"My Lord, why don't you see Yan Qing and the others?"

"Yan Qing went to the Ministry of Justice to check on the situation, and Yun Ting went to check on Mu Lang."

"Liu Fang should be released by the emperor!" Worried that Xiao Yu was tired, Su Lingyue got up from Xiao Yu and sat back in the chair she was sitting on.

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Climbing over the wall is not a small matter that can bring down Liu Fang. I just want to make it difficult for people with bad intentions to act rashly."

"Ah Qing said she saw two people yesterday. The other one must be Han Feng! She has ulterior motives. Your Highness, are you planning to just ignore her?"

There was anger and disgust in Su Lingyue's words.

Xiao Yu did not explain, but looked at Su Lingyue, his dark eyes looking at her, and asked: "Yue'er, what do you think of replacing the position of the commander of the imperial guards with someone else?"

Su Lingyue calmed down and thought carefully about what Xiao Yu said. After thinking for a while, she replied, "The Imperial Guards can directly control the capital and the palace, which is very important. If Han Feng is eliminated and there is no suitable person to take over, if it falls into the hands of others, it will be difficult to control."

"exactly."

"That's why Han Feng is so fearless!"

Su Lingyue remembered that it was because of Han Feng, Sima Changfeng, the emperor and her father that Xiao Yu became so seriously ill, and she became angry.

Xiao Yu held Su Lingyue's hand in his palm and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will replace him when the time comes."

"Yeah." Su Lingyue nodded.

Xiao Yu had been on guard against Han Feng, so she felt relieved.

"Where is Yunting going to check on Mulang?"

"Ministry of Rites. For the emperor's birthday, envoys from other countries need to report it one month in advance."

Going to the Ministry of Rites to check is one way, and another way may be more intuitive.

Su Lingyue asked, "Your Majesty, how about we set off early in the afternoon and ask Zhao Xingzhou first?"

Xiao Yu nodded, "That's exactly what I meant."

After lunch, Su Lingyue took Xiao Yu to Zhao Xingzhou's business.

Seeing Su Lingyue and Xiao Yu coming over, Zhao Xingzhou bowed and asked, "Why did your Highness and Princess come so early? There is still more than half an hour before the agreed time."

"There are some things I want to ask Mr. Zhao."

"What is it?"

"The prince and I want to ask about Mu Lang."

The three of them came to the private room of the teahouse opposite the business. After the waiter served a pot of Longjing tea, he closed the door and left.

After Zhao Xingzhou poured tea for Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue, he asked, "What do you want to know, my Lord and Princess?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Tell me how you and Mu Lang met."

Zhao Xingzhou began to tell the story of how he and Mu Lang met.

Five years ago, Zhao Xingzhou followed his father to Ping'an Town, the border town between Daning and Xiliang.

Ping'an Town has a flat terrain, and most of the trade between the two countries takes place here.

It was also here that he met Mu Lang.

The two met in a very ordinary way, just a normal barter, and later they had a very pleasant conversation. Because of their friendship, the unique brocade of the Mulang family was only sold to Zhao Xingzhou.

This time Mu Lang came here to deliver Yunjin to Zhao Xingzhou and to visit the capital city at the same time.

Xiao Yu stroked the cup in his hand, his eyes slightly gloomy. After listening to Zhao Xingzhou's story, he asked, "Do you know who else is in his family?"

"During our casual chat, he mentioned that he has parents, an older brother, a younger sister, and a younger brother, all of whom are running the family business in Xiliang."

Everything was normal, nothing unusual.

Zhao Xingzhou looked at Xiao Yu in confusion. He was looking at the cup in front of him, obviously thinking about something.

"Why does the prince want to ask about Mu Lang?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and said calmly: "Nothing, I just heard that he is from Xiliang Country and entered my palace. It won't hurt to get to know him."

Seeing Xiao Yu say this, Zhao Xingzhou also breathed a sigh of relief.

Prince Su is a member of the royal family. If other countries did something in the palace that could easily bring disaster, he was careless that day.

He said apologetically: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was inconsiderate that day. Mu Lang followed me the whole time and did not leave alone. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"That's good."

Xiao Yu knew that Su Lingyue arranged Jiang Siqi to look after Mu Lang, and he was reassured by Su Lingyue's meticulous mind.

Su Lingyue listened to what Xiao Yu and Zhao Xingzhou said and thought of Ping'an Town.

"Mr. Zhao, is the Ping'an Town you are talking about guarded by General Qin Bingyu?"

Zhao Xingzhou nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just heard about it and asked." Su Lingyue smiled perfunctorily.

In her previous life, in the fourth year after she married Xiao Changshi, the Qin family was executed for treason. At that time, Qin Wan Ning had been dead for more than a year.

In her previous life, she was trapped in a deep house. After her only friend Qin Wan Ning died, she had no friends and spent all her time thinking about restoring her appearance and pleasing Xiao Changshi. When she heard about the Qin family's disaster, the Qin family had already been wiped out.

Although she did not understand what was going on in the court, the western border guarded by the Qin family had always been peaceful.

Su Lingyue was unwilling to believe that the Qin family would rebel against the general who had dedicated his entire family to the Western Border.

Now, when he heard about Ping'an Town again, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he also wanted to save the Qin family.

Judging from the time, there are still three years left, which is enough time for her to find out the whole story.

But before that, what she had to do was to find medicine for Xiao Yu.

They sat for a while, and Wang Yirong arrived at the private room of the teahouse on time.

When he arrived at the private room and pushed open the door, he saw Xiao Yu, Su Lingyue and Zhao Xingzhou there. He was startled at first, then he probably guessed something and bowed to Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Su, and greetings to the Princess!"

Su Lingyue said calmly, "Ms. Wang, please stand up. I asked you to come out this time, and I only borrowed Mr. Zhao's name to avoid trouble."

Wang Yirong smiled softly, "Yes, I understand."

He then looked at Zhao Xingzhou and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhao, your mission has been completed. Please step aside from now on."

Wang Yirong looked indifferent, and there was no warmth in her eyes.

Zhao Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, and a breath of air rose in his heart, making him feel extremely suffocated. He wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Su Lingyue saw Zhao Xingzhou's silence and explained, "Mr. Zhao, you really shouldn't know what happens next."

"Okay, you guys chat, I'll leave first." Zhao Xingzhou stood up, bowed to Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue, glanced at Wang Yirong, and left the private room.

"Miss Wang, no need to be so polite!" Xiao Yu said indifferently.

Wang Yirong nodded and sat down opposite Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue.

"I wonder what the prince and princess want me to do today?"

Su Lingyue thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder how Miss Wang has been doing at home since returning from Longhua Temple. Has your father taken action against you?"

Wang Yirong said calmly: "Something happened at home before, and my father had no time to take care of me, so it was okay."

Su Lingyue wanted to know the situation in their house. After hearing what Wang Yirong said, she had a rough idea in her mind.

In this case, there is another thing to confirm, "I wonder if Miss Wang's words still count in the current situation?"

"Of course it counts."

"Okay, since Miss Wang said so, I would like to ask Miss Wang to draw a map of the mansion."

Su Lingyue signaled to Caidie and took out the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone that the waiter had prepared in advance.

Wang Yirong glanced at Su Lingyue and without hesitation, picked up the brush and started drawing.

After a while, she finished drawing the map of their house. She calmly put down her pen and handed the drawing to Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue took a look and found that it was the same as the one drawn by Yan Qing.

She handed the blueprint to Xiao Yu, who took it and looked at it, then raised his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Miss Wang once said that your father has a secret room, and you have to take out the things in the secret room and present them to me. Do you remember?"

Xiao Yu looked at her with sharp, scrutinizing eyes.

Wang Yirong replied calmly: "I remember, but the secret room was always guarded and I didn't find a chance to go in."

"Where is the secret room? Tell me, and I'll send someone to look for it later." Xiao Yu said, staring at him straight in the eyes, his words filled with an authority that could not be refused.

"In the bedroom." Wang Yirong replied.

Xiao Yu stared at Wang Yirong with sharp eyes, but Wang Yirong did not evade at all.

Xiao Yu looked away and looked at the drawing in his hand.

If the secret room is really built in the bedroom, it is indeed more difficult to access than other places.

However, Xiao Yu still had doubts about Wang Yirong's surrender. He looked at Wang Jingshu again, "Miss Wang, why did you betray your father?"

Wang Yirong lowered her eyes, sneered, and began to recall the past.
