I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Chapter 312: Mo Yu Yun Tian (16)

After speeding all the way, Su Luo and his party finally returned to the capital when it was almost dawn.

In order to conceal his tracks, Su Luo did not return to the palace directly, but returned to her own princess residence first.

She needed time to adjust herself and cover up everything that happened during this border trip.

After returning to the princess's mansion, Su Luo immediately ordered that no one should disturb her.

She needs to have a good rest and think carefully about what to do next.

For several days in a row, Su Luo stayed at home and refused to see visitors.

After resting for two days, Su Luo finally announced that he had "recovered from the cold" and officially appeared in front of outsiders.

It was a sunny morning that day, and Su Luo appeared in the imperial garden in a simple and elegant palace dress.

She looked refreshed and not sick at all.

"Your Highness, are you feeling better?" a concubine asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have recovered." Su Luo smiled slightly, and his every move showed his royal demeanor.

"That's good, that's good." The concubine breathed a sigh of relief. "A few days ago, I was very worried."

"I'm sorry for making Her Majesty worry. It's my fault." Su Luo said apologetically.

"Your Highness, that's not true. Your safety is our greatest blessing."

The concubines around also echoed, and for a moment, the imperial garden was filled with laughter.

Su Luo exchanged greetings with everyone, then left the Imperial Garden, using the excuse that he had not fully recovered.

She knew that her every move was under scrutiny.

She had to be careful and not reveal any flaws.

After returning to the palace, Su Luo immediately summoned Wenchang.

"Wenchang, is there any movement from the court?" Su Luo asked.

"Your Highness, everything is normal," Wenchang replied, "but..."

"Just what?" Su Luo asked.

"However, it seems that someone in the court is secretly investigating General Xiao." Wenchang hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

"Oh?" Su Luo's eyes instantly became sharp, "Have you found out who it is?"

"Not yet." Wenchang shook his head. "The other party is hiding very deeply."

"Keep investigating." Su Luo said in a deep voice, "We must find out who is behind this."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Su Luo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is there any news from Dai State?"

"Not yet," Wenchang replied. "But, Your Highness, are you really going to Dai as a hostage?"

"This is also what my father meant." Su Luo said lightly, "I have no choice."

"But..." Wenchang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Luo.

"Wenchang, I know what you are worried about." Su Luo looked at him with a firm look in his eyes, "But I will not sit idly by and wait for death."

"I will use this time to make all preparations."

"Your Highness..." Wenchang looked at Su Luo, his heart full of admiration and worry.

He knew that once Su Luo went to Dai State, he would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and his life or death would be uncertain.

"Wenchang, do you believe me?" Su Luo suddenly asked.

"I swear to follow Your Highness until death!" Wenchang answered without hesitation.

"Okay." Su Luo nodded, "With your words, I feel relieved."

Su Luo took a deep breath and looked at the bright spring light outside the window, but his heart was heavy.

"Wenchang, prepare the car and go to the Duke of Su's Mansion."

"Your Highness, you've only rested for two days, and you're going out now?" Wenchang was a little worried.

"It's okay. I just feel bored and want to go out for some fresh air." Su Luo smiled faintly, hiding her inner anxiety. "Besides, I haven't visited Xiao Heng for a long time."

Wenchang knew Su Luo's temperament and knew that it was difficult to change his decision, so he stopped trying to persuade him and just made the arrangements silently.

The carriage slowly drove out of the princess's mansion and headed towards the Duke Su's mansion.

Su Luo sat in the car, closed his eyes and rested, but his mind kept thinking about the things at the border and the crisis that General Xiao might face.

She knew that her own strength was limited after all. If she wanted to help General Xiao escape death, she might need the help of Madam Xiao.

After all, Madam Xiao came from a military family, and perhaps she had a more thorough understanding of the affairs of the court and the army than she did.

Before they knew it, the carriage had stopped in front of the Duke Su's Mansion.

Su Luo got off the carriage and looked at the familiar mansion in front of him, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

"Sister Wan Ning!"

A crisp voice interrupted Su Luo's thoughts. She looked up and saw Xiao Heng running towards her with an excited look on his face.

"Sister Wan Ning, you haven't come to see me for many days. I miss you so much!" Xiao Heng ran to Su Luo and pulled her sleeve affectionately.

Su Luo touched his head lovingly and said with a smile: "I have been sick these days. As soon as I recovered, I came to see you."

Xiao Heng became nervous when she heard this: "Sister, are you feeling better? Are you still feeling unwell?"

"It's all right now." Su Luo patted his shoulder and consoled him, "I wonder if Heng'er has been studying hard after not seeing you for a month?"

When Xiao Heng heard Su Luo asking about schoolwork, his face immediately fell. He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Wan Ning, why are you concerned about my schoolwork too..."

As he spoke, his eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly made an excuse: "Sister, I suddenly remembered that there are some things I haven't finished. I'll go and get busy first!"

After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Su Luo to react.

"This kid..." Su Luo looked at Xiao Heng's fleeing back and shook his head helplessly.

Studying is so difficult, he doesn't want to study. Xiao Heng thought while running, practicing martial arts is still more interesting.

Su Luo watched Xiao Heng running away, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.

She turned around and walked towards the courtyard where Madam Xiao lived.

"From now on, I may not be able to visit the Duke Su's mansion as often as I want..." Su Luo sighed in his heart.

Mrs. Xiao's yard had already been cleaned and tidy.

The maids came in and out, busy preparing tea and snacks.

Madam Xiao sat in the main hall, holding a book in her hand, but she seemed a little absent-minded.

She had already heard that Wan Ning was coming today, and she felt both excited and nervous.

"Madam, Miss Wan Ning is here." The maid came in to report.

Mrs. Xiao quickly put down the book in her hand and stood up to greet him.

"Wan Ning, you're here." Mrs. Xiao greeted her with a smile.

"Madam." Su Luo nodded slightly as a greeting.

Mrs. Xiao took Su Luo's hand and looked at her carefully. Seeing that she looked good, she felt relieved.

"Hurry up and sit down. I've asked someone to prepare your favorite snacks and tea."

Su Luo sat down as he was told and looked around. He saw that the house was elegantly furnished and warm everywhere.

"Madam, I came here today to discuss something important." Su Luo went straight to the point.

Madam Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You say."
