Even in her dreams, Bai Xihe did not expect that the cla.s.smate Su Cheng mentioned was Princess Jingning.

After all, who would refer to a princess like that?

Princess Jinging never expected to see the Grand Empress Dowager here.

After all, which dynasty’s Empress Dowager would leave the palace privately? She even appeared at her cla.s.smate’s house!

She was really not mentally prepared at all!

“Aunt Bai, why aren’t you combing?”

In order to play with the beautiful aunt, Erhu actually pulled out the bun Su Cheng had tied for him and asked Bai Xihe to tie it again. Princess Jingning’s delicate body trembled. Aunt Bai?

“Fairy Sister!”

After doing the horse stance, Dahu recognized Princess Jingning and ran toward her.

Bai Xihe was also shocked. Fairy Sister?

The sky above the two of them was no longer a bolt from the blue. It was filled with rumbling thunder, and lightning.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over with a spatula and looked at the dumbfounded Princess Jingning, then at the frozen Grand Empress Dowager. She thought to herself that it was over.

This was the scene of a large-scale demolition.

However… what was with Dahu calling Princess Jingning a Fairy Sister?

Fifteen minutes later, the three of them sat in the study of the second courtyard.

Before entering, Su Xiaoxiao had already successfully learned from the three little ones that they had scammed Qin Yun and the others.

Su Xiaoxiao solemnly thanked Princess Jingning for upholding justice.

Princess Jingning’s heart could be said to be in turmoil again and again. The three children were actually adopted sons of the little girl’s family. This was really—

Indeed, compared to tne appearance ot tne Grand Empress Dowager at someone’s house, her chance encounter with the three little children was not too surprising.

“Grand Empress Dowager, why did you leave the palace incognito?”

There were some things that Su Xiaoxiao didn’t ask, but that didn’t mean that Princess Jingning wouldn’t ask either.

This concerned the royal family, so she had to understand it clearly.

“I… will leave for a while?” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“No need,” Bai Xihe said.

She returned to her cold demeanor in the palace and said calmly, “My brother secretly returned to the capital. I left the palace to see him, but it was too late and I couldn’t go back.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know much about Bai Xihe. She hadn’t heard that she had a younger brother. She only knew that her family had fallen. Her parents had pa.s.sed away early and had joined her distant relative, the Guo family.

It was Princess Lingxi’s house.

Princess Jingning continued, “May I ask why you’re here?”

Bai Xihe said, “I sprained my ankle and happened to b.u.mp into Physician Su.”

Su Xiaoxiao had met Bai Xihe twice in the palace. The first time was in the garden when Su Xiaoxiao killed the poisonous snake that ambushed Bai Xihe.

The second time was near the Bright Moon Pavilion. Bai Xihe dealt with Lin Ruyue, who had an argument with Su Xiaoxiao.

Princess Jing Ning looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Is that so?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s indeed like this.”

Bai Xihe relaxed slightly.

“I’ll send you back to the palace,” Princess Jingning said.

Bai Xihe nodded slowly.

In the courtyard, Erhu asked, “Aunt Bai, Sister Fairy, are you leaving?”

The three little ones only expressed their reluctance.

She had clearly just arrived and had not played for long.

Bai Xihe stretched out her hand, wanting to pat Erhu’s head. Just as she reached into the air, she saw Princess Jingning’s gaze from the corner of her eye and calmly retracted her hand. Erhu asked, “Aunt Bai?”

Bai Xihe left.

Xiaohu and Dahu were also at a loss. They didn’t understand why Aunt Bai, who had been playing with them just now, suddenly became so strange.

Princess Jingning said to the three of them, “Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, I’ll visit you another day.”

The three little ones looked at her reluctantly.

Princess Jingning bent down and touched the three little heads one by one. “I’ll invite you to my house another day, okay?”

The three little ones nodded cutely. “Okay!”

Xiaohu stretched out his little finger. “Pinky promise!”

Princess Jingning smiled and made a pinky promise with him, Dahu, and Erhu.

The two of them arrived at Princess Jingning’s carriage. Princess Jing Ning gestured. “Please.”

Bai Xihe got into the carriage with a cold expression.

Princess Jingning also sat up

Princess Jingning’s carriage did not need to be checked. It went straight into the palace.

About half an hour later, her carriage came out again and slowly turned into East Street before stopping beside another carriage.

“Come on up.”

She pushed open the carriage window and said.

In that carriage, Su Xiaoxiao got out and smiled at her before getting into her carriage.

“I knew you would follow me,” Princess Jingning said calmly.

Su Xiaoxiao handed her a box of steaming snacks. “You didn’t eat much at my house just now. I specially made it for you.”

Hearing that it was specially made for her, Princess Jingning’s ugly expression finally improved.

She took the snack, took a piece, and tasted it gently.

It was a pancake filled with taro mashed with potatoes. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The texture was thick and sweet, but not greasy. It was a taste that Princess Jingning liked.

“You seem to be very concerned about the Grand Empress Dowager.” Princess Jingning suddenly spoke.

“Ah, no,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “I came because I was worried about you. I was afraid that this matter would implicate you.”

Her expression was sincere.

Princess Jingning enjoyed it. She put down her snacks and said to her, “It’s not like I brought the Grand Empress Dowager out of the palace. It won’t implicate me.”

“That’s good.” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t ask further.

Princess Jingning said, “Don’t worry. I didn’t let anyone find out that she left the palace incognito. I’ll keep her secret.”

It was not for the Grand Empress Dowager, but because she did not want to implicate this little girl.

Su Cheng had just won the compet.i.tion and obtained military power. He was already at the center of the storm. At this moment, he might give others something to use against him for colluding with the Grand Empress Dowager. Who knew what trouble it would cause?

It was impossible for Su Xiaoxiao not to feel Princess Jingning’s kindness.

She had given 30% of her regard to her, but she had paid 100% in return.

She was ashamed.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “There’s something I’m curious about.”

Princess Jingning said, “You mean the younger brother of the Grand Empress

Dowager.”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

“There’s nothing I can’t tell you,” Princess Jingning said. “The Grand Empress Dowager has a younger brother. After her parents pa.s.sed away, her younger brother was adopted and she had nowhere to go. The rumors outside say that she came to the capital to seek refuge with the Guo family, but that’s not the case. She’s not distantly related to the Guo family. Otherwise, there’s no reason for the Guo family to only take her in and not her younger brother.”

Su Xiaoxiao listened attentively.

Princess Jingning continued, “Back then, Prime Minister Guo went to a place to investigate a tax silver case and met the Grand Empress Dowager who sold herself to bury her father. Minister Guo bought her back. He originally wanted her to be ordered around as a maidservant, but Bai Xihe became more and more outstanding and was calculated to have an extremely elite birth date. Therefore, the Guo family adopted her as a girl in their residence and announced to the public that she was a distant relative.”

“As for her brother… after he heard that his sister became the Grand Empress Dowager, the entire family rushed over to join her. The Guo family treated that family politely at first, but later on, they gradually realized that that family was causing trouble everywhere in the name of the Grand Empress Dowager. Her brother even s.n.a.t.c.hed a commoner’s daughter and killed someone. The Guo family ran around everywhere trying to resolve the issue. Although the death penalty is exempted, he couldn’t escape punishment. Her brother was exiled. Returning to the capital without permission is a capital crime.”

Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. “I see.”

From the looks of it, Bai Xihe had left the palace previously to see her brother.

The Guo family knew about this.

Princess Jingning reminded, “If you encounter such a thing again in the future, don’t fight it alone, and you’re not allowed to take her in again. She’s a big problem!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “There’s a story?”

Realizing that she had misspoken, an awkward expression flashed across Princess Jingning’s face.

However, if she did not explain the matter clearly, with this little girl’s fearless personality, she would not realize the seriousness of the problem.

She hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind and revealing the secrets of the royal family. “A beauty like Bai Xihe was born to marry into an emperor’s family because only an emperor’s family can protect such beauty. Unfortunately, even an emperor can’t protect Bai Xihe’s beauty.”

This story… was getting more and more exciting…

Princess Jingning asked with a solemn expression, “Do you know why King Nanyang rebelled back then?”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Don’t tell me it’s for Bai Xihe?”

Princess Jing Ning said, “It was for her.”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Wait, this gossip is a little big. Let me digest it.’

a.s.suming that Princess Jingning’s information was accurate and that King Nanyang had indeed rebelled for Bai Xihe, what was Bai Xihe’s att.i.tude towards King Nanyang?

In terms of status, there was an insurmountable gap between the two of them.

If they really wanted to be together without hesitation, it would probably be even harder than usurping the throne.

Su Xiaoxiao thought of the happy pulse that Imperial Physician Fu had diagnosed in Zhaoyang Hall back then.

Whose pulse was it?

Was it the Grand Empress Dowager’s?

If it was the Grand Empress Dowager’s, who was the man who made her secretly get pregnant?

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, “Princess, forgive me for asking, but does your father have feelings for the Grand Empress Dowager?”
