Chapter 577: The Works of a Tyrant (Part 1)



She couldn't be so unlucky, right? She came all the way here to see a doctor, and something happened to the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty?

The three little ones didn’t understand what the adults were saying and they were chewing the big meat buns in their hands very seriously. The triplets were so cute that they immediately attracted a lot of people’s attention.

The young man did not think that the children were too eye-catching. He thought that they were conquered by his rich aura again. He thought about it and showed off his thick gold chain again.

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

Wei Ting changed his previous cold attitude and poured him a cup of tea: "Brother, have some tea."

Wei Ting usually doesn't take the initiative to get close to others, but as long as he is willing, there are few people he can't please.

Su Xiaoxiao ate buns while watching him chatting and laughing with the young man.

At this time, he actually has a unique mature and restrained charm.

The young man patted Wei Ting on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, you and I hit it off. When I saw you, I felt like we had met too late. Actually, I am not from Xidu either. I came to Xidu to do business, but this is not my first time here, so I am more familiar with you than you. My last name is Shen, and my given name is Xin, which means Sanjin Xin."

"Wei Xichao." Wei Ting said.

Not many people know his name, so it's not easy for him to attract attention.

"I won't ask what you are doing at the Princess's Mansion."

Shen Xin looked like a wealthy nouveau riche, but in fact he was a man of great talent, tactful and able to make decisions and retreat. "Since we have known each other for a while, I want to remind you that the West Capital has been in turmoil recently, so you should not get involved with the Princess's Mansion."

"Second Master, the horses are ready."

The servant came over and said.

"Do you need me to give you a ride?" Shen Xin asked Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao.

Wei Ting said politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Shen. It's not necessary."

Shen Xin didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go first. If you have time, you can come to Tianxiang Pavilion to find me."

Wei Ting bowed and said, "Brother Shen, take care."

After Shen Xin left the tea shed, Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and looked at Wei Ting: "Sure."

Da Hu's social stuntman must have been inherited from you. He usually looks at strangers and keeps them away, but he is very good at getting close to people.

"Pull over, pull over, pull over!"

It was Shen Xin's anxious voice.

He retreated back to the tea stall and asked the servant to pull the carriage back.

Wei Ting asked, "What happened, Brother Shen?"

"That one." Shen Xin pointed outside cautiously.

Following the direction of his finger, Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao saw a luxurious carriage pulled by two horses, accompanied by eight black-armored guards.

People in the other tea stalls also recognized them and asked their drivers to give way.

The tea stall, which was originally bustling, suddenly became silent.

It wasn't until the convoy went far away that Shen Xin finally seemed to catch his breath. He patted his chest and said with relief:

"I was so scared, so scared. Fortunately, I gave way quickly. If I had offended that person, I would never be able to survive in Xidu again!"

"Who is he?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Shen Xin said with emotion: "Mr. Zhuge, the counselor of the Grand Prince's Mansion. His origin is very mysterious. No one knows his past. We only know that he came to Xidu three years ago. It is said that the three thousand guests of the Grand Prince's Mansion are not as good as him. Have you seen those black-armored guards? Each of them is brave and good at fighting. One can fight ten... They are his soldiers! He trained a black-armored army in the name of the Grand Prince. You don't know how powerful the black-armored army is!"

When he got excited, he almost started gesticulating.

The servant reminded quietly: "Second Master, it's time to go. If you don't go now, you will be late."

Shen Xin stopped talking with a hint of regret, and warned: "If you meet him in the future, remember to take a detour!"

Wei Ting glanced at the carriage.

The carriage had already arrived at the city gate. There was no queue and the guards guarding the city respectfully welcomed the group in.

Shen Xin said goodbye again, and this time he really left.

Wei Ting said: "Let's go too, Fusu and the others are almost done lining up."

"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao called the waiter at the teahouse, "Check out."

Su Xiaoxiao just saw that Shen Xin gave the tea stall a whole gold ingot. What a rich man.

The group took Fusu and Afu back to the carriage.

As soon as the two of them finished eating, they started checking the road permit.

In view of Shen Xin's reminder, Wei Ting did not show the token of the Princess's Mansion.

It was a good thing they did so, because shortly after they entered the city gate, the city guards arrested two people who were related to the Princess's Mansion.

"Huh." Su Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "That was really dangerous."

"Yes, it's really salty!" Xiaohu imitated.

"It's not salty." Da Hu said seriously.

The three of them sat on the carpeted floor, chewing on the large meat buns they hadn't finished.

“I don’t think it’s salty either!” Erhu took a big bite.

The three little guys successfully changed the topic, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.

Wei Ting glanced at the three little brats with a chill. You are the only ones who are good at making jokes! "Let's get back to the point." He knocked on the table. "Are you still going to treat the young prince?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Go, why not?"

Wei Ting said calmly, "Let's make it clear in advance that we will not participate in the internal strife of the Western Jin Dynasty. We have only two purposes for this trip: one, to cure the disease; two, to find someone. The rest has nothing to do with us."

Su Xiaoxiao jokingly said, "Isn't the princess your ally? Are you giving up so soon? This is not like your style."

Wei Ting said coldly: "If you want to interfere, just ignore what I said."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "No, I am just a weak woman, how can I get involved in the internal strife of the Western Jin Dynasty? I don't have seven or eight heads, right?"

She was not a person without self-awareness. She had learned about it before coming here. The situation of the royal family and the court of the Western Jin Dynasty was much more complicated than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was definitely not something that she and Wei Ting could intervene in just because they wanted to.

It is not advisable to show off one's bravery.

They first found an inn to stay in.

They asked for three rooms in total, one for Fusu and Afu, one for Xing'er, and one for Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting and their three children.

Xing'er took the children to her place and gave them a bath and changed their clothes.

Fusu went downstairs to inquire about the news, and according to the detailed map provided by Lingyun, he took a walk around the Princess's Mansion.

When he came back, the three little ones had already taken a shower and fell asleep.

Fusu closed the door and reported in a low voice: "Master, Madam, I have heard that the princess is indeed under house arrest. There are heavy guards outside the princess's mansion. No one can enter without an imperial decree."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "If I can't get in, I won't be able to treat the young prince."

Fusu said, "Speaking of the young prince, I just noticed that in just half an hour, more than ten imperial doctors entered the Princess's residence."

Wei Ting asked, "Is this to treat the young prince?"

Fusu nodded: "Yes!"

Su Xiaoxiao frowned.

This is both good news and bad news.

The fact that the Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty sent more than ten imperial physicians over showed that he cared about the young prince and that the Princess' Mansion still had a chance to turn the tables.

But precisely because so many imperial doctors arrived at once, the young prince's condition was probably very critical.

Wei Ting asked again: "Where do the envoys of the Great Zhou live?"

Fusu said: "The old marquis and his men have gone to visit the Black Armored Army of the Western Jin Dynasty and are not in the city."

The old marquis is an envoy of the Great Zhou. Perhaps he can recommend a doctor to the Emperor of Western Jin in the name of the Great Zhou to go to the Imperial Princess's Palace.

The problem is that it is unclear when they will return, and even if they do, there is no guarantee that the Emperor of Western Jin will accept his kindness.

Su Xiaoxiao said sternly: "Wei Ting, I'm afraid the little prince won't survive tonight, I have to go to the Princess's Mansion!"
