The middle-aged man was silent for a moment before saying in a gentler tone, “Our White Lotus Society has indeed overlooked this matter. Next time, I’ll choose a more powerful expert to give to His First Highness.”

Xiao Duye said gloomily, “There’s no need. I’ve already been fired by Father and am no longer Vice Commander of the Imperial Guards. I can’t insert anyone even if I want to.”

The middle-aged man smiled and asked, “Does Your Highness want to be reinstated?”

Xiao Duye looked at him suspiciously. “What do you mean?

The middle-aged man said unhurriedly, “Your Highness, the entire capital thinks that Qin Canglan’s granddaughter is behind Princess Hui An’s disappearance. In order to clear her name, that girl will definitely come out to look for Princess Hui An.”

“Her?” Xiao Duye expressed his doubts.

The middle-aged man smiled. “Your Highness still doesn’t understand her.”

Xiao Duye couldn’t help but remember the night Emperor Jing Xuan was poisoned. Su Xiaoxiao had forced him back a few steps.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, that little fat girl was indeed a little different.

“So?” Xiao Duye asked.

The middle-aged man said, “So we’ll catch her.”

Xiao Duye said casually, “If you capture her, can I be reinstated to my position? There’s no evidence at the moment if she kidnapped Hui An. My father said that he wanted to punish her, but it was just an excuse to control the Qin family. My father won’t really do anything to her. Moreover, she once saved my father.”

The middle-aged man smiled again. “I’m not referring to His Majesty. Your Highness, you might not know, but Su Daya and Wei Ting have already been married in the countryside.”

Xiao Duye asked strangely, “The countryside? What countryside?”

The middle-aged man said tirelessly, “The person who cultivated at the Dragon Temple was the fake Wei Ting. The real Wei Ting went to Qingzhou and was chased by Xiao Zhonghua there. After that, he was seriously injured and was saved by Su Cheng. He became their live-in son-in-law.”

“How is that possible?” Xiao Duye did not believe it.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Otherwise, does Your Highness really think that Wei Ting agreed to this marriage in the throne room today because he was afraid of His Majesty’s dragon might? Wei Ting has resisted the decree once or twice. What’s wrong with one more time?”

Xiao Duye hesitated. “That being said..

The middle-aged man continued, “Your Highness should understand that our

White Lotus Society’s information has never been wrong.”

This was true. The believers of the White Lotus Society were all over the world, so gathering information was easy.

Xiao Duye frowned. “But why did Wei Ting go to Qingzhou? Why was he chased by Third Brother?”

Hearing Xiao Duye call Xiao Zhonghua Third Brother, the middle-aged man changed his address. “I’m not sure why the Third Prince chased after Wei Ting.

There must be an unspeakable secret between them. Otherwise, the first thing the Third Prince would do when he returned to the capital would definitely be to report Wei Ting.”

Xiao Duye muttered, “Concubine Xian… once testified against Wei Ting and Su

Daya. She said that Wei Ting had been to Qingzhou and was married to Su

Daya. In the end, she was denied by a pair of grandparents in the village.”

The middle-aged man said casually, “They’re just two villagers. It’s not difficult to control them.”

Xiao Duye felt that this gossip was a little strange. He couldn’t digest it for a while. “So it’s true that the Qin and Wei families… have long colluded? They had such a huge feud… aren’t they going to care?”

The middle-aged man said earnestly, “Your Highness, there are no eternal enemies in this world. There are only unchanging interests.” Xiao Duye fell silent.

A moment later, he asked, “So you plan to capture Su Daya?”

“Your Highness is smart.” The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Duye with admiration. “That girl should be on the way. With her around, do you think Qin Canglan and Wei Ting will walk into a trap?”

Xiao Duye asked calmly, “What does this have to do with my recovery? Don’t tell me you want me to kill Wei Ting and Qin Canglan? Not to mention whether I can kill them or not, even if I kill them, I’ll be in trouble for nothing!”

The middle-aged man smiled confidently and said, “Your Highness, is this credit enough for you to catch Wei Ting colluding with the White Lotus Society and successfully saving Princess Hui An?”

“What about Qin Canglan?” Xiao Duye asked.

The middle-aged man smiled playfully. “He also discovered Wei Ting’s secret and was killed by him.”

“Stop! Stop quickly! I’m going to vomit! Urgh…’

Princess Hui An held the wall of the carriage with one hand and covered her chest with the other. Perhaps it was because it was too bumpy, but her stomach was churning badly.

The man in black ignored her.

“I really can’t take it anymore… It’s so uncomfortable… Let me rest for a while… Tell the carriage to stop for a while… urgh…”

Princess Hui An covered her mouth tightly.

It was too uncomfortable… really too uncomfortable— The man in black frowned at her.

Finally, he said to the coachman, “Stop for a moment.”

The coachman pulled the carriage to the side of the road.

Princess Hui An couldn’t take it anymore. She lifted the curtain and vomited out of the carriage in a sorry state.

She did not eat much today and was about to vomit bile.

She vomited until she collapsed.

“I don’t want to take the carriage anymore…”

The man in black said coldly, “Are you done vomiting? We’re leaving.”

“Wait.” Princess Hui An grabbed the door frame. “Let me vomit for a while more…”

Princess Hui An actually didn’t have much left to vomit, but she really didn’t want to continue enduring the pain of the bumpy ride. She would stall for as long as she could.

She pretended to retch.

The man in black saw that something was wrong and was about to ask the coachman to continue driving.

The coachman said, “I’ll go relieve myself.”

The man in black said, “Go further away.”

“Got it.” The coachman glanced at Princess Hui An. “It’s troublesome to bring a woman. ”

He went to the forest to relieve himself.

The man in black waited for a while, but when he did not return, he frowned and wondered if he should call him.

At this moment, the coachman’s scream came from the forest. “Ah!”

The man in black’s eyes turned cold. He grabbed a rope and tied Princess Hui

An to the carriage. Then, he quickly pulled out his sword and went to the forest. Princess Hui An was exasperated. “You bastard! Let go of me! Let go of me!”

After the man in black entered the forest, he saw the coachman whose heart had been pierced by an arrow.

His expression darkened as he looked around warily. “Who is it? Come out quickly!”

Birds flew past the forest, startling a string of leaves.

Since the other party was an archer, he could not be completely exposed under his nose.

He used the tree as a cover and was vigilant of movements in all directions.

At this moment, an arrow tore through the air and shot straight at the spot between his eyebrows.

He dodged to the side!

The arrow brushed past his ear and shot into the tree behind him!

He raised his hand and touched the tip of his painful ear. It was warm blood.

“You actually shot me. Very good!”

In the carriage, Princess Hui An screamed, “Ah! Ahhh! Go away…”

As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage left.

The man in black could not be bothered to deal with the archer. He used his qinggong to chase after the carriage.

Behind a locust tree by the road, Princess Hui An looked at the departing carriage and the man in black and whispered, “Are you really leaving?

She turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao, who was holding the bow and arrow behind her, and raised her proud chin.

“Your archery is not bad. You’re only slightly inferior to me..”
