Chapter 1348: Mutual Trap, Killing Xiahou Yi (2)
Editor: Atlas Studios
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao said, “Phoenix birds aren’t afraid of the cold. They’re afraid of the heat.”
“Huh?”
Steward Chang was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao entered the house and carried out the two phoenix birds whose eyes were white from the heat. She placed them in the cold wind.
After blowing for a mont, the dying birds finally recovered.
The two birds seed to have finally seen their family. They flapped their wings and pounced at Su Xiaoxiao, chirping aggrievedly around her feet.
Uh… wasn’t this the cry of the Wuhu?
Don’t be led astray by that traitor!
Su Xiaoxiao squatted down and touched the two phoenix birds. “Alright, alright, it’s not hot anymore. It won’t be hot in the future. I brought you phoenix grass. Eat it quickly.”
She took the phoenix grass out of the basket.
Despite the na, phoenix grass was actually a sprout of a plant. Phoenix birds loved to eat it.
Seeing that the phoenix birds was really eating, Steward Chang was dumbfounded. “It’s really… it’s just hot…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “They also eat grains and so flower seeds, but they are particular about what they drink. They only drink morning dew.”
Steward Chang noted it down carefully.
After Su Xiaoxiao fed the phoenix birds, she went to Xiahou Qing with Xie Jinnian to report.
Xiahou Qing had already finished dealing with his official business and was comparing the half of the real treasure map with the fake treasure map that Lou Bufan had given him.
“City Lord, Second Young Master and the Second Young Madam of the Flower Palace request an audience.”
The guard reported.
Xiahou Qing nodded, folded the treasure map, and placed it into the brocade box beside him.
The two of them entered.
Su Xiaoxiao told Xiahou Qing about the situation with the phoenixes and told the City Lord not to worry. As long as they were fed strictly according to her instructions, he would definitely be able to raise the two phoenixes until they were fat.
—The feathers of an adult phoenix are colorful.
Xiahou Qing was relieved and was about to ask about Ling Yun’s situation.
Suddenly, Xie Jinnian said, “What did you say? There’s a strange sll in the box?”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Head Eunuch, what are you doing?
When did I speak?
Xie Jinnian pointed at the brocade box on the table and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Is this the box? Why can’t I sll it? Yes, Yun Lin ntioned to that your sense of sll is different from ordinary people.”
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched.
What had he ntioned to you?
“Foster father.” Xie Jinnian looked at Xiahou Qing worriedly.
A trace of suspicion flashed across Xiahou Qing’s eyes, but after thinking about it, she was not an outsider. She had repaired his relationship with his son many tis, so he asked Xie Jinnian to bring the brocade box over for her to see.
Xie Jinnian brought the brocade box over and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao. “Sll it carefully.”
Su Xiaoxiao glared at him.
Xie Jinnian had his back facing Xiahou Qing. His expression was calm, but his tone was extrely surprised. “What did you say… You… You…”
Su Xiaoxiao: “I didn’t say a word!”
I’ll watch you act. Continue acting!
Xiahou Qing asked, “Xiaoxiao, what did you discover?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xie Jinnian coldly. “That’s right, Second Young Master. What did I discover?”
Xie Jinnian turned around with a complicated expression. “Foster Father, don’t bla Second Young Madam. If it were , I probably wouldn’t dare to say it.”
Xiahou Qing said, “Go ahead.”
Xie Jinnian said, “Second Young Madam said that… on this half of the sheepskin scroll in the box… there’s the sll of dicine in Great Uncle’s room… It’s very faint… but she can sll it… and she won’t be wrong…”
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth curled up.
Damn it!
Not only did you scam on the way, but you also continued to sabotage after entering the residence!
Xiahou Yi had just sent soone to assassinate him when his counterattack was arranged.
He even dragged her into it!
Xiahou Qing frowned. “Xiaoxiao, are you serious?”
If the treasure map had the sll of dicine from his uncle’s room, it ant that the treasure map had once been placed with his uncle for a long ti. Otherwise, it would not have been tainted with the sll of dicine.
Could it be—
No, that was his uncle!
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao purse her lips in silence, Xiahou Qing said solemnly, “Xiaoxiao, this half of the sheepskin scroll is not an ordinary map. Its importance exceeds your imagination. Think carefully. Does it really… sll like the dicine in Granduncle’s room?”
These words seed to be emphasizing the importance of the treasure map, but they were actually warning Su Xiaoxiao not to slander Xiahou Yi casually.
Xiahou Zheng was his adopted son, but Xiahou Yi was his biological uncle and was related to him by blood.
Moreover, when he was young, he was taken care of by Xiahou Yi.
He had always treated Xiahou Yi as his biological father.
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated.
Xiahou Qing said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? It’s fine if you were mistaken. We’re all on the sa side. I won’t bla you.”
Enough was enough. If he corrected her in ti, he could forgive her this ti on account of Yun Lin.
Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said with difficulty, “I… I can tell the truth, but the City Lord has to promise that no matter what I say, you won’t kill or punish . Only then would I dare to say it.”
Xiahou Qing said seriously, “If you’re not guilty, I naturally won’t punish you. If you deliberately fra soone, I won’t let you off easily.”
Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes. “Alright, alright, I’ll say it! I did sll a little, but I wasn’t sure. The reason why I… dared to suspect Second Master… was because Second Master told on the way here that his subordinates saw the fourth dragon crystal in Second Grandmaster’s room.”
Xiahou Qing looked at Xie Jinnian.
Xie Jinnian’s eyelids twitched.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.
Co on, let’s attack each other!
“Is this true?”
Xiahou Qing clenched his fists and looked at Xie Jinnian.
Su Xiaoxiao asked weakly, “City Lord, should I leave and wait for you outside?”
Xiahou Qing agreed.
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and stopped when she brushed past Xie Jinnian. She raised her eyebrows and whispered,
“Eunuch Jin, I advise you to quickly put the dragon crystal in Xiahou Yi’s courtyard and confirm the framing. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the City Lord won’t be able to find it and you’ll be in trouble.
“Ah, right, it seems that you’ve run out of bird food.”
“Ruyi loves you!”
