Emperor Jing Xuan was shocked. After a while, he looked at the man in black and asked, “Is the news reliable?”

The man in black said, “Zhuge Qing appeared in the Western Jin a year after Wei Qing died in battle. According to our investigation, we can confirm that the two are the same person.”

Emperor Jing Xuan remembered what had happened a few months ago. “No wonder he moved into the Wei family as soon as he arrived in the capital. The Wei family did not spare efforts to find medicine for him.”

His eldest son had even gone to Broken North Pass to find medicine for Zhuge Qing. Now that he thought about it, his eldest son had clearly been tricked by the Wei family!

Emperor Jing Xuan remembered that when he was about to give Zhuge Qing a marriage, Zhuge Qing pulled out the Western Jin Emperor’s sword to show off.

It was fine if the people of the Western Jin did this, but the other party was actually his official. This was simply offending his superior!

Emperor Jing Xuan was more or less unhappy.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked unhappily.

The man in black said casually, “I know.”

Emperor Jing Xuan continued, “Does the Western Jin Emperor know that he’s Wei Qing?”

The man in black said, “He most likely knows.”

Emperor Jing Xuan asked in confusion, “Since he knew, why was he willing to let Wei Qing back?”

The man in black said, “Wei Qing has a cold illness and doesn’t have much time left. If he doesn’t come out to look for medicine, he can only wait for death.”

Emperor Jing Xuan frowned. “I still think that the Western Jin Emperor is taking too much risk. Zhuge Qing is his trusted strategist and plans for him. Isn’t he afraid that Wei Qing will turn around to deal with him after returning to the Great Zhou?”

The man in black smiled faintly. “According to our investigation, the Western

Jin Emperor trusts him very much.”

“Trust?” Emperor Jing Xuan paced around the house. “Could it be that Wei Qing has already betrayed the Great Zhou and completely joined the Western Jin?”

Just as he was thinking, Eunuch Quan came to report from outside the sleeping hall. “Your Majesty, His Highness Liang requests an audience.”

Emperor Jing Xuan gave the man in black a look.

The man in black cupped his hands and bowed. He smiled and said, “I’ll take my leave first.”

On the way to Emperor Jing Xuan’s bedroom, Xiao Shunyang saw the man in black from afar.

The man in black walked on another path and did not look in his direction.

This person had clearly come from his father’s bedroom.

Father had secret guards by his side, but they had never dressed like this.

Xiao Shunyang was a martial artist and could feel that the other party’s aura was very powerful.

When did such an expert appear beside Father? “Your Highness?”

Eunuch Quan reminded him with a smile.

Xiao Shunyang retracted his gaze and went to Emperor Jing Xuan’s bedroom.

“Father.”

He bowed to Emperor Jing Xuan.

Emperor Jing Xuan sat on the chair and glanced at him. “Aren’t you recuperating? Why did you enter the palace in the middle of the night?”

Xiao Shunyang said seriously, “I heard that Wei Xu has returned to the capital. Wei Chen, Wei Qing, and Wei Yan, who died in battle five years ago, have also returned. ”

Emperor Jing Xuan said calmly, “That’s true.”

Xiao Shunyang said, “Father.” Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Wei Qing is Zhuge Qing.”

Xiao Shunyang was shocked. “What?”

Emperor Jing Xuan had a headache all night and was really unwilling to mention it anymore, but there were some things that he had to figure out. “Didn’t you find any clues when you went to the Southern Wilderness with them?”

Xiao Shunyang blamed himself and said, “He was wearing a mask all the way. I… have never seen his face, nor have I guessed in the direction of Wei Qing.”

Although there was a common word in their names, Wei Qing was already dead. Who would link the two of them together?

Xiao Shunyang made up for his mistake and said, “However, I just asked around about Wei Chen and Wei Yan from the servants. They’ve seen the two of them. Wei Yan’s appearance was destroyed and he lost his right arm. Among the guards of the Wei family who went to the southern border, there’s a powerful death warrior and an expert with a golden arm. I guess they’re Wei Chen and Wei Yan.”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s gaze darkened. “In that case, the two of them weren’t found in the Southern Wilderness? Instead, they returned to the Wei family earlier on?”

Xiao Shunyang nodded. “Probably.”

Emperor Jing Xuan clenched his fists. “Why have they been hiding their identities? What are they secretly plotting?!”

Xiao Shunyang said, “When they were in the Southern Wilderness, they had always lived together. I was knocked unconscious outside their courtyard. I suspect that the marriage between Hui An and the Southern Wilderness was also destroyed by them.”

A dangerous cold glint flashed across Emperor Jing Xuand’s eyes. “Wei Xu, is your Wei family trying to rebel?”

The next day, the three tiger heads woke up and realized that they were in the Protectorate. They were overjoyed and climbed out of bed to look for their grandfather.

Su Cheng was checking the swings for the three little ones.

They had not played for a few months and he did not know if the swings were still stable.

“Grandpa!”

“Grandpa!”

“Grandpa!”

The three little ones ran towards him.

Dahu was the fastest and pounced into Su Cheng’s arms.

Erhu was second.

Xiaohu couldn’t outrun his two brothers. He was so angry that he lay on the grass and refused to move. “Hmph!”

Su Cheng hugged the two little fellows and walked over to hug Xiaohu.

Xiaohu turned around and curled up. He covered his face with his small hands in a fit of pique.

Su Cheng picked the little fellow up. “Run faster next time.”

Xiaohu looked away.

Su Cheng said, “You don’t like Grandpa anymore? Then Grandpa can leave.”

Xiaohu hugged Su Cheng’s neck and buried his head in his neck. “I want

Grandpa.”

Su Cheng laughed. After playing with the three little ones for a while, Su Ergou came over.

The three of them began to pester their uncle again.

Su Ergou was no longer the Ergou who could walk back from town with the little packrats and cry.

He was much stronger now and had even learned qinggong. He brought the little packrat to play and ruthlessly regained his dignity.

After fooling around for a while, Su Xiaoxiao called them over for breakfast.

The family went to the side hall and sat around the Eight Immortals table.

The three little ones liked the table. Su Cheng and Su Ergou had long made separate high stools for them.

After eating, Xiaohu started wheedling again.

“I want Grandpa to feed me.”

“Alright, alright, alright. Grandpa will feed you.” Su Cheng picked up Xiaohu’s spoon and fed him a mouthful of egg soup.

Xiaohu had an exaggerated expression, enjoying and smug. “I want Uncle to feed me!”

Su Ergou also fed him.

The little guy skipped over Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting and knew that they would not spoil him. He tilted his head. “I want Sangsang to feed me!”

Mei Ji had taught him.

Cheng Sang didn’t mind the way he addressed her and smiled as she fed Xiaohu a small bun.

Xiaohu took a bite with relish, his little body twisting proudly.

It was his turn next. After going to his father and grandfather, if nothing went wrong, he would be going for great-grandpa.

Zongzheng Wei was prepared to be called great-grandpa.

Xiaohu imitated the way the village head called him. “I want Old Brother Na to teed me!”

Zongzheng Wei was speechless.

After the meal, Wei Ting brought Xiaohu back to the house alone and asked him to stand in the corner while he moved a stool to sit opposite him. Wei Ting looked at him solemnly. “Do you know your mistake?”

Xiaohu nodded. “I do.”

Wei Ting continued, “Do you still dare to do it next time?”

Xiaohu thought for a moment and said honestly, “I dare.”

Wei Ting was speechless!
