Chapter 772: Good News
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Xiaoxiao was woken up by the twilight through the gap in the curtain. When she woke up, she realized that she was still lying in someone’s arms.
An indescribable memory surged into her mind like fireworks in the night, making her heart pound.
It had been a while since the wedding. Although she and Wei Ting were together every day, they did not sleep together many times. Other than the wedding night ceremony, wasn’t it to remove the Gu? Last night, she actually had s.e.x with him without any reason.
Indeed, beauty was a hindrance.
Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and removed the indescribable image in her mind. She gently pulled open the blanket and looked in.
The two of them were tightly pressed together naked, their legs intertwined. The impact of the scene was too great, and her mind immediately buzzed.
“You’re awake?”
Wei Ting’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear. It was still magnetic with a hint of laziness, but it sounded very clear. It seemed that he had woken up long ago.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled down the blanket and pretended not to see anything. “Yes, I’m awake.”
“Get up when you’re awake. Fu Su has been here a few times.”
After saying that calmly, he lifted the blanket and got out of bed, revealing a top-notch figure that was thin when dressed and brawny naked… There was definitely no excess fat.
He bent down and picked up the clothes scattered on the ground. With every piece, Su Xiaoxiao’s memories deepened. Last night… was a little too crazy…
But why was Wei Ting so calm?
He was a completely different person from his domineering appearance at night.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him suspiciously.
Wei Ting had already put on his clothes. His long black hair hung down, making his face look even more beautiful.
“I’ll get up. Turn around.”
He was so calm, so she shouldn’t be shy. Who didn’t care about their face?
Wei Ting said coldly, “Do you need me to remind you that I’ve already seen what I should have seen? Not only did I see it, but I also…”
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. “Shut up!”
Wei Ting raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. He bent down and picked up her clothes, from one undergarment to another… and finally Luo Qun, handing them to her one by one.
Su Xiaoxiao pulled the clothes over and pulled the drapes together tightly.
Wei Ting was waiting for her outside.
After she was dressed, she walked towards Wei Ting on the deck with a cold expression.
—Both of them refused to admit it after sleeping together.
She coughed lightly. “Why did you suddenly…”
Wei Ting interrupted her. “You seemed to be the one who took the initiative last night.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She said seriously, “Isn’t that because you brought me here for a date? There was delicious food and beautiful fireworks. Since you’ve tried so hard to please me, I had give you some benefits!”
If not for this guy attacking first and making the atmosphere so perfect and ambiguous, how could she have been bewitched by his beauty?
Wei Ting chuckled and said, “If that’s what you mean,” Wei Ting said coldly. “You took the initiative to ask me for s.e.x and reminded me to fulfill my duty as a husband. We’re husband and wife, so I naturally shouldn’t not disappoint you.”
How did it become her taking the initiative to ask for s.e.x?
Su Xiaoxiao was about to speak when she suddenly sensed his meaningful gaze sweep across the Guanyin Child-endowing Talisman on her neck.
Could it be that he still insisted that she had taken the initiative to ask his grandmother for this talisman to hint to him to give her a child?
She wanted to murder her husband!
She did not get pregnant during the wedding or the Gu removal. She did not believe that she would get pregnant this time!
On Fu Su’s fifth visit, he finally picked up the two of them.
But was it an illusion? Why did he feel that Young Madam wanted to kill Young Master?
Young Master had spent so much effort last night. He had hired the entire pleasure boat, asked someone to decorate the streets, and even asked someone to set off fireworks for the entire night. Did these not please Young Madam?
“Fu Su,” Su Xiaoxiao called.
“Ah? Young Madam!” Fu Su, who was driving the carriage, came back to his senses.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Is something the matter?” She purely did not want to talk to Wei Ting and found someone else to chat with.
Unexpectedly, Fu Su did have something serious to do. “There’s news from the
Western Jin.”
Yuwen Xi’s falcon and Yuwen Huai’s messenger pigeon arrived one after another to send news to Su Xiaoxiao.
There should be some progress on Second Master Shen’s side. Last time at the entrance of the West Capital, Second Master Shen said that he had found the whereabouts of the herbs and immediately sent someone to inform her. Yuwen Xi asked him to go to the princess’s residence. Her falcon was faster than the courier horse at the courier station. Yuwen Huai was not to be outdone and also said that his messenger pigeon was fast.
Second Master Shen probably could not afford to offend either side, so he sent the news to both of them.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao returned to the courtyard, she immediately took off the cloth wrapped around the feed of messenger pigeon and falcon.
“Where is Sky Mountain?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting. She was not familiar with the terrain of Northern Yan.
Wei Ting said, “Thirty miles north of Broken North Pa.s.s.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Are my grandfather and Su MO sending food to Broken North Pa.s.s?”
Wei Ting took a map of the border from the bookshelf and spread it out. He pointed at the place with Zi Town written on it. “It’s near to Broken North Pa.s.s, but it’s not close to Broken North Pa.s.s. They have official business on this trip, so it’s not convenient for them to leave the camp without permission. Otherwise, they will be punished by military law. In addition, they have to transport supplies and march slowly. If the cavalry sets off from the capital now, they might be able to reach the border faster than them.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “I understand.”
At night, Wei Ting contacted Ghostfear and Wei Liulang, who were gathering information outside.
The three brothers went to Wei Qing and told him the whereabouts of the two herbs.
Wei Ting said, “It’s best to split up. I’ll go to Broken North Pa.s.s. Eldest Brother and Sixth Brother will go to the southern border. Second Brother will wait for our news in the capital.”
This was the safest and most time-saving method. After all, there were less than four months left.
Wei Qing paused and said, “I want to go to Broken North Pa.s.s.”
The three brothers said in unison, “No!”
Wei Qing smiled and said to Wei Ting, “If I don’t go to Broken North Pa.s.s, you have no reason to go.”
Wei Ting was an official of the Imperial Court and could not leave the capital casually. He could not use the same trick and become a monk again.
Wei Ting said, “I have my ways. Second Brother, don’t worry.”
Wei Ting entered the palace overnight to meet Emperor Jing Xuan.
Because of the rejection, Emperor Jing Xuan was in a bad mood for the next few days. He even disliked the Wei family, which was close to Zhuge Qing. He asked angrily, “What are you doing so late?”
Wei Ting said seriously, “Your Majesty, I sincerely request to leave the capital and go to Broken North Pa.s.s.”
Emperor Jing Xuan looked at him suspiciously. “Why are you going to Broken North Pa.s.s?”
Su MO and Qin Canglan had already gone to the border. If Wei Ting went too, people could not help but wonder if they were secretly colluding to rebel.
Wei Ting cupped his fists and bowed.. “I want to a.s.sa.s.sinate Helian Ye! I’m willing to swear a military order that I won’t return to the capital until Helian
Ye is beheaded!”
