Chapter 157: Comeback

Bei Liangye bowed and replied: "After handling the memorials for the past two days, I found that the position of emperor is indeed difficult to achieve. I also realized the hard work my father had to do on a daily basis, so I thought of coming to see my father."

"I am really pleased that the prince understands my difficulties so much."

Although there were words of relief on his lips, there was no expression of relief on the emperor's face at all, as if what the two of them said were insignificant words.

Bei Liangye just pretended not to see it and continued: "My son, I really feel sorry for your body, father, so I sent someone to find the best tonic. I hope your dragon body will get better as soon as possible."

"Oh? Does it mean that the prince no longer wants to monitor the country?" the emperor asked suspiciously.

"It's natural for me to be able to take care of my father's worries, but I hope my father can get well as soon as possible and return to the court." Bei Liangye's attitude was sincere and his words came from the bottom of his heart.

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at his face for a long time, and said: "Sooner or later, the prince will take my position. Don't you want to be familiar with these businesses earlier?"

"I don't dare. I just hope that I can assist my father. As for the throne, I know that I am far behind my father and am far from qualified."

Bei Liangye straightened his back and faced the emperor with a calm expression. Even if the emperor wanted to find any flaws in his face, there was nothing he could do.

"Let's discuss this later. I'm tired too. If there's nothing else, the prince will have to go to court tomorrow, so go back and rest early."

Bei Liangye had already said what he wanted to say, and there was no need to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left. But he didn't know whether his words just now had any effect on the emperor's heart.

Since the Xiao family was condemned, they went to the palace to see the emperor almost every now and then. Especially during this period, when they learned that the emperor was in poor health, the Xiao family went all out to please him.

"Your Majesty, this is a famous medicine that I specially found from famous doctors in the Western Regions. I heard that after taking it, all kinds of diseases can be cured and longevity can be prolonged."

Mr. Xiao held the box of medicinal materials in both hands and knelt in front of the emperor's bed.

"Master Xiao is really thoughtful."

The little eunuch beside the emperor immediately took the box of medicinal materials and helped the emperor up.

"Your Majesty, this is what Wei Chen should do. Before, Wei Chen was confused and did something that made His Majesty angry. Wei Chen is really ashamed."

Mr. Xiao was almost in tears, shaking his head and beating the ground in annoyance.

After all, the Xiao family is a big family. It has a deep foundation in the imperial court, and its position is naturally very important. If something happens to the Xiao family, it will probably be widely involved, and it will not be of any benefit to the imperial court.

Therefore, from the beginning, the emperor did not really want to touch the Xiao family. He just wanted to use this incident to sharpen the edges of the Xiao family and let him learn a lesson so that he could act more appropriately in the future.

"Xiao Aiqing has been an official in the court for so many years, and nothing like this has ever happened. I believe you are temporarily confused."

Before the emperor could finish what he said, Mr. Xiao immediately kowtowed heavily and said: "Your Majesty, I am wise. I was indeed confused for a moment. I was bewitched by the foreign princess. I will definitely stay awake in the future and will not do it again."

Same mistake."

Now that the foreign princess is no longer in Dachen, she doesn't want to let him say whatever she wants. Besides, it is true that the foreign princess has different intentions.

After he finished speaking, the emperor continued: "However, this mistake is a mistake after all. If I know that the officials have made mistakes and do not punish them, how will I win the hearts of the people in the future? Don't you think so, Mr. Xiao?"

Mr. Xiao was slightly stunned. Did the emperor intend to forgive himself or not?

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are right." He could only agree respectfully.

"But don't worry, Mr. Xiao. I know it well and know that Mr. Xiao is still loyal to the imperial court." The emperor's expression was much softer than before, and he seemed to have forgiven Mr. Xiao.

Mr. Xiao was overjoyed and quickly thanked you: "Your Majesty is wise, thank you for your trust in me. I will definitely not let you down again in the future."

The emperor exchanged a few more pleasantries, just to make Mr. Xiao remember it well and not make any mistakes in the future. Then he kicked Mr. Xiao out on the grounds of physical discomfort.

However, there was never any mention of restoring Mr. Xiao to his official position.

Mr. Xiao did not leave the palace directly after coming out of the emperor's presence, but quietly went to the East Palace.

"Why did father come here suddenly?"

Xiao Luxi looked nervous when she saw Mr. Xiao. She had been subjected to a lot of glares and rumors in the palace recently because of the Xiao family's affairs. If Mr. Xiao was seen coming to her, there would be a lot of gossip. If Mr. Xiao was seen by Bei Liangye,

See, that would be even more troublesome.

Mr. Xiao, however, was much calmer and said, "Daughter, don't worry. My father has just returned from the Emperor, and the Emperor has put me in a position of importance again. You don't have to look at people's faces in the palace anymore."

"Is it true?" Xiao Luxi was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Father has been reinstated?"

"This..." Mr. Xiao looked slightly stunned and said: "That's not true, but the emperor has already said that he will no longer blame my father, and also said many words to comfort me. Although I have not restored my position yet, but this

It's all a matter of time."

Mr. Xiao is very confident. With his current power, even if the emperor does not want to restore his official position, he will have a way to make the emperor do so. This is just a matter of one step earlier and one step later. What he has to do now is to collect some information first.

Take advantage of the Xiao family and wait for this matter to calm down.

He told Xiao Luxi these thoughts and asked her to calm down in the palace in the future and stop doing things that would make others take advantage of her.

Xiao Luxi is a woman who is very good at hiding her edge. She did this when she first arrived in the East Palace. Now she is just going back to her old self.

"I know father, my daughter will remember your words firmly and will not trouble you anymore."

Although this incident had an impact on the Xiao family, Xiao Luxi also learned a lesson from it. She will definitely be more careful in the future, especially when it comes to dealing with Ruan Wanwan, and will not fall into their trap so easily again.

It's a trap.

She believed that with her father's ability, the Xiao family would soon make a comeback. By then, it would not be too late for her to come out and settle accounts with those who persecuted her and the Xiao family.

So, from this day on, Xiao Luxi began to eat and chant Buddha in his own yard. He never left the front door and was polite when meeting Beiliangye and the other concubines of the East Palace.

Although Ruan Wanwan felt strange when she saw this, she thought that the Xiao family had been demoted and she expected that she would not be able to make any big waves anymore, so she didn't think much about it.
