Chapter 463 It’s obvious that he is treating Tianbao as his daughter-in-law!
Wei Li understood.
"Darong and Beixiang are separated only by the Shu Road, and they have always been pro-Northern. So when you investigated Guiyi Pavilion, you probably initially suspected it was connected to the Beixiang royal family. Perhaps Guiyi Pavilion is indeed connected to Beixiang, but Nan Sang also planted a stake in Darong, so he's not innocent either.
Just now you asked how many guards the Nansang Emperor's eldest grandson brought with him... Are you suspecting he's using this opportunity to borrow the passage to leave people in Changjing to plot against you?"
Tian Bao pursed her lips and said calmly, "We don't have any evidence, but it's always right to be prepared for a rainy day. Compared to Beixiang and Dongpu, Nansang feels more dangerous to me because Nansang is better at hiding."
If Bei Xiang is an ambitious wolf waiting for an opportunity, Nan Sang is a poisonous snake hiding in the dark waiting to kill with one blow.
Bai Yu also said, "Right now, the attention of all the countries in the Central Plains is drawn to the Dongpu War. There's no guarantee that someone won't be waiting for this opportunity, just waiting for us to relax for a moment, and then they'll attack us from behind."
"But everything is just speculation. Why did you suddenly target Nan Sang, who is hiding the deepest? Is it because you discovered a loophole in reviewing past events?"
"Because of the clue Chu Tianxing left before his death, the stroke that resembled a cross."
Bai Yu briefly recounted what happened during their trip to Nanling last year. "Chu Tianxing is dead, and the iron man he crafted was secretly taken away. If it was Wen Renjing who killed him, he wouldn't have rushed to Xiling so quickly. I ordered Wangque Tower to keep a close eye on the situation there, and we discovered that Wen Renjing's men were searching Xiling for the iron man's whereabouts, which means he was most likely not the one who did it.
Who could possibly be capable of opposing him, yet still hiding in the shadows and playing the role of the oriole, without being noticed by Xiling's spies? It couldn't be a small or medium-sized country, as they were locked in a fierce conflict with Dongpu at the time and were unable to spare any time.
After much deliberation and considering the clues left by Chu Tianxing, Nan Sang is the most likely suspect."
He dipped his finger in tea and wrote the character "十" on the sandalwood table stroke by stroke. Then he added a few strokes below, and the character "南" was complete.
At this point, Wei Li raised an eyebrow, a playful smile playing on his lips. "Dongpu, Beixiang, and Nansang are all involved, but there's another major country you haven't mentioned, and you don't even seem to have any suspicions at all. Could it be... Xiling is a friendly force?"
Bai Yu's face was expressionless. "Don't ask. People who are wise but appear foolish live longer."
There was a sudden burst of laughter around the dinner table.
To prolong his life, Wei Li decided to quit while he was ahead and smiled at his friends. "There will be a state banquet in Nansang in September. The Emperor of Nansang has abdicated the throne to the Crown Prince and retired as the Grand Emperor. Daiyue has received an invitation to the ceremony. How about going together to join in the fun?"
The answer was in unison, "Is that even a question?"
Of course!
Because of the sudden increase in his schedule, Bai Yu first wrote a letter to inform his family to prevent his aunt from waiting for him for a long time and getting sick again.
Before leaving, he promised to come back in three months at the latest.
It was already July when the letter was delivered to the eldest princess. The rice on the banks of the Qing River had sprouted ears, and the fragrance of rice flowers wafted in the air.
Just after lunch, in the Su family courtyard, the women sat in the main room to enjoy the cool air and chat.
"Yu'er said there's something else he needs to do. Well, these kids spend much more time out and about than at home. We've gotten used to it over the years." Old Lady Su was holding a piece of sky-blue cloth, ready to cut it to make two more sets of summer clothes for Nianniansuisui. "Don't worry too much, Yu'er's mother. They'll definitely be back once they finish their current tasks."
The eldest princess sat at the door of the main hall holding Nian Nian. There was no trace of madness in her eyes. Her smile was calm and kind. "Don't worry. I know Yu'er will definitely come back."
"Sister Xi, are you really relieved?" Liu Yuelan smiled teasingly, and she used the scissors in her hand to cut the cloth neatly according to the position indicated by her mother-in-law.
"I'm so relieved!" The eldest princess was very confident, with a subtle smile, "Even if I don't believe Yu'er, I believe Tianbao. As long as she is here, Yu'er will definitely come back!"
Not to mention coming back, you can’t even drive them away.
She's been through it all, how could she not understand? Her son Yu'er had been completely dominated by Tianbao for a long time, to the point where he wouldn't even turn over if you gave him a chance.
As long as she guards the temple of Tianbao, Yu'er will be a monk in the temple and cannot fly.
The eldest princess' smile deepened. She lowered her head and rested it against Nian Nian's forehead, murmuring something teasingly. The eight-month-old baby looked completely different from when he was first born. He looked like a chubby pink dough ball, very attractive.
As cute as Yu'er was when she was a child.
The women of the Su family looked at each other and exchanged glances.
We were just chatting, but why did Yu'er's mother's words sound a little off?
They were clear about the identity and origin of this "Yu'er Niang" and the children told their family when they came back, including the old woman's hysteria.
Could it be... that he suddenly went crazy and started talking nonsense?
Not really.
He Daxiang groaned and said casually, "Sister Xi is right. We have seen Yu'er grow up since he was a child. Who doesn't know his true character? He is a lawless little bully! Not to mention, only our Tianbao can control him. The two grew up together and have always been inseparable. Where Tianbao is, Yu'er will definitely be seen. Sister Xi, you don't have to worry about Yu'er not coming back if you stay here. If he dares not come back, Tianbao will beat him back! That's the truth!"
Mrs. Su, Liu Yuelan, and Su Xiuer, who had just changed her youngest son's diaper, "..."
They knew something was wrong.
The princess's subtle words just now clearly came from the fact that she treated Tianbao as her daughter-in-law!
Oh my god, this is terrible!
Old Lady Su stuffed all the cloth into her eldest daughter-in-law's hands, picked up a small stool and sat down next to the eldest princess. She took her hand and patted it gently, saying earnestly, "Yu'er's mother, Yu'er's family is here, he will naturally come back, but you can't count too much on Tianbao. Our Tianbao will definitely learn from everything you say to her, but if you say something to her... well, I won't beat around the bush, I'll just say it straight. Tianbao doesn't know how to do anything else except fighting and teasing people!"
"Grandma Su, are you saying that Tianbao hasn't really developed a grasp of love?" The eldest princess smiled slightly, leaning closer to Old Lady Su. "That's not necessarily true. Have you seen the silver bracelet on Tianbao's wrist? It's a black silk bracelet. Black silk, with its countless threads, is a thread of love. It's a gift given and received by young people with a deep connection to each other."
Old Lady Su's butt tilted, the small stool fell over, and the eldest princess caught her quickly.
The old woman's lips twitched, and she met the noble lady's smiling eyes, "..."
Did Tianbao and Yuer make a mistake?
Is the eldest princess's hysteria actually fake?
How can there be such a smart madman?
