Chapter 1001 - 1001: Father Wei Storms the Border

She was walking with the little palace maid on a deep path.

The architectural style of the Southern Wilderness Palace was slightly different from that of the Great Zhou Palace. There were more strange flowers and plants.

Unfortunately, it was dark. If it was in the day, she would have wanted to take a closer look.

The Third Prince’s reputation was not good.

The mere fact that he had instigated the little princess’s personal palace maid to deceive her was enough to prove that the rumors about him were true.

Actually, it was not difficult to avoid this night. The problem was that she could not leave any future trouble for the real Ye Sui.

Otherwise, as long as the Third Prince did not give up, Ye Sui would still be targeted by him sooner or later.

She had to think of a way to avoid future trouble.

Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to deal with the Third Prince when there was suddenly a commotion ahead.

She took a closer look and saw that many palace maids and eunuchs were either carrying buckets or basins of water and hurriedly running in a direction.

The palace maid also found it strange and went forward to stop a young eunuch. “What happened?”

Although the young eunuch did not know her, her clothes showed that she was a high-level palace maid.

The young eunuch replied politely, “Sister, the Imperial Garden is on fire. The pavilion and wooden house are all in flames. We’re rushing to put out the fire!”

“The Imperial Garden?” The palace maid was shocked. “His Highness! Have you seen His Highness?”

The young eunuch said in a daze, “Is the Third Prince here?”

The Third Prince had designs on a disciple of the Holy Maiden Temple, so he naturally did not want everyone to know. He must have dismissed the palace servants and guards.

The palace maid couldn’t care less about Su Xiaoxiao anymore. She picked up her skirt and quickly ran towards the Imperial Garden.

Seeing that she had suddenly abandoned her, Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin strangely.

“Looks like it’s urgent.”

Just as she finished muttering, a strong palm grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind the rockery at the side.

“It’s me.”

Wei Ting said in a low voice.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and suddenly trembled.

Wei Ting dusted his sleeves and said coldly and proudly, “There’s no need to be so agitated.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze swept across his unruly head and then looked at his assumption of a cool and domineering demeanor… She secretly pinched her thigh and resisted the urge to let him die on the spot.

Wei Ting did not know how touching his image was. He spoke in an aloof manner, “Didn’t you enter the palace with Yin Xiaodie? Why did you act alone? Were you disobedient and went to ask about that mysterious expert?”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head regretfully. “No, I just came out of the Chengde

Hall of the King of the Southern Wilderness. I haven’t seen a single expert.”

Wei Ting frowned. “Then why are you alone?”

Su Xiaoxiao told him about the little palace maid looking for her and didn’t hide her guess.

“The Third Prince? The one who proposed to Princess Hui An?” A cold glint flashed across Wei Ting’s eyes.

The Third Prince had unsavory thoughts of the little fat peacock.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “No matter what, he’s the one who proposed to Hui An. I

didn’t see him clearly during the Holy Selection last time. I have to take a look this time.”

Wei Ting said, “There’s no need to look.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “What’s wrong?

Wei Ting gestured for Su Xiaoxiao to look east.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and saw two guards carrying out a scarred person with a wooden board.

He seemed to have just experienced a fire and half of his hair was burned bald.

His sleeves and hem were also burned.

There was a guard’s robe covering his waist.

It was unknown if he had fainted or not. In short, he could not move, but he was twitching and trembling.

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “It seems a little tragic…”

“Third Prince… Third Prince…”

The palace maid who had come to look for Su Xiaoxiao just now held onto the wooden board and cried.

Alright, with the Third Prince in this state, she really did not need to see him.

Moreover, she would not need to do so for a long time in the future.

This fire came at the right time.

In the palace, before one wave subsided, another rose.

After the fire was closed to being under control, screams came from the other end of the palace.

“There’s something wrong with the Scripture Depository!”

“There’s fire in the storeroom!”

“Six are burning!”

“The pill room… the pill room exploded!”

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting trembled.

It was fine when they walked from the Imperial Garden to the front courtyard, but who blew up the pill room?

A terrifying thought flashed across their minds and the two of them paused at the same time.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting in a daze. “Is Dad here?”

Wei Ting replied slowly, “He’s here.”

A tiger aura rushed to the top of their heads.

The two of them turned around and left!

Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao found Wei Xu in a storeroom near the six tribes.

The two of them were anxious to find him, for fear that he would be discovered.

However, the old man got a set of armor from somewhere and stood in the crowd to command.

Flames surged everywhere, shining on his face which was covered in black ash. However, his heroic facial features still made him look majestic and inviolable.

A sweating guard jogged over and bowed respectfully to him with a bucket.

“Sir, do you think this wooden bucket is okay?”

Wei Xu placed his hands behind his back and nodded majestically.

The guard relaxed. It was an indescribable honor to be affirmed by such a dignified lord.

“Then, we’ll go get water,” he said.

Wei Xu waved his hand calmly.

The guard hurriedly went.

His companion was with him.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting heard their conversation.

“Is that the new lord?”

“I have no idea.”

“Why isn’t he saying anything?”

“This is what they meant by cherishing words like gold!” “That’s true. He doesn’t look like someone to be trifled with.”

“Shh, speak less and do more!”

Wei Xu commanded seriously and arrogantly.

The guards and palace servants passing by bowed to him. No one suspected him.

The corners of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched.

Was it really good for an arsonist to command the extinguishing of the fire here?

Was it that exciting to light the fire and extinguish it himself?

Wei Ting thought that he was already shameless enough. It was after seeing his father that he realized how shallow his cultivation was.

This was his father’s realm.

Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao hid behind a stone statue.

Wei Ting grabbed a handful of small stones from the ground and threw one at the back of his father’s head.

He originally wanted to hit his shoulder, but he was so shocked by his father’s actions that his hands trembled…

Wei Xu turned around murderously.

Wei Ting stuffed the remaining stones into Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and grabbed her hand.

Su Xiaoxiao, who had suddenly taken the blame, was speechless.

Wei Xu planned to come over and meet them.

Logically speaking, he should have sneaked around and not been discovered.

He didn’t.

He swaggered from the event location calmly.

Wherever he went, everyone bowed and made way.

He disappeared into the night without looking back. Still, no one felt that anything was wrong.

This night, a large area of the palace was in flames. His Excellency must have gone to investigate the situation elsewhere.

Everyone simply thought that he was being dutiful..
