Lou Zigui hugged Ning Xiaoyao
Ning Xiaoyao grew serious “We uoba”
Supre was nothing couoba? (Author: How should I say this…)
After the two differingXiaoyao e at her toes, refusing to stare at the chests of treasure and stacks of silver drafts If she saw them now, she’d physically ache
Lou Zigui called in Fang Tang, as standing guard outside, and said, “Go find souards and prepare to leave the palace”
Fang Tang answered in assent and ran off
Lou Zigui then told Shadowgale, “Bring sorant Gauze Alley”
Shadowgale nodded They were going to cause trouble for the Grand Preceptor again
Ning Xiaoyao crouched down and told Erya, “Erya, I’ll hoard a dowry for you another tis”
“How come?” Erya asked
Ning Xiaoyao glanced at the two chests with souys first Erya, ah, grow up a bit slower If you grow up too fast, I won’t have any ht now, Your Majesty’s very poor”
It really was a tragic reason Erya was a very good child, and replied, “Your Majesty, Erya won’t marry anybody Let’s save up rows even slower than me”
“………” said everyone else This little girl has foresight, too
That’s right, Xiaoqiu needsXiaoyao rubbed her eyes She told herself, Ning Xiaoyao, don’t cry You have to row up!
Everyone else watching the scene couldn’t help but feel that His Majesty seeui simply turned and walked out of the room, unable to take any more
After getting news that trouble had come to the Grand Preceptor’s estate, third son Xie Anshi+ forced himself to wait until the smoke and fires dissipated fro back with his uards suddenly kicked their way in They not only blocked off the back door, but the entire back alley Some of the residents heard the commotion and opened their doors to have a look, only to be fiendishly shouted back into their houards
“Lou Zigui” Xie Anshi+ spat as his face twisted upon recognized the ritted his teeth and said coldly, “Lou Zigui, what’s theof this?”
“Ier at Xie Anshi+ “You’re only the vice-head of the Ministry of War, yet you dare to hail our Supreme Commander by name?”
Xie Anshi+ turned to Fang Tang “And just what kind of thing are you?”
“Go in and search,” Lou Zigui ordered the i to keep quiet The ih the doors of the estate It was impossible for the Grand Preceptor’s men to keep them out
“Lou Zigui, just what are you doing?” Xie Anshi+ asked, furious
Lou Zigui didn’t even look at Xie Anshi+, but instead dis and the rest clustered around him like human shi+elds Xie Anshi+ had no choice but to disered that news of the underground chamber had already leaked out somehow Fortunately, everyone down there was already dead, so Lou Zigui was late by a step

Ning Xiaoyao carried her giant bundle into the lampless study, pressed the switch, and opened the secret compartment Then she replaced all the chests, letters, and silver drafts into their original places
“What a sha with Oil Lamp
Ning Xiaoyao sighed “Yeah, what a shaht this moment”
Oil Lamp said, “Oil Lamp didn’t understand Supreme Commander’s words”
Oil Jar quickly nodded in turned, “Did you understand, Xiaoyao?”
“What Supreme Commander meant was that we have to let the Grand Preceptor think that Ning Xiaoluo’s already dead,” Ning Xiaoyao shut the secret co the switch Her conscience was quivering even as she ached
“How coet it
“Because Supreme Commander wants to see the Duke of Yue’s estate have a fallout with the Grand Preceptor over Ning Xiaoluo’s fake death,” Ning Xiaoyao lowered her head as she walked out “Supre a plot with a plot,’”1
“But,” Oil Lamp raised a paw, “But doesn’t the Duke of Yue take orders from the Grand Preceptor to start with? Supreme Commander said the Grand Preceptor wanted to shi+ft the blanaw out the Grand Preceptor’s brains?”
A bad cat gnaws out the brains Ning Xiaoyao’s mouth twitched She’d learned a new turn of phrase from mice
“That’s right,” Oil Jar felt the whole thing was odd as well “Xiaoyao, there’s no need for the Grand Preceptor to go to such lengths just to sow discord”
Ning Xiaoyao said, “I told Supreme Commander the whole fuss was because of my face, but he didn’t believe me”
Oil Jar said, “But doesn’t the Grand Preceptor already have so Xiaoluo in the first place?”
Ning Xiaoyao said, “Maybe he orried that other guy would die halfway, so he had a backup just in case?”
“Then,” Oil Lamp said, “Shouldn’t the Grand Preceptor be worried that the Duke of Yue will recognize his son if he’s used as a replacement for you instead?”
Ning Xiaoyao squatted on the floor of the covered ay as she scratched her head in thought “That’s true” No matter how loyal the Duke of Yue was to the Grand Preceptor, he’d still be able to recognize Ning Xiaoluo if he wasXiaoyao Faces weren’t so easily forgotten
Oil Jar said, “The Grand Preceptor must have another plot on hand!”
“What could it be?” Ning Xiaoyao solicited the two mice for advice
Oil Jar and Oil Lamp didn’t have any answers for that Oil Jar said, “Xiaoyao, you humans are so complicated”
Ning Xiaoyao nodded “That’s right, those humans are way too complicated Even I can’t understand them” (Author: You’re a human too, ah! Wake up already!)

Currently, Lou Zigui was standing at the foot of the fake rock forui stood in the heavy downpour, he saw that the fornan lake rocks But there were no visible traces of the fire that had supposedly swept through the rockery tunnels
By now, Xie Anshi+ had followed theh the stone door in the rock forui, “There was a fire in the baseo If Supreme Commander came to put out the flames, I’m afraid you’re a little too late”
