General, Your Wife Wants You to Get Out - C142

Su Zhi was not in a good mood. Slightly depressed, she drank some soup and filled her stomach.

When his hand touched his face, it still hurt. She put down the bowl and chopsticks and went into her room to get some medicine from the system.

Dan Xue was worried about her, so she whispered from outside, “Madam, let this servant pick some buckwheat for you and boil some soup to wash your face.”

“No need, I’ll sleep for a while.”

She opened the storage room and selected a medicinal item from the menu. She took some anti-inflammatory medicine and smeared it on her face.

The ointment was as cold as jade, and it felt much more comfortable when applied to his face.

After getting into bed, Su Zhi could not fall asleep. Her mind kept recalling what had happened in the palace.

The maid called Qian’Er was clearly heading towards them, but when she saw the young eunuch, she came with him.

He was clearly not near her, but she deliberately pretended to trip over him and sprinkled the powder from the bottle onto her face. She even acted in advance, shouting that she was hit and spilled something.

From the young eunuch’s words, it seemed that she was the empress’s servant girl. What was her motive for doing this? Destroying her face. Didn’t she want to be recognized?

Su Zhi suddenly remembered the question that the empress dowager had inadvertently asked when she saw her: How have you been recently, Master Su?

Lord Su?

Which Lord Su? From An Yang’s expression, it seemed that he was someone who shouldn’t be mentioned.

Su Zhi could not understand the many doubts and misgivings involved. However, she was certain of one thing. It was no accident that she had been admitted to wrong at the Liu Estate!

Smoke gathered at the silver moon, and dark clouds covered the sky.

Spring had not yet arrived, and the depression of winter still hung over the capital.

The night was as silent as water. The man leaned over the desk and fiddled with the lyre in front of him. The melody of the zither was melodious and melodious, it was beautiful and beautiful. If one wasn’t a martial artist, then one wouldn’t easily see the killing intent in the zither music.

When Zhao Jian pushed open the door and entered, the flame on the candlestick flickered slightly.

The man who was playing the zither did not stand up to welcome him. Instead, he focused on playing the tune until it was finished before he nodded his head in acknowledgement.

“Why did father come to visit late at night?”

Zhao Zheng caressed the zither’s body. Compared to Zhao Jian’s worried expression, he seemed exceptionally calm.

“Your elder sister asked me to come to the palace today. She said that the empress dowager had almost recognized that woman, and that the emperor was even curious about the Su family. Who knows, they might even be summoned some day.”

“Oh ~ for this.”

Zhao Jian nodded his head and asked, “I wonder what Zheng’er’s plan is?”

“Since I’m afraid that paper cannot contain fire, then let’s make the first move and eliminate all future troubles.” After all, the dead were the safest.

“I understand what you mean, but that woman has a lot of hidden guards. If we were to act rashly, we might alert the enemy.”

Zhao Zheng held a piece of white silk in his hand and carefully wiped the zither, but his expression still didn’t fluctuate much.

It was as if the difficulty of killing someone had not exceeded his expectations. However, there was one person who could not make a move.

“With Xiao Qian here, none of us will be able to touch that woman.”

Zhao Jian’s approval was also what gave him the most headache. He didn’t know how the Xiao family had fallen for that woman. Now, not only did he have to guard against the Jiang family and pay attention to the Shen family, he also had to deal with that troublesome master.

“However, there is no need for Father to be anxious. He cares more about that woman than I had expected. This is our most advantageous bargaining chip.”

The Xiao family wanted to topple him. Xiao Qian did not seem weak at all, but from the looks of it, wasn’t the Su family’s girl his most fatal weakness?

“If something were to happen to Su Xing when Xiao Qian left and he had to return to the Imperial City without his majesty recalling anything, what would happen?”

A strategy of killing two birds with one stone, aside from that woman, could also knock out Xiao Qian.

Zhao Jian did come up with this method, but it would be troublesome no matter how he tried. After all, he couldn’t just let Xiao Qian leave the capital for no reason at all, especially after knowing that An Yang might harm Su Qiuyi.

“My plan is to release the news of the rebel leader’s escape and lure him away. Then, I will find an opportunity to lure that woman out of the city before killing her.”

Zhao Jian’s eyes widened as he asked in confusion, “Will we be able to trace this information to the Zhao Family if we spread it out like this?”

Zhao Zheng shook his head with great confidence. “Of course not, because the person is already dead. If we can’t even find the corpse, then how do we confront each other?”

His goal was just to get Xiao Qian to leave the capital. As long as he just left, he would have a way to make Su Xing suffer.

Once someone left Xuan City, after the two groups of dark guards split up, wouldn’t it be easy to kill her?

This time, however, her luck would not be as good as it was six years ago.

Seven days later, the scouts who had sent out the order to track down the rebel leader received a message. They said they wanted to confirm where Sun Qiang, Mo Qijie and Qian Bin had gone to the East Ocean Continent.

The moment he received the news of the defection, Wei Wu Emperor ordered Xiao Qian to bring him into the search, he must capture him and bring him back.

Therefore, General Xiao, who had been busy from the year before, rushed to the East Sea without stopping.

Nightfall. Spring Leaf Alleyway.

In a brightly lit area, there was a school-age child leaning on a desk, earnestly taking notes from the book.

The woman stood by her side with a pleased look on her face and a new pair of cotton pants in her hands.

In a corner squatted a pretty little girl, picking at the short hair of a rabbit in her arms with her fingers.

The family of three stood under the oil lamp. Although they did not communicate, they still felt warm.

“Ah Zhi, I’m back!”

A man’s voice came from outside the door.

Su Zhi put down the thread in her hand and walked out to welcome him.

Xiao Qian was still acting like he was in a hurry, with black stubble on his chin.

“It’s so late. I thought you wouldn’t be here today.”

The man stepped forward and embraced her. With a tired tone, he explained, “I’m leaving tonight. I’ve come to see you and the child.”

Su Zhi was slightly surprised. Where were they going now?

“The scouts have sent word that the rebels may have crossed the sea to the East Ocean Continent.” “The Emperor was furious and told me that I must capture him no matter what. If I can’t capture him, then don’t ever come back.”

“Then you’re leaving tonight?”

He nodded at her and buried his head in the woman’s neck, full of attachment and reluctance.

“I don’t trust you and your child. I’m always worried that An Yang and the others will come and cause trouble for us. “If anything happens to you after I leave, go and trouble Tan Zhao. If he can’t deal with you, then find the general of a secondary nation. He’s my colleague and he’ll help you.”

Hearing that he was leaving, Su Zhi was even more reluctant to let him go as she wrapped her arms around the man’s neck. He didn’t know when he would be able to return from this perilous journey.

“You and I don’t have to worry, child. Rest in peace and do your own thing. Leave early and come back early.”

Hearing the conversation of the two, A Jin brought Little Dou Bao out to take a look. Xiao Qian let go of Su Zhi and crouched down, hugging the two children.

“Daddy ~” Once the rabbit was gone, she hugged him and called out to him sweetly.

“Ah ~” Xiao Qian replied with a smile as his heart melted.

If it weren’t for the monkey that was messing around, he could still be hugging his wife and children and warming his head, but unfortunately, the heavens didn’t help him.

“Uncle Xiao, are you leaving?”

Xiao Qian patted A Jin’s head and nodded, “Yes, when Uncle Xiao is not around, A Jin has to listen to mother.”

“It’s cold outside, let’s enter the house.” Su Zhi urged from the side.

“No, I should have left anyway, so I won’t go in.”

The military situation was urgent and could not be delayed. Xiao Qian hugged the child and Su Zhi one last time, and didn’t even step through the door. After saying a few words to them, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Looking at her departing figure, Su Zhi felt at a loss. He had thought that he would be fine after being busy for a while. He hadn’t thought that his days of running around would be so long.

The day after Xiao Qian left, Su Zhi wanted to go to the store once. The red mark on her face had not completely disappeared, but it was still pretty much gone. If he didn’t look closely, he wouldn’t be able to sense anything.
