Patrol camp.

Near the inner circle of the north city wall, there is a very large camp. There are people from the patrol camp guarding the periphery. The towering high walls look very forbidding from a distance. This is the camp of the patrol camp.

It was getting late at night. In a medium-sized room, the Sultan was drinking with a sad face.

"Damn it."

Sultan suddenly slammed his fist on the table and cursed. He hated Su Xuqing in his heart. If she hadn't ruined his good fortune yesterday, he would probably be in the Taifu Mansion today discussing his marriage with Taifu Sun.

The reason why the Sultan was so confident was because the Third Prince had already promised him that as long as he could get Sun Youwei to agree, the banquet would help the Sultan to make this marriage happen.

This is why Sudan resorts to any means necessary.

Now that we have failed, Sun Youwei will definitely be on guard in the future, and it will not be so easy to take action against her.

What made the Sultan uneasy was that he was afraid that Sun Youwei would be desperate and take revenge on him regardless of her own reputation.

Just when the Sultan was feeling upset, a man in iron armor came in from outside the door.

"Hey, Commander Su, why is he drinking alone here?"

The man took off his helmet, revealing a square face with a broad nose and a wide face. He should have looked righteous, but his slanted eyes made him look very cunning.

The Sultan saw him coming and said quickly.

"Brother Xu, please take a seat."

The man didn't hesitate and sat down immediately.

"Come on, come on, Brother Xu, have a drink."

The patrol soldier named Xu raised his glass to drink. The Sultan drank very strong wine. After drinking it in one gulp, his throat felt like it was burned by fire and was very spicy.

"Good wine!"

The Sultan asked hurriedly as the glass of wine was finished.

"Brother Xu, what was the reaction from the Taifu Mansion today?"

Because he was worried that Sun Youwei and the Taifu Mansion would retaliate against him, the Sultan urgently asked a familiar patrol soldier to keep an eye on the Taifu Mansion for him.

Xu Sandao took a piece of food with chopsticks, then said with a smile: "Commander Su, don't worry. I have been watching the Su Mansion's Grand Tutor's house all day, and Grand Tutor Sun didn't even leave the house. There was no reaction at all."

Hearing this, the Sultan breathed a sigh of relief.

"No reaction is good. No reaction is good. It seems that the little bitch has no courage and has ruined her own reputation."

"but……"

Xu Sandao suddenly changed the subject, making Sudan nervous again.

"Although the Imperial Tutor's Mansion did not respond, the Crown Prince's Consort went to see Sun Youwei again today. I wonder what she went there for."

The Sultan became very annoyed when he heard the words "Crown Princess". He could not hide the fact that he had drugged Sun Youwei yesterday from the Crown Princess. After all, when he left, the drug had already taken effect on Sun Youwei, and the Crown Princess would definitely get to the bottom of it.

In his mind, Sun Youwei was not a difficult person to deal with. But this Crown Prince's Consort was different. Even the Minister of Justice Xu Younian was helpless against her before.

The Sultan put his thumb between his teeth and clenched his teeth.

"No, I'm still worried. Brother Xu, please keep an eye on the Taifu Mansion these days and pay attention to the movements of the Crown Prince's Consort."

"No problem." Xu Sandao raised his glass and drank. Then he smiled and asked, "I will help Commander Su, but Commander Su, don't forget what you promised me."

"Don't worry, I am the Third Prince's man. You will have a bright future if you follow me."

The Sultan patted his chest and spoke with great confidence.

Hearing this, Xu Sandao grinned and raised his glass, saying, "Then I will rely on Commander Su for support from now on."

After a few drinks, someone came to the door to report.

"Commander Su, a group of new soldiers arrived at the patrol camp today. The Marquis sent a message this afternoon saying that you will be in charge of the training."

"understood."

Zhu Dan responded casually, sent the person who brought the news away, and continued drinking with Xu Sandao.

Night, Zhen'an Palace.

Because Shen Xuanheng had to do morning exercises every day, he had not served tea to the old princess for several days. Last night, he heard that the old princess was ill, but he was unable to meet her to greet her. So tonight Shen Xuanheng once again went to the old princess's orchid room to greet her, hand in hand with Su Xuqing.

"Mom, how is your health?"

Seeing her son's concerned face, the old princess said with a smile: "It's just a cold. You will feel much better after taking medicine. You don't have to worry about me. You are working in the court now. You are busy every day. When you come back, you should have a good rest. You don't have to worry about me, an old woman."

Hearing this, Shen Xuanheng looked ashamed, "It's all my fault. I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to show my filial piety to my mother."

Su Xuqing also hugged the old princess' arm helplessly.

"Mom, I've been busy lately and haven't been able to serve you. I'm really sorry."

The old princess said nonchalantly, "You two, one is serving the court, and the other is trying to make money. You are both busy with your work, and it is normal for you to not pay attention to me. I won't blame you."

As the three were talking, Su Miner came in with a box of snacks.

The old princess saw Su Min'er's face full of smiles, "Just take care of your own things. Now that Min'er is with you, you don't have to worry about anything."

Su Miner came closer, smiled sweetly, and put the snack box on the table.

"Mom, I bought some snacks from Xu Fuji."

Looking at the snacks on the table, the old princess smacked her lips subconsciously.

"You are all here for snacks, give some to each of you."

Su Xuqing originally didn't want the things Su Min'er bought, but the old princess was so kind that she couldn't refuse, so she accepted half a box.

Back in the four-room courtyard, Su Xuqing placed half a box of pastries on the table.

"Would you like to try the cakes from Yinhuan and Taozi Xu Fuji?"

Yinhuan loves sweets the most. When she heard that it was Xu Fuji’s pastries, her pair of black eyes widened.

"Eat, eat."

Su Xuqing smiled lightly, "If you like it, take it and eat it."

"Madam, don't you want to eat?" Yinhuan asked with her head tilted.

Su Xuqing curled her lips and said, "I won't eat what Su Min'er bought."

Upon hearing this, Yinhuan looked disgusted.

“I don’t eat anything she buys.”

"I don't want to eat either." Taozi shrugged.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanheng smiled indifferently. Su Xuqing's two maids were loyal to her.

Su Xuqing's peach blossom eyes were curved like crescent moons, and she smiled and said, "Since no one wants to eat it, let's feed it to the dogs."

Yinhuan responded and went out with the snack box.

Originally, the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion had a dog, but because Li was too sentimental and offended the eldest princess, the cute big golden retriever was lost.

Therefore, Yinhuan could only take the snacks in the box outside the house and feed them to the stray dogs in the alley.

The next day.

There is a winding street outside the Taifu Mansion, with many breakfast stalls on both sides of the street. Today, Su Xuqing came to find Sun Youwei early in the morning to have breakfast together.

Su Xuqing ordered two bowls of spicy soup, which was spicy and delicious, just right for her.

However, Sun Youwei was obviously not used to spicy food. After three bites, she was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue.
