Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

When the two returned to the cottage, there was no trace of Shoushan. Only the red fox was lying on the wall with its limbs spread out.

Seeing Qiao Xi coming back, he looked at her with tears in his eyes.

The servant explained, "The old man made us stand there as punishment. He said we were not allowed to come down until he calmed down."

Qiao Xi saw that the red fox's two upright hind legs were trembling, thinking that it had been standing there for quite some time, so she asked Su Heting, "What happened to it?"

Su Heting didn't know either, but since he was able to scare the Red Fox to flee to the northern border and was punished by his grandfather like this, he probably got into some serious trouble this time.

Looking up at the roof, Su Heting asked, "What's going on?"

A black-clad secret guard appeared. He was sent by Su Heting to follow Shoushan.

"Hong Gu killed the pheasant that Grandpa had just raised. Grandpa had searched several hills and selected the most beautiful one to raise as your daughter.

Hong Gu made a mistake but didn't admit it in time, and she even secretly escaped with Lu Yi. The old man was very angry this time."

After a pause, the secret guard glanced at Su Heting and Qiao Xi, and continued, "The old man said that if anyone wants to plead for it, they can give it another great-granddaughter, and he will spare the red fox."

Qiao Xi could only look at the red fox with a helpless look.

Not to mention that she had no plans to have children, even if she did, it would be after ten months of pregnancy.

Su Heting asked, "Where is grandpa?"

The secret guard shook his head.

do not know!

can not say!

Su Heting knew that the old man must have given some instructions, so he waved his hand and did not make things difficult for the secret guard.

The secret guard quickly retreated.

Su Heting glanced at the red fox who was facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes, then stepped into the main hall.

According to the original owner's memory, his grandfather went insane due to the trauma of the tragic death of his relatives. Therefore, he often picked up birds and beasts in the mountains and raised them as relatives.

To outsiders, they are just pheasants, but in the eyes of my grandfather, they are real relatives. The red fox is raised by my grandfather as his daughter. Although my grandfather scolds it harshly, he loves it very much.

Besides, grandpa might forget about being angry later.

Su Heting had no intention of getting involved in the grudges and hatred between them.

Qiao Xi sat down on the stone bench in the yard. She was a little tired from traveling these days. If possible, she would like to take a comfortable hot bath and have a good sleep.

But this was Su Heting's house, and it was her first time here, so she didn't know which room to stay in.

Su Heting was in a bad mood right now. If she went up to ask him, she would probably only get Su Heting's ridicule that she was not a qualified wife.

How could she go to bed before it gets dark and her husband has rested?

While looking at the sky with her hands on her cheeks, Qiao Xi thought that maybe she should buy a house, a house with the words "Qiao House" written on the doorplate.

After finding their fourth brother, they finally had a home again.

I just don’t know where my fourth brother is now, whether he is safe and sound, and what the emperor wants to do by keeping him here.

Qiao Xi didn't dare to think too much.

No one knew how much effort she put in to resist looking for Ji Chuan in Yincheng.

When Ji Chuan was forced into a desperate situation, any action she took might alert the enemy.

But she couldn't let her fourth brother wait too long.

Qiao Xi stood up and walked into the main hall.

Su Heting was handling official business with his head down.

Qiao Xi didn't know when these official documents were delivered. When Su Heting went to cook porridge just now, there was nothing in the room.

But obviously, Su Heting has influence in Liangzhou, and they can come and go freely in Liangzhou.

Seeing ginseng slices on the table, Qiao Xi made him a cup of tea and stood beside him to grind ink for him.

Su Heting was probably not afraid of her seeing his official business, so he didn't send her away, and Qiao Xi didn't hide her sight either.

She really has a lot to learn.

The two of them worked in silence until dusk fell.

"Your Highness, dinner is ready, but should it be brought here?"

The servant appeared at the door silently.

Qiao Xi had noticed long ago that there were no more than five servants in this house, but all of them were very skilled, including the cook in the kitchen, who walked with a light step.

Su Heting nodded lightly, and the servants quickly brought in the meal.

After the meal, Su Heting asked Qiao Xi to go and rest first. Although Qiao Xi regretted that she could no longer learn from him how to handle official documents, she was indeed sleepy.

The moment the door opened, she froze in place.

The servant who brought her here took a long time to react and hurriedly turned around to find Su Heting.

The room was filled with red gauze hanging from the ceiling, and there were colorful pictures of spring breeze hanging on the wall. There were many seasonal flowers on the table, and with the incense burning in the incense burner, the whole house was filled with fragrance.

Qiao Xi inexplicably thought of the brothel.

Walking inside after lifting the red gauze curtains, what comes into view is a wedding quilt covered with peanuts, longans and red dates.

On the bedside were two sets of bright red undergarments and a fun dice with six sides engraved with intimate actions.

The dice were larger than those in ordinary gambling houses. Qiao Xi picked them up and took a look. She had seen them in the room of a local leader in her previous life.

It was used by men and women to increase sexual interest at night. She was hiding in the closet at the time and witnessed the whole process of the leader and his concubine playing this. When the man was indulging in it, one of the needles pierced his heart.

The thick smell of blood mixed with the stench of desire made her stomach churn.

Qiao Xi put the dice back to its place. The workmanship of this one was not as fine as the one used by the chieftain of the vassal state, but the content inside was more daring than that one.

Clearing a spot on the bed to sit down, Qiao Xi peeled a longan, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, his eyes inevitably falling on the painting hanging opposite.

There is no disturbance in my heart.

When Su Heting arrived, he saw a woman sitting obediently on the edge of the bed with her hands clasped on her knees behind the hazy red gauze curtain.

Unlike the red that filled the room, she was dressed in plain white, and the gauze curtain was blown open by the wind, revealing the woman's calm face.

Not a trace of shame.

Su Heting walked up to her with a gloomy face and said, "Go out first. I'll have someone clean it up."

"Okay." Qiao Xi nodded and stood up.

Su Heting wanted to say that this was not what he prepared, but when he saw Qiao Xi walking out the door with an indifferent expression, he swallowed the words of explanation back into his stomach.

But the sudden noise under the bed made Qiao Xi pause. As Su Heting bent down to look under the bed, she also turned around.

A strong fragrance wafted from under the bed, and both of them covered their mouths and noses at the same time.

Shoushan crawled out from under the bed and walked to Qiao Xi, hanging his head like a child who had done something wrong. "Xibaoer, I crushed the fragrant dew I gave you."

He held the broken pieces of the porcelain bottle in his hands. There was still a lot of fragrant dew on his slightly bent palms. He pressed his fingers tightly together as if he was afraid that the dew would flow away.

Qiao Xi blinked slightly, "What did you call me?"

"Cherish treasure."

Shoushan tilted his head. "You're my granddaughter-in-law, so you're my relative. That's why I call you Xibaoer... Hey... why does Xibaoer seem so familiar to me?"

He thought about it, but couldn't come up with anything, so he gave up and asked Qiao Xi, "Don't you like me calling you that?"

"No, I love it."

That's what her family and the Crown Prince call her.

Qiao Xi smiled, "Do you know the Qiao family? Do you know my father, Qiao Zhenbei?"

She remembered Su Heting saying that he married her because his grandfather had a past relationship with the Qiao family.

The old man thought Xi Baoer was familiar with Xu because of this reason.

Qiao Xi longs for anyone or anything that has a good connection with the Qiao family.

Shoushan was confused again and asked blankly, "Should I know him?"

Su Heting, who was standing aside, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandfather, I'll take you back first."

He was reborn when his original body was poisoned and was in a coma for many days. The name he called the most in his daze was Xi Baoer.

When he woke up, he heard his grandfather asking him who Xibaoer was. His grandfather must have remembered it at that time, but fortunately he didn't remember it just now.

Shoushan felt that he had a mission to stay here. His eyes fell on the red curtain in the room, and the confusion in his eyes was gradually replaced by a gleam of light.

He placed the object in his hand on Qiao Xi's palm, then suddenly stretched out his arms and grinned at the two of them, "Are you surprised? Are you happy? Do you like it?"
