Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 178 The decree has arrived!
"No visitors?" Funo Zhaoxiu frowned slightly, she naturally knew his rules, every time on his birthday, the Duke's Mansion was unusually quiet and deserted, although there were still some officials who wanted to win him over and even the forces of the rivers and lakes He keeps giving gifts, but he has never met anyone in person, and Su Xiao has full authority to handle them.

The only difference is that his gifts are always thrown out of the Duke's mansion in the early hours of the morning.

Even if she sent it in someone else's name, he would still find out.

But this year is different. This year's Duke's Mansion is not as deserted and quiet as in previous years. Uncharacteristically, although everyone's face is indifferent, they can see a trace of depression from their eyes. She knows better than anyone what this joy is for.

What made her most incomprehensible was that rare fireworks rose above the Duke's Mansion tonight, no, it should be said to be a feast of fireworks!
Such excitement, such joy, even Su Xiao in front of him was full of smiles, but when he saw him, the smile suddenly turned into indifference.

Su Xiao nodded, "Yes, the Duke has already ordered, and he will not see anyone today."

"Heh." Funo Zhao's heart ached, this was even more difficult for her to accept than seeing him hate herself and throwing the things she gave out of the house before.

In the past, he treated her like a stranger, but at least at that time no one could be an exception in his mind.

But now?

And who was the woman who got his exception?

"Su Xiao, should Xuan Luo be inside?" Funo Zhao said coldly, his cold eyes fixed on Su Xiao's.

Su Xiao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Funo Akira's news to be so effective.

In fact, both Xuan Luo and Huang Fu Yao specially blocked and hid the news that she was here, even if Fu Ye Zhao had more eyeliner, they would not know about it, but Su Xiao forgot one of the most direct and clear reasons, that is a woman's intuition.

Akira Funo only guessed that Xuan Luo was in the Duke's Mansion based on a woman's intuition.

Seeing Su Xiao's expression like this, she didn't need to ask any more.

"If he didn't see everyone, I might understand it better. After all, the father was sorry for him and my aunt back then, but now, he is laughing with another woman, talking, and shutting me out... ···”

With a cold smile on Akira Funo's face, he suddenly raised the small bundle in his hand, and a cold and decisive light flashed in his beautiful eyes.

"Su Xiao, you said that I am so persistent, is it right or wrong?" She sneered, not expecting Su Xiao to answer herself.

And Su Xiao did not answer her, just quietly looked at her face that was almost ferocious but still maintained a dignified appearance.

However, Akira Funo's next action made Su Xiao, who had always been calm, widen his eyes.

Because Akira Funo took out a dagger from his bosom, and then swiped left and right at the thing in her hand that was regarded as a treasure before. The dagger with internal force instantly turned the burden in her hand into pieces.

"Princess." A man behind her suddenly made a voice, a little hoarse, but he could hear his tone of confusion and worry.

Su Xiao looked at Akira Funo's calm and unfamiliar expression, and didn't know what to say.

Akira Funo threw the fabric in his hands lightly, as if the shattered pieces were not the pajamas she made for him, but her persistent and battered heart.

"Go and tell Brother Yao, if I, Funo Zhao, can't get it, no one can get it!" Every word and every word contained an extremely stern and ruthless killing intent.

Su Xiao's expression was slightly concentrated, staring closely at Akira Funo's eyes, and Akira Funo was also looking back at him, there was no emotion in those eyes.

After being silent for a while, Su Xiao looked away, and said lightly: "Princess Zhaoyang, don't worry, Su Xiao will definitely bring the original words."

"Thank you very much." Akira Funo sneered and led the people away.

No one knew that her hand hidden in the sleeve was already covered with blood, but this pain was not as good as the pain in her heart.

No one knows what kind of disaster such a small episode tonight will cause...

Xuan Luo left very early, saying that there was something urgent to do, and of course, before leaving, he took away the person who lived in the chaifang of the Duke's Mansion.

Huangfu Yao had a rare good sleep today, even with a faint smile on his lips.

Looking at Huangfu Yao like this, of course Su Xiao didn't dare to say what Funo Akira said, at least not yet, it's rare for the Duke to be in such a good mood, how could he be so ignorant?
At noon, a mighty group of people came to the Duke's Mansion. Huangfu Yao also did not meet them, but Su Xiaoke was very happy to meet them, because these people were not some dignitaries who came to congratulate the Duke's birthday. , nor is it the unlucky ghost who came to trouble the Duke, but the people in the palace.

People headed by Zhang Run, the emperor's most valued celebrity.

"Butler Su, where is Ding Guogong? Why hasn't he come out to receive the order?" Zhang Run held a respectful smile, and when Huangfu Yao was mentioned, his eyes flickered a few times.

Su Xiao pretended not to see it, coughed twice, and then confessed: "Back to Eunuch, our Duke was very tired last night, and he hasn't gotten up until now. I'm afraid this edict will not be accepted for a while. I don't know the emperor. What is the purpose of issuing the imperial decree at this time?"

Su Xiao obviously asked this question on purpose. His sharp eyes had already seen the gift boxes and big boxes carried by the people behind Zhang Run. It seemed a bit hypocritical to ask this question now.

Zhang Run is a person next to Taba Rui, so he naturally knows who the second in command of the Duke's Mansion is, so he is not angry with Su Xiao's knowingly asking, but patiently explained: "This is all a reward from His Majesty. It's Duke Ding's birthday, when His Majesty heard about it, he sent people to the treasury and took out all these treasures, saying that he would give them to Duke Ding."

"Oh? Why did Your Majesty suddenly think of rewarding my Duke?" Su Xiao pretended to be surprised.

Who doesn't know that she only went back in the middle of the night last night, but today the reward has arrived at the Duke's Mansion. Could it be that these are all calculated?

In order to repay the Duke's life-saving grace, His Majesty worked so hard?
Looking at the piles of royal treasures, Su Xiao's heart blossomed with joy.

"Mr. Dingguo helped His Majesty pass the congratulatory ceremony in peace, and then he wholeheartedly relieved His Majesty's worries. Naturally, His Majesty would not treat him badly. No, I just found out that Dingguo's birthday is on the [-]th day of the eighth month, so I hurried Then call the miscellaneous family over, let the miscellaneous family choose a few good ones for Duke Ding."

As he said that, Zhang Run suddenly thought of something, and leaned into Su Xiao's ear and said, "There are still some that the empress personally picked out. It's also very strange to say that the miscellaneous family is also very strange. Why does the empress suddenly care about Dingguo?" Your Majesty is here? Perhaps, it’s just for His Majesty’s worries.”

Su Xiao's eyes flickered, he laughed and said: "That's exactly the case, then this imperial decree..."

He looked at Zhang Run in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Run understood, and said with a smile: "Butler Su, don't worry, His Majesty knows that Ding Guogong is unwell, so he specially waived the rule of letting him receive the decree in person, and only let the miscellaneous family read the imperial decree and leave things behind."

The satisfaction in Su Xiao's heart, I didn't expect Miss Xuanluo to know the Duke so well.

Well, she really is a caring woman.

However, just halfway through his sighs, he suddenly remembered Xuan Luo's other identity, couldn't help suppressing the smile in his eyes, and said seriously: "Then Su Xiao will accept the order on behalf of my father."

"En." Zhang Run nodded, then went to the little eunuch behind him to fetch the imperial decree, opened it, and began to read it.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor issued an edict saying: Dingguo Duke Fuyao is the pillar of the Great Yan Kingdom. He is full of talent and wisdom. Wanliang, 20 pieces of beautiful jade, 23 hectares of land, 23 pieces of silk and satin, 23 pieces of antiques, 23 pieces of calligraphy and painting, 23 altars of fine wine, and 23 beauties. Special: Duke Dingguo has kidney deficiency and is weak, and he is not allowed to go out recently, so he still stays in the mansion Take care of your illness."
