Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was already midnight when Zongzheng Wei returned to the palace.
The Empress Dowager was waiting for him in Chengde Hall.
Zongzheng Wei smiled. Its so late, why isnt Mother resting yet?
The Empress Dowager said, I heard that you left the palace again. Is there someone outside the palace who made you linger
Zongzheng Wei smiled but said nothing.
The Empress Dowager looked at the picture book beside her. Time is tight.
This is the list of concubines. Your Majesty, come and choose first.
Zongzheng Hui said, Mother, forget about the consort selection.
The Empress Dowager frowned. Why? Could it be that the rumors are true? Someone saw you accompanying the head of the Cheng family to the lake and lantern party. Could it be that you
She would not agree to her son marrying Cheng Sang as his consort!
Zongzheng Wei sighed and said without changing his expression, Mother, youve misunderstood. I just admire Patriarch Cheng very much. Actually, I like men. All these years in the abandoned mine, in order to relieve my loneliness,
Zongzheng Ming has given me many actors. The Empress Dowagers expression changed! Ill take my leave.
Zongzheng Wei bowed and turned to leave.
The Empress Dowager looked at his determined back and stammered anxiously, I think Patriarch Cheng is not bad! Dont you admire her? Do you want to consider it?
In a place where the Empress Dowager could not see, Zongzheng Wei pursed his lips and chuckled, his shoulders trembling.
On the other side, Cheng Sang also returned to the courtyard.
Mei Ji walked over with a roasted pigeon skewered with a wooden stick. Sangsang, are you done talking to His Majesty? She had been calling her Sangsang recently.
Little bird demon, why are you
Before she could finish, Cheng Sang realized that her way of addressing her was inappropriate.
It was all because she had gotten used to calling her that recently. Even after recovering her memory, she would still occasionally talk nonsense.
Mei Ji didnt mind her calling her a little bird demon anymore. She fed Cheng Sang the uneaten side. Its small. Sangsang, do you want to eat
Cheng Sang said, Im full. You eat. Wheres Xiaoxiao?
Mei Ji said, Taking a bath.
The old mans wooden house did not have a big bucket. He could only wipe himself when bathing. Otherwise, he had to go to the river, but he was worried that he would be hit by the tribes residents, so he could only endure it.
After returning to the residence to settle the matters at hand, the first thing Su Xiaoxiao did was take a comfortable bath.
Creak
The door opened.
It was Mei Ji.
Cheng Sang would not come in while she was bathing.
The water was filled with petals, and the dense heat made her cheeks blush.
Mei Ji lay on the bucket and ate barbecue while scooping water to water Su Xiaoxiaos back. Xiaoxiao, what do you think?
With my brain.
Mei Ji rolled her eyes. You know thats not what Im asking. Of course Su Xiaoxiao knew. She was just teasing her.
Cheng Sang and Zongzheng Wei were reunited after half a lifetime.
More than 30 years pa.s.sed.
One was imprisoned in a dark mine, and the other was imprisoned in a crazy body.
Only they could empathize with that endless loneliness.
They were the people in the world who could understand each other the best, but no one could say for sure when it came to relations.h.i.+ps.
Mei Ji continued, Are we going back soon?
She was almost done here and Wei Xu had been saved. Next, it was time to return to the capital to reunite.
Mei Ji said, But if we leave, what about Sangsang?
Su Xiaoxiao was silent.
She couldnt bear to part with her grandmother either.
After Mei Ji finished eating the pigeon, she changed her clothes back on a whim.
In the end, she realized that she could not wear it.
She had gained weight!!!
Now that the crisis in the Southern Wilderness was resolved, Su Xiaoxiao no longer needed to disguise herself.
She went to look for Cheng Sang with a refreshed expression.
The servants in the courtyard were all stunned when they saw her face.
If not for the fact that her voice and figure had not changed, they would have thought that there was another guest at home.
Everyone recalled that Cheng Qingxue had once ridiculed the young master for having an ordinary appearance.
How was this ordinary-looking? She was clearly a fairy who had descended to the mortal world!
Grandmother.
Su Xiaoxiao came to Cheng Sangs room.
Cheng Sang pulled her hand and sat down, looking at her face carefully, as if she wanted to find some traces of Weiwei on her face.
Do you look like your mother? Cheng Sang asked.
Yes, Su Xiaoxiao said. Ergou too.
After Cheng Sang woke up, Su Xiaoxiao told Cheng Sang everything about her family, including her ident.i.ty in the Great Zhou.
When Cheng Sang found out what had happened to his daughter when she was young, her eyes were swollen from crying.
After knowing that her daughter had met Su Cheng, a man who really loved her, and had given birth to two filial children, she found a trace of comfort.
Unfortunately, she was still a step too late to see her daughter.
Cheng Sangs eyes were filled with tears.
Cheng Sang said, Xiaoxiao, Grandmother wants to discuss something with you.
Su Xiaoxiao said, Grandmother, please tell me.
Cheng Sang looked at her and said dotingly, Grandmother wants to go to Qingzhou to see your mother, and also to the capital to see your father and Ergou.
She did not know how many years she had left, but as long as she was still alive, she would crawl to her daughters grave.
She wanted to tell her daughter that her mother was here to pick her up.
Su Xiaoxiao leaned into Cheng Sangs arms like a child. Grandmother, to be honest, I was just thinking about how to kidnap you back.
Cheng Sang was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao accompanied Cheng Sang in the Cheng family for two days. After Cheng Sangs emotions stabilized, she went to Changliu Lane.
Wei Xu took the medicine refined by Su Xiaoxiao. His internal injuries were healing bit by bit, but the burning Qi absorbed from Wei Qing was a little troublesome.
In order to force the burning aura out, Wei Xu was in seclusion.
Su Xiaoxiao played with Wei Xiyue for a while before going to Elder Lous residence.
Su MO was not around. He lived in the palace with the envoy.
Princess Hui An had been found and had lived in the palace for the past two days.
However, Zongzheng Wei had already clearly issued a decree to cancel the marriage between Princess Hui An and the Southern Wilderness.
The reason was simple and crude. Zong Zhengmings son had been demoted as a commoner and they could not let the princess of the Great Zhou humble herself in marriage to him.
Su Li had gone out for a walk.
Su Xuan was alone in the courtyard.
He looked very good.
Dressed in a spotless white robe, he sat quietly on a stone stool under the tree and read.
No matter how many times she saw this Head of Secret Service, Su Xiaoxiao was still amazed.
This was indeed as expected of a peerless young master.
Fourth Cousin. Su Xiaoxiao walked over and sat down on the stone stool opposite him.
Su Xuan looked at her. Cousin is here.
Su Xiaoxiao said, I heard you were injured.
Su Xuan smiled quietly. Ive already recovered.
After coming to the Southern Wilderness and seeing through the ident.i.ty of the Head of the Secret Service, the Head of the Secret Service did not smile anymore.
This smile felt like a lifetime ago.
Su Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hands and looked at him.
Is something wrong?
Yeah.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Su Xuan smiled. Speak.
Su Xiaoxiao said, The day I left the capital, you asked Su Li to give me three brocade bags. One of the brocade bags contains three keys. One is the key to the secret room in Qionghua Hall, and the other is the key to the secret room in the abandoned mine. The mission in the southern border has ended. I havent used this third key. What is it for?
Su Xuan closed the book. If possible, I hope you never have the chance to use
it..
