After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

"Yes, yes, King Yunan is indeed the undefeated general of Nanye."

Ye Tantai said with some displeasure: "General Xiao, that's ridiculous. It's just that you made an appointment with us at the last minute. It's already late. General Xiao's bad habit of not being punctual is not recommended."

"Haha, something happened in the house and I was delayed." Xiao Guoliang said.

"I'm afraid General Xiao didn't do it on purpose. I'm afraid this match wasn't made by Vice Admiral Yang on the spur of the moment, but you had already arranged it."

Ye Tantai exposed Xiao Guoliang's thoughts, but he was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he directly admitted: "Yes, but I did this at the request of the soldiers."

Ye Tantai was very confused and saw Xiao Guoliang turning around and asking his soldiers: "I wonder if you have been defeated by King Yunan?"

None of the imperial guards spoke. It was obvious that they were dissatisfied, but they seemed to have no choice but to accept it.

"I'm calling Yu Nan Wang here for one more thing today. I, the Xiao family, have no heirs, and I want to adopt Yu Nan Wang as my adopted son. I wonder if Yu Nan Wang is willing?"

As soon as these words came out, even Su Qingcheng was surprised.

She could see that Xiao Guoliang's attitude towards Ye Tantai was different from others, but she didn't expect that he would dare to accept him as his adopted son.

Ye Tantai frowned and said, "Why me?"

"I will explain the reason to you later, but you don't seem to have the right to refuse. Remember last time I promised to help you find someone, do you owe me a condition?"

"It turns out that General Xiao wanted to accept me as his adopted son at that time..." Ye Tantai squinted his eyes, trying to see through Xiao Guoliang's intentions.

It seems that he brought the two here for such a competition today because he wanted his imperial guards to recognize Ye Tantai as his adopted son.

General Xiao Guoliang did a good job and involved his subordinates in everything...

Su Qingcheng thought this in her heart.

However, Xiao Guoliang's adoption of an adopted son was something she did not expect. She originally thought that after the relationship with Xiao Guoliang eased, it would help her on her journey to becoming a princess.

The best situation is that the four major families and the Xiao family should not be in conflict. Unexpectedly, Xiao Guoliang actually fell in love with Ye Tantai, so things would be much better than she expected.

But if Ye Tantai doesn't want to, she won't force it.

"Once a word has been said, it's hard to chase it back." Ye Tantai's expression did not change. "Since it was the condition owed to General Xiao at that time, I have no objection."

Xiao Guoliang was a little nervous at first, but finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ye Tantai agreed.

"Okay, don't worry, Princess, this matter will not involve the relationship between the two countries." Xiao Guoliang assured Su Qingcheng.

Su Qingcheng nodded.

One thing was settled, and the three of them discussed the arrangements for the entire afternoon.

Xiao Guoliang personally led the Imperial Guards to send the two of them back to the Princess's Mansion. Before leaving, he handed Su Qingcheng a secret letter.

"This is the place where the man from the black market has been in the past few days." Xiao Guoliang's expression was a little serious.

After taking it over, Su Qingcheng knew the reason for his seriousness. There were all black market locations on it, but there was only one place.

Xining Mansion.

The leftists from Jilemen actually dared to go to Xining Mansion blatantly.

"I understand. I hope General Xiao can keep this matter secret." Su Qingcheng said.

"Old minister knows."

At the same time, Xining Mansion.

Yao Zhirou was lying in the arms of a man and said in a soft voice: "Mr. Fu, the child is already pregnant. Please touch and see."

The man in the mask touched her belly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The Lantern Festival is approaching. This time I will kill Su Qingcheng!"

"Don't worry, the child and I will always help you."

dong dong dong.

The knock on the door made the two of them jump out of bed in fear. Fu Xingzhou had no time to hide in the secret room, so he had to crawl under the bed first.

"Who is it?" Yao Zhirou asked tentatively.

"It's me," Xining Jingtian's vague voice came, "the doctor prescribed anti-fetal medicine for you."

"Leave it by the door, I'm changing clothes." Yao Zhirou glanced at Fu Xingzhou under the bed and said with a guilty conscience.

Xining Jingtian didn't speak for a long time, and his voice was low: "Zhirou, I haven't talked to you for a long time."

Yao Zhirou frowned, with an impatient look on her face. She walked over and opened the door, but refused to let Xining Jingtian in: "Brother Jingtian, I'm tired. Let's talk tomorrow."

Xining Jingtian noticed something was wrong, but he still compromised and said, "Drink the medicine, as the Imperial Master ordered."

Yao Zhirou drank it all in one gulp and said, "Okay."

Then she closed the door.

The next day, Su Qingcheng was really worried about the leftist group from Huai Jile Sect going to Xining Mansion, so she got up early.

Although she knew that the Biansheng Pill incident was a joint operation between them, the delay in finding any trace of Fu Xingzhou made her have to suspect that something was going on in Xining Mansion.

"Let's go to Xining Mansion." Su Qingcheng said.

Ye Tantai naturally did not refuse, and the two of them set off after a hurried breakfast.

When they arrived at Xining Mansion, Yao Zhirou was not there.

"Princess, Miss Yao and the young master went to the temple to pray for blessings early this morning." The maid said.

"It's such an unfortunate coincidence, then I'll wait in the house." Su Qingcheng had no intention of leaving.

The maid didn't dare to stop him. All the people Ye Tantai had arranged to stay in Xining Mansion had already evacuated. The current Xining Mansion was very unfamiliar to them both.

After walking for a while, I met Xining Jana.

"Princess." Her eyes were a little evasive.

"Long time no see, you're not being controlled anymore, are you?" Su Qingcheng nodded and said.

"No, last time... thank you, Princess." Xining Jana said in a low voice.

"Let bygones be bygones," Su Qingcheng said lightly. She thought of something, "How about Yao Zhirou in the house?"

"Very good, but I always feel weird," Xining Kana hesitated. "She used to cling to her brother. Since she became pregnant, she sleeps in a separate room with him and rarely leaves the room."

Su Qingcheng's eyes flashed, and she suddenly had a guess.

Could it be that Fu Xingzhou has been hiding in Xining Mansion from the beginning...

Once suspicion arises, she must obtain evidence.

Su Qingcheng hurriedly said goodbye to Xining Jana and walked to Yao Zhirou's yard.

When Yao Zhirou and Xining Jingtian went out, it was impossible for Fu Xingzhou to follow him or leave the house, so he must be inside now.

"Let the shadow guards seal the surrounding area," Su Qingcheng said.

She stopped at the door of Yao Zhirou's room. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear the breathing of the man in the room.

After opening the door, there was no one inside.

Su Qingcheng went in and searched, but found no trace of the second person's life.

"Perhaps you are overthinking?" Ye Tantai said.

"Maybe." Su Qingcheng knelt down and looked under the bed.

It stands to reason that there should be some dust under the bed, but the center under Yao Zhirou's bed is very clean, and there is dust around it.

It's like someone lay here and then left.

"No, he's right here!"
