Xiao Duye finally realized that he had been tricked by Wei Ting and Qin Canglan. He originally had some doubts about what Protector He said, but now he completely believed the fact that the Qin and Wei families had already been in collusion with each other.

"hateful!"

He banged his fist on the table.

"They all joined Xiao Chonghua, right?"

He gritted his teeth.

"Your Highness." The trusted guard stood beside him and asked worriedly, "Will the White Lotus Cult bite out Your Highness?"

Xiao Duye said with a gloomy face: "Only Guardian He knows my identity. I have always worn a mask, and no one else has ever seen my face. If you really want to accuse me, I will just deny it."

The trusted guard said: "Over there, Guardian He——"

Xiao Duye said firmly: "He won't betray me."

In the torture chamber of the Dali Temple, Protector He was tied to an iron chair.

Xiao Chonghua looked at him calmly: "My surname is He, and I am the Dharma Protector of the White Lotus Sect. I heard that there are eight Dharma Protectors in the White Lotus Sect. I wonder what is the ranking of Dharma Protector He?"

He Hufa snorted disdainfully: "What does it have to do with you?"

Xiao Chonghua said calmly: "You were betrayed by my eldest brother. I'm sure you know this."

"Haha!" Guardian He laughed sarcastically, "Your elder brother betrayed us, and then gave the credit to you? Third Prince, are you naive or am I stupid?"

Xiao Chonghua did not look panicked at all: "Because only in this way can we clear his suspicion and prevent you White Lotus Sect from doubting him. Look, you have been fooled, haven't you?"

Guardian He’s smile froze.

Xiao Chonghua persuaded him: "As long as you cooperate, I may be able to spare the lives of you and your men."

He Hufa said coldly: "Don't waste your time! The people of the White Lotus Sect are not afraid of death! You can kill or chop them up, it's all up to you!"

Xiao Chonghua looked at him with sharp eyes: "It doesn't matter if you are stubborn, I will torture you in Dali Temple one by one, and I don't believe you will not give in. Or... do you have something on me, my eldest brother?"

Protector He clenched his fingers.

…

Su Xiaoxiao stayed up too late, so she inevitably got up late the next day.

The three little ones have gone to school, and Su Cheng is practicing martial arts in the yard.

Su Xiaoxiao yawned and walked out: "Dad, you didn't go to the military camp today?"

"I'll go in a minute!"

Su Cheng was worried about his fat daughter and wanted to stay at home for a while longer.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao looking around, he said, "The son-in-law is out."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I'm not looking for Wei Ting."

Su Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Oh, Da Hu and the others went to school, and Er Gou also went to the Imperial College."

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Ergou went to class?"

Su Cheng said: "Your brother is fine now, don't worry about him!"

The truth is that Su Ergou was forced to take extra lessons by his two cousins ​​all day long. He was so overwhelmed that he quickly packed his bags and went to the Imperial College.

Su Mo's carriage stopped at the door.

Su Cheng took a look and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Are you going to the palace again today?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Send medicinal food to the Queen Mother."

After a period of treatment, the Empress Dowager's complexion has improved a lot, and her legs and feet are stronger. That is why the treatment cannot be interrupted. We must strike while the iron is hot and make full efforts to restore her body to health.

Su Xiaoxiao simply ate a corn cob and put the prepared medicinal meal on it.

When she went back to the house to get the medicine box, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the swallowtail dart on the table.

"Hmm, I forgot to ask Wei Ting if he recognized this."

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived at Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother was walking in the courtyard with the support of Eunuch Cheng.

As he walked, he never forgot to glance at the door.

Eunuch Cheng saw through it but didn't say anything.

After walking back and forth for who knows how many times, Su Xiaoxiao finally appeared.

"Your Majesty, you are up."

Su Xiaoxiao came over carrying a lunch box and a medicine box.

The little palace maid stepped forward and helped Su Xiaoxiao carry the medicine box and food box.

The Queen Mother said, "Don't you even look at the time?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I got up late today."

"I'm not talking about you." The Queen Mother sighed, "Never mind, why are you here?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I have to come here every day."

"I will take the medicine, so you don't need to watch me." The Queen Mother said, her eyes swept across the food box, "It's okay if I don't take the medicine for a day."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "I'm fine too."

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said pointedly, "I see, you just don't want to go to the palace school."

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "How could that be? I am concerned about the Queen Mother's phoenix body."

The Queen Mother sneered and turned to go into the bedroom.

"I heard that it was you who saved Hui'an."

“I guess so.”

Qin Canglan and Wei Ting also contributed a lot, it was definitely not her credit alone.

The Queen Mother sat back on the phoenix bed. Eunuch Cheng opened the food box and the Queen Mother said, "I will eat later."

Su Xiaoxiao felt the Queen Mother's pulse and measured her blood pressure: "You are recovering well. Keep taking medicine and take more walks like today."

The Queen Mother glared at her and said, "You want to tire me to death!"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. Look, he now has the energy to be fierce.

Eunuch Cheng chuckled.

The Queen Mother ordered: "You leave first."

"Yes, Queen."

Eunuch Cheng took the palace maids out of the bedroom.

The Queen Mother's face darkened. "What were you thinking? You went to rescue Hui'an alone. Don't you know that the White Lotus Sect is a dangerous place? Dozens of bodies were dug out from under the cellar where your brother had the accident. They were all members of the White Lotus Sect! Don't tell me. Haven't you heard of it?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I have heard of it..."

The Queen Mother became even angrier: "How dare you sneak into the White Lotus Sect alone? I think you are desperate!"

Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "Queen Mother, are you concerned about me?"

The Queen Mother said coldly, "I am concerned about my little grandchildren. I don't want them to lose their mother at such a young age! And Jingning, that girl almost left the palace to look for you, but I stopped her!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

Queen Mother: “…”

The empress dowager was not an ordinary old lady. She had experienced the succession of the throne. Both her husband and son became emperors. If you said she was a naive person, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression: "What are you doing?"

Su Xiaoxiao tucked the quilt for her: "I'll tell you when it's done."

"Empress Dowager, Liu Sande wants to see you."

The voice of Eunuch Cheng reporting came from outside the door.

"He's from Qixiang Palace. What is he doing here?" The Queen Mother frowned. "Let him in."

Liu Sande bowed and entered, and saluted with great fear and trepidation: "Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, what did Concubine Xian ask you to do?"

Liu Sande smiled awkwardly: "It was not Empress Xian who asked me to come here, it was...Princess Hui'an."

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Princess Hui'an is not feeling well, and would like to ask Doctor Su to go to Qixiang Palace."

Eunuch Cheng gasped. Oh my god, is he trying to snatch the doctor from the Empress Dowager?

In Qixiang Palace, Princess Hui'an wore a cloud-white dress embellished with blue gauze. She looked lively and fairy-like, so beautiful that one could not take their eyes away.

She sat on the bed with the quilt covering her waist.

"Princess, do you want to discard this jewelry? It's too much." said the little maid.

After the incident with Xiao Zhuozi, Empress Xian replaced all the palace maids around Hui'an, and this one is a new one.

"Mirror." Princess Hui'an said lightly.

Another young palace maid came forward holding a bronze mirror. Princess Hui'an looked at herself and frowned, "Take it off, change the headband! This one is so ugly!"

"Yes." The two were about to fix her hair when suddenly the eunuch outside called out, "Eunuch Liu is back!"

Princess Hui'an looked at the pile of jewelry on the quilt and urged, "Go, go, go! Go quickly! Take them all away!"

The palace maids hurriedly took the things away.

Princess Hui'an adjusted the tassels on her hair, folded her arms, raised her chin, and said arrogantly, "Did you bring the person here? I don't see every doctor. If it wasn't for the fact that the Imperial Hospital went to check on my father, mother, and all the other consorts, I wouldn't have let a little maid from the common people treat my injuries!"

After he finished speaking, there was no movement at the door.

She coughed again, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you come in? Do you want me to come and greet you personally?"

The other party came in.

Princess Hui'an caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure from the corner of her eye, looked up at the sky and said, "That's better!"

She stretched out a noble jade hand and said, "Take my pulse."

"I see you are in good spirits. There is no need to take your pulse."

A devilish voice rang above Princess Hui'an's head. Princess Hui'an was so frightened that her body trembled and she almost fell off the bed.

She steadied herself and turned her head away in disbelief: "Why, why is it you?!"

Princess Jingning said expressionlessly: "Are you disappointed to see me?"

Princess Hui'an clenched her fists angrily and asked, "Where's that girl?"

"She had something to do and left the palace."

Princess Jingning asked her to leave the palace.

Just as Liu Sande finished delivering the message, news came from the palace gate: the old marquis and old lady Su and their party had returned to the capital, and Su Mo was waiting at the palace gate.

Princess Jingning happened to come to Yongshou Palace to visit the Queen Mother, so she asked Su Xiaoxiao to go back quickly to reunite with her family.

Princess Hui'an was so angry that she jumped up and said, "Did you do this on purpose?"

Princess Jingning said with ease, "Didn't you just say that you were looking for a civilian doctor because the Imperial Hospital was out of people? It just so happens that Imperial Doctor Zhu has checked my mother's pulse. Why not let him treat you?"

“Ahhhh!”

Princess Hui'an was so angry that she turned into a puffer fish.

I got up very early today and wanted to finish it before eight o'clock, but my stomach was so uncomfortable that I couldn't sit up and write.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.
