Su Xuan’s body stiffened, and his feet slipped as he pressed down on her.
“I didn’t see anything!”
Su Xuan carried her with one hand and propped himself up on the bed with the other. He stopped an inch away from her.
Her warm breath lingered on the tip of his nose.
Her long eyelashes almost swept across his face.
Su Xuan pulled his hand out and pulled the blanket over her.
Su Xiaoxiao covered her eyes and touched the door as if she was blind. She closed it for the two of them. “Continue…
Seriously, the Head of the Secret Service was doing such a thing without closing the door. It would not be good.
She closed one door and was about to close the second when Su Xuan grabbed her.
Her fingers opened a crack and she secretly glanced.
“Let’s talk outside.” Su Xuan said.
Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Oh.”
The two of them came to the courtyard and sat down on the stone stool set up by the stone table.
Su Xiaoxiao asked gossipily, “What’s going on with you? Who should I address as Fourth Cousin-in-law later?” Su Xuan said, “It’s not what you think.”
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips. Su Xuan sized her up. “You came back from the mine?” “How do you know…”
Su Xiaoxiao followed his gaze and looked down at her shoes.
The soles of her shoes were stained with ore mud. If one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t notice.
As expected of the Head of the Secret Services. His observation and analysis were superb.
Su Xiaoxiao simply jumped out of the window and said, “I went to the mine and saw that person. I’m very curious…”
“Is that so?”
Su Xiaoxiao redeemed herself in a second. “No, I’m not curious! However, this concerns the Cheng family, so I have to figure it out. Did you know the secret in the mine long ago?”
Su Xuan did not deny it.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is he the King of the Southern Wilderness, or is the one in the palace the King of the Southern Wilderness?”
Su Xuan said, “Does it matter? Whether he was in the past or not, he’s not now.” Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t refute.
When the Head of the Secret Service did not want to reveal the news, there were always a hundred ways to stop one from asking.
Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “Although that’s the case… You didn’t lure me to see him just to meet him, right? What other plans do you have?”
Su Xuan said bluntly, “Use him to deal with the King of the Southern
Wilderness in the palace.”
Su Xiaoxiao gave him a thumbs up. “How straightforward.”
Su Xuan poured Su Xiaoxiao a glass of warm water. “Get close to Xie Jinnian.”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “You even know this?”
She did not seem to have told the Head of the Secret Service that she had sent Wuhu to be a spy beside Eunuch Jin. Su Xuan smiled quietly. “Wuhu was here.”
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.
Wuhu, you traitor!
On the other hand, after Wuhu came to Xie Jinnian’s side, it lived peacefully with the black crow on the first day.
The next day, it was peaceful with the black crow.
For a few days, the two birds got along exceptionally harmoniously.
Once, the servant who took care of the Wuhu forgot to close the cage door and the Wuhu flew out.
Just as Xie Jinnian thought that he was going to lose this parrot, Wuhu magically flew back.
From then on, Xie Jinnian tried a few more times. After confirming that this bird would not leave easily, he no longer locked it in a cage.
Wuhu was very clingy to Xie Jinnian.
It followed Xie Jinnian wherever he went.
It followed him into the palace.
However, Wuhu would not disturb him. It would always play in the forest of the palace itself. When it was hungry, it would fly back to be fed.
Xie Jinnian liked this spritely parrot more and more.
He even gave Wuhu a name: Ruyi.
However, Ruyi could not learn to speak.
Xie Jinnian was also puzzled.
Like mynas, the parrot should be able to learn to speak human language.
On this day, Xie Jinnian finished serving the King of the Southern Wilderness and escorted the King’s Little Princess out of the palace to buy a common trinket.
The Little Princess had just turned seven years old and was two years younger than Yin Xiaodie.
The King of the Southern Wilderness sent experts from the imperial palace to follow secretly.
Xie Jinnian and the Little Princess sat in the spacious carriage.
Wuhu flew in.
The Little Princess asked curiously, “Whose bird flew over?”
Xie Jinnian smiled and said, “I raised it.”
The Little Princess said again, “Can I touch it?”
Xie Jinnian placed the Wuhu in the little princess’s arms.
The little princess touched it carefully.
Children did not have good control over their strength. It was sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
However, Wuhu, who had experienced the violence of the Little Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, expressed that the strength of the Little Princess of the Southern Wilderness was nothing.
Wuhu was too obedient and did not say anything. The Little Princess quickly lost interest.
“Xie Jinnian, I want to go down and play,” the little princess said.
The streets were not too crowded tonight.
Xie Jinnian held the Little Princess’s hand and got into the carriage.
It was strange for the Little Princess to see anything.
“A hairpin. ”
“Why is it made of wood?”
“This is a kind of hairpin. If Miss likes anything else, you can go to the shop to take a look.”
“I like this one.”
Xie Jinnian bought the hairpin. “I’ll keep it for Miss first. I’ll give it to Miss when I get back.”
“Okay!”
The Little Princess picked and bought along the way, and the carriage was quickly filled.
It was almost impossible for an eunuch to bring the Little Princess out.
From this, it could be seen how much the King of the Southern Border trusted Xie Jinnian.
Wuhu stood on Xie Jinnian’s shoulder and was fed a bird food from time to time.
Coincidentally, the Holy Maiden also brought Cheng Qingxue out to shop today.
This was what Cheng Lian had instructed the Saintess before she left. She had to bring her sister out more often. She was afraid that she would get sick from being bored at home.
The Holy Maiden doted on her sister.
The two of them bumped into Xie Jinnian and the little princess.
The two of them were surprised.
The Saintess did not have to bow, but Cheng Qingxue cupped her hands. “Prin..
“Miss.” Xie Jinnian reminded Cheng Qingxue in time.
“Ah, Miss.” Cheng Qingxue hurriedly changed the way she addressed her.
The Little Princess had seen the Holy Maiden a few times and had a good impression of her.
She immediately introduced Xie Jinnian’s new pet to the Holy Maiden. “Holy Maiden, Xie Jinnian raised a stupid bird.”
Wuhu’ hair stood on end!
Who was the stupid bird?
The Holy Maiden smiled and looked at the little bird on Xie Jinnian’s shoulder.
Wuhu recognized the Saintess.
The Holy Maiden did not know the Wuhu.
On the other hand, Cheng Qingxue glared. “It’s this evil bird!”
Xie Jinnian’s eyes darkened.
The Holy Maiden glanced at Xie Jinnian and reprimanded her sister, “Don’t spout nonsense.”
Although Xie Jinnian was a eunuch, he was deeply trusted by the King of the Southern Wilderness. Other than the few main figures in the palace, he was the last person one should offend.
However, Cheng Qingxue was spoiled and did not understand her sister’s good intentions for a moment. “I’m not talking nonsense! Sister, this bird belongs to that countryside girl! I remember! I definitely won’t be wrong! It was this bird that lured Aunt out! Otherwise, I would have chased that girl out of the Cheng family long ago!”
Xie Jinnian smiled. “I did buy it from Miss Cheng.”
Cheng Qingxue said, “Eunuch Jin, don’t be deceived. This is an evil bird that will attack people! If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you!”
She took out her slingshot.
Wuhu flew up in shock. She continued to aim at the Wuhu.
“Stop!”
The Holy Maiden pressed her wrist.
The stone in the slingshot missed.
However, Wuhu still fell.
Xie Jinnian hurriedly caught it.
Wuhu lay in his palm on its last breath and used all its acting skills.
Xie Jinnian’s expression instantly darkened.
“Why did you hit Xie Jinnian’s parrot?” The little master was also angry.
Just because she didn’t like to play with it anymore didn’t mean that others could bully it.
The Holy Maiden glared at Cheng Qingxue in anticipation better from her.
Cheng Qingxue explained, “I missed just now… No… It’s really not an ordinary parrot… Even a falcon can’t catch it…”
“Let me see.”
The Holy Maiden said to Xie Jinnian.
She came to Xie Jinnian and reached out, using a trace of gentle internal energy to nourish the Wuhu’s internal organs.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Wuhu kicked its legs and its body stiffened. It stood upright and could not move.
The Saintess was speechless..
