The Queen Mother said to her daughter-in-law, "Queen, please come with me for a walk."
The queen understood: "Yes, mother."
The Queen Mother then said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I am sorry for the trouble you have made. You must be exhausted. I will have someone take you back home."
Princess Jingning said, "Grandmother, please send Madam Wei off."
"Okay."
The Queen Mother nodded and took the Queen out.
She gave a few instructions at the door, and Xiao Duye, Xiao Shunyang and Xiao Chonghua came in.
Xiao Duye only spoke to Princess Jingning.
Xiao Shunyang's attitude towards Princess Hui'an was not as close as before.
Xiao Duye was in trouble because Emperor Jingxuan fell ill, and what was going to happen next was bound to be a drama of succession to the throne. Princess Jingning and the Queen were the forces he had to win over.
Xiao Shunyang was tricked by Wei Ting and others in southern Xinjiang, and he seriously suspected that Hui'an was also taken away by Wei Ting's accomplices.
This younger sister has already sided with the Wei family.
Xiao Chonghua came over and handed Princess Hui'an a handkerchief: "You go back first, I will come to see you later."
"Um."
Princess Hui'an took the handkerchief and left the Qianqing Palace with Princess Jingning and Su Xiaoxiao.
She was in a very low mood.
Those carefree days of the past seem to be gone forever.
Of her three brothers who were once very close to her, now only the third brother is left.
"Jingning, aren't you sad?" she asked.
Princess Jingning asked, "What are you sad about? Father's illness or brother's attitude?"
"Both." said Princess Hui'an.
Princess Jingning said calmly: "Being sad won't change anything. Everything is a personal choice."
My father wanted to take the elixir of immortality. It was useless to persuade him, and he ended up hurting himself.
This is his choice.
The three elder brothers are fighting for the throne, and one day they will kill each other.
This is also their choice.
"Do you want to go together?" Princess Jingning asked calmly.
"What?" Princess Hui'an looked at her with tears in her eyes.
Princess Jingning looked at her red and swollen eyes and said, "This is your little follower for you."
Princess Hui'an wiped her tears and said, "Yes."
The three of them got on Princess Jingning's carriage.
Princess Hui'an glanced at Jingning and said, "Do you admit that she is my little follower?"
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh.
Princess Jingning said unhappily, "You are such a scoundrel, does it matter whether others admit it or not?"
Princess Hui'an snorted: "Of course it doesn't matter. Besides, I'm not a rogue! You are the rogue! Give me back my little treasury!"
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Huanhuan, did you give the small treasury to Princess Jingning?"
Before Princess Hui'an could save her dignity, Princess Jingning's face darkened: "What did you call her?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Huan...Huan?"
Oh no.
I'm used to calling it that in southern Xinjiang.
There's another fire in the backyard.
Princess Hui'an took Su Xiaoxiao's arm and said proudly, "My little follower, you can call me whatever you want!"
Princess Jingning's eyes were sharp.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "Ningning."
Princess Jingning: “…”
Princess Hui'an had experienced an extremely stressful day. When the carriage arrived at the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, she had already fallen asleep leaning on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder.
The carriage stopped.
The driver wanted to report, but Princess Jingning gave him a look that silenced him.
The driver understood and carefully hung up the curtain and put the bench in place.
Su Xiaoxiao gently helped Princess Hui'an up and leaned her against the soft pillow.
Then he whispered in a very servile manner: "I'm going back first, Ningning, take care."
Princess Jingning hummed nonchalantly.
Su Xiaoxiao got off the carriage carrying a small medicine box.
Princess Hui'an felt uncomfortable leaning on the soft pillow, so she moved and lay on Princess Jingning's lap.
Princess Jingning glanced at her silly sister and said, "How daring."
Princess Jingning calmly instructed the driver, "Go back to the palace...go slowly."
In Emperor Jingxuan's bedroom, the three brothers were guarding him by his bed.
Eunuch Cheng and Eunuch Fu are both here.
Only two of the imperial doctors were left behind, and the rest went to the Imperial Medical Bureau to wait.
Xiao Duye asked Xiao Chonghua in a bad mood, "Third brother, where did you go after our father fell ill? Why did you disappear for the whole day?"
Xiao Chonghua said calmly, "Jing Yi was followed by two unknown assassins on his way back to Beijing. I went with him to catch the assassins."
Xiao Duye was skeptical: "Really?"
Xiao Chonghua said: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to ask at the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion. Jing Yi was injured by an assassin today."
Su Xiaoxiao asked them to keep the fact that Su Xuan ran away from home a secret, because Mrs. Tao and Old Madam Su were unaware of it and she didn't want to make them worry.
Besides, Jing Yi did encounter two assassins and was indeed injured.
Xiao Duye said coldly: "How can it be such a coincidence that as soon as something happened to our father, you went to catch the assassin?"
Xiao Chonghua said slowly, "It's not like our father just felt unwell today. I didn't see my elder brother go to the palace to visit him yesterday."
Xiao Duye was choked: "That...that's what my father didn't tell anyone!"
Xiao Chonghua said indifferently, "Yes, if Father hadn't told me, how would I know that something bad would happen to Father this morning? But Big Brother, you arrived so early, could it be that you have planted spies around Father?"
Eunuch Quan outside lowered his head.
Xiao Duye couldn't defeat Xiao Chonghua.
He looked at Xiao Shunyang who was standing beside him: "Second brother, why don't you speak?"
Xiao Shunyang said: "Brother, don't you think you are noisy?"
Xiao Duye, who was choked repeatedly, said: "..."
Xiao Shunyang and Xiao Chonghua have both mastered the secrets of Prince Liang's Mansion, and they both know very well that they are the only ones who are truly qualified to compete for the position of crown prince.
Emperor Jingxuan would definitely not make Xiao Chonghua the emperor.
But many ministers in the court will support him.
At this moment, the person who most hoped that Emperor Jingxuan could survive was actually Xiao Shunyang.
On the other side, Wei Xu and others were gradually found by the Five Tigers' small army.
The empress dowager temporarily issued a gag order and did not let the news of Emperor Jingxuan's stroke out of the palace.
They learned about this from Su Xiaoxiao.
"How is Su Xuan?"
Wei Xu's first concern was Su Xuan's safety.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "He caught a cold and is being treated by the senior."
Wei Xu asked, "Who is the senior?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Oh, this is the master that Wei Ting worshipped in Southern Xinjiang."
"The master who saved Xiao Qi?"
"That's him."
Wei Xu was grateful to his son's savior and had been looking for an opportunity to thank him in person, but the man just left without saying a word.
Wei Xu took his sons there, and Su Mo and Su Li also went.
The old man and Su Xuan both rested.
Su Mo touched his brother's forehead and said to Su Li, "Xiao Wu, you stay."
"Got it, big brother."
Su Li stayed behind her fourth brother obediently.
Soon, the old marquis also arrived, and it was Su Xiaoxiao who brought him the news.
The old marquis stubbornly refused to look at Su Xuan.
Su Mo had no choice.
When it comes to putting on airs, my grandfather is much more stubborn than my great-uncle.
Unfortunately, there is no one of his generation in the mansion, so no one can talk about him.
Cheng Sang and Zong Zhenghui were of the same generation as him, but they were not familiar with him and could not bring themselves to bring it up.
"Let's get down to business."
The old marquis said seriously, "Wei Xu, Cheng'er, the two of you come with me to the study."
The three of them went to the study and sat down on the chairs.
The old marquis said sternly: "Wei Xu, Lao Qin had predicted this day would come before he attacked Northern Yan. He said that if he couldn't make it back, he would let me ask your Wei family: Will you rebel?"
Is Qin Canglan domineering?
The last day of double bonus will end tomorrow morning. When the upper limit is restored, you will not be able to vote anymore. Those who have monthly tickets should vote quickly.
