Chapter 440: Counterattack

Eunuch Fu glared at Eunuch Quan. He really did not like his nonsense.

Emperor Jing Xuan already had a grudge against Su Cheng and his daughter. Now that Princess Hui An was missing and Su Daya was suspected of committing a crime, Eunuch Quan’s words hit the nail on the head.

He immediately summoned Qin Canglan into the palace.

“Daya would never do such a thing! Kidnap the princess? If my precious granddaughter doesn’t like anyone, she would beat them up on the spot. Why would she need to kidnap them secretly? Isn’t this taking off her pants and farting? It’s unnecessary!”

Qin Canglan definitely believed in his granddaughter. Why would she kidnap her? She would just beat her up!

Emperor Jing Xuan was so angry that he fell back.

What did he mean by beating up whoever she disliked on the spot?

Hui An was his daughter and the princess of a country. Yet in Qin Canglan’s opinion, she could beat her up if she wanted to.

Emperor Jing Xuan was numb from being angered by Wei Ting. Before the dizziness passed, he was choked by Qin Canglan and was really about to vomit blood.

Consort Xian had also heard about Hui An’s disappearance and came to the Imperial Study in tears.

Her tears this time were real.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty, you have to quickly replace Hui An…”

“I will. My beloved, go back to the palace first.”

Consort Xian lay in Emperor Jing Xuan’s arms and cried until she was out of breath. “Your Majesty… I heard… Did Su Daya do it?”

Emperor Jing Xuan opened his mouth. “This…”

Qin Canglan said, “Hmph, Your Highness, be careful with your words! I also feel sad for Your Highness that Princess Hui An is missing, but what has this got to do with my granddaughter?”

Consort Xian said, “Hui An quarreled with her and disappeared!”

Qin Canglan chuckled and said, “I heard that that little eunuch has also disappeared. He might have kidnapped the princess! Consort Xian, there’s a traitor beside you. Instead of reflecting on your mistake, you pushed the blame to someone else. Doing this can only make you miss the right clues and make Princess Hui An get further and further away!”

Consort Xian’s expression changed. “You…”

To a mother who had lost her child, Qin Canglan’s words were undoubtedly heartbreaking.

However, he was definitely not deliberately talking fast. He had come to this conclusion after careful analysis.

“What do you mean?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked.

In terms of military power, Emperor Jing Xuan was indeed a little unhappy with Qin Canglan, but there was no doubt about the Qin Canglan’s ability.

Qin Canglan said seriously, “Your Majesty, Princess Hui An has a total of two palace servants. Why is Tao Hong the only one who hasn’t disappeared? If the target is the princess, only the princess will be kidnapped. There is no need to kidnap another eunuch.”

Consort Xian said in a daze, “Perhaps… they want to leave someone to serve Hui An?”

Qin Canglan said calmly, “Consort Xian, the other party has already committed kidnapping. Do you expect them to care if there’s anyone serving Princess Hui An?”

Consort Xian choked.

Qin Canglan cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, I dare to guess that

Princess Hui An was abducted by that little eunuch!”

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Qin Canglan steadily. “Although that’s the case, it still can’t wash away the suspicion of your granddaughter. Find Hui An. Otherwise, I will punish her for hurting a princess!”

Emperor Jing Xuan did not want to publicize Princess Hui An’s disappearance, but the news still spread.

Soon, it spread through the streets, alleys, and various teahouses.

“Have you heard? Something happened to Princess Hui An! She was kidnapped by the eldest daughter of the Qin family!”

“Why did she kidnap Princess Hui An?”

“Princess Hui An liked Lord Wei and originally wanted to recruit Lord Wei as her son-in-law. Who would have thought that His Majesty would arrange a marriage for Lord Wei and Miss Qin? The princess ran to replace trouble with Miss Qin in a fit of anger. Who knew that Miss Qin was not a good person and actually captured the princess on the spot!”

“Nonsense!”

A middle-aged man walked over and stopped everyone in the teahouse from talking.

The storyteller looked at him unhappily. “Who are you?”

Manager Sun waved the folding fan in his hand. “I’m your uncle!”

Su MO and Su Xiaoxiao went to the Dali Temple and handed the fragment of the rolling pin and the poisonous needle hidden inside to Xiao Zhonghua and the minister.

Xiao Zhonghua said with a serious expression, “That little eunuch is called Little Zhuozi. He arrived at Qi Xiang Palace two years ago. He can speak and is smart. Hui An likes him.”

Su MO said, “A little eunuch doesn’t have the guts to do anything to the princess. There must be someone behind him.”

“Could it be… related to the White Lotus Society?” the minister asked.

Recently, they had been investigating the White Lotus Society’s case. However, ever since they found out that the victims in the cellar were believers of the White Lotus Society, there were no new clues.

The minister of the Dali Temple was about to go numb. Now, everyone looked like they belonged to the White Lotus Society.

Xiao Zhonghua frowned. If it was really the White Lotus Society, it meant that the White Lotus Society had already developed their power into the palace.

Su MO said seriously, “Hurry up and replace Princess Hui An and clear my sister’s name.”

Xiao Zhonghua and the minister of the Dali Temple hurriedly brought people to search. The Imperial Capital and the imperial guards were also mobilized.

Su MO said to Su Xiaoxiao, “I’ll send you back first.” The two of them got into the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do you think it was that mole?”

Su MO pondered and said, “I’m not sure yet. I don’t think the mole will be so impatient to attack you on the first day of your bethrothal to Wei Ting.

However…”

Su Xiaoxiao finished for him. “But if Princess Hui An happens to come looking for trouble with me, this will be a godsend opportunity to deal with me.”

To put it bluntly, the mole might have wanted to take it slow, but who could resist taking a bite of the fat meat that came knocking on their door?

Princess Hui An disrupted the mole’s rhythm and lured him to attack Su Xiaoxiao in advance.

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “Looks like I was his first target. That’s right. I look easier to deal with.”

Compared to Wei Ting, Qin Canglan, and Matriarch Wei, she seemed to be more like a pushover who was easy to bully.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly.

In order to wash away the dirt on Su Xiaoxiao as soon as possible, Su MO also went to look for Princess Hui An.

Just as he left, Su Xiaoxiao walked out. “Dad, let me ride your horse!”

“Slow down! This horse is very fast!”

Su Cheng shouted outside the house as he washed the three little ones’ hair.

Su Xiaoxiao got on the horse.

Phew, Master Wei had taught her well.

She casually took out a map of the capital.

“Princess Hui An took this path back to the palace. She disappeared here.”

After memorizing the route, Su Xiaoxiao put the map away.

She rode her horse to the location of Princess Hui An’s incident.

This place had already been investigated by the officials. There was nothing left.

As Su Xiaoxiao rode on the horse, the moonlight lengthened her shadow.

Her face was hidden in the dark, but her eyes were cold.

“Come out.”

She said calmly.

No one appeared.

She spurred her horse a few steps into the alley.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao looked up.

A huge net fell from the sky
