Su Han ran to the door of Xiao Muting's room early in the morning, leaned against the door frame, lowered his head, put his hands behind his back, and lightly rubbed his feet on the ground.
It wasn't until breakfast was put on the table that Xiao Muting walked back from the backyard with a sword in hand, and saw her face wrinkled with a deep expression.
"What's going on?" He called to Siyu who was walking over.
Siyu smiled softly: "Replying to Your Highness, the princess has been waiting for Your Highness all morning. She may have something to say, but she didn't think about how to say it, so she stood at the door and refused to let you in."
Xiao Muting nodded and strode towards her.
"Why did you get up so early today? Do you want to have breakfast with me?" he asked with a smile.
Su Han raised his head and was about to answer when he looked at the silver sword in his hand. His eyes suddenly widened and flashed with excitement.
Xiao Muting also had a smile in his eyes. Seeing how interested she was, he deliberately raised his sword in front of her.
"Want to take a look?"
"May I?"
"certainly!"
Su Han didn't answer it, but stretched out his hand to touch the scabbard gently.
This is an antique sword, it is very valuable!
Xiao Muting just looked at her with a warm smile on his face, looking so cherished.
But she had no idea what she was thinking in her heart.
She took him into the hall, washed up and sat next to her, placing a bowl of porridge in front of her.
"What do you want to tell me about the king?"
"Well... it's just... um... I, I want to... go back home!" After Su Han finished speaking, he buried his head in the porridge bowl without raising his head.
"Huh?" Xiao Muting was puzzled.
Why does she want to go home again? Is she really so unwilling to stay here?
Su Han raised her head slightly and looked at him. Seeing that his face was not good and there was a cold expression in his eyes, she took a deep breath and decided to die.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at him: "I want to go home to find something. It's something my mother left for me. I remembered a little bit. I want to get it back, and I can't leave it there!"
"What?" Xiao Muting frowned slightly.
What she wanted was something that he didn't have in his house. Even if it wasn't there, as long as she could describe it, he could still find it for her. Why would she have to go back to that hellish place to look for it?
Su Han shook his head: "I can't remember what it is specifically, but it must be something. My mother left it to me. Even Su Wen...my father doesn't know about it. If Aunt Shen hadn't reminded me yesterday,
I don’t even remember it.”
Xiao Muting seemed to understand, and nodded to her: "If you are not in a hurry, just wait for two days before we go, and I will make arrangements."
After saying that, he put some vegetables in her bowl.
Su Han smiled and nodded: "Don't be too anxious. Unless he demolishes the house and digs again, he won't be able to find it. I think his mother didn't treat him as one of her own. Otherwise, how could he hide it so secretly?"
.”
After she finished speaking, she happily ate her meal and gave Xiao Muting a chopstick of food. When he looked over, he grinned at her to express his gratitude.
Xiao Muting went to the study after dinner and sent someone to call Bai Qingyang to the study to tell him what Su Han brought up today and what she said.
"What do you think Han'er's mother will leave something important for her?" Xiao Muting looked at Bai Qingyang.
Bai Qingyang stroked his beard, rolled his eyes, and then shook his head: "It's hard to say, this junior sister of mine is just a willful sister who was spoiled by us senior brothers and sisters. She is talented and smart.
She is deeply loved by the Palace Master, and she is also the daughter of the Palace Master's former junior sister, so she will naturally love her more. However, within half a year after she came down from the mountain, she ran away with Su Wenbin... and even became a concubine. When the master got the news,
Not to mention how shocked he was, the palace master smashed all his favorite glass cups."
Xiao Muting raised her eyebrows slightly: "Maybe it's really not an important thing. It's just something her mother left to her. She just wants to come back. In her mind, if it's hers, she shouldn't leave it to others."
Bai Qingyang nodded: "That's the same reason. However, when junior sister came out of the mountain, she really took two things with her."
"Is it important?" Xiao Muting frowned.
Bai Qingyang nodded: "It's important. It's also a token of the master's sect. If you see this thing, your fellow disciples will help you. There is another thing, the Palace Master Yao Xian Ling."
"What's the use of this thing?" Xiao Muting asked.
Bai Qingyang raised the corner of his mouth bitterly: "As soon as this order is issued, all disciples who are born in Yaoxian Palace must obey orders. If the palace master comes in person, they must not violate it. Anyone who violates it will be punished!"
Xiao Muting frowned again: "If this is really the case, it would be too unfair to Han'er. She doesn't know anything and she was hurt. Why didn't your junior sister transfer this thing back to the master before she died and leave it to her?
She, this is harming her."
Bai Qingyang shook his head slightly again: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, junior sister is very willful. Since she followed Su Wenbin, the palace master also sent people to search for her, but no results were found for three years. It was also ten years ago that she appeared in the capital.
There is news from the Su family, but the people sent did not see her."
"She was already dead at that time?" A trace of gloom flashed in Xiao Muting's eyes.
Bai Qingyang nodded: "Yes, and I also learned that she was not marrying her husband, and that she was not the wife, but a concubine. When this news came back to the master, the palace master was furious and no one was allowed to mention her again.
"
"The most proud disciple turned out to be the one who embarrassed him the most. I can understand your Palace Master's mood, but you really can't turn a blind eye and leave a child as young as Han'er in that magic cellar.
Are you so patient in the same place?" Xiao Muting said angrily.
Bai Qingyang sighed helplessly: "Your Highness doesn't know something. The rules of our sect have always been strict. No one dares to violate the matters decided by the palace master. It was only after I was allowed to leave the mountain that I wandered away for nearly two years.
Those who dare to approach the capital come just to see the situation."
"Indeed, you have never hidden this from me. You have always said that you came to the capital to find someone, but you have never said that this person is the concubine of Su Wenbin's house, and his concubine.
Daughter, if you had told her earlier, you would have taken her out long ago." Xiao Muting gave him a fierce look.
"Fortunately, it's not too late. She is still alive. But junior sister, will she really leave such an important thing to her? Does she know what the consequences will be once the princess gets this thing!" Bai Qingyang closed in a conflicted tone.
"Your Highness, that palace master's token is the succession order, and the holder will be the next palace master of Yaoxian Palace!" Bai Qingyang looked at him in embarrassment.
Xiao Muting was stunned at first, and then snorted coldly: "Would your sect want a fool to be the master of the palace?"
"It's true, then it'll be fine. If you find it, just hand it back." Bai Qingyang clapped his hands and laughed.
Once again, Xiao Muting received a rude and disgusted look.
