Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

From where they were, they could clearly see what was happening downstairs. Mei Susu leaned over to look and saw that the long street was surrounded by people. In the middle of the crowd, a beggar with a broken leg lying on the ground was holding a servant from a wealthy family and stammering something.

He was covered in dirt and had a horrible appearance. The boy tried hard to kick him away but couldn't get rid of him.

Mei Susu looked through the half-open carriage window and saw the person sitting inside. She was surprised and said, "Isn't that Old Lady Cao? Why is she here?"

Xuanyuan Che pinched her little face: "Has Su Su seen her?"

"Who?"

Xuanyuan Che looked towards the carriage: "Old Lady Cao."

Mei Susu nodded: "Didn't she stop our carriage yesterday and saw it through the window?"

"I see."

Mei Susu pulled Xuanyuan Che's sleeve and pointed at the beggar on the ground: "Cheche, look at that man's leg, it's still bleeding, that's a new wound, was he framed by someone, so he stopped the Cao family's carriage and wanted to find someone to help him?"

Xuanyuan Che smiled without saying anything. Mei Susu looked at his leisurely appearance. For some reason, she felt as if he knew everything.

Mei Susu looked at him suspiciously: "Cheche, do you know something?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion among the crowd below.

The servant got angry and kicked the beggar away, then climbed onto the carriage and was about to leave with a whip.

The beggar had a broken leg and couldn't get up. He could only crawl on the ground, trying hard to hold on to the wheels of the carriage. However, his movements were too slow and he could only watch the carriage go farther and farther away.

After the carriage left, the crowd gradually dispersed, but some people with good intentions surrounded the beggar with a crippled leg and laughed at him.

Mei Susu felt uncomfortable watching this, and felt that these people were going too far. She immediately leaned on the window and yelled, "What are you doing! What's the point of bullying a beggar!"

Unfortunately, the crowd was so noisy that her voice was drowned out and no one paid any attention to her.

"I'm so angry!" Mei Susu rolled up her sleeves and was about to go downstairs, ready to drive those people away.

Xuanyuan Che grabbed her, pulled her into his arms, peeled an orange and fed it into her mouth: "Susu, what are you going to do?"

Mei Susu said angrily: "Go and drive those people away."

"Susu, do you know why that beggar stopped the Cao family's carriage just now?"

They were in a position too high up, and there was so much noise and bustle below that she couldn't hear what was going on.

"The beggar stopped the Cao family's carriage and said that he was the son of old lady Cao and a great general of Dashun."

Mei Susu's eyes widened: "Is he crazy? How could he look like that..."

Before she could finish her words, Mei Susu suddenly saw the smile on Xuanyuan Che's mouth and the light in his eyes, and she stopped talking halfway.

She shuddered, and a terrible thought came to her mind: "He...won't really?"

Xuanyuan Che laughed loudly, then stuffed another orange slice into Mei Susu's mouth.

"Su Su is smart, why not guess whether he is or not."

"Impossible." Mei Susu rejected it directly: "If he is from the Cao family, the son of Old Lady Cao, he is right in front of Old Lady Cao, there is no way she would not recognize him."

"Besides, looking at the way Old Lady Cao looked from beginning to end, she didn't seem to be in a hurry, which means that General Cao is still in the mansion. If General Cao really had an accident, she would definitely not react like this."

As she spoke, Mei Susu leaned forward to look downstairs. The beggar had already crawled under a tree, covered in mud, looking neither human nor ghost. She bit her lip, unable to associate him with the majestic general.

"Susu is simple." Xuanyuan Che looked outside with her: "The people of this aristocratic family are the most cruel. They have been the best of others for a long time. Even if they are about to go to hell, they are unwilling to break their pride."

"Similarly, these people are the best at disguising themselves. If something does not bring them any benefit, they will abandon even their closest relatives."

Xuanyuan Che looked at the people who were not aware of their own mortality under the tree and sneered, "They are a group of evil ghosts, evil ghosts without emotions."

Mei Susu was confused by what she heard, so, was the other party General Cao?

But the result doesn't seem to matter anymore. Whether he is or not, he can't go back to his original appearance.

She only asked Xuanyuan Che one question in the end: "Why did he end up like this?"

Xuanyuan Che put his arms around her, rested his chin on her shoulder, and replied faintly: "Because you overestimate your own abilities, you bring about your own destruction."

Mei Susu blinked slightly, and the answer came to her mind.

"Guessed it?" Xuanyuan Che smiled.

Mei Susu nodded: "Yeah."

Xuanyuan Che held her little face in his hands, and looked at her with a smile in his phoenix eyes: "Is Su Su afraid of being alone?"

Mei Susu shook her head and buried her face in his arms: "Don't be afraid."

Xuanyuan Che entangled her hair, and the corners of his mouth curled up slowly: "Why aren't you afraid? I tortured him to this extent, and Su Su just wanted to stand up for him?"

"That's not the case." Mei Susu raised her little face from Xuanyuan Che's arms: "I believe Cheche must have his own reasons for doing this."

Xuanyuan Che's eyes suddenly darkened, and his voice became hoarse: "Does Susu trust me so much? I am not a good person."

"No, Cheche is a good person." Mei Susu hugged his waist and abdomen: "Others may not know but I know that Cheche never kills innocent people."

The luckiest thing in the world is that the person you love trusts you.

Xuanyuan Che never thought of himself as a good person, but he was afraid that in Su Su's eyes, he was a bad person.

Fortunately, Su Su understands him, which is his luck.

Xuanyuan Che felt relieved and pressed the person against his chest. Mei Susu listened to his heartbeat like a drum and reached out to hold his.

"But if he becomes like this, what should we do with the army he has?"

Xuanyuan Che touched Mei Susu's smooth hair and said, "Of course I will take it back."

Xuanyuan Che's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "Cao He has been guarding the border for more than ten years. Every year, the border officials write about the people's hardship and hunger. The silver and food allocated by the court are all pocketed by him. He used the court's money to bribe the court officials and conspired with Queen Cao and others to rebel. The only reason he was kept until now is that it is not easy to kill him outside the capital."

Mei Susu suddenly got some idea and her eyes lit up as she asked, "So, Cheche, you guys put Empress Cao under house arrest and crippled the Third Prince's legs, all to force Cao He to return to the capital?"

Xuanyuan Che smiled and said, "Of course, but planning is in the hands of man. If the Cao family had not been blinded by desire, how could they have walked into the trap step by step? Xuanyuan Feng's legs were crippled, which was beyond the plan. He should never have tied you up. I am merciful to spare his life."
