"I donât know, itâs just that my nose suddenly got itchy. Itâs nothing, letâs continue. I believe the disaster relief funds are most likely in the Princeâs Mansion. Since Xunyang is colluding with the prince, those funds are definitely in the princeâs hands!"
Zhu Xiuxiu casually rubbed her nose twice, said it was nothing, and continued discussing the case.
The new year is approaching. If they donât recover the relief funds soon, they might not be able to spend the new year with Xiaosuisui this year.
Zhu Xiuxiu was thinking about returning to the Capital City for the new year, but little did she know, at this very moment, Xiaosuisui was figuring out how to assign her a task!
And she would certainly not be able to return for the new year this year.
"Achoo!"
Zhu Xiuxiu sneezed again. Huo XingâEr and the others glanced at her, about to express their concern, but then saw Zhu Xiuxiuâs head tilt as she fell asleep.
"Xiuxiu!"
Huo XingâEr, Princess Ata, and Ji Youze were momentarily startled, but then they calmed down!
"Could it be that the Great Hanâs eldest princess has pulled the third madam into the Dream Realm?"
Princess Ata, seeing Zhu Xiuxiu like this, immediately thought of the time she was pulled into the Dream Realm by Xiaosuisui.
"You also know about Xiaosuisuiâs Dream Realm?"
Huo XingâEr and Ji Youze asked her in unison.
"Yes, the eldest princess pulled me in before!"
"I see."
Hearing Princess Ataâs words, Huo XingâEr found a reason, but still stood guard for Zhu Xiuxiu.
"I wonder what Xiaosuisui wants with your third sister-in-law?
With her and my elder brotherâs speed, they should have reached the Capital City by now if they traveled day and night."
Huo XingâEr began to worry.
"The letter my elder brother received said that the eldest sister-in-lawâs baby bump is unstable. Xiaosuisui looking for the third sister-in-law is probably related to the eldest sister-in-law."
Ji Youze also began to worry.
Silently praying, hoping that the news Xiaosuisui told Zhu Xiuxiu wasnât bad news.
The news Xiaosuisui told Zhu Xiuxiu wasnât exactly good, but it wasnât bad either.
Just... tricky!
Very tricky!
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Zhu Xiuxiu looked at the little milk bun in front of her, with an instant impulse to spank her!
"I said, the little brother and sister in the eldest auntâs belly need the Spiritual Qi from the Eastern Pearl, but these pearls are hard to find. Aunt said there are several in the Xiling Imperial Palace.
Would you go to the Xiling Imperial Palace, bring back all the Eastern Pearls?"
"Ji Suisui! Do you know what youâre saying?
Do you know that our Great Han is at war with Xiling?
Can I just take things from the Xiling Imperial Palace?"
Zhu Xiuxiu was at a loss for words at how angry she was.
This little girlâs brain, who knows whatâs inside?
She really wanted to crack it open and take a look!
"But if the third aunt doesnât go, the little brother and sister in the eldest uncleâs belly will be in danger." The little girl pouted, her voice muffled, "If the third aunt is unwilling to go, then Iâll go to Xiling myself."
"Stop! You stay obediently at home and donât go anywhere. Isnât it just the Xiling Imperial Palace? Let me think!"
Hearing Xiaosuisui say sheâd just as well go to the Xiling Palace herself, Zhu Xiuxiuâs hair stood on end.
This little girl went to Xianyu Pass once, and came up with a grand wish for the whole world, making Ji Old Eight as busy as a dog!
If she goes to Xiling again, who knows what mess sheâll create this time!
"Oh!"
Seeing that the third aunt was frazzled, Xiaosuisui obediently gave an "Oh", and instantly showed a very well-behaved appearance.
"Then I wonât go. Third aunt, you must be quick, the little brother and sister in the eldest auntâs belly canât wait!"
Xiaosuisui urged Zhu Xiuxiu.
"I know, I know. Once I get the things, Iâll immediately send them to the Capital City. Quickly send me out.
We are discussing important matters!"
Xiaosuisui nodded and quickly sent Zhu Xiuxiu out.
"How are you, third sister-in-law!
What did Suisui want from you?
Did she have any good news to share?"
Seeing Zhu Xiuxiu awake, Huo XingâEr quickly asked.
"Good news?
Itâs really a huge good news; the little girl gave me a very difficult task, a life-risking job."
"?"
Everyone looked at her, puzzled.
"What kind of task? Did Suisui encounter any difficulties?"
Huo XingâEr frowned. Lately, celestial phenomena had been strange, and she often couldnât make sense of them, always suspecting they might be related to Xiaosuisui!
"Do you know?
She wants me to fetch treasures from the Xiling Imperial Palace and to return the treasures to the Capital City in a short time!"
Zhu Xiuxiu rubbed her temples, utterly helpless!
"What treasure? Doesnât our Great Han have any?
Why do we need to go to the Xiling Imperial Palace, how dangerous could that be!"
