Su Xiaoxiao left some ointment and anti- inflammatory medicine for Jing Yi. She also prescribed a prescription to warm his blood.

When Jing Shengming and the Marquis Weiwu saw that Jing Yi’s mental state was indeed better than before, they couldn’t help but be secretly surprised. The other party looked so young, but she actually had such medical skills.

Looking at the departing figures of the group, the Marquis of Weiwu suddenly said, “Father, don’t you think she looks familiar?”

Jing Shengming was deep in thought. “Maybe she looks like Qin Canglan?”

While waiting outside, the Marquis of Weiwu learned Su Xiaoxiao’s identity from his father.

The Marquis of Weiwu was puzzled. “But Qin Canglan isn’t that good-looking..

“Why are you staring at a little girl?” “Father, you misunderstand. I don’t mean anything else.”

Marquis Weiwu was really wronged.

Thinking of something, the Marquis Weiwu said, “She grew up among the commoners. How did she learn medicine?”

Jing Shengming said, “I heard that she took a doctor in town as her master.”

Marquis Weiwu asked, “Is the doctor in town skilled in medicine? Why did he take a country girl as his disciple? Father, don’t you think that girl is a little strange?”

Jing Shengming looked at the disappearing figure in the night and didn’t say anything.

After leaving Family Jing, Xiao Zhonghua’s coachman drove the carriage over. Xiao Zhonghua looked at the two of them and wanted to say something but hesitated.

He placed one foot on the footstool and suddenly turned around. He said to Wei Ting, “Thank you for last night.”

With that, he got into the carriage.

The carriage left.

Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “Why would he thank you?”

When they were assassinated last night, Su Xiaoxiao had already gone down to save Su Ergou. She didn’t know that Wei Ting had saved Xiao Zhonghua’s life.

Wei Ting told him about the assassination.

“I see.” Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened.

“However,” Su Xiaoxiao asked again, “was the assassination a coincidence?”

Wei Ting said in a low voice, “Maybe I just happened to appear with Xiao Zhonghua. This is a rare opportunity. If they didn’t make a move, there won’t be a next time.”

As they spoke, the two of them got into the carriage. Wei Ting lifted the curtain and placed one hand on the door frame.

The top of her head brushed past his palm.

When she sat down, he lowered the curtain and sat beside her.

Fu Su drove the carriage in the direction of the medical center.

“I’ll allow you to treat Jing Yi’s injuries,” Wei Ting said seriously.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “You’re suddenly so kind? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll attract people outside?”

Wei Ting said casually, “Heh, that’s a kid who hasn’t even grown his hair!”

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. “You heard what he said to me just now, right?”

Wei Ting said lightly, “I don’t have the habit of eavesdropping.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Yes, you didn’t eavesdrop. You listened openly. Who asked you to have good hearing, right?”

Wei Ting remained silent with a serious expression.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him in amusement.

Wei Ting changed the topic decisively, “The poisoning of the Marquis of

Zhenbei has nothing to do with the Wei family. It was someone else.”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “Oh, how could your Wei family hold back from killing the two families?”

Wei Ting naturally could not say that they had wanted to do it but failed.

He coughed lightly and said seriously, “Our Wei family is open and aboveboard, so we naturally disdain to do such a thing.”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Oh.”

Wei Ting looked at her coldly. “What kind of expression is that?”

“Nothing!” Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “By the way, you just said that when you planned to leave a few of the assassins alive last night, the Eldest Prince arrived with the imperial guards and killed them.”

Coming back to the main topic, Wei Ting’s expression became serious. “That’s right. ”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Doesn’t that mean that the Eldest Prince is very suspicious?” Wei Ting nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Who is he trying to kill? You and the Third Prince, or one of you?”

Wei Ting paused for a moment and said, “It’s best to kill both of us at the same time. If he really could only kill one, he will kill Xiao Zhonghua and frame the Wei family.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and said, “Killing Xiao Zhonghua and framing the Wei Family… Not only can he get away with it, but he can also get rid of a stumbling block on the path to the throne. Most importantly, it would give the Emperor a reason to deal with the Wei Family.”

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her double chin, “The Crown Prince really knows what his father is thinking.”

The Wei family had made great contributions to the country. Emperor Jing Xuan had long wanted to take back the Wei family’s military power, but almost all the sons of the Wei family had died in battle at the border. With such contributions, the sun and moon could bear witness. If Emperor Jing Xuan wanted to touch the Wei family, he would definitely be doubted and spurned by the entire world.

There might even be a very dishonorable stroke in the history books.

If Emperor Jing Xuan wanted to leave his name in history, he could not be reckless.

What could discredit the Wei family more than assassinating a prince?

Wei Ting said, “There was another survivor. He’s an archer in the forest. We let him escape for the time being.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is he also on the Crown Prince’s side?”

Wei Ting frowned slightly. “It’s hard to say.”

Su Xiaoxiao was confused. “What do you mean?”

Wei Ting told her the news he had obtained from Matriarch Wei. “The token that fell from that person belonged to a sect that had long disappeared. Back then, it was my grandfather who personally led his troops to eradicate it.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “Does the Imperial Court bother about the martial world?”

Wei Ting said, “Normally, we don’t bother. However, that sect was blind. They actually kidnapped the imperial envoy sent by the Imperial Court to provide disaster relief and even took away the silver.”

“Oh, then they are courting death.” Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and said, “If the Eldest Prince colludes with them, wouldn’t it be a taboo for the Emperor?”

“That’s right.” Wei Ting tapped his fingertips on the table twice. “When we catch that assassin, there will be a good show to watch.”

Su Xiaoxiao only knew two princes. One was the Third Prince, Xiao Zhonghua, and the other was the Eldest Prince, Xiao Duye. Judging from the current situation, neither of them was simple.

Wei Ting’s eyes were deep as he said, “The reason why the emperor hasn’t appointed a crown prince until now is to prevent his sons from killing each other like he did back then. Unfortunately, that dragon throne is made of blood. No one can sit on it cleanly.”

Su Xiaoxiao agreed.

Su Xiaoxiao thought of something and said, “Do you think… the corpses under the pavilion are related to the Eldest Prince?”

In any case, she did not believe that the Eldest Prince happened to pass by.

Wei Ting pondered for a moment and said, “The case is still in the preliminary investigation stage. At the moment, there’s no concrete evidence to prove that it’s related to the Eldest Prince.”

If there were, it would be too terrifying. With so many corpses, it was unknown what kind of shocking bloody case it was.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What did you see down there?”

Wei Ting recalled, “Skeletons… countless skeletons… sitting or lying… some curled up… some lying on their stomachs… in different postures.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It sounds like they once lived in the cellar. They weren’t carried in after they died.”

Wei Ting narrowed his eyes and said, “I had the same feeling the first time I saw it.”

Su Xiaoxiao sniffed.

“What’s wrong?” Wei Ting looked at her strangely.

Su Xiaoxiao leaned over, grabbed his clothes, and sniffed him. Then, she lifted the curtain and sniffed outside.

“Wei Ting, do you smell that?”

Wei Ting asked strangely, “Smell what?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Fragrance, the fragrance in the cellar.”

Wei Ting frowned. “Was there a fragrance in the cellar?”

He could only smell the aura and stench of the rotting corpses.

“Stop the carriage!” Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Fu Su hurriedly stopped the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the curtain and jumped off the carriage.

Wei Ting hurriedly followed.

Su Xiaoxiao’s steps were much faster than when she was in the countryside, and her movements became especially agile. She entered a study room.

The owner of the study room asked her if she wanted to buy books or calligraphy, and she quickly went out the back door.

The boss was confused.

Finally, another person came.

The boss’s eyes lit up. “Sir…”

Wei Ting also left.

Su Xiaoxiao entered an empty alley and frowned. “I lost him.”

Wei Ting looked up. “We didn’t lose him.”

Su Xiaoxiao: “Huh?”

Wei Ting used his Light-body Technique and leaped onto the roof.. He grabbed a sneaky figure and unceremoniously threw him down!
