Xiao Qingqian drank another mouthful of soup, ”Help me analyze who this big rat is that emptied our treasury.”
Wei Qing had thought about this question seriously before, but wanting to take such a large sum of money out of the national treasury was obviously a fantasy.
How on earth did he get it out?
”Anyone is possible, but I need a chance to lure a snake out of its hole.”
Xiao Qingqian nodded, ”What did you do after you returned today?”
”Do you know? dog general is very powerful now, I can even find it if I were to casually hide my own kernels. And there's the intelligent multi-star, it'll say a lot of things. ”
”Is that so?” Xiao Qingqian was skeptical.
With such a large sum of money missing from the treasury, Wei Qing actually had the leisure to play with the dog general and teach Wisdom Star a lesson?
Being stared at by him, Wei Qing's eyes flickered.
In truth, all of these were merely fabricated by Wei Qing. The reason was so that Xiao Qingqian wouldn't worry.
”Qing`er, look into my eyes.”
Wei Qing raised her eyes and slowly looked into his eyes that were as deep as ink.
”How do you know I made this up?” Wei Qing moved closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder.
”I understand you too well.” He tapped her on the head with the other end of his chopsticks.
Wei Qing was extremely upset, ”Can you stop knocking on my head? No wonder I'm getting more and more stupid, it's all because of you and that smelly old man! ”
Xiao Qingqian could not help but smile, ”Alright, I'm full.”
Originally, if the matter of the treasury did not arise, she had planned to wait for him to finish this period of work and go with him to see how far Landlord Wang and the villagers have gone in repairing the water canals.
”Want a bath?” Wei Qing asked.
Xiao Qingqian frowned as he studied Wei Qing, ”I've been too busy these past few days, and I'm afraid I can't accompany you properly.”
Wei Qing knew that he had misunderstood, and unhappily rolled her eyes at him, ”Don't let your thoughts go awry, what I mean is, you should soak in the bath for a good reason to dispel your exhaustion.”
Xiao Qingqian choked on his saliva, ”Alright.”
Wei Qing rubbed his forehead, ”Is it better?”
”Much better.” Xiao Qingqian looked up at Wei Qing who was behind him, ”After thinking about it, I still feel that the person who can do this kind of thing must be someone from the palace.”
”You already have a suspect.”
Xiao Qingqian reached out to pinch Wei Qing's crimson red face that was steamed up by the water vapor, ”Those who know me, Wei Qing is also one of them.”
”While royal father was unconscious, Xiao Hanqi did not make any unusual movements. Actually, the possibility of Long Xiaotian doing so is also very high.”
”The two of them working together to empty the national treasury of the Northern Kingdom?” Xiao Qingqian felt that this was a little too crazy, ”Don't involve Long Xiaotian in everything.”
No matter how capable this person was, he might not be able to unwittingly empty the national treasury of the Northern Kingdom, right?
If he had the ability, then wouldn't the four kingdoms be his?
Wei Qing smiled at him, ”We'll see when the time comes.”
He believed that Xiao Qingqian and the Old Emperor must already have a plan to deal with them.
”Didn't you want to see what the aqueduct looks like?”
Wei Qing was slightly surprised, she never thought that Xiao Qingqian would actually still remember about this matter. A huge wave of warmth rose in her heart, quickly surging towards her four limbs and her hundred bones.
”Aren't you busy these days?”
”It's still possible to make time.” He laughed.
Although it was just a single syllable, it allowed others to hear that she was in an extremely good mood.
Just as they reached the shore, the dark guard's report came in from the outside.
Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian looked at each other, and both of their hearts jumped at the same time.
”We found the tortoise so quickly?” Wei Qing was in disbelief.
Xiao Qingqian felt that it should not be that fast, and he locked his eyebrows, ”Let's go out and see.”
