“for me?”

ghostfear felt that something was wrong.

the children in the residence were all strange and very puzzling.

however, with the little girl standing here, he could not practice swordsmanship.

he sat down boldly on the steps.

wei xiyue came behind him and suddenly lay on his back. her two small hands grabbed his ears. “giddyup!”

ghostfear was speechless.

ghostfear finally knew what was wrong. wasn’t alfalfa grass for horses?

after being transformed into a wild father and human trafficker, ghostfear was successfully turned into a horse.

..lf he was lucky, he would be a horse. if he was not, he might only be a donkey.

the hunting was coming up. although it was called hunting, it was actually the emperor going to a palace outside the capital to avoid the heat. hunting was just one of the activities.

he could bring his family with him, hence emperor also brought the empress and a few concubines.

it was rare for the empress dowager to leave the palace. she wanted to see the three fellows, so she agreed to go to the palace to avoid the heat.

“go and ask the empress dowager if she’s going?”

there was no reason for them to go without asking the grand empress dowager.

he thought that with bai xihe’s personality, she would most likely reject him. after all, she had never gone to the palace to avoid the summer in the past.

unexpectedly, eunuch cheng reported, “the grand empress dowager agreed.”

the empress dowager was stunned for a moment but did not say anything. she only instructed the empress to take care of everything.

“i want to go too! i want to go too! the capital is so hot!” princess hui an nestled in the empress dowager’s arms and wheedled.

the empress dowager looked at her bandaged arm and gauze-covered right foot and tapped her forehead helplessly. “you!”

princess hui an smiled. “hehe!”

after wei ting was reinstated, the family of the wei family should be able to go out to avoid the heat.

old madam wei said, “forget it, forget it. i can’t be bothered with my old bones. ask your sisters-in-law if they’re going.”

madam li and the others expressed that they wanted to stay in the residence to accompany old madam wei.

su xiaoxiao had to go. she had never seen the emperor’s palace outside of the capital before. she had to take a look.

su xiaoxiao clenched her fists. “this old swindler has been hiding for so long.

he’s finally caught!”

she immediately rushed to the protectorate with wei ting.

in the study, sikong yun sat on a chair in a sorry state. he was holding an ice cube wrapped in a handkerchief and applying it to the bruise at the corner of his mouth.

qin canglan sat opposite him and glared at him covetously.

sikong yun sighed. “there’s no need to be so ruthless, right? you’re a martial artist, and i’m not…

qin canglan said coldly, “i spared your life because you still have some value for interrogation. otherwise, i would have killed you long ago!”

sikong yun said helplessly, “we’ve been friends for many years. there’s no need to be so heartless…

qin canglan said angrily, “stop playing dumb with me! you know very well what you’ve done. i, qin canglan, hate being stabbed in the back the most in my life!”

“i wasn’t… sigh…” sikong yun only sighed. “grandfather.’

su xiaoxiao and wei ting walked in.

the two of them looked at sikong yun, and sikong yun looked at the two of them. now, he could not even sigh.

su xiaoxiao said calmly, “running? why aren’t you running anymore?”

sikong yun sighed. “aren’t you mocking me? there are so many experts. how can a weak official like me escape?”

su xiaoxiao said angrily, “why did you escape back then?”

sikong yun said, “there are some things that you will still give it a try even if you know the outcome. for example, someone knows that they can’t become the top scholar, but they still study hard for ten years. why do you think?” su xiaoxiao sat down beside qin canglan. “i’m not them. how would i know?” wei ting greeted qin canglan and sat down.

there were three big bosses in the room. sikong yun was destined to not be able to escape today.

su xiaoxiao said seriously, “who’s the mastermind and what have you done to let us down? tell me the truth and i’ll leave your corpse intact.”

sikong yun’s expression was indescribable. “no way? is it still so tragic after i confessed?”

su xiaoxiao said, “it’ll be even worse if you don’t tell me. i’ll slowly torture you and make you wish you were dead!”

sikong yun asked bitterly, “is there really a need to be so ruthless?”

“who’s your mastermind? is it grandmaster hui jue… the eldest princess?”

shock flashed across sikong yun’s eyes. “you…”

su xiaoxiao said, “you’re surprised that i can guess, right? why did she deal with the wei family? it’s because she couldn’t be with lord wu an and was forced to give up her child, so she held a grudge and decided to kill all the descendants of lord wu an, right?”

sikong yun looked at su xiaoxiao in shock. “you even know about her entanglement with lord wu an?”

su xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head. “you don’t have to follow my words. since you can’t provide any new valuable information, it’s useless to keep you. grandfather, keep him here and slowly torture him to death!”

sikong yun’s expression changed. “girl! it’s not good to be too ferocious!”

r

lwvo secret guards entered and held sikong yun’s arm.

sikong yun hurriedly said, “i have news!”

qin canglan raised his hand and gestured for the two secret guards to leave.

sikong yun took a deep breath and touched his head. he said, “i can tell you this news, but you have to spare my life. i promise you that my life is valuable.” su xiaoxiao wouldn’t be led by the nose. “that depends on the information you provide. is it worth living for a few days?”

this girl… really didn’t suffer any losses.

sikong yun made up his mind and sighed. “alright, alright, i’ve said it. that fetus back then… didn’t die. she gave birth in july and it shouldn’t have survived, but that child was lucky and forcefully survived.”

“who is it?” wei ting asked.

sikong yun closed his eyes. “helian ye..”
