Princess Hui’an sniffled pitifully and said, “Xichao gege has returned to the capital… I just saw him in the palace… but he still hasn’t left the monastic life!”   

*gege : Older brother

In her mind, this was entirely her father’s fault, he must have forbidden Wei Ting from returning to secular life. 

She couldn’t bear to blame Wei Ting, so the blame naturally fell on the Emperor. 

Consort Xian relaxed upon hearing that. “Oh, is that all?”

Princess Hui’an sat up straight, looking at her mother with wounded eyes. “Isn’t this important?” 

Consort Xian smiled perfunctorily and said, “Of course it’s important. When your Imperial Father comes later, I’ll plead with him to release Wei Ting from his monastic vows.” 

Princess Hui’an huffed, “That’s more like it!” 

And just like that, she was cheerful again, ready to go play.  

Consort Xian frowned and asked, “Where are you going in this heavy rain?”*  

Princess Hui’an raised her little chin and said, “To see Jingning!” 

She was going to bully Jingning.  

Consort Xian sighed with a headache, ‘When have you ever gained the upper hand against Jingning?’ 

Jingning was born under a lucky star, and the Emperor was already considering bestowing upon her the title of Guardian Princess of the Nation. 

Anything tied to the words ‘Guardian of the Nation’ was no small matter.  

No matter how much Princess Hui’an was doted on, she was still just a pampered princess.  

But Jingning was different. If she were truly granted that title, she would stand equal to a vassal lord.  

Unable to bear watching her daughter repeatedly humiliate herself in front of Jingning, Consort Xian gently warned her, “Behave yourself, your third brother will be back soon.” 

……

It rained heavily in the capital, but in Feng County, thirty miles south away from the capital, there was only a light drizzle.  

Young Master Xiang… or rather, he should be called Xiao Zhonghua now.

He stood under the eaves of the courier station, cloaked in a silver-grey cape.

His left arm was injured, with blood seeped through the wrappings. 

Jing Yi emerged from the misty rain, wielding a long sword, and exuding a murderous aura. 

Blood dripped from the edge of his sword, trailing behind him in a winding path.

“Are you injured?” Xiao Zhonghua asked.

“No.” Jing Yi replied.

Xiao Zhonghua handed him a clean handkerchief.

Jing Yi didn’t use it to wipe his face, but instead to clean his sword.

For him, the sword was more important than his face. 

Xiao Zhonghua asked calmly, “Which wave of assassins was that?” 

Jing Yi answered, “The thirteen.” 

Xiao Zhonghua touched the wound on his arm and said, “They’re really ruthless…” 

Jing Yi remained silent.  

They had known that the youngest son of the Wei family was ruthless, but didn’t expect him to be so ruthless. 

“I didn’t expect it either. I underestimated him in the past.” Xiao Zhonghua said with a faint smile. 

“If you hadn’t shielded me last night, the injury wouldn’t have just been my arm, I might already be dead.” 

That sword had been aimed straight for Xiao Zhonghua’s heart. 

Jing Yi had thrown himself in the way, forcing the assassin to alter the strike at the last moment. As a result, only Xiao Zhonghua’s arm was injured. 

Xiao Zhonghua said casually, “It seems that Wei Ting’s assassins have no intention of harming you.” 

Jing Yi frowned, “Cousin……”

Xiao Zhonghua raised his hand. 

“No need to explain. I know exactly what Wei Ting is trying to do. He wants to sow discord between us, to make me suspect you’re secretly in contact with him. Jing Yi, I’ve told you before, you’re the person I trust most. So I will not doubt you.”

Jing Yi said thoughtfully, “I truly don’t know why his men spared me.”

Xiao Zhonghua chuckled, “It’s just a petty trick, I won’t fall for them. You shouldn’t let it bother you either.”

By the time Wei Ting left the palace, the rain had eased slightly.

He stepped into his carriage.

The secret guard asked, “Young Master, are we returning to the Wei residence?”

Wei Ting’s voice turned cold, “Have I settled the score with you for what you told my grandmother?” 

The secret guard grabbed the reins and smiled awkwardly, “Ah, it’s so late now, the gates of the Wei residence must be locked! Let’s go to Lihua Lane instead!”
