Chapter 1408: The Excited Wei Xiaobao
Editor: Atlas Studios
Not far away, many disciples hid in the darkness at the entrance of the passageway. They only dared to stick out half their heads and watch this scene with their mouths agape.
Was they possessed, or was the Alliance Master possessed?
Was the Alliance Master actually coaxing a child?
This couldn’t be real, right?
Their Alliance Master killed without batting an eyelid. Moreover, he hated children the most!
All the children on Thousand Mountains Island knew that where Jiang Guanchao appeared, they shouldn’t cry or make a fuss, or they would be killed by him on the spot!
A disciple said hesitantly, “When the Alliance Master smiles… it’s so scary…”
It was not that their Alliance Master did not smile, but he usually sneered. Such a silly smile was really terrifying!
Also, why was that little baby so bold?
The entire ship was filled with her excited laughter.
Was she really not afraid that the Alliance Master would eat her!!!
“Wu Wa ~”
“Wu wu wu wu wu wu ~”
“Woo—wow—”
Wei Xiaobao waved her arms excitedly.
A disciple clenched his fists. “The Alliance Master must have been forced! The Alliance Master owes the Hundred Flowers Palace a favor, so he endured the humiliation! The Alliance Master is a person who will take revenge and repay kindness!”
Another disciple said weakly, “But I think that child is a little cute.”
The disciple who had clenched his fists gritted his teeth and scolded, “How is she cute?”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Wei Xiaobao. He said with a serious expression, “Isn’t she just fairer and fatter compared to ordinary children? She’s beautiful, doesn’t cry or make a fuss during the day, and doesn’t shout when the wind and waves come? She’s like a pink painting doll!”
Everyone was speechless.
Children were energetic, but it was night after all. They would fall asleep when they were tired.
At least that was what Jiang Guanchao thought. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suggested that Yun Shuang wait for the little fellow to fall asleep before carrying her away.
However, reality gave Jiang Guanchao a loud slap.
Wei Xiaobao became more and more excited as she played. Her eyes were wide open, and she looked so energetic that she could catch a sparrow.
Jiang Guanchao’s expression was indescribable. “Doesn’t she sleep?”
Yun Shuang said calmly, “She does. During the day.”
“No wonder it’s so quiet during the day…” Jiang Guanchao gritted his teeth.
Wei Xiaobao frowned. “Woah?”
Jiang Guanchao immediately grinned and revealed a fake smile.
Wei Xiaobao: “Woo!”
Jiang Guanchao was tormented by Wei Xiaobao for the entire night. It was not until dawn that Wei Xiaobao fell asleep sweetly in his arms with a satisfied smile on her face.
The first ray of dawn shone on her red face, making her look like an angel in the morning light.
On the other hand, Jiang Guanchao was not so lucky.
He sat on the deck helplessly. His hair was messy, his clothes were wrinkled, and his eyes were empty. He looked like he had been ruthlessly ravaged.
Yun Shuang carried Wei Xiaobao out of his arms and took a few steps. She glanced sideways and said, “Thank you.”
The red sun broke out of the sea and crossed the sea with a layer of sparkling golden light.
Jiang Guanchao closed his eyes and breathed.
The sea breeze blew, blowing at his wrinkled clothes and messy hair.
He had killed too many people and the smell of blood on his body was too strong.
However, today, there was a faint smell of baby milk in the blood.
A clean sprout had broken out of the ground.
–
Great Zhou.
Princess Hui An returned to the palace.
She had secretly slipped away back then. She knew that her third brother and mother would be very angry. To avoid punishment, she plunged into Kunning Palace.
Princess Jingning said calmly, “It’s useless to hide.”
Princess Hui An pulled Princess Jingning’s hand and said coquettishly, “Let Mother save me.”
Princess Jingning said, “Even Mother can’t save you.”
Now that Xiao Zhonghua was the Crown Prince, her mother was not his biological mother. Concubine Xian was.
Other than Concubine Xian, no one could stop Xiao Zhonghua.
Princess Hui An held her arm. “Think of a way, Jingning…”
Princess Jingning looked at her useless sister who was leaning on her arm. She took a deep breath and waved at Taozhi.
Taozhi understood and took out a bronze mirror.
Princess Jingning placed the bronze mirror in front of Princess Hui An.
“What?”
“Look in the mirror.”
Speaking of which, Princess Hui An had not looked at herself in the mirror along the way.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but that there wasn’t one on the ship.
She nodded and looked into the bronze mirror.
In the next second, a miserable scream erupted from Kunning Palace. “Ah—”
Princess Jingning let out a long sigh.
“Ahhh! Why am I so dark? This isn’t me! It’s not me! It’s not me! Su Xuan saw me like this!”
“How embarrassing!”
“Little sidekick! You actually didn’t remind me!”
Princess Hui An had always thought that she was extremely beautiful. On the ship, she also acted like a beauty and said proudly, “Only someone with fair skin like me will look good in this material.”
“Ah—I don’t want to live anymore!”
“Are you still afraid of meeting the Crown Prince now?”
“So be it! Can it be more embarrassing? Woo—”
However, Xiao Zhonghua did not have the time to see her.
The Old Marquis brought Su Mo and Su Xuan into the palace.
The Crown Prince was in charge of the country and the power of the government was gradually in his hands. The Eldest Prince, Xiao Duye, had long lost the qualifications to compete with him. The Second Prince, Xiao Shunyang, had also been sent to the bitter cold fief.
The reason why he did not kill the two of them was firstly because the time was not ripe. Secondly, there were too many people in the court looking at him. Of course, there were other reasons.
Xiao Zhonghua met the three of them in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The once gentle Third Prince had already begun to show the elegance of an emperor.
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
The Old Marquis bowed.
Su Mo and Su Xuan also bowed. “Greetings, Your Highness!”
The Old Marquis berated, “Kneel down, the two of you!”
Xiao Zhonghua said, “Marquis Su, what do you mean?”
“Your Highness…”
“Old Marquis, rise.”
Xiao Zhonghua personally helped the Old Marquis up.
He treated scholars with respect and respected his trusted subordinates.
The Old Marquis cupped his hands and bowed. “I wouldn’t dare! My grandson privately kidnapped the princess. I’m guilty!”
Xiao Zhonghua glanced at Su Xuan.
Su Mo hurriedly said, “I didn’t teach him well. Your Highness, please punish me!”
Xiao Zhonghua glanced at the three of them.
He didn’t say anything. Instead, he walked to the window and quietly looked at the silent arched eaves of the palace.
After a while, he said, “It was Su Li who took the princess away this time, right?”
The Old Marquis’s expression changed slightly.
Su Mo frowned.
Xiao Zhonghua said, “You want to hide this matter and let me confirm Hui An’s relationship with Su Xuan.”
The Old Marquis said, “I wouldn’t dare.”
He really didn’t have this thought.
He did not bring Su Li along since everything happened because of Su Xuan. He should be the one to deal with it.
Xiao Zhonghua said, “In a month, I will choose a husband for Hui An and Jingning. General Su and Su Huiyuan will come, right?”
Su Mo frowned.
Su Xuan had a calm expression.
The Old Marquis cupped his hands and said, “Of course! It’s my grandsons’ fortune to be able to participate in the selection of the Prince Consort!”
Xiao Zhonghua looked at Su Mo and Su Xuan. “I hope the Su family won’t disappoint me.”
