“I will encounter many things when I go to the palace this time. I’m afraid that 1 won’t be able to take care of you, so I can’t bring you along.” Su Qian’s heart ached for her two children, but she didn’t want to take the children on a dangerous journey. “Don’t worry, I will take care of myself.”
Hearing this, the two children still looked worried and didn’t feel at ease. “Then, then why don’t you take Xiao Yin and Little Wolf with you, Mother? We’ll just have Gray Fatty at home to protect us, alright? We promise not to cause trouble and will stay put.”
Su Qian was concerned that the Tianji Sect and the Demon Sect would come looking for trouble and threaten the safety of the two children, so Xiao Yin and Little Wolf had been in charge of protecting the children these days. They could easily handle any troublemakers who came by.
Gray Fatty, who had been lying on the bed with its belly spread out and sleeping soundly, did not know that it had been given high hopes. After hearing this, it woke up with a drool and its tender voice was filled with greed, “Snacks? What snacks? Where are the snacks? I want to eat too, give me one too!”
Su Qian, Su Ye, and Su Qingqing were speechless.
“Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. How can we rely on you?” Xiao Yin was so angry that he used his spider leg to hit Gray Fatty’s head, which made Gray Fatty look so aggrieved that he didn’t know what he had done wrong.
“Xiao Yin and Little Wolf should stay. You two be good, and I’ll be back soon.” As Su Qian spoke, she raised her hand and patted the two children’s heads.
The children were still worried. At this critical moment, a pitch-black figure flew out of Su Qian’s sleeve.
“Don’t worry, Young Masters. Leave Master’s safety to me, Feng Aotian!” Black Ball flew out and puffed out its chest proudly. “I’m an extraordinary divine beast. With me around, I guarantee that no one will dare to bully Master!” “Howl?” Little Wolf looked at Black Ball suspiciously.
Black Ball was not even as big as its paw. It really doubted its ability.
Su Qian had never seen Black Ball in action before, so she looked at it suspiciously. “Are you sure you can handle this?”
“Of course! 1 can definitely do it.” Black Ball proudly raised its chin and said proudly, “Master, don’t worry. If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll help you cut them!”
“Alright then, I’ll bring you along.” Su Qian grabbed Black Ball and placed it on her shoulder. Then, under the expectant gazes of the two children, she left with Gray Fatty.
Outside the door, Ye Liuguang had been waiting for a long time before the two of them headed to the palace.
Now, the rumor that Su Qian was Du Qi had already spread throughout the circle of important figures in the capital. These people dared not to believe this rumor and only secretly kept it in mind.
For instance, this palace banquet is typically hosted by the Empress. Only the n.o.bles in the imperial capital could attend such an occasion.
If it was in the past, the Empress would not have specially sent an invitation to Su Qian. However, her actions now showed a level of respect for Su Qian that surpa.s.sed what she used to receive.
The Empress supported her own son, which was the First Prince. On the other hand, Su Qian was not interested in the power struggles and conflict among the royal family and might not have given the Empress any face in the past.
However, today was different. Su Qian led Ye Liuguang, who was disguised as her guard, into the palace on time.
The palace banquet was held in Weiyang Hall, and the moment Su Qian appeared, she successfully attracted everyone’s attention..
