“Yes… and no.”

At this point, there was no need to hide it. Moreover, Princess Jingning was not Emperor Jing Xuan.

“They’re the descendants of King Nanyang, but they’re not his sons.” Princess Jingning looked at Su Xiaoxiao in confusion. “Yes…”

Su Xiaoxiao confessed, “Grandsons.”

Princess Jingning was slightly stunned before understanding. “That’s true. King Nanyang has passed away for many years. How could he have a three-year-old son? I was flustered and forgot about this.”

Or perhaps she subconsciously hoped that Imperial Uncle Nanyang was still alive.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I wonder how much the Princess knows about the annihilation of the Nanyang Manor overnight.”

Princess Jingning sighed. “I heard that they died of illness. Their entire family was plagued, and no one survived.”

Su Xiaoxiao paused. “Let’s pretend that that’s the truth. A lucky person survived and gave birth to Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu a few years later.”

The two of them pointed out the truth about the Nanyang Prince’s Mansion.

Princess Jingning asked, “Is it Cousin Min?” Xiao Min was the name of the young princess.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoxiao replied.

“Then she’s now…”

“She passed away.”

Princess Jingning hesitated.

She probably wanted to ask how she passed away, but she roughly guessed it.

Princess Jingning said, “So they weren’t raised by your father. Wei Ting brought them over? Wei Ting has been to Qingzhou. He went to look for them, not for the so-called Commander’s Seal.”

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “You know about the Commander’s Seal?”

Princess Jingning said softly, “I heard a little. My brother told me.”

At the mention of this, Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “It’s quite strange. His Majesty hasn’t talked to Wei Ting. Is it because he can’t care about it or doesn’t dare to?”

“Both,” Princess Jingning said.

Emperor Jing Xuan had been harassed by the White Lotus Society recently.

At this juncture, if Emperor Jing Xuan dealt with Wei Ting for deceiving the emperor or hiding the army, he would have one less powerful general to deal with the White Lotus Society.

Their greatest enemy was the White Lotus Society.

Wei Ting was a minister. With something to use against him, was he afraid that he would not be able to pursue responsibility?

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her sincerely. “Princess, you’re very thoughtful.”

Princess Jingning said expressionlessly, “You don’t have to flatter me. I won’t tell anyone.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Princess Jingning is kind.”

Princess Jingning said, “I told you not to curry favor! I don’t like to hear it!”

Su Xiaoxiao was more sincere. “It’s my honor to make a friend like you.” Princess Jingning was speechless. She could say more.

She asked, “What are you going to do next? Have you been hiding it? If my father finds out…”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, ‘We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. We’ll talk about the future later.”

Princess Jing Ning secretly sighed at this girl’s guts. She even dared to lie like this. But on second thought, this was probably the only way now.

Actually, Princess Jingning still had many doubts in her heart, but she did not ask further.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Let’s not talk about Xiaohu. Compared to Xiaohu, the princess’s situation is more worrying.”

Princess Jingning was stunned. “Me?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Princess, don’t you think that the palace maid who was bitten by a poisonous snake today is very suspicious? Why did she appear near the imperial garden with a poisonous snake?”

Princess Jingning pondered and said, “Do you suspect that she came for me?”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t deny it. “Xiaohu just happened to disrupt her plan.”

The two of them thought of the White Lotus Society at the same time.

Princess Jingning said, “The last time someone poisoned me, my mother accidentally ate it. After that, my mother investigated the harem strictly. She investigated all the suspicious people. I didn’t expect there to be anyone who escaped.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The fact that the White Lotus Society can take root here in the harem can’t be done by those disciples outside.”

Princess Jingning frowned slightly. “You mean… someone from the royal family is helping the White Lotus Society?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “This person’s status is not low. Princess, please be careful next.”

“Hey! What are the two of you doing!”

Princess Hui An came over aggressively.

Although Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was more appropriate to describe it as imposing.

She clearly had a palm-sized willow waist, but she had big breasts and a perky butt. She was definitely a stunner.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her. Why did she have the feeling that she was here to catch them in the act?

Princess Hui An stood in front of the two of them with her hands on her hips. “What did you two say behind my back!”

Princess Jingning said calmly, “Do I have to tell you what we said?”
