Qin Canglan said that he would withdraw the troops, and three thousand cavalry escorted Su Xiaoxiao back to Lihua Lane. If it wasn't for the fear of disturbing the people in the middle of the night, he would have to put on a battle for the return of the emperor.

It will be much easier to send Princess Hui'an afterwards.

"Let's all go back."

It is enough for him to escort alone, plus a coachman from the Duke Protector's Mansion.

"Master, is this really all right?" the driver asked.

Qin Canglan glared at him: "What do you know? It's very expensive to send out troops!"

You are the soldiers who came out to blow up the street for nothing!

No military pay!

Princess Hui'an returned to the palace safely.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and Concubine Xian stayed up all night, holding her lost and recovered daughter, crying uncontrollably.

"Hui'an... mother's Hui'an..."

In the palace, concubines are not allowed to call themselves mothers, nor allow princes and princesses to call themselves mothers. They have only one mother, and that is the queen.

But at this time, it seems that no one cares about this.

No matter how Concubine Xian sets up a person in the harem, her heart for the two children is true.

"How did you become like this? Have you been bullied?" Concubine Xian held her daughter's distraught face with messy bun, countless ominous guesses flashed in her mind.

Hui'an said wearily: "Concubine Mu, I'm tired, can we talk about it tomorrow?"

She loves to sue people so much, she can't say a word right now, it can be seen that she is really exhausted.

Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "Okay! Concubine Mu will take you back to rest. Your Majesty..."

Emperor Jingxuan nodded.

He also had a lot to ask Hui'an, but Hui'an was so tired that he couldn't bear it.

Eunuch Fu asked someone to prepare a soft sedan chair, and sent Concubine Xian and Princess Hui'an back to Qixiang Palace.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at Qin Canglan, who was wearing the armor of a general, and sighed, "Thank you, Qin Aiqing, for saving my Hui'an."

Qin Canglan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not attributable to the minister."

Emperor Jingxuan: "Oh?"

Qin Canglan said seriously: "It was the granddaughter of the minister who sneaked into the tiger's den alone and rescued the princess, and the minister just went to support her."

Emperor Jingxuan looked at him suspiciously: "Your granddaughter?"

Qin Canglan said: "Exactly. For the specific situation, when Princess Hui'an wakes up tomorrow, His Majesty can ask her."

Emperor Jingxuan naturally wanted to ask, but if Qin Canglan could get to this point, it was probably true.

"I thought... she was a doctor."

Qin Canglan smiled: "This girl has been bold since she was a child, and she also learned some boxing skills from her father in the countryside."

He spoke modest words on his lips, but the pride in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

As long as Qin Canglan thought of how unruffled his precious granddaughter was when he shot that traitor with a spear, his chest would be filled with boundless pride.

In the world, even men are not as courageous as her.

As expected of Qin Canglan's granddaughter!

Emperor Jingxuan did not continue this topic, but instead asked: "Can you find out who did what happened today?"

Qin Canglan said in a normal tone, "Ah, the Third Highness went down to investigate."

Houshan courtyard.

The guards of the Third Prince's Mansion were tying up the White Lotus Sect rebels scattered all over the ground.

Xiao Chonghua walked towards Wei Ting under the peach tree.

Wei Ting was enjoying the wine, when he saw him coming, he gently held the corner of his lips: "The White Lotus Sect doesn't say anything else, the wine is very good, remember to get the recipe for the wine when you interrogate."

Xiao Chonghua was the gentle third prince in front of others, but there was no need to pretend in front of Wei Ting.

After all, they have killed and killed several times.

"Are you sure you want to hand these people over to me?" Xiao Chonghua asked.

Wei Ting said: "Otherwise? Do you want to come and drink with me?"

Xiao Chonghua gave Wei Ting a meaningful look, didn't speak again, and turned to investigate the scene.

Yu Chixiu stood under the peach tree, holding a sword in his arms, curled his lips and said, "Are you addicted to being a shopkeeper? Why did you call Xiao Chonghua over?"

Wei Ting said lightly: "Isn't it good for someone to investigate the case? Do you have to squeeze your head?"

Yu Chixiu snorted: "I think you are just lazy! Xiaohu is learning from you!"

Lazy baby, show off every day!

But how old is Xiaohu? How old are you?

I don't know how to teach something!

On the carriage going back, Chang Ping asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, could Wei Ting have some kind of conspiracy? Don't give it to the Third Highness without giving such a big credit? Is he so kind?"

"It's not a good intention." Xiao Chonghua said, "Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng. The Wei and Qin families have been too popular recently. Su Cheng's inheritance of military power has already offended the emperor. Now the Qin and Wei families have married again. ...Father is even more afraid, at this juncture, it is right to retreat bravely."

Mentioning this, Chang Ping felt quite injustice for His Royal Highness.

Originally, the eldest lady of the Qin family was His Highness's fiancée, but His Majesty married Wei Ting, what's the matter?

Xiao Chonghua thought of Emperor Jingxuan's blushing and thick neck from being choked that day in the Golden Luan Hall, and slightly closed his eyes: "This matter has passed, there is no need to mention it again."

"Yes." Chang Ping replied sullenly.

Thinking of something, Chang Ping said again, "Your Highness, I heard that His Highness also went to find Princess Hui'an tonight, why didn't Wei Ting give him the credit?"

Xiao Chonghua said: "Brother touched Su Cheng."

He confronted Wei Ting tit for tat and did not harm others.

Wei Ting never cared about himself.

Chang Ping scratched his head: "But in this way, His Highness will hate His Highness even more."

Xiao Chonghua said lightly: "It was one of Wei Ting's goals to let me bear part of the elder brother's hostility."

Chang Ping frowned: "Then His Highness—"

Xiao Chonghua held the warm teacup in his hand, and said indifferently: "Brother and I are fighting for that seat, it doesn't matter if there is Wei Ting's help or not. Everyone gets what they need, and each has his destiny."

...

When Wei Ting arrived home, the family had already rested, and only Su Xiaoxiao was still busy arranging the medicinal materials.

Wei Ting went to help her and told her about taking away the White Lotus Sect's den.

"More than twenty believers, including three shadow guards and one guardian."

This is the first time that the imperial court has caught a rebellious party at the level of law enforcement, and the credit is not insignificant.

Xiao Chonghua received this skill, Xiao Duye was afraid that he would explode in anger.

Su Xiaoxiao thinks this is very good.

It not only hit Xiao Duye, but also prevented Jing Yi from being caught between them.

"Is the court going to formally surrender the White Lotus Sect this time?" she asked.

Wei Ting hummed, and said: "In the past, the imperial court never paid much attention to Jianghu organizations and sects. However, the repeated provocative actions of the White Lotus Sect have angered Emperor Jingxuan. Next, the imperial court will formally attack the White Lotus Sect."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "There seem to be many believers of the White Lotus Sect among the people."

Wei Ting nodded: "That's right, it didn't happen overnight. It's really tricky to distinguish which are ordinary believers and which are chaotic parties with ulterior motives."

Therefore, let Xiao Chonghua take credit for such a tricky task!

Su Xiaoxiao said again: "You said...was this action done by the White Lotus Sect, or the inner ghost of the Wei family?"

"You suspect that the inner ghost is a member of the White Lotus Sect?" Wei Ting pondered, "This possibility is not ruled out."

Wei's house.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Two sneaky figures quietly approached the second entrance door, and were about to step out when they were bumped into by the oncoming person.

"Third siblings? Fifth siblings? It's the middle of the night, you two are dressed like this, where are you going?"

Chu asked strangely.

Jiang shyly pulled down the black cloth covering her face: "Sister-in-law, our faces are covered like this, why do you still recognize it?"

Mrs. Chu glared at the two of them: "Just the two of you, I know who turned into ashes!"

Chen Shi scratched his head foolishly.

"We want to find the seventh sibling." Chen said honestly.

Chu sighed: "The man has already returned, so there is no need to look for it."

Chen: "Oh."

Jiang asked: "But sister-in-law, you came back from outside so late, is it because you have something to do?"

Chu said: "Mother suddenly felt uncomfortable at night. I went to the pharmacy to get some medicine. You guys came just in time. Come with me to see mother."

Jiang Shi was stunned: "Ah..."

Looking at the elder sister-in-law who walked by, Jiang's face wrinkled into a ball: "Sister-in-law third, can I say my stomach hurts?"

Chen looked at her worriedly: "Do you have a stomachache?"

"No...I'm..." Mrs. Jiang stomped her feet bitterly, "I don't want to go to my mother..."

"Why?" Chen didn't understand.

Jiang whispered: "Don't you think... mother is a bit scary? Every time I go to her place, I feel creepy. She actually doesn't like us to disturb her. Didn't you see that she always looks displeased?" Looking happy?"

"Is there?" Chen's face was confused.

Jiang looked at the nervous third sister-in-law, and resignedly tore off the black cloth from her head: "Oh, forget it, you don't understand, go see your mother."

The three of them went to Mrs. Wei's yard.

The peaches in the courtyard are in excellent condition, exuding an attractive peach fragrance.

Madam Wei sat on the bed and coughed softly.

Mrs. Chu came to the bed, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her: "I have boiled the medicine in the kitchen, mother, drink the water first."

Mrs. Wei took a sip and said lightly: "It's not a serious illness, and there's no need to take medicine. Go back."

Jiang asked in confusion: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

They came to visit during the day, and obviously the mother was fine at that time.

Mrs. Wei said weakly: "I have a headache and cough, maybe it's because the peach branches were pruned in the afternoon and the wind frightened me."

Chu looked around and asked, "Ping'er hasn't come back yet? Why don't I let Chunhong come over to take care of you for a few days?"

Madam Wei lowered her eyes and said, "No need, I'm not used to being taken care of by others."
