That night.

Su Xuan returned to Elder Lou's residence.

Elder Lou lived in the Holy Maiden Hall most of the time, and he had no family to resettle, so he only built a small courtyard with two entrances.

Elder Lou was too lazy to deal with the two young men, so he went back to his room early to rest.

Princess Hui'an didn't sleep, she was sitting in the yard waiting for someone.

Looking left and right, I finally brought people back.

But it was impossible for her to stand up and greet her, after all, she was a princess, and she was well behaved.

"Why have you been here for so long?"

Princess Hui'an muttered dissatisfied.

Su Xuan handed her a bag of dim sum wrapped in Ruo leaves: "That family's rice cakes are sold out, so I asked several shops to get them."

Princess Hui'an brought over the steaming rice cake, opened the Ruo leaf, took a piece and handed it to him: "Here."

Su Xuan smiled: "The princess eats by herself, I'm not hungry."

Princess Hui'an proudly raised her small chin, and said seriously: "If you don't test the poison for me, how will I eat it?"

"That's it." Su Xuan took the rice cakes kindly and took a bite slowly, "It's not too sweet, the rice cakes are very fragrant and not poisonous."

Princess Hui'an tasted a piece.

She doesn't like to eat too sweet, and this time the rice cakes are just right.

Thinking of something, she suddenly said: "Su Xuan, I eat so much, am I getting fat?"

Su Xuan smiled slightly: "No."

Princess Hui'an felt relieved: "That's good."

She devoured the rice cake in her hand.

Then sat in the yard without moving.

Su Xuan asked: "Isn't the princess going to bed?"

Princess Hui'an whispered, "I... am still a little afraid of snakes."

Su Xuan looked around and said, "Snake repellent powder is sprinkled here, so there won't be any snakes."

Having said that, Princess Hui'an was still very scared.

That kind of fear can only be understood by those who have experienced it first-hand.

Princess Hui'an straightened her waist, and ordered: "You...be the guard in front of the princess' palace, and you will watch the night tonight!"

After she finished speaking, she was not sure that Su Xuan would agree. After all, Su Xuan was just a frail scholar, maybe he was also afraid of snakes.

A certain princess completely forgot who threw the snake out last time.

Su Xuan said: "Okay."

Princess Hui'an went to wash up and lay down on the soft bed.

She is very precious, although she was on a hurry, she didn't suffer too much in terms of basic necessities of life.

As a princess who grew up in rich clothes and fine food, she didn't think it was strange. It was only when she saw the poor people that she realized that she had never seen the suffering in the world.

"Su Xuan." Princess Hui'an called him softly.

"Huh?" Su Xuan responded.

Princess Hui'an said in a low voice: "Do you think the life of the common people is so hard?"

Su Xuan turned a page of the book: "Most of them are running around for their livelihood, and some are living well. If they meet a wise king and create a peaceful and prosperous world, the people's lives will be prosperous. If the king is not kind, the people will live in poverty."

Princess Hui'an thought for a while: "My royal father...is he a wise king?"

Su Xuan threw the topic to her: "What does the princess think?"

She used to think that her father was a wise king, but seeing how hard the people were living, she was not sure anymore.

"The problem of the national treasury deficit has existed since the reign of the first emperor. His Majesty governed the country diligently and made major changes to the tax law to fill some vacancies, but the treasury is still not full."

Su Xuan skillfully spared the topic of whether Emperor Jingxuan is a Mingjun.

Princess Hui'an let out an oh.

She gets sleepy when talking about state affairs.

If Jing Ning was here, it wouldn't be tiring to chat about state affairs all night.

But she can't.

She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Su Xuan was sitting on the footrest in front of the bed, with his back leaning against the edge of the bed behind him. It was not a very elegant posture, but he did it with a pleasing elegance.

Princess Hui'an fell asleep, with two fingers still grabbing his clothes, as if she was afraid that he would leave her and run away in the middle of the night, leaving her alone to face the worms and snakes.

Southern Xinjiang is humid and hot, and Princess Hui'an's sleeping appearance is not good.

After a while, she kicked off the quilt, revealing her exquisite curves lying on her side.

Su Xuan flipped through the book in his hand without looking back.

He just waved his sleeves casually, and covered her back with the quilt.

...

In the other courtyard in Changliu Lane, Yu Chixiu returned to Cheng's house, and the rest of the people also went back to their houses to rest.

Wei Ting didn't move.

Gui Ji asked: "What are you thinking?"

Wei Ting looked at the complete jade mask on the table: "I'm thinking, the person tonight knows our situation well, maybe it's someone we know."

Of the seven brothers in the family, Wei Ting is the smartest.

There must be a reason for him to come to this conclusion.

What's more, Gui Ji also faintly felt that the opponent seemed to have reservations when he made a move.

Wei Ting said: "He only wants to kill his father, not us."

This is very strange.

Generally speaking, if we kill Wei Xu, they will definitely avenge their father, so it is best to kill them as well.

The other party did not do so.

There is another thing that is very strange.

The second brother didn't come out tonight.

...

The night was as cold as water, everyone in the Cheng family went to rest, except for Cheng Lian's east courtyard.

The east courtyard was brightly lit, and none of the servants rested.

There is no other reason, the saint is back.

Ever since Cheng Qingyao became a saint, she couldn't go back to the Cheng family once or twice a year. Every time, the Cheng family would mobilize people to welcome the saint with great fanfare.

Today is different.

Almost all the servants in the house were called away by Cheng Sang, except for Cheng Lian's own people in the East Courtyard.

Xie Yunhe sat on the teacher's chair without saying a word.

The saint sits next to him and is also the main seat.

Cheng Lian and Cheng Qingxue sat at the bottom, and Cheng Qingxue cried into tears.

"It's all her fault! It's all her fault! It's all her fault! Ever since she came to Cheng's house, I haven't had a good day!"

When she heard that the Cheng family had a little girl who knew her relatives, the saint didn't take it seriously.

She has seen a lot of little tricks like this, she is a saint, and she can crush people to death with her fingers.

But things seem to be getting out of control right now.

That little girl not only got Cheng Sang's approval, but also got the patriarch's decree that "has been missing for many years".

They all thought that Cheng Sang's madness was because he really couldn't remember where the Patriarch's order was placed.

But it turned out that she had been hiding it.

That girl also collaborated with the Yin family to take away the title of Saintess that should have belonged to Cheng Qingxue.

In three months, she will abdicate.

According to the original plan, she would come back to inherit the Cheng family, and Cheng Qingxue would continue to control the Holy Maiden Hall.

Now, whether it is the Cheng family or the Saintess Hall, they are almost becoming the girl's pocket.

"Qingyao, tell me something, what should I do now?"

Cheng Lian choked up and asked, "The Cheng family is like this now, and the Yin family has also taken away the position of the saint. Can you think of a way to prevent Yin Xiaodie from taking the throne?"

It is impossible to kill Yin Xiaodie.

There used to be a tragedy in the Saintess Hall where the saintess refused to abdicate and killed the new saintess.

Later, in order to protect the new saint, the hall of the saint issued a new regulation.

Once something happens to the new saintess, no matter who is responsible, the previous saintess will be expelled from the hall of saints.

The saint said coldly: "Now there is only one way. After I abdicate, I will continue to stay in the Holy Maiden Hall as an elder. The Cheng family will be inherited by Qingxue!"

If you abuse the saint, is there a monthly pass?
