Princess Hui An widened her eyes and said, “She, she, she’s my sidekick. Of course, she has to tell me!”

Princess Jingning chuckled. “Your sidekick? Did she agree?”

Princess Hui An looked at Su Xiaoxiao fiercely.

Princess Jingning also looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was sandwiched between the two of them and blinked.

At this critical moment, Eunuch Cheng walked over with a smile. “Physician Su, you’re here. The Empress Dowager called for you.”

She had never felt that Eunuch Cheng was so cute!

Xiaohu stayed in Yongshou Palace for the entire afternoon. Emperor Jing Xuan also came over to sit for a while. He wanted to stay for a while longer, but there were too many memorials. He could only get close to the little guy another day.

Before leaving, Xiaohu had already fallen asleep.

Looking at the cute little fellow in her arms, the Empress Dowager’s eyes flickered. “I feel like I’m dreaming.”

After crossing the emperor’s path, this kind of honorable family joy was something she did not dare to dream of in the past.

Her heart was about to melt.

Even if she had to exchange her life for it, it was worth it.

“Does Jingning know?” she suddenly asked.

“She knows,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “She won’t tell anyone.”

The Empress Dowager sighed. “That child… was smart since she was young. Unfortunately, she was born in the Great Zhou. If she was in Western Jin…

There had been an empress in the Western Jin, and all the princes and princesses had the possibility of becoming the crown prince.

The Empress Dowager hugged Xiaohu tightly until it was late. If he didn’t leave soon, he would be locked in the palace.

Su Xiaoxiao sent Xiaohu to the Imperial Astronomy Center first.

When Dahu and Erhu saw their stinky brother return, they ran over and gave him a hug.

Knowing that Xiaohu was safe and sound, Qin Canglan, Wei Liulang, Su Cheng, and Su MO heaved a sigh of relief.

Su MO asked, “However, how did Xiaohu stay for the entire day without being discovered?”

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Didn’t the Grand Astronomer tell you?”

Su MO shook his head. “He only said that Xiaohu went to sleep when there was nothing else. ”

The Grand Astronomer was exhausted, okay? He had worked hard all night to refine pills and racked his brains to fabricate a story all morning. He was completely empty and did not want to say another word to anyone.

Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat. “Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just that Xiaohu… has a wild father.”

Su MO was speechless.

And so was Wei Liulang.

Emperor Jing Xuan was immersed in the joy of reuniting with his son but did not forget to pursue the matter of the palace maid releasing the poisonous snake.

Previously, it was poison, and now there were poisonous snakes. The palace was almost infiltrated by the White Lotus Society.

Emperor Jing Xuan decided to thoroughly investigate the entire palace. He had to eliminate all the spies of the White Lotus Society.

It was not enough to rely on the Internal Affairs Department alone. The last time the Internal Affairs Director did it, it was not cleaned up.

Emperor Jing Xuan had transferred the Guards Legion Corps to participate in the investigation with the Ministry of Justice.

Su Cheng received a transfer order from the Imperial City Division and was appointed to temporarily replace the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.

The Imperial Guards had a total of four deputy commanders. They had investigated one during the Qin Jiang Competition and sacrificed one a few days ago in the peach forest.

Su Cheng asked his father if he had to go. Qin Canglan said, “This is a rare opportunity to train. Go.”

In other words, it was not a lucrative job.

Su Cheng said, “Oh.”

In order to prevent anyone from secretly operating, the location of the investigation was decided by drawing lots.

The first place Su Cheng drew for investigation was the Grand Empress Dowager’s Zhaoyang Hall.

At sunset.

The Imperial Court’s peace negotiation team had been waiting at the entrance of the peach forest for the entire day.

General Leng’s face darkened. His son was still in the hands of the White Lotus Society.

Leng Zhiruo also came. She was still dressed as a guard.

Xiao Zhonghua sat at the master seat in the big tent with Jing Yi guarding behind him.

The Old Marquis was below him.

The Old Marquis and Xiao Zhonghua were very calm.

One was scheming, and the other was strategizing. In short, they did not show their emotions.

The minister of the Dali Temple and the advisor walked in.

The two of them were not officials in the peace talks. They were only in charge of guarding the entrance.

The minister of the Dali Temple cupped his hands. “Your Highness, there’s still no movement from the White Lotus Society.”

General Leng frowned. “Has the letter of peace negotiation really been sent to the White Lotus Society?”

Xiao Zhonghua said, “Jing Yi personally gave it to them. There’s no mistake.”

Jing Yi glanced at General Leng. He had nothing to do with the Leng family, but Su Xiaoxiao’s attitude in the forest also determined his attitude towards the Leng family today.

He said coldly, “Your Leng family can send it another time.”

General Leng was an elder and his official position was above Jing Yi’s. Jing Yi’s words were considered disrespectful.

However, Jing Yi was the Young Marquis and the Third Prince’s cousin. General Leng could not really argue with Jing Yi.

The minister tried to smooth things over. “There are many entrances to the peach forest. Should we go to the other entrances to take a look?”

Xiao Zhonghua said, “There’s no need. Our every move is under the surveillance of the White Lotus Society. If the White Lotus Society wanted to negotiate, they would have come here long ago.”

The assistant couldn’t help but say, “So they don’t intend to negotiate with the Imperial Court?”

Xiao Zhonghua was polite to the wise. He ignored his question just because of his low status. “They are giving the Imperial Court an opening gambit.”

The assistant was flattered and scolded, “They are just from the White Lotus Society. How arrogant!”

The Old Marquis said nothing from the beginning to the end.

After leading soldiers for so many years, he had long stopped getting involved in such meaningless verbal battles. Other than the old beast, he could not be bothered to waste his breath on anyone.

General Leng’s gaze landed behind the Old Marquis. “Marquis Su, this guard of yours doesn’t look familiar.” The Old Marquis took a sip of tea. “Yes.” There was nothing else.

So what if he didn’t look familiar?

Was it illegal?

How many guards did he have to explain to General Leng?

Who the hell was he?

Although the Old Marquis doted on Su Cheng and the others, they were stinky rocks that no one could chew on in front of outsiders..
