Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Madam Wei couldn’t coax them. She used her ace in the hole, trump card, fell to the ground, punched her thigh, and cried. “Wuwuwu—you don’t like

Great Grandma anymore—”

This series of actions made the three children unable to do anything.

Dahu asked, “Is Great-Grandma crying again?”

Nanny Li smiled awkwardly at Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao. Between preserving Old Madam Wei’s dignity and bringing the children back, she chose the latter. “She cried. She cried very hard.”

Dahu sighed and walked to the bed to pick up his small pillow. “Okay.”

He said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Mother, Great-Grandma needs us. We Il go over and accompany her. ”

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to say, “Mom needs you too…”

The three little ones were picked up by Nannv Li, and the huze house fell silent.

The dragon and phoenix incense candles were spent, but the big red words in the room were still dazzling.

Wei Ting’s lips curled up slightly as he looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a faint smile. “Sleeping?

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him.

She thought that she had picked up a rabbit, but it turned out to be a wolf in disguise.

If she said that she wasn’t sleepy yet, he would definitely say that since she still had the energy, she might as well do something else.

Then, he would pounce on her.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Okay, I’m sleepy!”

Wei Ting chuckled. “It’s not even midnight. Since you’re so anxious, I’ll accompany you.”

Wait, this was different from what she had imagined.

Why didn’t this guy play by the rules?

Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao was really exhausted. When Wei Ting came over after taking a bath, she was already lying on the pillow, unconscious.

Wei Ting chuckled. “With this little ability, how did you dare to keep lighting fires back then?”

He turned off the lights and lay down beside her. He closed his eyes and recalled the taste of last night’s ecstasy. He domineeringly pulled her into his arms.

“Hot.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed him away in a daze.

Wei Ting was outraged. “Are you even despise me?”

Wei Ting said domineeringly, “Either don’t move, or lie down and let me move. ”

Su Xiaoxiao was terrified.

Wei Ting had planned to do something to her before he entered the palace tomorrow. Seeing that she had become obedient, he hugged her and fell asleep.

Su Xiaoxiao, who had rested for two nights, finally recovered her energy. The next morning, she took a carriage to the palace with Wei Ting.

Ordinary women from the imperial court did not need to enter the palace. Su Xiaoxiao was different. The Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the two princesses had added a box each to her dowry. She naturally had to thank them for their kindness.

In order, they went to the Grand Empress Dowager’s Zhaoyang Hall first.

Little Yunzi was already waiting at the entrance of the palace. When he saw the two of them, he quickly went forward with a smile and greeted, “Lord Wei, Madam Wei! ”

“Eunuch Yun.” In the carriage, Wei Ting had already heard Su Xiaoxiao introduce Bai Xihe and the palace servants beside her.

Little Yunzi hurriedly said, “Lord Wei, you’re flattering me. Just call me Little

Yunzi!”

After Little Yunzi finished exchanging pleasantries, he brought the two of them to Zhaoyang Hall.

Wei Ting said in a low voice, “How do you plan to explain to the outside world that the Grand Empress Dowager gave you a box? You can’t say that the Grand Empress Dowager has a personal relationship with you and rests at your house every time she escapes from the palace.”

Su Xiaoxiao said casually, “Oh, there was once when the Empress Dowager was in the courtyard and was almost bitten by a poisonous snake. I saved the Grand Empress Dowager. Princess Jingning can testify.” This reason was enough to shut everyone up.

“Eh? Who’s that?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the men at the entrance of the throne room and asked. They were clearly officials, but they did not wear the official robes of the Great

Zhou.

Wei Ting took the opportunity to take a look and narrowed his eyes. “The envoys of the Western Jin are here.”

The two of them did not deliberately lower their voices.

When Little Yunzi heard this, he turned around and said with a smile, “Lord Wei, you have good eyesight. They are indeed envoys of the Western Jin. They just arrived last night.”

The Great Zhou envoys went to the Western Jin. The Western Jin returned the favor and sent a group of envoys over.

This was also the reason why Emperor Jing Xuan was in a hurry to destroy the White Lotus Society. He was worried that the Western Jin would see him as a joke and that there would be changes in the peace talks.

“After the peace talks are over, they will bring Princess Lingxi back to Jin Capital.”

Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. “I see. I always thought that it would be the Great Zhou Imperial Court that would send troops to escort the princess to reconcile.”

If that was the case, Guo Lingxi would definitely ask Wei Ting to escort her.

“Oh, it saves a lot of trouble.”

‘What?” Wei Ting did not understand.

“Nothing.” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and looked in the direction of the throne room again. “Are the others also envoys of the Western Jin? Are their official robes so different?”

She had seen the blue-robed official just now, but immediately, another wave of red-robed officials came.

Wei Ting took another look, and his eyes turned cold. “The envoys of Northern

Yan.”

Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. “Northern Yan sent envoys over too?” There was no news of this previously!

Little Yunzi explained, “Ah, they’re here to pay the New Year tribute.”

Four years ago, Northern Yan lost to the Great Zhou. As a defeated country, they had to pay an expensive yearly tribute to the Great Zhou every year.

However, Northern Yan was very cunning. They were indeed afraid of Wei Ting in the first year and handed it over obediently, they did not dare to delay it.

However, they started to delay it year after year, and last year’s annual tribute was delayed to June and July this year.

It seemed like they wanted to go back on their word. After all, they had cozied up to the Western Jin.

However, when they heard that the Great Zhou was also setting up a marriage alliance, Northern Yan could not sit still anymore. They immediately arranged for the envoys to pay the annual tribute.

The New Year tribute was a cover. In fact, Northern Yan was here to find out the truth.

If the princess in the marriage alliance was ordinary and was no match for the

Princess of Northern Yan, then so be it. However, if she was a threat to the Princess of Northern Yan, they might think of a way to destroy the marriage between the Great Zhou and the Western Jin.

After hearing Wei Ting’s analysis, Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said thoughtfully, “Is Northern Yan so shameless? I suddenly don’t wonder why they colluded with MO Guiyuan back then. They are so shameless that they would play dirty if they can’t win.”

Northern Yan had always been like this. Wei Ting was used to it.

When he went to collect his grandfather’s corpse, Northern Yan also wanted to play dirty tricks on him. If he had not been prepared, he would have been pierced by ten thousand arrows on the city tower.

“Who’s from Northern Yan?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Yunzi.

Little Yunzi was used to talking. He picked the main point and said, “The Fourth Prince of Northern Yan, Princess Kangning, the Divine Might General, and a few civil servants.”

Wei Ting’s eyes turned cold.

Su Xiaoxiao sensed his sudden killing intent and turned to look at him. “Wei Ting, what’s wrong?

Wei Ting said coldly, “The Divine Might General, Helian Ye, killed my grandfather. He cut off my grandfather’s head and hung it on the city tower with his corpse. He once threatened to kill every member of the Wei family..”
