The mont the other party rushed in, Zhuge Qing had already pressed the chanism on the wheelchair. With a slight movent of his fingertip, a crossbow hole would appear behind the wheelchair and a row of poisonous arrows would be shot.
However, when that familiar voice sounded, Zhuge Qing’s body froze.
Wei Ting looked at his tense body and said, “If you don’t scream, I won’t hurt you. In addition, you’re not allowed to look back at .”
He did not want his face to be rembered.
Zhuge Qing did not move or say anything. He just sat quietly in the wheelchair.
Wei Ting stayed in the pavilion for a while. After confirming that the other party did not chase after him, he sheathed his sword and turned to leave the pavilion.
But for so reason, he had clearly walked down and turned back to look at the pavilion.
The assassin waited until Wei Ting was far away before returning to the pavilion. “Sir, are you alright?”
Just now, he was afraid that that person would hurt Sir, so he did not move and waited for the other party to leave.
“I’m fine,” Zhuge Qing said after calming down.
Assassins had killed countless people and were extrely good at judging people’s emotions through their aura. He felt that Sir was a little uneasy at this mont.
This was not like Sir’s personality.
However, he did not dare to ask about his master.
He thought for a mont and said, “Sir, I’ll continue to kill him.”
“Wait.” Zhuge Qing stopped him. “There’s no need to kill anymore.”
i Ji heard this as soon as she entered. She asked in confusion, “Who are you not killing?”
“The guy who offended you,” the assassin said.
“Why aren’t you killing him?” i Ji was even more puzzled.
Zhuge Qing asked, “Is that the person who went to Crimson Moon Theater to ask about today?”
“Yes,” i Ji said.
Zhuge Qing said seriously, “Don’t touch him in the future.”
i Ji and the assassin were surprised.
Wei Ting returned to the pavilion guarded by the servants of the Princess’s
Residence. Yuwen Xi was not around, as she had been called away by the Western Jin Emperor. Su Xiaoxiao was alone in the pavilion.
Su Xiaoxiao was peeling an orange. She glanced at him and asked, “You’ve been gone for so long?”
“An assassination.” Wei Ting sat down beside her.
Su Xiaoxiao stopped peeling the orange. “Soone from the opera house?”
Wei Ting nodded. “The one chasing after is a Black Armored Guard. The opera house is related to Yuwen Huai.”
Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “Could it be that… the opera house is Yuwen Huai’s faction? But why were you chased by Yuwen Huai for investigating your second brother?”
Wei Ting pondered for a mont and said, “I suspect that Yuwen Huai did sothing to my second brother. He was afraid that soone would avenge my second brother, so he killed everyone who ca.”
Su Xiaoxiao humd. “That makes sense, but I keep feeling that sothing is wrong… Xiaohu is crying!”
She heard cries coming from the grassland. The cries were drowned out by the clamor of the venue, but mothers were always especially sensitive to their children’s cries.
“I’ll go take a look,” Wei Ting said.
Su Xiaoxiao put down the half-peeled orange. “Isn’t soone after you? I’ll go.”
Wei Ting placed the orange back in her hand. “They don’t dare to attack in public.”
Su Xiaoxiao watched him walk quickly to the grassland and thought to herself that this guy was always slacking off in the countryside. Recently, he had been getting more and more diligent. Did he know how to dote on people?
Oops.
What was she thinking?
Su Xiaoxiao pulled her slightly red ears.
“Yo, Miss, who is this?”
An unfriendly mocking voice suddenly ca from below the pavilion.
Su Xiaoxiao could tell that it was the maidservant she had t once in the pharmacy.
She looked down at her.
As expected, she saw the Eldest Prince’s daughter who had fought with her for the snow lotus last ti. She had already heard her na from the little princess. She was Yuwen Jing, Yuwen Huai’s second daughter from his secondary consort.
Her status was inferior to Yuwen Xin’s. No wonder she was not conferred the title of princess.
However, it was said that Yuwen Huai doted on her very much. She had a high status in the residence, so she had the guts to go against Yuwen Xin repeatedly.
There was also an old friend who ca with her today.
Yuwen Jing and the others entered the pavilion of the Princess’s Residence

Yuwen Jing looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a sense of superiority. “It’s really you.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze swept past her and landed on the face of an old friend. She smiled. “Long ti no see, Princess Lingxi. Or should I call you Consort Ling?”
The princesses from Northern Yan and Great Zhou ca for marriage alliance.
None of the princes had a share. They were all conferred concubines by the
Western Jin Emperor. One was Consort Ling, and the other was Consort Jing..
