"Have you eaten?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting sat down next to her: "I ate a little, I'm a little hungry."
Su Xiaoxiao said, "That's great, let's eat together."
A large bowl of red dates and white fungus soup was stewed in the kitchen, and Su Xiaoxiao also served him a bowl.
"By the way, why did you take so long? Were you talking to His Majesty in the Imperial Study?"
Wei Ting took the Tremella Soup and said, "I went to the Ministry of War to hand it over and wrote a few documents, describing the journey north in detail."
Isn’t this just writing a report... Su Xiaoxiao bit a sour date and frowned.
Wei Ting hadn't eaten yet. He glanced at her, picked up all the dates in his bowl and put them into her bowl, then gave his bowl to her.
This guy is quite considerate.
Su Xiaoxiao took another bite. It tasted sweet and she liked it very much.
"How is Dad doing recently?" Wei Ting was also very concerned about Su Cheng.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Very well, my uncle and aunt are all doing well."
"I should be able to finish my work in the next few days. I will go back with you then."
"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao nodded. "Oh, by the way, have you mentioned the trip to Southern Xinjiang to His Majesty?"
Wei Ting said: "I sounded out his attitude and he said Zhuge Qing was still short of one medicine. He said that my injury had not healed yet and there would be many inconveniences. He would send someone else to find the medicine so that I could recover in the capital."
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "It seems that because you have made great contributions at the border this time and have disturbed the Leng family, he feels that you are becoming more and more out of control. He is afraid that your achievements will overwhelm the master, and he is also afraid that you will develop a rebellious heart. He has to keep you under his nose to feel at ease."
Wei Ting scooped a spoonful of Tremella soup and said, "Humph, he wishes for it."
Su Xiaoxiao also felt that Emperor Jingxuan was being unwise this time. Wei Ting seemed obedient, but in fact he was a rebellious person. Emperor Jingxuan thought that he could control Wei Ting with his status as the emperor, but he didn't know that Wei Ting would eventually become fully grown.
Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep while eating. Wei Ting carried her to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and stuffed the three little guys who had kicked off the quilt back into their little quilts.
After doing all this, he went to the courtyard of the second room and knocked on the door of his second brother and his wife: "Second brother, are you asleep?"
Wei Qing said softly, "Not asleep yet, go to the study and wait for me."
…
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
In the study, Wei Qing sat in a wheelchair, looking at his younger brother with a calm expression.
The little troublemaker who always lost himself in playing and had to be found by himself finally grew up and became a man of integrity, supporting the Wei family in times of storm.
"Yes, second brother, I have made up my mind." Wei Ting said word by word.
Wei Qing nodded: "That's good. The days of hiding should end. The Wei family should live openly and honestly."
They have been waiting for an opportunity, and now is the perfect time, neither too early nor too late.
Wei Qing looked at him with a smile: "Go ahead, I support you. If there are risks, I will bear them with you."
…
Wei Ting was injured at the border, so Emperor Jingxuan exempted him from attending court. However, Wei Ting still went to the court the next morning.
He was not wearing the official robes of an imperial official, but armor that had seen the battles on the battlefield, and he was holding another set of armor in his hand.
Many officials recognized it.
"Isn't that General Wei Xu's armor?"
"Yes, it was said to have been lost back then."
"General Wei Xu was killed by Helian Ye and his body was dumped. Not even a piece of armor was found. How could this happen?"
The civil and military officials began to whisper.
Xiao Duye couldn't bear it anymore, so he rested at home and didn't come to court today. Xiao Shunyang and Xiao Chonghua were both there.
The most shocked was Emperor Jingxuan. He sat high up on the dragon throne, overlooking the entire court. He was the Son of Heaven, but when Wei Ting came towards him holding Wei Xu's armor, he felt as if Wei Xu was walking towards him.
If one were to ask who in the entire Wei family the emperor fears the most, it would be Wei Xu.
Wei Xu is better than his master and his martial arts are even better than Wu'an Jun. If he had not been framed by a villain, what would have happened to Helian Ye?
Most importantly, he was in his prime, too powerful, and too terrifying.
Wei Ting stopped holding the golden armor. A murderous aura filled the entire Golden Throne Hall, and the hall suddenly became silent.
Seeing the armor is like seeing Wei Xu returning.
Everyone held their breath.
The courtiers looked at the armor with more fear than they looked at him as the emperor, and Emperor Jingxuan felt a little uncomfortable.
You are not that afraid of Qin Canglan, he is just a Wei Xu!
It's not that everyone is not afraid of Qin Canglan, it's just that Qin Canglan's style of doing things is regular, so be careful not to offend him. As for Wei Xu...
Everyone couldn't help but remember the night of rebellion during the reign of the previous emperor.
He was guarding the Golden Palace alone, and by the time reinforcements arrived, he was already covered in blood.
The battle was over, and the ground was littered with the heads and corpses of the rebels.
He held the sword that was fed with blood, his whole body dripping with blood, and he didn't know whether it was his own blood or the rebels'.
The sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and he stood expressionless in the blood-mist filled night like a god of death.
Anyone who has seen that scene will never forget it.
Emperor Jingxuan looked at the armor facing him and had the illusion that Wei Xu was staring at him, which made him uncomfortable.
He frowned and asked, "Wei Ting, what's going on?"
Wei Ting said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is my father's armor."
The ministers were horrified.
The Minister of Revenue asked, "Is this really General Wei Xu's armor? Isn't General Wei Xu's body gone? Have you found General Wei Xu's body?"
Wei Ting said to him: "I didn't find my father's body, because my father may not be dead."
As soon as these words were spoken, a storm broke out in the Golden Palace.
What did Wei Ting say? Wei Xu is not dead?
Although it is just a possibility, it is too shocking!
Xiao Chonghua was the only one who knew about it in advance. He went to meet Jing Yi. Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting did not tell Xiao Duye about Wei Xu, but they did not hide it from Jing Yi.
But Jing Yi didn't say that Wei Xu might still be alive.
You little bastard, your elbows are getting more and more bent outward.
Xiao Shunyang glanced at him and said calmly, "Why? Third brother, you don't know either? Jing Yi was traveling with them, so he must have known about it. Why didn't he even tell me this? Third brother, you better be careful, don't let your cousin get kidnapped by someone without knowing it."
Xiao Chonghua smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, second brother."
Wei Ting looked at Emperor Jingxuan who was sitting on the dragon throne. He was clearly looking up at him, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.
He said: "Before his death, Helian Ye accidentally revealed my father's whereabouts. It turned out that my father escaped from him that year, but he was seriously injured and was captured by someone else. I found my father's armor and proved that Helian Ye was not lying."
As he spoke, he took a step back, knelt on one knee holding his father's armor, and said, "Your Majesty, please go south to find your father!"
