Chapter 217 What Did She Do Wrong?

Su Wan turned back in astonishment: "Leave me?" In a flash, she thought of a possibility: "I also have half of my blood from the Great Zhou Kingdom. Aren't you afraid that I will cooperate with the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

The Empress Dowager suddenly laughed: "Ji Xuan took my daughter away, and I left his daughter. What's wrong?"

"..."

What did she do wrong?

The Empress Dowager saw Su Wan's speechless face, as if she had found fun, her frosty face relaxed, and she leaned on the big welcoming pillow: "You go back."

"..."

Su Wan pursed her lips and left.

After a while, the female official who was guarding outside came in.

The Empress Dowager put the Buddhist beads on her wrist, pressed her swollen and painful forehead, and ordered: "You go to Wei Yang and send Su Wan what Qi Min usually does."

The female official was startled and suddenly looked at the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes tiredly for a long time before she sighed, "She is more open-minded than Qi Min."

She had no doubt that if Su Wan stood in Qi Min's position and protected the country with her life and blood, they would be wary of, calculate, and abandon her because of her blood.

Su Wan would never compromise and would be determined to fight to the end.

So what if the imperial power suppressed and rebelled?

Qi Min lacked such determination.

Without the Qi family, the Great Zhou was still prosperous and peaceful.

Even if the Qi family rebelled, the people would not be in dire straits.

The female official was confused and saw that the Empress Dowager had no other instructions, so she immediately withdrew.

Returning to Mingxin Hall, she conveyed the words of the Empress Dowager to the Queen.

After hearing this, the Queen was surprised, but she also sorted out some government affairs and handed them over to the female official.

The female official took the government affairs to Yaoguang Hall.

——

It rained lightly at night, and Su Wan fell all over.

He took a few steps and hid under the eaves of Yaoguang Palace, shook off the rain, pushed open the palace door with his frozen hands, and stood at the door, staring blankly into the palace.

Ji Xuan was standing beside the table in a dark brocade robe, and the dim palace lanterns shone on him, giving him a warm color. He held a string of red candied haws in his hand, wrapped in a thin layer of sugar slices. Before he put it in his mouth, he had already imagined taking a bite, the sour and astringent hawthorn fruit mixed with the sweet sugar slices, which was extremely delicious.

There was also a sugar painting of a colorful phoenix spreading its wings, which was crystal clear and vivid under the candlelight.

There were several wooden boxes on the table, and Su Wan couldn't see what was inside.

"Wanwan, you're back." Ji Xuan didn't ask where she went. He followed her line of sight and glanced at the candied haws and candied fruit. "I went to get a hundred-year-old ginseng. On the way, I met someone selling candied haws and candied haws."

Luo Cheng was hiding in a corner. When he heard the regent's words, he really wanted to run out and tell the whole story for him.

He clearly didn't know how to coax his daughter. He copied and bought candied haws to coax people.

Su Wan was already so old. How could his little girl be so easy to fool?

"Luo Cheng's daughter likes to eat it, so I bought it for you to try." Ji Xuan rarely showed a trace of nervousness. He was worried that Su Wan was still angry with him and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Su Wan: "..."

How old is Luo Cheng's daughter? He coaxed her like a three-year-old child?

Su Wan saw him trying hard to coax her and please her, but he couldn't do it. Finally, his heart softened.

"I like sugar painting very much." Su Wan came to Ji Xuan and took the sugar painting and candied haws: "Thank you."

Ji Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and touched Su Wan's head: "Rest early."

Su Wan nodded and prepared to return to the inner hall with the sugar painting.

The voice of the female official came from outside: "Miss Su, His Majesty said that since you have come to Xiliang, Madam Qi's affairs will be handed over to you."
