Two major events occurred in the Dali Temple on this day.

The first thing was that the White Lotus Sect's Protector He was poisoned to death.

The second thing was that the Dali Temple found a villa of Protector He in the capital, and found a lot of evidence of collusion with court officials. A total of seven officials were implicated, six of whom were from the Imperial Guards, and the other was actually a clerk in the Dali Temple.

The entire six departments were a sensation.

Emperor Jingxuan summoned the Grand Court Minister and Xiao Chonghua.

On the carriage entering the palace, Jing Yi asked Xiao Chonghua: "Why don't you display the stolen goods of the prince?"

The jailer planned to use the death of Protector He to frame Xiao Chonghua, but since Xiao Chonghua already knew the plan, he would not let them succeed.

Jing Yi replaced the "evidence" of Xiao Chonghua's crimes with those of the officials.

Xiao Chonghua shook his head: "Do you think that if you find evidence of Xiao Duye's crimes, my father will depose him? He is my father's eldest son, and you don't quite understand his position in my father's heart. To deal with him, we need more evidence that will offend my father more."

"It's not all in vain. These people are Xiao Duye's minions. It's good if we can get rid of them."

We cannot return empty-handed. Since we cannot overthrow Xiao Duye, we have to reduce his power.

Jing Yi thought for a moment and asked, "As for Guardian He, does my cousin really intend to release him?"

The real Protector He did not die. The one who died was a death row prisoner who disguised himself as Protector He.

The coroner performing the autopsy is Xiao Chonghua's man and will help cover up the matter.

Xiao Chonghua stared and said, "Play the long game and catch the big fish. Just keep a close eye on him."

"Cousin." Jing Yi suddenly looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Chonghua asked.

"Are you sad?" Jing Yi asked.

Xiao Chonghua smiled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jing Yi said: "His Majesty has arranged a marriage between Wei Ting and her."

Xiao Chonghua lowered his eyes and smiled faintly: "If you mean losing the Qin family's military power, it is indeed a bit sad. However, it is not bad to cooperate with Wei Ting in this way."

Jing Yi stared at Xiao Chonghua without blinking, as if to see if he was really not attracted to Su Xiaoxiao. -Old Lady Wei was worried about Wei Xiyue, so she didn't sleep well all night and got up at dawn.

Madam Li advised, "You should get some more sleep. You look so tired. The young lady will be fine with Miss Su. Isn't the Second Young Madam here with her?"

"I'm always worried about this and can't sleep." Old Lady Wei looked at the unfinished calligraphy practiced by Wei Xiyue on the table and said with emotion, "This child has rarely left the house since she was born. She is not used to being outside and doesn't like to interact with strangers. Do you remember that when she was five years old, I invited several female teachers to teach her?"

Madam Li smiled and said, "Remember, the young lady started crying when she saw the gentleman, and in the end the gentleman didn't stay."

Old Lady Wei continued, "And when she was six years old, her mother took her back to her parents' home to visit her relatives. When she woke up and found that they were not in the mansion, she made a big fuss. She will definitely cry and make a fuss when she wakes up. I have to go and see."

Madam Li said, "I will help you wash and dress."

When Old Lady Wei came out, Chu and others had already gathered at the gate.

Old Madam Wei glanced at everyone, said nothing, and asked the servants to bring the carriage.

Since Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting's marriage was made public, the relationship between the two families no longer had to be concealed as before.

The spacious Wei family carriage drove all the way into Lihua Lane.

"Did you bring the crispy candies that Xiyue likes to eat?" asked Old Lady Wei.

"I brought it." said Mrs. Chu.

"Where is the flower drum?" asked Old Lady Wei again.

"I have it with me too." Jiang shook the small flower drum in her hand.

Old Lady Wei counted Wei Xiyue's gadgets one by one and reminded her, "If Xiyue starts crying later, remember to close the door first so as not to disturb the neighbors."

Several people nodded in unison.

They have experience in this and are very skillful at it.

However, when they arrived at the Su family, there was no trace of Wei Xiyue in the yard at all.

Several people were dumbfounded.

Old Lady Wei looked at Su Cheng who was feeding the horse and said, "Duke Protector of the Country, where is Xiyue?"

Su Cheng turned around: "You're here? Xiyue went to class."

Old Lady Wei was stunned: "What?"

Su Cheng said: "Go to class."

Ling Yun looked at the one, two, three little kids in front of him, as well as the little girl who appeared from nowhere, and his thin, handsome face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Da Hu said, "Sister Xiyue also wants to come to class."

After saying that, he took out the snacks that Su Xiaoxiao asked him to give to the master, "Mother said that this is Sister Xiyue's gift."

Ling Yun was about to refuse mercilessly.

Da Hu: “One box a day.”

Wei Xiyue sat cross-legged on Xiaohu's mat, and Xiaohu was held in her arms, like a little squirrel.

Ling Yun looked at Wei Xiyue.

Wei Xiyue also looked at Ling Yun.

Wei Xiyue couldn't understand Ling Yun's emotions, so she met his gaze so openly and without any guilt or fear at all.

Ling Yun said seriously: "Put him down, he will be able to sit up by himself."

Wei Xiyue didn't let go.

Ling Yun grabbed Xiaohu and stuffed Erhu into her arms.

"This one is better."

Wei Xiyue looked at Erhu. Although he was also a little kid, Wei Xiyue was a dedicated little master.

She fed Erhu three pine nuts, touched Erhu's head soothingly, and then replaced the little tiger back.

Ling Yun: “…”

On the other side, Wei Ting made a fortune in the gambling house and got up and left.

When he arrived at the alley where the carriages were parked, he saw the guys with bruised faces and noses all over the floor, and Jing Yi standing aside with a long sword in his hand and an expressionless face.

Wei Ting weighed the purse in his hand and smiled playfully: "Oh, thank you, Young Marquis Jing, for solving these troubles for me."

He won so much money, so the people in the gambling house naturally wouldn't let him leave easily.

Of course, if the people in the gambling house knew that he was the youngest son of the Wei family, they probably would not come here to die.

"It just happened." Jing Yi said lightly.

Wei Ting got on the carriage. Seeing that Jing Yi hadn't left, he opened the curtain and smiled nonchalantly: "What's the matter?"

Jing Yi handed him a note with a cold expression: "My cousin asked me to give it to you. You have helped my cousin twice. This time, my cousin will also report a piece of information to you. I got it from the mouth of the guardian He."

"Oh?" Wei Ting raised his eyebrows and took the note.

Jing Yi said: "There are people from the White Lotus Sect around you."

Wei Ting smiled faintly: "I knew this a long time ago."

Jing Yi added: "Higher than the guardian's level."

This surprised Wei Ting very much: "Captain?"

Jing Yi said: "At least."

Wei Ting asked: "What do you mean by at least? Could he be the leader?"

Jing Yi said: "He Guardian didn't say anything, but today, someone did give orders to He Guardian in the name of the leader. Generally speaking, only those who have reached the level of the helmsman can issue the leader's orders on behalf of others at critical moments."

"My cousin has asked someone out in the name of the Dharma Protector He, and he is at the place written on the note. My cousin will not interfere with the people and things around you for the time being, and he will also keep you and the Wei family secret. You can handle it yourself."

After saying that, Jing Yi turned and left.

Wei Ting opened the note.

"Master! Master! We've bought the candied haws! Are we going back to Lihua Lane?"

"Go to Yuemanlou."

"Huh?" Fusu was puzzled. "Why are we going there? It's so far!"

Wei Ting said calmly: "Catch Guo Huan."

Xiyue needs monthly tickets to buy pine nuts to feed the little tiger, please vote!
