Chapter 13: Surrogacy
The peach blossoms of April are gone, and it is another sunny day.
Xiao Tu lay lazily on the black silk quilt, with red marks dotted on her fair skin, like plum blossoms blooming in the snow, beautiful and gorgeous.
She was lying in bed when she suddenly felt an itch on her buttocks. She couldn't help but laugh angrily, "Stop it, are you still tired~"
A pale, sexy, and strong body pressed against the black silk quilt. A fearful expression appeared on the devil's face. "My little rabbit is really sensitive."
Xiao Tu gave him a disgusted look and said, "Who is your little rabbit?" Then he stood up and said lazily, "It's getting late. Can you come home with me today?"
Ning Cuo put his arm around her slender waist, his lips whispering in her ear, "Do you really want me to go back with you?"
Xiaotu smiled and kissed him, "It's okay. If you're busy, I'll leave first."
As she said this, she lifted the quilt, put on her clothes, tied her hair, threw a coquettish glance, and turned away.
Ning Cuo looked at the familiar scene and raised his brows slightly for a moment.
As soon as she left, Xiao Lezi opened the door and came in again, "Master, are you up?"
Ning Cuo glanced at him but didn't say anything. Instead, he fell into thought.
Xiao Lezi stepped forward with a smile, "Master, when Madam Xiao left just now, she took away the assassin from last night."
Ning Cuo didn't react when he heard this. Instead, he raised his eyebrows lazily and asked, "Do you feel that every time she comes over at night, she feels different from when she leaves in the morning?"
Xiao Lezi couldn't figure out the source of the problem, "I haven't observed this carefully."
"It's just that they come too enthusiastically in the evening and leave too quickly in the morning."
"Ah, this servant didn't notice it, but...but speaking of this, every time Madam Xiao gets out of bed first, the servant, the servant is a little uncomfortable with it."
As she spoke, she glanced at the man quietly. He was half lying on the bed in a casual manner. His pale skin was covered with marks just like yesterday. There were traces of the woman's handprints on his wrists, and even a visible place like his neck had a bright strawberry mark planted on it.
"What's the meaning?"
"That's right. According to common sense, after a good night of love, the one who gets out of bed first is usually the man!"
"so what?"
"So every time I see Madam Ning coming out first, and you lying on the bed like this, I feel like I'm the one being slept with first, hahahaha... haha..."
The joking laugh stopped abruptly when the man glanced at her.
Ning Cuo just glanced at him and asked, "Have you checked the information we found yesterday?"
Xiao Lezi immediately stepped forward respectfully and said, "Master, everything is fine. Madam Xiao's information is exactly the same as what we checked the other day."
"Exactly the same?" Ning Cuo curled his lips wickedly. "One is a young lady from an aristocratic family who can be frightened to tears by insects, and the other can play music for killing people with a smile. You tell me they are the same person?"
"I also feel the difference is too great. Master, I will go again..."
Ning Cuo smiled faintly, "No need, no matter who she is, I don't care at all. I only want the person who dares to sleep with me."
Xiao Lezi, "..."
Master, you said that I was very brave, but there was no anger in your tone. Instead, you seemed to be in high spirits!
Xiao Lezi complained in his heart, but smiled brightly as he said, "Although the Madam's affairs are still unclear, I have found out something related to her."
Ning Cuo raised her charming eyes lazily, "Oh~?"
Seeing his master's interest, Xiao Lezi hurriedly continued, "Madam is the daughter of a noble family, but her ancestors have long lost their titles. Now her father and brothers are all unemployed at home. However, the family property is quite substantial. With such conditions, why do you think this huge Jade Palace chose her to be the princess?"
Ning Cuo sneered, "Left is nothing but a self-serving purpose."
"Master, you've hit the nail on the head. Prince Yu has inherited the title for many years and is already twenty-two years old, but he has yet to marry. This is probably because he has been in love with his childhood sweetheart, Princess Rongchang."
He paused, then looked at his master with a frown, "This Jade Prince's true love is also of extraordinary status. She is the legitimate daughter of the Dongling Prince, a rare figure in this dynasty."
Ning Cuo smiled faintly, "The King of Dongling commands an army of 300,000 men and has been guarding Dongling for nearly ten years."
"Isn't it true? It's really pitiful that the Jade Prince and the Princess are in love but can't be together!"
Ning Cuo scoffed, "Go on."
"Yes, although this Princess Rongchang is of noble status, unfortunately her mother was born with a weak body and fell ill every other day. The doctor once asserted that she might never be able to have children.
So when the old Princess Yu learned about this, she refused to agree to her son's marriage no matter what. Prince Yu was also infatuated and refused to marry unless the old Princess agreed. This has been dragging on until now."
"Then why are you willing to marry me now?"
"The old princess saw that she couldn't persuade her son, so she came up with a plan to use a surrogate mother to bear a child."
"What a great way to have a child through surrogacy." Ning Cuo looked over lightly.
Xiao Lezi nodded, "It's Madam Xiao."
"Oh, after giving birth?"
Xiao Lezi lowered his head and said, "Get rid of the mother and keep the son. Marry Princess Rongchang."
Ning Cuo's charming eyes smiled strangely, "It's hard for this Jade Prince's Mansion."
Seeing this, Xiao Lezi didn't dare to respond, but quietly lowered his head even more.
At this moment, someone came to report outside.
Xiao Lezi asked, "What's the matter?"
"Eunuch Le, the Emperor is anxious to find Lord Du and has already sent people to urge him three times."
Xiao Lezi looked up quietly when he heard this.
Ning Cuo leaned lazily on the soft bed and pursed his scarlet lips, "Then go!"

The afternoon sun is bright, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Amidst the bright peach blossoms, on the swing bed, a graceful figure stretched lazily.
Xiaozhi immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Princess, you're awake, wash your face."
Xiaotu took it and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's past noon. What would you like to eat, Princess?"
Xiaotu thought for a moment and said, "Tea and snacks will be fine."
Xiaozhi ordered a few snacks to the maid, then said, "Princess, the dancer you brought back from the prince this morning said she wanted to see you."
Xiaotu lazily propped up her cheeks and said, "Then bring it up."
Xiaozhi took the order and led his men to push the other side forward.
The dancer was still dressed in her enchanting attire from last night, her clothes stained with blood, and she was seriously injured. After she was brought to the scene, she immediately bowed deeply to Xiao Tu, "Thank you, Miss, for saving my life."
Seeing this, Xiao Tu raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the girl with apricot-faced and rosy cheeks, "You're welcome, please take a seat."
The dancer didn't stand up after hearing this. She bowed again and said, "I can never repay you for saving my life. As long as you can be of any use to me, I will go through fire and water for you."
Xiao Tu curled her red lips and said, "I don't need you to go through fire and water, just put down the hidden weapon in your hand."
The dancer froze all over, then slowly raised her head, staring at her with clear eyes, "How did you know?"
