There were two rooms in her courtyard, one for Dujuan and Ying'er, and one for her.

There were many patients tonight, and Dujuan and Ying'er had to be on night duty, so they gave up their rooms.

Ying'er went to change the bedding and pillow.

She discovered that the boss had a mild obsession with mysophobia. Although it was not directed at her and Du Juan, it was her job to take good care of the boss.

Su Xiaoxiao went to see Su Ergou first.

Qin Canglan was guarding the bedside. The old marquis was forced by Su Xiaoxiao to return home as he had not yet recovered.

"The boy left." Qin Canglan said.

He was referring to Wei Ting.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

"I didn't chase him away." Qin Canglan proved his innocence. After all, he was injured because of Ergou, so he wouldn't chase anyone away.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and walked to the bed.

"How is your father?" Qin Canglan asked.

"Same as last time." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Qin Canglan felt guilty.

If I hadn't been so careless back then, Huayin wouldn't have been killed and Cheng'er wouldn't have become a wanderer.

Su Xiaoxiao touched Su Ergou's forehead and said, "Ying'er and the others will come to patrol the night. You don't have to stay here."

"I want to guard for a while." Qin Canglan said.

After a pause, he muttered, "The three little guys have bad sleeping postures."

He was afraid that they would kick Ergou.

When Qin Canglan said this, he lowered his head and pinched his thick fingers, like a resentful big stupid bear.

Su Xiaoxiao laughed, which was rare.

Very light.

Qin Canglan was startled and turned to look at her.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I'll take Dahu and the others over, you and Ergou can sleep."

Qin Canglan cleared his throat and whispered, "...I sleep even worse."

Su Xiaoxiao carried the three sleeping kids to the next room and asked Xiao Weizi and A Zhong to set up a small bamboo bed for Qin Canglan in the room.

That is an extended bamboo bed.

Qin Canglan lay down on it, the bamboo bed disappeared, and half of his legs were hanging in the air.

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

Qin Canglan didn't go to bed obediently.

After Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep, he tiptoed out of the yard, went to the second floor of the lobby like a thief, and sat in front of Su Cheng's bed until dawn.

Su Xiaoxiao went to bed around the time of Mao, so she naturally got up late the next day.

In the palace school, companions were not allowed to be late or leave early, so Qin Canglan entered the palace.

Today is a day off, and Emperor Jingxuan rarely gets to go to bed early.

...He wanted to sleep.

But he was woken up by Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu reported in a coy voice: "Your Majesty, the old Duke of the Protectorate wants to see you."

Emperor Jingxuan didn't want to pay attention.

After a while, Eunuch Fu came back and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei wants to see you."

The two elders had long ceased to be involved in state affairs. If they occasionally saw him for something, it would usually be after he had left court. They would never come early in the morning on a day off to disturb people's sleep.

But at the same time they asked to see him, and Emperor Jingxuan wondered if something big had happened.

He forced himself to stay awake and dragged his exhausted body to the imperial study to meet the two of them.

"My two dear ministers, what happened?" Emperor Jingxuan's expression was very serious.

The old marquis cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there was an accident in the western suburbs of the capital last night. I'm sure you've heard about it."

Emperor Jingxuan wanted to say that I haven't...

Old Marquis: "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it."

Emperor Jingxuan thought the old marquis’ next sentence would be: I’ll tell you.

Old Marquis: "I didn't come here for this."

Emperor Jingxuan: “…”

The old marquis said solemnly, "My niece's granddaughter was also on the scene rescuing people and was busy all night. I'm here to ask for leave for her."

The corner of Emperor Jingxuan's mouth twitched.

"Where is Qin Aiqing?"

He looked at Qin Canglan.

Qin Canglan said seriously: "This old minister is also here to ask for leave for my granddaughter."

Emperor Jingxuan: “……!!”

You two veterans of the battlefield, you came to the palace early in the morning to wake me up, just to let your little girl sleep in? !

Where is my consciousness?! Do you two still have any consciousness as subjects?!

Also, do you know how terrifying it would be if the two of you went to the palace together to meet the emperor?

I thought there was going to be a war at the border!

Emperor Jingxuan was so angry that he cursed in his heart! Emperor Jingxuan ruthlessly kicked the two out.

The two old guys were so angry so early in the morning that it was impossible for me to go back for a nap.

"Isn't the boss back?" asked Emperor Jingxuan.

Eunuch Fu said hurriedly, "Yes, His Highness came to the palace to pay his respects to you last night. You went to bed, and His Highness asked me not to disturb you. He will come to see you again today."

Emperor Jingxuan said: "Let him come to the palace."

Eunuch Fu responded, "Yes."

Emperor Jingxuan paused, and then said, "Let the third brother come as well."

Eunuch Fu bowed and said, "Your servant obeys your command." -The crime scene in the cellar was too shocking. Some of the skeletons were complete, while others had been damaged for various reasons and required a coroner to piece together the bones.

The coroner performed an on-site autopsy and pieced together the bones, and was busy until the early morning of the next day. Seeing that more and more people were gathering to watch, the Jingzhao Prefecture ordered the bones to be transported back to the government office first.

"Have you heard? That half-renovated attic is really haunted!"

"You believe this too?"

"My uncle saw it with his own eyes! The officials from the yamen dug up bones and laid them all over the ground. There were so many dead people underneath. How could there not be ghosts?"

Inside the teahouse, people were discussing the matter heatedly. Some believed it, while others did not. The situation became intense for a while.

Compared to this shocking case, last night's assassination did not cause such a big splash. After all, the assassination happened at night and few people saw it.

"Why did the government officials suddenly go there?"

A businessman asked in the teahouse.

A young man said, "It is said that two students from the Imperial College had a fight and the attic collapsed. They were trapped under the rubble, and the officials rushed to rescue them, and they dug up those bones. Many officials were injured, and the Renxin Hall was full of injured people!"

"How did you get hurt?"

“Not sure…”

"It can't be haunted..."

Some things become more and more outrageous as they are passed around.

Su Xiaoxiao knew nothing about this and she slept until noon.

While half asleep, I felt something furry rubbing against my cheek.

She raised her hand and touched it.

One, two, three little heads.

"mother!"

Da Hu rubbed his head against her palm and shouted.

Erhu also went to rub against it.

Xiaohu couldn't get it, so he grabbed her other one and put it on his own head.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the three cute little guys, and greeted them in a lazy and hoarse voice.

"Big Tiger, Second Tiger, Little Tiger."

The three of them lay beside her pillow, looking at her cutely.

The curtains were drawn in the room, and the light was very dim. However, from the bright gaps, one could still tell that it was getting late.

Su Xiaoxiao whispered, "Didn't you go to school today?"

"It's time to go home from school!" said Dahu.

"We only have half a day of school today," said Erhu.

"Yeah!" said Xiaohu.

Although the three little ones did not wait for their mother before going to bed, when they woke up, they found themselves lying on the same bed with their mother.

Their mood was instantly healed and they were extremely excited the whole day, but they were very well behaved and did not wake up their mother.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three people's bright eyes and could feel the joy in their hearts. Su Cheng protected their emotions and young hearts very well.

Who said her father was a rough guy? He was so thoughtful and considerate.

Su Xiaoxiao touched their little heads one by one, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

Xiaohu sat up cross-legged, pointed at his head, and said worriedly, "Uncle Ergou, Xiu (was) hurt! There's blood!"

There was a circle of gauze wrapped around Su Ergou's head after he had stitches. It might be that he touched the wound at night, causing blood to seep out.

Xiaohu frowned and said bitterly, "Uncle Ergou, it hurts!"

Xiaohu is the youngest and his language talent awakened the latest. Often, his two older brothers have finished speaking before it is his turn, and then he can only say “um” or “ah”.

This time, he finally managed to finish his words before his two brothers.

Su Xiaoxiao got up, washed up and went next door to see Su Ergou.

Doctor Fu has already finished giving Su Ergou today's IV drip and changed the dressing on his wound.

The injury on the back of the head is the most serious, but there are no signs of infection for the time being. The other abrasions and scratches are not serious.

It's because the back and chest were pressed for too long, causing large areas of soft tissue contusion. It wasn't obvious yesterday, but today, I saw large areas of bruises, which was shocking.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to chop Qin Yun to pieces.

"Sister." Su Ergou woke up.

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Ergou wanted to shake his head, but as soon as he did, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.

"Don't move!" Su Xiaoxiao held him down.

"Oh." Su Ergou lay on his side obediently and did not move, "Sister, I don't want to eat, please don't do it."

Su Xiaoxiao touched his forehead and it wasn't hot.

She felt a little relieved.

She glanced at Su Ergou and said, "Okay, I won't cook it. Let Master Cao cook it. What do you want to eat?"

Su Ergou: "Sour soup dumplings."

Having an appetite is a good thing. Su Xiaoxiao went to the back room and asked Chef Cao to make a bowl of vegetarian dumplings for Su Ergou, but without sour soup. It is better to eat light food when recuperating.

The three little ones also hope that their uncle can get better soon.

Dahu contributed his private stash of candies, and Erhu gave away his lucky stones.

Xiaohu...Xiaohu has nothing.

He is so poor.

No, he has brothers! Two brothers! He is really the smartest little tiger in the world!

He lay on the bed, kicking his feet, and said, "Uncle, I'll give Dahu and Erhu to you."

Su Ergou: “…”

A moment later, Xiaohu received a care package from his brother.

Xiaohu covered his butt and limped out of the house, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Why did he get beaten?

Woo woo woo.
