Su Xiaoxiao's first reaction was, could it be that the leader had also sent some news to Guo Huan? She calmly grasped the dagger in her sleeve.

Once the truth is revealed, she will take a hostage.

Wei Ting said indifferently, "Why are you looking at me? It wasn't me who asked Captain Chen to come here today. It was Captain Chen who asked me to come here. I think Captain Chen already has a plan."

Su Xiaoxiao secretly gave her husband a thumbs up, you are still taller.

Captain Chen hesitated to speak, looked at Wei Ting strangely, and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, what happened in the Dali Temple that day? Did you really kill Wei Ting?"

Wei Ting looked impatient: "He is my cousin in public. Am I killing him because I think I am not exposed fast enough? I was drugged..."

Captain Chen frowned and asked, "Who drugged you? Wei Ting? Did he suspect you?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "Given Wei Ting's personality, if he really doubts me, do you think he won't kill me on the spot?"

Captain Chen thought about the rumors he had heard about Wei Ting and felt that this man was indeed a fearless person.

How could he know that Wei Ting was not afraid of trouble, but he did not act impulsively. The impression people had of him was just the impression he wanted people to see.

Captain Chen was puzzled: "Who is behind this?"

Wei Ting said: "Does anyone else in the capital know that I am from the White Lotus Sect?"

Captain Chen asked, "Do you suspect the brothers of the White Lotus Sect?"

Wei Ting smiled faintly: "The brothers of the White Lotus Sect are all loyal and will not do anything to harm me. Even if they have other intentions, they don't have the ability to reach out to Wei Ting. Ah, except for you, the martial arts master Chen."

This is a very well said statement.

While questioning Captain Chen, they did not forget to compliment him.

Captain Chen glared at Wei Ting and said, "I didn't do anything to you! I just can't stand you, but I won't kill you!"

If the leader knew about this, wouldn’t he be skinned alive?

The White Lotus sect forbids killing each other.

Even if Guo Huan ordered the death of Dharma Protector He, it was for a legitimate reason.

Wei Ting said: "I heard that on the day when Protector He was captured, it was the eldest prince who revealed the news to Wei Ting and Qin Canglan."

Captain Chen frowned again: "Do you suspect the eldest prince?"

Wei Ting spoke immediately: "Wei Ting and the Third Prince have shown signs of cooperating. The First Prince wants to weaken the Third Prince's power, so he wants to use me to get rid of Wei Ting. Isn't that surprising? Of course, the above is just my personal guess. Why don't you contact the First Prince?"

Captain Chen pondered and said, "It was Protector He who had been in contact with the First Prince. After Protector He died, we lost contact with the First Prince. But there is one thing, he does not know your identity as a White Lotus Sect member."

Wei Ting picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Oh?"

Another important piece of information.

Captain Chen smiled and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. I will investigate. I asked you to come here today because the leader has issued a new mission."

"Is it issued to you?"

Wei Ting appropriately expressed a bit of jealousy.

Judging from the two's attitude towards "Guo Huan", Guo Huan's status in the White Lotus Sect is obviously higher than the two of them. It doesn't make sense that when the leader issued a task, Chen Duzhu received it but Guo Huan was unaware of it.

The real Guo Huan has most likely already received the mission.

"Hmph!" Wei Ting placed the teacup heavily on the table.

Boss Lin felt uneasy.

Captain Chen was very pleased with Guo Huan's jealousy: "Maybe he saw that you were sick and couldn't bear to see you work so hard. It's definitely not because he saw that you were almost exposed, so he was disappointed in you."

There was a murderous look in Wei Ting's eyes.

"Let's talk business! Let's talk business!" Boss Lin was afraid that the two men would fight again.

Captain Chen enjoyed the pleasure of being superior to Guo Huan, and said wantonly: "The statue of Emperor Taizu has been destroyed. Seven days later, Emperor Jingxuan will lead all the civil and military officials to the Huguolong Temple to pray for the Great Zhou and re-enshrine a statue of Emperor Taizu. The order issued by the leader this time is... to assassinate Emperor Jingxuan!"

…

Su Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that Wei Ting could get so much information out of her after just a single meeting tonight.

He is worthy of being the youngest top scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There is no doubt that the traitor in the Wei family is Guo Huan. It was he who stole the seal of General Wei.

But based on the conversation between the two, he only stole the commander's seal, and the person who actually forged the secret letter of treason and provoked the relationship between the Wei and Qin families was the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

This does not mean that Guo Huan is innocent.

General Wei loved him so much, but in the end, he was stabbed in the back by him. It is really unforgivable!

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Just now, Captain Chen said that Guo Huan killed someone of the White Lotus Sect leader. It's strange. Since Captain Chen doesn't like Guo Huan, why didn't he just tell the leader about Guo Huan's secret?"

Wei Ting analyzed: "There are two possibilities: First, Captain Chen wants to use Guo Huan as leverage to get Guo Huan to do things for him; second, even if the leader knows, Guo Huan will not die."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "If it is the latter, the relationship between Guo Huan and the leader of the White Lotus Sect is extraordinary."

Thinking of something, she continued, "Tell me, why did Guo Huan join the White Lotus Sect? He is the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister and the heir apparent of the Guo family. What good would it be for him to join the White Lotus Sect? Could it be... for Princess Hui'an?"

Prime Minister Guo did not agree with Guo Huan being the son-in-law of the emperor.

Because once he became a royal consort, it meant that he would be a rich and idle man for the rest of his life and would not be able to set foot in the court.

This is not what Prime Minister Guo wants to see.

Guo Huan himself might not want to be a powerless prince consort.

Guo Huan wanted both power and the princess, so he joined the White Lotus Sect.

Of course, these are just her guesses. Only Guo Huan himself knows what he thinks.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"The assassination will be carried out in seven days." Wei Ting said thoughtfully, "What hatred does the White Lotus Sect have with the imperial court? What hatred does it have with the royal family? Why must they kill the emperor?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Maybe their leader wants to be the emperor himself."

This guess is bold.

Wei Ting fell into deep thought.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, "By the way, before you got on the carriage just now, did Boss Lin give you something? He said it was a gift to you? Was it this?"

After saying that, she picked up a small box on the table and slowly opened it.

"Mmm, it smells so good."

Wei Ting also smelled the fragrance.

He frowned and wanted to stop her but it was too late. Su Xiaoxiao had already taken a deep breath into the box.

Wei Ting hurriedly took the box and closed it!

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting: "What?"

Wei Ting's eyelashes trembled: "It's medicine, don't smell it."

Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Did Boss Lin give you drugs?"

"No...that is..." Wei Ting hesitated.

"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at him blankly.

Wei Ting closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "It's the acacia incense... used to help with sexual pleasure. You only took one puff, it should be fine."

After a pause, he stood up and said, "I'll go sit down, you stay for a while."

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed his sleeve and looked at him with a half-smile: "Didn't you say I only took one puff and nothing would happen? Then why are you hiding?"
