Ling Yun said to Su Li, “I don’t know medicine, so I can’t tell.”

The corners of Su Li’s mouth twitched as he muttered to himself, “Uh… Then why did you follow me? Can’t you just give me the medicine?”

“I want to eat rice cakes,” Ling Yun said.

Su Li opened his mouth, but on account of the nectar Ling Yun had fed his Fourth Brother, he decided to buy it for him.

After he walked away, Su Xuan said softly, “Thank you.”

It was unknown if his gratitude to Ling Yun was for giving him the medicine or if he had hidden the truth for him.

Ling Yun looked at him and said, “The Sang Flower can only be used to suppress your condition. If you want to eradicate it, I’m afraid you have to return to the Assassin Alliance.”

Sil Xuan said nothing.

Ling Yun continued, “Of course, your master won’t help you undo your Heart Guide since you betrayed the Assassin Alliance. You should drink it quickly.

Even if you’re not afraid of death, it’s not time yet.”

Su Xuan lowered his eyes and drank the medicine in the cup.

Ling Yun left behind the remaining half bag of dried Mulberry flower and half a bottle of Mulberry nectar. “Once a day. If you flare up for the first time, the effect should be very good.”

Su Li returned after buying the rice cake.

“Did you buy it from the nearest rice cake shop?” Ling Yun asked.

“Yes,” Su Li said.

Satisfied, Ling Yun took a bag of rice cakes and got into his luxurious carriage.

The secret guard said, “Young Master, are you going back now?”

Ling Yun said calmly, “Let’s go to the Cheng family first.”

The secret guard was enlightened. “Are you sending rice cakes to Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu? They like the rice cakes in that shop the most!” Ling Yun said, “You talk too much.”

Ghostfear brought the Black-armored Guards back to the capital.

The Black-armored Guards were openly stationed in the Cheng family. If outsiders asked, they would be the guards of the Cheng family. However, now that Zong Zhengming was dead, he would not investigate the background of the Black-armored Guards.

Ghostfear handed Su Xiaoxiao’s handwritten letter to Cheng Sang.

Cheng Sang and the little bird spirit read Weiwei’s letter together and their anxiety was finally appeased bit by bit. Mei Ji said, “Be good and wait for Weiwei to come back, understand?”

Cheng Sang nodded seriously. “Yes!”

Then, Ghostfear returned to Changliu Lane and relayed the news that Wei Ting had been found.

“The Su family’s navy salvaged all the way to find fragments of armor. He even fell down the waterfall. He’s really lucky not to die.”

Li Wan’s heart skipped a beat. “Is Little Seven fine now?”

At the mention of this, Ghostfear was angry and helpless. “An old man from a tribe passed by while picking herbs and saved him. He was treated in time and stabilized his injuries. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to wait for Xiaoxiao to pull out his arrow.”

Li Wan’s heart ached.

It was said that an elder sister-in-law was like a mother. Although she was not an elder sister-in-law, after marrying into the Wei family for many years, her love for Wei Ting was the same as her love for her biological brother. Wei Qing asked, “Su MO is here. Was he escorting the marriage team?” Ghostfear nodded. “That’s right. In addition, Zong Zhengming is dead.”

The news of Zong Zhengming’s death was sent back to the palace.

At that time, the Vermillion Bird Division’s navy, including General Zhu, was detained by Zongzheng Wei.

Zongzheng Wei and a few humerus ministers personally heard it.

According to General Zhu and the navy on the ship, it was the people from the Assassin Alliance who killed Zong Zhengming.

This matter had nothing to do with Zongzheng Wei because the Vermillion Bird Division’s warship was sent over by the Assassin Alliance with Zongzheng Ming’s token.

The one who was really colluding with the Assassin Alliance was Zongzheng Ming.

God knew if he had been killed by the Assassin Alliance because he had not negotiated with them.

However, it was understandable that Zongzheng Wei wanted to kill him.

He had seized the throne of the Zongzheng Wei and imprisoned him for many years. It was a capital crime.

As for the Su family’s navy attacking the Vermillion Bird Division’s warship, the Vermillion Bird Division taking in Zong Zhengming was considered a rebel army. There were no issues with the Su family’s army beating them up.

Not only did Zongzheng Wei not pursue the matter, but he also thanked the Su family army in front of the civil and military officials.

The matter of the marriage between the two countries was raised by Zongzheng Ming during his reign. Now that Zongzheng Wei had regained the throne, Zongzheng Wei did not express his stance on whether to continue the marriage with the Great Zhou.

Zongzheng Wei went to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom.

The Empress Dowager was sent to the entrance of the palace by a carriage yesterday.

The carriage and coachman were hired by the courier station. He was paid to do it and did not know anything else.

Xie Jinnian was missing.

His residence in the capital had long been empty.

Zongzheng Wei came to the Empress Dowager’s side.

The Empress Dowager sat in front of the window to admire the scenery. The peony in the courtyard had bloomed. It was beautiful and beautiful.

“Mother.”

Hearing Zongzheng Wei’s voice, the Empress Dowager gently turned around.

“You’re here. Sit.”

Zongzheng Wei sat down beside her. “Is Mother feeling better today?”

The empress dowager said, “I’m fine.”

Zongzheng Wei wanted to say something but hesitated.

The Empress Dowager’s expression was calm. ‘You want to talk about your brother, right? He was in the wrong. He deserves to be in this state now. You weren’t married at that time, and the harem was filled with his people. Just dismiss them. Those who don’t want to leave can move to the cold palace. If they want to be buried with your brother, let them be.”

“Okay.”

The Empress Dowager continued, “Demote his children to commoners and let them find a remote place to settle down, never to return to the capital.

Consider it a little selfish of me as a grandmother to let the children live.”

The third prince, Zongzheng Ming’s only legitimate son, had been crippled. The rest of the concubines could not do anything.

Moreover, Zongzheng Ming had stolen the throne to begin with. His children had no reason to rebel.

Zongzheng Wei said, “Leave Yu’er behind and let her accompany you.”

Yu’er was Zong Zhengming’s youngest daughter. She was a seven-year-old princess and was doted on by the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager paused and said, “There’s no need. It’s better for her to follow her mother than stay with me.”

It was not that the Empress Dowager did not have any feelings for her grandchildren, but that she had the clarity of mind.

Some things had to be given up. It was good for everyone.

The Empress Dowager continued, “What do you think of the marriage? She came all the way here. We can’t cancel the marriage just like that. You’re not married yet. Why don’t you marry that princess?”

Zongzheng Wei hurriedly said, “Mother, I can listen to you on anything else. I can’t do this.”

Su MO came out of the throne room and was about to leave the palace to see Su Xuan when he was stopped by the Honglu Temple official.

“General Su! General Su!”

Su MO stopped and turned to look at the person. “Lord Wang?”

The minister of the Honglu Temple panted as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. “General Su has finally arrived!”

In the past few days, the royal family of the Southern Wilderness had changed. They had lived in the palace and were frightened. They were afraid that the two sides would kill them by mistake.

“General Su, you came at the right time. Hurry up and find the princess!”

Su MO was slightly stunned. “Princess?”

Wasn’t “Princess” on the way?

The palace had not been peaceful for the past two days. For the safety of the “princess”, he naturally could not let her enter the palace. Su MO put on a show and arranged for her to stay at an inn.

He did not enter the palace today as an envoy. He was here as a witness to cooperate with the investigation.

The minister said, “That’s right. Didn’t Princess Hui An come to the capital early? Just as I met her, she was kidnapped! The royal family of the Southern Wilderness said that they wanted to help us find her, but we haven’t been able to find her! Now that Zong Zhengming is dead, I’m afraid the princess’s matter will be delayed endlessly!”

Su Li only stayed with Su MO for a total of two hours. An hour was used to chat with Wei Xu, and an hour was used to chat with Jade-faced Rakshasa. He had yet to talk about Princess Hui An.

Su MO understood what Lord Wang meant. Princess Hui An had actually come to the Southern Wilderness.

Su MO nodded. “I understand. I’ll send someone to look for her.”

The minister of Honglu Temple felt relieved. “With General Su’s words, I’m relieved!”

Su MO bade farewell to the Honglu Temple minister and left the palace.

He followed the address Su Li gave him and found Elder Lou’s residence. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard a woman’s voice coming from one of the rooms.

“The Holy Maiden Temple isn’t fun at all. Don’t send me to Granny’s place next time. The rice cakes there aren’t delicious.”

Su MO stopped in his tracks.

“You look awful. Are you hurt again? Did you deliberately send me away so that you can do something dangerous again?”

The more Su MO listened, the more familiar it sounded.

This voice… Why did it sound a little like Princess Hui An?

Who was she talking to?

“Ah Xuan is fine.”

Su MO was stunned. Was it Fourth Brother?

“You’re lying. Su Li told me everything. You vomited blood yesterday. You’re so seriously injured. Can’t you come to my room tonight?”

Su Mo’s body trembled!
