After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

When they came out of the bedroom, they saw Yun Ting leaning against the pillar with a sullen face, and Yan Qing sitting listlessly on the railing under the porch.

"Yan Qing, when did you come back?" Su Lingyue asked in surprise.

These days, Yan Qing was away, and she always felt that the mansion was particularly deserted.

Yan Qing slowly raised his heavy head, his eyelids drooping, looking listless.

"An hour ago." His voice was emotionless, and he looked so tired that he might fall to the ground and fall asleep any moment.

Su Lingyue asked worriedly: "How long have you not slept?"

"One day and one night." Yan Qing raised a finger with difficulty.

Seeing that Yan Qing was so tired but still waiting here, Xiao Yu knew that Yan Qing’s investigation should have yielded some results.

Since the matter was confidential, several people went into the study.

"How's the investigation going?" Xiao Yu asked.

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Yan Qing took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, opened it with trembling hands and handed it to Xiao Yu.

"Guan Baiyu is Zheng Zixu, the Minister of Rites. A witness has been found. Here is the witness' signature and seal, as well as Guan Baiyu's portrait as evidence."

Xiao Yu looked at the evidence in his hand, his eyes were filled with undisguised coldness, "It's really like searching for something without any effort, but now I have it."

No one expected that Su Heng would let go of such a key witness and keep him right under his nose.

Yun Ting snorted coldly, "He is just too conceited and thinks no one can do anything to him!"

"In previous years, Su Heng was the one who handled diplomatic relations, assisted by the Minister of Rites. Maybe he just happened to be short of manpower. We should not alert him for now. We must wait until all the evidence is complete before we can deal him a fatal blow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the two finished talking, Xiao Yu looked at Yan Qing with a gratified look on his face, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good sleep. You don't have to serve me for the next two days."

"Okay." Yan Qing pulled the corners of his mouth into a not-so-nice smile, and walked out of Furong Pavilion with his head hung down.

After Yan Qing left, Xiao Yu looked at Yun Ting again, "What's the matter with you?"

Yun Ting said in a cold voice: "This morning, the emperor released Su Heng, but he is still imprisoned in the palace. At the same time, he issued two imperial decrees. The first one is to separate the patrol battalion from the imperial guards. The deputy commander of the imperial guards will be promoted to commander to manage the patrol battalion, and the deputy commander will be replaced by the captain who was originally in charge of South Street."

He looked at Su Lingyue: "The second son of the Jiang family made a contribution in this incident and was directly promoted to the sixth rank lieutenant, responsible for the security of South Street."

"Are you serious?" Su Lingyue's clear eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief. She excitedly took Xiao Yu's hand and asked, "My Lord, how many levels has my second cousin been promoted?"

Seeing her so happy, Xiao Yu also showed a gentle and doting smile, "Promoted three levels in a row, it is indeed a happy event."

Su Lingyue smiled, "After lunch, let's go see my second cousin, okay?"

Seeing that Su Lingyue was eager to fly to Jiang Mansion immediately, knowing that she couldn't stay, he suggested, "Okay, Yue'er, go pick out the gift first?"

"Well, I'll go to Jinxiu Pavilion to take a look. Your Highness, please go to the dining hall and wait for me later." After saying that, Su Lingyue lifted her skirt and walked out of the study.

When Su Lingyue's footsteps completely disappeared, Xiao Yu put away his smile and asked Yun Ting: "What is the other imperial decree?"

"The emperor has issued an order to the patrol camp and Jingzhao Prefecture to thoroughly investigate all people in the capital. Anyone with a delphinium pattern on their body will be arrested and sent to the Ministry of Justice for severe torture."

"That's fine, we don't have to worry about it. It's easier than investigating it ourselves."

The biggest trouble now is that no one knows where Chu Yin is hiding and what he is planning. If the emperor sends people to find out, they can follow the clues and uproot him.

In the dining room, Xiao Yu waited for Su Lingyue for a while before she finally arrived.

"What did you pick?" Xiao Yu scratched Su Lingyue's cheek with his fingers.

Su Lingyue held down Xiao Yu's rebellious hand, "My mother and I's dowry were all girls' things. I only found a silver dagger inlaid with two rubies, and also picked out some silks, satins, and porcelain ornaments. The Jiang family has all of these, so it's a token of my appreciation."

Xiao Yu raised the corners of his lips.

This is indeed the style of the Jiang family.

Any dagger you pick up is worth a lot of money. However, this kind of dagger is only for decoration. If you really use it to kill people, the gems on it are too eye-catching.

However, Jiang Siqi's skills are pretty good, so there is no need to worry about that.

In order not to dampen Su Lingyue's enthusiasm, Xiao Yu still responded with a smile: "The dagger is very suitable for a general."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Su Lingyue smiled, "I think so too!"

After lunch, the two of them rested in the hall for an hour and then set off for Jiang Mansion.

There was no red silk tied outside the mansion, and apart from the gatekeeper's face showing some joy, there was nothing else unusual.

After the servant reported, Madam Jiang brought Jiang Siqi out to greet them.

The haze that had enveloped the Jiang residence finally dissipated a little, and Madam Jiang's face, which had become much thinner, was visibly happy. Jiang Siqi, wearing iron armor and an iron helmet, held his head high and followed Madam Jiang in high spirits.

Behind them was Jiang Yan and Su Lingyue’s eldest cousin, Wang, holding a little baby wearing a tiger-head hat in her hands.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."

"I pay my respects to the prince and princess."

Several people bowed and bent down to salute Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue. The little man with a tiger-head hat and a rosy face also imitated Jiang Siqi and bowed to them, making everyone laugh.

"Everyone, stand up!" Xiao Yu said in a gentle voice.

Su Lingyue took a step forward, helped Jiang Siqi to support Madam Jiang, and smiled playfully: "Congratulations, aunt, for raising both cousins ​​so well."

"Congratulations to my second cousin on his promotion."

Jiang Fu and Madam Jiang have always attached great importance to the upbringing of their two sons. Now that their two sons, one a civil official and the other a military officer, have both obtained official positions of moderate importance, Madam Jiang is naturally happy.

She looked at Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue, with sincere gratitude in her eyes, "They are now able to rise to prominence, in addition to our education, but also thanks to the help of Yue'er and the prince."

Xiao Yu raised the corner of his lips, "We are all family, no need to be polite."

Jiang Siqi also agreed with a smile: "Mother, my cousin and the prince are our family, it's so strange to say that! I can't thank you enough for your kindness. In the future, I will ask my men to patrol the area around the palace carefully, so that not even a fly can fly into the palace, so that my cousin and the prince can live in peace and comfort."

Su Lingyue smiled and bowed to Jiang Siqi, "Thank you in advance, second cousin."

At this time, Su Lingyue's wife Wang said, "Mother, second brother, it's windy outside, let the prince and cousin sit in the hall and talk."

Mother Jiang smiled suddenly, "I was so happy that I forgot about it. Prince, Yue'er, come in."

A few people made way, and Mrs. Jiang accompanied Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue inside, with the others following behind.

Jiang Yan, who had been silent the whole time, blushed and silently retreated to the back, walking in a row with Yun Ting.

"Mr. Yun, long time no see." She was so shy that her voice was so soft that I could hardly hear it.

However, Yun Ting is a martial artist with excellent hearing and vision. He turned his head, still with a cold face, and nodded to Jiang Yan out of courtesy, "Miss Jiang."

After saying that, he turned his head back to the front and didn't look at Jiang Yan.

Hearing Yun Ting's cold voice, Jiang Yan's slightly red face turned even redder. She covered her chest with her hands, suppressing the uncontrollable throbbing in her heart, and her eyes unconsciously glanced to her side.
