General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

Qin Canglan clenched his fists.

“What’s wrong?” Sikong Yun asked worriedly.

“I seemed to have suddenly lost consciousness just now…”

Qin Canglan frowned and waved his hand indifferently. “It should be a gout attack. It has happened a few times before, and every time, my wrist hurts. This time, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Looks like it has improved greatly.” Sikong Yun glanced at him, the worry in his eyes not dissipating.

In the evening, Su Li lay on the hard bed after eating a tasteless vegetarian meal.

Sigh, it wasn’t easy for him to leave the Guo family. He thought he was so carefree, but he ended up being locked up in this deserted villa.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Su Li asked angrily.

There was no answer outside the room.

Su Li frowned strangely and got out of bed. He walked over and opened the door to take a look.

There was no one around, but there was a red wild fruit on the ground at the door.

He picked up the wild fruit and broke it open.

The core was gone, replaced by a folded note.

He looked around to make sure no one had noticed and quickly brought the note in.

“From the White Lotus Society? How exciting!”

When night fell, Su Li changed into his night clothes and quietly left the villa.

Qin Canglan, who had returned to his room, glanced above his head. There was the sound of tiles being stepped on. He snorted coldly. “Young brat, don’t you know how to be gentle!”

The temple’s defenses were very tight.

Jing Yi hugged his sword and sat on a high branch at the door.

The black shadow brazenly flashed past him. He did not move at all, as if he did not notice it.

Su Li used his qinggong to enter the temple.

He avoided the patrolling guards and sneaked into the courtyard where the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager were temporarily staying.

Xiao Duye, Xiao Zhonghua, and Xiao Shunyang came up from the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Duye stopped in his tracks and looked back at the courtyard. “A figure flashed past just now. Did you see it?”

Xiao Zhonghua said without changing his expression, “Brother, I’m afraid you saw wrongly, right? Where’s the figure?”

“Really!” Xiao Duye said seriously, “It went over with a whoosh! Second Brother, what do you think?”

He looked at Xiao Shunyang on the other side.

Xiao Shunyang was staring at a meditation room.

“Second Brother, Second Brother!” Xiao Duye shook his shoulder.

Xiao Shunyang retracted his gaze and was stunned. “What’s wrong, Brother?”

Xiao Duye frowned and said, “I asked you if you saw a black shadow just now. What are you thinking about?”

Xiao Zhonghua said unhurriedly, “Isn’t that obvious? Second Brother must be worried about Imperial Grandmother. Imperial Grandmother has just recovered from a serious illness and climbed up the mountain today. When we went to pay our respects just now, her expression wasn’t good, right, Second Brother?”

Xiao Shunyang said, “Yes.”

“I’d better go take a look. What if…” Xiao Duye had been neglected for a long time and was anxious to make a contribution.

Xiao Zhonghua said, “Big Brother, Jing Yi is guarding the door. He won’t let anyone suspicious in. Moreover, Grandmother and the Grand Empress Dowager have already rested. If you rashly go in and disturb them, I’m afraid that Father will blame you and you will be grounded again.”

These words successfully hit Xiao Duye’s sore spot. Xiao Duye’s face turned green and red as he left gloomily.

Xiao Zhonghua looked at Xiao Shunyang and said, “Second Brother, let’s go back too.”

Xiao Shunyang smiled. “Second Brother hasn’t caught up with you in a long time. Let’s go to your place.”

“Second Highness, Third Highness!”

A young eunuch hurriedly walked over and bowed respectfully. “The Second

Prince’s wife is not feeling well.”

Xiao Zhonghua said considerately, “Second Brother, go accompany Second

Sister-in-law first. We’ll catch up another day.”

Su Xiaoxiao was already lying down. Su Li pried off her door latch and entered.

A stick flew over, and Su Li’s body trembled. He took a side step to avoid it and raised his hand to grab the stick.

“Are you trying to kill me?”

He scolded softly and closed the door. “It’s me!”

“I know it’s you.” Su Xiaoxiao sat up cross-legged. Su Li’s expression darkened. “Then why did you—”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I wanted to test your skills.”

Su Li rolled his eyes. “Have you got nothing else better to do?”

He glanced at Su Xiaoxiao from the corner of his eye. Seeing that she was neatly dressed, he walked over with relief and handed the note in his hand to her. “Here.”

“Any news?”

“I just received it. Someone knocked on the door. I went to open it, but he was gone. There was a fruit on the ground with a note in it.”

As he spoke, he sat down on a stool by the table.

Looking at the four baskets of fresh fruits on the table, his eyes widened. “No way, where did you get so many fruits?”

The villa also distributed some fruits. Unfortunately, they were green and small. There were not many.

He tasted one. “It’s so sweet!”

It was too satisfying to live on the mountain. There was actually such sweet fruit to eat!

He ate.

Su Xiaoxiao unfolded the note.

This time, the White Lotus Society did not use a secret code and wrote the time and place.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did you say that someone knocked on your door?”

“Yes,” Su Li said.

Su Xiaoxiao pondered and said, “It seems that other than Guo Huan, there are other White Lotus believers in the team this time.”

Su Li paused in his eating. “No way?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “If it was an outsider who infiltrated, Qin Canglan would have discovered it long ago.”

Su Li hummed. “You seem to have a point.”

His granduncle was very powerful. No assassin could be arrogant under his granduncle’s nose.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Let’s go take a look at the agreed place.”

Su Li was puzzled. “Isn’t it midnight? It’s still early!”

Su Xiaoxiao took out a set of night clothes from her bag. “We can only wait for him if we go early. What if he leaves you another note?”

Su Li frowned. “Is he crazy?

Su Xiaoxiao put on her night clothes. “Otherwise, why didn’t he meet you at the villa? He must not want you to know his identity.”

“Alright, alright.” Su Li had a fruit in his mouth and grabbed a few more. There was no one else who could eat and carry more at the same time.

In the dark night, the temple fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Xihe trembled and sat up with a low cry.

The little palace maid lying on the table on night duty was woken up. “Grand

Empress Dowager, what’s wrong?”

Bai Xihe broke out in cold sweat. She looked at the window with the shadows of the trees. “Is there someone?”

The little palace maid pushed open the window and took a look. “There’s no one.”

Little Yunzi carried the oil lamp in. “Grand Empress Dowager, did you have a nightmare again?”

Bai Xihe took a deep breath and nodded with a pale face.

Little Yunzi said to the little palace maid, “Go to the small kitchen and cook some porridge.”

“Yes.”

The little palace maid went.

Little Yunzi put down the oil lamp and poured Bai Xihe a cup of cold tea. “Have some tea to calm yourself down.”

Bai Xihe took the blanket and took a small sip. “How long did I sleep?”

Little Yunzi said, “Six hours. Do you want to sleep a little longer? You haven’t eaten dinner. Are you hungry? I’ll wake you when the porridge is ready.” Bai Xihe shook her head. “I’m not hungry, and I don’t want to sleep. Walk with me..”
