Baihua Palace is lenient and generous to its disciples, as long as it does not cross the bottom line.

The crime of betrayal is never to be forgiven in Baihua Palace.

Wei Xu also mentioned that he did not kill Jiang Guanchao.

The palace mistress agreed with Wei Xu's approach, and she also thought it would be more beneficial to keep Jiang Guanchao alive.

Apart from official business, she had another thing in her mind: "General Wei, I really want to thank you on behalf of Ling Yun this time. He has never had a male elder treat him like this since he was a child."

There are more male maidens than male maidens in Baihua Palace, and all the elders are women.

Even his biological father had never given him fatherly love, but Wei Xu gave it to him.

It is the love that requires one to sacrifice one's life and give with all one's heart, and it is also the protection that is as strong as the mountains.

"I can feel that he is much happier after returning to the island. Really, I have to thank you."

Wei Xu said gently: "We are the ones who should say thank you. Let's not talk about these things. We are all family." - Coming out of Lingxiao Palace, Wei Xu saw Ling Yun wandering at the door.

He walked over with a pleasant expression: "Waiting for me?"

Ling Yun nodded gently: "I have something to say to General Wei."

Xiahou Qing announced Ling Yun's background. It seems that he can no longer get this father...

Wei Xu thought regretfully.

Wei Xu said, "Go to your side and talk."

The two came to Qingyun Palace, entered Lingyun's room, and sat on the futon facing each other.

Next to it were three clean small cushions and a small blanket that belonged to Wei Xiaobao.

Ling Yun poured tea for Wei Xu.

The two sat in silence.

Wei Xu did not urge him.

After a long while, Ling Yun spoke softly: "A few years ago, I went to Suibei Pass and met General Wei. It was not an accidental encounter. I... went to find him on purpose."

"Really?" Wei Xu responded, without telling Ling Yunjiang what Guanchao had said to him.

Ling Yun said: "I went to find General Wei because I heard that he knew the secret of the Xiahou family. I hated the Xiahou family and wanted to get the secret. When I arrived at Suibei Pass, I found that General Wei knew nothing about the Xiahou family."

Wei Xu asked, "Have you ever mentioned the Xiahou family to my father?"

Ling Yun whispered, "Yes. I told you that it was a lie that I only met General Wei once. We met three times in private. The third time, he told me that he had something for me that might help me answer my questions. Not long after, he was killed by Helian Ye. I often wondered if I had implicated him. Perhaps it was because of my meeting that General Wei was targeted..."

Wei Xu paused and asked, "Where did you hear that my father knew the secret of the Xiahou family?"

Ling Yun said truthfully: "Qianji Pavilion."

Wei Xu looked into Ling Yun's eyes and said, "The one who led you to see my father is the culprit. Everything was his plan. Besides, even I didn't know that my father met you, let alone others. You didn't implicate my father. My father must have made all the necessary preparations to meet you."

Ling Yun's eyes trembled slightly: "Really?"

Wei Xu nodded: "Yes, the reason why my father was poisoned was that he trusted someone too easily, and that person was not you."

He was once the "King of Nanyang".

Ling Yun's heart knot was untied and he felt relaxed.

Wei Xu smiled and said, "Go to bed early."

Ling Yun responded obediently: "Yeah." - On the other side, Gui Bu was also ready to rest.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it at this time of night?"

He asked unhappily.

There was no response from outside the door.

Gui Bu sensed something was wrong and hurried to open the door, only to see Chu Feifeng standing at the door holding a bundle, her face flushed from being yelled at.

Gui Bu was flustered and said, "I... I thought it was Lao Er and Xiao Liu."

Gui Bu looked at the bag in her hand and opened the door wide: "Come in!"

Chu Feifeng walked into the house with his head down.

Gui Bu was so happy that he pretended to be calm and said, "You're not accompanying Xiao Bao tonight?"

Chu Feifeng whispered, "It's not good for Dad to see me sleeping in a separate room from you."

Gui Bu's excitement, which had made him want to set off fireworks just now, was completely dampened. -The next day.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the pharmacy to water the medicinal herbs.

A total of two medicinal herbs were brought back on this trip, one was picked by Wei Xu and the other was picked by Wei Liulang.

Wei Liulang was pulling out the weeds randomly, but unexpectedly he pulled out a genuine medicinal herb. It was really a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

Immediately, Su Xiaoxiao took out the dragon crystal from the mechanism box, took it to Wei Xu's room, and told him about opening the mechanism box.

Su Xiaoxiao is in a good mood!

Wei Xu said: "It turns out that there is a piece of dragon crystal in the box."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Dad, where have you seen this dragon crystal before? In a picture or sculpture?"

Wei Xu recalled it carefully and shook his head: "I don't remember."

Maybe he really hadn't seen it, or maybe he had seen it, but he lost part of his memory during the years when he was drugged in southern Xinjiang and couldn't remember it.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "It seems that I still have to go to the City Lord's Mansion and start with Xia Houqing."

As the two were talking, someone came from Ling Yun's side and asked Wei Qing and Su Xiaoxiao to go over there as someone from the Western Jin Dynasty had arrived.

The ghost's terror also passed.

What the three never expected was that the person who came was actually Moye.

"Mr. Zhuge, Madam Wei, and Young Master Wei."

Moye bowed in greeting.

He already knew the true identities of Wei Qing and Gui Bu.

The three of them also greeted him.

Moye had changed a lot. She looked much more haggard and was injured.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Xing'er, "Go get my medicine box."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xing'er went there quickly.

Mo Xie said hurriedly: "This little injury is nothing serious."

Ling Yun said: "Tell me why you suddenly returned to Baihua Palace."

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Back? Mo Xie is from Baihua Palace?

Mo Xie said with a complicated expression: "His Highness and His Royal Highness the Princess were captured by the two brothers of the Xiahou Family."

Wei Qing frowned.

Gui Bu also frowned: "Weren't they fine when we left the Western Jin Dynasty?"

Moye said sadly and angrily: "That's right, the Xiahou brothers were forced out of the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty. We thought they had escaped, but they turned around and kidnapped the princess. In order to save the princess, the eldest prince was also captured."

Ling Yun said: "I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion."

Wei Qing stopped him and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved."

Ling Yun said seriously: "It's the Xiahou family's business, so it has something to do with me."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What are you going to do?"

Ling Yun said: "Just ask for the person." -Su Xiaoxiao didn't want Ling Yun to face this matter alone, so she went to the City Lord's Mansion with Ling Yun.

The purpose of asking is to take your pulse.

It was just a coincidence that Xiahou Qing had been suffering from insomnia and dreaminess recently, and was indeed in poor health.

When Ling Yun saw him, he had just woken up from a nap and looked a little haggard.

"I was just about to go to Baihua Palace to see you." said Xiahou Qing.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him without blinking: "Has the city lord been too tired recently? He doesn't look very well."

"Ah, there's a lot going on on the island, but it doesn't matter."

He said nonchalantly and asked the two to sit down.

The servant served tea and snacks and then left quietly.

Xiahou Qing said to Ling Yun: "Why did you think of coming to the City Lord's Mansion today?"

Ling Yun said calmly, "You haven't been to Baihua Palace for a few days, so come and take a look."

Xiahou Qing, who was suddenly concerned about by his son, could not believe his ears.

But before he could finish his joy, he heard Ling Yun say, "I heard that your adopted son captured two people from the Western Jin Dynasty."

Xiahou Qing paused and looked at Ling Yun suspiciously: "That's true. Who told you that?"

He did not announce to the public that the princess and the eldest prince of the Western Jin Dynasty were imprisoned in the dungeon.

Apart from him, Xiahou Zheng and Xiahou Yu, only a few elders knew about it.

Ling Yun said bluntly: "Their subordinates have found Baihua Palace. When I was traveling outside the island, I lived in Western Jin for a while. The two of them are my friends and took good care of me in Western Jin. I want you to let them go."
