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…’
