Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

The old man pecked his head with his fingers and said, "I can't even remember anything about the Ghost Army."

Soon, his forehead was pecked red. Grand Tutor Zhou felt sorry for him and said, "If you can't remember, forget it. The children are all promising. You and I, two old bones, can help a little."

Su Heting also said, "We can still handle it for now, don't worry."

The three of them talked for a while, and then Su Que came over with Qiao Xi.

The old man slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, I forgot to ask them to go shopping."

He also had to buy gifts for the younger generations of the Zhou family. He extended his hand and said, "Grandson, give me some money?"

It turned out to be the same as before.

Su Heting took out a few silver bills from his pocket and handed them to him. Seeing that the conversation was almost over, he said goodbye to Grand Tutor Zhou and said that he would accompany them for a walk.

Grand Tutor Zhou naturally agreed.

Originally, Zhou Chongwu and his wife were arranged to accompany him, but the old man felt that everyone in Jiangning knew them, and it would be less free for them to accompany him than for him to travel around on his own, so he refused.

After leaving the Zhou residence, Su Que approached the old man and asked, "Grandfather, were you eavesdropping again?"

When the old man said he wanted to ask Su Heting for money, Su Que was in Qiao Xi's room and saw with his own eyes that Qiao Xi gave the old man money.

However, the old man refused to take Qiao Xi's, saying that he was going to take out Su Heting's private money. As a result, he did not come back for a long time.

She knew that the old man had a habit of lying on the roof, and was worried that he would be discovered by the Zhou family, which would make things difficult for Su Heting, so she dragged Qiao Xi to look for him.

The old man had indeed eavesdropped, and it triggered some memories. He didn't want to reveal his secrets in front of his granddaughter, so he said vaguely, "It's all because of your brother's stinginess. He asked for some money and bargained for it. It wasted a lot of time."

Su Heting, "..."

Now that I know that the old man is the commander-in-chief of the Ghost Army, I finally understand where his habit of eavesdropping came from.

Isn't it one of the daily tasks of the ghost army to walk in the dark and gather information?

Thinking that this was probably just a habit, I silently took the blame for him.

Unexpectedly, the old man still felt it was not enough, and squeezed in between Qiao Xi and Su Que, and said to Qiao Xi, "Xi Baoer, I tell you, this man can't have private money. Once he has money, he will easily become bad.

Grandfather is helping you nip this problem in the bud, but this kid isn't cooperating, so you should keep him under control."

It was his grandson who was raised by him, but he came to Jiangning and was closer to him than the third brother.

He felt jealous and uncomfortable, so he wanted to find fault, and the only thing he could do was bully his grandson.

"That's what my grandfather said."

Su Heting handed a stack of banknotes to Qiao Xi with an expressionless face, "I originally wanted to give it to grandfather as a subsidy. Since grandfather can't use it, Xi'er, keep it."

The old man stared at the thick stack of banknotes and swallowed hard, "Can I take back what I just said?"

"No."

"No."

"No."

Qiao Xi and the other two spoke at the same time.

The old man wailed, "Filial piety, filial piety..."

The three pretended not to hear. The old man was so angry that he jumped onto Su Heting's back, hugged his neck tightly and wouldn't let go. He collapsed on his back and said in a low voice, "I can't walk anymore. Carry me on your back."

Su Heting's heart suddenly ached.

The old man always looks full of energy. The reason he is like this today is probably because the memories of the past are making him uncomfortable, but he doesn't want to show it.

He did not refuse and carried the person steadily on his back.

The situation here was soon reported to Grand Tutor Zhou. After hearing it, Grand Tutor Zhou showed a bitter look on his face and waved his hand to let the people go.

Qiao Xi and his group strolled around until dark before returning to Zhou's house. At night, they had dinner together again.

After returning to the room, Su Heting asked someone to get hot water for Qiao Xi to soak her feet.

He remembered that Qiao Xi was going to have her period in the next two days, so he soaked her feet in advance so that she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable when her period came.

This was the method he had learned from Lai Kujiao, and he also added the medicinal powder made by Lai Kujiao into the foot-bathing water.

Qiao Xi thought the water was too hot, so she asked him to take off his shoes and socks and put his feet in, and then she stepped on his feet.

She has been like this all the way, and Su Heting has become accustomed to it.

Their knees touched each other, and Su Heting whispered to her about the old man.

"Then wasn't Grandfather just pretending to be happy this afternoon?"

The old man pestered Su Heting to carry him all the way. When they got to the street, he took Fubao shopping everywhere. If Su Heting hadn't said it, Qiao Xi really wouldn't have realized that he had something on his mind.

Now that she knew, she felt a little distressed and worried. As an outsider, she felt uncomfortable hearing those things, let alone the old man.

"Grandfather has his own plans. He's been through a lot and will adjust himself."

The water temperature was no longer so hot, so Su Heting bent down and soaked Qiao Xi's feet in the water.

Then he said slowly, "However, we should be nicer to Grandfather from now on and spend more time with him."

He has been busy driving out the barbarians and governing the northern border in recent years, and he feels that he has not cared enough about the old man.

In the past, the old man had no memories and lived happily. He only needed to send secret guards to follow him and take care of him.

Now that he knew so many heavy past events, he was afraid that the old man must be depressed and painful in private. It would be better if they, the younger generations, were always by his side.

Qiao Xiben was grateful to the old man for taking care of the prince over the years.

Now that I know that the old man has long known that the soul in this body has been replaced, and still treats the prince as his grandson, I am naturally even more grateful.

Besides, the old man has always been so good to her.

She nodded heavily. "The people who came to pick you up from the capital have already left. Let's rest here for a few days and then return to northern Xinjiang."

The sooner we get to the capital, the sooner we can take revenge.

To avenge them is also to avenge the old man.

Her next target is Cao Ying.

Thinking of Cao Ying, she suddenly thought of something, "Do you think there is another master behind Cao Ying?"

"how do I say this?"

Qiao Xi took out the jade cicada from her waist pouch, "It's very suspicious that she kept this privately."

Su Heting looked at the jade cicada. Qiao Xi had shown this thing to him long before the two of them revealed their identities, and also told him her guess about the jade cicada.

"If the Jade Cicada is related to summoning the ghost army, then Cao Ying secretly kept it without the emperor's knowledge, which is indeed problematic.

Perhaps by following her lead, we can find the person who truly harmed the Ghost Army."

That’s what Qiao Xi thought.

Su Heting put the jade cicada back on her and tied it back around her waist. "The water is cold."

He picked up Qiao Xi's feet from the water and skillfully picked up a towel to wipe them.

Although Qiao Xi's feet are small and delicate, they are white and plump, as if made of jade. Su Heting likes them very much.

In addition, Qiao Xi was ticklish, so when wiping her, he always liked to rub the soles of her feet a few more times in a naughty way.

Qiao Xi was used to the prince's care. They were already husband and wife when they met. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Heting doing these things like wiping feet and twisting hair. Instead, she enjoyed it very much.

Every time she felt itchy, she couldn't help but glare at him, but that glare was weak and not only had no deterrent effect, but instead made Su Heting feel numb inside.

But now that he is in someone else's home, no matter how beautiful his feelings are, he will not do anything.

What's more, there was a person squatting on the roof. He wrapped Qiao Xi's feet tightly with a cloth, and then looked at the roof.

The old man was discovered and muttered, "Huckster."

Su Heting was helpless, "Didn't my grandfather say that men should love their wives?"

The old man jumped off the roof and waited outside the door for a while. He waited until Qiao Xi had put on her shoes before pushing the door open and going in.

He had that smiling face again, "It hurts, but it won't stop the old man from scolding you."

Su Heting called out, Xiaoman came in and took the water out. The door was closed by Chen Shan. Qiao Xi also poured tea for the old man and brought some snacks.

Su Heting just asked, "Grandfather came here at night, is there something wrong?"

The old man took a sip of tea and a bite of fried fruit before saying, "Shoushan is a hill near the imperial mausoleum."
