Needless to say, Xiao Ting could also tell that Xiao Zhan knew everything, knew everything, and didn't want her to get involved, so now he wants to drive her away, but...
"It's late, some people already know that I'm back, I'm afraid they will come to Xiao's mansion to look for someone in a short time."
"You, who brought you back?" Xiao Zhan turned around anxiously, and felt that this good girl was a little troublesome for the first time.
It's not that it's troublesome, it's just a mobile troublemaker.
"Anyway, it's not Li Mo, and you don't know him even after he said it. If you see Chu Li, tell him and let him come to see me."
Xiao Ting got up and patted the wrinkled clothes on her body.
"I go first!"
"Where are you going? You came back so secretly, I'm afraid you didn't bring anyone with you, so you can stay in the mansion, Lanyue Courtyard, and Dad will send someone to clean it up for you."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhan was about to leave.
But was stopped by Xiao Ting.
"My dear daddy, no one in the Xiao family welcomes me except you. I don't want to stay to block their eyes. Of course, the most important thing is that there is really no one pleasing to the eye except daddy. Why do you let your daughter stay?"
Sure enough, as Xiao Ting expected, she had just walked out of the gate of Xiao's house when she was stopped by someone.
But when she saw the person coming, Xiao Ting's eyes bent.
"Oh, long time no see Commander Xu, are you married? How old is the child?"
When Xu Wei heard that they saw Xiao Ting, she rushed to the inn, but unfortunately she was a step too late. After many inquiries, she found out that she had returned to Xiao's residence.
I planned to talk to her about something, but I didn't expect to be teased by Xiao Ting as soon as we met.
Fortunately, the person is still the same person.
"Where is the princess going now?"
He was the only one who came, Xiao Ting glanced back, many people had spotted her, she happily ran to Xu Wei and asked.
"The women here didn't like me and kicked me out. Do you want to take me in?"
"Oh, you haven't answered me yet. Are you married? You're going to get married. I'm really embarrassed to bother you. "
Looking at Xiao Ting's hopeful, flirtatious eyes, Xu Wei felt very helpless. This girl hadn't seen her for two years, how could she still have this personality
"No." Xu Wei dropped these two words coldly, and asked Xiao Ting to go with him.
"Let's go with you, let's forget about it, they should ask you for someone later."
Xiao Ting yawned a little, and invited Xu Wei and her to have a casual meal at the noodle stall opposite.
Halfway through eating the noodles, Xiao Ting put down her chopsticks again, still struggling with that question.
"Hey, hey, why are you not married yet? You are so old, does your mother care about you?"
Xu Wei was going crazy, he was out of his mind, that's why he rushed here after hearing about Xiao Ting's news.
I'm afraid that someone will target her.
But women don't have this self-awareness at all, and they still sit swaggeringly on the street.
Discussing with him about getting married is simply...
act recklessly!
Pissed him off.
"Snapped!"
Xu Wei slapped the chopsticks on the table heavily, and looked at Xiao Ting seriously.
"Do you know how many people want to arrest you in this imperial city?"
"What do you want me to do? Did I inherit a huge fortune?"
Xiao Ting asked indifferently.
Looking at her innocent eyes, Xu Wei really didn't know how to explain this matter.
At the beginning, the intersection between him and Xiao Ting only existed in the handling of the dead body.
He admires Xiao Ting.
However, this woman has been so heartless for the past few years, and she has not improved at all. What is going on now, Xu Wei feels that she has no consciousness at all.
"Recently, a rumor has spread into the imperial city, saying that the Ninth Prince has obtained the imperial seal of the Celestial Dynasty, but has not handed it over to any ruler of the current five kingdoms and ten places."
"Guoxi, what is this?"
Knowing that Xiao Ting would have such an expression, Xu Wei felt that he was really talking to a duck.
He showed a rare impatient look, and said earnestly, "Ninth Princess, you don't need to know what the Imperial Seal is, and you don't need to know what happened. You just need to know that many people want to arrest you now, and you are very dangerous. That's fine."
"Nani?"
Xiao Ting got up and hid behind the table, making a very exaggerated expression, looking around secretly.
"You say I'm dangerous, so why don't you protect me?"
Xu Wei, "...", how did such a crazy woman grow up
"You follow me out of here first!"
He glanced at the door of Xiao's house opposite, but he didn't see the legendary Xiao Zhan who loved his daughter like a devil.
"Okay, take me back to the inn where I live!"
Xu Wei didn't stay for long, and left beforehand, but left behind many cronies.
Xiao Ting entered the room and closed the door.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Qian Kai who had disappeared all night sitting there.
"You shouldn't walk around and let people know where you are."
Xiao Ting only glanced at him, then sat down beside him and poured herself a cup of tea, which was still cold.
But she didn't dislike it either, she took a sip to moisten her throat, and then looked at Qianbai.
"Are you talking about me or yourself? Where were you last night?"
Chiba didn't answer her.
Xiao Ting felt that something was wrong.
"What's the matter with you? Did something happen?" His eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry, but also some hidden worries and worries.
Xiao Ting waved her hand, trying not to think about those complicated things in her mind, now that Xiao Xin is not safe, this is the best news for her, she doesn't care about other things.
"Didn't you hear that it was very lively here this morning? Someone assassinated the prince who passed over?"
"You know the assassin." Qian Kai only took one look at Xiao Ting, and then he understood the stakes.
Xiao Ting put her hand into the teacup, dipped some tea, tapped it on the table, and wrote something softly, ignoring Qian Miao's question.
Neither admit nor deny.
"Okay, I won't ask you about this matter, why do you walk with people from the government?"
They came all the way, and no one in the imperial city noticed that Xiao Ting's actions exposed her whereabouts in an instant, which was very unfavorable for future actions.
Xiao Ting suddenly looked up at him.
He asked with a half-smile, "You don't let me show up, you don't let me have contact with the outside world, are you afraid that I will know about the Ninth Prince?"
"What are you talking about? You don't trust me?"
Xiao Ting didn't look at him again, and flicked the water drops between her fingers.
"If I don't trust you, I won't follow you back to the Imperial City from Li City, but you have to understand that this chess piece of mine has never played cards according to common sense. If you want to use me, don't end up hurting the enemy by eight hundred and yourself by one thousand."
"Don't rush to deny it. I've heard about it. The news that Chu Li brought Guoxi back to the empire has already spread. You didn't ask me to come to the imperial city to save Chu Li. I think you want to force him out."
Chiba was speechless.
"If you believe me, you should understand that I intend to help you from the beginning."
"From the beginning, it means that you changed your mind midway. Well, since you say I believe it, from now on, are you going to stand on the opposite side of me, or should we start talking about cooperation again?"
Xiao Ting spread her hands, not at all frustrated by being used and betrayed.
"Cooperation?" Qian Miao couldn't understand Xiao Ting any more.
"Yes, cooperation, what do you want? You put it out first."
"Actually I do..."
Qian Kai wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Xiao Ting.
"I don't care about reasons, I only care about results."
"Okay, let's not talk so much nonsense now, there should be a lot of people coming over later, and I have to deal with those people, you, let's be friends, let's have a good time!"
"What exactly do you want?"
Qian Kai looked at Xiao Ting with complicated eyes, he knew that Xiao Ting regarded him as a friend before, but from now on, they are no longer friends.
"I want Chu Li. If this matter is resolved, I want him to return to the clan with me."
"With his physique, won't you be afraid of being exterminated if you bring him back?" Xiao Ting sneered.
"It should not be a level that you can touch. Someone told you something. You want to take him back to study..."
Xiao Ting saw through his plan at a glance.
"You don't need to worry about it so much. If you agree, we will send our family with you this time."
Although Qian Miao was shocked in his heart, he maintained his usual wantonness on his face.
"The thing that can make spiritual warlocks so vigilant is witchcraft. Oh, by the way, we met this kind of person last year, which means that the witch clan was also born."
Xiao Ting opened her mouth innocently, revealing the worries in Qian Kai's heart.
Let him know what to do.
"We follow the precepts of our ancestors and will never participate in worldly affairs, but this time we have to do so."
"I believe you on this point, but no matter who tells you, you should be careful about him. I know Chu Li's physique best. He hasn't changed anything, and he won't harm anyone.
As for the grievances between you and the Wu Clan, that is your own business. If Chu Li is involved, don't blame me for not reminding you, it is not certain whose disaster will be at that time! "
Xiao Ting said a lot of words in one breath, but the meaning was that she agreed to Qian Bai's request.
The two talked for another quarter of an hour. It was someone knocking on the door outside, calling for the Ninth Princess.
Xiao Ting clapped her hands and stood up.
"You do what you want, I'll go and have a look."
People came from the palace, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager announced her into the palace successively.
One naturally wanted to see Xiao Ting in the name of caring for the younger generation, and the other was similar.
Xiao Ting flicked her sleeves, didn't even change her clothes, and followed them out.
Arranged according to the degree of honor, Xiao Ting should also go to see the Empress Dowager first, and she did the same. Anyway, except for her aunt, she didn't want to see any of the women in the palace, and she didn't want to see them.
As for whom to offend, anyway, she has already offended everyone here, and she is not afraid to offend again.
Xiao Ting walked into the hall without looking sideways, arched her hands, and shouted, "Xiao Ting has seen the empress... the empress?"
Following the slender figure that came out from behind the screen, Xiao Ting's voice became lower and lower, until finally there was still a question mark in her heart.
Did she call the wrong person or go to the wrong place
"Presumptuous, why are you so dazed when you see the Empress Dowager and still kneel down to pay homage?"
