After coaxing the three little fellows to sleep, Su Xiaoxiao went to the next room.
“Wei Ting, Dahu and the others are so strange today.”
Wei Ting said calmly, “What’s strange? They’ve just grown up. They said that you don’t have to bathe them in the future. They’re big children.”
“Is that so?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at him skeptically. Didn’t his conscience hurt from scheming against three-year-old children?
“How’s the medical center?” Wei Ting immediately changed the topic.
Su Xiaoxiao sat down opposite him. “Is there anything I can’t do? Just wait. There will definitely be a big show in at least three days!”
Su Cheng’s voice came from the courtyard. “Daughter, we’re almost out of lamp oil at home. I’ll go out and buy some lamp oil!”
Su Xiaoxiao stood up and said, “Dad, I’ll go buy it!”
Wei Ting indicated that he would go too. Su Cheng thought for a moment and let the couple go.
The lamp oil shop on Scholar Street was closed. The other lamp oil shop was a little far away.
Su Cheng had been training hard recently. Su Xiaoxiao was glad that she and Wei Ting had come out to buy it.
Halfway there, a carriage came up to them.
Perhaps remembering the accident just now, the two of them subconsciously looked at the carriage.
There was a masked woman sitting in the car.
Wei Ting was not interested in strange women, but Su Xiaoxiao took a few more glances.
“No way… She ran out again?”
“You know that person?” Wei Ting asked.
The carriage had already brushed past and turned into another street.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and didn’t answer Wei Ting immediately.
Instead, she asked, “Do you know why Prince Nanyang rebelled back then?”
Wei Ting said, “To take back the throne.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Then, have you… heard of the rumors about Prince Nanyang and the Grand Empress Dowager?”
Wei Ting said, “To take back the throne.”
“My master, Physician Fu, is Imperial Physician Fu’s son. Back then, something happened to Imperial Physician Fu because he diagnosed a happy pulse in Zhaoyang Hall. ”
Wei Ting did not know about this.
Wei Ting frowned slightly. “Happy pulse? Prince Nanyang’s flesh and blood?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “If it’s the Grand Empress Dowager’s happy pulse, it can only be Prince Nanyang’s.”
Wei Ting pondered for a moment. “Could the person in the carriage just now be the Grand Empress Dowager?”
Er… did he connect the dots so quickly?
How dare he make such a bold guess?
As expected of her husband!
The couple exchanged a look.
Wei Ting said, “Lamp oil…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll buy it next time!”
Wei Ting used his movement technique and chased after the carriage with Su Xiaoxiao.
The last time Bai Xihe said that she left the palace to look for her brother, Su Xiaoxiao was a little suspicious. However, she didn’t pursue the matter in front of Princess Jingning.
This time, she could finally figure out who made her risk her life time and time again to leave the palace.
Wei Ting landed on a roof with Su Xiaoxiao. “They seem to have realized that they were followed and are taking a detour.”
Su Xiaoxiao bent down.
The two of them lay dormant on the roof for a long time. They drove southeast after feeling safe.
Wei Ting learned his lesson and followed from afar.
The carriage stopped in front of a house.
Bai Xihe alighted from the carriage wearing a cloak.
The courtyard door opened from inside, and Bai Xihe walked in.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Su Cheng had appeared!
Speaking of which, his appearance was also a coincidence.
There was originally only half a pot of lamp oil left at home. It was fine and should last until tomorrow morning, but he accidentally spilled it.
His daughter and son-in-law had not returned after so long. They had most likely gone gallivanting…
It was only right for the young couple to date more. It would be worrying if they didn’t.
He instructed Su Ergou to keep an eye on the children and come out to buy lamp oil.
He took a shortcut and happened to bump into her.
Bai Xihe’s two coachmen were the two guards he had knocked out last time.
The two of them secretly followed Bai Xihe and were taught a lesson as lechers.
This time, seeing the two of them appear with Bai Xihe, logically speaking, he should reconsider their relationship.
However, Su Cheng’s thinking was different from ordinary people.
“I didn’t teach you enough last time, but you came again! Madam Bai, don’t be afraid!”
Su Cheng jumped up and threw a punch at the two of them!
These two were not Su Cheng’s match, but someone was.
In the courtyard, a shadow flashed out with a powerful and terrifying aura and struck Su Cheng’s face!
Bai Xihe immediately said, “Stop!”
It was too late.
The other party’s technique was too fast and could not be stopped.
If this palm landed on Su Cheng, it would definitely break all the meridians in his body.
Wei Ting flew down and met the other party’s attack with a palm!
The two guards vomited blood from the shockwaves.
Wei Ting immediately pulled Su Cheng back while the expert protected Bai Xihe with his body.
Su Cheng broke out in a cold sweat.
He looked at the guard who had vomited blood from the aftershock of the internal force and clicked his tongue. “Wow, so terrifying. Son-in-law, are you alright?”
Wei Ting shook his head. “I’m fine.”
The expert was about to attack Wei Ting again when Bai Xihe said coldly, “Biwu, stand down!”
The black-clothed expert silently retreated to Bai Xihe’s side.
Bai Xihe looked at Wei Ting and then at Su Cheng as a complicated and surprised expression flashed across her eyes.
But soon, she calmed down.
She said calmly, “Son-in-law?”
Su Cheng introduced, “That’s right, Madam Bai. He’s my son-in-law. That man in black is your guard. It’s a false alarm!”
Su Xiaoxiao held her forehead and sighed. This was not a false alarm. It was a large-scale exposure scene!
Fifteen minutes later, Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting, and Bai Xihe sat in the central room of this courtyard.
Su Cheng was not around. He had gone to the courtyard to spar with Bi Wu.
He was a little indignant.
.That’s what happened. We got married in the countryside.” Su Xiaoxiao told him about her relationship with Wei Ting.
After all, at this point, if she said that she had nothing to do with Wei Ting, she would be treating Bai Xihe as a fool.
Bai Xihe paused. “So Consort Xian didn’t make a false report in regard to Wei
Ting the other day.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s not like you don’t care about anything else in the harem.”
Bai Xihe said calmly, “If I really didn’t care about anything outside, I would have died countless times.”
“True.
The palace was a ruthless place. Simple people could not survive.
The exception would be those with backing, such as Princess Hui An.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her steadily. “What about you? What’s your relationship with the owner of this house? That child is only 14 years old. It’s impossible for him to be your brother.”
There was no need to worry that the other party would betray her.
There was a 14-year-old youth living here. He looked a little similar to Bai Xihe.
Bai Xihe was silent.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “With all due respect, 15 years ago, Zhaoyang Hall had a good pulse. This child’s age happened to match.”
Bai Xihe’s pupils dilated.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Grand Empress Dowager, was that child Prince Nanyang’s back then?”
Bai Xihe clenched her fists under her wide sleeves.
She said.
“Whose is it?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
A conflicted look flashed across Bai Xihe’s eyes..
