Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Guo Huan’s gaze was not on Zheng Yunrou, but on Princess Hui An.
Of course, it was only for a moment before Guo Huan retracted his gaze and bowed elegantly to everyone.
“The two princesses are here too.” Guo Huan smiled warmly. “It’s been a long time since we last met. I wonder if the two princesses are well?”
Princess Hui An didn’t speak to him.
She did not notice Guo Huan. In the past, she was looking at Wei Ting, but now…
Princess Jingning said, “Not bad. Why didn’t my second brother come back with Young Master Guo?”
Guo Huan smiled helplessly. “Lingxi writes to me every other day and urges me to return to the capital quickly. I have no choice but to leave the imperial court’s team and go on my way first. However, counting the days, His Second Highness is almost here.”
Princess Jingning asked, “Is my second brother alright?”
Guo Huan nodded and said gently, “His Second Highness is fine, but he misses His Majesty and the two princesses very much.”
“Aiya!”
Princess Hui An suddenly called out.
It turned out that a little boy by the roadside had accidentally bumped into her. The little boy was about two or three years old. He was thin and his clothes
were patched.
The little boy sat on the ground and looked at her blankly.
Soon, a woman walked over and picked up the little boy. She apologized to
Princess Hui An repeatedly. “Miss, I’m sorry…”
Seeing that the other party was just a child, Princess Hui An didn’t mind and said, “It’s fine. Leave.”
“Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!”
The woman quickly carried the child and left.
Princess Hui An looked at her dirty skirt and sighed bitterly.
This was her favorite dress…
Guo Huan looked at Princess Hui An and then at the little boy who was carried away. He slowly touched the jade ring on his left thumb.
“Cousin, cousin!”
Guo Huan regained his senses and looked up with a smile. “I was thinking about something just now and was in a daze.”
Wei Ting said, “They’ve already left. Let’s find a place to catch up.”
Guo Huan smiled. “Ah, I suddenly remember that there’s something else in the residence. I’ll catch up with Cousin another day.”
Wei Ting looked regretful. “In that case, I’ll send Cousin back to the residence.”
“No need, I’ll go back myself.” Guo Huan rejected politely.
“I’ll send Cousin off,” Wei Ting insisted.
The two men looked at each other steadily. One had a deep gaze and one was intriguing.
Guo Huan shook his head and smiled. “In that case, thank you, Cousin.”
Fu Su drove the carriage over.
Wei Ting gestured. “Cousin, please.”
The two of them got into the carriage.
“Let’s go,” Wei Ting said to Fu Su.
The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely strange.
Wei Ting looked at him arrogantly and coldly.
Guo Huan seemed to ignore Wei Ting’s provocation. He chuckled and asked gently, “Why did Cousin come to Full Moon Pavilion today?”
Wei Ting smiled faintly. “Cousin, why do you think I’m here?”
Guo Huan met Wei Ting’s sharp gaze without dodging. “It can’t be that the Matriarch asked someone to bring news to Cousin and called him over for a meal.”
“Of course not.” Wei Ting poured a cup of tea for Guo Huan and said meaningfully, “I received news this morning that the rebels of the White Lotus Society would meet at Full Moon Pavilion, so I came over to try my luck.”
“Is that so?” Guo Huan picked up the tea that Wei Ting had poured for him without blushing. “Have you seen the rebels?”
Wei Ting poured himself a cup of tea. “Yes.”
“Oh?” Guo Huan smiled and took a sip calmly. “Then did Cousin catch him?” “Soon,” Wei Ting said.
Guo Huan smiled at Wei Ting. “Cousin, you should know that I used to like you very much.”
Wei Ting smiled playfully. “Cousin, do you not like me anymore?”
“I do,” Guo Huan said. “It’s just that Cousin doesn’t seem to be as close to me as before.”
Wei Ting said calmly, ‘You’re not a woman. Why should I get close to you?”
Guo Huan laughed. “Cousin, you really know how to joke. You just said that you’re about to catch the rebels of the White Lotus Society.”
“Yes, soon. If you don’t believe me, Cousin, take a look. Where are we going?”
Guo Huan lifted the curtain and took a look. “This is the way to the Dali
Temple…”
Wei Ting smiled and said, “Cousin, you have a good memory. You’re so familiar with the capital after leaving for half a year.”
Guo Huan’s smile faded. “Cousin, what do you mean?”
Wei Ting sneered. “Cousin knows very well.”
Guo Huan lowered his eyes and looked at the tea in the cup. He said unhurriedly, “Cousin, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to do this.”
Wei Ting asked, “What’s wrong?”
Guo Huan smiled coldly. “Have you forgotten that I was brought to Full Moon Pavilion by Matriarch Wei today? If Cousin suspects someone to be a rebel of the White Lotus Society, the first person you should suspect is not me.” Wei Ting saw extreme arrogance and fearlessness in Guo Huan’s eyes.
Guo Huan smiled and said, “In addition, Cousin shouldn’t be able to find the contact who came to deliver the letter, right?”
Wei Ting said coldly, “Cousin is so fast.”
Guo Huan smiled wantonly. “Cousin, you’re good at studying and training.
You’re not good at scheming.”
Fu Su said, “Young Master, we’ve arrived at the Dali Temple! ”
Guo Huan stood up and gave Wei Ting a victorious smile. “Looks like I can’t go to the Dali Temple. Cousin, see you another day.”
Wei Ting smiled casually. “Who said that I’m here to catch the White Lotus
Society’s rebels?”
Guo Huan was stunned.
“Be careful, the few of you! This is a consecrated tribute! It has been worshiped in front of the Buddha for 49 days! It’s going to be sent to the palace later! If you break it, you’ll be beheaded!”
A few officials of the Dali Temple carefully carried a statue covered in silk.
Wei Ting suddenly grabbed Guo Huan’s wrist and smiled maliciously.
Realizing what Wei Ting was going to do, Guo Huan’s heart skipped a beat. “You’re crazy! That’s Emperor Taizu’s statue!”
Wei Ting smiled. “See you in the cell, Cousin.”
With that, he pulled Guo Huan out of the carriage and threw him at the statue without hesitation!
With a loud clang, the statue was shattered by Guo Huan.
The minister of the Dali Temple was stunned!
Guo Huan spat out a mouthful of blood in pain. “I was framed! Someone pushed me… ”
He turned his head and stopped.
Wei Ting was lying in a pool of blood with a dagger “stabbed” in his chest. He looked at him weakly and in disbelief. “Cousin… why did you… want to kill me…”
Guo Huan was speechless..
