Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting paid close attention to the commotion in the pavilion.

Due to the distance and the cover of the curtain, the two of them could not hear or see clearly.

They could only judge the progress of the negotiations based on the looming figure.

After an unknown period of time, Su Xiaoxiao became sleepy.

She yawned and placed her chin on the branch in front of her. “Does my father have so much to say to the Empress Dowager?”

Wei Ting placed his palm under her chin to let her rest comfortably.

“My father fights whenever there’s a disagreement in the countryside. He doesn’t like to reason with people.”

Wei Ting understood his father-in-law very well. “The countryside is different from the capital. Dad originally had no way out and could only roll up his sleeves. Now that his status is different, he has the chips and confidence to negotiate. He doesn’t want to implicate the entire family, so he naturally resorted to reasoning first.”

In the countryside, Su Cheng was only facing a few local hooligans. Whoever’s fist was stronger was the reason.

Moreover, Su Cheng never took the initiative to cause trouble for those people.

The situation tonight was very different. The person he was facing was the Empress Dowager of a country.

Moreover, to a certain extent, the Empress Dowager was not the Qin family’s enemy.

Su Xiaoxiao hummed. “My father has become brave and scheming. Do you think the Empress Dowager will agree?”

Wei Ting said, “It’s not so easy to compromise.”

The Empress Dowager was a domineering person.

Rules were rules. She did not target Su Cheng.

Anyone who made this request would be strongly suppressed by her.

The sound behind the curtain suddenly became louder.

Su Xiaoxiao woke up and quickly widened her eyes. “They’re arguing! The Empress Dowager is angry! Could it be that the negotiation fell through? Should we mobilize the troops?”

She respected the Empress Dowager, but she could not let the Empress Dowager kill her father.

Wei Ting hugged her waist to prevent her from falling in excitement. “Wait a little longer.”

An intense argument broke out in the pavilion.

The Empress Dowager slapped the stone table. “Nonsense! What kind of place do you think the palace is? Your Qin family’s backyard? You can do whatever you want? Can you take whoever you want?”

Su Cheng was still calm. “No, I didn’t want to take you away.” The Empress Dowager was speechless.

The Empress Dowager was speechless.

Eunuch Cheng, who was guarding outside the curtain, broke out in cold sweat for the Protector Duke.

Wasn’t he afraid of angering the Empress Dowager to death by talking to her like this…

The Empress Dowager was really furious. For a moment, she did not know if she should scold Xiao Shunyang or the Protector Duke.

“What makes you think I will condone your treason? Who gave you the confidence?”

Su Cheng answered honestly, “My father.”

The Empress Dowager was speechless.

“Don’t think that Qin Canglan will allow you to mess around just because you’re his only son…”

“My father knows.”

The Empress Dowager choked.

She glared at Su Cheng. “Do you have to take her away?

Su Cheng said, “Yes.”

The Empress Dowager said, “What if I don’t allow it?”

Su Cheng said, “Then I can only offend you.”

The Empress Dowager threatened, “Aren’t you afraid of death? No matter how powerful you are, you can’t beat thousands of imperial guards.”

Su Cheng thought for a moment. “I think.. you might be more afraid of me dying.”

If Qin Canglan was fighting outside in blood, but his only son was killed by the Empress Dowager, wouldn’t Qin Canglan rebel on the spot?

In the past, the Empress Dowager only felt that Su Cheng was a martial artist and had grown up in the countryside. He was most likely not good with words and was brave but not smart.

Tonight, she realized how wrong she was.

The Empress Dowager clenched her fists in anger. “Don’t think that you can force me just because you have Qin Canglan backing you!”

Su Cheng did not say anything, but his attitude said it all.

On the branch, Su Xiaoxiao wished she could throw her eyes into the pavilion. “Wei Ting, why do I feel it’s so murderous inside?” Wei Ting also felt it.

However, he still chose to believe in his father-in-law.

His father-in-law could resolve it.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around. “Why did you pull out your saber?”

Fifteen minutes later, the Empress Dowager and Su Cheng came out of the pavilion.

When the two of them passed under the tree, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Wei Ting’s lapel and threw her head into his arms.

The little fat peacock instantly became a little fat ostrich.

“Come down.”

The Empress Dowager said indifferently.

Su Xiaoxiao buried herself in Wei Ting’s arms and didn’t move. She kicked Wei Ting’s long legs. “She’s calling you. Go down.”

Wei Ting was speechless.

The Empress Dowager and Su Cheng went to Zhaoyang Hall.

Bai Xihe sat on a stone stool in the courtyard.

She looked calm, but her heart was actually surging.

Hearing footsteps, she looked at Su Cheng and the Empress Dowager nervously.

The Empress Dowager had rolled her eyes at Su Cheng countless times along the way. Her eyelids were about to twitch.

She said in a low voice, “The war between the two countries is at a critical juncture. The Grand Empress Dowager is willing to go to the Water-Moon Nunnery to pray for the soldiers of the Great Zhou. Deputy Commander Qin, please escort the Grand Empress Dowager to the Water-Moon Nunnery.”

Su Cheng cupped his hands. “I will obey the Empress Dowager’s decree!”

The next day, a shocking piece of news shocked the capital.

It was said that during the fourth watch, the Grand Empress Dowager had gone to the Water-Moon Nunnery to pray for the soldiers of the Great Zhou.

Who would have thought that when they passed by a forest, they would encounter a group of mountain bandits?

Deputy Commander Qin led the imperial guards to fight the mountain bandits to the death.

Little did he know that these mountain bandits were the remnants of the White Lotus Society. They had accumulated hatred for the Imperial Court for a long time. Not only did they heavily injure Deputy Commander Qin with a dirty trick, but they also threw the Grand Empress Dowager’s carriage off the cliff.

The whereabouts of the Grand Empress Dowager were unknown.

However, if she fell from such a high cliff, she would probably die.

When the news reached the Second Prince’s residence, Xiao Shunyang woke up from a hangover.

He had a splitting headache.

Hearing that Bai Xihe was killed, he punched the table!

“Impossible! The White Lotus Society’s power has long been uprooted. How can there be any survivors?”

The guard said, “Your Highness…”

Xiao Shunyang said with a dark expression, “It must be Qin Che! He kidnapped her!”

As he spoke, he got up and rushed out.

The guard hurriedly stopped him. “Your Highness! You can’t go out! Have you forgotten that you’ve been grounded by the Empress Dowager? Without the

Empress Dowager’s decree, you can’t take half a step out of the residence!”

Xiao Shunyang clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Every time he thought of her by another man’s side, he would go crazy with jealousy.

Xiao Shunyang said coldly, “Give me your clothes.”

The guard advised earnestly, “Your Highness, it’s useless even if you go. You’re not qualified to search the Protectorate.”

The Qin family was like the sun at noon. Who was qualified to touch the Qin family?

Unless the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince issued orders.

However, the Empress Dowager looked at the overall situation and would not easily make things difficult for the Qin family.

And the backing of the Crown Prince was the Qin family.

None of them would go against the Qin family.

Xiao Shunyang fell into a chair.

He experienced endless struggle in his heart.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He clenched his fists and said slowly, “Give me your clothes.”

The guard’s expression changed. “Your Highness!”

Xiao Shunyang said calmly, “I’m not going to the Qin family. I’m just going out for a walk.”

The guard opened his mouth. “…Yes.”

The guard and Xiao Shunyang exchanged their clothes.

The guard stayed in the room to pretend to be Xiao Shunyang, and Xiao Shunyang quietly left the residence.

He came to the Myriad Immortals Building.

The procuress yawned and said, “It’s not open during the day.”

Xiao Shunyang said, “I’m looking for Fourth Master..”
