The group's favorite little Fubao has become the most arrogant kid in the whole imperial city

Chapter 110 Without even taking a breath
Su Zhongqian was serious and spoke in a serious tone, "The princess deserves it. This time, the princess rescued A Yuan and exposed the conspiracy of Jiang Zhongguo, which is a great achievement."

Xihe laughed dryly twice, "Actually it's not as serious as you say. I was just a bystander, it just happened... just a coincidence."

Su Zhongqian wanted to say a few more words but was interrupted by Liu Yuan.

"That's enough, uncle. The kid is shy, don't scare him."

"Uncle?" Xihe blinked, looked at this one and then that, at a loss.

Wait, it seems like she is calling someone of a lower generation.

Zhao Chengning couldn't help but poke his sister's little face and explained: "Liu Yuan's mother is Su Shangshu's sister."

Everyone knows that the Liu family and the Su family are enemies, but few people know why.

Zhao Chengning also heard what Emperor Jingyuan said by chance.

Many years ago, Su Zhongqian's sister disappeared, and then she lost her memory for unknown reasons. Miss Su was taken home by Liu Ming to be his principal wife, and soon after, Liu Yuan was born. Later, Liu Ming favored his concubine over his wife, and Mrs. Liu died of depression.

In a fit of anger, Liu Yuan went to the battlefield, but was discovered by Su Zhongqian who was transporting food and grass that year. What a coincidence, Liu Yuan looked very similar to his mother. Su Zhongqian identified the other person almost at a glance, and then learned the cause of Mrs. Liu's death.

At that time, Su Zhongqian was not yet the head of the Su family. After reporting the matter to old man Su, the old man was furious and took his daughter's tablet and coffin back overnight. He even confronted Liu Ming in court the next morning. Without explaining the reason, he scolded the other party. From then on, the Su family and the Liu family became complete enemies.

Liu Ming was embarrassed and never dared to speak up, so few people knew about the relationship between Liu Yuan and Su Zhongqian.

"So that's how it is." Xihe smiled and winked at Liu Yuan, "That's great, I have an uncle, and you have an uncle too. We both have relatives~"

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Su Zhongqian's cold face softened a little, and he responded surprisingly, "Princess, you are right. They are relatives."

It is also each other's sustenance.

Sanping watched with a smile on his face, but did not interrupt. He picked up a cup of tea and hid the smile on his lips.

The little princess was truly blessed. With just a few words she was able to defeat the Minister of War, who was as hard to talk to as a rock.

I remember that in order to regain this position, Your Majesty had to go to great lengths to get this person to serve as an official in the court.

Furthermore, His Majesty has already chosen the eldest prince to be the crown prince, and will issue the imperial decree as soon as he is crowned.

This time, the person behind the scenes used Jiang Zhongguo to drag the Xu family into the water, and the little princess turned around and pulled the Su family into the eldest prince's camp.

Although he didn't express it openly, seeing that General Liu and the little princess have such a good relationship, are you still afraid that the Su family will not help in the long run?
Su Zhongqian holds the Ministry of War. Although Old Master Su has retired, his reputation in the army is comparable to that of the Duke of Zhenguo, which is a great help. When necessary, a word from the old master is more effective than the imperial edict of Emperor Jingyuan. After all, it is easy to force, but it is difficult to convince.

Sanping saw the eldest prince holding Xihe, and the more he looked, the more it looked like he was holding a lucky doll.

It is really a blessing for me, Tianshuo.

"Big brother asked me to come here. Did you find out anything from the interrogation?"

Zhao Chengning nodded and raised his hand to signal. Not long after, Zhao Jinyuan came in carrying a... no, a mass of unknown object.

Xihe stared blankly at the unknown person below, and tugged at Zhao Chengning's sleeve, "Big brother, this is... that captain." Zhao Chengning realized it later and quickly covered his sister's eyes. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. How could he let his sister bleed? "Are you scared? Brother will take you back first."

Zhao Jinyuan also reacted and pulled a curtain beside him to cover the bloody and unknown object.

"Wait!" Xihe quickly grabbed Zhao Chengning who wanted to get up, "Big brother, I'm not afraid. I dare to go to Dafeng Village and climb into the secret room. Xihe is not afraid! Believe me! I am the bravest princess in Tianshuo!"

The little girl clenched her fists, looking very confident.

Zhao Chengning hesitated for a moment and then rejected it, "No! What if you have a nightmare? You don't sleep well to begin with. If you hurt yourself over something like this, my mother will skin me alive."

Xihe: "..."

The last sentence is the key point.

Xu Qingcheng had remained silent the whole time, but his expression changed slightly when he heard this, as if he recalled some bad memories.

It seems that my little sister is indeed... quite fierce.

"No~" Xihe used her coquettish method, grabbing Zhao Chengning's arm and shaking it, "Xihe is very brave now, she can go to heaven and earth, and she is not afraid of anything."

"You feel good, you almost scared me to death." The older Xihe got, the more Zhao Chengning's head hurt. The moment his sister fell, he even thought about his own funeral.

Not to mention Emperor Jingyuan, Concubine Chen would be the first one to skin him and throw him into the imperial kitchen to make soup.

"Brother~"

Xihe opened her big, silly eyes and made Zhao Chengning lose his temper. He surrendered repeatedly, "Okay, but if you feel uncomfortable at all, you must tell me and I will take you back immediately. Got it?"

Zhao Chengning also had his own plans. After all, his sister was a child of the royal family and could not be too naive and ignorant. It would be good for her to see the dangers of the world so as to avoid being deceived.

"Brother is the best~" The little girl was so excited that she gave Zhao Chengning a kiss on the face, which made him very happy and made the people around her jealous.

"Tell me, who arranged for you to kill Jiang Zhongguo?"

Although Xihe was left behind, Zhao Chengning still did not let anyone lift the curtain and continued to question him through the curtain.

"It was the general, it was... General Xu, he asked me to kill Jiang Zhongguo." Perhaps because he was tortured, the captain spoke very slowly, "The general said that once the treasure was discovered, it would implicate the Xu family, so he asked me to kill Jiang Zhongguo to silence him."

"General Xu?" Sanping got Zhao Chengning's permission and began to ask, "I wonder if General Xu can give you a token of love?"

The captain was silent for a long time before he said with difficulty: "No...token."

"There is no token." Sanping smiled faintly. "It's hard to say. Without a token, who can believe you? Who knows if you are a spy planted by others next to General Xu?"

The captain's body was shaking violently, and he kept shouting, "It was General Xu who really told me to do this! I remember every word and every process."

"Oh? Really? Then why don't you tell me, what did General Xu instruct you to do?" Sanping was still calm and not in a hurry at all. Instead, he looked relaxed, as if he was strolling in the garden.

The captain spoke the so-called orders word by word. If someone carefully considered it, they would find that it was extremely meticulous and accurate, as if... he had recited the prepared words countless times without even taking a breath.
