Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Imprisonment Curse

Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. "So, if I don’t tell you to leave, you’re just going to keep squatting up there, waiting until Pretty Sister masters her hidden weapons before you go?"

Xiaobai rubbed its little snout against Xiaosuisui’s palm emphatically, as if to say: Yes, yes! That’s exactly what Master was thinking!

Xiaosuisui patted her forehead. "Well then, you just go ahead and keep squatting there. Let Pretty Sister continue her practice!"

Xiaobai: "..."

Master is really throwing curveballs here!

Xie Pan’Er was equally speechless. "I thought you would say that Xiaobai doesn’t need to accompany my practice anymore and can go off to play!"

Upon hearing that, Xiaosuisui blinked and said, "It’s great to have Xiaobai for company! For now, Xiaobai will stand still obediently while Pretty Sister practices. After Pretty Sister can hit the apple on its back, then it can run while Sister shoots!"

As she said this, Xie Pan’Er’s mouth fell open, and Xiaobai felt even more like wailing but could find no tears.

It looked at Xie Pan’Er with a gaze full of utter despair and pleading.

Miraculously, Xie Pan’Er seemed to understand. Xiaobai was clearly begging her for mercy!

"Princess! I’m not like you; I’m too slow at learning things. We can’t joke with Xiaobai’s life!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui blinked, about to say something. Just then, Yunxiang arrived with news. "Princess, Eldest Miss, someone from the Palace has arrived. It’s a man from the Imperial Medical Bureau. He said that the Seventh Prince sent him to escort the Eldest Princess to the Palace, and asked that she bring some treasured, life-saving Medicine Pills."

Upon hearing Yunxiang’s words, Xie Pan’Er quickly glanced at Xiaosuisui. "Princess, did you understand what Yunxiang just said?"

Xiaosuisui, whose intelligence had recently sharpened, clearly understood Yunxiang’s words. She nodded and said, "The life-saving Medicine Pills my Second Maternal Uncle gave me are in my little pouch! Let’s go! We’re going to the Palace!"

As Xiaosuisui stood up to leave, Xie Pan’Er quickly followed. Xiaobai ran over and blocked Xie Pan’Er’s path.

Xie Pan’Er picked it up and looked into its eyes, understanding what it meant: Suisui hadn’t yet lifted its restriction!

Restriction?

Xie Pan’Er pondered the word, and a flash of understanding lit up her mind, as if she had figured something out!

"Princess, please wait!"

Xiaosuisui, who had reached the doorway, stopped and turned to look at her. "What is it, Pretty Sister?"

Xie Pan’Er pointed to Xiaobai, nestled in her arms, and said with a light chuckle, "Why don’t we bring Xiaobai with us to the Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui nodded cheerfully. "Okay, okay!"

Xiaobai gratefully nuzzled Xie Pan’Er’s small hand.

Xie Pan’Er felt utterly helpless. Xiaosuisui’s words, truly a double-edged sword—a source of both fortune and trouble, and so very headache-inducing!

Exiting the Ji Mansion, Huo Xing’Er was already waiting.

"Second Aunt!"

Upon seeing Huo Xing’Er, Xiaosuisui joyfully extended her arms, asking for a hug.

"Your maternal grandmother was worried you might be detained after entering the Palace, so she asked me to accompany you."

Huo Xing’Er scooped Xiaosuisui into her arms, turned, and boarded the carriage.

Xie Pan’Er followed into the carriage holding Xiaobai, and Xiaobai immediately burrowed into its master’s embrace.

"Why did you bring it along too?" Huo Xing’Er asked, frowning at Xiaobai.

Xie Pan’Er explained with a helpless expression, "The Princess cast a restriction spell on it, and it won’t be lifted until its purpose is achieved. Xiaobai is also very playful by nature. It said being confined alone in the courtyard was too unbearable, so it begged me to bring it along to the Palace."

Hearing this, Huo Xing’Er marveled, "You can already communicate with Xiaobai without any barriers?"

Huo Xing’Er could tell from Xie Pan’Er’s features that she had the countenance of a future mother of the nation, but for some reason, her fortune always seemed to fall short.
