Su Cheng covered his bleeding nose and walked out of Zhaoyang Hall.

All the people in Zhaoyang Palace saw it.

Xiao Shunyang went to Yongshou Palace because he was worried about the situation here, and came here immediately after learning that the Queen Mother was not there.

Su Cheng and his group had left with the suspicious people, only the palace ladies and eunuchs in Zhaoyang Palace were left whispering.

"Did you see it just now, that Lord Su?"

"What Master Su, he is the Lord Protector, so if you really call him Sir, you have to change it to Master Qin?"

"Didn't you hear that you haven't worshiped your ancestors yet?"

"It's Qin Che whether he sacrifices to his ancestors or not. It's his two children who have to change their surnames and enter the Qin family's genealogy."

"It's the same... Hey, it's getting far! I want to ask you, have you seen him... like that?"

"Can you not see it? A reckless man dared to break into the house of the Empress Dowager, look how miserable he was beaten! Three bowls of blood were spilled!"

Xiao Shunyang said, "What are you talking about?"

The palace people turned their heads in shock, and saw that it was the Second Prince, they all knelt down and saluted: "Second Highness!"

One of the palace people said: "The slaves... are talking about the Duke Protector..."

Xiao Shunyang asked: "What's wrong with Duke Protector?"

Gong Ren said: "He...he bumped into the Empress Dowager, and was beaten to the point of bleeding..."

Some things changed when they were passed on. Su Cheng was never injured, nor was he beaten severely by Bai Xihe, but the palace people made up stories when they saw the blood, as if they were there at the time.

Xiao Shunyang paused, turned around and went to Zhaoyang Hall.

However, he didn't go in at all, and was stopped by Xiao Yunzi.

Xiao Yunzi said: "Second Highness, the Empress Dowager has rested."

Xiao Shunyang said: "I heard that Duke Protector offended the Empress Dowager."

More than offending?

It's really rebellious, and I can see the beauty of the Empress Dowager at a glance...

But the empress dowager didn't deal with Duke Hu, and Xiao Yunzi didn't understand either.

Xiao Yunzi smiled, and said: "The Lord Protector is investigating the case by order, and he did not offend him."

Xiao Shunyang frowned: "I heard that Lord Protector was injured."

Xiao Yunzi smiled and said: "Ah, I accidentally fell. The investigation is not over yet, right? The Second Highness is going down to work, and the little one is going to serve the Empress Dowager first."

Xiao Shunyang was not Su Cheng, so he couldn't rush in without hesitation, he could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yunzi closed the gate of Zhaoyang Hall.

He always felt that Su Cheng should have offended her, but because of Qin Canglan's power, it was inconvenient for her to make the matter worse, and she would stop pursuing it after a beating.

He stood at the door for a long time, until his subordinates came to urge him to continue the investigation, and then he left silently.

But after Dahu got up early, he immediately found that Erhu had left them and entered the palace.

I thought it was Xiaohu who was the most troublesome, but who would have thought that Erhu would be the first to defect on his own initiative.

Very good, Erhu also needs to clean up.

Dahu and Xiaohu go to Lingyun for class, and Wei Xiyue is also there.

Wei Xiyue's new Xiaobai is Xiaohu, and Dahu and Erhu are Xiaobai's family members. She will take care of them, but she will not go crazy because they are not around.

Wei Xiyue sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the salted fish and tiger in her arms, her mood was quite calm.

Su Xiaoxiao happened to be visiting a doctor nearby, so she came to pick up a few children.

She first sent Dahu and Xiaohu to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and then sent Wei Xiyue back to Wei's house.

Su Xiaoxiao hasn't come for a while.

Wei's house seemed much cooler than last time, and there were no sisters-in-law gesticulating in the garden.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lan sat listlessly on the stone bench, Mrs. Chen sat beside them, like a patron saint.

"Ugh."

Blue sighed.

"Ugh."

Jiang Shi also sighed.

"Three sisters-in-law."

Su Xiaoxiao led Wei Xiyue and walked over.

Jiang was startled: "Seventh sibling? Xiyue."

"Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Fifth Aunt." Wei Xiyue greeted the three of them holding the jar.

Wei Xiyue's progress is obvious. She didn't like to communicate with people before, and she rarely greeted people proactively.

Now... I still don't communicate much, but I like calling people.

After seeing a few aunts, Wei Xiyue went to find her mother.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the decadent three people in puzzlement.

Jiang sighed: "We are worried about sister-in-law."

Lan also said: "Ever since my sister-in-law's identity was exposed, she locked herself in her room and didn't see anyone. We all understand that my sister-in-law must have some difficulties, but we can't even see her face, let alone ask questions. She's dead. We asked Mother, but Mother refused to tell."

Mrs. Jiang asked helplessly, "What are Mother and Sister-in-law hiding from us?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I'll go and see my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Chu is practicing calligraphy in her room.

"Ma'am, Miss Su is here."

The servant girl reported.

"Let her go back," Chu said.

crunch——

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and came in.

The servant girl was trembling and didn't know what to do.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I came in by myself, she can't stop me."

Chu didn't say anything, and let the servant girl back down.

Su Xiaoxiao came to sit down in front of Mrs. Chu.

After not seeing her for a few days, she looked much tired.

"Wei Ting went to assassinate the leader of the White Lotus Sect."

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, she gave Chu a heavy blow.

Chu's hand holding the pen paused.

"It's very dangerous, isn't it?" Su Xiaodao, "But only by doing this can he save his sister-in-law, Mrs. Wei and the Wei family."

Chu's knuckles were clenched tightly, faintly white.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Shi for a moment: "So the sister-in-law still refuses to tell? Maybe it's just a small clue that can help Wei Ting avoid danger."

Ask Chu Shi why she joined the White Lotus Sect, Chu Shi will definitely not confess.

But if Wei Ting's life is used as a bargaining chip, Chu's heart may not be so cruel.

Chu slowly stretched out her hand, rolled up her cuff, and took off the bracelet, revealing a red mark on her wrist.

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely: "This is..."

Chu said softly: "The poison Bailian taught me, I need to take the antidote once a month, otherwise I will die from the poison."

Su Xiaoxiao muttered secretly: "Is there really such a bloody method?"

Chu said: "My father was also poisoned by this kind of poison."

Su Xiaoxiao: "My father——"

Mrs. Chu shook her head slightly: "He is not from the White Lotus Sect, he was used by the White Lotus Sect to blackmail me. He thought he was sick, so I didn't tell him the truth. There is a powerful pharmacist in the White Lotus Sect, who is said to be from the Western Jin Dynasty. Poison and mechanism, Taolin, have you been there? It was designed by that person."

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin: "So, the corpse water and poison are also from his hands."

"Poison?" Mrs. Chu has never been to Taolin, only heard of some dangers, but the specifics are not very clear.

Su Xiaoxiao told about Heixiazi and Xiong Baobao.

Chu shuddered: "It should be him who did it, he is very dangerous, he is the most dangerous person around the leader!"

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Isn't Xiu Nu the most dangerous? Are they alone?"

Chu shook his head solemnly: "No, it's not alone. The one with the highest martial arts is Xiu Nu, and the one with the most vicious methods is him."
