Chapter 652: Return to the Capital (2)

“Pretty good.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “Mother, don’t be sad. We all know that Big Brother has regained his memory. He just won’t admit it. When he completes his mission as a sacrificial soldier, he will acknowledge us.” Speaking of which, what was Ghostfear’s mission?

No, she was not curious at all.

Madam Wei smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the heavy basket in her hand and said, “I’ll send it to

Brother later.”

Madam Wei hurriedly said, “This basket of golden oranges is for you. Little Six has already sent it to your brother.”

Among his three sons, only Wei Liulang was the thickest-skinned. He did not have any grudges with anyone and dealt with his brothers and elders.

“Thank you, Mother.” Su Xiaoxiao took the basket.

Madam Wei wanted to say something but hesitated. After taking a few steps, she turned to Su Xiaoxiao and said, “Thank you… for taking care of Little

Seven.”

After Wei Ting returned from the discussion, he saw the golden oranges on the table. He looked at the little fat peac.o.c.k in confusion. “Did you pluck them?” Su Xiaoxiao ate one bite at a time, her cheeks bulging. “Mother sent them.”

Wei Ting sat on the stool beside her and pulled the golden oranges into his arms domineeringly. “Mine.”

Su Xiaoxiao puffed up her cheeks and glared at him. She said vaguely, “Stingy!”

The couple ate golden oranges in the house. As they ate, Wei Ting suddenly felt his heart palpitate.

He subconsciously frowned and rubbed his heart.

Su Xiaoxiao caught his abnormality and looked at him. “Are you feeling unwell? Don’t pretend to be sick just to s.n.a.t.c.h the oranges from me! I don’t fall for this!”

The ruse of self-injury was useless to her!

Wei Ting said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao paused in her actions. She put down the golden orange and took Wei Ting’s pulse. “Your pulse is a little urgent, but you don’t look sick. Does your heart hurt?”

“It’s not pain. Heart palpitations,” Wei Ting said.

“Did you suffer any internal injuries?”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “That’s strange. Your pulse is clearly fine.”

He wasn’t sick or injured, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable… poisoned?

It didn’t seem like it.

Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao took out the small box she had robbed from Sikong Yun.

The moment Wei Ting nestled the small box in his hand, the little worm inside moved.

It was a Gu!

The two of them looked at each other and saw confusion in each other’s eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao asked seriously, “Have you fought the Gu Master?”

Wei Ting shook his head. “No, I didn’t meet him at all.”

There was a traitor in Northern Yan who colluded with the Nanyang King to poison Moxie and the two death warriors guarding Helian Ye. Who was this traitor? Other than the Gu Master Zhao Kangning brought, there was no one

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “He can cast a Gu on you without meeting you.

Either he placed the Gu on King Nanyang, or he placed it in your path.”

Wei Ting remembered something. “Last night, King Nanyang deliberately lured me out…”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Looks like that was the time.”

Wei Ting said coldly, “I knew it. Why did he spend so much effort to lure me out last night? He didn’t say anything to me and didn’t hurt me. It turns out that he was waiting here.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “King Nanyang wants to control you with Gu.”

Wei Ting had the army left behind by Lord Wu An. Now that the truth had been exposed and King Nanyang’s ident.i.ty had been exposed, it was impossible for Wei Ting to hand the Commander’s Seal to him.

In order to achieve his goal, he chose to use Gu to control Wei Ting.

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. “What a good plan. From the looks of it, he hid in Helian Ye’s room yesterday not only to wait for Helian Ye to die, but also to catch you. No, perhaps even earlier. He could have killed Helian Ye, but he deliberately didn’t kill him to lure us out.”

Although she hated King Nanyang, she could not help but sigh. As expected of the big boss who played MO Guiyuan like a fiddle. His schemes were simply too much.

Wei Ting asked, “Do you know how to remove the Gu?”

“Yes…” Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said with difficulty, “It’s just that the method is a little… extreme.”

Wei Ting said seriously, “I’m not afraid. Come on.”

‘I’m the one who’s afraid… If you don’t control yourself when interacting in depth, who can withstand it?”

However, she could not find a second way to remove the Gu for Wei Ting.

She sighed, made up her mind, and told him the method to remove the Gu.

Wei Ting looked at her speechlessly.

After a while, he sighed faintly and seriously reflected. “It’s my fault. I neglected you after the wedding. Since we’re husband and wife, it’s only right that you want to have s.e.x. There’s no need to find this excuse.”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

At the posthouse, Zhao Kangning was pacing around the room, feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“who?”

“Princess, it’s me.”

Zhao Kangning relaxed. “Come in.”

The Gu Master pushed the door open and entered.

Zhao Kangning sized him up and asked impatiently, ‘Where have you been for the past two days? I haven’t seen you since yesterday morning.”

“I went to follow Jing Yi,” the Gu Master said.

“Then did you succeed?” Zhao Kangning asked.

The Gu Master said helplessly, “Jing Yi seems to be very favored by Prince Li of the Western Jin Dynasty. He always stays by Prince Li’s side and I don’t have a chance to attack. Princess, don’t be angry. I have another piece of good news.”

Zhao Kangning said coldly, “What good news?”

The Gu Master smiled. “I poisoned Wei Ting.”

Zhao Kangning was stunned. “Really?”

The Gu Master smiled and said, “It’s absolutely true. I poisoned him with the Unity Gu. In less than three days, no, I should say that he will listen to you tonight. Princess, wait for him to look for you tomorrow!”

The night was hazy. Su Xiaoxiao, who had devoted herself to the Gu removal, extinguished the oil lamp in the house.

After their marriage, the two of them never interacted with each other again. They were actually a little nervous.

The two of them sat on the canopy bed.

Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “Um… let’s make things clear first.
