Su Su said: "There is no need to explain. My young lady said that Mr. Xue may not be sincere to her, so it is better to let this marriage go."

After she said that, she turned around and entered the house.

When Xue Jinruo walked slowly to the entrance of the palace, she saw Sheng Jingze far away. She thought something was going on in the Xue family's affairs.

His originally slow steps became brisk, and he ran up to Sheng Jingze in a few steps and asked, "Your Majesty, has the Xue family's affairs made any progress?"

"There has been no progress yet." Sheng Jingze felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "I am just worried about causing some trouble in the palace, so I came here to take a look."

Xue Jinruo suddenly remembered that just now Sheng Chengjie said that he was a troublemaker, and now Sheng Jingze also said so. Did he really like to cause trouble?

She was dazed, and Sheng Jingze naturally noticed it, frowned and said, "No way? You're not really going to cause trouble again, are you?"

"No!" Xue Jinruo curled his lips impatiently, not really wanting to discuss this matter with Sheng Jingze.

"That's good." Sheng Jingze was obviously relieved, and Xue Jinruo couldn't help but grit his teeth.

However, she suppressed the impatience in her heart, approached Sheng Jingze and said, "It's just that I discovered that many of the things Sheng Chengjie did, there was a person behind the scenes who made suggestions."

"Who is it?" Sheng Jingze raised his eyebrows in interest and asked.

"Sheng Jiaojiao." Xue Jinruo replied, but her resentful eyes from before came to mind again, and she couldn't help but froze.

"I see, then you should pay attention to safety when investigating. Sheng Chengjie can only be regarded as a reckless man. If this person had a brain, it would indeed be a bit difficult to deal with, and Sheng Jiaojiao is probably his brain. " Sheng Jingze pondered for a while, and then told Xue Jinruo to pay attention to safety, just like when he sent her to the palace before.

Xue Jinruo was still confused, but remembering Sheng Jingze's nagging look before, she stopped asking any more questions. She was worried that he would mess up her hair again.

"Since the prince is not here to tell me about the Xue family, I will go back to Fengyi Palace first. I am very tired today."

After that, Sheng Jingze took a carriage back to the Regent's Palace, and Xue Jinruo hurried back to Fengyi Palace.

The next morning.

Sheng Jingze was still sleeping deeply when he heard hurried footsteps outside. The servants came with news that His Majesty summoned Sheng Jingze into the palace urgently.

"It's broken, something big must have happened."

Sheng Jingze groaned and hurried towards the palace.

……

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Sheng Jingze asked directly after seeing the emperor. After all, there were only two of them in the court, so there was no need for those complicated etiquette.

"Have you ever heard of a black pimple style thing that has recently emerged in the capital?" His Majesty asked after pondering for a while.

"Coal briquettes?" Sheng Jingze thought for a while and realized that he had indeed not received any reports in this regard. However, as the New Year is approaching recently, many people are buying briquettes to prepare for winter heating.

"If it were briquettes, I wouldn't have to rush you into the palace so early in the morning. I heard that this stuff is addictive. You'll feel like you're about to die after eating it. I don't know who introduced it, and it's so expensive. Gold has caused many people to lose their wealth." His Majesty sighed and told Sheng Jingze the whole story.

After hearing this, he frowned and analyzed: "The mastermind behind this is really smart. Now is the time to buy briquettes on a large scale, and this thing is so similar to briquettes. It seems that it has been planned for a long time."

"I'll leave this matter to you to investigate. It involves people's wealth. You have to do your best to catch the mastermind behind it as soon as possible." His Majesty listened to Sheng Jingze's analysis, nodded and ordered.

"Yes." Sheng Jingze agreed.

His Majesty saw him preparing to retreat, and suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "We still don't know how this thing got into the capital, but you have to investigate it carefully."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best." Sheng Jingze cupped his hand again and then retreated.

After returning to the carriage, he rubbed his swollen head and said that things had been really eventful recently and he was a little overwhelmed.

After thinking for a while, he thought of the two brothers of the Xue family, so he ordered someone to invite the two brothers.

The three of them met at Chunfeng Restaurant. After listening to Sheng Jingze's talk about the black pimples, Xue Sijian frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I heard students from our college mention it. This thing is indeed widely circulated, but To buy it requires special access, and ordinary people still can’t buy it.”

"What kind of special connection is this?" Sheng Jingze asked hurriedly, not expecting that Xue Sijian actually knew some information.

"I don't know more about it. I heard it accidentally before. I only remembered it when you mentioned it now, but Cui Zige should know about it." Xue Sijian shook his head and replied.

"Cui Zige?" Sheng Jingze groaned, thinking about going to Cui's house.

As soon as he stood up, the waiter came over and said: "Three guests, please wait a moment. Today is the anniversary of our Chunfeng Restaurant. All customers who enter the restaurant will be given a bottle of our signature wine - Yinchan."

As he spoke, he put a pot of wine on the table, and then said: "I would also like to invite three customers to try it. If they like it, please come back more in the future."

"What a coincidence?" Sheng Jingze laughed when he heard this.

"It's really a coincidence." The waiter also laughed, turned around and left.

Sheng Jingze looked around at the tables around him and saw the same wine. It seemed that what the waiter said was indeed true.

"It's quite fragrant." Xue Siliang took the wine bottle and smelled it, then thought about pouring himself a glass to taste. He was a wine lover, but now he couldn't walk away from the road to fine wine.

"Brother, Your Majesty, will you two join me for a drink?" Xue Siliang poured down three glasses of wine as he spoke and said to the other two.

Xue Sijian waved his hands and declined: "I won't drink it if I have something to do later, but this wine is indeed very fragrant. If I have time, I will try it again in the future."

"It doesn't matter if you have a glass of wine." Xue Siliang persuaded him. Seeing Xue Sijian's repeated refusals, he had no choice but to give up and pick up the wine glass to greet Sheng Jingze.

Sheng Jingze's quick eyesight and quick hands knocked the wine out of his hand, and also threw the pot of wine on the table to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
