Chapter 1348: Mutual Trap, Killing Xiahou Yi (2)
Editor: Atlas Studios
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao said, “Phoenix birds aren’t afraid of the cold. They’re afraid of the heat.”
“Huh?”
Steward Chang was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao entered the house and carried out the two phoenix birds whose eyes were white from the heat. She placed them in the cold wind.
After blowing for a moment, the dying birds finally recovered.
The two birds seemed to have finally seen their family. They flapped their wings and pounced at Su Xiaoxiao, chirping aggrievedly around her feet.
Uh… wasn’t this the cry of the Wuhu?
Don’t be led astray by that traitor!
Su Xiaoxiao squatted down and touched the two phoenix birds. “Alright, alright, it’s not hot anymore. It won’t be hot in the future. I brought you phoenix gra.s.s. Eat it quickly.”
She took the phoenix gra.s.s out of the basket.
Despite the name, phoenix gra.s.s was actually a sprout of a plant. Phoenix birds loved to eat it.
Seeing that the phoenix birds was really eating, Steward Chang was dumbfounded. “It’s really… it’s just hot…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “They also eat grains and some flower seeds, but they are particular about what they drink. They only drink morning dew.”
Steward Chang noted it down carefully.
After Su Xiaoxiao fed the phoenix birds, she went to Xiahou Qing with Xie Jinnian to report.
Xiahou Qing had already finished dealing with his official business and was comparing the half of the real treasure map with the fake treasure map that Lou Bufan had given him.
“City Lord, Second Young Master and the Second Young Madam of the Flower Palace request an audience.”
The guard reported.
Xiahou Qing nodded, folded the treasure map, and placed it into the brocade box beside him.
The two of them entered.
Su Xiaoxiao told Xiahou Qing about the situation with the phoenixes and told the City Lord not to worry. As long as they were fed strictly according to her instructions, he would definitely be able to raise the two phoenixes until they were fat.
—The feathers of an adult phoenix are colorful.
Xiahou Qing was relieved and was about to ask about Ling Yun’s situation.
Suddenly, Xie Jinnian said, “What did you say? There’s a strange smell in the box?”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Head Eunuch, what are you doing?
When did I speak?
Xie Jinnian pointed at the brocade box on the table and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Is this the box? Why can’t I smell it? Yes, Yun Lin mentioned to me that your sense of smell is different from ordinary people.”
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched.
What had he mentioned to you?
“Foster father.” Xie Jinnian looked at Xiahou Qing worriedly.
A trace of suspicion flashed across Xiahou Qing’s eyes, but after thinking about it, she was not an outsider. She had repaired his relationship with his son many times, so he asked Xie Jinnian to bring the brocade box over for her to see.
Xie Jinnian brought the brocade box over and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao. “Smell it carefully.”
Su Xiaoxiao glared at him.
Xie Jinnian had his back facing Xiahou Qing. His expression was calm, but his tone was extremely surprised. “What did you say… You… You…”
Su Xiaoxiao: “I didn’t say a word!”
I’ll watch you act. Continue acting!
Xiahou Qing asked, “Xiaoxiao, what did you discover?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xie Jinnian coldly. “That’s right, Second Young Master. What did I discover?”
Xie Jinnian turned around with a complicated expression. “Foster Father, don’t blame Second Young Madam. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t dare to say it.”
Xiahou Qing said, “Go ahead.”
Xie Jinnian said, “Second Young Madam said that… on this half of the sheepskin scroll in the box… there’s the smell of medicine in Great Uncle’s room… It’s very faint… but she can smell it… and she won’t be wrong…”
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth curled up.
d.a.m.n it!
Not only did you scam me on the way, but you also continued to sabotage me after entering the residence!
Xiahou Yi had just sent someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate him when his counterattack was arranged.
He even dragged her into it!
Xiahou Qing frowned. “Xiaoxiao, are you serious?”
If the treasure map had the smell of medicine from his uncle’s room, it meant that the treasure map had once been placed with his uncle for a long time. Otherwise, it would not have been tainted with the smell of medicine.
Could it be—
No, that was his uncle!
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao purse her lips in silence, Xiahou Qing said solemnly, “Xiaoxiao, this half of the sheepskin scroll is not an ordinary map. Its importance exceeds your imagination. Think carefully. Does it really… smell like the medicine in Granduncle’s room?”
These words seemed to be emphasizing the importance of the treasure map, but they were actually warning Su Xiaoxiao not to slander Xiahou Yi casually.
Xiahou Zheng was his adopted son, but Xiahou Yi was his biological uncle and was related to him by blood.
Moreover, when he was young, he was taken care of by Xiahou Yi.
He had always treated Xiahou Yi as his biological father.
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated.
Xiahou Qing said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? It’s fine if you were mistaken. We’re all on the same side. I won’t blame you.”
Enough was enough. If he corrected her in time, he could forgive her this time on account of Yun Lin.
Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said with difficulty, “I… I can tell the truth, but the City Lord has to promise me that no matter what I say, you won’t kill me or punish me. Only then would I dare to say it.”
Xiahou Qing said seriously, “If you’re not guilty, I naturally won’t punish you. If you deliberately frame someone, I won’t let you off easily.”
Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes. “Alright, alright, I’ll say it! I did smell a little, but I wasn’t sure. The reason why I… dared to suspect Second Master… was because Second Master told me on the way here that his subordinates saw the fourth dragon crystal in Second Grandmaster’s room.”
Xiahou Qing looked at Xie Jinnian.
Xie Jinnian’s eyelids twitched.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.
Come on, let’s attack each other!
“Is this true?”
Xiahou Qing clenched his fists and looked at Xie Jinnian.
Su Xiaoxiao asked weakly, “City Lord, should I leave and wait for you outside?”
Xiahou Qing agreed.
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and stopped when she brushed past Xie Jinnian. She raised her eyebrows and whispered,
“Eunuch Jin, I advise you to quickly put the dragon crystal in Xiahou Yi’s courtyard and confirm the framing. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the City Lord won’t be able to find it and you’ll be in trouble.
“Ah, right, it seems that you’ve run out of bird food.”
“Ruyi loves you!”
