She had obtained the gold and dug out the secret from back then.
She had basically achieved her goal this time. It was impossible for her to immediately obtain too many useful clues without alerting the enemy.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting decided to leave the mountain immediately.
In order to dispel the doubts of the few big shots, Su Xiaoxiao borrowed those guards from them and asked them to move the gold down the mountain. The three of them agreed.
They wanted to quickly send this little plague away. They did not want to see her again for a moment!
Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe had just gone up the mountain and did not expect to head down so soon. The two of them could not walk anymore and could only rest in the small bamboo garden for the night.
Fu Su stayed in the mine and continued to probe in secret. Yuchi Xiu would come to contact him regularly.
The group went down the mountain and rested in the villa for the night.
The next day, Uncle Quan and Cheng Sang returned to the Cheng family with “gold”.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting sent Wei Xu back to Changliu Lane and told Ghostfear, Wei Qing, and Wei Liulang about their discoveries in the mine.
“A man who looks exactly like the King of the Southern Wilderness?” Wei Liulang was extremely surprised.
Ghostfear and Wei Qing were also very stunned.
They had expected that there was a secret hidden in the mine, but they did not expect it to be such a big secret.
“Could it be that they just look alike?” Wei Liulang asked.
Ghostfear said, “If it’s just looks, there’s no need to imprison him.”
Su Xiaoxiao agreed. “That’s right. Moreover, that person doesn’t look like an ordinary person.”
“What do you think, Second Brother?” Wei Ting asked Wei Qing.
Wei Qing pondered for a moment and said, “There has always been an ominous saying in the Imperial Family of the Southern Wilderness about twins. One is Yang, and the other is Yin. Yin conflicts with the aura of Dragon Yang. If the Imperial Family gives birth to twins, regardless of gender, they can either keep one or none.”
“What if they’re twins of different gender?” Wei Liulang asked.
Ghostfear glared at his stinky brother speechlessly.
His gaze seemed to be questioning if he really wanted to bicker.
“Ahem.” Wei Liulang submitted to the suppression of his eldest brother’s dominance. “Second Brother, continue.” Wei Qing said, “You can also only keep one.”
Wei Liulang stuck out his tongue at Ghostfear.
Ghostfear was itching.
Su Xiaoxiao imagined, “Could it be that the Queen of the Southern Wilderness had twins back then and kept one, but she couldn’t bear to execute the other, so she secretly sent him out to be raised among the commoners?”
Wei Qing nodded. “I think it’s possible.”
Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
The little fat peacock liked to guess, but he had to admit that she was right nine times out of ten.
Wei Liulang was puzzled. “But isn’t he imprisoned under the mine? Was he imprisoned there since he was young, or was he captured thereafter he grew up?
Wei Qing said seriously, “First of all, we’re not sure if the one imprisoned is the one who was sent away back then or the real King of the Southern Wilderness.”
Wei Liulang trembled. “No way, Second Brother?”
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “The brother, who grew up among the commoners, held a grudge and found an opportunity to approach his brother and replace him… This is also very convincing.”
Wei Liulang was terrified. “No way. Is the royal family of the Southern Wilderness so exciting?
Wei Ting said seriously, “The most important thing is to figure out who the real King of the Southern Wilderness is.”
Su Xiaoxiao agreed.
It would have been fine if the real and fake King of the Southern Wilderness had nothing to do with the Cheng family, but Cheng Sang had already been involved.
They had to resolve this matter, or Cheng Sang would be in danger.
She would ask the Head of the Secret Service. If he had the key to the secret room in the mine, he must know the inside story!
Elder Lou had gone home today, but she felt that she might as well not return.
That little girl burned down her kitchen.
She was saved by a little annoying guy.
Elder Lou had never felt it inappropriate to stay here for long like today. She decisively slipped away and returned to the Holy Maiden Temple.
She decided that before the little annoying guy left the southern border, she would never come over again!
In the courtyard, Princess Hui An looked at Su Xuan with a dark expression. “I’m sorry. I just felt that the fire was too big and wanted to splash some water, but it turned out to be oil…
Su Xuan closed his eyes and clenched his fists. He said expressionlessly, “When the fire is too big, use the fire tongs to take out some firewood. You don’t have to splash water.”
Princess Hui An asked weakly, “What are fire tongs?” Su Xuan was speechless.
Su Xuan sighed helplessly. “Forget it, let’s go out and eat.”
Princess Hui An did not move.
Su Xuan asked, “What’s wrong?”
Princess Hui An said aggrievedly, “I don’t want to go out to eat…”
She missed home.
She missed her mother and brother.
There was also her grandmother and Jingning.
This was the first time she had left the palace for so long.
Su Xuan’s gaze swept across her slightly moist eyes and he said softly, “Go to the central room and wait.’
Su Xuan entered the half-burnt kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, opened the noodle jar, scooped out a bowl of white noodles, and borrowed a few green onions from next door.
Princess Hui An did not enter the central room. She lay at the kitchen door and widened her teary eyes, watching Su Xuan cook without blinking. Su Xuan was handsome and pleasing to the eye when he cooked.
Su Xuan made two bowls of Yang Chun noodles.
“That’s all I know how to do.” Su Xuan said.
Yang Chun noodles were not a delicacy in the capital, but they were at least from the Great Zhou. Princess Hui An often ate them outside the palace.
She sat opposite Su Xuan and tasted it.
It was the taste of the capital.
The tears she had finally held back welled up again. A slender jade-like hand passed her a handkerchief. “Here.” Princess Hui An didn’t look up or reach out to take it.
“Don’t look. My nose is running… A iprincess can’t have snot…” Su Xuan was speechless.
Princess Hui An finished her Yang Chun noodles in tears.
Su Xuan saw her snotty face.
If it was Su Li, he would definitely laugh to death.
Su Xuan didn’t.
He just sat there quietly.
Princess Hui An was full and had cried enough. She pulled Su Xuan’s sleeve. “I’m afraid of snakes.’
Su Xuan pointed at her room helplessly. “Princess, go rest first. I’ll keep watch for you tonight.”
Princess Hui An looked at him and asked, “Have your injuries healed?”
Su Xuan said, “I’ve recovered.”
“Oh.”
Princess Hui An returned to her room excitedly.
It was about to rain and it was a little stuffy at night.
Princess Hui An kicked off the blanket and turned around. Her fair and smooth arm hung by the edge of the bed beside Su Xuan.
Su Xuan sat on his feet and quietly flipped a page of a book.
Princess Hui An leaned towards him again and pressed her cheek against his back.
She slept soundly, with her warm breath burning his clothes. Through the thin material of his clothes, it burned his cold skin. He had a heart that could not be warmed.
“Su Xuan…”
Princess Hui An spoke in a daze. “Can I help you, Princess?”
“Well .
Su Xuan turned around, wanting to ask her what instructions she had.
Princess Hui An suddenly slipped from the human-shaped guardrail and rolled down the bed.
Su Xuan caught her quickly.
So she was talking in his sleep…
Su Xuan carried the sleeping princess back to the bed.
The moment he put her down, Princess Hui An suddenly stretched out her snow-white and soft arm and wrapped it around his neck..
