Su Miao didn't expect that the problem lies with Wanqi Ke.

He tried to speak softly, "Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned you."

"As long as you follow my instructions, I will obey you in everything."

Su Miao was extremely anxious. Although Emperor Wende had only this son, if he knew that Wanqi Ke was a fool, he would never pass the throne to Wanqi Ke no matter what.

If Wanqi Ke could not become emperor, he would be dragged down by the emperor to be buried alive with him.

How could the emperor keep a trusted eunuch to cause trouble for the new emperor? The best way was to let Su Miao be buried with him.

As his own life was at stake, Su Miao was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head, yet he still had to coax this angry little bastard.

Wanqi Ke was still angry that Su Miao had ignored him for some time, so he pretended not to know him. No matter how he cried, Su Miao ignored him.

He blamed everything on the emperor, saying it was all his fault and that was why Su Miao ignored him.

Now Su Miao asked him to go before the emperor, how could he be willing?

Wanqi Ke's eyes rolled around, he tilted his head, his dark eyes filled with purity.

"Miao Miao asked me to drink Nana, so I went to say it, okay?"

Su Miao cursed a thousand times in his heart, but he could only unbutton his clothes obediently...

He stood outside the hall, and the silence inside made him sweat all over.

After a while, Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the emperor's laughter, and a hidden smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was because he taught Wanqi Ke, "No matter what your majesty says, you should 'your son will listen to your father.'"

Emperor Wende was an emperor who cared so much about power that he still wanted to be the emperor emeritus even when he was terminally ill.

He looked at his son with his old but sharp eyes. He was tall and strong with bright eyes. He looked a bit like him when he was young.

Emperor Wende asked: "If you ascend the throne, what will happen to the sons of your brothers?"

Wanqi Ke remembered what Su Miao said and said loudly: "I will listen to you, father."

"You are neither the eldest nor the heir, how can you control the royal family?"

"The queen is not your biological mother. Your biological mother was sent to the cold palace because she offended the queen. What will happen after you ascend the throne?"

...

No matter what Emperor Wende asked, Wanqi Ke always had the same answer.

"I will obey my father."

The emperor laughed a few times, and finally said sternly: "If I want to be the emperor, what will you do?"

Wanqi Ke thought about it,

Hmm, I don’t understand.

"I will obey my father."

Emperor Wende was delighted and immediately asked Su Miao to draft an edict, but he did not sign it yet.

Su Miao tried hard to stop his hands from shaking, and heard Emperor Wende say quietly above his head: "Call Helian Chuan, Xiao Yaoguang, Pei Changjun, and Lu Jiuzhou individually."

These people are all the pillars of the court in the future. Su Miao heard that the emperor wanted to entrust his son to someone else, so he agreed and started thinking about what to do next.

As long as he forms an alliance with them, power will surely fall into his hands.

Besides, Xiao Yaoguang will definitely help him.

Su Miao pulled himself out of his memories, feeling a little disgusted when he thought about how much he once trusted Xiao Yaoguang.

With maliciousness and resentment, he assigned the task of dealing with refugees in the suburbs to Pei Changjun. He wrote an imperial edict himself, pressed Wanqi Ke's hand to stamp it, and sent it to Pei Changjun overnight.

During this period of time, he always gave difficult tasks to the Left Prime Minister. Everyone in the court and the country knew that Jiu Qiansui regarded the Left Prime Minister as a thorn in his side.

Pei Changjun smiled slightly after receiving the order, thinking that Miaomiao must want to help him achieve political achievements, so she asked him to do this. He must do it well to live up to Miaomiao's kindness.

.

It was raining outside. Su Miao was already irritable because of the slight pain coming from the joints between his bones, which made him bad-tempered whenever it rained.

Lu Jiuzhou had not had to come to the palace to recuperate recently. Apart from dealing with the regent who appeared from time to time and sent some strange skulls to him, Su Miao was inexplicably free.

The deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard appeared quietly in the hall, handed Su Miao a piece of paper, and left without a sound.

Su Miao never avoided Wanqi Ke when it came to news from the Eastern Depot, so when Su Miao was obviously unhappy, Wanqi Ke came up to him and read it again word by word.

"Beijing suburbs... the levee collapsed, refugees rioted..."

"Xiao... How do you pronounce the word Miaomiao?"

Wanqi Ke's innocent voice sounded, but Su Miao, whose heart was in a mess, did not tell him immediately.

He looked out the window. The rain was now getting heavier. The refugees were trying to force their way into the capital and had a conflict with the guards who were going to distribute porridge and disaster relief. Pei Changjun had already led his troops to deal with it, so there should be no problem.

But the news from the Imperial Guards said that Xiao Yaoguang also went to the outskirts of Beijing...

The refugee was holding a sharp knife, and who knew what would happen in the heavy rain, and his leg injury had not healed yet.

He pursed his lips and thought, Xiao Yaoguang wanted to be a true gentleman, even if it meant losing his life he would regard it as a necessary step to prove his truth.

But even so, Su Miao still couldn't help but be dazed.

Wanqi Ke called him many times before Su Miao reacted and looked at the emperor in a daze.

Wanqi Ke leaned on Su Miao's shoulder and acted coquettishly in dissatisfaction, but Su Miao stood up and pulled his arms away.

He straightened up and watched Su Miao leave in a hurry after saying a few words.

"I'm going to the outskirts of Beijing."

Xiao Duzi looked at the emperor's expression and felt inexplicably frightened.

Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment, and the emperor lay on the ground and begged Su Miao to come back.

The palace servants were helpless and could only make themselves look ugly to please the emperor.

Hundreds of galloping horses marched in the rain in the capital city, making a huge noise on the deserted streets, attracting the attention of the people. The officials looked outside and saw that they were wearing Feiyu clothing. They quickly closed the doors and watched through the cracks in the doors as several teams of Jinyiwei set out.

I was wondering if there was going to be another big case. Even when the royal family was plotting treason, so many Jinyiwei were not dispatched.

The Jingzhao prefect's face was wet with rain. He pushed away the umbrella held by the county magistrate and looked at the water of flying fish costumes with fear.

They surrounded a carriage in the middle in a protective manner. The carriage was magnificent, pulled by two tall and fine horses that were tributed from the Western Regions. The exterior of the carriage was decorated with gold, and the windows made of silk were opened a crack, and the air was filled with fragrance.

It is a far cry from the muddy suburbs of Beijing.

The prefect of Jingzhao really had no idea which noble person would come to the suburbs of the capital at such a dangerous time.

"Squeak."

The prefect of Jingzhao and the commander of the city gates looked at each other, their hearts in their throats, fearing that someone would come out and question them.

The luxurious curtain was pulled aside by a white hand, and at a glance, the soul of the city gate leader flew to the sky.

The beauty in the car had a cold and stunning face, and her eyes, as lively as a cat, fell on him emotionlessly.

The city gate leader walked forward in a daze, but was stopped by the tall Jinyiwei.

A soft voice came from the carriage: "Let him come over."

The city gate leader walked to the tall carriage and heard the beautiful woman who looked like a fairy say coldly:

"Where is Xiao Yaoguang?"
