Chapter 1171: Chapter 933 Truth 12_3
"There is indeed a problem, it must be dealt with harshly!"
Suisui thought Grandma was wrong; buying and selling officials is a huge crime!
Previously, Grandma said that doing this would ruin the foundation of the Great Han court, so why is it just a minor issue now?
"Suisui! Do not speak recklessly!!"
The Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly put on a stern face as she spoke to Suisui.
"Where did the child speak incorrectly?
Empress Dowager! Although I’m just a woman and child, and don’t understand court affairs, the Prince asked me to enter the Palace, giving many reminders, definitely wanting a truthful statement!
The Emperor’s actions are clearly not minor; he is afraid the Great Han might inadvertently shake its very foundation, saying that after all, the Emperor is of the utmost reverence and can do as he wills. Who dares to stop him?
Who can stop him?
But after all, he is young and impulsive, and what he doesn’t think of, as his uncle, he must think for him.
If indeed something goes too far and can’t be wrapped up, his uncle would still be able to take up arms and go to the battlefield to kill enemies."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Xiao’s eyes instantly turned red.
Her voice buzzed as she said, "Zhan’Er couldn’t have a good father, but he has a good uncle!"
"We have watched him grow up, and he is also capable. The Prince often says, he fears that he might be the most intelligent emperor our Xiao Family has ever had, and might never have another emperor who is as wise and skillful in employing talent.
Empress Dowager, you must not hide things, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he said that the world belongs to the Long Family.
Our royal kin and His Majesty, and you, are like broken bones still connected by flesh and tendons.
Shared glory, shared loss!"
After Princess Yixin finished speaking, the Empress Dowager Xiao laughed.
"I know, don’t overthink it, this isn’t a major issue, it’s not like someone is plotting to usurp the throne and kill the Emperor.
Rest assured, as long as the Emperor remains the Emperor, even if the court faces great turmoil, he can stabilize the situation!"
Princess Yixin felt the Empress Dowager’s words were indeed reasonable.
Who says otherwise?
As long as the one seated on the Dragon Throne is that fifteen-year-old emperor who took over the administration, what kind of chaos couldn’t he unravel?
"You are right; looking at the court, there is no one who dares to assassinate the king or usurp the throne."
She had just finished speaking when little Suisui, who just yawned while lying on the bed, chimed in softly.
"Who says no one dares? Secretary Lu dares!"
Empress Dowager Xiao: "..."
Princess Yixin: "..."
The two looked at each other.
Even Xie Pan’Er, who was standing guard beside her, had her mouth agape!
"Is this child the one from the Ji Family?
Maybe she’s muddled in sleep, talking nonsense?"
Princess Yixin clutched her handkerchief against her heart.
The Empress Dowager Xiao, however, shook her head seriously, "No!!"
"She isn’t the child from the Ji Family?
Then whose child would dare sleep on your soft couch?"
Upon entering, Princess Yixin had seen the child sleeping on the soft couch behind the bead curtain.
She speculated that this child must be the niece from the Ji Family, who the Emperor titled as Princess Chang Rongshun.
She had no fondness for this child, but no bad impressions either, despite the rumors flying around outside, she firmly believed in what she saw with her own eyes.
Today, because of her urgent worry, she walked in without asking upon seeing Suisui.
Upon hearing Suisui’s words now, she couldn’t help but ask.
"She is indeed from the Ji Family, my dear granddaughter, and what she said just now probably wasn’t nonsense due to muddled sleep."
The Empress Dowager Xiao led the way inside and saw Xie Pan’Er covering Suisui’s mouth, softly advising her not to speak carelessly.
"Don’t cover her mouth anymore, she has already said what should and shouldn’t be said; there’s no point in concealing it now."
Empress Dowager Xiao and Princess Yixin walked in, motioning for Xie Pan’Er to release her hand.
At this moment, little Suisui was still in a daze, with half-open, half-closed eyes, she called out "Grandma!"
"Wake up, come greet your Grandma Princess Yixin!"
The Empress Dowager Xiao sat on the embroidered stool next to the soft couch.
Mandarin duck quickly brought an embroidered stool for Princess Yixin.
"Suisui! Wake up!"
Xie Pan’Er also called out, seeing that the little girl hadn’t yet fully awoken, still in a dazed state, she said.
"Princess Lianchun is here, carrying a large stack of paper and brush, ink, and inkstone!"
The little girl jolted, rolled over, and sat up, "Where? Aunt, I don’t want to write big characters! My hand is sore! Wa wa wa..."
The Empress Dowager Xiao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Princess Yixin couldn’t resist using a handkerchief to cover her mouth, softly laughing, "This child is quite adorable!"
Little Suisui sniffed, didn’t smell the familiar fragrance from her aunt, but instead caught a scent of herbal medicine.
Quickly pinched her nose, "This Grandma’s smell of medicine is so strong!"
Princess Yixin’s face instantly stiffened!
