Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 280: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (7)

Su Xiaoxiao only felt a pain in her body as if it was torn apart. The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Empress! Empress, are you awake?" A familiar voice sounded in her ears, making her feel a little warm.

"Someone come! Someone come! The Queen is awake!"

This is her maid Xiao Cui, who has been by her side since she was a child and is the only person who is sincere to her.

She...isn’t dead?

"Xiao Cui...I was in a coma for how many days?" Su Xiaoxiao stood up, a little confused.

"My queen, you have been in a coma for three days. During this time, the Emperor came to see you, and the imperial physician... said that you had collapsed. Today... they are preparing to hold your funeral... Fortunately you woke up, you scared me to death!" When the little girl saw her master wake up, she cried heartbreakingly.

Su Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, and said softly: "I'm fine, Xiaocui, I just took a nap. You said you would hold a funeral for me?"

Xiao Cui wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, the imperial physician said that you cannot be saved. You will be buried with honor today. I guess... the emperor will be here soon."

Su Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes. She was reborn. Although the timing did not change, she survived after all. So she would have the opportunity to change the trajectory of her life step by step. She could get rid of all the people who framed her.

"I understand. Is there any movement in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"The master... hasn't taken any action. I heard that he wants to send the second young lady to the palace... to replace you." Xiao Cui looked at Su Xiaoxiao's expression and hesitated.

Su Xiaoxiao sneered: "You said... I am so pathetic that even death can't win the old man's sympathy. Forget it, I should have seen it clearly earlier."

"What did the emperor say? Did he let my second sister enter the palace?" Su Xiaoxiao took a sip of water and continued.

"The emperor said that the queen passed away. He was heartbroken and the whole country was in mourning for three days. This matter will be discussed later." Xiao Cui replied.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and thought about the plan in her mind.

If that old man dares to send Su Momo here, he will never see his precious daughter again.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to say something, a voice rang out:

"The Emperor has arrived..."

After a while, the man she had been thinking about appeared before her.

He still has bright eyes and white teeth, like the gentle breeze and elegant moon.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and when she thought of his annoyance with her, she changed her usual impatient and arrogant temper.

He stood up tremblingly and said, "We welcome the Emperor...May the Emperor be blessed."

Xuanyuan Wuhen saw this and walked over quickly, carefully helped the woman up, and said with concern: "The queen has just recovered from a serious illness, please get up quickly. I was really happy to hear that you woke up. Is there anything wrong with your health? Should I call the imperial physician?"

The man's words sounded full of concern, but only Su Xiaoxiao knew that what he cared about... was the power of their family and her influence on his throne.

Su Xiaoxiao felt bitter in her heart and spoke weakly, "Your Majesty, I am fine. I just woke up and need to rest. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and I dare not disturb you."

Xuanyuan Wuhen was a little stunned after hearing this.

In the past, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to stick to him and was impetuous and impatient. But after she fell seriously ill, she seemed like a completely different person.

"Xiaoxiao, I apologize to you for what happened last time. I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, but you broke my zither and accidentally hurt Concubine Shu, so I... have to give everyone an explanation." Xuanyuan Wuhen said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, do you also think that I intentionally hurt Concubine Shu?" Su Xiaoxiao thought of what happened that day and hatred rose in her heart.

Although she was a little arrogant, she knew the overall situation was important. That day, she just saw the emperor and the concubine getting too close and talking happily, and she was a little jealous. So she wanted to warn the concubine when the emperor left.

As a result, she said: "If you have time to seduce the emperor, you might as well think about state affairs."

The woman then acted as delicate as a flower. She took up her own hand and pretended to be serious, saying that the emperor would play the zither with her later. She also belittled her for having the title of queen in vain and being illiterate and simple-minded.

In a fit of anger, she pushed Concubine Shu.

But who knew that Concubine Shu had an extra knife in her hand, and the moment she fell to the ground, the handle of the knife flipped into her hand.

It was obvious that Concubine Shu stabbed herself, but when outsiders saw this scene, it became that she had a vicious mind and was framing the concubines.

Even more unfortunate was that this scene happened to be seen by the emperor, and there were also palace maids and eunuchs to testify. Her explanation was useless, and Concubine Shu had suffered heavy bleeding and was already unconscious.

She felt really wronged, and in a fit of anger, she smashed the emperor's zither.

She was banished to the cold palace, and she would never forget the triumphant look in Concubine Shu's eyes before she fainted.

It was like a constant reminder to her that she didn't deserve to win.

Oh, I didn’t die this time, Concubine Shu... must be very unhappy.

But it doesn’t matter, the one who dies next time will be... her.

Xuanyuan Wuhen said calmly: "I don't think the queen is an unreasonable person. Although the queen is a little spoiled, she also knows the importance of things."

"It's just... if I were to go along with you in that situation, I'm afraid it would be even more detrimental to the Queen."

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head. Although she felt sad, she became more determined.

Xuanyuan Wuhen didn't love her, so he only said compliments to her.

Before she was reborn, that is, in the world after her death, she had seen in her mind the way he loved Shi Qi.

Very clingy, very careful, and unconditionally protects and pampers her.

Love or not is actually very obvious.

But since she survived, she wanted Xuanyuan Wuhen to...love her.

Since her enthusiasm and flattery were not right, she would just be cold and distant, and then appear from time to time to win his heart.

"I dare not act rashly. I am just curious about your thoughts. Since there is nothing else to do, please leave. I want to sleep for a while."

Xuanyuan Wuhen was stunned. He didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao chased him away twice in such a short period of time.

This change is really... a little strange.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was indeed weak, Xuanyuan Wuhen did not stay long. He just told the maid to take good care of her and then went to deal with government affairs.

And Su Xiaoxiao also turned her first target... to Concubine Shu.

……

Nan'an Temple.

Shi Qi had just packed up the firewood and was walking towards the kitchen when he heard a few nuns passing by talking.

"Hey, did you hear? The queen died three days ago and came back to life again!"

"What? Real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. The Emperor even asked everyone in Nan'an Temple to pray for the Empress and ward off disasters."

"Ah? Then we will have to chant sutras and meditate for another ten days or half a month."

"Is that the point? That person was dead, dead for three days! He suddenly came back to life, don't you think it's horrible?"

"Could it be... Could it be that there are really unclean things in this world?"

"Hiss, now that you mention it, I do remember that there is a forbidden area in our temple. The nun doesn't allow anyone to go there. Some people say that there are some unclean things locked up there."

"Oh, I won't say any more. The more I talk, the more scared I get. I'd better go copy Buddhist books..."

Shi Qi listened attentively to the whispers of several people, blinked and sighed: "Su Xiaoxiao is reborn, are my 'good days' still far away?"

However, Su Xiaoxiao should deal with Concubine Shu first, so that she will have time to be on guard.

"Let's take a closer look at what Lu Ziqi is doing... uh." Shi Qi said, turned around, and ran into a wall of people.

"What's the matter? Is the young master looking for me?" The man's clear voice came, and Shi Qi subconsciously stepped back and squeezed his buttocks.

An awkward smile: "Haha, it's okay, it's just that it's time for dinner, so I came to make dinner and visit you and Xiaojiu..."

Lu Ziqi smiled: "Little Master is so cute, Xiao Jiu has been waiting for you for a long time. I wonder...Is it possible for me to have a taste of Little Master's food today?"

The man smiled elegantly, and Shi Qi looked terrified.

Really cute?

Is it because her heart is so cute?

She is an ordinary human being, so she is really afraid...

But...if she could get along well with Lu Ziqi now, wouldn't she...not die?

Thinking of this, Shi Qi bravely smiled and offered his courtesy: "Of course no problem, I'll make whatever you want to eat, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Really? Thank you so much, Master."
