The Princess of the Western Jin said, “You don’t have to be in a hurry to give me an answer. Go back and think about it.”
This naturally had to be considered carefully. The son of the Princess of Western Jin could not go out, which meant that she could only make house calls.
There were still a few days before the Western Jin diplomatic mission left the capital. There was no hurry to make a decision. In addition, she could take the opportunity to inquire about the other party’s condition.
If the incurable disease exceeded her ability, she would not let the Princess of Western Jin be happy for nothing.
In addition, once the Western Jin envoys left, the Northern Yan envoys would also leave. Thinking about this, she felt that her days were numbered. After all, she still wanted to get more from Zhao Kangning.
“How should I take it…
With her ambition to reach the peak of her life, Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Wei family.
Erhu squatted in the courtyard and soaked in his small stone and Eight Trigram Mirror.
The Eight Trigram Mirror belonged to Sikong Yun. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know how it got into the little fellow’s hands. In the end, Sikong Yun took the initiative to hand it over—the little fellows never stole. They only robbed.
Dahu taught Xiaohu how to speak. Dahu enunciated clearly, “Master.”
Xiaohu said, “Muscle!”
Dahu corrected him. “It’s like “er” in Father! Father! Repeat after me, Father!” Xiao Hu chirped, “Father!”
“That’s right.” Dahu shook his head like a strict old master. “Father! Father!”
Xiaohu placed his hands behind his back and shook his head imitating her. “Father! Father!”
Dahu said rhythmically, “Master!” Xiaohu followed him. “Muscle!”
Dahu was speechless.
Dahu pointed at him. “Xiaohu!”
Xiaohu also pointed at himself. ‘Xiao—Fu!”
Dahu said, “Master!” Xiaohu said, “Muscle!”
Dahu slapped his forehead.
Ah, he couldn’t teach this stupid brother!
Dahu broke down because of his stinky brother. When he saw Su Xiaoxiao, he wanted to crawl into his mother’s arms to find comfort.
Unexpectedly, Xiaohu pounced over first.
“Dahu was fierce to me!” He began to complain about his brother again. “I didn’t!” Dahu argued. “I was just teaching you to speak!”
“Yes, you are! You’re so fierce! Xiaohu is afraid!” Xiaohu was acting and leaned into Su Xiaoxiao’s arms. “I’m not playing with Dahu anymore!”
Dahu’s serious face said, “Very good. You want to eat fists again.”
Xiaohu did not know that he was in trouble at all. He stuck out his tongue at
Dahu. “Hehehe!”
When they were two years old, Su Xiaoxiao felt that two-year-old children were the most fun. Now that they were three years old, Su Xiaoxiao felt that three-year-old children were more fun.
The three little ones were obedient in front of her. They were cute and not noisy. They were pure little angels.
Su Xiaoxiao played with the children for a while and ravaged the three little ones one by one. It was not until Wei Ting and Su MO returned that she smacked her lips.
Wei Ting had just left the court when Su MO returned from his work. The two of them met at the door.
The three little ones greeted their father and eldest uncle before running off to play.
The three of them went to the study.
Su Xiaoxiao told them about her conversation with the Princess of Western Jin.
Wei Ting pondered and said, “I’ve investigated the Princess of Western Jin. She does have a sickly son. He’s only a year older than the young princess. His body is weak and he depends on countless precious herbs to survive.”
“Do you want to go?” Su MO asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m not sure if I’ll go yet.”
She was a doctor. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have rejected a patient’s request. However, there were too many things going on in the capital. On the left was Emperor Jing Xuan, who was eyeing her covetously, and on the right was King Nanyang, who was secretly causing trouble. She was a little worried.
Su MO said, “His Majesty has been choosing ministers to send off Princess Lingxi these few days. Wei Ting or I will probably go. If you decide to make a house call, I’ll tell His Majesty that I’ll go.”
Wei Ting’s face darkened. Did Su MO want to fight again?
When Su Xiaoxiao saw the two of them now, she would remember Su MO saying that he wanted to remove the Gu for Wei Ting. Wei Ting said, “Something’s wrong with your eyes.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No, I’m not thinking about anything.”
She decisively changed the topic. “How’s the investigation of the Flying Cloud Restaurant?”
Su MO said, “Ever since you and Ghost Scar went to King Nanyang’s house that night, King Nanyang has disappeared, and the boss of the Flying Cloud Restaurant has disappeared.”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Could it be that King Nanyang also guessed that Zhang Feng might have hidden the thing in the Flying Cloud Restaurant, so he captured the shopkeeper of the Flying Cloud Restaurant and interrogated him? No, Zhang Feng has followed King Nanyang for so long. It’s impossible for him not to guess King Nanyang’s methods. I keep feeling that the thing is still in the Flying Cloud Restaurant..”
