After Jiang Fu left the court, he went to the Dali Temple accompanied by Jiang Siyuan.

Duan Xu was in charge of trying this case, so he must have known something that others didn't know, which was why Prime Minister Cui asked him to find Duan Xu.

Duan Xu was checking on the injuries of Prince Jing in the No. 1 cell when his guards came to report that the father and son from the Jiang family had arrived.

The Jiang family father and son?

Duan Xu thought of the blank imperial edict and had a rough idea in his mind.

"Take him to the reception room and serve him tea. I will be there shortly."

After giving the order, Duan Xu turned around and looked at King Jing. At this moment, the doctor was applying medicine to the wound on his head.

Xiao Changan opened his eyes weakly and looked at Duan Xu, "Sir Duan, how does father plan to deal with me?"

Duan Xu's face froze. Since the matter had not been fully investigated, he could not say much, so he said in a gentle voice, "Your Highness is the son of His Majesty no matter what. Just rest and recuperate."

"Xiao Yu, you will pay the price for daring to deceive me!" Xiao Chang'an said hatefully, and as if he had lost all his strength, he closed his eyes and let the imperial physician bandage him.

Duan Xu vaguely heard what was said just now, but he didn't understand what this matter had to do with Prince Su.

After arriving at the reception room, Duan Xu greeted the Jiang family father and son and asked, "I wonder why Brother Jiang wants to see me?"

Jiang Fu took out the imperial edict with only a seal from his sleeve and handed it to Duan Xu, saying solemnly: "Your Majesty has asked me to make the decision on how to deal with King Jing, and I am really in a dilemma. Brother Duan is investigating this matter, do you have any advice?"

Duan Xu retracted his gaze, thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang Fu again and said, "This matter also involves other people. As for who it is, I'm sorry I can't tell you, but His Majesty ordered yesterday to let the rumor end at King Jing, and privately ordered me to continue investigating the person behind the scenes. His Majesty asked you, Brother Jiang, to deal with King Jing because he wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible. No matter how serious it is, outsiders can't say anything."

He spoke vaguely. Jiang Fu had been in officialdom for so many years and was deeply trusted by the emperor. He should understand some things without being pointed out.

Duan Xu patted Jiang Fu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This matter is a hot potato, and only you can end it. Brother Jiang, go back and have a good discussion with your nephew, you will definitely find a way. When you are done, come to my house and I will give you a welcoming banquet."

Jiang Fu understood and smiled, "Okay, I'll pay for it then."

Duan Xu's face lit up with joy, "That's great, I don't have to ask Madam for money!"

After saying goodbye to Duan Xu, Jiang Fu and Jiang Siyuan went straight back to their mansion to start thinking of a solution.

In Furong Pavilion, Li Jing pushed open the bedroom door, walked around the screen, lifted the lotus-colored gauze curtain, and saw Su Lingyue still sleeping soundly with her pillow in her arms.

But his sleeping posture was not very proper. He was sleeping horizontally in the middle of the bed, with his head on the edge and a corner of the quilt draped over his body. His fair little face was slightly red from sleeping.

Caiyi whispered, "Miss Ajing, let me tell you, the young lady won't wake up for at least another hour."

Li Jing was stubborn, "She made an appointment with me yesterday, I can't go back on her word."

After saying that, he bent down and gently pushed Su Lingyue, "Princess, wake up."

Su Lingyue snorted and slowly opened her eyes. She was still a little confused when she saw Li Jing, "Ah Jing, why are you here?"

Li Jing looked serious, "Princess, do you still remember the agreement you made with me yesterday?"

Su Lingyue closed her eyes and began to think about what happened yesterday. When she was almost falling asleep, she remembered the agreement with Li Jing: to learn Ba Duan Jin from Li Jing to exercise this morning.

But she was so sleepy and wanted to sleep a little longer.

She then acted coquettishly with Li Jing: "Ah Jing, let's practice again in an hour. I really want to sleep a little longer."

Li Jing didn't agree with her and said seriously: "Now is the best time to strengthen your body. Princess, you will miss it if you sleep too much."

Finally, at Li Jing's insistence, Caiyi called Lvzhu to bring hot water so that Su Lingyue could wash and change clothes. Li Jing supervised Caiyi and Lvzhu's work with satisfaction.

With Caiyi's skillful hands, Su Lingyue tied up her long hair, wore a spring shirt over her inner garment, and practiced Ba Duan Jin with Li Jing in the room.

Su Lingyue had thin arms and legs, and had never practiced these things before. It was her first time practicing, and she felt it was new and new, but she was sweating profusely after a while.

Li Jing was like a strict teacher, correcting her movements beside her. After she had learned it well, she started teaching her the next move.

Caiyi and Luzhu were curious and followed suit, and Li Jing was generous in teaching them.

Su Lingyue sighed as she followed the practice: "Ah Jing, I thought you only practiced martial arts on weekdays, I didn't expect you to practice this."

Li Jing raised the corners of her lips and smiled freely, "Practicing this before practicing kung fu can dredge the meridians and blood. You sit and embroider all day, and your meridians will be blocked after a long time. Practicing this is good for you."

When Luzhu heard this, he immediately became more serious. "Now that you mention it, I really do feel a lot more relaxed. Caiyi, how about you?"

Caiyi responded, "Me too."

The four of them were all sweating and practicing very hard when there was a knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Caiyi asked.

Xia He outside the house replied, "Sister Caiyi, Princess Anyang and her husband have come with gifts, saying they are here to see the prince."

The few people stopped their movements. Caiyi looked at Su Lingyue and said, "Miss, do you want to see me?"

Su Lingyue frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "The princess is an elder, so I still have to meet her. Please help me dress and change my clothes."

After the exercise, her underwear was soaked with sweat. She had no time to take a shower, so Caiyi fetched some hot water and simply wiped her body.

She changed into a light blue robe with a lotus leaf pattern and a coat of the same color. She tied her long hair up and pinned two gold lotus hairpins and a gold lantern hairpin, looking dignified.

Before leaving the bedroom, Su Lingyue said to Caiyi and the others, "You are all sweating and haven't changed your clothes yet. Go back and change your clothes first. Let Xia He follow me."

Li Jing said: "I have been doing this for many years, so I don't need to change."

Su Lingyue smiled at her, "Don't worry, the princess is the prince's sister, she won't do anything. Even if you know kung fu, your body is not made of iron."

Remembering Xiao Yu's instructions before he left, Li Jing pushed the door open and walked ahead without hesitation, "Let's go, I must follow, this is the prince's order."

Speaking of Xiao Yu, Su Lingyue felt a pang in her heart and all kinds of emotions began to surge again.

Suppressing her emotions, Su Lingyue said nothing more and let her follow.
