chapter 655: call me grandpa

translator: atlas studios editor: atlas studios

su xiaoxiao went to the posthouse early in the morning to treat helian ye. at that time, although there was no one else in the room, she was worried that helian ye would wake up halfway and see something he shouldn’t see. therefore, su xiaoxiao waited until she returned to the wei family before entering the pharmacy.

when she came out to hold the small metal box again, the little worm inside did not react.

“alright, i’ve removed the gu.”

the pharmacy was impressive; it was simply awesome.

at the same time, she also replenished some first aid medicine.

“i have to find an opportunity to try the upper limit of the number of times i enter every day. if i go in a few times a day, can i stack the number of times i didn’t go before?”

su xiaoxiao felt that the latter was unlikely. she did not enter the pharmacy often. if she could stack them, she would have been able to enter when she took the test results of prince nanyang and xiao zhonghua.

there was no hurry. she could try slowly.

her real priority pertained to two things.

first, investigate king nanyang. although she wanted to set her goal as killing king nanyang, considering king nanyang’s rank, killing him was probably not that simple.

second, kill the gu master.

the reason could not be simpler. this person was too dangerous and could cast gu invisibly. even moxie and wei ting were affected one after another. no one could guarantee who would be next.

the only fortunate thing was that he did not have many powerful gu on hand. he could not bear to use them on people who were not related. for example, moxie and the two sacrificial soldiers were only given the lowest-grade gu. the gu did not live for long and the gu did not have to be removed.

his main target was wei ting.

next was jing yi, who had offended zhao kangning.

she could still cure wei ting after he was poisoned, but it was too much of an effort for a little fat peacock like her.

if jing yi was poisoned, he would be finished.

in conclusion, the gu master had to die.

“i can only kill them. i can’t bring anyone else. if they’re poisoned by a powerful gu, i won’t be able to cure them… it’s fine if wei ting is poisoned.

wei ting pushed the door open and entered. he glanced at someone in disbelief. “what are you muttering about?”

“nothing.” su xiaoxiao crossed out wei ting’s option on the notebook and quietly put it away.

“where did you go? i haven’t seen you since you came back. did you do something bad behind my back again?”

wei ting chuckled. “you’re watching so closely. it seems you can’t bear to leave me?”

su xiaoxiao did not retort, “what do you know? this is called developing feelings over time…” no, she was a pure little fairy.

su xiaoxiao decisively changed the topic. “where are dahu and the others?” wei ting said, “they went to class. big brother sent him there. sixth brother will pick them up after school.”

“i’ll pick them up!”

at the same time, she planned to kill the gu master.

wei ting looked suspiciously at a certain someone’s back and nodded seriously.

“yes, i still have strength. i can continue at night.”

su xiaoxiao didn’t know that she had been targeted by a certain guy again.

she got into the carriage and left the wei family.

halfway through, she saw su xuan strolling on the street.

su xuan was wearing a blue and white imperial college uniform. he was as handsome as jade and looked peerless.

why didn’t she realize that fourth cousin was so pleasing to the eye in the past…

it was useless to nourish the eyes. this guy had returned from the palace and was still not going to the directorate for class. the situation was very serious! su xiaoxiao stopped the carriage and looked at su xuan. “fourth cousin!”

su xuan turned his head and smiled at her. he walked over. “cousin.”

su xiaoxiao was like a parent who had caught a delinquent. she asked seriously, “fourth cousin, are you skipping class again? isn’t the fall quarter examination next month?”

su xuan smiled. “i came out to relax. where are you going?”

su xiaoxiao said, “oh, i… went to do something.”

su xuan asked, “are you investigating king nanyang? su xiaoxiao looked around and asked softly, “you know too?”

su xuan smiled and said, “i heard it from big brother.”

yes, su xuan and su li had both gone to the palace.

su xiaoxiao probed, “fourth cousin, do you know where king nanyang is hiding?”

“i don’t know,” su xuan said. “but you can keep an eye on someone.”

“who?” su xiaoxiao asked.

“xu qing.”

su xiaoxiao was shocked.

wasn’t xu qing qin jiang’s subordinate? later on, he was sent by qin jiang to protect qin yanran.

was he actually king nanyang’s lackey?

did qin jiang know? or was qin jiang… also king nanyang’s subordinate?

su xiaoxiao recalled carefully and rejected the last two guesses.

if qin jiang was really king nanyang’s man, with king nanyang’s ambition and methods, it was impossible for him to let qin jiang lose his military power.

qin jiang was not capable enough and was not chosen by king nanyang.

the reason why he planted xu qing next to qin jiang was only to monitor qin canglan.

therefore, he latched onto qin yanran and took the opportunity to sneak into the eldest prince’s residence.

“could it be that xu qing secretly instigated qin yanran to seduce the eldest prince as her secondary consort?”

that was very likely!

since he could not stay in the protectorate, it was good to infiltrate the royal family. xiao duye was the eldest son of emperor jing xuan. he had the most chances to see emperor jing xuan and the most support for ascending the throne.

or rather, he used to have the most support

the tide was in xiao zhonghua’s favor now.

after assisting xiao duye to ascend the throne and killing him, he would imitate the actions of the previous emperor back then and become the emperor’s uncle. then, king nanyang would be able to rule the world.

king nanyang’s plan… was terrifying!

“but fourth cousin, how did you know that xu qing is his man?”

su xuan didn’t answer anymore. he smiled and said, “i’ll leave first. see you another day.”

at pear blossom lane, ling yun waited for a long time, but deng an and the three little rascals did not return. he frowned and personally went to the orchard to look.

in the end, he saw deng an lying on the ground.

he shook deng an awake. ‘where’re my disciples?”

deng an looked around in confusion, not understanding what had happened.

ling yun touched deng an’s heart with his fingertips, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. “gu master?”

in a courtyard in the suburbs, king nanyang saw three cute children. they looked identical and were obviously triplets.

the more king nanyang looked at them, the more familiar it felt. there was an indescribable feeling.

the gu master continued to take credit. “master, they’re children of the wei family! if we capture them, we won’t be afraid of not being able to control wei ting!

“the wei family?” king nanyang frowned suspiciously. he walked up to the three children and looked down at them.

the three of them also looked up at him with big black eyes. they were extremely cute.

the three of them did not disguise themselves today. they looked exactly like xiao min. if not for the fact that they were dressed like boys, they would have looked like three little xiao mins.

king nanyang looked at the three of them steadily. “who’s your mother?”

dahu shook his head. “i can’t tell you.”

king nanyang said again, “where’s dad?”

dahu said, “wei ting.”

he sold his father without hesitation.

erhu tilted his head and looked at him. “who are you? did you ask that person to bring us over? have you greeted master? you have to greet him. master will be worried.”

king nanyang looked at them without blinking.

suddenly, someone called out, “grandpa!”
