After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Although she had doubts, Qin Yaoguang was still shocked when she heard that there was a hidden story behind her grandmother's death.

There is no other reason, the truth is just too cruel.

Her first reaction was that she was afraid that the Queen Mother would not be able to bear it.

The sudden passing of Mrs. Cui was a huge blow to her.

Knowing that she was murdered...

Qin Yaoguang didn't know whether the Queen Mother could withstand it.

Or, keep it secret until everything is revealed.

By that time, if Cui Yongwei were to be pulled out of the matter, the death of Old Madam Cui would no longer be a big deal.

In the original book, the Xue family was liquidated after Yan Changqing returned to Beijing, but not now.

Instead, his house was searched after the Spring Festival. Xue Qingkong died in February, still in the Dali Temple prison.

Qin Yaoguang was convinced that a series of plot disturbances were triggered by her entry into the book.

The events remain the same, but the timeline has changed.

The Cui family has continued to exist, and Old Lady Cui lived until the end of the original book and is still alive.

Because the Cui family colluded with Prince Ruyang, after the incident, the mastermind was beheaded, the title was abolished, and the entire family was driven back to the Cui family's old house to live in elegies for the sake of the Empress Dowager.

If she wants to deal with the Cui family, she must have solid evidence.

Qin Yaoguang said solemnly: "I'll leave this matter to the prince. Once the facts are verified, I will make them pay the price!"

The life involved is not just Yue Lu's.

"I will serve my wife, even if it means going through fire and water!"

Yan Changqing deserves it decisively.

Qin Yaoguang was moved and said softly, "Prince, there is no need to risk your life. Your safety is the most important thing."

Yan Changqing was startled for a moment, then his expression relaxed.

"Madam, don't worry. We have gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire. We have nothing to fear from the small Cui family."

The Cui family, which had lasted for hundreds of years, became the "Little Cui Family" in his mouth.

If someone else said this, it would seem too arrogant.

But he is Yan Changqing.

Everything he has experienced and his strength are the best footnotes to this sentence.

After returning to the courtyard, Yan Changqing made some arrangements, and two confidants left the Princess's Mansion one after another to deliver letters elsewhere.

The lights are coming on and the night is fading.

Only in the brothels and willow alleys there were still singing and dancing and the sound of stringed instruments.

In the luxuriously decorated top-notch brothel, Grand Chancellor Jiang Ce raised his glass and invited him to a feast, laughing wildly: "Lord Cui, it is the most difficult to enjoy the kindness of a beauty, you must not let down this beautiful scene."

Two beautiful ladies snuggled beside Cui Yongwei, one holding a wine jug in her slender hands, while the other picked up a round winter date and wanted to feed it into his mouth.

Cui Yongwei stepped back with a stiff back and reached out to take the winter dates from her hand.

He has always been low-key. If Jiang Ce hadn't invited him, he would never come to such a place.

How can a man who wants to do great things indulge in women!

After decades of walking on thin ice, is all he wants just a few prostitutes with beautiful arms that everyone wants to sleep with?

He could afford any woman he wanted.

Cui Yongwei concealed his disdain and said, "Master Jiang, I didn't even know that you are a veteran in the romantic world. What is the important matter that you invited me to today?"

Jiang Ce laughed and poured him a glass of wine. He avoided the question and asked, "Brother Qing, is this your first time here?"

"You'll know the fun of this place if you come here a few more times."

Cui Yongwei could refuse to drink if someone poured him wine, but the other party was the Grand Marshal, so Cui Yongwei had to give him face.

During the Spring Festival, there are constant banquets in the capital.

Although Jiang Ce's invitation came a little too hastily, it was not out of the blue.

What's more, with the title of Grand Marshal, no matter who he invites among the civil and military officials, the other party will not refuse.

Before coming to the banquet, Cui Yongwei thought he was just a guest, but he didn't expect that Jiang Ce only invited him.

This made him a little uneasy.

Although they were officials in the same dynasty, he and Jiang Ce were not even in a superior-subordinate relationship and did not have a deep friendship.

The Grand Marshal was in charge of maps, books, memorials, and supervised all civil and military officials, and was in charge of the Censorate.

Taifu Temple is one of the Nine Ministers, and Grand Tutor Xie Shu is Cui Yongwei's immediate superior.

However, both the Cui and Xie families are centuries-old prestigious families. Ever since Xie Shu became the Grand Tutor, the Cui family has been firmly suppressed by the Xie family.

Everyone knows that the Cui family and the Xie family are not on good terms.

The relationship is complicated. In short, Cui Yongwei and Jiang Ce are just nodding acquaintances.

Jiang Ce is a person who is particularly good at weighing the pros and cons. As everyone knows, he has long sided with Xie Shu.

The Censorate, which supervises all officials, became deaf and dumb whenever it came across the Xie family's affairs, which made all officials indignant.

When Cui Yongwei received Jiang Ce's invitation, he thought that he was coming to criticize him on behalf of Xie Shu.

However, until this moment, Jiang Ce had not mentioned a word, leaving him confused about the lawsuit and not knowing where to start.

Before I knew it, I had drunk a few more glasses of wine.

The wine goes down your throat, sweet and refreshing.

It was worthy of being the famous paradise in the capital. Even the wine and drinks were the finest of the best, many times better than what he had in his house.

In order to create a reputation as an honest official, Cui Yongwei has always restrained his selfish desires.

Jiang Ce glanced at him and clapped his hands as a signal.

Behind the crystal clear glass bead curtain, a graceful figure sways slenderly, and her every move exudes intoxicating charm.

Flowers are most beautiful when viewed through the fog, and so are beauties.

Especially since this beauty can play the piano very well and has a clear and gentle voice.

Under the influence of alcohol, Cui Yongwei stared at the beauty behind the pearl curtain.

If Jiang Ce, the giant Buddha, had not been sitting next to him, he would have already lifted the pearl curtain to catch a glimpse of the beauty's true face.

In his daze, he had a feeling in his heart: drinking and singing, this is the ultimate happiness in life.

He didn't notice that there was a hint of contempt in Jiang Ce's eyes when he looked at him.

Why are you pretending to be noble?

He is nothing but a mediocre person who has been blinded by lust.

After the song was over, the beauty opened the pearl curtain, walked in, and knelt down to greet him: "Qiu Xue greets Lord Sikong and Lord Siqing."

Her face is as beautiful as a spring flower and her eyes are as clear as autumn water. She walks like a willow swaying in the wind, which is really pitiful.

Cui Yongwei stared at her and felt as if his soul was about to be taken away.

Jiang Ce chuckled and introduced the two people: "Qingqing, this is Miss Qiuxue who is an excellent musician and chess player. I came to meet you today because I knew you were coming."

"Brother, this is all thanks to you!"

In a short period of time, he and Cui Yongwei became close brothers.

However, under the influence of alcohol and sex, Cui Yongwei did not notice anything wrong, and the slight vigilance in his heart had long since faded away.

Jiang Ce's words seemed to lift him up, but he had no doubt at all and stroked his short beard to be humble.

"No, no, my reputation is not comparable to that of Lord Sikong."

He speaks modestly, but is actually quite proud.

When he passed the imperial examination, matchmakers came to propose marriage to him and lined up at his door.

Qiu Xue picked up a glass of wine, looked at him with her beautiful eyes, and said affectionately: "I have heard that Master Cui is an excellent zither player. I have long wanted to learn a thing or two from him. I hope you will be generous in giving me some advice."

Cui Yongwei stroked her palm, leaned over to look at her and asked, "I wonder if there is anything you don't understand?"

The contempt in Jiang Ce's eyes could no longer be hidden.

But Cui Yongwei had long lost the intention to observe him.
