“Okay,” Wei Ting said without thinking.

Su Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hands and looked at him. “Aren’t you going to stop me? That place is heavily guarded.”

Wei Ting glanced at her. “Is that useful? When have you listened to my opinion?”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. Wei Ting said calmly, “Change into night clothes.”

“Oh,” Su Xiaoxiao agreed.

The pair stood up.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the box to look for the night clothes, but suddenly, there was an anxious movement in the corner.

“Be careful!”

Wei Ting took a step forward and blocked her with his body. The two of them were too close, and Su Xiaoxiao lost her balance and fell back.

His strong arms wrapped around her soft waist and protected her tightly.

“It’s a big rat!”

Fu Su held the rat’s tail and said.

Wei Ting supported the cabinet behind her with one hand and hugged her with the other to prevent her from falling. Su Xiaoxiao grabbed his lapel.

The two of them subconsciously did not think too much about it.

However, it was a little conspicuous in Fu Su’s eyes.

He spoke again to show his presence. “I said, it’s a rat.”

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her long eyelashes and let go.

Wei Ting wanted to beat Fu Su out.

Fu Su felt a murderous aura coming from the back of his young master’s head. He decisively brought the rat out.

Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply and let go of her.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed his collar again, pulled him down, and kissed the corner of his lips.

The sudden intimacy stunned Wei Ting on the spot.

Before the wedding, she always liked to take advantage of him. After being legitimate, she became much more well-behaved.

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to kiss him since their marriage.

His loosened arm tightened again and found her soft lips, planning to deepen the kiss.

“Young Master, I think…” Fu Su pushed the door open and entered. When he saw the two of them hugging each other intimately, his mind buzzed.

Wei Ting closed his eyes. “Get out!”

“Oh.” Fu Su went out aggrievedly. It was not his fault when they didn’t lock the door.

Su Xiaoxiao licked her lips. “I’m going to the Princess’s Residence.”

Wei Ting’s eyes darkened as he looked at her red lips and felt that her waist had clearly slimmed down. He nodded without changing his expression and let go of her.

In the princess’s residence.

It was late at night, but the mansion was brightly lit. The servants did not say a word and walked quickly along the path with medicine and food.

In the east courtyard, the young princess of Western Jin could not take it anymore. She came to the door of her room and shouted, “I want to go out!”

The two guards outside the door stretched out their arms to stop her. One of them said, “Young Princess, you can’t leave this room. This is an order.”

The young princess said angrily, “Whose order was it? My mother’s or His Majesty’s?”

The guard did not answer. Instead, he said, “Little princess, it’s getting late. Please go back and rest.”

The princess stomped her feet. “I can’t sleep! I want to see my mother!”

The guard said seriously, “Forgive me for being unable to comply.”

The young princess reached out to push them away, but she could not move them at all. Her small fists. .h.i.t the two of them like tickles.

She was so angry that she slammed the door shut! She even inserted the bolt!

Then, she turned around and was surprised to find another person in the house. She screamed, “Ah—oh—”

The other party covered her mouth.

“Princess, it’s me.”

Su Xiaoxiao whispered.

The young princess glared. “Wuwu?”

“Qin Su?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and pulled down the black veil on her face.

“Little Princess, did something happen?” the guard outside the door asked.

Su Xiaoxiao hushed the young princess, who nodded!

Su Xiaoxiao let go of her mouth.

The princess checked the door latch and pressed her thumping heart. She pretended to shout, “Ahhh! I hate you! I hate you to death! Boohoo… When I see

His Majesty next time, I’ll definitely complain about you!”

So she was flipping out… The guard outside the door was relieved.

The princess and Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed and sat down. They asked softly, “Qin Su, why are you here? Did you come alone? It’s so dangerous here.” The first person the little girl was worried about was actually herself.

Su Xiaoxiao pinched her cheek. ‘You’ve lost weight.”

The princess muttered, “You’re talking about me. You’ve lost weight too.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Alright, let’s not talk about this. I came with Wei Ting. He went to see your mother.”

Hearing that Wei Ting was accompanying her, the young princess clearly relaxed.

The princess asked, “Qin Su, are you here to treat my brother?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes.”

The young princess said gloomily, “You came at the wrong time. Something happened to my mother.”

I won’t get involved. I’ll only ask.. Su Xiaoxiao said, “On the way here, I heard from someone that it seems to be an anti-winning technique.”

The young princess said helplessly, “They found a little person covered in silver needles under my brother’s bed. The needle was pierced by a very favored n.o.ble consort recently.”

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Why did she do this?”

The young princess said gloomily, “She was pregnant with a dragon fetus and the dragon fetus was gone. They all said that my mother stabbed a small person, causing her to lose it. However… When my mother first returned from the Great Zhou, she did meet the n.o.ble consort in the harem. The n.o.ble consort did offend my mother.”

She even had a motive. The logic chain was perfect. The internal strife in the Western Jin was much more turbulent than the battle for the throne in the Great Zhou.

The young princess’s eyes were red. ‘Qin Su, my mother is innocent.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her and said, “I believe you.”

“Qin Su…” The grievances the young princess had suffered these past few days finally erupted at this moment. She pounced into Su Xiaoxiao’s arms, and bean-sized tears welled up.

In the main room of another courtyard, Wei Ting saw the Princess of Western Jin.

Even though she was in trouble, this royal princess still had a powerful aura and did not look disheveled at all. However, there seemed to be dark clouds between her eyebrows, revealing her worry about her children.

“I’m surprised you could come.”

After this incident, ordinary people would probably avoid it and not want to be related to the Princess’s Residence.

Wei Ting sat opposite her and said calmly, “These waves are temporary for Your Highness. I believe that with Your Highness’s strength, you can quickly break through the situation.”

The Princess of the Western Jin said calmly, “Of course! Unfortunately, not everyone is as smart as you.”

Wei Ting thought for a moment and asked, “Speaking of which, I’m very curious about the person who made Your Highness suffer a huge loss?”

The Princess of the Western Jin said angrily, “Who else could it be? A strategist in my eldest brother’s residence.”

The carriage escorted by the black-armored guards flashed across Wei Ting’s mind. “Mr. Zhuge?”

The Princess of the Western Jin was surprised. “You know him? His name is Zhuge Qing. It’s said that he’s from the Northern Yan. My brother’s scouts met him at the Broken North Pa.s.s..”
