When Su Yun'an returned from Changshou Palace that evening, he saw that everyone looked serious.
Su Yun'an sensed something was wrong and frowned, asking Duanmu Junyu and Su Xuening, "What happened? Why do you all look so pale?"
Duanmu Junyu and Su Xuening exchanged a glance. She hesitated whether to tell Su Yun'an about this.
Before Duanmu Junyu could even try to hide anything, Su Yun'an immediately saw through her: "What exactly is it? Are you trying to keep it from me?"
...Duanmu Junyu was surprised by Su Yun'an's keen insight and was both amused and exasperated.
She hadn't even decided whether or not to keep it a secret, but he already knew.
Su Xuening was also helpless, and knew that she couldn't hide this from Su Yun'an.
Moreover, it's definitely better to tell Su Yun'an about Xiao Bao's situation. The more people know, the more people can protect Xiao Bao, which is a good thing.
Su Xuening then told Su Yun'an about the letter they had received that morning. Su Yun'an was shocked to hear this: "Someone wants to steal Xiaobao?"
"Who are those three?"
Su Yun'an identified the murderer almost without thinking.
Because only they have such a motive. After the assassin's plan failed, they must have been desperate and decided to steal Xiaobao to control Xiliang and Dongchu!
Moreover, with Xiao Bao's noble status and the support of three powerful figures—Eastern Chu, Western Liang, and Northern Wei—he couldn't imagine anyone else in Northern Wei who would dare to touch Xiao Bao!
Granny Su Xuening nodded: "That's what we guessed too, it's probably them."
Su Yun'an gritted his teeth in anger: "They really never stop causing trouble. This morning, my great-grandfather summoned them to the Longevity Palace, and they angered him greatly. Now they've even started causing trouble for Xiao Bao. They deserve to die!"
He was never close to these people. If they behaved themselves, that would be fine, but if they caused trouble all the time, he would make sure they all died without a burial place the day he ascended the throne!
Su Xuening frowned: "Is great-grandfather alright?"
Su Yun'an shook his head: "It's alright. He knows he's not feeling well and is trying his best to control his emotions!"
He could tell that his great-grandfather actually wanted to live a few more days; he was probably worried about him and his father.
So my great-grandfather has been working hard to improve his health, hoping to live three more years, just as my sister said.
Hearing this, Su Xuening felt relieved and looked at Su Yun'an to comfort him, saying, "You don't need to worry about Xiao Bao. So many of us are guarding Xiao Bao day and night. It's not that easy for them to steal Xiao Bao."
Duanmu Junyu also said, "Your brother-in-law is so skilled in martial arts, and the Xuanwu divine beast will protect Xiaobao. How could those ugly and wicked people possibly steal Xiaobao? They're just dreaming!"
With their words of comfort, Su Yun'an was truly relieved.
I must say, it wasn't easy for those three to steal Xiao Bao!
The key is that besides stealing Xiao Bao, they can't make Xiao Bao cry or hurt him, otherwise the divine punishment of the Xuanwu Beast will make them die without a burial place!
However, even just the word "steal" is not easy to do. The palace servants in the Eastern Palace are basically the great-grandfather's people, so it is not easy for the three to insert new palace servants.
Moreover, even if they did manage to plant palace servants, their sister and brother-in-law would always be by Xiao Bao's side, so they couldn't succeed.
Needless to say, my brother-in-law's martial arts skills are probably unmatched in the entire Xuan Tian Continent. Although my sister doesn't know martial arts, she has enough poison on her body to protect herself and Xiao Bao.
Besides, if my sister really can't defeat the palace servant who stole Xiaobao, she can make Xiaobao cry and summon the Xuanwu divine beast. In the end, the person who stole Xiaobao will only have one way out: death.
So after thinking it over, Xiao Bao is still safe, so there's no need to worry too much.
"Where did Father go?" Su Yun'an had been talking for so long, but he still hadn't seen Su Renzhong.
Someone is trying to steal Xiaobao, and instead of guarding Xiaobao, where has the father gone?
“Your father went to check the handwriting on the letter. The writer didn’t leave a signature, and we don’t know who tipped us off, so your father went to check.”
Just as Duanmu Junyu finished explaining, Su Renzhong returned with the letter.
"Have you found out?" Before Su Renzhong could even walk over, everyone asked in unison.
Seeing them all speak in unison, Su Renzhong was amused. He tossed the letter onto the table, picked up his teacup, poured himself a glass of water, and without answering, took a sip of tea before teasingly asking, "You'll never guess who it is?"
...Everyone was instantly speechless.
What kind of talk is that?
If they could guess who it was, why would they bother asking him to investigate?
However, since he can say that, the person who wrote the letter must be someone unexpected.
But who exactly is it?
Su Yun'an picked up the letter out of curiosity, opened it, and was shocked: "It's Helian Qin!"
"Pfft..." Su Yun'an's words caused Su Renzhong to spit out the tea in his mouth.
He was smugly staring at them as they guessed, knowing they would never guess, but the next second, this kid revealed the answer to them.
Su Xuening and Duanmu Junyu were initially incredulous at Su Yun'an's answer, but seeing Su Renzhong's astonished expression, they knew Su Yun'an was right.
The group was immediately taken aback.
"How could it be Helian Qin?"
Aren't those the three who were trying to steal Xiao Bao? How come it's Helian Qin who's tipping them off? What's going on?
“It’s Helian Qin!” Su Renzhong nodded with certainty and explained, “I spent the whole afternoon comparing this letter with Helian Qin’s handwriting, and I found that it is exactly the same, there’s no mistake!”
As Su Renzhong spoke, he looked curiously at Su Yun'an and asked, "How did you know it was Helian Qin who tipped you off?"
"I don't know!" Su Yun'an blinked in confusion, holding the letter. "I recognized the handwriting on the letter. It's Helian Qin's handwriting."
...Su Renzhong was speechless: "I'm just asking you, how did you recognize Helian Qin's handwriting?"
He had been in Northern Wei for four years, and when he saw Helian Qin's handwriting, he only felt that it looked familiar, but he still couldn't recognize it directly!
How did I recognize this kid at first glance?
Su Yun'an shrugged innocently: "What's so strange about that? I've been reviewing memorials with my great-grandfather every day for the past few days, and now I can recognize the handwriting of almost all the officials who have submitted memorials."
...Su Renzhong was speechless again, and was also quite shocked.
Actually, he didn't dare to say that the old man had also taught him how to approve memorials, and he had done so for four years.
He reviewed memorials for four years and still couldn't recognize the handwriting of all the officials in the court. But after reviewing them for less than four days, he could recognize them all. What else could he say?
After a long pause, Su Renzhong could only manage to stammer, "You are indeed smarter than me!"
