Su Xiaoxiao held her chin with both hands and looked at him: "Why don't you stop it? There are heavy soldiers guarding over there."
Wei Ting glanced at her and said, "Will it be useful to stop it? When have you ever listened to my advice?"
Su Xiaoxiao blinked.
Wei Ting said calmly: "Change into night clothes."
"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao agreed.
The two stood up.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the box to find her nightgown, but suddenly, she heard a flurry of anxious noises coming from the corner.
“Be careful!”
Wei Ting took a step forward and blocked her with his body, but they were too close and Su Xiaoxiao lost her balance and fell backwards.
He wrapped his strong arms around her soft waist and held her tightly in his arms.
"It's a big rat!"
Fusu said, holding the mouse's tail.
Wei Ting supported the cabinet behind her with one hand and held her with the other hand to prevent her from falling. Su Xiaoxiao grabbed his collar, and their bodies were pressed tightly together, and they could clearly feel each other's warm breath.
Both of them acted subconsciously without thinking too much.
But it was a bit eye-catching in Fusu's eyes.
He spoke again to make his presence felt: "I said, it's a rat."
Su Xiaoxiao lowered her long eyelashes and loosened her hands little by little.
Wei Ting wanted to drive Fusu out.
Fusu felt a murderous aura coming from the back of his young master's head, and he decisively carried Haozi out.
Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply and let her go.
Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed his collar again, pulled him down, and kissed the corner of his lips.
The sudden intimacy stunned Wei Ting.
Before the wedding, she always liked to take advantage of him, but after they got married, she became much more well-behaved.
If he remembered correctly, this was the first time she had kissed him since they got married.
He tightened his loosened arms again and found her soft lips, intending to deepen the kiss.
"Master, I think--" Fusu pushed the door open and saw the two people hugging each other affectionately and ambiguously. His mind buzzed.
Wei Ting closed his eyes and said, "Get out!"
"Oh." Fusu went out feeling aggrieved. He didn't lock the door and blamed me.
Su Xiaoxiao licked her lips lightly: "We are going to the Princess's Mansion."
Wei Ting's eyes darkened as he looked at her rosy red lips, feeling her waist, which had obviously become thinner, on his arm. He hummed calmly and let go of her with restraint.
…
The Princess's Mansion.
It was already late at night, but the mansion was brightly lit, and the servants walked quickly along the path carrying medicine and food without saying a word.
In the east courtyard, the young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty could no longer endure it, and came to the door of her room and shouted, "I want to get out!"
The two guards outside the door stretched out their arms to stop her, and one of them said, "Little Princess, you cannot leave this room. This is an order."
The young princess was angry and asked, "Whose order is this? My mother's or your majesty's?"
The guard did not answer, but said: "Little Princess, it's getting late, please go back and rest."
The little princess stamped her feet: "I can't sleep! I want to see my mother!"
The guard said sternly, "I'm sorry, I can't obey your order."
The little princess stretched out her hand to push, but she was not strong enough to do anything. Her little fists hitting the two of them was just like tickling.
She was so angry that she slammed the door shut! She also locked the bolt! Then she turned around listlessly, only to find someone else in the room. She screamed, "Ah---"
The other covered her mouth.
"Little Princess, it's me."
The little princess glared: "Hmm?"
Qin Su?
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and pulled down the black veil on her face.
"Little Princess, has something happened?" asked the guard outside the door.
Su Xiaoxiao made a hushing gesture to the little princess, and the little princess nodded!
Su Xiaoxiao released the hand that was covering her mouth.
The little princess checked the bolt, pressed her pounding heart, and pretended to shout, "Ahhh! I hate you so much! I hate you so much! Wuuwuwu... Next time I see His Majesty, I will report you severely!"
It turned out that he was angry... The guards outside the door felt relieved.
The young princess and Su Xiaoxiao came to sit beside the bed and asked in a low voice: "Qin Su, why are you here? Are you here alone? It's very dangerous here."
The first person the little girl was worried about was herself.
Su Xiaoxiao pinched her cheeks: "You've lost weight."
The little princess muttered, "You're still talking about me. You've lost weight too."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Wei Ting and I came here together. He went to see your mother."
When the little princess heard that Wei Ting was accompanying her, her expression was obviously relieved.
The young princess asked, "Qin Su, are you here to treat my brother?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes."
The little princess said in a depressed mood: "You came at the wrong time. Something happened to my mother."
I won't get involved, I'm just asking... Su Xiaoxiao said, "I heard someone say it on the way here, it seems to be a method of warding off evil."
The little princess said helplessly: "They found a little man pierced with silver needles under my brother's bed. The man pierced was Concubine Yu, who has been very favored recently."
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Why would a noble person do this?"
The young princess said gloomily, "She was pregnant with a dragon fetus, but it died. They all said it was my mother who killed it with a doll. But... when my mother just came back from the Great Zhou, she did run into Concubine Yu in the harem, and Concubine Yu did offend my mother."
Even the motive is there, and the logical chain is perfect. The internal strife in the Western Jin Dynasty was much more intense than the fight for the throne in the Zhou Dynasty.
The little princess' eyes were red: "Qin Su, my mother was wronged."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her and said, "I believe it."
"Qin Su..." The grievances that the little princess had suffered these days finally broke out at this moment. She threw herself into Su Xiaoxiao's arms, and tears as big as beans flowed out.
In the main house of another courtyard, Wei Ting met the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Even though she was imprisoned, this royal princess still had a strong aura and did not look embarrassed at all. However, there was a hint of dark clouds between her brows, revealing her worry about her two children.
"I'm surprised you guys came."
After something like this happened, ordinary people would probably avoid it as much as possible and would not want to have anything to do with the Princess's Mansion.
Wei Ting sat opposite her and said calmly, "These storms are temporary for Your Highness. I believe that with Your Highness's strength, you will be able to break through soon."
The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty said calmly: "That's natural! It's a pity that not everyone is as smart as you."
Wei Ting thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, I'm curious about who caused His Highness to suffer such a great loss?"
The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty said unhappily, "Who else could it be? The counselor of my eldest brother's mansion."
Wei Ting's mind suddenly flashed with the carriages and horses escorted by the black-armored guards: "Mr. Zhuge?"
The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty was surprised: "You know him? His name is Zhuge Qing, and he is said to be from Northern Yan. My eldest brother's scouts met him at Suibei Pass."
