Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "He is the eunuch beside Princess Hui'an and has appeared in the palace school several times."
Not too often, because Princess Hui'an prefers to travel with little palace maids rather than little eunuchs.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes fell on the weapon dropped by the little eunuch, and then she realized that it was not a powerful weapon at all, but just a rolling pin.
"Princess Hui'an asked you to come?" Su Xiaoxiao asked coldly.
The young eunuch said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao pressed his head to the floor and said, "Tell me! Where is Princess Hui'an?!"
In the Tianzihao room on the second floor of Xiangyun Pavilion, Princess Hui'an was sipping tea boredly.
She had sneaked out of the palace, taking her third brother's token, and was now dressed as a palace maid. However, she was naturally beautiful, and even though she was wearing a palace maid's dress and a veil, she still couldn't hide her elegance.
When the waiter came to serve tea, he couldn't help but look at her twice.
Princess Hui'an said fiercely, "What are you looking at? If you look again, I will dig out your eyes!"
The waiter shrank his neck in fear and quickly put down the tea and went out.
Princess Hui'an grumbled in dissatisfaction: "What's going on? I've been gone for so long..."
Crunch——
The door was pushed open.
Su Xiaoxiao walked in with a calm expression.
Behind her followed the dejected young eunuch.
Princess Hui'an glanced at him and immediately sat up straight, saying with a straight face: "I asked you to catch someone, why did it take you so long? And! You didn't even know to tie him up with a rope!"
They did tie up someone, but the person being tied up was not Su Xiaoxiao, but Princess Hui'an's eunuch.
The young eunuch walked out from behind Su Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that his hands were tied and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, Princess Hui'an's face changed.
"How could this happen? Su Daya! What did you do to my people?!"
Su Xiaoxiao said indifferently: "I should be the one asking Princess Hui'an this question. In broad daylight, under the emperor's feet, Princess Hui'an actually instigated the eunuchs to commit murder in my carriage. Does Princess Hui'an have no law in her eyes?"
Princess Hui'an's eyes flashed: "Who, who did this to you? I just have something to tell you, so I sent someone to call you over!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Didn't you just say that you caught him?"
Princess Hui'an choked.
She folded her arms, turned her face away, and rolled her eyes: "Didn't you get caught?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to fart, just fart it quickly. I am not as idle as the princess."
"you……"
Princess Hui'an was furious.
My mother even said that she spoke rudely. I really should let my mother hear how rude this girl is!
Princess Hui'an looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a cold face and pride: "Since you are here, I will not beat around the bush with you. If you give up your engagement with Wei Ting, I can agree to one condition of yours! Or I can owe you a favor!"
Su Xiaoxiao almost laughed: "Is your favor so great?"
Princess Hui'an's eyes widened: "I am a princess!"
"So what?" Su Xiaoxiao asked nonchalantly.
Princess Hui'an had never seen such an arrogant person in her life! She frowned and said angrily: "Don't be ungrateful! If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the forfeit! This princess is patiently talking to you, you'd better listen! Otherwise, once this princess turns hostile, you won't be able to resist!"
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and smiled: "So all these years, the princess has been using her royal status to drive away her rivals?"
Princess Hui'an snorted, "So what? Go ask people on the street, is there any woman who dares to snatch my prince consort from me?"
After saying this arrogantly, she muttered quietly, "Except Guo Lingxi."
Guo Lingxi has the support of the Empress Dowager, and even her father protects her.
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky and sighed.
She is a little sleepy.
I thought I had caught a big fish, but it turned out to be a unruly princess.
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What if I don't agree?"
Princess Hui'an said with a fierce look on her face: "If you don't agree... the consequences will be very serious!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Oh? How serious is it?"
Princess Hui'an threatened: "I will make sure you can't stay in the capital!"
Su Xiaoxiao just left.
Princess Hui'an was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing at Su Xiaoxiao and saying, "You, you, you, you...I haven't finished what I'm saying yet! Who allowed you to leave?"
"Stop right there, Princess!"
"Come back!"
"You are not allowed to marry Wei Ting!"
"you--"
What? Su Xiaoxiao had already walked away.
Back in the carriage, Su Mo put down the peeled walnuts and asked, "Are you done?"
"Yeah." Su Xiaoxiao hummed, "I didn't think there would be anything wrong with Princess Hui'an, but just to be on the safe side, I went to take a look."
Su Xiaoxiao took the walnut jar and asked, "Is she always like this?"
Su Xiaoxiao picked up a walnut and said, "Then I am really amazing."
Su Mo laughed: "But you don't have to worry, Princess Hui'an is just a little bit willful and capricious, she is not vicious."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "As a princess, she will always have several powerful guards around her. If she really wanted to get rid of me, she wouldn't just send a little eunuch to capture me."
Su Mo said: "That's the truth."
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.
This expression on her face was like a greedy little fat squirrel suddenly looking a little like a fox.
Su Mo was a little touched by it, and asked in a funny way: "What are you thinking about?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I was wondering, does that person not know that Wei Ting and I were arranged to be married?"
Su Mo thought for a moment and said, "The news has already spread in the capital. As long as he is in the capital, he must have heard about it. However, this matter is of great importance. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he may want to take a long-term view."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "I am impatient, this is only the first day."
After she finished speaking, she picked up another walnut, but her hand slipped and the walnut fell.
She hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but saw the rolling pin on the stool.
"Oh, I forgot to return the rolling pin to Princess Hui'an."
She picked up the walnuts along with the rolling pin.
In an instant, she sensed something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Su Mo asked.
She put the walnut jar back on the table and weighed the rolling pin in her hand.
Seeing this, Su Mo took the rolling pin and said, "It's so heavy. There seems to be something inside."
He turned the rolling pin in his hand over and over again and saw a very long and thin crack in the middle.
Just when he was about to fold the rolling pin along the crack, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed the rolling pin and threw it out!
With a snap, the rolling pin broke.
More than ten long needles were shot out, and one of them hit the carriage.
Su Mo slammed the table and shook it with one hand, causing the walnut jar to fly up.
He used his backhand to knock the walnut jar away.
The long needle hit the walnut jar, and with a bang, the jar broke into pieces and the walnut kernels scattered all over the floor.
Su Mo used his body to block Su Xiaoxiao.
When the noise stopped, he stood up and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Are you okay?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the broken nut kernels on the ground, her mouth drooped, and she said with a pained look: "My walnuts——"
Su Mo: “…”
The two men got off the carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao checked the long needles: "Poisonous."
Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully: "The rolling pin fell from the hands of a young eunuch, and the young eunuch was sent by Princess Hui'an... Could it be that Princess Hui'an wanted to kill me? No, if she had the intention to kill me, she wouldn't have reacted like that just now. There's something wrong with that young eunuch."
"There's something wrong with that little eunuch...Princess Hui'an is in danger."
…
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Quan stumbled in and fell to the ground.
Emperor Jingxuan was annoyed with him: "What happened this time?"
Eunuch Quan choked up and said, "Princess...Princess Hui'an is missing! Taohong was also knocked unconscious—"
Emperor Jingxuan said coldly: "Explain your words clearly!"
How could Eunuch Quan explain it clearly? He looked towards the imperial study: "Taohong is at the door, she knows!"
The little palace maid named Taohong was brought into the imperial study.
She fell to her knees and cried as she told the story of Princess Hui'an sneaking out of the palace.
"...On the way back to the palace, someone suddenly broke into the carriage and knocked me unconscious. When I woke up...the princess was gone...and Xiao Zhuozi was gone too..."
Emperor Jingxuan felt a wave of dizziness coming over him.
Hui'an was his most beloved daughter, more favored than several princes.
Emperor Jingxuan was furious: "Who allowed you to take the princess out of the palace? Who else knew about her leaving the palace except you?"
Tao Hong sobbed, "And... and Doctor Su! The princess sent Xiao Zhuozi to arrest her, and threatened... that if she didn't cancel her marriage with Lord Wei, she would not be able to stay in the capital!"
Eunuch Quan was horrified: "Ah, could it be...Princess Hui'an threatened her, and she got angry...and kidnapped Princess Hui'an?"
Go to bed early, the second update will be in the morning.
