Su Miao's cold face with heartache, and quickly held his hands against his chest to warm them.

Su Miao changed the subject and said, "The Regent will be returning from his inspection tour of Mobei soon."

The Regent is the only king of Dazhao with a different surname.

Before his death, the old emperor summoned the Left Prime Minister Xiao Yaoguang, the Right Prime Minister Pei Changjun, the General Lu Jiuzhou, and Helian Chuan, who was a prince of a different surname at the time, to the dragon bed one after another.

At that time, Wanqi Ke had already been appointed as the crown prince, but as his personal eunuch, Su Miao could not find out anything.

He only knew that except for Pei Changjun, the slippery old fox, the others were his political enemies.

Although he was powerful, he was able to use a temporary strategy to transfer the regent, who was a scourge, away from the capital, and he was also able to seize some of his power after he left, making his orders second to none in the world.

But after all, his reputation in the court and among the people is not good. If one day these people join forces in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials, then he, the Ninth Thousand Year Old Man, will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

But what if the emperor can never leave him?

And he also pulled other people into the account one by one...

Sure enough, Wanqi Ke frowned in disgust.

This regent likes to target Miaomiao the most. I hate him!

He said gloomily:

"Can't he just not come back?"

It would be best if he never returned to the capital, because he was always scolded.

Su Miao's voice was light, but if you listened carefully you could discern a hint of fear in it.

"The Zuo Pushe has been training in Lingnan for two years and is about to return to Beijing to report on his work."

Xiao Yaoguang, the Minister of the Left, was born into the Huainan Xiao family, a family of scholars with a hundred years of heritage. Since the founding of the Da Zhao Dynasty, the Xiao family has produced ten prime ministers, four empresses, and more than one hundred scholars.

Xiao Yaoguang is the legitimate son of Minister Xiao, and also the most famous among the three generations of the Xiao family.

He won the palace examination and was chosen as the top scholar by Emperor Wende.

The policy proposals he made won the late emperor's endless praise, and he was included in the prince's political team at an early stage. No matter who became the prince, Xiao Yaoguang would definitely be the left prime minister.

Just because he was too young, the late emperor was afraid of forcing his growth, so he sent him out for training for a few years. At the age of seventeen, he was promoted to the third rank official. He was truly a young man who became famous and a genius.

That year was also the year when the previous emperor passed away. All the ministers were in a state of panic because the previous emperor had slaughtered all the previous princes in their fight for the throne.

The one who finally ascended the throne was the unknown ninth prince Wanqi Ke.

The new emperor was dressed in black court robes and looked very handsome, resembling the previous emperor's youth. He spoke word by word with great emphasis:

"Zuo Pushe comes from a prominent family, and the late emperor has given me the order, so I will naturally obey. However... you are still young, so there is no rush to take up the position of Zuo Xiang."

The emperor said so, and his true nature had not yet been revealed. All the civil and military officials in the court felt that what the emperor said made sense. A seventeen-year-old left prime minister was unprecedented in Dazhao.

Naturally, Xiao Yaoguang could only kneel down to express his gratitude, but he knew that he had offended the emperor's personal eunuch, and this was probably his revenge.

Sure enough, the emperor's next words shocked both civil officials and military generals.

"Lingnan is Dazhao's biggest concern. Zuo Pushe's ancestors made contributions to educating the northern barbarians. Why doesn't Zuo Pushe follow their example? He will surely not fall into their footsteps."

Lingnan is such a dangerous place, surrounded by miasma and numerous snakes and insects. How could Your Majesty send a son of aristocratic family to a place where criminals are exiled?

For a moment, the court and the public were shocked, and they all urged His Majesty to revoke his order.

Only Xiao Yaoguang looked deeply in the direction behind the dragon throne, his elegant and noble face showing no dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, take the order."

Su Miao smiled with satisfaction behind the dragon throne.

Dodder flower...

Everyone thinks it is weak and can be bullied, but it can parasitize on plants to absorb their vitality until the plants wither and are ruthlessly strangled by it.

What's wrong with that?
