Su Li asked, “Hase Uncle gone on duty?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Yes.”
Su Li patted her chest. “It was just so close! You didn’t see how Xiao Shunyang wished he could kill me, as if I had done something to taint the royal family… The Grand Empress Dowager is my Auntie! We have a pure aunt-nephew relationship!”
There was no doubt that Guo Huan had no improper thoughts about the Grand Empress Dowager.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him. “It seems you’ve really gotten into the role?”
Su Li cleared her throat. “Ahem, I’m getting into character. Speaking of which, does Uncle know that Madam Bai is the Empress Dowager?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “My father doesn’t know.”
Su Li was stunned. “You’re not going to tell Uncle?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Those who don’t know are innocent.”
Su Li thought for a moment. “That’s true. Ah, it’s already past midnight. Why hasn’t that person appeared yet?”
The note said mentioned meeting at the sycamore tree in the back mountain at midnight. This was just by the stream where Su Cheng caught the fish, which was less than 100 meters away from the place where Su Cheng grilled the fish.
It was precisely because they were lying in ambush that they noticed Su Cheng, the Grand Empress Dowager, Xiao Shunyang, and Little Yunzi.
His uncle was really bold. He even dared to carry the Grand Empress Dowager…
“He shouldn’t be turning up anymore,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
After causing a commotion here, they had already alerted the enemy. Su
“Ah, what a pity. Such a good opportunity… I waited for half a day for nothing…
Su Li lay on the branch and shook his long legs helplessly. “Speaking of which, why didn’t you show yourself just now and insisted that I go? Although I don’t mind, I’m an outsider after all. Isn’t it better for the Grand Empress Dowager to be with you? She’s a patient, and you’re a doctor. It’s only right.”
Su Xiaoxiao said nothing.
Su Li thought of something and sat up straight. “Are you suspecting the Grand
Empress Dowager? Do you think she’s the one who asked me out tonight?”
Guo Huan was here for the appointment. Of course, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t appear, or she would be exposed.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Everyone who happened to appear at the agreed location tonight is suspicious.”
The corners of Su Li’s mouth twitched. “Everyone? No way, that would even include your own father? Ah, speaking of which, it was really Uncle who brought the Grand Empress Dowager out! ”
“I’m just stating the facts.”
She analyzed it from the perspective of an outsider. Assuming that she did not recognize Su Cheng, these four people were naturally suspicious.
Then, she would eliminate them one by one.
Su Li touched her chin. “Uncle definitely isn’t, and neither is the Grand
Empress Dowager… Could it be Little Yunzi and the Second Prince?”
“Maybe it’s one of them, or maybe none of them.” Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him.
“Why are you touching your chin?”
Su Li said resentfully, “I’ve grown a stubble overnight. It’s uncomfortable to wear a mask.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “Can you actually grow a beard?”
Su Li exploded. “I’m not a eunuch! Of course, I can grow a beard!”
Su Xiaoxiao sized him up. Her gaze seemed to be saying— Really? Have you got all your hair in place?
As Su Xiaoxiao had expected, that person didn’t contact “Guo Huan” for the next two days.
The White Lotus Society’s plan did not end. Before the blessing ceremony officially began on the first day, Su Cheng caught a monk who had poisoned the ancient well.
After the blessing ceremony ended, Jing Yi discovered another wave of archers lying in ambush halfway up the mountain.
The White Lotus Society’s moves were endless. When they were hearing the abbot preach the scripture the next day, they actually set fire to the mountain. Fortunately, Qin Canglan noticed it in time.
Two days passed safely. In the evening, everyone set off for the capital.
Two days did not seem to be long, but they woke up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs. There were all kinds of complicated processes. Not to mention those old ministers, even Emperor Jing Xuan, who was in his prime, was so tired that he did not want to speak.
Emperor Jing Xuan and the others got into the carriage back to the palace.
Qin Canglan and Su Cheng led the Qin family’s iron cavalry to open the way.
Qin Canglan spurred his horse and walked beside Su Cheng. “Cheng’er, be careful. Pull yourself together. There might be an ambush later.”
The White Lotus Society did not seem to be stopping, but it was actually just a small trick. With Qin Canglan’s many years of experience, if the White Lotus Society really planned to assassinate Emperor Jing Xuan, there would definitely be a fierce battle next.
Everything was indeed as Qin Canglan had expected. When they passed through a canyon, hundreds of masked assassins rushed out of the mountain stream and attacked them fiercely..
