Chapter 1154: Chapter 1150: Find Someone to Take the Fall for You
She trampled about in the medicine fields, hopping around and sticking her tongue out at Su Yingxue, “Nyah nyah nyah, just a little maid with no status at all!”
“Nonsense! I am the empress! He is busy with important matters right now!” Su Yingxue scooped her up and pinched her chubby cheeks.
Really though, turning into a little Ginseng child, the tactile experience of pinching her is just marvelous, squeezing and flattening without fear of causing any harm.
“You big bully, all you do is pick on children!”
“Right, especially those thousands of years old. Bullying them feels so good, and it’s delightfully satisfying!”
Su Yingxue delighted in playing with her, while Little Ginseng bit her, feeling aggrieved.
“Stop daydreaming.”
It was only when Chu Yihan held her hand that she snapped back to reality.
In her mind, the resentful voice of Little Ginseng persisted, “Hmph! You cruel and ruthless empress, I hope you fall out of favor soon!”
“Pfft, that’s impossible.” Su Yingxue retorted, then reached out to touch Chu Yihan’s face, “Why won’t you acknowledge my identity? And why must I wear a veil? I am rather upset, explain yourself, Emperor!”
As she spoke, she settled into Chu Yihan’s embrace, exhibiting the pretentious airs of Her Majesty.
Chu Yihan had people guarding the door before he removed her veil and leaned down to nibble on her, “The Wang Weiran case is complex and involves the Xiao family. I am on guard against the Xiao family, so I found someone to replace the empress. And now, you are here by my side, a medical woman personally trained by the empress.”
“You found someone to replace me?” Su Yingxue immediately sat up from his embrace, “The waters of the Xiao family run that deep?”
Chu Yihan nodded, “This excursion was to bring Heng’er out to see the world, to let you relax. But more importantly, it’s to punish the Xiao family.”
As he spoke, his hand came down heavily on the case file.
Su Yingxue took the case file to examine, it clearly recorded the Wang Weiran case. The one who filed the complaint was his youngest daughter, Wang Yun, suspecting that her father had been murdered. Therefore, she accused Xiao Hui, the fourth son of the Xiao family. The case was still under investigation, but witnesses and evidence had been provided, and they were well-organized by Wang Jingzhi.
However, Su Yingxue could tell that Wang Yun was likely to lose the case. The witnesses, evidence, and the results of the Wuzuo’s examination all indicated that Xiao Hui was not the murderer.
“The Xiao family has issues, and Xiao Hui is certainly not clean, so the Emperor wants to reinvestigate the case?” Su Yingxue quickly grasped Chu Yihan’s intentions.
Chu Yihan held her waist tightly and pressed his forehead against hers, speaking softly, “The Emperor needs a medical woman, and the empress must stay by the Crown Prince’s side to take care of him and cannot casually join the Emperor in investigating cases.”
Su Yingxue’s lips curled into a slight smile, revealing a hint of amusement, “So, I am now merely a maid, and the Emperor takes this maid everywhere! It has been quite a while since I investigated a case!”
Her mind was almost rusting from staying in the palace for so long. The opportunity to venture out and help Chu Yihan with his affairs was naturally utterly thrilling!
But Su Yingxue swiftly thought of a problem, “Who did you find to pretend to be the empress?”
“Leng Shuqing,” Chu Yihan answered casually.
“The Imperial Consort? She was fine staying in the palace, and you brought her out. What if she gets assassinated?” Su Yingxue sincerely considered the risks associated with being the empress. Her own martial arts were not weak, and she had no problem protecting herself.
Around the little monster, Mo Qi and Shan Bao, one formidable and the other ferocious, were also without any issues.
But Leng Shuqing likely wasn’t as lucky, was she?
She came from the refined and gentle background of the Eldest Young Miss, and in danger, she’d likely yell for help while still minding her manners.
