Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiao Shunyang went west to Youzhou as an imperial envoy this time, mainly to formulate a map of the south and north. Who would have thought that he would kill more than 30 corrupt officials in one go?

The officials of the Great Zhou had a huge network. Some seemingly inconspicuous officials might have an unshakable background in the court.

Xiao Shunyang had mobilized so many people and probably offended all the elders of the Imperial Court.

Putting everything else aside, one of them was Emperor Jing Xuan’s man.

However, Emperor Jing Xuan did not expect the other party to be so greedy.

It was indeed punishable— But was this child—

Emperor Jing Xuan sighed. “I understand. I have my own opinion on this matter. Your grandmother has been looking forward to seeing you for many days. Go and see her first.” “Yes, Father!”

Xiao Shunyang took his leave.

Emperor Jing Xuan sat back in his chair and pinched the space between his tired eyebrows. “Second Brother is not young anymore.. Why is he still single-minded…”

Eunuch Fu smiled and said, “Your Highness is honest and hates evil. He can’t tolerate sand in his eyes.”

Emperor Jing Xuan said helplessly, “He’s just too straightforward! The Eldest and Third Brother are secretly forming cliques. Look at him. Do you think he hasn’t offended enough people? Even my people—”

Eunuch Fu said, “Perhaps this is what’s precious about the Second Prince. The

Second Prince is dedicated to being your son and your subject.”

Emperor Jing Xuan was in his prime. It was unknown which son rolled it up first, causing the few young brats to start competing early. Why? Did they think that he would not live long and were afraid that he would go before he could set up the will?

Second Brother was the only one who did not fight and was focused on helping Emperor Jing Xuan.

Emperor Jing Xuan only said a few words, but he liked this son.

“I have to clean up the aftermath for him again. Among my many sons, I ve wiped his butt the most!”

Eunuch Fu smiled and walked forward to grind ink for Emperor Jing Xuan.

Xiao Shunyang went to Yongshou Palace. The Empress, Consort Zhao, Princess Jingning, and Princess Hui An were also there.

“Grandmother! Mother!”

He lifted the hem and knelt down to the two of them.

The Empress Dowager said, “You can also give your mother a bow.”

Xiao Shunyang’s mother passed away early. His first adoptive mother, Consort

Chen, abused him. After being discovered by the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager deposed Consort Chen. Seeing that the little fellow was pitiful, she carried the young Xiao Shunyang to Yongshou Palace to raise him for two years.

Consort Zhao was his second adoptive mother.

“Mother!” Xiao Shunyang knelt down to Consort Zhao.

Consort Zhao helped him up with tears in her eyes. “You’ve been gone for so long… I was so worried…”

The Empress Dowager said, “What are you worried about? Isn’t he as strong as an ox?”

Everyone in the room laughed.

The two princesses also called him Second Brother. Xiao Shunyang smiled and said, “Jingning has grown taller.”

“What about me?” Princess Hui An asked impatiently.

Competing with Jingning was her mission in life.

Xiao Shunyang said frankly, “You didn’t grow taller.”

Princess Hui An was speechless.

Xiao Shunyang sat beside the Empress Dowager. Seeing that the Empress dowager was clearly rosier than in the past, he could not help but say, “Grandmother looks much better. I wonder which imperial physician contributed.”

The Empress Dowager said calmly, “She’s a little girl from the Qin family. She’s your two sisters’ classmate. Her medical skills are barely passable.”

After sitting in the Yongshou Palace for a while, the Empress and Consort Zhao left for something. It was time for Xiao Shunyang to leave.

He said, “Grandmother, I want to visit the Grand Empress Dowager.”

When he was young, he was a prince who was bullied. The Empress Dowager had helped him a few times. In addition, Guo Huan, who often entered Zhaoyang Hall, was his only playmate when he was young.

The Empress Dowager also knew about this. “Go.”

Bai Xihe had been obediently staying in the palace to “cultivate” and did not go out to cause trouble. Her days were a little boring.

Little Yunzi came to the small garden and said to Bai Xihe under the crab apple tree, “Master, His Second Highness requests an audience.”

She put down the notebook in her hand and took a copy of the Book of Songs to cover it.

Xiao Shunyang came with Eunuch Cheng.

He was an adult prince. It was not appropriate for him to come to Zhaoyang Hall alone.

He stared at Bai Xihe from afar.

Bai Xihe was wearing a lake-blue palace dress. She sat under the blooming Four Seasons Begonia Flower, making the courtyard pale in comparison.

The beauty in the world was very colorful, and she occupied 90% of it.

Bai Xihe raised her head gently and looked at Xiao Shunyang. She asked coldly,

“The Second Prince is back. Was your trip to Youzhou difficult?”

Xiao Shunyang came back to his senses and looked at Bai Xihe. “It’s not bitter to serve the people. I can only miss… my hometown and find it difficult to let go.”

As Bai Xihe looked at the blue sky, her beautiful side profile was exquisite like jade.

“I…” Xiao Shunyang hesitated and looked at Eunuch Cheng behind him. Eunuch Cheng muttered, “I’m not looking, so I’m not an eyesore.”

Xiao Shunyang said, “Is the Grand Empress Dowager alright?”

Bai Xi said calmly, “I’m fine.”

Xiao Shunyang continued, “I heard about Guo Huan. I’ll find the mastermind.”

“Yeah.”

Bai Xihe’s attitude was still a little distant.

Xiao Shunyang did not know what to say next. Eunuch Cheng was about to suggest, “Take your leave, Your Highness!” Xiao Shunyang did not move for a long time.

Bai Xihe flipped through the Book of Poetry in her hand and asked, “Have you returned to the residence?”

Xiao Shunyang said, “Not yet.”

Bai Xihe said, “Hurry up and go back. Ning’er must miss you very much.” Ninger was Xiao Shunyang’s main consort.

Xiao Shunyang lowered his handsome eyes and said in a low voice, “Yes…” Xiao Shunyang left the palace.

Eunuch Cheng returned to Yongshou Palace to report to the Empress Dowager.

“He saw the Grand Empress Dowager and spoke a little. The Grand Empress Dowager asked him to quickly return to the prince’s residence to see the second prince’s wife.”

The Empress Dowager did not say anything and picked up the medicine bowl to drink expressionlessly.

Su Xiaoxiao left the palace.

Su MO had something on today, so Su Mo’s coachman came to pick her up.

Just as she was about to get in, the Guo family’s carriage stopped in front of her.

A servant jumped down and bowed respectfully to Su Xiaoxiao. “Are you

Physician Su?”

“It’s me,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

The servant said politely, “My young master suddenly has unbearable abdominal pain. He hasn’t improved even after hiring an imperial physician. Can Physician Su head to the Prime Minister’s Estate to treat my young master?”

“Your eldest young master?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“Yes,” the servant replied.

Could it be that Su Li finally had a clue?

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

Su Xiaoxiao instructed the coachman and got into the Guo family’s carriage to the Prime Minister’s residence.

Su Li had been pretending to be ill in the Prime Minister’s residence for a few days. Without leaving the room, mushrooms were about to grow on his head.

“Doctor Su, my young master is inside.”

The servant’s voice came.

Su Li instantly came back to life. He sat up and thought of something before lying down resentfully. “I’ll go in. Wait outside.”

“Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao entered the room.

The servant secretlv looked in.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled open a door with one hand and looked at him calmly.

The servant smiled awkwardly in return.

Su Xiaoxiao closed the door coldly, and the servant’s smile froze.

Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed and whispered, “Tell me, what’s the news?”

Su Li pouted gloomily. “What? You asked for news as soon as you arrived, but you don’t care about me! I’m about to die of boredom here! If I had known, I would have gone to the Directorate for class!” Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Are you sure you can get in?”

Su Li was speechless.

Su Li threw Su Xiaoxiao a note with a dark expression. “It’s a letter from a pigeon. It’s all nonsense. I don’t know what it says. Take a look for yourself!” Su Xiaoxiao unfolded the note and looked at it. “Nine o’clock, the gambling den. ”

Su Li’s sick body trembled!

No way.. Did she recognize this?
