Chapter 539: The Family Returns to Beijing (Update 1)



Su Xiaoxiao and the others returned to the Wei family.

Not to mention Su Xiaoxiao, Li has also been in a lot of trouble these past two days.

The people who usually took care of the child at home didn't feel that way, but now that the child has been taken to the palace, she is worried about leaving him with this person or that person. Li was so worried that she swore that she would never take the child out again in her life.

Unless you bring the whole family along.

"Grandma!"

The three little kids ran into Old Lady Wei's room and threw themselves into her arms.

"My dear little great-grandson, come here and let grandma see if you have lost weight!" Old Madam Wei treated her grandchildren like treasures. She held them in her lap one by one and affectionately treated them for a while. She did not favor one over another towards Wei Xiyue.

Then she looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Li, who had dark circles under their eyes, and wondered, "What did you two do? Were you beaten up?"

Li thought that it would be fine if she was beaten up, and she could beat back together with her seventh brother's wife.

Li couldn't hold on any longer. She yawned and said groggily, "Grandma, I'm going to go back first. I'll leave Xiyue and the others to you. You don't need to call me for lunch."

She needs to catch up on some sleep.

Su Xiaoxiao also wanted to go back and catch up on some sleep, but she had something else to do.

"You're not leaving?" Old Madam Wei looked at Su Xiaoxiao strangely.

I'll leave right away...Su Xiaoxiao smiled.

Old Lady Wei refused with a look of rejection: "Don't laugh, you look creepy."

Su Xiaoxiao took out the mahogany mirror and looked at it. Xiaopang was shocked and almost shouted, "Who is this female ghost?" She put away the mirror, coughed lightly, glanced at the four children playing with building blocks nearby, and sighed casually, "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, Dahu and the others are three years old. If King Nanyang were still alive, he would be very happy to see them."

Old Lady Wei also looked at the four children and saw that they were concentrating on playing and didn't pay attention to the adults' conversation. She said, "Why did you bring up this suddenly?"

"Oh, Sixth brother mentioned it on the way back." Su Xiaoxiao shifted the blame without any psychological burden.

Old Madam Wei made a note of the Sixth Child in her heart again, thinking why did he bring up this matter for no reason? What if the children heard it?

"I want to ride a bike!"

Xiaohu thought of everything and ran out quickly.

Da Hu complained about his brother: "You are always like this. If you can't win, you won't play!"

Having said that, I decided to go find Xiaohu with Erhu and Wei Xiyue.

Now that the children were gone, Old Lady Wei could talk about the Prince of Nanyang without any worries: "What a twist of fate."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What kind of person was the King of Nanyang when he was alive?"

Old Lady Wei recalled, "He was a very filial child. The late emperor had many children, and he was the smartest one. Don't look at Xiao Qi as the top scholar at the age of seventeen. The Prince of Nanyang did not take the imperial examination, otherwise it is hard to say whether Xiao Qi would be the youngest top scholar."

Old Madam Wei doesn't praise people easily, especially not taking Wei Ting as a control group. She just likes to complain about Wei Ting in front of him, but she is very proud of him behind his back.

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "The King of Nanyang is so powerful?"

Old Lady Wei said, "Yes, who wouldn't praise the late emperor for having a good son?"

Prince Nanyang disguised himself well... Su Xiaoxiao did not get much useful information. Regarding the fact that Prince Nanyang was still alive, Su Xiaoxiao decided not to tell Old Lady Wei for the time being.

The people that King Nanyang wanted to kill were those who had seen the late emperor's will. The women of the Wei family were not within his scope of killing.

Su Xiaoxiao went back to catch up on her sleep.

When she passed the courtyard of the big house on the way, she caught a glimpse of a tall and lonely figure.

It's a terrifying ghost.

He stood at the gate of the yard, staring inside in a trance.

Su Xiaoxiao came to him and said, "The kumquat tree in the yard was planted by my sister-in-law. She said you loved kumquats. Even though you can no longer eat them, she still planted them with care."

Wei Liulang had already told him everything about the Chu family, including the identities of Madam Wei and Mo Guiyuan. He had not hidden anything from him.

Gui Bu said calmly: "I haven't recovered my memory."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

The ghost turned and walked away.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced around and saw Madam Wei standing not far away with a basket of kumquats. She seemed to want to come over but was hesitant.

She looked at her eldest son's departing back, a trace of sadness flashing across her eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao went over and greeted her: "Mom."

Madam Wei concealed the sadness in her eyes and said, "Xiaoxiao, how was your trip to the palace?"

"Very good." Su Xiaoxiao said, "Mom, don't be sad. We all know that big brother has recovered his memory, he just doesn't admit it. When he completes his mission as a death warrior, he will recognize us."

So, what exactly is Guibo's mission? No, she wasn't curious at all.

Mrs. Wei smiled bitterly and did not respond.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the heavy basket in her hand and said, "I'll take it to Big Brother later."

Madam Wei said hurriedly, "This basket of kumquats is for you. Xiaoliu has already sent it to your eldest brother."

Among the three sons, only Wei Liulang is the thickest-skinned. He has no grudges against anyone and gets along well with his brothers and elders.

"Thank you, mother." Su Xiaoxiao took the basket.

Madam Wei hesitated to speak, took a few steps, then turned to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Thank you very much... for taking care of Xiaoqi."

When Wei Ting came back from his work, he saw the kumquats on the table. He looked at the fat peacock in confusion: "Did you pick them?"

Su Xiaoxiao said one after another, her cheeks puffed up: "My mother sent it to me."

Wei Ting sat on the stool next to her and held Jinju in his arms in a domineering manner: "Mine."

The young couple was eating kumquats in the house. As they were eating, Wei Ting suddenly felt a palpitation.

He frowned subconsciously and rubbed his chest with his palm.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed his strangeness, looked at him and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Don't pretend to be sick just to snatch the kumquat from me! I won't fall for it!"

The self-torture tactic is useless to her!

Wei Ting said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao paused while picking up the kumquat. She put it down and felt Wei Ting's pulse: "The pulse is a little rapid, but he doesn't look sick. Does your chest hurt?"

"It's not pain, it's just palpitations." Wei Ting said.

"No internal injuries?"

"No."

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, "This is weird, the pulse is obviously fine."

Not sick, not injured, but feeling unwell for no apparent reason...poisoned? That doesn't seem likely.

Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao took out the small box she had robbed from Sikong Yun from the first aid kit.

The moment Wei Ting held the small box in his hand, the little bug inside moved.

It's a Gu! The two looked at each other, and saw doubt in each other's eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao asked seriously, "Have you ever fought with a Gu Master?"

Wei Ting shook his head: "No, I didn't even meet him."

There was a traitor in Beiyan who colluded with the King of Nanyang and poisoned Moye and the two death warriors who were guarding Helian Ye. Who was this traitor? It could be no other than the poison master brought by Zhao Kangning.

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully: "He was able to put the poison on you without even meeting you. Either he put the poison on the King of Nanyang, or he put it on the road you had to pass."

Wei Ting remembered something: "Prince Nanyang deliberately led me out last night..."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "It seems that time has come."

Wei Ting said coldly, "I was wondering why he went to so much trouble to lure me out last night. He didn't have anything to say to me, and he didn't hurt me. It turned out that he was waiting here."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "King Nanyang wants to use Gu to control you."

Wei Ting had the army left by Wu'an Jun. Now that the truth had been revealed and the identity of King Nanyang was exposed, it was impossible for Wei Ting to hand over the military command to him.

In order to achieve his goal, he chose to use Gu to control Wei Ting.

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and said, "What a good plan. It seems that he hid in Helian Ye's room yesterday not only to wait for Helian Ye to die, but also to hook you. No, maybe even earlier. He could have killed Helian Ye, but he deliberately didn't kill him, just to lure us out."

Although she hated King Nanyang, she couldn't help but sigh that he was worthy of being the big boss who could play Mo Guiyuan in the palm of his hand. His scheming was simply amazing.

Wei Ting asked: "Do you know how to remove the poison?"

"Yes, I will..." Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said with some difficulty, "It's just that the method is a little... well."

Wei Ting said seriously: "I'm not afraid, come on."

I am afraid... Who can stand it if you have no restraint in in-depth communication? But she couldn't find another way to cure Wei Ting.

She sighed, made up her mind, and told him the method to detoxify.

Wei Ting looked at her inexplicably.

After a while, he sighed and reflected seriously: "It's my fault. I ignored you after the wedding. Since we are husband and wife, it is normal for you to want to have sex. There is no need to make this excuse."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

Posthouse.

Zhao Kangning paced back and forth in the room, feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"who?"

"Princess, it's me."

Zhao Kangning felt relieved: "Come in."

The Gu Master pushed the door open and walked in.

Zhao Kangning looked him up and down and asked impatiently, "Where have you been these past two days? I haven't seen you since yesterday morning."

"I'm going to follow Jing Yi." said the Gu Master.

"Did you succeed?" Zhao Kangning asked.

The Gu Master said helplessly: "Jing Yi seems to be favored by Prince Li of the Western Jin Dynasty. He always stays by Prince Li's side, so I don't have the chance to attack him. Princess, don't be angry. I have another good news."

Zhao Kangning asked coldly: "What good news?"

The Gu Master smiled and said, "I put a Gu on Wei Ting."

Zhao Kangning was stunned: "Really?"

The Gu Master smiled and said, "It is absolutely true. I have given him the Heart Gu. In less than three days, no, I should say after tonight, he will obey the princess's orders. Princess, wait for him to come to you tomorrow!"

The night was dim, and Su Xiaoxiao, who had devoted herself to the task of removing the poison, turned off the oil lamp in the house.

They had never had sex since their wedding, and they were suddenly a little nervous.

The two of them sat within the tent.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Um... let me make it clear first, I'm just trying to cure you of the poison."
