Chapter 1056: The Dust Settles
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the three of them finished warming themselves by the fire, the rain almost stopped.
If they went down the mountain at this hour, they could get back before dark.
Su Xiaoxiao packed the medicine basket and said to the old man, “Senior, let’s go back.”
The old man was playing with his new fire lighter. He blew on it and almost burned the cave.
Under Su Xiaoxiao’s repeated urging, he reluctantly put away the lighter and brought it down the mountain with the anesthetic and binoculars.
On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao asked him, “Senior, we’re all on the same side now. I still don’t know how to address you.”
The old man hesitated for a moment before replying, “My surname is Qiu.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Senior Qiu.”
The three of them continued forward.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “My husband’s name is Wei Ting. My name is Cheng Su in the Southern Wilderness. You can call me Xiaoxiao. The one with golden arms is my sixth brother. You can call him Little Six. She’s the Saintess.”
“Puppet,” the old man corrected.
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands. “You can tell.”
The puppets refined by Ling Yun and the puppets of the Holy Maiden Temple could not be distinguished from their auras.
The old man grunted.
He was not curious or surprised that Su Xiaoxiao had turned the Saintess into her puppet.
Su Xiaoxiao secretly gave him a thumbs up. He was a cla.s.sic expert who didn’t interfere.
When the three of them returned home, Wei Ting was already awake.
He was thirsty, so Wei Liulang went to the kitchen to boil hot water for him.
He lay on the bed alone and was angry.
After picking the medicine, her father-in-law was saved and she found a master for her beautiful husband. Su Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, so she was happy to coax him.
Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed and sat down. She looked at him without blinking and asked, “Why are you unhappy?
“Hmph.” Wei Ting turned his face away coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to play dumb. “Did you quarrel with Sixth Brother?”
Wei Ting turned around and complained bitterly, “You did it on purpose.” He had already called her Wifev, but she still told Sixth Brother that he had not recovered his memory!
Su Xiaoxiao was embarra.s.sing him.
Alright, she was addicted to playing.
“Who asked you to tease me first?”
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips.
Wei Ting wanted to say something but hesitated, unable to refute her.
Su Xiaoxiao stopped while she was ahead. She pulled his arm and smiled. “Don’t be angry. How about compensating you with a master?” Wei Ting, who suddenly had a master, was speechless.
At night, Su Xiaoxiao prepared to refine medicine for Wei Xu.
There was an alchemy furnace in the old man’s room, so she did not take out the alchemy furnace in the pharmacy, lest she could not explain where the furnace came from later.
She went to the pharmacy to pluck the Snake Bone Flower.
This Snake Bone f]Flower was extremely big, even bigger than the one she had used to treat Second Brother’s cold. It was unknown if the medicinal effect was better.
Wei Liulang came over to help her. Seeing how busy she was, he advised,
“Xiaoxiao, actually, there’s no hurry for a night. Do it tomorrow. Go rest first.”
The fertilizer in the pharmacy was too effective. If the Snake Bone Flower bloomed quickly, it would definitely wilt quickly. She was afraid that there would not even be petals left tomorrow.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s fine, Sixth Brother. I’m not sleepy.”
She refined the pills until the latter half of the night. There were a total of ten pills, each round and plump.
Su Xiaoxiao sealed the pills in a box and handed it to Wei Liulang. “Sixth Brother, I originally planned to treat Dad after returning to the capital, but I thought about it carefully. Dad’s internal injuries can’t be delayed anymore. Bring the pills back tomorrow. One pill a day. Just get him to chew them. Also, bring the Saintess back.”
Wei Liulang was puzzled. “Why should I bring her back?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Zongzheng Wei has just regained the throne. The six tribes are still at the border. With the support of the Holy Maiden Temple, he can stabilize the situation better.”
It was true that Yin Xiaodie was the new Saintess, but before the handover ceremony was held, Cheng Qingyao’s status in the Holy Maiden Temple was still irreplaceable.
In addition, it was time for Cheng Qingyao’s hidden power to come in handy.
Wei Liulang understood. “Alright, hurry up and rest. I’ll clean up.” The men of the Wei family were definitely unequivocal in taking care of the women.
They did not put on airs. Everyone had rolled around in the military camp and knew how to do these jobs.
After breakfast the next day, Wei Liulang set off with the pills and the Saintess.
The last time Zong Zhengming carried out a citywide search, Wei Xu, Zong Zhenghui, and the Saintess were hidden in the lotus pond in the Holy Maiden Temple by Elder Lou.
At that time, it was raining heavily overnight and the water was filled with ripples. The three of them hid for a long time without being discovered.
After the Yulin Army checked, the elders and disciples of the Holy Maiden Temple carried out another round of search. This time, they found the lotus pond.
However, it was Elder Lou and Yin Xiaodie who brought people to investigate.
Then, Elder Lou brought the three of them back to her secret room.
Wei Xu had been in seclusion in the secret room to recuperate for a few days before returning to Changliu Lane this morning.
Wei Liulang hurriedly took the pills to his father’s room.
On the other side, the Saintess returned to the Holy Maiden Temple.
Many people in the Holy Maiden Temple were suspicious about Zongzheng Wei taking back the throne.
The elders, the head envoy, Yin Xiaodie, and the Saintess sat in the meeting hall and discussed this matter.
Elder Ji asked, “Saintess Cheng, is that king from before really fake?” “Yes,” the Saintess said.
Elder Yue asked unhappily, “Since you knew, why didn’t you inform us?”
The Saintess said, “It’s a matter of great importance. The fewer people who know, the better. This is to prevent the news from leaking.”
Elder Ji mocked, “I think you want to take the credit alone, right? You’ve been unwilling to hand over the position to the new Saintess for a long time and even secretly roped in forces. Now, you’re helping His Majesty take back the throne. Perhaps His Majesty will be happy and let you be re-elected.”
The Saintess said, “I came to the Saint Lady Temple this time to hand over to the new Saintess. After abdicating, I won’t continue to stay in the Saintess
Temple as an elder.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Yin Xiaodie did not know the inside story, so she was also very shocked.
She only thought that Cheng Qingyao and Cheng Su had joined forces for a short time because they had both chosen to be loyal to the true King of the Southern Wilderness.
Elder Lou asked, “Have you thought it through?”
“I’ve thought about it,” the Saintess said.
Elder Ji and Elder Yue choked.
It was impossible to say that the Holy Maiden was selfish now.
When Zongzheng Ming was in power, he gave the Saintess more power. Now that she didn’t want anything and unconditionally sent Zongzheng Wei back to the throne, who could doubt that Zongzheng Wei wasn’t the True Dragon Emperor?
The people of the southern border believed in the G.o.ds.
Yin Xiaodie and the Saintess co-hosted a heavenly gift ceremony.
During the ceremony, Zongzheng Wei kowtowed to the Heavenly G.o.d and lit a long incense. It was the order of the Heavenly G.o.d.
Zongzheng Wei was the true Son of Heaven.
The commoners knelt down in unison and shouted, “Long live His Majesty.”
The six tribes were still at the border. Zongzheng Wei invited the two legitimate sons of the Yue family and the Ji family into the palace and invited the Grand Tutor to teach them in the name of nurturing the pillars of the Southern Wilderness.
Zongzheng Wei’s att.i.tude was very clear. “Go and recall the tribes under your command. If you recall them, your sons will be conferred officials and n.o.bles. If you can’t summon them, your sons will be dealt with as being part of the rebellion. ”
As for the two tribes that were originally under the Cheng family, after Zongzheng Ming died, they were leaderless. As long as the Yue and Ji families submitted, they were naturally not stupid enough to continue to serve a dead fake king.
Moreover, Zongzheng Wei had returned the Cheng family’s mine to Cheng Sang.
With the military salary in hand, was there a need to be afraid that they could
not be summoned back?
