Chapter 738 - 738: Second Brother Loses His Cover (2)



He was the one who gave it away, okay?

The Jade Coral was one of the dowries for the marriage of the Princess of

Northern Yan. To put it nicely, it was a dowry, but it was actually a tribute.

Third Prince Yuwen Qi had always liked such strange things, so the Emperor of

the Western Jin bestowed it upon him. It was not anything too valuable, so no one took it to heart. Who would have thought that it was actually a medicinal item to treat cold poison?

Zhuge Qing looked at the Western Jin Emperor innocently.

The Western Jin Emperor coughed lightly and said in a low voice, “Got it. I’ll send someone to… get it. Go back and wait for the news.” It was embarrassing to ask for back the reward he had given away.

Zhuge Qing smiled. “I’ll take my leave first.”

When he left the palace, Wei Ting was waiting for him in the carriage.

Zhuge Qing sighed and glanced at him. “Why are you so clingy?

Wei Ting said righteously, “I don’t care. I’m afraid you’ll run away.”

Zhuge Qing paused. “Forget it. You were the most clingy when you were young.”

Wei Ting took a step towards him and said, “So you admit that you’re my second brother, right? No, you admitted it last time. You said that biological brothers should settle accounts clearly.”

Zhuge Qing refused to admit it. “I didn’t say anything.” Wei Ting extended his hand. “Then return the money to me!”

“Have you obtained the Purple Lingzhi?” Zhuge Qing asked.

Wei Ting said with a serious expression, “Don’t change the topic. Do you want your brother or the room fee?”

Zhuge Qing thought for a moment. “Room fee.”

Wei Ting was speechless.

On the other side, the Old Marquis and Su Yuan came to the inn. The two of them already knew Zhuge Qing’s true identity and were shocked for a few nights at the West Capital Courier Station.

It was not that he was shocked that Wei Erlang was still alive.

Alright, he was also shocked about that. However, what was most shocking was that he was actually the number one strategist in the West Capital.

From the day they stepped into the Western Jin, they had heard about this person’s deeds along the way. Otherwise, they would not have suggested meeting the Black Armored Army that he had trained.

In their eyes, Zhuge Qing was simply a legend.

And this legend was actually Wei Qing, who had once been unknown in the Wei family?

“Isn’t the way he hid his strength a little too ruthless…” The Old Marquis felt that he had to get a catty of Erguotou to calm down. In the past, he was jealous of Qin Canglan, but now, he was jealous of Wei Wei.

“Father, we’re here.”

Su Yuan reminded.

The two of them alighted from the carriage.

The three little ones were tired from playing and took an afternoon nap at Zhuge Qing’s side. Su Xiaoxiao returned to the inn to get their clothes and bumped into the Old Marquis and Su Yuan.

“Granduncle, Uncle, um… Grandpa.” Before the Old Marquis’s expression changed, she decisively changed the way she addressed him.

The Old Marquis instantly beamed.

The two of them were here to bid farewell.

“You’re leaving just like that?” In the room of the inn, Su Xiaoxiao poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Su Yuan smiled and said, “It’s not too soon. The diplomatic mission of Northern Yan only stayed for ten days. We’ve stayed long enough. The diplomatic mission is planning to set off in the next few days. Father and I came over to ask you if you want to go back with us.”

This stumped Su Xiaoxiao.

The young Royal Prince’s body needed to be recuperated, but it was not a big problem. It was mainly Zhuge Qing’s herbs. Currently, they had obtained the

Purple Lingzhi and the Jade Coral.

However, it should not be a big problem. The Third Prince was not Feng

Xiaoran. He would not disobey the Western Jin Emperor. As long as the Jade Coral was still in his hands, he would definitely hand it over obediently.

Fu Su had gone to hi residence to keep an eye on him just now to prevent Feng Xiaoran from coming over to cause trouble. For the time being, no bad news came. Everything was under control.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “If nothing goes wrong, we can leave together.”

Su Yuan smiled and said, “That’s great! Father was worried all night last night. He said that if you can’t go back, he would think of a way to stay. Father was never so worried about his grandchildren.”

The Old Marquis snorted. “How can this be the same? Just the few naughty monkeys you gave birth to hurt my eyes!”

Su Yuan asked in amusement, “Do you dislike Mo’er and Xuan’er too?”

Not these two. The Old Marquis was extremely satisfied with Su Mo. Su Xuan was a little too quiet, but he did not cause trouble and was considered obedient. The second and third brothers pinched each other when they met, and the fifth brother went out to cause trouble all day long…

The few of them chatted in the house for a while. It was getting late, and the Old Marquis should return to the posthouse.

“Pack up. I’ll send someone to pick you up on the day we leave.”

With that, he and Su Yuan got into the carriage.

Wei Ting and Zhuge Qing did not return to the courtyard immediately. Instead, they let Ah Fu take a detour to the Dongting Restaurant.

The children loved to eat mutton chops and meatballs from the Dongting Restaurant. Zhuge Qing got someone to prepare them and bring them back for the children.

Wei Ting said with a dark expression, “Why isn’t there anything I like to eat?”

Second Brother, you’ve changed.

Tm no longer your most beloved Little Seven!

After leaving the Dongting Building, the two of them returned to Zhuge Qing’s residence.

Wei Ting carried the wheelchair down and pushed him into the courtyard.

Zhuge Qing took off his mask. The skin of his face, which had been pressed down for a day, was slightly red.

Guo Lingxi had also heard that her brother was about to return to the Great Zhou. She asked the Western Jin Emperor for permission to leave the palace to bid farewell to her brother. The Western Jin Emperor generously agreed and asked her to bring palace maids and eunuchs out of the palace.

She did not want to say goodbye to her brother at all. Instead, she wanted to take this opportunity to repair her relationship with Yuwen Jing.

She went to buy Yuwen Jing’s favorite crab roe pastry, which happened to be beside the Crimson Moon Inn.

She took the snacks and looked in when she passed by the Crimson Moon Inn.

She saw Wei Ting at the back door.

Thinking that she might never see him again in her life, she bit her lip and decided to say a few words to him.

However, when she arrived at the backyard of the Crimson Moon Inn, she unexpectedly saw Zhuge Qing sitting in a wheelchair under the peach tree.

Zhuge Qing was not wearing a mask, revealing the face she had seen countless times in the Wei family since she was young.

She clenched her fists and the blood in her body froze.. “Wei… Wei Qing?”
