Su Qiao did not sleep all night. He drew a few rough drawings and then sat cross-legged on the bed to practice.
If you want to run away, you can't do it without poor martial arts skills.
Before daybreak, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, it's time to get up. It's almost Mao time."
Bi Qiu covered her mouth and yawned, then continued to knock on the door: "Master, it will be too late if you don't get up now."
There was no movement in the house, and the two servants became a little anxious.
"Prince, today is your first day on duty, so you must not be late."
"Sir, the court session starts at 5 a.m., so please make sure you don't miss the time."
Su Qiao was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just lay down on the bed, hugged the pillow and fell asleep.
His son had made a great appearance in front of the emperor, and Lord Su was so excited that he could not sleep all night. At 3 a.m., he got himself ready and sat in the hall in the front yard waiting.
Seeing that his son had not come out for a long time, he hurried over.
"Qiao'er, get up quickly. It's almost dawn. You have to get up and pack up. The emperor values you so much. You can't let him down."
"I'm so annoyed. It's not even daybreak yet. Why are you shouting?"
Su Qiao had just finished practicing and was feeling a little sleepy, but he didn't expect them to keep arguing. He could only yawn and open the door.
"Qiao'er, today is your first day on duty, how can you be so lazy?"
Lord Su looked very disappointed.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Su Qiao yawned again and again, wiped the saline solution from the corners of her eyes, turned around, picked up a sandalwood box from the table, and stuffed it into her father's hands:
"Father, please send someone to give this box to the emperor and tell him that I have been studying all night and have exhausted my energy. I am now exhausted and cannot go on duty today."
Lord Su was anxious: "How can this be possible? Qiao'er, the emperor is so kind to you, even if you crawl..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Qiao had already fallen into Bi Qiu's arms.
"Master!" Bi Qiu anxiously supported her: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Su Qiao slowly opened her eyes and shook her head weakly:
"I'm fine, I just feel a little dizzy and my chest feels a little stuffy. I should be fine after I lie down and rest."
I can't even climb now, so I should stop going now, right
Seeing that Su Qiao was weak and listless, Bi Qiu hurriedly called Xiao Wu to help him onto the bed.
Then he said to Lord Su with a look of heartache:
"My Lord, the young master has been in poor health to begin with, and he studied late last night, and now he is exhausted and fainted. Can you ask the emperor for a leave?"
“This… this…” Lord Su didn’t dare to stroke the emperor’s beard.
But my son is in this condition now, and it is not convenient for him to meet the emperor.
It would have an even worse impact if I fainted in class.
"Okay, then you should rest well at home. I... I will help you to confess your crime to the emperor."
As for sending someone to deliver it, he absolutely did not dare to do so.
Lord Su held the box, but did not dare to open it and went to the palace trembling with fear.
Facing the emperor's gloomy and unpredictable gaze, Lord Su felt his scalp tingling and his legs trembling.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's really... it's really because my son is too weak to... can't come in person to receive Your Majesty's grace."
Long Jingyuan's face turned black, and he laughed out of anger: "Oh, you gave birth to a good son."
He is so brave. Yesterday, he used both soft and hard tactics and personally told me to see him today, but he still dared to disobey his order.
Eunuch Quan shrank his neck and stood behind without daring to say a word.
But in his heart he cursed Su Qiao.
The brighter the emperor smiled, the angrier he was.
This time I was really annoyed.
