The palace, the prison.
Su Huan was dressed in prison clothes and was meditating in the cell.
The Queen Mother was dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing her majesty and solemnity, which was incompatible with this cell. The young eunuch moved a chair with great discernment and said, "My Lady, please sit down."
Su Huan naturally knew that the Queen Mother was here, but he still meditated calmly without any reaction.
"General Zhenguo, how does it feel to be in prison today?" The Queen Mother was lying on the Taishi chair, looking at her brightly colored nails, as if she was very satisfied with the color.
Su Huan still didn't open his eyes.
The Queen Mother glanced at her and chuckled, "Su Huan, you don't think you have one more day to go out, do you? At such an old age, you should restrain your temper."
Su Huan opened his eyes and said, "Empress Dowager, this prison is not the place you should come to."
"Ha," the Queen Mother looked around with contemptuous eyes, "it is indeed not a good place, so general, don't waste the time of the Ai family. The Ai family are here for only one thing."
Su Huan sneered in his heart, but his face remained expressionless, "Queen Mother, please speak."
"Where is Xiao Yuntian?"
"Haha, Queen Mother, this doesn't seem to be something you should be concerned about."
The Queen Mother showed displeasure, "Su Huan, I think you have lost your brain because of your age. The Ai family can still ask you in a good-tempered way. Are you ignorant?"
"The old minister is also telling the truth. Besides, the old minister doesn't know where the old prince is."
"How could you not know? My people have already found out that Xiao Yuntian has returned to Beijing. Who else will he contact besides you?" The Queen Mother looked ugly.
"I really don't know."
"You! Su Huan, don't give me a toast or drink as a fine. Do you think you are still the superior general who governs the country? The Ai family tells you that you are a prisoner now."
"I believe that the emperor will restore my innocence."
"Hahahahaha, Su Huan, do you really think the emperor will save you?" The Queen Mother smiled wildly, "Now you are colluding with the third prince of Northern Xinjiang and committing treason. You are too whimsical."
"I was wrongly accused. Your Majesty will be able to find the evidence."
"Hahaha, you are so innocent, Su Huan, why didn't I realize you were so innocent before? Huh?" The Queen Mother smiled so arrogantly. "The evidence is conclusive, do you still want the emperor to save you?"
"That evidence is definitely false." Su Huan looked very angry, with vicious eyes.
"The letter written by the third prince of Northern Xinjiang to you is still fake? Hahaha."
Su Huan looked at the Queen Mother with sharp eyes, "It's you!"
"Haha, so what if it's me? Do you have any evidence? Su Huan, you are almost at the age of death, and you are still so naive?"
"Why? As the Queen Mother of Daqing, you have a distinguished status. Why do you collude with Beijiang? What benefits does it benefit you?" Su Huan said with indignation.
"Then it has nothing to do with you. Just stay well. I probably won't be able to stay for more than two days, ha." If you don't know the whereabouts of Xiao Yuntian, then you are of no use to me.
"The late emperor... The late emperor has deep affection for you. Why do you do this? Why do you want to collude with other countries?"
"Don't mention the late emperor to me." The Queen Mother's face instantly turned ugly, "If it weren't for him, I would not be separated from Xiao Yuntian. If it weren't for him..." The Queen Mother's eyes turned red instantly, not knowing Is it because of hatred or something else.
"After so many years, the late emperor has shown you all his care, but you haven't had the slightest bit..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "Su Huan, mind your own business and stop meddling in other people's business." Then she left as if running away.
Su Huan looked at the Queen Mother's leaving figure with complicated eyes.
Su Yu came out from the inside and said, "Grandpa."
"How are you preparing?"
"Don't worry, everything is arranged."
"You still have to be cautious. Seeing how the Queen Mother is doing, it's probably just for the next two days."
"My grandson knows."
"Your grandmother, let her relax."
"Yes, my grandson told his grandmother. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he should have guessed it based on his intelligence."
"Well, it doesn't matter. Your grandmother knows what's important. Okay, let's go back."
"Yes, grandson, let's go now. Grandpa... please be careful."
Su Huan's eyes showed kindness, "Grandpa is fine, don't worry. You should be careful when you go back."
"Yes, my grandson is gone."
"Um."
Baiyun Temple.
"Xiaobao, look here, look here, hahahaha, this is a little duck, quack quack." Ouyang Qingqing teased her younger brother with a little duck that Xuan Xiaosi had just made.
"Hey~"
"Isn't it cute? My fourth uncle made this for you."
"Hey~"
"Hahahaha, it's very cute, isn't it? Let me show it to my sister." The little girl jumped to the cradle next to her, "Sister, sister Xing'er, look at this little duck."
Xiao Xing'er spat out a bubble of saliva to show her dignity, and patted it with her soft little hands.
"Hahaha, Xing'er likes it too, right?"
"Mom, second aunt, look, my brothers and sisters all like this little duck. I have to ask my fourth uncle to make another one, otherwise it won't be enough."
"You, don't bother your fourth uncle all the time. Your fourth uncle is busy." Wu Ling nodded her forehead.
"Fourth uncle is not busy. Aunt Xiaowu is practicing, and he is lying aside and watching." The little girl made a funny face at the little duck, which was really cute.
"That's not okay, adults have adult business, so you can't bother them all the time."
"Oh~ I know."
"Okay, sister-in-law. Our Qingqing is already very good, right?" Li Shishi looked at Ouyang Qingqing tenderly.
"Well, Qingqing is very good." The little girl nodded heavily.
"You." Wu Ling's face was filled with affection.
"Originally, I wonder if Aunt Xiaowu has finished practicing? Qingqing wants to eat cake." Ouyang Qingqing remembered the strawberry cake she had eaten before, and her mouth was watering.
"Oh, it seems that Qingqing and I have a good connection. I happened to make something delicious." Su Yue came in from the outside with a tray in her hands, with a cute smile on her face.
"Aunt Xiaowu," the little girl immediately rushed over and hugged Su Yue's leg, "That's great. You showed up immediately as soon as Qingqing missed you. It seems that Aunt Xiaowu also misses Qingqing, right?"
Su Yue pinched her round face and said, "Yes, Aunt Xiaowu misses you too. But you, I think you miss the cakes made by your aunt even more."
"Think about it all." The little girl's eyes were fixed on the tray.
Su Yue put the tray on the table, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"
"Just chat, what delicious food did you cook today?" Wu Ling was also attracted by the things on the tray.
"Xiaowu's craftsmanship is really impressive. I've only been here a few days and I already feel like I've gained a few pounds." Li Shishi pursed her lips and chuckled.
Su Yue made a soufflé today, with a lot of cream and fruit decorations on top, which was very delicate and beautiful.
"This is...another kind of dessert, it tastes as good as cake. I'll give you some to try."
"Wow! Wow! Wow! It's so beautiful, Aunt Xiaowu, this is so beautiful. How do you want to eat this? Qingqing can't bear to part with it." Ouyang Qingqing stared at the food on the table with her eyes wide open, her little nose twitching. Sniffing, not to mention how cute it is.
