Princess Jingning ignored her and turned to walk towards Kunning Palace.

Princess Hui'an was furious and chased after her, walking side by side with her: "Hey! I'm talking to you! What are you doing! Don't think that just because you helped my mother today, you can act so high and mighty in front of me! I, I, I... I'm not someone you can mess with!"

Princess Jingning stopped, glanced at her calmly, and said, "Are you done? If you are, I will go back to Kunning Palace. I don't know who put that dirty thing there. I have to find the person. I have a lot of things to do. If you just want to quarrel with me, I don't have time."

"I……"

Princess Hui'an choked.

Princess Jingning left without looking back.

The young eunuch said: "Princess, if Princess Jingning is gone, you will be the only princess, then -"

Princess Hui'an angrily scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about! Who can I quarrel with if she is gone? If she wants to die, it will be because of me! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will ask my mother to chase you away!"

The young eunuch didn't expect that his flattery would hit the horse's hoof. He was so scared that he fell to his knees and said, "I won't do it again! Princess, please spare me! Princess, please spare me! Princess, please spare me!"

Emperor Jingxuan in the imperial study suddenly sat down on the chair tiredly.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Fu's expression changed slightly, "Please take care of yourself!"

Emperor Jingxuan pinched his painful brow and said, "Call the third brother over."

"yes."

Eunuch Fu went to the Dali Temple in person to summon Xiao Chonghua.

Xiao Chonghua entered the imperial study and bowed respectfully to Emperor Jingxuan: "Father."

Emperor Jingxuan looked weary: "How is the case going?"

Xiao Chonghua said: "Guo Huan has not been caught yet. The Imperial Guards are cooperating with Jingzhao Prefecture to search for him."

Emperor Jingxuan asked, "Where is the captain that Qin Canglan captured? Did you get any information out of him?"

Xiao Chonghua paused and said, "The leader of the White Lotus Sect is on his way to the capital, or... he has already arrived. I tend to believe the former."

They turned the capital upside down but found no trace of Guo Huan. Instead, they found two carriages loaded with low-quality cloth and the bodies of several White Lotus masters in a forest outside the south gate of the city.

Xiao Chonghua judged that these people were escorting Guo Huan out of the city, but he didn't know what happened to them along the way and they were all killed.

Guo Huan also disappeared.

No matter what, Guo Huan must be going for the leader. His leaving the city means that the leader is also outside the city.

"It's the White Lotus Sect again!" Emperor Jingxuan was so angry that his blood boiled and his vision went dark.

"Father!" Xiao Chonghua quickly walked around to his side and raised his hand to support his shaky body, "Are you okay?"

Emperor Jingxuan steadied himself and removed the silk cloth covering the table, revealing the little man with long needles stuck in his body.

Xiao Chonghua was startled: "Jingning?"

The little figure was modeled after Princess Jingning, and you can recognize her at a glance without even looking at the birth date on the back.

Emperor Jingxuan's eyes were red with anger as he said, "The White Lotus Sect attacked Jingning. They are provoking the royal family!"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xiao Chonghua's handsome young face.

"Old Third, you want to be the emperor, right?"

Xiao Chonghua took a step back, knelt on his knees, and said devoutly: "Father, I wish you a long life. I have absolutely no such unreasonable thoughts!"

Emperor Jingxuan laughed sarcastically: "Really? If you don't want to be the emperor, why are you fighting with your two brothers?"

Xiao Chonghua said sternly: "I didn't, did your Majesty misunderstand?"

Emperor Jingxuan sneered: "Misunderstanding? Then going to Qingzhou to find the Wei family's military token was also a misunderstanding on my part?"

Xiao Chonghua's pupils trembled.

Emperor Jingxuan glanced at him and said, "Why? You want to ask me when I knew about it? It wasn't long ago. I just found out a few days ago. Otherwise, I would have punished you for deceiving the emperor when you were covering up for Wei Ting!"

Xiao Chonghua lowered his brows and did not try to defend himself.

"Do you know why I don't like you?"

This was the first time that Emperor Jingxuan openly admitted his dislike for Xiao Chonghua.

Xiao Chonghua whispered, "I don't know."

Emperor Jingxuan smiled and said, "Because you are so much like me when I was young, I know very well that you don't have as deep feelings for me as you show. You only have the throne in your heart, just like I did back then."

Xiao Chonghua said nothing.

Emperor Jingxuan looked solemnly at Xiao Chonghua who was kneeling on the ground: "Destroy the White Lotus Sect and kill every rebel in the White Lotus Sect, and the position of Crown Prince... will be yours!"

…

In May, the capital city has the heat of early summer.

Su Xiaoxiao happened to be at the palace gate.

She had just been to Yongshou Palace and sat with the Empress Dowager for a while.

Xiao Chonghua looked at her deeply, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and walked towards her as usual.

"Miss Su."

He said hello.

"Third Prince." Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.

Jing Yi was not here today, Xiao Zhonghua looked around and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Excuse me for a moment."

The two went to the side.

This isn't a sneaky place, but there aren't any coachmen or passersby here, so there's no need to worry about being overheard.

Xiao Chonghua said: "My father knows that Wei Ting went to Qingzhou."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "When did you know?"

Xiao Chonghua whispered, "I just learned the news not long ago. In addition, the Wei family's military token has also been exposed."

Su Xiaoxiao frowned.

Xiao Chonghua then asked, "Did Wei Ting go to Qingzhou to get the military token? If not, remember to say so in the future."

The military token has been put on display. Whether Wei Ting has other secrets or not, it will be the best cover-up.

"Thank you." Su Xiaoxiao said.

She knew that Xiao Chonghua had already seen that Wei Ting had other purposes in going to Qingzhou.

"Third Prince!"

She called out to Xiao Chonghua, "Be careful of the Second Prince's Mansion."

A trace of suspicion flashed across Xiao Chonghua's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "I understand."

"Third brother!"

The eldest prince, who had just left the palace, saw Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Chonghua here, and walked towards them with big strides.

Just now he went to visit Jade Concubine with the Crown Prince's wife and Qin Yanran, and has been staying in Jade Concubine's palace until now.

The eldest prince's wife got on her and Xiao Duye's carriage.

Qin Yanran was a concubine, so she could only wait until she got on the carriage before she could sit in the carriage behind.

Xiao Duye smiled and said, "Doctor Su is here too. Ah, should I call you Miss Qin?"

Xiao Duye tried to assassinate Su Cheng, but failed. However, Su Xiaoxiao was still too lazy to pay attention to him.

Otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her chubby fists.

Xiao Chonghua said: "My father asked me to investigate the White Lotus case. Miss Su's grandfather had fought with the White Lotus. I came to ask Miss Su for some clues."

This explains why the two of them are talking here alone.

Xiao Duye smiled and said, "No need to explain so much. Don't you know what kind of person you are? Isn't Jing Yi following you? The White Lotus Sect has been rampant recently, so you have to be careful."

Xiao Chonghua said calmly: "Thank you for your reminder, brother. I will."

Xiao Duye patted his shoulder and said, "It's nothing. Big brother is leaving first."

Suddenly, a small fallen leaf floated down.

Xiao Chonghua raised his hand to take it.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at the hand hanging above her head: "What?"

Xiao Chonghua smiled slightly: "Leaf."

In a carriage not far away.

Qin Yanran lifted the curtain and watched the scene without blinking. The jealousy in her eyes almost burned people to ashes.

Obviously, that girl also betrayed her engagement with him, so why did he treat her so differently?

Why did she live such a good life while I could only become a humble concubine?

Why! 　In the last two days of the month, if you still have monthly tickets, please support Xiao Xiao. Our Xiao Xiao is going to be a killer again! 　　Anyone else want to see the third update?
