Hearing Xie Pan’Er’s words, Zhu Xiuxiu was greatly surprised.
"I don’t know about that. All I saw was your brother stabbing the Princess of Nanjiang, after which her attendants imdiately carried her away. They also very quickly captured your brother. I followed them to the post station and saw them hand your brother over to the Minister of Dali Temple. The Minister of Dali Temple then imdiately threw your brother into the Celestial Prison. After that, I ca back."
Zhu Xiuxiu told Xie Pan’Er everything she knew.
Xie Pan’Er thanked her and then went to the Celestial Prison, but she didn’t find Xie Si. She returned to look for Ji Youzhi. However, she didn’t know if he was in the Imperial Palace or elsewhere, so she couldn’t find him.
Later, she went straight to the post station. To her surprise, the Princess of Nanjiang’s guard let her in as soon as she announced her na.
「In the Qinxinyuan of the Ji Family, Xiaosuisui put the duck bones on the table. "Xiaobai! Ti for roasted duck!"」
Xiaobai reluctantly ran in from outside, then started gnawing on the bone like a little pug.
Xiaosuisui picked up a piece of breast at and instinctively called out, "Beautiful sister, this piece is for you..." Looking up, she saw Yunxiang standing beside her.
"Princess, you forgot, Miss Xie has gone out for sothing," Yunxiang reminded her.
Xiaosuisui blinked, thought for a mont, and asked, "Do you know where my beautiful sister went?"
Yunxiang shook her head. "Miss Xie didn’t say before she left."
"Could you go ask Steward Liu where my beautiful sister went? Then co back and tell ."
"Yes!"
Yunxiang left imdiately.
Xiaosuisui looked at the roasted duck she held and suddenly found it unappetizing. She fed the entire plate of roasted duck to Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai, do you know where my beautiful sister went?"
Xiaobai rely turned its rear towards her and resignedly gnawed on the bone.
Xiaosuisui turned its head to face her.
"I always feel that my beautiful sister and my aunt avoid when they’re discussing things."
Xiaobai couldn’t speak, but it thought, You’re just a little child; they’re trying to protect your tender heart!
Yunxiang quickly returned and told Xiaosuisui, "Steward Liu said he doesn’t know where Miss Xie went either!"
Xiaosuisui waved her hand, dismissing her.
In the courtyard of Qinxinyuan, Xiaosuisui looked up at the sky. Holding Xiaobai and stroking her chin, she wondered where her beautiful sister could have gone.
After leaving the Palace, her beautiful sister had gone out with her third aunt for a while and then hadn’t returned.
However, with her keen hearing, she had overheard what they said in the back courtyard.
Although Xiaosuisui was only four and a half years old, she was no fool. She knew the news that her beautiful sister’s brother had attempted to assassinate the Princess of Nanjiang.
She could tell that her beautiful sister was very upset and anxious. She instinctively wanted to help her, but she didn’t know how.
After she returned, she had wanted to ask her beautiful sister what she could do for her, but her beautiful sister still hadn’t co back.
"Beautiful sister is anxious to rescue Brother Xie Si, so she must have gone to the Celestial Prison. Maybe I should go to the Celestial Prison first and check if she’s there."
The mont Xiaosuisui thought of it, she was about to channel her Qi and fly over the wall when she rembered her beautiful sister’s teachings.
So, she imdiately returned to her room, picked up a sheet of paper and a brush, and clumsily wrote a few words. Then, she tied the paper to Xiaobai’s tail.
"Xiaobai, go find my maternal grandmother and give her this letter! Tell her that I’m going to look for my beautiful sister."
Xiaobai wagged its tail, hopping and running to Lady Ji’s courtyard.
Watching Xiaobai leave, Xiaosuisui channeled her Qi and flew away!
Lady Ji, who was napping, suddenly furrowed her brows. Then, she slightly opened her eyes. A bundle of white was in front of her. Lady Ji frowned.
"Xiaobai, how did you get here? Did you co with Suisui?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaobai turned around, its rear facing Lady Ji, its short tail wagging at her.
Lady Ji laughed heartily at the sight.
Suddenly, her hearty laughter stiffened because she saw the note tied to Xiaobai’s tail!
