"It's so late, let's have lunch together, you must be hungry."
"Not with the old prince?"
"Grandpa eats light food, I guess you are not used to it."
The two left together, and Uncle Zhou trotted over, "Prince, princess, please wait a moment."
As they got closer, the two of them discovered that Uncle Zhou was holding a jar in his hand, "This is the tea that the princess drank just now. The old prince guessed that the princess liked it, so he asked the old slave to bring the rest and bring it back to the princess."
Su Yue was so surprised that even Xiao Han raised his eyebrows. This was a treatment that even he did not receive.
Su Yue took it, "Uncle Zhou, please thank the old prince for me."
Uncle Zhou smiled with a kind look on his face. This will be their mistress from now on, so naturally he will be more attentive. "Okay, I will convey this to you. By the way, there is also this." Uncle Zhou handed over a piece of paper.
Xiao Han immediately took the jar from Su Yue's hand. Su Yue took the paper and looked at it. It turned out to be this... A smile appeared on Su Yue's lips, "Thank you, old prince, Yue'er knows. ”
"Hey, okay, okay, the old slave will go back first."
After Uncle Zhou left, Xiao Han took the paper and looked at it curiously, "Fu Lingcao? What is it?"
"A kind of herbal medicine. This herbal medicine was added to the old prince's tea. I didn't drink it just now." Su Yue explained.
"like very much?"
"Well, it's not bad, it tastes quite special."

Before Su Yue left, she visited Bai Xinmei again and went into the palace.
"Will this trip to Northern Xinjiang be dangerous?"
"It's not big, it should be much better than the last time I went to Beiqi."
Emperor Wu nodded, "Father, please allocate some more people to you, so that we can protect you secretly and won't disturb you."
"No need, the ones you gave me last time are pretty good, and I can use the cold wind very well."
"As long as you use it well. But with Han'er here, I really don't have anything to worry about."
"Um."
"How are you... Han'er treating you well?"
"fine."
"you like him?"
"Of course, why do you want to get engaged if you don't like it?" Su Yue asked back.
"Ahem...Father, I just wanted to ask, nothing else."
"oh."
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while, and Emperor Wu tried his best to find a topic, "Then... when will you come back?"
"I will definitely come back before the New Year. I promised my grandma to stay in Kyoto to spend the New Year with her."
"well."
It’s to spend the New Year with my grandmother, not with him, my biological father...
"younger sister!"
Xiao Yan's voice interrupted the awkwardness in the room. Su Yue looked up and saw her brother coming over in high spirits, with a happy face and a good complexion.
Su Yue showed a bright smile to Xiao Yan, "Brother, why are you here just now? Are you so busy recently?"
"It's a bit busy."
Xiao Yan glanced at Emperor Wu calmly. He was not his biological father, so he had to leave everything big and small to him. Especially when he knew that his sister was going to enter the palace, he did everything possible to keep himself in the imperial study. The last time was so bad that he didn't even have time to talk to his sister. This time I tried to follow the old plan again, hum, it’s not that easy.
Emperor Wu noticed his son's gaze and ducked away with a guilty conscience, "Ahem...Why is Yan'er here? Has everything been taken care of?"
Xiao Yan didn't even bother to give him an unnecessary look, "There is no way to finish the work, and I also need to rest, Father." The word "Father" was emphasized very strongly.
"Yes, my brother is in good health, so he shouldn't be too tired." Su Yue naturally helped Xiao Yan speak.
"Yes, yes," Emperor Wu responded immediately, "I am anxious, I will take it step by step in the future, hehe, hehehe."
"That's just right. My sister is leaving tomorrow. Let's have lunch with my brother today."
"Okay, that's the arrangement."
"It's okay, we are a family of three..."
Xiao Yan interrupted him before he finished speaking, "Father, didn't you say that the drought in the northwest should be dealt with immediately? I want to accompany my sister to have dinner, so father should handle this matter by himself. You said you had a headache this morning, now look It looks like it should be fine."
Emperor Wu choked again. These two children were born to defeat him...
"That won't affect your meal..."
"Didn't you tell me to deal with it immediately this morning?" Xiao Yan looked at him sideways.
"Ahem... people have already been arranged over there, and... we're not in such a hurry."
"Huh." Xiao Yan didn't say much, and walked out of the hall with Su Yue.
Emperor Wu was speechless, "Is he the father or am I the father?"
Zhang Fu snickered from the side, "Then, Your Majesty...are you going or eating here?"
"Of course I'm going, I can't take advantage of this brat." Emperor Wu strode away, followed by Zhang Fu who was laughing.
"You old guy, you dare to laugh at me." After cursing, he still got angry and turned around and kicked Zhang Fu in the butt.
"Oh, Your Majesty, how dare you, this slave?" Emperor Wu was not serious and only used to scare people. Zhang Fu quickly begged for mercy.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? As an emperor, my words are becoming more and more useless."
Even though Emperor Wu was an unpopular person, it didn't affect Su Yue's mood, and the noisy one also ate quite happily.
After Su Yue left the palace, Xiao Yan and Emperor Wu stood on the tower watching the direction she left.
"Yan'er, tell me, when can she call me father?"
"······"
"Can she still not forgive me?"
"······"
Emperor Wu was dissatisfied with Xiao Yan's silence and glanced sideways at him, "Why did I give birth to you, such a dull gourd?"
"You don't have to give birth."
"You!..." Emperor Wu took a deep breath, and his son could only endure it, "I plan to abdicate early next year, are you still able to adapt?"
Xiao Yan frowned, "So early?"
"It's getting late, and you're old. Father, I see that you handle things in a very orderly manner, so I don't need to worry about anything. Your mother and concubine... I want to go and pick her up, but I'm afraid she'll be there alone." It’s so lonely.”
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, "There's no need to abdicate so early. Anyway, I'm basically handling everything now. You can go if you want, and it won't affect anything."
Emperor Wu's eyes were gentle, "Okay, Father, I listen to you. When you are ready, tell Father."
"Where's my grandfather?"
"Well, I have discussed this matter with your grandfather, and he will go with me next year."
"Then when we come back...where is the mother-in-law buried?" Xiao Yan asked a little cautiously.
"I promised your grandfather, and your mother and concubine probably don't want to be buried in the royal family, so I'll temporarily place them in the Su family. Wait...wait for me a hundred years later, Yan'er, please remember to treat me with your mother and concubine Buried together.”
"You are the emperor."
"I know, you can always find a way, right?" Emperor Wu smiled with an indifferent look on his face. Who is the emperor or what his identity is? Those are not important to him.
Xiao Yan pursed his lips and fell silent. His clenched fists showed how bad his mood was at the moment.
Emperor Wu laughed softly a few times and stopped talking.
