Chapter 657: Different Directions, Efforts in Vain
Because of the Empress Dowager's questioning on the spot, Xiao Wenxuan's back was covered with sweat and his underwear was wet.
"In the court today, the Grand Empress Dowager not only humiliated me without any scruples, but also cleverly resolved the issue of the Royal Company! I have really lost all my face today."
Chang Ru felt very distressed when she heard this, and she gently hugged Xiao Wenxuan from behind.
"Your Majesty, given the current situation, you have to suffer some grievances. But this is only temporary. I believe that one day the clouds will clear and the moon will appear." Chang Ru comforted softly.
Xiao Wenxuan's expression did not relax at all, and he did not say anything. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, in fact, we are not without gain today. The profits of the Royal Company fell into the hands of the Grand Princess and the Grand Empress Dowager, which is even more disadvantageous to us. It is best to put them into the national treasury. In the future, when Your Majesty gains power, the money can be used by Your Majesty and used in various aspects according to Your Majesty's wishes."
"Getting power? How easy is that! I don't have military power, so I can never compete with the Grand Empress Dowager! I heard that the Grand Empress Dowager has already contacted those generals who originally held military power, but I don't even have the chance to get in touch with them. The only person I can get close to is your father."
Xiao Wenxuan didn't want Chang Ru to do anything else. In his opinion, it was all meaningless.
What he wanted was for Chang Ru to get her father's support as soon as possible.
He thought Chang Ru understood his thoughts.
It’s not that Chang Ru doesn’t want to, but she has to wait for the opportunity.
Now, the opportunity is not ripe yet.
Isn't it equally important to take the money from the Princess Taichang first?
"Chang Ru, can you contact your father now?"
Chang Ru's heart sank for a moment, but she squatted in front of Xiao Wenxuan with understanding, "Your Majesty, I know you are very tormented in your heart, but you have to believe in me. I will definitely find a way to make my father stand on your side. However, this matter not only requires time, but also an opportunity."
"What opportunity?" Xiao Wenxuan asked immediately.
"A chance for my father to completely give up on the Grand Princess. Otherwise, I will never stand a chance against the Grand Princess."
Xiao Wenxuan looked at Chang Ru's sincere expression and his heart softened a little.
He slowly raised his hand and stroked Chang Ru's cheek.
"Chang Ru, I believe in you, and you are the only one I can trust."
Chang Ru's expression finally relaxed, and she held Xiao Wenxuan's hand tightly, "Your Majesty, I also love you wholeheartedly, and we are husband and wife as one."
Xiao Wenxuan hugged Chang Ru tightly in his arms.
Su Su stood in the dark, looking at the two of them.
She has been with Xiao Wenxuan since she was a child and knows him best.
He just told Chang Ru that she was the person he trusted the most.
In fact, his real thoughts were that he doubted her and he did not believe her.
How could Chang Ru, such a smart woman, be fooled around by a man? Could it be that falling in love with someone would really turn out like this?
Like losing yourself?
Chang Ru is destined not to become someone like the Crown Prince's wife.
And she will not get Xiao Wenxuan's wholehearted love.
It's time for her to take action.
late at night.
Xiao Wenxuan was full of thoughts. After spending the evening with Chang Ru, he couldn't fall asleep, so he got up and went for a walk in the yard alone.
Suddenly, a familiar figure walked by in the distance.
"SuSu!" Xiao Wenxuan called out immediately.
When Su Su heard his call, she immediately quickened her pace.
As if she was deliberately avoiding him.
"SuSu!" Xiao Wenxuan's voice became louder, but still failed to stop SuSu.
He simply quickened his pace and chased after him.
Susu turned into her own yard, immediately entered the room and closed the door.
Xiao Wenxuan was very annoyed and stood outside the door.
"Come out! When did you become so arrogant that you even dare to disobey your master."
Su Su slowly opened the door and immediately knelt in front of Xiao Wenxuan, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong."
"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't have gone out in the middle of the night. I should have stayed in my own courtyard. I shouldn't have met the emperor."
Xiao Wenxuan became even more depressed, and he suddenly realized a problem: this girl who had been serving him since she was a child had not appeared in front of him for a long time.
Su Su was chosen for him by his mother herself. Just like when he was driven out of the palace, Su Su stayed by his side and never left him.
He would never have any doubts about Susu?
However, in his heart, Susu was just a servant, nothing more.
"Is it Chang Ru who doesn't let you see me?" he couldn't help but ask.
"No, that's not it. Empress Chang has never stopped me from seeing the Emperor. Empress Chang also said that she would give me an identity in the future. It's because I'm afraid that my appearance will affect the relationship between Empress Chang and the Emperor. After all, the Emperor and Empress Chang love each other and are newlyweds. It's better for me not to show up. Anyway, I'm the Emperor's person in life and his ghost in death. I can see the Emperor in the future, so I don't care about these days." Susu said very sincerely.
"So that's how it is." Xiao Wenxuan did not leave, but went into Susu's room.
A familiar fragrance wafted over him, and he suddenly missed Susu's tenderness.
"smell good."
"Your Majesty, this incense was given to me by you as a reward." Susu walked to the emperor's table, flicked the wick, and the candlelight in the room became brighter.
Under the candlelight, the beauty seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, making her even more attractive.
What's more, the beauty was only wearing a layer of gauze, and her exquisite curves were faintly visible.
"Where are you going dressed like this in the middle of the night?" Xiao Wenxuan's voice was a little hoarse.
Su Su's cheeks immediately turned red, and she raised her hands to hug her body, "I feel too hot, so I'll go to the pavilion over there to get some fresh air. I won't meet anyone, so I'll wear some light clothes."
Xiao Wenxuan stretched out his hand and pulled her over. "Don't you know how many guards patrol the palace at night? If someone sees you like this, how can I forgive you!"
Susu was suddenly frightened, her little face full of fear, and her eyes became wet in an instant.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong! If anyone saw me like this, I would definitely hit my head and die!"
"I won't let you die! You must have forgotten that you are my first woman, and you were taught by Nanny, but you are still so stupid. Don't you understand now?"
Susu felt the heat from his palm, and her body began to tremble like a sieve.
She was taught by the nanny how to serve Xiao Wenxuan.
Especially Xiao Wenxuan, who was tasting meat for the first time.
However, that was only the teaching in the palace.
What she learned was the teaching method outside the palace arranged by Chao Sihai.
