Wei Jingnan had been paying close attention to Xiao Qingqian's every move. Seeing that he had suddenly become stiff, and that the expression in his eyes had become stiff, he recalled the little short note that Wei Qing had Prime Minister Wei pass down to him when he had just arrived in the capital.
He anxiously used his Qi to seal Xiao Qingqian's acupoints while Xiao Qingqian was still not completely controlled by the subGu.
Because all of his focus was on Xiao Qingqian, Xiao Hanqi took the opportunity to slip away.
By the time the others rushed over, Xiao Hanqi had already escaped without a trace.
The empress dowager returned safely. Although she was frightened and had some superficial wounds, she did not cause any harm to her body.
Old Emperor had heard of subGu being able to control other people's minds, so he didn't scold Xiao Qingqian too much.
However, there were many unfavorable rumors in the imperial court.
Some said that the Prime Minister Wei was a spy sent by the Xie Jing to the Northern Kingdom, and his son, Wei Jingnan, had deliberately let them win. Otherwise, how could he let the heavily injured Xiao Hanqi escape?
It was also said that the empress dowager had imprisoned the Old Emperor and it was Xiao Hanqi who had attacked the palace, allowing the Old Emperor to escape from the empress dowager's control.
All of a sudden, within the capital, there was no one who did not know of the secrets of these palaces.
Wei Jingnan finally returned home. Although he could not stay here for long, he had to properly accompany Prime Minister Wei for a reunion dinner.
"Father, don't mind the rumors." After giving the Prime Minister Wei a toast, Wei Jingnan advised.
Prime Minister Wei's expression was rather relaxed, "Jing Nan, all these years, I have never seen such a big storm, do you think this small storm can do anything to me?"
It was definitely Xiao Hanqi who failed to force the Palace into submission. Long Xiaotian wanted to set up a good image for him, and intentionally ordered people to spread the news.
"Father, your son will be leaving for the Frontier Trial soon. I can't stay by your side to fulfill my filial piety!" When Wei Jingnan said till here, his eyes became moist.
The Prime Minister Wei patted his shoulder, "Although Chen Yang is watching us at the border, my heart is still not at peace. Long Xiaotian is born cunning, you must be careful on your way back to the Fringe Region. "
Wei Jingnan nodded, "Father, don't worry."
The butler came to inform them that Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian had arrived.
Immediately, a smile surfaced between the eyes of Prime Minister Wei and Wei Jingnan, the two of them stood up almost at the same time and went to welcome him.
Wei Qing pursed her lips, "Now that father has a big brother, he started to be biased!"
"Of course not!" Prime Minister Wei glared at her.
"You still say that?" Wei Qing pointed to the dishes on the table, "Look, even the chopsticks have moved!"
Wei Jingnan and Prime Minister Wei looked at each other, the two of them shrugged, and Prime Minister Wei said: "Didn't you say that you were unsure if you could come over? Your big brother is in a hurry to go back to the border. "
"Good, good, good. You have reason!" Wei Qing sat down, picked up her chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of spicy hot food and started eating.
Prime Minister Wei looked at her in shock, "Qing`er, have you been feeling unwell recently?"
Wei Qing blinked her eyes. Recently, she had been helping the Old Emperor cure the poison in the secret room.
Seeing that Xiao Qingqian did not have any reaction, Prime Minister Wei swallowed all of the words that were about to leave his mouth.
Wei Qing poured wine into her cup and was about to toast Wei Jingnan, but was stopped by the Prime Minister Wei, who said that Wei Jingnan still had the chance to return to the border.
His weird actions naturally made Wei Qing suspicious.
After giving Prime Minister Wei a meaningful glance, the two of them went outside.
"Father, what did you just say?" Wei Qing turned her head and looked at Xiao Qingqian and Xiao Qingqian who were drinking together, staring angrily at Prime Minister Wei.
"For your own good!" Prime Minister Wei poked Wei Qing's forehead lovingly.
"For my own good?" Wei Qing carefully thought back to the three words, and then she remembered that when she had just sat down, she had taken a sour and spicy bite, and was actually unable to hold back her laughter.
"What's wrong?" Prime Minister Wei was afraid that Wei Qing would do something bad.
Wei Qing checked her pulse, "Father, I am not a wedding vein, I just suddenly feel like eating something sour."
Prime Minister Wei shook his head, "Forget it, what do you mean by 'whatever'?"
On the table, Xiao Qingqian said, "Fortunately it was Wei General that night."
Wei Jingnan smiled faintly, "Prince Chu is unimpressed with what you have just said. Prince Chu and this lowly general both love and love Qing'er the most, helping Prince Chu is equivalent to helping Qing'er!"
These words were sincere!
Xiao Qingqian clinked his wine cup with him again, the two of them looked at each other and laughed as they drank.
Wei Qing rushed over and filled his cup with wine as she clinked it with the two of them and drank.
Seeing that Prime Minister Wei did not stop Wei Qing from drinking, Xiao Qingqian quickly realized something.
After sending Wei Jingnan off, Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian returned to the Prince Chu’s Mansion.
After separating for so long, when Die'er saw Wei Qing, she was so excited that her eyes filled with tears. Chen Cheng rubbed his forehead helplessly, and helped her wipe her tears.
"Don't cry anymore, you're crying like a little white rabbit!"
Die'er gouged out Chen Cheng with her eyes, "Who cares?"
Xiao Qingqian and Wei Qing went to bath room together, and Wei Qing hugged Xiao Qingqian tightly, "I missed you!"
"Qing`er." These past few days, Xiao Qingqian had also suffered greatly. He raised his hand, and gently patted her back, "Did Prime Minister Wei misunderstand that you have a marriage meridian just now?"
Wei Qing thought about it and laughed, "You guessed it already?"
Xiao Qingqian pressed his forehead close to hers, "It's so obvious, how could I not have guessed it?"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Wei Qing was worried that Xiao Qingqian would pester her to talk about having children, and changed the topic.
Xiao Qingqian looked at her deeply as he helped her undress and the two of them entered the bathing pool together.
"Have you found a way to remove the subGu?"
"The Lady Boss gave me the secret manual to raising Gu, but the one to remove the Gu didn't mention much. However, last time, the four things that Long Xiaotian gave us were indeed good medicines to remove the Gu, he did not lie. " Wei Qing leaned into his embrace, holding onto the water, and watched the water droplets slide down her fair arm.
If it was in the past, Xiao Qingqian would definitely not be this honest, especially when Wei Qing's actions of playing tricks on others. Naturally, he was too clear about the power of subGu.
Wei Qing saw that he did not react at all, frowning, she stared at him for a good while, "Are you worried about the subGu?"
Xiao Qingqian gasped: "How can I not be worried?"
He had already completely lost all reason because of the subGu twice, and he was not sure if Long Xiaotian was controlling his consciousness through the mother Gu or not. If he recklessly killed Long Xiaotian, even he would not have a good end.
Although he didn't say these words out loud.
However, Wei Qing still guessed the gist of it.
"Just in case, Long Xiaotian can't move right now."
She looked at the Gu raising secret manual, and saw that it mentioned a parasitic Gu. This kind of subGu was not born from a subGu, but was born from another mother Gu, and was living in a subGu's body.
If it was really this kind of Gu worm, then the situation was truly more troublesome.
