When Emperor Xiao Ping was alone with Su Wanti, he often made some unreasonable requests. Su Wanti had no choice but to sit beside him and feed him spoonful by spoonful.

After he finished eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and Emperor Xiao Ping's mood improved.

"Your Majesty, have you encountered any troubles?"

Su Wanti handed the jade lotus leaf bowl to Eunuch De and turned to ask Emperor Xiao Ping.

Emperor Xiao Ping's expression eased a little, and he took out a letter and put it in her hand, "Take a look at this?"

Su Wanti hurriedly threw the memorial down, patted her chest and said, "Your Majesty, please don't harm me. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

"This matter involves the future and destiny of you and the princess. I think you should know about it." Emperor Xiao Ping said firmly.

Su Wanti's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were full of confusion. After hearing what Emperor Xiao Ping said, she opened the memorial and began to read it.

This memorial was submitted by Xiao Huaihe, in which he requested to be transferred to serve as an official in another place.

"Young Marquis Xiao is going to serve as an official in another place?" she muttered softly.

Emperor Xiao Ping heard this, snorted coldly, and said, "Look where he is going to be an official?"

Su Wanti looked at the location written on the memorial and read out, "Jing County."

She narrowed her eyes and thought: "Jing County is a transportation fortress in the south. Why would he, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, go to Jing County?"

Emperor Xiao Ping sneered, picked out three more memorials from a pile, and handed them to Su Wanti, "Take a look at these again."

Su Wanti read them one by one, and found that they were all petitions requesting to be transferred to other places.

Wencheng, Jigang, and Shanping counties.

These places are the transportation fortresses in the west, east and north respectively...

Su Wanti felt something was wrong and looked at the names on the three memorials. They were Prince Qi, Prince Jing and Young Marquis Yan.

"Your Majesty, these people are all candidates for succession to the throne."

Seeing that Emperor Xiao Ping's face had turned gloomy again, she asked tentatively:

"Perhaps because the adoption has been suspended, they feel awkward staying in the capital, so they want to go to other places?"

Although she tried to find reasonable explanations for the other party, she was sneering in her heart. These people were so stupid. Even she could see that there was something fishy, ​​so how could Emperor Xiao Ping not see it?

Do they really think that Emperor Xiao Ping, who appears to be kind, is an easy person to deceive?

At this moment, Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes were deep and his face was as dark as water.

"They are originally royal relatives, so inheriting the title and becoming the royal heir is a pleasant surprise for them. Unfortunately, they have become greedy because of it."

Emperor Xiao Ping spread out the four memorials one by one, placed them in front of him, and continued:

"They are in the court, serving as subjects, but they do not understand that what I give them is what they deserve, and what I do not give them is not what they deserve. Now, they have developed a rebellious heart and covet my things. I should let them know who owns this world and who holds the imperial power."

"What is your majesty going to do?" Su Wanti was curious. To be honest, she wanted to see what Emperor Xiao Ping's skills were.

Emperor Xiao Ping chuckled, took the red pen and wrote on the four memorials, and said in a deep voice: "If they want to go abroad, then go. If they don't go, don't even think about coming back."

After he finished reviewing the memorials, he threw the four memorials aside and looked at Su Wanti who was sitting quietly beside him, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

"Wan'er" he said softly, as if he was afraid of scaring her.

Su Wanti raised her eyes and asked tenderly, "Your Majesty, have you finished your work?"

Emperor Xiao Ping pulled her over, hugged her soft body, and said, "Wan'er, Xiao Huaihe was once your husband. I might take action against him later. Will Wan'er resent me?"

Hearing this, Su Wanti almost laughed out loud. She was just waiting for Emperor Xiao Ping to deal with Xiao Huaihe. The more cruel the means, the better. She would only feel happy. How could she feel resentment?

She would thank him greatly!

However, in order to make Xiao Huaihe die more miserably, she decided to act it out.

In just a moment, Su Wanti's almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful. She raised her head slightly, looked at Xiao Huaihe, her voice choked with sobs.

"Your Majesty, you only know that Xiao Huaihe was my husband, but you don't know how he treated me."

She pressed her handkerchief to the corners of her eyes, wiped away her tears, and said in a sad voice,

"My parents saw that Xiao Huaihe was a rare talent and heard that he had good character, so they betrothed me to him. After I entered the Marquis' Mansion, I always wanted to be a good wife and mother."

"But Xiao Huaihe actually brought my concubine's sister back to the Marquis' Mansion and married her. He also hated me. On the wedding night, he scolded me and left. He ignored me afterwards. I always thought that there was something wrong with me and I couldn't win the favor of the Lord. That's why I thought of asking Master Xuankong for marriage—"

At this moment, she felt extremely aggrieved and cried so hard that Emperor Xiao Ping's heart was broken.

Su Wanti raised her misty eyes, full of affection, "It was not until I met Your Majesty that I knew what a real man was and what it meant to be moved by love—"

She slightly raised her pink and white face, her eyes as warm as water, looking at him with love and admiration, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

Emperor Xiao Ping stroked the smooth shoulders of the lovely woman in his arms, and felt heartbroken when he thought of her experience in the Marquis' Mansion.

His disgust towards Xiao Huaihe deepened.

He could let those three people die happily, but Xiao Huaihe must die miserably.

----

The next day, Xiao Huaihe and others obtained the emperor's approval and transfer order and prepared to go to other places to take up their posts.

Before setting off, they met secretly again, both of them were full of pride and ambition.

At that time, they could never have imagined that within less than half a year, they would all die.

When the prince of Qi was hunting, his horse went mad and he was trampled to death by the horse.

No one knew what Prince Jing ate, but he became crazy for a few days and died suddenly.

When Young Marquis Yan was fast asleep, the incense burner in the inner room lit up, and he fell into a coma and never woke up again.

Xiao Huaihe was the worst off. He went hunting and was kicked by a horse. Then he fell into a bear trap and was pierced by the sharp bamboo poles in the trap.

After being rescued, he was carried down the mountain, but died of excessive bleeding before reaching the bottom of the mountain.

The families of these four people are still in Beijing. After hearing the news, they were very sad and terrified at the same time, because they knew that the deaths of these four people were probably not accidents.

I'm afraid these four people were not tolerated by the emperor, so they died in a foreign land.

However, they did not dare to resent the emperor, because although the four men had not told their families about their plan, their families were all marquises and princes, and they were very smart and had already found out something from the words and whereabouts of the four men.

Now they just pray that the emperor will not vent his anger on their family.

Emperor Xiao Ping did not vent his anger on the four families. Instead, he allocated silver to the four families as a pension from the court and allowed them to hold a grand funeral.

However, a few years later, he still found faults in these four families and stripped them of their titles.

Upon hearing the news of Xiao Huaihe's death, Su Wanti breathed a sigh of relief. She had completed another mission.

Next is Su Ruohua. According to the system's detection, Su Ruohua has been active in Qingxin Temple for the past six months.

Although Su Wanti didn't know what she was going to do, she had a feeling in her heart that Su Ruohua would not give up the idea of ​​becoming the queen, and there would be action later.

She waited patiently.

Her feeling turned out to be correct. A month later, Su Ruhua entered the palace.
