The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

In the first month of Situ Mo's reign, he issued many imperial edicts. Two of the most important ones were both related to his brothers and sisters.

The first one: For the crime of intentional treason, the fifth prince Situ Yan and the fourth prince Situ Ye were demoted to commoners, and they and their relatives were captured alive.

The second one: In order to consolidate the friendship between Xuanzhao and Baidi, the second princess Situ Ya is ordered to marry Baidi and set off today.

So everyone in the court and the country knew that the new emperor was going to take action against his brothers and sisters.

However, on the day when the first imperial edict was issued, some officers and soldiers went to the Yan family's old house, only to find that it was already deserted.

I asked the people around, but no one knew when Yan Shang and Yan Guanqing disappeared.

The officers and soldiers asked Yan Shang who he was closest to, intending to take him back to the Yan family for interrogation.

An asthmatic citizen stood out trembling, gasping for breath and pointing at the yellow dog at the door.

Officers and soldiers: "..."

The key point is that this yellow dog seemed to know some inside information. When it saw that everyone was looking at it, it stood up leisurely, wagging its tail and walked forward like a big boss. After taking a few steps, it looked back at everyone.

The asthmatic citizen tapped the soldier's shoulder and said, "Big brother, it's calling you."

The officers and soldiers all looked upset: "You are its older brother!"

As soon as he roared, the asthmatic bent over and coughed exaggeratedly: "Oh my, the soldiers are bullying the people! Help~"

"Although I won't live long, you can't send me off early. I'm still waiting to sweep the graves of my ancestors who died early. You scared me to death. Will you sweep the graves for me later?"

He had a loud voice and was a good speaker. Even though he was coughing so hard it didn't stop him from shouting, and everyone around him was pointing and talking.

The officers and soldiers were so angry that they gnashed their teeth, but there was nothing they could do, so they followed the yellow dog with their men.

He was also curious about what the yellow dog knew.

The yellow dog walked about a hundred meters and stopped in a dead end.

There were a lot of chicken bones thrown in that dead end. I don’t know which wicked person was eating chicken here all day long.

This is nothing, the key is that now my son, those chicken bones are arranged on the ground to form a few big words -

Fuck you, you bastard!

Everyone: "..."

The officers' temples throbbed, and they ordered their men to collect the chicken bones, then turned back to report.

In the crowd, Jin Baisui occasionally coughed.

The third steward who followed him saw that he was still coughing after everyone had left, and whispered to remind him: "Master, stop acting, everyone has left."

"Oh, yes."

Jin Baisui stood up, squinted his eyes, and waved the folding fan in his hand: "Let's go home."

After a pause, he continued, "Oh, by the way, remember to buy two more chickens."

-

Imperial Palace, Qianxin Hall.

Situ Mo looked at the box of chicken bones, his voice calm but solemn: "So, do you think Yan Shang deliberately put this in front of me?"

"Yes……"

The officer knelt on the ground, his back covered in cold sweat: "I have asked around, Yan Shang... likes to eat chicken."

Situ Mo's eyes fell on the chicken bones, his expression uncertain.

After a moment, he said coldly: "Back off."

"Yes."

The officers and soldiers immediately retreated and left. It was not until they were a long way away from Qianxin Palace that he finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Compared with the retired emperor, their new emperor is really... scary.

Whether it was the officials in the court or these soldiers, they all knew that although the retired emperor seemed to have a bad temper, he was truly kind. Unlike the new emperor, he looked gentle, but he would really kill someone if he didn't do his job well.

Situ Mo sat quietly in the Qianxin Hall. He raised his eyes slightly and saw the old tree outside the window.

According to the young eunuch, Situ Qing often looked at the tree and thought deeply.

Situ Mo didn't know what his father was thinking when he was looking at the tree. At this moment, he also tried to learn to think deeply like Situ Qing, but the only response he got was coldness.

"emperor."

The young eunuch Li Sheng came in from the door and whispered, "The Empress Dowager is here."

The Imperial Concubine, also known as the Ying Concubine, walked in, asked the maid to put down the food box, and said to her son with a smile: "Mo'er, it's a good thing that you are diligent in your work, but you should also pay attention to rest. I heard from the servants that you coughed again last night, right?"

Situ Mo stood up and helped her sit down, saying respectfully: "Don't worry, mother. I'm fine."

Tiffany Ying helped him to pour a bowl of soup and handed it to him, advising him lovingly: "Drink some hot soup quickly."

Situ Mo smelled the soup, frowned slightly and asked: "Mother, this soup..."

Concubine Ying said, "This is the black chicken soup that the imperial kitchen has been cooking for nearly ten hours. It is very nourishing."

chicken soup……

Situ Mo closed his eyes and pushed the bowl away: "Change to something else, I hate chicken these days."

Shadow Toffee: ???

If he didn't want to eat, then he didn't have to eat. Concubine Ying poured another cup of tea for her son and asked casually, "That girl Ya'er... has she been away for a few days, right?"

Situ Mo looked over with a dark look in his eyes.

Concubine Ying paused and said with a smile, "Mother has no other intentions, I just want to ask. You know Concubine An... Oh, now she is Concubine An. She always pesters me to ask about her daughter. I can't just give her a perfunctory answer every time, so I came here to ask."

Situ Mo said indifferently: "Tell her that as long as she is obedient, Situ Ya will be fine. Don't ask about other things."

"Okay, I'll tell you."

The topic ended here. Concubine Ying looked at her son. Ever since he became emperor, he has been more like a cold snowman than before. She wanted to show concern for him but didn't know where to start.

The only place this snowman has warmth...

Concubine Ying was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Mo'er, you didn't kill Situ Ran, and allowed Situ Ye, that bastard, to enter the palace. Is it because you wanted to use them as pawns, or because... you were soft-hearted and couldn't bear to kill them?"

The fingers in Situ Mo's sleeves trembled slightly.

"Could not bear?"

He sneered, his eyes cold, "Mother, have you not counted how many people I have killed these days? I'll let Li Sheng count and tell you, and you won't say these three words again."

He paused and looked at Concubine Ying: "Or did mother let me become the emperor just to make me kill everyone in the world and become a tyrant?"

"of course not."

Concubine Ying said hurriedly: "Mother wants you to be a good emperor, and mother believes you can do it. My son is better than anyone else in the Situ family!"

She sighed, raised her hand and grasped Situ Mo's sleeve, and said softly: "Mother just feels sorry for you, Mo'er. Mother just wants to tell you that since you have chosen this path, don't leave yourself any handle."

Situ Mo laughed at himself, pulled out his hand and said, "Don't worry, mother. I kept those people just to make Sixth Brother obedient."

"Besides, with these people around, my fifth brother will be restrained."

Concubine Ying frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "With Concubine Li here, Situ Xu definitely doesn't have to worry, but Situ Yan... will he be obedient? He doesn't look like he cares much about your father."

After all, they had all seen how "filial" Situ Yan was in the past.

Situ Mo pursed his lips and said coldly: "It doesn't matter whether he cares or not, what matters is that someone cares."

Concubine Ying was stunned for a moment: "Are you talking about Xie Yuantang?"

Thinking of the mischievous little figure, Concubine Ying said, "There has been no news for so many years. Maybe... she is dead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Mo glanced over.

That look was calm and peaceful, but it made Concubine Ying feel inexplicably nervous.

Situ Mo sneered and said, "She won't die. If she died, Situ Yan would have beaten her long ago."
