The cold wind blew the lanterns under the corridor, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the swaying shadows of the trees.

There was silence in the warm room.

Su Xiaoxiao put her ear to the crack in the door.

Crunch——

The door opened from the inside.

Su Xiaoxiao staggered and nearly fell in, but she steadied herself in time and raised her hand to touch her head handsomely.

"I wasn't eavesdropping!" she said seriously, and then added, "You guys continue."

Wei Ting glanced at her and said, "That's it."

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Oh, Old Lady Wei has also gone to bed. I gave her some tranquilizing pills. I guess she won't be upset tonight."

"Let's go." Wei Ting grabbed her wrist through his sleeve and took her away.

Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao glanced into the room and saw a disheveled and emaciated figure and a pale and bloodless face.

Halfway through the walk, Su Xiaoxiao looked towards a courtyard and asked, "Should we..."

"No." Wei Ting refused without hesitation.

"Okay."

If you are sad tonight, I will follow your lead.

Just for one night, I won’t spoil you starting tomorrow.

Yuchi Xiu drove over in a carriage and waited outside the door.

Yuchi Xiu was subdued by Wei Ting five years ago, but he never admitted that he was a member of the Wei family. He was a killer who had signed a contract with Wei Ting... the second-ranked killer on the Six Kingdoms Killer List! He rarely made a sound and put the car seat away very quietly.

After Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao got on the carriage, he didn't ask where they were going and drove directly towards the Imperial Observatory.

Su Xiaoxiao sat obediently, scratching the ears of corn, pinching the pillow, and moving her feet restlessly.

Wei Ting said calmly: "Just ask whatever you want to ask."

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "No, nothing."

After a pause, she moved over and asked, "What kind of person is your grandfather?"

Wei Ting glared at her coldly: "Didn't you eavesdrop?"

Su Xiaoxiao said confidently: "The sound wants to get into my ears, what can I do?"

Wei Ting: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao moved closer to him: "I've never heard you mention your grandfather before."

The people she heard about the most were General Wei and his sixth brother. The other brothers were not often mentioned, but they were all mentioned.

On the contrary, it was his maternal grandparents' home——

Wei Ting said: "I don't remember clearly. He lived in Lingnan. I have only been to Lingnan once in my life."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "When?"

Wei Ting replied: "Born."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

Wei Ting said: "My mother gave birth to me in Lingnan. After I returned to Beijing when I was one month old, I never went to Lingnan again."

"Is it because your mother won't come back to visit her parents?"

"She went back, but she never took me with her. She had taken my brothers back before, but after I was born, her relationship with the Wei family faded, and she no longer took my brothers back to Lingnan."

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Is your grandfather from Beijing?"

Wei Ting said: "Yes, but he later settled in Lingnan. I heard from my brothers that grandpa was a very good person, humorous, handsome, kind, well-read, and a famous gentleman in Lingnan."

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Have your brothers met your grandfather?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "My mother's personality changed drastically after she gave birth to me. Before that, she took my brothers back to Lingnan."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Come to think of it, why did you guess it was your grandfather?"

Wei Ting pondered for a moment. "I didn't want to guess my grandfather at first. I was going to guess my uncle, but then I thought, my uncle died many years ago. He was killed by a gang. The reason why my mother knew my father was because my grandfather wiped out that gang. My grandfather was grateful to him for avenging his own son and insisted on inviting him to our house. My grandfather said he was just doing justice and there was no need to be so polite. But he couldn't resist my grandfather's kindness. After a while, the two became close friends. Later, my father and mother got married."

"I see."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask any further questions.

She gently held Wei Ting's hand.

"What?" Wei Ting asked in a cold tone.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you see it? I'm comforting you. Don't forget it."

Su Xiaoxiao was about to pull her hand back, but was held by Wei Ting's cold fingers.

The two arrived at the Imperial Observatory.

Su Xiaoxiao went to see Qin Canglan.

Doctor Fu had just removed the needle from Qin Canglan's body and his condition had not deteriorated for the time being.

"He has a strong will to survive," said Doctor Fu.

When he saw Qin Canglan's injuries, he was really shocked. When he heard that the dagger was poisoned, he became more worried that Qin Canglan would not survive the night.

But judging from Qin Canglan's blood pressure and pulse, he was trying very hard to stay.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Cheng who was sleeping on the bed and said, "Yes, my father is still waiting for him to wake up. We are all waiting for him to wake up."

"You've been busy all day, go and take a rest, I'll just watch over here."

"Thank you, Master."

Doctor Fu was now very receptive to the title of Master: "Oh, by the way, is Lord Wei okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Is it obvious?"

Doctor Fu pointed behind Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and Xiaopang's body shook.

Wei Ting stood at the door in pain, his hand was caught by the door...

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

…

Su Xiaoxiao didn't lie down until dawn. Doctor Fu didn't call her, intending to let her have a good sleep.

My body doesn't seem to be so tired anymore, and it seems that my physical condition has improved a lot.

After she finished washing up, she heard a disciple's voice outside the door: "Doctor Su, someone is looking for you."

"who?"

"It's a lady."

Su Xiaoxiao never expected that the person who came was Mrs. Wei.

Madam Wei gently placed the removed curtain on the table.

She hadn't slept all night, and her eyes were full of red bloodshot, and the dark blue under her eyes was also very obvious.

Su Xiaoxiao sat down with her at the round table and poured her a cup of tea.

"Are you here to see Wei Ting?"

"I came to see you. I have something to tell you... It's about Grandpa Wei Ting."

Su Xiaoxiao listened attentively.

Madam Wei picked up the hot tea on the table, as if trying to draw a bit of warmth from it: "Did you hear everything we talked about yesterday?"

Su Xiaoxiao coughed lightly: "I don't have the habit of eavesdropping on others..."

Madam Wei said indifferently, "Are you curious about what is going on?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I already said I didn't eavesdrop... Why did he not even let his own grandson go?"

Madam Wei shook her head slightly: "No, he was not responsible for the death of Wei Ting's brothers. It was Bei Yan. The only people he wanted to deal with from the beginning to the end were Wu Anjun and Wei Xu."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Wei Xu?"

"Wei Ting's father." Mrs. Wei said dejectedly.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Is he doing this for power?"

Madam Wei confessed, "It's for power and revenge. I wonder if Wei Ting has ever told you how I met Wei Xu?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "I mentioned that your brother was killed by a gangster organization, and General Wei happened to lead his troops to wipe out that gangster organization. Your father was grateful to General Wei for avenging his son, so he got to know him."

Madam Wei said bitterly: "This is just an appearance. The truth is that the leader of that underworld organization is my father."

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised.

The predecessor of the White Lotus Sect.

From this point of view, the leader of the White Lotus Sect was not grateful to Wu Anjun, but hated Wu Anjun to death.

Madam Wei said, "My brother died tragically at the hands of Lord Wu An. My father vowed to avenge my brother, but how could the Wei family be so easy to deal with?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment: "So your father married you to me?"

Madam Wei whispered, "Yes. But later, his ambition swelled. He was not satisfied with overthrowing Wu Anjun. He wanted more power and a higher status... It was only when I gave birth to Wei Ting that I accidentally discovered his secret and knew that I was just a pawn of his."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her and said, "Is this why you distance yourself from your son? Are you afraid that he will harm Wei Ting and his brothers, or that he will use them to threaten you?"

Madam Wei shook her head again: "I'm afraid he will use me to threaten them."

Su Xiaoxiao understood.

The men of the Wei family will inherit the Wei family in the future, and that man is very ambitious. If he forces them to rebel, the consequences will be disastrous.

Mrs. Wei deliberately alienated her sons in order to dilute their feelings for her, making them indifferent to her or even hate her, so that the man would not be able to use her to coerce them.

"But I still failed. I didn't protect them well..." Madam Wei's voice gradually choked, "What have I done all these years? If I had known this would happen... why would I have..."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The world is unpredictable."

You can't just stop trying just because your efforts yield no results. Not everyone is born a conspirator who can plan everything for the best.

What's more, the death of Wei Ting's brothers was not something that Mrs. Wei had expected, and that man probably didn't expect it either.

If he had not plotted against Wu'an Jun and Wei Xu, he would not have harmed his grandchildren.

This is probably the result of seeking the skin of a tiger. I wonder if he has ever regretted it.

"Wei Ting is next door. Do you... want to go see him?" Su Xiaoxiao said, and then added, "He's asleep."

Mrs. Wei adjusted her mood and went next door.

Wei Ting was lying peacefully... uh no, safely on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Mrs. Wei was afraid of waking him up, so she tiptoed to the bedside. Then she saw the pair of hands wrapped like big dumplings.

Her eyebrows jumped: "What's wrong with him?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Oh, I got caught in the door."

Madam Wei sat down on the stool in front of the bed and looked at him intently.

After a moment, Mrs. Wei asked strangely, "Are you sure he just fell asleep? Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"He went through a lot last night and must be very sad. In order to let him sleep better, I gave him a small handful of...soothing incense." Su Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the small incense burner and looked at the half-full jar of incense ash. The corners of her mouth twitched.

Her hands were shaking last night, and she put so much in it?

This dose is enough to stun a cow.

Su Xiaoxiao silently closed the lid of the incense burner and said weakly, "Really, it's really just a handful..."

Wei Ting, that unlucky kid, why was he so unhappy last night?

The assassination of Qin Canglan caused an uproar in the capital, and rumors spread that he would not survive.

Guo family.

Prime Minister Guo said coldly: "If he survives, do you know what will happen to you?"

Guo Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandfather. Qin Canglan will definitely die."

Prime Minister Guo asked, "How do you know?"

Guo Huan smiled confidently and said, "The Supervisor has predicted Qin Canglan's fate. His star is dim and a great general will surely fall. I am following the will of heaven!"

Seven days later.

A cool evening.

Qin Canglan opened his eyes slightly.

At this moment, God will awaken!

It's the end of the month. If you don't vote for the monthly ticket, it will be cleared. Vote for the God General to make him more powerful! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
