Su Cheng asked again solemnly: "Bai Xihe, will you come with me?"

He suffered a lot of injuries and looked miserable, with even the corners of his mouth bruised and purple.

But he is good-looking, with a bully-like heroic air between his brows.

Although he seems nonchalant, his eyes are deep and persistent.

Bai Xihe's heart began beating violently.

Her eyes were red and her throat was choked.

Can she really... leave this palace where she has been trapped for twenty years?

She knew from a young age that she was just a pawn of the Guo family.

Behind the fine clothes and delicious food is the eternal loss of freedom.

As time went by, even she herself felt that she was not worthy of redemption.

She asked hesitantly, "When...will you return to the palace?"

Su Cheng said: "I won't go back."

The fear that had been suppressed all night turned into grievances and surged into my heart at this moment.

She held back her tears and choked up, "I am the Grand Empress Dowager..."

Su Cheng looked at her: "I know."

…

The Palace of the Duke of Protectorate.

Wei Ting hugged the chubby peacock who was sleeping soundly and went to rest.

Just as he closed his eyes, Wei Liulang's voice rang out from outside: "Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi! Something big has happened!"

Wei Ting opened his eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao turned over in his arms.

Wei Ting frowned. Sixth brother was too ignorant. He disturbed the little fat peacock's sleep.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, come out quickly!"

Wei Liulang knocked on the door directly.

Su Xiaoxiao asked dazedly, "What's wrong?"

Wei Ting glanced at the door that was shaking from being knocked on by Sixth Brother, sighed helplessly, and said softly: "Sixth Brother is looking for me, you go to sleep first, I'll go out for a while."

Su Xiaoxiao responded vaguely: "Yeah."

Wei Ting went to open the door for Wei Liulang, walked out, closed the door behind him, and whispered: "Sixth Brother, it's almost three o'clock."

"I know! It's a big deal!"

"Xiao Shunyang has taken action?"

"He did go out, but... Oh, it wasn't him! It was your father-in-law, the Protector of the Country!"

The story begins with Wei Liulang following Xiao Shunyang.

After being mocked by his brothers, Wei Liulang learned his lesson and decided to get his revenge no matter what.

He was guarding outside the Second Prince's mansion.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Shunyang quietly left the house.

He followed Xiao Shunyang, thinking that Xiao Shunyang was going to join the dark force, but who would have thought that Xiao Shunyang actually entered the palace.

Xiao Shunyang went into the palace probably to secretly visit Emperor Jingxuan and find out about his true condition. Wei Liulang did not follow him and waited for him to come out outside.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the first person to come out was the Duke of Protectorate.

Uh... he didn't remember the Protector of the Country going in... where did he come from? That's not the point.

The point is that the Duke of Protectorate seemed to have had a big fight with someone in the palace and had injuries on his face.

He couldn't expose himself at the palace gate, so he didn't go to greet the Duke of Protectorate.

But the Duke of Protectorate came back soon after and knocked down the imperial guards at the door with a few punches.

Wei Liulang said excitedly: "Do you know where he went to kill? The Empress Dowager's Zhaoyang Palace! I have never seen him so fierce..."

Swish! The door was opened.

Wei Ting and Wei Liulang looked inside the door together.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Where is my father?" - The Queen Mother never expected that after Xiao Shunyang left, Su Cheng came.

He fought his way in, so arrogant!

It seems that there is no need to sleep tonight! The Queen Mother, supported by Eunuch Cheng, came to Zhaoyang Palace again.

"You are so brave, Lord Protector of the Country!"

The Queen Mother angrily scolded, "What do you think the Imperial Palace is? Do you know that trespassing into the Imperial Palace is a capital crime? I just didn't pursue the matter, don't think I will always tolerate it!"

Before Su Cheng could speak, the Empress Dowager said, "I was the one who called him back."

In terms of seniority, Bai Xihe is the Queen Mother's niece-in-law.

In terms of status, Bai Xihe was the Grand Empress Dowager, and even the Empress Dowager had to give her some respect when she met her.

Su Cheng said seriously: "It has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager. This is all my personal behavior."

The Queen Mother asked, "What did you do? Did you offend the Grand Queen Mother?"

Bai Xihe said: "He didn't offend me."

The Queen Mother glanced at Su Cheng seriously and asked, "What is he doing here?"

Bai Xihe opened his mouth: "He..."

Su Cheng put her behind him and said to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, please spare me a moment to talk."

When Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting and Wei Liulang arrived at the palace, Su Cheng had already gone to the pavilion near Zhaoyang Palace with the empress dowager.

The palace was guarded on all sides, and no one was allowed to approach within a hundred steps.

The three of them climbed up a big tree.

Su Xiaoxiao whispered, "What is my father talking to the Queen Mother about?"

Wei Ting: "The curtains are down, so I can't read lips."

Wei Liulang: "Xiao Qi, can you read lips?"

Wei Ting: “No.”

Wei Liulang: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "Sixth brother, don't you need to keep an eye on Xiao Shunyang?"

Wei Liulang suddenly woke up from his dream: "Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this! I'll go!"

Wei Liulang jumped down.

In the blink of an eye, he jumped back, "Remember to tell me when the time comes!" -The Second Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Shunyang was escorted back by two palace masters.

He was under house arrest by the Queen Mother and was not allowed to leave the palace without permission from now on.

This punishment is not terrible.

What really concerned him was her and the Protector of the Country! When did they have an affair?

Why him? Why not me? Why? Why! Xiao Shunyang stumbled back to his yard.

He did not go into his own room, but went to the Second Prince's wife.

He slammed the door open.

It was late at night, but the Second Prince's wife was still awake.

She sat quietly in front of the windowsill, as if waiting for someone.

Hearing the sound of the door breaking behind her, she didn't turn around and asked calmly, "Are you back?"

Xiao Shunyang walked over coldly and came in front of her: "Did you tip off the Empress Dowager?"

"yes."

The Second Prince's wife admitted it generously.

Xiao Shunyang said with disgust: "You are so calculating!"

The Second Prince's wife laughed at herself and said, "What did I plot? Did I put a knife to your neck and force you to see her? Or did I force my husband to be obsessed with another woman? You should be thankful that I stopped you in time and didn't let you commit an unforgivable sin!"

“Unforgivable…”

Xiao Shunyang laughed loudly, "How can my sincerity be unforgivable?"

The Second Prince's wife felt as if a needle was stabbing her heart: "You only remember your own true heart, what about others'?"

Xiao Shunyang waved his sleeves: "What does other people's business have to do with me? I only want her... I only want her..."

He stumbled out.

The Second Prince's wife finally couldn't bear it any longer and covered her aching heart tightly.

I closed my eyes and hot tears fell.
