Chapter 1028 Ah Xuan’s Bedtime
At Elder Lou"s residence.
Su Xuan went out to do something. Princess Hui An and Su Li stared at each other in the courtyard.
Su Li"s injuries were fine, so he wanted to run out.
However, Fourth Brother instructed him to stay behind to protect Princess Hui An. In order not to cause trouble for Fourth Brother, he could only reluctantly stay at home.
He couldn"t stay idle and caused trouble everywhere, causing Princess Hui An to be extremely noisy.
Princess Hui An closed her eyes. "Su Li!"
Su Li asked, "What?"
Princess Hui An sighed. "Can you stop wandering in front of me? I"m dizzy from your movements."
Su Li curled his lips and walked over, sitting down on the stone stool.
Princess Hui An pursed her lips and asked Su Li, "What kind of girl does your fourth brother like?"
Su Li said listlessly, "My fourth brother doesn"t like girls."
Princess Hui An trembled. "Does he like men?!"
"No!" Su Li trembled even harder.
What was going on?
Why would his fourth brother like men?
Su Li sighed and said, "My fourth brother is indifferent to worldly temptations. He doesn"t like anyone."
Princess Hui An"s eyes were sharp.
Su Li did not know how to read people"s expressions. "I"m telling the truth. If you want my fourth brother to be your consort, you should give up."
He went to get the fruit on the table but Princess Hui An s.n.a.t.c.hed the entire fruit plate. "I"m not letting you eat it!" Su Li was speechless.
In the evening, Su Xuan finally returned.
The chef had also prepared the food.
After the three of them had dinner, Su Li, who had been holding it in for the entire day, hurriedly went out for a walk.
Only Princess Hui An and Su Xuan were left at home.
Su Xuan was used to sitting at the stone table in the courtyard after dinner.
Princess Hui An took out the fruit plate that had been kept for the entire day and placed it in front of him.
Su Xuan didn"t move.
Princess Hui An did not really want to give him fruit to eat. After dinner, no one was hungry.
She sat down opposite him and glanced at the book in his hand. "You read all day. Is the book that good?"
Su Xuan said, "I"m used to it."
Princess Hui An thought for a moment. "Then, give me a copy too."
Su Xuan found a relatively interesting legend from the Southern Wilderness on the table for her and lit up the oil lamp on the table.
Princess Hui An opened the book and read it seriously.
Fifteen minutes later, she successfully fell asleep on the table.
There were many mosquitoes in the Southern Wilderness, especially after the weather warmed up. All kinds of mosquitoes came out, each more poisonous than the last. A bite could cause a huge b.u.mp that would not disappear for a few days.
Su Xuan went to the house to get a mosquito repellent stove and placed it at Princess Hui An"s feet.
When Princess Hui An woke up, a bright moon had already hung on the branch.
The night flowed.
Su Xuan was reading quietly; the young master was looking as peerless as jade.
Princess Hui An watched in a daze, even forgetting to speak.
"Is Princess Hui An awake?" Su Xuan closed the book and slowly looked at her. "Go back to your room and rest."
"Yes... yes." Princess Hui An came back to her senses and returned to the house with a face full of marks.
After washing up, she called Su Xuan over. "Keep watch at night. I"m afraid of snakes."
Su Xuan said, "There are no more snakes."
Princess Hui An said, "What if there are? I don"t care. I can"t sleep without someone keeping watch!"
Su Xuan said earnestly, "Princess, you"re a woman. Your reputation is important."
Princess Hui An snorted. "You also said that I"m a princess. Why would I need something like a reputation? As long as I like it, not to mention getting someone to keep watch at night, even if I raise ten or eight gigolos in my princess"s residence, what can the world do to me?"
After a pause, Princess Hui An glanced at him and said domineeringly, "As for you, guard the night for the time being. If I"m happy one day, I can let you serve me!"
After saying that, her heart thumped and her exquisite face turned red.
Su Xuan"s expression was as calm as ever.
He didn"t say anything else. He took a book and sat down.
However, today was different from that time in the cave.
There was soft leather on the comfortable futon.
Princess Hui An lay down.
Su Xuan read quietly.
Princess Hui An gently pressed her forehead against his cold back.
Su Xuan turned his head slightly and looked back from the corner of his eye.
Princess Hui An closed her eyes and said, "Don"t move, or I"ll summon you to my bed!"
The night in the southern border was no longer cold. Even the evening wind was warm.
Princess Hui An fell asleep, breathing evenly.
Su Xuan was about to move away when he realized that her hand was tugging at his sleeve.
He sat back and continued to read the book in his hand.
On the other side, the few of them who had finished discussing left Wei Xu"s room one after another.
Wei Xu had a complicated expression.
Actually, everyone was about the same.
They did not expect Su Xuan to betray the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance to kill Wei Xu. Of course, he saved Wei Xu in the end.
This price was unexpected.
Everyone adopted Ling Yun"s opinion. From now on, everyone would conserve their strength as much as possible.
It was best to outsmart the King of the Southern
Wilderness.
At this juncture, the Saintess, as a puppet, was especially important.
Ling Yun was about to return next door to check on the Saintess when he was stopped by Ghostfear.
"Want to fight again?" Ling Yun asked.
Ghostfear looked at him warily. "Who are you? Why do you know so much about the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance? You even know their movements and sect rules!"
Ling Yun asked calmly, "Is this very important?"
Ghostfear said coldly, "I have reason to suspect that you"re a spy sent by the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance!"
"Brother."
Wei Qing pushed the wheelchair over. "The table in my room is broken. Help me repair it."
Ghostfear glanced at Ling Yun coldly and pushed Wei Qing"s wheelchair away.
As soon as they entered the house, Wei Qing said to Ghostfear, "Brother, he"s not a spy of the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance."
Ghostfear frowned and said, "But don"t you think he"s too strange? He clearly doesn"t know martial arts, but he can deal with death warriors, kill Gu, and even know how to refine puppets. This person has too
many secrets. I wonder if what he said is true."
Wei Qing said, "He doesn"t have any ill intentions towards us. No matter how many secrets he has, it"s his freedom."
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
The three little clingy voices came from outside.
Ghostfear snorted coldly.
Even the three little smelly farts had been kidnapped by him!
Su Xiaoxiao entered the pharmacy to take a look at the Snake Bone Flower. The bud was bigger again, and the day of bloom was getting closer and closer.
After leaving the pharmacy, she went to the man"s room and told him that the King of the Southern Wilderness wanted to mobilize his troops against the Great Zhou.
"Our plans might have changed."
The original plan was to let the man recover before carrying out the plan.
But who asked the King of the Southern Wilderness to move so quickly? They did not have the time.
They could only carry out another plan.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him steadily. "You still have the last hour to go back on your word. When you get into the carriage outside, there"s no turning back."
The man stood up and looked at the endless night. His eyes were firm as he said, "Let"s go."
