She had only spoken two sentences, but she had even skipped his surname in her address.
Wei Ting said calmly, “There’s no need to trouble Princess Kangning.”
The Princess of Northern Yan said warmly, “It’s my first time in the capital, so I’m not familiar with this place. I wonder if General can accompany me around.
I heard that the lights in the capital of the Great Zhou will be very beautiful. I’ve always hoped to have the chance to witness it.”
“How about I accompany Princess Northern Yan for a walk?”
The Wei family’s carriage arrived. Su Xiaoxiao jumped out of the carriage and announced her sovereignty as she stood beside Wei Ting. “Although my husband is born and raised in the capital, he has been studying hard since he was young and rarely goes out to stroll. I’m afraid he might not be qualified to be the guide of the Princess of Northern Yan.”
With that, Su Xiaoxiao said to the coachman who had taken over halfway, “Fu Su, the Princess of Northern Yan is new here and lacks a guide. You’re familiar with the capital. Why don’t you take the Princess of Northern Yan out for a walk?”
“Why is it me?”
After being with Yuchi Xiu for a long time, Fu Su directly cultivated and spoke arrogantly. “Let Yuchi Xiu go!”
Yuchi Xiu appeared in the dark. “I’m not going!”
Fu Su turned to look at him and said, “Aren’t you from Northern Yan? If your princess is here, receive her!”
“I’m not from Northern Yan!” Yuchi Xiu exploded.
“Then where are you from?”
“It’s none of your business!”
The two of them quarreled as if no one was around.
The Princess of Northern Yan maintained a proper smile. “I’m tired. I’ll go back to the posthouse first. General, see you tomorrow at the welcoming banquet.”
After she left, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting and narrowed her eyes dangerously. “General? She called you so intimately. There’s indeed something
between you and her!”
Wei Ting said, “No.”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Still quibbling? Do you dare to say that you didn’t meet her when you went to assassinate King Hulie of Northern Yan back then?”
Wei Ting was stunned. “You even know this? Who told you?”
Su Xiaoxiao was instantly fierce. “You really have an affair with her!”
Wei Ting was helpless. “What nonsense? Who’s having an affair with her? Watch your words.”
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “Tell me, how did you break out of King Hulie’s camp back then
Wei Ting said coldly, “I killed my way out.”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her chin. “Are you sure the Princess of Northern Yan didn’t let you go?”
Wei Ting sighed. “She didn’t let me go. I kidnapped her.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s almond-shaped eyes widened. “You touched her?”
Wei Ting said, “There’s no differentiation between man or woman on the battlefield. It’s the same as you doctors treating illnesses. It is either success or failure. It has nothing to do with males and females.”
Su Xiaoxiao was still not satisfied with this answer.
Wei Ting held his forehead. “I put a sword to her neck and forced her to be a hostage for a while.”
“What happened after that?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“Later.” Wei Ting glanced at Northern Yan Xiu coldly. “A certain careless guy fell into a trap set by Helian Ye. I exchanged hostages with Northern Yan and redeemed a certain someone.”
Yuchi Xiu looked at the sky. If he didn’t admit it, it didn’t happen.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh.”
Wei Ting asked, “What kind of expression is that?”
Su Xiaoxiao patted his shoulder and said generously, “Don’t worry, don’t worry.
I’m not such a petty person. My husband is so handsome and has a good figure. It’s only right for someone to think about him. I won’t mind. Receive the ambassador in peace. Leave such rotten peach blossoms romances to me.” After saying that with a smile, she did not forget to pat her chest.
Wei Ting wondered, “Why do I feel that you’re a little excited?”
Remembering the serious matter, Wei Ting looked at her solemnly. “Did you forget about me in the palace today?”
Su Xiaoxiao choked. “Ahem, no, no.”
Wei Ting’s eyes darkened as he watched a certain little fat peacock get into the carriage.
It would be strange if she didn’t.
What a heartless girl!
This person looked so approachable, but her heart was very, very far away.
He thought that he could unveil her after the wedding but he was too naive.
What she craved was his body, but she had no intention of letting anyone enter her heart.
Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and saw that Wei Ting was staring at her. She hurriedly said, “Why didn’t you come up? I went to do something just now.
Really! It’s business!”
Indeed, she had left the palace for serious business. It was not a lie thought, that he had forget a certain someone. It was Physician Fu who reminded her, “Xiaoxiao, you came to the medical center alone. Where’s Wei Ting?” At that time, she felt like she had been struck by lightning.
Wei Ting… had been forgotten by her in the palace!
The carriage began to move slowly.
Su Xiaoxiao told him everything that had happened today.
Wei Ting heard four main points.
Firstly, MO Guiyuan had a partner who helped him contact Northern Yan and deploy resources to the capital.
Secondly, it was very likely that this person killed Wei Xu, Wei Dalang, and the others back then.
Thirdly, Sikong Yun and Prime Minister Guo were both the other party’s people.
Fourthly, the late Emperor’s edict was in his hands.
“I have something to say about the third point,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
“Tell me,” Wei Ting said.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Could Prime Minister Guo be that person?”
Wei Ting shook his head. “Prime Minister Guo isn’t so capable. From Prime Minister Guo’s actions towards Guo Huan, he didn’t even know that Guo Huan is working for MO Guiyuan.”
Su Xiaoxiao took out two walnuts and placed them on the table. “Therefore, there are a total of two camps. One is MO Guiyuan’s White Lotus Society, and the other is the camp of the mastermind. The pawns of the two camps don’t know each other’s identities, just like how Guo Huan doesn’t know that Prime Minister Guo is the pawn of the mastermind. Prime Minister Guo doesn’t know that Guo Huan is MO Guiyuan’s spy.”
Wei Ting nodded. “That’s true. From the current situation, the only person who can really see the overall situation is the mastermind. The White Lotus Society was destroyed, but he stayed out of it. What a big game!”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Then, Prime Minister Guo and Sikong Yun are his people. Do they know about each other?”
Wei Ting frowned. “That’s hard to say.”
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed the walnuts on the table. “I can’t figure out who in the Great Zhou can have such a deep grudge with the Wei family. The first person I thought of was Emperor Jing Xuan, but on second thought, if he was really the mastermind, why would he be so frightened by the White Lotus Society?”
It was not that Wei Ting had not considered Emperor Jing Xuan. In order to maintain his image as a wise ruler, it was not convenient for Emperor Jing Xuan to kill the Wei family. Therefore, he used Northern Yan to kill all the generals of the Wei family.
However, on second thought, he felt that the possibility was slim.
Emperor Jing Xuan was not a good person, but he was not a too muddle-headed emperor.
He understood what it meant for the Wei family to die in battle. He was not so stupid.
Another piece of evidence was the late emperor’s edict.
If Emperor Jing Xuan had obtained it, he would have destroyed it immediately. Why would he let it fall into MO Guiyuan’s hands?
Wei Ting said thoughtfully, “I dare to guess that he didn’t take the initiative to give the imperial edict to MO Guiyuan. It should have been accidentally obtained by MO Guiyuan. Perhaps he secretly helped to encourage the purge of the White Lotus Society this time.” Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. “He wants the imperial edict back.” Wei Ting said seriously, “That’s right.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought, What a ruthless person. What a powerful plan!
Su Xiaoxiao felt like an ant was scratching her heart. “Who is this person?”
Wei Ting said calmly, “If Sikong Yun escapes, isn’t there still Prime Minister
Guo? Just ask Prime Minister Guo.”
Prime Minister Guo ended his tedious work and planned to return to the residence.
Just as he was about to get into the carriage, a chubby figure darted out from behind him and wrapped him in a sack!
