Chapter 658: Strength as a Mother

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Su Xiaoxiao bade farewell to Su Xuan, she went to the Eldest Prince’s residence and hid in the dark, waiting for Xu Qing to appear.

Xiao Duye left.

The Eldest Princess Consort left.

Even Qin Yanran left the residence in a carriage, but Xu Qing was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was wondering if Xu Qing was not at the Eldest Prince’s residence at all, Xu Qing drove a carriage out.

The moment the curtain was blown up by the wind, Su Xiaoxiao acutely observed that the carriage was empty.

“To pick up Qin Yanran? But Qin Yanran has her own carriage…”

Su Xiaoxiao was muttering when she saw Xu Qing’s carriage go west. Qin Yanran went east. The direction was inconsistent and had nothing to do with

Qin Yanran.

It seemed he had used Qin Yanran as a shield.

Su Xiaoxiao followed.

This was not the first time she had followed Xu Qing, but Xu Qing’s degree of care when working for King Nanyang was different from his work for Qin Jiang.

She had lost Xu Qing.

“No wonder Su MO told me to be careful of this guy. He’s indeed capable.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and carried Wu Hu out of the carriage. Ever since the young princess had a new pet, Sihu, Wuhu had become a tiger consort who had lost her favor.

The little golden snake called Ruyi had yet to say anything, so the Wuhu naturally did not complain.

Finally, there was a new mission. Wuhu expressed that it was a snitch with high fighting spirit again!

Wuhu went to look for Xu Qing.

A bird looking for someone was always faster than a person looking for someone, provided it was a trained bird.

Fortunately, the Great Elder of the White Lotus Society had trained Wuhu extremely well, but its bottom line when it came it to its was a little poor… it did not hesitate to sell out his master.

The carriage stopped near a market. People came and went, and the traffic was heavy. For a moment, no one noticed this side.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t wait in the carriage. She replayed what had happened recently in her mind.

King Nanyang was a stronger opponent than MO Guiyuan. Although he was younger, he was talented, smarter than MO Guiyuan, better at scheming, and most likely more cold-blooded.

He should have returned to the capital for the will.

Back then, when the two princes fought for the throne, they each held a secret decree of the previous emperor. The difference was that at the last step of the competition for the throne, King Nanyang’s secret decree was suddenly lost.

The reason for their loss was unknown. The Wei family suspected that it was done by Prince Ruyang.

According to Wei Ting, the loss of the secret decree made Prince Nanyang lose his advantage and lose his legitimacy. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Prince Ruyang ascended the throne.

The Wei family had always thought that the secret decree in Prince Ruyang’s hand was fake—he had stolen a blank imperial decree, coerced the palm print eunuch and the pen eunuch, and tampered with the decree.

However, from the looks of it, it was probably King Nanyang’s that was fake.

What Su Xiaoxiao was really concerned about was whether King Nanyang’s secret decree had really been lost.

If it was not lost but hidden by him, he would only have to destroy the previous emperor’s edict and kill Emperor Jing Xuan before taking the secret decree to ascend the throne…

Ghostfear was not dead, Wei Yan was not dead, and the two of them could not hide in the dark for the rest of their lives. In addition, she now knew the content of the will. The first thing King Nanyang would do after ascending the throne would definitely kill all of them to silence them.

“If we want to stop him from ascending the throne, we definitely can’t let the will fall into his hands.”

After she sorted out the thoughts in her mind, Wuhu returned.

However, it opened its mouth and said, “Dahu! Erhu! Xiaohu!”

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned cold!

In the courtyard, Xu Qing was about to leave when his ears suddenly twitched.

“Who is it!”

A bird flew away.

The Gu Master smiled. “It’s just a bird. I say, aren’t you being too paranoid?”

Xu Qing focused and carefully sensed the aura around him. After confirming that no strangers were following him, he did not say anything else.

‘You’re leaving just like that?” The Gu Master stood under the corridor and watched him walk down the steps leisurely. “You’re really boring. I kindly said a few words to you, but you ignored me. Are you also so cold and heartless to your Miss Qin? Or do you only have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex?”

Xu Qing suddenly turned around, and the muscles on his legs burst out with vigor. He took a few steps forward, grabbed the Gu Master’s neck, and coldly slammed him into the hard wall behind him.

The dust on the wall fell and pounced on the two of them.

Cough, cough, cough!

The Gu Master choked. “1 was just joking. Do you have to be so serious? Alright, alright, alright. I won’t mention her again. Can you let go of me?”

The Gu Master knew very well that Xu Qing would not kill him, but he could still make him suffer.

He did not have many Gu left and did not want to waste them on his own people.

Xu Qing let go coldly.

The Gu Master touched his neck which was in pain. “It’s been a few years since we last met, but your temper is still so bad! I was just joking with you when Master wasn’t around. I won’t say this in front of Master. It’s not easy for us either. Who doesn’t have their secrets, right?” ignored him and turned to leave.

The Gu Master stopped him. “Hey, you’ve been with Master longer than me. Do you know what happened just now?”

A few little troublemakers climbed onto their Master’s legs and even hugged their Master’s neck.

Master hated it the most when others approached him, but he actually did not throw the little troublemakers away.

The Gu Master could only retreat.

After that, the three little fellows transformed into small tails and followed behind their Master until they fell asleep in their Master’s room.

“Master doesn’t seem to be such a sentimental person… Could it be that Master is planning to use those little fellows to threaten the Wei family?”

“I don’t know,” Xu Qing said expressionlessly.

The Gu Master smiled faintly. “Don’t you know Master the best? How can you not guess what Master is thinking?”

Xu Qing asked, ‘Why do you think I was punished today?”

The Gu Master choked.

Xu Qing warned, “It’s best if you don’t guess Master’s thoughts. Do your duties obediently, or you will have to taste what I went through today.”

Thinking of Xu Qing’s lacerated skin, the Gu Master’s scalp went numb.

The Gu Master snorted. “I dont care. Anyway, Master promised me that I could use them as Gu children. I’ll catch one now to feed the Gu worms!”

Xu Qing couldn’t stand his dirty tricks, but he didn’t stop him.

The two of them parted ways. One went to catch the sleeping children, and the other went back home.

However, the moment the two of them passed each other, Xu Qing instinctively sensed a dangerous aura.

In the night, the sound of air breaking approached from afar and sped towards the two of them at lightning speed!

Xu Qing slapped the Gu Master away and suddenly pulled out his saber, breaking one of the arrows!

Another arrow pierced deeply into the wall, and the tail of the arrow swayed, showing how strong it was. If Xu Qing had not pushed the Gu Master away just now, his head would have been pierced and his brain would have splattered all over the ground.

The Gu Master shuddered and hurriedly hid behind the pillar.

Xu Qing looked at the night and said warily, “Don’t be sneaky. Come out!”

Swish!

Another arrow tore through the air, even faster than before!

Xu Qing slashed again and steadily cut off the arrow!

However, he did not expect that there was actually a secret hidden in the arrow this time. The moment it broke, the powder inside spilled out.

He was shocked.. “Not good! It’s knockout pills!”
