Mandate

“This woman has a strange face.”
The Taoist priest muttered to himself. He did not reveal Su Qing’s true identity. Instead, he looked at her carefully as if he could not see her clearly through a layer of fog.
“What kind of technique?”
Xiao Zeyu glanced at Su Qing, who was in disguise. Qing’er wanted to test the Taoist priest’s abilities, so she had to cooperate.
“This woman has killed too many people. She has been killing people in her previous life and this life, but she has saved many people. She has also done many things to accumulate blessings and virtues. She has the fate of the Emperor. The purple light on her head is dazzling. It can be said that as long as she wants it, the Emperor’s throne is hers.”
If the narrow-minded Emperor heard the Daoist priest’s words, he would feel ill at ease. To protect the throne, he might even kill Su Qing. His words could be equivalent to digging a massive pit for Su Qing that would never recover.
Xiao Zeyu glanced at Su Qing. Su Qing’s expression was calm as she looked back at him. She didn’t panic because of the Daoist priest’s words and didn’t rush to defend herself.
“He’s quite accurate.”
Xiao Zeyu smiled at Su Qing and teased him. Su Qing nodded,
“It is indeed very accurate.”
No one could sit on this throne if he wanted to, but she didn’t care. She worked hard every day. How could it be as comfortable as farming and doing business? Growing vegetables and flowers in her shed was relaxed and comfortable.
Li Fuhai was so scared that he kept wiping his sweat with his sleeve. The Empress was like a raging fire. He was terrified that she would think that he had found a Taoist priest to frame her. If that happened, he would not be able to keep his head.
However, the more afraid he was, the more attention he attracted. Su Qing glanced at him indifferently, scaring Li Fuhai so much that he knelt on the ground.
“Empress, please forgive me. I didn’t know that this Taoist priest would spout nonsense. I’ll take him away now.”
“What for? He’s a capable person. Stay!”
Su Qing glanced at him indifferently. From the way he was trembling in fear, she knew that he did not expect the Taoist priest to say such a thing.
Xiao Zeyu’s expression was dignified as he ordered the Daoist priest,
“Go find a good place with good feng shui and choose an auspicious day to oversee the grave.”
The Daoist priest bowed to Xiao Zeyu and reported,
“This poor priest has already chosen a good place with good Feng Shui. Your descendants will be able to become marquises and generals.”
“I just asked you to choose a good place with good feng shui, and you’ve already chosen it?”
Xiao Zeyu looked coldly at the Taoist priest. Why did this person look more and more like a swindler?
“It’s just a coincidence. I’ve been traveling worldwide and must go to a spiritual mountain. On my way here, I saw an excellent place with good feng shui.”
The Daoist priest wasn’t afraid of Xiao Zeyu as he smiled.
“Alright, then go and do it!”
Xiao Zeyu saw nothing wrong with what he said, so he nodded and let Zhong Yong lead the Taoist priest to handle the matter of godmother and godfather’s patellar bones.
“I have calculated that those who are going to move the graves this time are all people who died a violent death. The resentment is too strong, and I’m afraid they won’t be willing to follow me. If there is an emperor present, we will be able to move the graves smoothly.”
The Daoist priest didn’t leave. Instead, he requested Xiao Zeyu, wanting him to move Zhong Yong’s parents’ graves with him.
“Alright, when you need me, I can come.”
Xiao Zeyu nodded his head in agreement. He and Qing’er had come back this time to help their godfather and godmother, so they decided to go along. He knew a little about Feng Shui, so he could tell if it was a good place.
“Heavenly Venerate Immeasurable, I’ll go prepare first.”
The Taoist priest was pleased to receive an accurate answer from Xiao Zeyu. He bowed and left. Before he left, he looked at Su Qing and said,
“Your Majesty, listen to my advice. You must stop killing within ten days.”
Su Qing glanced at him indifferently and did not comment.
She wasn’t a murderous maniac who killed for pleasure. She only killed when she had no choice.
She hadn’t killed anyone in the past year? However, if there were danger, she would not be killed.
The Taoist priest left without receiving Su Qing’s response.
“Don’t you have any thoughts about what he said just now?”
Su Qing looked at Xiao Zeyu. As the Emperor, he was most afraid of his throne being snatched away by someone else. He would still bear a grudge even if this person were his closest relative.
“What do I think? You don’t want to be the Emperor in the first place. If you want to be the Emperor, what must I do with it?”
Xiao Zeyu smiled. He understood Qing’er too well. She only wanted to farm and had no interest in the government. He wouldn’t believe anyone who said that Su Qing wanted to be the Emperor.
The temptation of the dragon throne was not as attractive to Su Qing as making money, and it was even less attractive to her than farming.
“Yes, it’s a good thing you’re not a bad ruler.”
Su Qing smiled as well. Her cold eyes sparkled with a hint of charm. Xiao Zeyu felt his heart gently scratched by a pair of small hands. He wanted to go to Qing’er again, who had been so passionate the previous night. His body tensed up, and his blood rushed to the same spot.
The couple had just finished their breakfast when a guard came to report,
“Your Majesty, Li Daniu requests an audience.”
“Let him in.”
Xiao Zeyu asked the guards to bring Li Daniu in. He turned around and smiled at Su Qing,
“Qing’er, I didn’t have the chance to ask Daniu yesterday. Who is the bride?”
“Yeah,”
Su Qing smiled. She wasn’t too concerned about this. She didn’t like to gossip, but Xiao Zeyu seemed very curious and concerned about his good brother.
Very soon, the guards brought Li Daniu over. His new bride also walked in with him.
“Shuisheng.”
Li Daniu still addressed Xiao Zeyu as he did in the Peach Blossom Cove. A happy smile hung on his face as he looked at his wife with sparkling eyes. He introduced her to Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing,
“This is my wife, Wen Xiu. She didn’t see you yesterday, so she came to pay her respects.”
“I pay my respects to the emperor, Niang Niang.”
Just as Li Daniu finished his introduction, he saw Wen Xiu kneeling to greet Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing. She knew the rules very well.
“No need for formalities.”
Xiao Zeyu asked her to stand up, but Su Qing remained silent as she sized up the bride.
The new wife was lovely, like a flower bud about to bloom. Her face was so fair that water could be squeezed out. Her big eyes were bright and beautiful. She was a peerless beauty in the world.
She smiled and pursed her lips. The dimples on her cheeks made her look even more charming.
Su Qing felt that it was bizarre. How did such a peerless beauty marry Li Daniu?
Although Li Daniu was a good person, he was uncultured and crude. Although his family was wealthy, he was not from a prestigious family. He was just an ordinary citizen.
One look at this woman, and one could tell that she was someone who had been pampered for a long time. Her actions were natural and graceful, and she had a noble temperament. It was obvious that she had read a lot of books and had received a good education. She was a different person from Li Daniu.
When Su Qing was sizing Wen Xiu up, Wen Xiu was also looking at her. Her smile was like a freshly blooming lily, fresh and beautiful. Her eyes were yellowish-brown, and Su Qing felt that her eyes were inexplicably familiar.
“Empress, I’ve heard a lot about your great achievements from Da Niu. You’re a hero among women. I’ve been fascinated by you ever since I heard about you. Today, I saw that you’re brave and heroic, a rare sight worldwide.”
Wen Xiu’s words were very flattering. Su Qing glanced at her indifferently. There was no flattery on her face. She looked so natural. Su Qing felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her every move..
