Unspeakable memories flooded into her mind, like fireworks exploding in the night, making her heart pound.

It has been a while since her wedding. Although she and Wei Ting are together every day, they do not sleep together very often, except for the wedding night when they performed the husband-and-wife ceremony and when he was removing the poison. But last night, she actually had sex with him without any reason.

It is true that beauty can mislead people.

Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, removed the unspeakable picture from her mind, gently pulled open the quilt, and looked inside.

The two of them were naked, pressed tightly together, their legs intertwined. The visual impact was so great that her mind immediately buzzed.

"woke up?"

Wei Ting's voice suddenly rang in her ears, still as magnetic as before, with a hint of laziness, but sounding very clear, and it seemed that he had woken up early.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly pulled down the quilt and pretended not to see anything: "Yeah, you're awake."

"Get up when you wake up. Fusu has been here several times."

He said calmly, threw back the quilt and got out of bed, revealing a perfect body that made him look thin when dressed and muscular when undressed...with absolutely no excess fat.

He bent down to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground. With every piece he picked up, Su Xiaoxiao's memories deepened.

Last night... was a bit too crazy...

But why is Wei Ting so calm?

He was completely different from the domineering and demanding person he was at night.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him suspiciously.

Wei Ting had already put on his clothes, with his long black hair hanging down, which made his face, which looked like jade, and his features, which looked like paintings, even more beautiful.

"Get up if you want, and turn around."

He is so calm, so she shouldn't be shy. Who doesn't want to save face?

Wei Ting said coldly: "Do you need me to remind you that I have already seen what I should have seen? Not only did I see it, I also--"

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists: "Shut up!"

Wei Ting raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, then bent down to pick up her clothes, from her bellyband to her underwear... and finally her skirt, and handed them to her one by one.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled the clothes over and closed the curtain tightly.

Wei Ting was waiting for her outside.

After she was dressed, she walked towards Wei Ting on the deck with a face as cold as ice.

——Both of them refused to admit it after sleeping with each other.

She coughed lightly: "Why did you suddenly..."

Wei Ting interrupted her: "It seemed like you took the initiative last night."

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

She said seriously, "That's because you brought me here for a date. There are delicious food and beautiful fireworks. Since you have tried so hard to please me, I will give you a little sweetness!"

If this guy hadn't made the first move and set the atmosphere so perfect and ambiguous, how could I have been seduced by his beauty? Wei Ting chuckled, "If that's what you mean. You took the initiative to ask me for sex and reminded me to fulfill my duties as a husband. As husband and wife, I naturally shouldn't let you down."

How did it become that she took the initiative to ask for sex?

Su Xiaoxiao was about to speak when she suddenly noticed his meaningful gaze sweeping over the Guanyin fertility talisman around her neck.

Could it be that he still insisted that she took the initiative to ask her grandmother for this talisman in order to hint to him - Wei Ting, give me the child? She wanted to murder her husband!

She didn’t get the trick at her wedding, and she didn’t get the trick when she was detoxified, so she didn’t believe she would get the trick this time!

…

Fusu came for the fifth time and finally picked up the two of them.

The young master put so much thought into it last night, hiring an entire pleasure boat, having people decorate the streets with lanterns, and even having people set off fireworks all night long. Didn't all these fail to please the young mistress?

"Fusu." Su Xiaoxiao called.

"Ah? Young Madam!" Fusu, who was driving the carriage, came back to his senses.

"You are so anxious, is there something going on at home?" She simply didn't want to talk to Wei Ting, so she went to talk to someone else.

But Fusu did have something important to do: "There's news from the Western Jin Dynasty."

Yuwen Xi's falcon and Yuwen Huai's carrier pigeon arrived one after another, both delivering messages to Su Xiaoxiao.

There should be some clues from Master Shen's side. Last time at the gate of Xidu City, Master Shen said that he had found out the whereabouts of the medicinal materials and would immediately send someone to inform her. Yuwen Xi asked him to go to the Princess's Mansion. Her falcon was faster than the post horse at the post station. Yuwen Huai was not to be outdone and said that his carrier pigeon was fast enough.

Mr. Shen probably couldn't afford to offend both sides, so he sent messages to both of them.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao returned to the yard, she immediately took off the cloth strips wrapped around the feet of the carrier pigeon and the falcon.

Her guess was correct. Mr. Shen had indeed found out the whereabouts of the Snowy Gastrodia and Snake Bone Flower - the Snowy Gastrodia was in the Tianshan Mountains in Northern Yan, and the Snake Bone Flower was in southern Xinjiang.

"Where is Tianshan?" Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting. She was not very familiar with the terrain of Beiyan.

Wei Ting said: "Outside Suibei Pass, go north for thirty miles."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Did my grandfather and Su Mo send food and grass to Suibei Pass?"

Wei Ting took a map of the border from the bookshelf and spread it out, pointing to the place with Zibo Town written on it: "It is very close to Suibei Pass, but not Suibei Pass. They have official business on this trip, so it is inconvenient for them to leave the camp without permission, otherwise they will be punished by military law. In addition, they are transporting baggage and marching slowly. The cavalry is now leaving the capital, and may be able to reach the border faster than them."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "I understand."

At night, Wei Ting contacted Gui Bu and Wei Liulang who were outside gathering information.

The three brothers went to Wei Qing and told him the whereabouts of the two medicinal herbs.

Wei Ting said: "One in the south and one in the north, it's best for us to act separately. I will go to Suibei Pass, the eldest brother and the sixth brother will go to southern Xinjiang, and the second brother will wait for our news in the capital."

This is the safest and most time-saving method. After all, there are less than four months left.

Wei Qing paused and said, "I want to go to Suibei Pass."

The three brothers said in unison: "No!"

Wei Qing smiled and said to Wei Ting: "If I don't go to Suibei Pass, there is no reason for you to go."

Wei Ting was an official appointed by the imperial court and it was impossible for him to leave the capital casually. He couldn't just become a monk again.

Wei Ting said: "I have my own way, second brother, don't worry."

Wei Ting went to the palace overnight to meet Emperor Jingxuan.

Emperor Jingxuan was in a bad mood for several days because of the rejection of his marriage proposal, and he also began to dislike the Wei family members who were close to Zhuge Qing.

He asked unhappily, "What are you doing so late at night?"

Wei Ting said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I beg to leave the capital privately and go to Suibei Pass."

Emperor Jingxuan looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What are you doing at Suibei Pass?"

Su Mo and Qin Canglan have already gone to the border. If Wei Ting goes there as well, one can't help but wonder if they are secretly colluding to rebel.

Wei Ting clasped his fists and saluted: "I want to assassinate Helian Ye! I am willing to sign a military order and will never return to the capital without beheading Helian Ye!"

The one with the high fever is Xiao Fangfangzi. I accompanied her to the hospital for the whole afternoon. Ibuprofen didn't help much. The fever didn't go down. I may have to go again soon. The hospital is all positive, so I don't think there will be any suspense. Everyone take care of yourselves.
