Chapter 906: Siblings Meet

After accidentally betraying Su Xuan, Princess Hui An crossed her fingers guiltily and began to divert the topic.

“Um… um… didn’t you come with my second brother? Where’s my second brother?”

Your second brother was dumped.

Su Xiaoxiao stared at her evasive eyes solemnly. “Don’t change the topic. What’s going on?”

Princess Hui An whispered, “I just wanted to look for you.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her skeptically. “That’s it?”

Princess Hui An curled her lips and said, “Also, I don’t want to get married. You don’t know this, but not long after you and Brother Ting left the capital, Father decided a marriage I don’t fancy.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “So you’re running away from the marriage?”

Princess Hui An was a little angry. “Isn’t that because you’re not around? What if you can’t find me after I got married? Also, I’m very worried about you… I’m afraid that you won’t have a good life in the southern border… I heard that the people of the southern border are all southern barbarians… They’re cruel and unreasonable…

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s not that exaggerated…”

“Wuah…

As Princess Hui An spoke, she suddenly felt aggrieved.

She shouted at the top of her lungs and wailed at the sky.

One of them was dressed as a woman, and the other was dressed as a young man. In the end, it was the young man who cried— This was a little intriguing.

Everyone looked at them curiously.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled her wrist and brought her to her carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao instructed the coachman, “Keep an eye on him and don’t let anyone approach.”

The coachman agreed. “Yes, Young Miss.”

“Why did he call you Little Miss?” Princess Hui An asked, sobbing. “It’s just a title. Tell me about you. What’s going on?”

“You’re still fierce to me…” Princess Hui An couldn’t stop crying.

“I’m not…”

There was no choice. Xiaohu was the best crybaby in the family. She wiped her tears and handed her snacks, finally coaxing this princess to stop crying.

Princess Hui An explained the situation.

It turned out that the southern border had come to propose marriage again.

Emperor Jing Xuan originally disdained a small clan like the southern border.

No matter what, he would not marry a noble princess into the southern border.

However, as Qin Canglan pushed into the hinterland of Northern Yan, Emperor Jing Xuan began to feel uneasy.

He issued a few imperial decrees to summon Qin Canglan back to the court, but all of them sank into the sea.

If he probed, it would point to the hard truth that Qin Canglan would not accept the orders of the emperor.

He had cut off Qin Canglan’s rations, but Qin Canglan had most of the military salary left behind by Su Xiaoxiao and did not need his rations at all.

Qin Canglan was one of Emperor Jing Xuan’s most powerful pillars of military might. If even he was not controlled, how could Emperor Jing Xuan sit steadily?

He could not directly dismiss Qin Canglan, afraid that it would cause a mutiny at the border.

At this moment, the southern border’s second marriage proposal gave a very tempting sincerity—military strength.

The Qin, Su, and Wei families linked through marriage, leaving only the Leng family on Emperor Jing Xuan’s side. However, the Leng family was about to be killed off by Qin Canglan.

Emperor Jing Xuan felt like there was a thorn in his back, so he decided to drive the tiger away.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and said, “This is inviting a wolf into the house! My grandfather has never coveted that position. He only wants to protect the people of the Great Zhou. If we don’t kill Northern Yan, the border will be in chaos. We have to teach Northern Yan a bloody lesson to protect the border for

20 years.”

Twenty years of recuperation could allow the people at the border to live a good life, and it could also protect more soldiers from the flames of war.

To put it bluntly, this generation had to make heroic sacrifices just for the sake of the future generations.

Princess Hui An choked and said, “My third brother said the same thing, but

Father didn’t listen at all. He even locked my third brother up.”

Xiao Zhonghua should not have been locked up because he spoke up for Qin Canglan . It was very likely that he was guarding against this son doing something to destroy the marriage between the two countries.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Then, how did you leave the capital?”

Princess Hui An said, “I told Father that I wanted to go to the temple to accompany Imperial Grandmother before I left. In the future, when I marry into the southern border, I won’t be able to see her again. Father agreed, and I escaped halfway… It went quite smoothly. Not long after I left the capital, I met your fourth cousin. I asked him if he knew where you were in the southern border. He said that he knew and even said that he had promised you to protect me, so he came with me. Don’t blame him. I insisted on looking for you.”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Why do I feel that he abducted you?”

The Head of the Secret Service was very bad.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did he participate in the Spring Quarter Examination?”

Princess Hui An said, “Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao said in the tone of a patriarch, “What rank did he get?”

Princess Hui An shook her head. “I’m not sure. We left the capital before the rankings were released. Let’s not talk about me. Let’s talk about you. When did you come to the capital of the Southern Wilderness? Why did you disguise yourself like this? You’re so ugly.”

Princess Hui An only admitted that there were two people in the world who were prettier than her. One was Bai Xihe, and the other was her sidekick.

Unfortunately, her sidekick knew nothing about her beauty.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s a long story. I’m in a hurry to do something. Where do you live? I’ll send you back.”

Princess Hui An refused without thinking.

It was not easy for her to find her sidekick. She did not want to leave.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Aren’t you afraid that Su Xuan will be worried if he can’t find you?

Princess Hui An thought about it and felt that it made sense. It was already difficult enough for Su Xuan to follow her to the southern border. If she made him worry again, it would be too much.

Princess Hui An said, “I made an appointment with him to wait for him at the rice cake shop. I’ll leave a message for the boss.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, “Do you often go to that rice cake shop?”

Princess Hui An nodded. “Yes.”

It seemed that the rice cake shop was the same as Deng Huan’s coffin shop. It was also the stronghold of the Head of the Secret Service.

The business of the rice cake shop was so-so. It was not full of customers, nor was it too deserted.

It was time for breakfast, and the business in the shop was brisk.

Some men found the lobby noisy and wanted to go upstairs.

The waiter stopped them and said with a smile, “The upstairs is not doing business. ”

As he spoke, a white-robed man with a folding fan slowly walked upstairs.

“Then why did he go up?”

“That’s right! We’re both guests. Why can’t we go up?”

The waiter said politely, “Sirs, please calm down. He’s not a guest. He’s the owner of this shop.”

“Boss?”

“How old is that kid? Are you lying to us?”

The waiter hurriedly said, “No, no, he’s really our boss!” The men cursed and sat back down.

The man went to the accountant on the second floor.

He had just pushed open the door a crack when he paused and hurriedly closed it.

Swoosh!

A ledger flew over and caught in the crack.

“Stop right there!”

Su Xiaoxiao walked over from the chair.

The man took a deep breath, helplessly took down the account book, and pushed open the door.

He pretended not to understand and looked at someone’s disguised face. He asked softly, “May I ask who this girl is?” Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m your sister!” Su Xuan was speechless..
