When Su Xiaoxiao came over, what she saw was a man and a horse both doing splits in fear.

She hummed strangely and patted Sihu's head soothingly.

Sihu rubbed his head against Su Xiaoxiao's palm in grievance.

Su Xiaoxiao whispered, "He scared you, didn't he?"

Sihu nodded.

Sihu is brave, but he is just a baby under three years old!

Su Xiaoxiao patiently comforted it: "Okay, okay, I know you were the one who picked him up, but he still scared you. How naughty."

As soon as Xiahou Qing saw Su Xiaoxiao, he felt a surge of panic in his heart.

But when he heard what Su Xiaoxiao said, he felt something was wrong.

He subconsciously tried to cover his face, but found that his entire head was wrapped in gauze, with only his eyes, nose and mouth exposed.

His injuries were treated and his clothes changed.

He began to look around.

He finally knew what was wrong.

This is not a house at all, but a... stable! I spent the night in the stable, no wonder I saw a horse the moment I opened my eyes.

After comforting Sihu, Su Xiaoxiao came to Xiahou Qing, squatted down and looked at his injuries: "This is Baihua Palace, it was Sihu who saved you last night. My Sihu is very good, it has been guarding you all the time."

The four tigers came over and made their presence felt.

Xiahou Qing was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Su Xiaoxiao continued: "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xiahou Qing opened his mouth, but this time he could only make "ah ah" sounds.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "Well, they do look alike."

Seeing Xiahou Qing looking at her in confusion, Su Xiaoxiao explained, "You have been poisoned by a chronic poison. I don't know what the poison is yet. I'll give you an antidote pill. Your life is safe, but these sequelae will not disappear for the time being. I have a brother who was in a similar situation to you, but not exactly the same. I don't know if he improved the prescription or the severity of the poison was different. You should stay in Baihua Palace for a while. There are guards outside who are hunting you down."

Xiahou Qing: “Ah…ah…”

Su Xiaoxiao: "What do you think about the situation in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xiahou Qing nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Xiahou Yi announced the city lord's death and framed you, saying that you killed the city lord. Your portraits are everywhere in the streets and alleys of Fengdu City. Your head is worth 10,000 taels of gold."

Hearing this, Xiahou Qing was sure that the people in Baihua Palace did not recognize him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt something strange.

Xiahou Yi clearly prepared a substitute, so why did he let the substitute "die"?

He subconsciously looked at Su Xiaoxiao, but was surprised to find that the little girl was staring at him with green eyes.

It was as if what he was looking at was not a person, but ten thousand taels of gold walking around.

His body trembled! I always feel that this girl wants to hand me over for gold! Su Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and asked seriously: "Before the city lord died, besides telling my elder brother to be careful of Xiahou Yi, did he say anything else?"

Xiahou Qing: “Ah…ah…”

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at him: "Do you want to think about it again?"

Xiahou Qing nodded and pointed to his head.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at his gestures: "It was damaged...something you don't remember?"

Xiahou Qing nodded again.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Well, then you take your time to think about it."

Xiahou Qing's eyes suddenly became anxious: "Ah...ah..."

"Hmm..." Su Xiaoxiao tried to interpret, "You want to ask...will it bring trouble to Baihua Palace?"

"ah."

Xiahou Qing nodded again.

This girl is so amazing. She guessed it before I even finished demonstrating.

Su Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and stood up: "The Hundred Flower Palace has always been in trouble, and you are no problem!"

Hearing this, Xiahou Qing felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

He has always known that the Baihua Palace has a bad relationship with the major sects on the island, but Yunshuang always treats him badly, so he doesn't bother to please the Baihua Palace.

Anyway, Baihua Palace can solve it itself.

However, when he was in a desperate situation and looked back on everything, he was shocked to realize how difficult it was to live in Baihua Palace.

“Ah…ah…ah…”

He grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's sleeve.

It was said to be a grab, but in fact it was just a touch, because he couldn't use any strength with his hands.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Is there anything else?"

"You are..." Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and interpreted for a while, "You want to ask me how my brother is doing?"

"ah."

Xiahou Qing wanted to admit it, but he didn't dare to admit it too much for fear of being exposed.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "He is outside dealing with the guards of the City Lord's Mansion."

Xiahou Qing's face changed.

He was not worried about himself, but about his son.

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "Don't worry, I'm used to it. It's nothing."

Xiahou Qing felt even more guilty.

He continued.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled coolly: "You are a very nice person. You are worried about Baihua Palace when you can't protect yourself. Don't worry, it can be solved!"

Xiahou Qing looked at her walking away from him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

I mean, please give me a room. I'm sleeping in a stable...

At the gate of Baihua Palace.

Ling Yun blocked the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

The head guard said, "Young Palace Master, arresting the real murderer is urgent. Please do not stop me from doing my job."

Ling Yun said calmly: "I said, there is no murderer in Baihua Palace."

The chief guard said, "This is the order from the Second Master."

Ling Yun said domineeringly: "The last person who came to search with my father's order has been imprisoned. Is the Second Master's order more effective than the City Lord's?"

The captain of the guards was immediately frightened.

First of all, the second master’s status is not as high as that of the city lord.

Secondly, his status is not as good as that of the former eldest son.

The eldest son had such a strong order, but ended up like this. Then I...

"Young Palace Master, sorry to bother you."

The captain of the guards led everyone away.

Su Xiaoxiao came over and said, "Brother is awesome!"

Ling Yun looked at the grass debris on her shoes and realized that she had been to the stable: "Is he awake?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Well, he is in good spirits and seems to be fine, but his symptoms... are a bit tricky. You see, my sixth brother has not fully recovered his voice and appearance after so many years. I finally understand how much pain my sixth brother went through. He couldn't even hold a pen, but he wanted to hold such a heavy sword... He also broke an arm."

Ling Yun walked back calmly.

Su Xiaoxiao followed and glanced at him with a raised eyebrow: "Don't you want to go see him?"

Ling Yun said calmly: "No."

Su Xiaoxiao sighed in an extremely exaggerated manner: "Alas, I don't know who went out to walk Sihu in the rain in the middle of the night. Fortunately, my Sihu is strong and was not damaged by the rain, otherwise-"

Ling Yun looked at her and said, "The villagers that the Four Tigers 'picked up' cost the Baihua Palace a lot of money. Do you want to settle the bill together?"

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed: "We are all family, family!"

Sihu is a kind-hearted, lively and active horse, and the entire hill of Baihua Palace is its territory.

It ran all over the mountains and fields, and every time it saw a villager lying on the ground, it would pick up the person and carry him back on its back to give Su Xiaoxiao treatment.

In the past few months, Sihu has "rescued" more than 30 people.

The problem is that those villagers and woodcutters were just too tired to take a nap, and when they woke up, they found themselves lying in the stable of the Baihua Palace. Isn't that scary?

For this, Baihua Palace paid a lot of money in compensation.

"cough!"

Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and casually said, "Brother, those... bounties on the street are worth 10,000 taels of gold."

Ling Yun: "Why? You want to hand him over?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked hurt and said in a loud voice: "Am I that kind of person? I am very loyal!"

As she spoke, her eyes rolled around, her voice weakened, and she said vaguely, "Sometimes, my hand... has its own ideas. What if one day when I go out on the street, it accidentally reveals the bounty order..."

Ling Yun expressionlessly took out a stack of gold bills and handed them to her.

One thousand taels per piece.

Twenty in total!

After counting the gold bills, Su Xiaoxiao bowed and said, "Thank you, big brother! Big brother is so awesome! Take care, big brother!"

The financial resources of His Majesty Zong Zheng and Shi Hu will always be a mystery.
