Xiaosi sucked back the snot from his nose hard, wiped away his tears, and raised his face.
"Xiaosi will never embarrass the emperor."
"Good boy." Sujin smiled and touched his head, opened the food box and took out a plate of pastries: "Do you like it? This is for the emperor, but if you like it, I'll give it to you."
"I like it, thank you Aunt Sujin."
Xiaosi burst into laughter immediately, took the snack, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
After all, he still has the heart of a child. When he saw this snack in the study, he secretly swallowed his saliva. In normal times, Mo Chuan would definitely reward him with a few pieces, but in front of Queen Mother Zhou, he could not break this rule. .
"It's delicious, really delicious! Aunt Su Jin, your cooking skills are really good."
Xiaosi was so happy that he was smiling, praising and squinting his eyes.
Sujin smiled and saw how sweet he was eating, and seemed to say inadvertently:
"Xiao Si, did the Emperor receive a letter from Fei Ge today?"
"Yes." Xiaosi nodded vaguely with his mouth full of snacks.
"Is it the news from Zhuifeng?" Sujin asked again casually.
"Yeah." Xiao Si hummed unsuspectingly.
"About the Queen?" Sujin continued to remain calm.
"Ah? Auntie, how do you know?"
Xiao Si opened his mouth suddenly, and the snack in his mouth got stuck in his throat before he could swallow it.
After the words were spoken, he came to his senses and hurriedly shook his head in denial.
"No, no, it has nothing to do with the Queen, not at all." He impatiently wanted to explain, but the snack stuck in his throat made him almost cry.
He swallowed hard, finally swallowed the snack in his mouth, and grabbed Sujin's sleeve.
"Okay, Aunt Sujin, you did it on purpose!"
"What did I do on purpose?" Sujin looked at him and blinked, with an innocent look on her face.
"You... you deliberately tricked me!" Xiao Si shouted angrily.
"Hmph, you are the only one who wants to keep a secret in front of me, you are too young." Su Jin suddenly smiled and pulled away his hand that was holding her sleeve, "Tell me, what news has the Queen heard? ?”
She was more attentive than the Empress Dowager Zhou. As soon as she entered the imperial study, she noticed that Mo Chuan was holding a letter in his hand, and there was a small bamboo tube on the imperial desk.
Obviously, before Mrs. Zhou came home, Mo Chuan had just received a letter from Fei Ge and was reading the letter and talking to Xiaosi about the things in the letter.
As soon as Empress Dowager Zhou came in, Mo Chuan almost immediately put the letter on the desk without leaving a trace, and quickly took out a memorial to hold it down.
Queen Mother Zhou didn't pay attention to this action, but Su Jin saw it and was even more moved in her heart.
The emperor clearly wanted to conceal the contents of the letter from the Queen Mother, but he could tell Xiao Si that the contents of the letter were already revealed.
"Well... Aunt Sujin, please don't embarrass me. I really don't know anything!"
Xiao Si said with a grimace, his mouth stretched almost to the back of his head.
He moved quietly, wanting to leave here to avoid being pressed by Su Jin any longer. He was afraid that he would not be able to keep the emperor's secret.
"Want to leave?"
Sujin grabbed Xiaosi's wrist and half-smiled: "You can't go anywhere until you tell me clearly. If you don't tell me, I will tell the Queen Mother what you revealed to me. What will be the consequences of telling the Queen Mother? Don't you know better?"
